amagirinomikoto said: this was the ending???? this???? well i mean its not what i was expecting. ngl, when "god" "killed himself" i had a chuckle. like uhh i mean okay? i kinda feel like we're missing something with nasse, or that her character was never fully explained. like okay she was an organism on earth when og god came down but i feel that that doesnt really explain much? anyways yeah i can FINALLY talk about the fact that i spoiled for myself that mirai died. i thought he was "dead" in the sense that he became god. but then when nakaumi became god i thought he was gonna kill off the god candidates and then thats when mirai would die. i didnt think EVERYONE was gonna die bc nakaumi destroyed humanity. i dont even think i understand why this happened but thats what google is for ig. kinda feel upset because its like ohba built this whole thing up and then destroyed it by killing everyone off. i also feel kinda okay with this y'know cuz saki and mirai seem like they cant live with out each other, so if they lived out their full lives then one would have died before the other. this way, they died at the same time and don't have to go on without the other. not really platinum mad, moreso platinum sad at how this platinum ended. (sorry) shoutout to the red arrow for being one of the most inconsistent abilities that i have ever paid attention to in an anime. based and platinum chad'd |

| By the way, why was this show even called Platinum End in the first place? Was it never explained lol |
|
| Nasse said its finally over, all were true to be over. Daaanngg Heh at least that's a solid ending, even with a very fucked up approaching. Having your mc achieved his things. Having your side characters also achieved their own things. Even God also achieved God things. Yea, frickin Platinum End. Mind blowing. Its actually a new experience to me! Alas, even if the ending is a solid platinum. But still all the process through it and to achieve that actually pretty much dissapointing. Mirai isn't really a likeable character even until the end. The plotting isn't really something like i expect. Though making this also not my cup of tea. But whatever, it is what it is. Even sensei (yes you, sensei) couldn't comprehend such a platinum end, and started to blame others. Yes, blame, you... Muni-chan ftw. |

fancyjasper said: I kind of love how crazy the ending is. I acknowledge the show has tons of flaws, but i found myself enjoying it regardless. I do think stronger directing and better OST would've helped a lot. Needed way more choirs, like this last episode had. To be honest, this pretty much sums up my impression too. It's very ballsy from the creators to end off on such a note though. Kind of reminds me of Babylon's ending. |

| The time i spent watching it will never come back, that's honestly the only opinion I have about this episode, after metropoliman arc the show surely become a bit worse and i always wondered why people were so negative about the platinum, but this episode really puts the end in platinum end, the ending is probably not the worst, but the delivery and "building" definitely made it worst ending i saw so far. I feel it would've had more success if they just kept it a 12 episode anime with no season two and remain just an average battle royale anime, or to be honest even a 23 episode, it would've been perfectly fine to end with that guy becoming god and everyone minded their bussiness like nothing happened, but it feels like this episode alone completely ruined the whole anime. |
| This, ladies and gentlemen, is the epitome of abyss fiction. And, embarrassingly, from the author of Death Note and Bakuman of all people. |
 |
| The entire anime was just one of the directors trying to tell us "be good in life work hard cause death inevitable" Omfg... what kinda bible freak wrote this shit xD |
| Platinum End in a nutshell: Let's just waste 23 episodes on choosing a new God so that in the next episode he can kill himself. And drag the whole world with it... |
| Happy to see the ending not changed. Unhappy about the dog shit adaptation however. Oh well, that was the story of this show from the first episode onward. Could have been better. |

Byniavo said: By the way, why was this show even called Platinum End in the first place? Was it never explained lol When platinum was discovered they made false assumptions about it at first. And the characters in this anime all have false assumptions. The kid who became God assumed people needed help to commit suicide, later as God saw that that's not true, they can do it themselves. Also he assumed because God only watches, if he would disappear it wouldn't change anything. Which was also a false assumption. The professor was full of false assumptions. For example he predicted what would happen in the final fight, but because he doesn't understand people his plans failed. He also assumed the angel of destruction was a good guy and he was telling the truth about heaven and God. (but the angel tricked him) The lab assistant girl assumed she needed lots of instagram followers and the red arrows to control people to be happy. But in the end she was happy once she got a good paying job. I only watched a few episodes from the second half, so I don't know the other characters. |
merlin2v said: Well, I did have a theory that killing god would end the universe and all things. But to think that the series would do it. Huh. Honestly, not a fan of the last episode. The end goal of life is to struggle as far as it can. I can't deny that the way the world ended was disappointing. But alas, this was a thought provoking series so it's ending is also ironic. Still, a bit disappointed. I don't care for endings that nullify the existence of the entire story. Gives off the question "why create a world only to destroy it". But at the end of the day it is the authors choice. At the end of the day. I guess this story is a tragedy. A story that invokes despair rather than hope. Few stories venture down this path. After all, what is the point of a pointless world? In this case it was the dramatic end. I can't really hate the series for it though. Just disappointed. It's fine though, It's not like hope was completely lost. (edit: nvm this statement is mostly wrong and misleading. Was mostly based off of the question of "should we start again" which to that I say yes, please do :/ ) Tbh, I really can't understand how Gaku Yoneda couldn't consider the possibility that the world would be erased if god was killed. You know barely anything about this new realm of science and you decide that killing the creature is a good idea? Something you know nothing about that appears to have the capability to warp reality according to the angels. You only listen to one angel as a source of information? The great Achilles heel of a scientist is the inability to let go or consider what they believe to be true is possibly false. I understand that letting go is hard but it is important as a scientist to be able to let go or revise what you know to accommodate new information. Failure to do so breaks the scientific method. Anyway good, thought provoking show. Just.. disappointing end. Your post kinda made me hate this ending a bit less tbh, and only for the angel observation, since yoneda based his theories purely on what the literal angel of destruction said, and spreading those beliefs to everyone else especially shuuji i think the ending was inevitable. They literally predicted it when they introduced Muni, irc they said something like "the destruction is inevitable" or smth like that, so i think there's that. Basically a butterfly effect, one small bad influence can lead to everyone's doom. If Yoneda wouldn't been even at the end so desperate to know more about the creature nothing would've happened, if mirai became god he would be ok to literally just watch over as the new god and do absolutely nothing, but yoneda's curiosity and muni's manipulation dragged everyone into this doom. |
| This episode was the only good one in the series I can't even remember if there were a series that I disliked, but I liked the ending much more over the entire series. |
| The episode started to drag with the happiness talk And then... What? Why? For what reason? Furthermore? I just like the word. I think I understand the message (maybe it's try to be happy because you'll die in the future?), but why convey it like this?! It's like aaaaaaa I feel like a mix between what the hell did I just watch and disappointment Kakehashi accepting his death was stupid. This sudden end was stupid. In the end, these past 24 episodes were pointless. Is this an allegory about life? Or a way to say the 8 hours I spent watching could have been used to make me happy? I don't know I Don't Know Dogs |
| I loved the ending. Best episode in the series IMO. |
| End of Evangelion gone wrong LMAO. And that's why you don't let a suicidal emo kid become God. Anyways, shit finale for an overall shit series. Quite fitting, I would say. 1/10 - I'm so sorry, Mukaidou. You and your precious family sure didn't deserve to be part of this mess. |
| I liked the ending because it related to the main themes. The show focuses on depression and suicide. Nakaumi never ever intended to end humanity. He believed the death of God wouldn't make a difference in humanity. The original God told him that he can only watch and create life, so he felt god was unnecessary and agreed with the Professor's theory. Also, some suicidal people may think their death will make no difference to the world, but there are people affected by this regardless. Friend and family are affected by suicide and Nakaumi's choice cost humanity. The Mc and Saki got to live happily for 6 years and Nasse felt that their job was finished. This was a good bitter plot twist ending. 7/10 |
| so that was the PLATINUM END. I was following this show from the start expecting something great. To be exact first 4 episodes were very good but then it went downhill so hard in terms of animation and direction. It was like they tried to grab audience from first few episodes and used all the budget for them and rest of the series is just coloured still images with rarely noticeable animation. After peeping into Manga's Godly art, i can't believe author agreed to this type of garbage of an adaptation but at-least plot was interesting. 6/10 Edit: If someone wants to understand the Ending they can refer to this reddit thread though it is just a fan-made speculation |

Very Good Ending. |
| #?!#+# WWWHAT. "god killed himself" line was so funny uhm.. thats that! ..i guess. i definitely didnt see That coming but 💀💀?? errrrrr im glad that saki and mirai lived a happy life! highschool sweethearts, good married life, opened up a cute lil flowershop, and mirai also got rid off that emo ass cut. good for them i still cant believe it ended like that lmfao well !! its been quite a ride. glad its over |
| This ending would have hit harder, but I just finished Rewrite so I was already desensitized to this kind of ending. Anyway seeing Nasse fade away legit made me cry.. She even says bye bye to the screen, ugh!! I'll miss her but not this anime! |
| Honestly the ending was probably my favourite part of the show. My final score for Platinum End is a 4/10. |
  「 𝕂𝕖𝕪 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕙𝕚𝕕𝕖𝕤 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕔𝕖𝕤 𝕠𝕗 𝕕𝕒𝕣𝕜𝕟𝕖𝕤𝕤, 𝕤𝕙𝕠𝕨 𝕞𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕥𝕣𝕦𝕖 𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕞 」 |
| Finally, this dumpster fire has ended. Can't say I'm impressed. The ending was spoiled to me long ago so I didn't get much of a shock. This episode is like a big "fuck you" to everyone who decided to stick with the series till the end. It's brilliant in an ironic way. Because it felt like the ending message wanted me to take it seriously but I couldn't help but laugh at just how terrible it and everything preceding it was. Ngl the show did have promise at the beginning. It wasn't a total downward spiral as there were some ups and downs but the quality declined with each episode most of the time. There are 2 major flaws in this story that I could identify, not counting the countless smaller flaws. 1. The main gimmick of arrows is too convoluted. Every episode seemingly introduced completely new info about the arrow it felt like. And all of them felt like they were written for making the plot more convenient. The premise of Death Note was ingenious on the other hand. No new mechanics of the Death Note introduced in later episodes felt forced or out of place. Most major rules of using the Death Note was explained pretty early on. 2. The biggest flaw is the shitty characters. None of the characters has compelling writing. All are just walking stereotypes. Only Mukaido or Kanade felt half-decent (compared to the rest of the cast of PE that is) but ofc they had to be killed off halfway through the show. The biggest offender is the main character Mirai. His ideals make 0 sense and it felt like he got 0 character development by the end of the series. I am almost certain platinum end was only made to meet contractual obligations or something along those lines rather than the authors trying to create something they wanted. It's possible the magazine it was originally published on bugged the authors to create a 2nd death note and this anime tried to salvage the failure of the manga. This "platinum end" makes me wanna shit platinum. |
| bottom tier trash if I ever seen one |
| Am I a good person? No. But do I try to be better every single day? Also no |
| The ending could be fine with better context. Not every story needs to have a happy ending with everything solved. But it doesn't really make any sense. >Wanted to send Yoneda a message about his theory. He was after proving humans creating God. Erasing all llife and killing God didn't help or answer his theory at all. >I want to save people who are klilling themselves.. Not help them with their suicide! Erasing all life didn't help with this either. >This world is unfair! So killing everything helped with this.. how? Yeah it can't be unfair when nothing exists i guess. Wow great solution. Overall a shit show trying to be LE DEEP THINKPIECE. |

| What..... So life is pointless and can be recreated over and over again, which in this instance, was triggered by a suicidal kid. Not gonna lie, wasn't expecting that ending. |
