shoover188 said: Wow. What a series. It's rated a criminal 7.56. WTF. This is easily the most original sci-fi anime I have seen in years. Super underated. I definately got way more Gurren Lagann and Matrix vibes then Attack on Titan, so IDK what people are talking about there. Regardless, the whole series was excellent. Loved the characters. Terrific finale. Favorite show of 2020 for me so far. Never once thought of AoT when I first saw this. Those people love AoT so much that they see one thing in common with AoT, it reminds them of AoT. To me, this is more like Monster Hunter or God Eater. |
| Dang that was great. A great waste of time.... I wanted to prove myself wrong and that I would actually come to like this show after the episode 2 plot twist disappointed me to kingdom come. While watching the rest of it wasn’t half bad, it just could’ve been much better (for me, PERSONALLY) if they just left out all that AI alien cartoon whatever bs. Sure it’ll change a lot of the core fundamentals of the show, but in changing it to just be more simple I think it could’ve been much better. It redeemed itself a little bit now that I’ve finished it, but I’m left with a bitter taste when thinking of all the wasted potential. Sure it wouldn’t have been very special either way, but it could’ve been more, enjoyable. Whatever that’s just my own HUMBLE opinion I’d be lying if I said I don’t see how the majority of you seem to like it; I see the appeal for sure. That appeal is just not the type that sits well with me. Natsume was a good character, I wish she had a better show to be in |

| Well, Kabu-Dence won and the show ended as the creator wanted (makes sense from all this system talk). Deca-Dence is a better place now, but I wonder how did this all happen in the first place and what's behind that old city humans lived in. Looking forward to the 2nd season 8/10 |
| I honestly thought the first half of this show was absolutely dreadful but they managed to turn this around completely the more they got away from the boring Gadoll fights and focused more on what was really going on within the world, Think I'd find this hard to recommend to people overall because of the first 4-6 episodes but it ended up being worth it in the end. 7/10 |
| honestly i'll give it that, Deca dence was definitely an anime i didn't expect to see myself getting into, but i really can't complain, this was a really stellar anime start to finish. This anime definitely had it's weakness and, weird parts to it that slightly made me loose touch with it, but honestly these weird twists like the robot overlords and game features really just added to it more. Story wise, loved the plot and character interactions/development. The hidden twist of the world being artificial with robot overlords, had it downsides but i liked it. Visuals were top notch. I'll stand by me saying that from start to finish, the fight scenes in this anime were absolutely amazing, a lot of action in them that all flows so well. Studio NUT once again acing the action. Design for characters and such, were pretty meh. The concept of Deca Dence is cool, with the whole using Gadoll blood as fuel, actual humans being residence inside and you know, being a massive fucking fist as well. The different forms of Gadoll as well as their ability to create those zero-gravity fields were all pretty creative in my opinion. Music was just *chiefs kiss* hot . I really don't know if its because something about anime studios having the best taste in choosing the hottest string and woodwind instruments that just get me weak in the knees, but if so i love the ost in this anime. Few downsides would be, ending felt eeeeeeeeh, didn't feel like it did the anime very good justice and felt like a slight killer to me. All in all, i'll give it a 7.9/10. Like i really did enjoy this anime don't get me wrong, looking past the slightly goofy story it really is a very good overall anime, i just feel like the ending could have been slightly better. |

| Jill just happens to have made a backup of Kaburagi feels like an asspull to me but I suppose needed to have a full happy ending instead of letting the other characters live better lives thanks to his sacrifice. Overall things didn't quite click so will give a 7/10 but it was an enjoyable watch even if it won't be one of my favorites. Could still give it another go though. |
 |
| I'm rather happy with that ending, but I still feel it could be much better. For one, we could use 10 more mins for an aftermatch. Epilogue, while nice, was way too abrupt, especially on the System side. And tbh I woud've preferred if they just destroyed that whole thing. |
| THIS DECA-DENCE IS THE DRILL THAT WILL PIERCE THE GADOLL! Amazing anime, definitely didn't expect it to be this good. Even though a mix of different anime was noticable, it managed to be its own unique thing which studio NUT really gains my respect for. Really nice end with Cyborgs and Tankers living peacefully and boy Kaburagi returning from the backup! |
 |
| it was the happy ending we deserved, they threw in here in the last episode another twist, apparently the system was inside Decadence and the destruction was supposed to happen, it was a cycle of destruction of regeneration, very cool. Kabu used his limiter, I don't really know why were those parts so important, it looked like rubbish and they needed oxyone but whatever. The system is abolished with the destruction of Decadence and now the cyborgs are living together with the humans, what a story. Natsume with long hair looks gorgeous and she met that copy Kabu in the end, good for her. A very refreshing series and enjoyable to watch 8/10 |

| I saw a lot of inspirations for this anime. Reminded me of Eureka seven, Attack on Titan, SAO, Godzilla, Gurren lagann and Monsters inc. There might have been other mecha anime inspirations too. The robots designs were good and it grew on me. Pretty good overall. I think the ending would have been better if Kaburagi stayed dead though. The system abandoning its position and handing over the controls happened too fast and wasn't elaborated upon much. The first 3 episodes had some info dumps that weren't handled well. The explanation was too fast and they rushed to the meat of the plot. 7/10 for the anime. |
| The final glint in her eyes - did you feel it as hard as I did? What a brilliant ending. For a time I thought Kabu's gone for good. Well not quite! The ending was interesting, but it left me kinda confused regarding the system. I guess Kabu broke the system's expectations? Might read up on it later, but the important things are resolved; People live in harmony with little bots and even Gadoll (safe ones, as pets). Farming tools! Propeler hand extension! Tourism and entertainment. Extremely Wholesome. Love the series, leaving it a nice 10. |
 |
| A solid ending with Kabu pushing past his limits! Natsume's post time skip appearance actually looks really pretty. I'm actually ok with Kabu surviving. Natsume's reaction at the end got me pretty emotional. |
 |
| My 112th completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it a 7/10 rating. |
| In the first episode you kinda believe to know where the story could go and then episode 2 slaps you with such a crazy twist. I personally was excited to see something this unique and it also being an anime original surprised me even more. Both Kabu and Natsume suited perfect as the main characters and their interaction was very enjoyable to watch. What an satisfying ending. Kabu becoming Deca-Den...sorry I mean Kabu-Dence, breaking his limits with and finally killing this giant Gadoll with this big drill was awesome. Honestly I wasn't sure if he would survive. Obviously I was hoping for it but at this point it could have gone either way. Nontheless I'm glad Jill had a forgotten copy of him. 3 years later the system changed completely and Deca-Dence became a city were people are able to have fun. Tankers and humans now live side by side which is great. Natsume looked beautiful at the end but damn when I saw Kabu walking towards her and also seeing her reaction made me teary. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Thanks for this ride Nut! |

| Well that was a fun ride! Sadly there was no kissing scene or marriage (system) between our two main characters as I'd hoped it'd be... 🥺😁😏 Well, if you think about it, they are a human and a cyborg. They would need to transfer his program data or should I call it a soul or memories into a real body... This paragraph will be off topic so I will stop here. 😅 I will miss the character of Natsume and Kabu but especially Natsume who has a character that never gives up! I really, really do love her character! 😍 I would love to meet her IRL! lol XD Anyway, I am glad how this episode/series was produced. There's nothing wrong with the series as most of the animation was explained. I just hope people won't compare it with other stories... which won't really stop them... Overall, I was entertained and satisfied at the very least. It was enjoyable per episode, the feeling of wanting more out of this story 9/10. 1★ is removed because there's no romance between them 😅! There's no Kabu's realization of love for Natsume... Only a letter, which is nice in this day and age. |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Really quite interesting story. I enjoyed it a lot. Thr only thing i dislike is natsume's behavior. I just dont like it, especially casually throw a word like push your limit. I've fun 6/10 |

| One of the most unique anime I've seen in a long time! Came in expecting a TTGL clone and was pleasantly surprised by a premise that felt like a mesh of The Matrix with Attack on Titan. We've had many stories recently trying to subvert expectations only to fail hard (*cough* The Last of Us 2 and The Last Jedi *cough*), so it's nice to see this show doing it right for once. The first few episodes were super confusing, but thankfully the story got a lot better quickly. Really enjoyed the chemistry between Natsume and Katsuragi. Natsume is an all-around likable protagonist, and Katsuragi pretty much stole the spotlight with his badassery and great character development. Gotta say though that while most of the cyborg cast are memorable characters, the humans other than Natsume are pretty much forgettable. I can't even recall the names of nearly all the human characters after finishing the show. Another thing worth pointing out is the comedy. Most of the humor hit home for me, especially whenever Jill and Donatello are involved. Seriously, the cyborg crew was easily the best part of the show hands down. I was kinda iffy with their weird designs at first before realizing why the show creators made them that way. Good show overall. Would have benefitted from more episodes and stronger world-building. 7/10 |
 |
| The first episode was extremely good, but after it introduced the pseudo-virtual reality concept it just got plain weird. The 'cyborgs' are the least interesting (and most cartoonish) part of the series by far, and they get more and more screen time toward the middle. As does the VRMMO terminology. Ultimately it felt like a Gurren Lagann-SAO mash-up (with a Kaiba aesthetic) that couldn't properly sand down the edges where the two meet. |
| Some elements in this anime could have used more build-up (particularly for many of these characters), but it still kept me intrigued so... I believe the series would be far superior if it had more time/episodes to develop the characters and the world-building in general, as well as to provide us with more information regarding this "system." To be honest, we don't know much. The final is quite weak tbh. 4/10. |
| Lot of interesting ideas especially similar to avatar, matrix and mortal engines (though with generic japan's usual troupe aka monster vs mecha). It's concepts and presentation were quite neat, but characterisation was quite weak especially in the first half. The first half (basically the human/tank and gear side people) were barely developed beyond character profile. Second half got better especially the correction facility arc was solid with good characterisation and development. Ending arc felt generic towards the safe side (plus a lot of potential setup felt wasted like hugin and kuranei felt wasted), though ending (new mashup world) had a lot of interesting idea too. Female mc had a bit subpar character writing (there not substantial development even after the reveal). But the male mc was was good enough, probably the best character of this series. Other than that the only characters who stood out were the inmates from correction facility arc and the commander. The rest were not even worth noticing So basically it started with interesting setup but very weak writing then got really better in second half and then towards the end landed somewhere in middle. Ideas were fascinating, but it needed a better script writer who would actually put some effort in developing characters |

  Click for a anime mashup! Still not gone bandwagon u, keep crying. Here u are welcome to CRINGE at my EXISTENCE |
|
| This was a surprisingly good ending. No asspull or power of friendship making Kabu survive the collapse, but still managed to keep him around and just enough of a tease to show that he's back to Natsume without making it dragged out. Didn't try too hard to explain everything that changed since the fight, just showed what current society/life looks like. Good solid ending with no plot lines left open and a self contained season. I was scared they were going to keep upping the stakes and let things spiral out of control, but they kept it all coherent and within reason. All in all, this was a surprisingly good show that very aptly landed the ending. I'm impressed. 8/10 |
 |
| That was quite an enjoyable anime. I enjoyed it much more than I initially thought I would. It was nice to see both robots and humans living in peace after a few years and that the existence of bugs are now deemed as necessary. Though I wonder what happened to the Purple Nosed Guy as well as the creator of the system. |
| I..I think this was the best original Anime I had seen it had many details and things that could've go wrong without a reference to guide it but it did great. Yeah, maybe the implied reunion at the end might be a cliché and it was done to please the romance audience but it didn't do much damage anyway. What an enjoyable ride. |
| Really underrated show, one of the more unique ones out there. There are a lot of very likeable non human characters in the show. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Though it wasnt favourite show the final few eps including the finale really changed my mind. The end fight was nice and the animation was solid. Natsume really grew on me. Overall 7/10 |
 |
| This ending gave me power of friendship vibes, evergone on Deca Dence whether human or Cyborg worked together to defeat the rogue Gadoll and they succeeded. Kaburagi risked himself to make that possible alongside his team. In the end, Cyborgs lived among the humans and created a colony within the wreckage of the Deca Dence. The atmosphere in the new colony was lively and the open space is a stark contrast to the prior enclosed dome of Deca Dence. Well rewarding ending with what is assumed to be Kaburagi's human avatar appearance in the distant future with an adult Natsume. 5/10 if the series didn't have Natsume so pretentious and unnecessarily rebellious it would've been a lot better. |
| Gotta have a motivational montage and kaiju battle for sure lol. This was great. This is why I love one cour or two cour shows. It's complete and without waste. Other stories could learn a lot from shows like this. Really great show and great ending. Not a single bad episode or character that I can think of. Probably an 8.5ish, but I'll bump it to 9 just for the feels in that last scene. |
