| Just had a binge re-watch of this series after listening to the Voices of the Chord song and damn I'm so happy I did. This is the first time in a long while that I've binged a series all at once. The two scenes that Lena and Shin met had me in tears. Basically re-watched the series just to see these scenes again and they're beautiful. I'm sooooo tempted to go straight to volume 4 of the light novel to continue it but I know I'll miss stuff that was probably missed out of the anime if I do. (Well volume 2 & 3 seem to be a nightmare to get my hands on) |

| I guess that the last moments were okey, the start of the episode was a complete garbage as well as the mid part, the only good thing was the last minutes scenes. Anyway, since this is the last episode, I will now proceed to write here what I think about this anime (taking into account season1). Completely dog shit story and characters with a few exceptions, the order of the shots and what type of shot was also garbage through the whole season, and the worst of all was how and when the music was used, they were changing music nonstop in scenes that shouldn't have had that music, really cutting the immersion of the anime tbh. Almost forgot to post this: STOP SKIPPING TIME AND PUTTING A RANDOM DATE THAT NO ONE IS GOING TO FOLLOW UNLESS THEY PAUSE THE ANIME SOMEHOW. The original premise of the story isn't bad, but how it is handled? Absolutely bad. I carry this opinion from the first season, what's the point in killing people if it doesn't have an impact on the story, characters nor the spectators? Exactly, there's no point. We learn that the general's country has been attacked by the Legion and that they lost in a week, Ok, what happened?, because from 2 characters we know that live there, their personality or views have changed nothing, the people of the city seem also unbothered by all the killing and destruction apart from 4 NPCs that still hate the people that has saved them, and the city is being rebuilt!, it's like nothing happened in the first place, incredible! And how is it possible that the policy of the Republic is that they follow human rights, but they also know what this other country is doing with KIDS that have different hair color and doing nothing to stop them? Seems very human rights friendly, yes. The whole shit with the powers of the kickable annoying kid and the shinigami that has to be reminded every episode that there's people that care about him was so bullshit, oh my god, we had like 8 conversations between them that led to nothing, literally nothing, since they repeated the same things over and over. And the Kiri bullshit, "I don't want him to die", he is already dead, and you should too. Now again, with the thing I don't understand the killing off characters, what's the point that these 4 sidekicks that aren't Shin in making them survive? They have added nothing to the story, like literally maybe Raiden is the only one that did something, the other 3 were fillers. Overall a bad story, good character designs that 96% of them get wasted or killed for literally no purpose, a lot of skipping time without telling so, and the main lead this time is terrible even for his own problems. 3/10 because the images they used were pretty, and the color palette was good too, the only good scenes this season were when they met, and the Eugene's grave scene, stop counting. |

| Nice. not as good as the mean score implies but not as bad as I imagined it to be. the absence of Lena in the second cour is a positive. 6/10 overall for cour 1+2 |
| Such a beautiful episode to wrap the season's finale! The long awaited meeting happened! Not just with Shin but with the whole gang. That photo at the end was simply so damn wholesome! |
| perfect, incrivel, magnifico! |
| seriously the best ending animes can have |
| They kept teasing that reunion forever! This series was so goddamn great. |
I witnessed a loli spill from a cartridge and somehow retained my sanity. |
| Oh my days, PEACE HAS BEEN RESTORED, I AM COMPLETE OMG THEY MET FACE TO FACE. NO HANDS SHALL BE THROWN ANYMORE!! Seeing how far they've come and changed since season 1 is so nice. Plus the art's absolutely gorgeous. At the end did they hold hands or smt, either way I SHIP, THEY'RE SO CUTE TOGETHER. SHIN AND LENA ALL THE WAY. Bro Theo's drawings were hilarious. The amount of stuff this series have put me through should be illegal, ngl probably one of the best anime endings I've seen. Not the best but definitely one of the best! |

| Thanks A-1, what a beautiful ending this cour suffered due to Lina absence, I still like the first cour better because it was full of characters and bonds unlike this one which mainly focused on the Legion fights and the loli but I am glad we regained some of that in the finale |
CQLLIST said: I watched the last scene of ep 12 more than 20 times its sooo satisfying and everytime i come out crying.................. T^TI couldn’t stop laughing when Ernst is wearing a rain-deer hat but at least he got some fashion 😎 and this episode reminds me of the 2nd episode where it’s enjoyable full SOL arc for each of them but this one is a lot more memorable ;c Shin visiting Eugene’s grave must be something hard and damn I know that white flowers Shin gave to his grave, symbolising undying love(?) (as in like best friends obv and I do kind of recall this scene similar in one of a episode from a different series where a guy gave a white flower to his one beloved person) 😭 and from all the aftermath, just gotta move forward and keep on fighting Shin the undertaker! Yess, they also showed Lena’s perspective and she visits her father’s grave, not gonna lie her surrounding looks very hectic but that’s the effect from the battlefield after all, and anyways it’s nice to see she’s more livelier in her own town. Nice that they inserted the OP in the 2nd half, I love the camera type of style direction that they used once again, it's always interesting to detail using those every now and then, Juggernaut I mean fucking Fido is the best character we all need for that camera movement <3 Also there was a nice OST, Idk who is singing it but it's a very calm one! and FINALLY, A FACE TO FACE, YES, THAT'S ALL I NEED, I MAY NOW REST IN PEACE  After all the tragedy and war, just like that, the 2nd cour for the 1st season is over.. can’t live without 86.. 10/10 episode! |
| Anime did real solid to 86 story. Part 2 might even be better then novels it covers. I know I watch it later but I really hope i will find some merch on this year con for this anime. Hopefully someday there will be part 3 as beautiful and well animated as first two. |

| Such an amzing Episodes thank you Toshimasa Ishii and A-1 Pictures |

| There's no better way to end an anime series Definition of perfect. We all know the story is going to end something like this, but what shines from this adaptation lies in the execution/ detail/ buildup/ music/ animation combined. The meeting could be as dry / tasteless as possible if the studio does not put care into this scene. It's as expected, A1 studio understands perfectly how to make a scene memorable, proven in previous episodes again and again from earlier episodes. This episode doesn't has any conflict/ twist /combat or anything yet it leaves a strong expression to everyone who watched the full series through and through. Tbh if the studio who's in charge of Summer Time Rendering has director as good as 86's director, they could have make the final episode reunion much more impactful/ memorable and transcend the series to greater height. Ironically FGO Babylonia's from Cloverwork, a division of A1 does not come close when it comes to all the key emotional scene. It has great combat scene an great artwork , but that's probably all it has. |

| With how many times they replayed "I'll never forget", she ends up forgetting what they looked like. Sure the photos were pretty old but I was kind of hoping to see some sign of recognition. |
 I have no idea how to fix signature so if you know I could use some help, thanks. |
