| Adonis got his much needed power boost but damn, that looked almost as painful as he is powerful now. His enemy is still no pushover so this turned into one of the most intensive fight of the show. This fight kinda went as I had expected though and they manage to survive. Chloe also shows up for a brief moment in spirit so the anime didn't forget about her. This episode's title kinda explains for itself..love and revenge. |
 |
| Humanity seriously need to ditch the idea of sending just one person to take down these two. Under the enchantment of Doroka's love magic, Adonis transforms into the knight of the princess aka Doroka relentlessly cornering Shirousagi with overwhelming magical prowess and strength. Shirousagi is astonished as he witnesses a colossal spell containing a power that no ordinary human could withstand. It turns out to be the magical pact that Adonis and Chloe had once promised. Well, I have to admit, despite not really vibing with this show, that moment was pretty awesome. Seeing their connection make things happen and Doroka, whose magic used to be seen as gross, pulling off such a strong move is definitely going to boost her confidence. Moving forward, this girl needs to realize it's a tough world out there – it's either fight or be fought. Gotta keep that softer side in check. And about that Absolute Zero magic, wasn't that what Chloe was planning to use before everything went south? If it weren't for that device, the human kingdom would've been in serious trouble when she unleashed it. All this talk about the multiverse makes me think that Doroka might be the same queen, just in a different multiverse where she and Adonis were in love. Every time I watch this show, it feels like it's made by a teen who's recently embraced an 'edgy' phase, and, honestly, that doesn't bode well. |
 |
| With Doroka's Love Spell of Knightfall inflicting Adonis as a last resort, the fight against Shirousagi can finally weave its last. Adonis's burst of energy definitely caught Shirousagi off guard as he proceeds to break the cybernetic assassin, and as if he's going to give space to the one who defiled Doroka, the witch would support him as he turns into one of the most defiled power-heavy magic sequences: Absolute Zero, a spell so cold with a blizzard that spans its perimeter as much as Punch and his men can literally feel the pinch. And that spell, is something that Chloe taught him to only use it to protect his loved ones, like with Doroka. Thankfully, even after all that magic dispelled, Adonis is still beating his heart alive, as Shirousagi concedes defeat, hoping to find the Incarnation in another ensembleverse (which this is a reference to the author's earlier work: The Kingdoms of Caliburn). Wherever Dorothea goes, the entire Redia Empire simps for her, because of her Love Spell. And her next ambition, is to declare a war against other nations, which is a rather big feat. To Adonis, Doroka is the kind who is pure-hearted and will apologize for her actions that would displease the witch's apprentice, though he has also come to accept her overtime, and with that, they make their move to their next destination. The sakuga fest of the finale, delivered, and exceeded my expectations. Not that this show was ever good to begin with...but it definitely is a "so bad it's good" edgy type of show. |

| The half-assed-ness of everything from production to storytelling hampered the potential of this series. One that was built on interesting and solid worldbuilding foundation. The 2nd season needs to step up in everything, better animations, better story, be more depressing and double down on gore. make it supremely “edgy and deadly”.  |

 After all the chaos, the keychain is finally in the safe hand! |

| So, he could've used that crazy ice spell in the very beginning and wipe out intire city, but didn't because.. plot. Also, when he said it was his fault that girl lost her sight i almost choked. Dumb idiot hit that rabbit's leg instead of going for the kill because of her own naivety. Despite everything i think the show isn't so bad and had some promise, but that ending with implied different nations and world conflict is dead end. Just another shounen sludge that will drag on as long as author can make some money from it. |

There’s nothing official yet.
I mean, is the story 100% completed or there is a possible sequel to go
| @JaysonNnN Coming from manga. Nope, overall story, far from over. But that at least it concluded like a chapter, so you wont be left cliffhanger and force to go for manga/ln ... |
|
| What a boring anime, it managed to be worse than that shit Ragna Crimson lol. The worst part of all is that I was really enjoying until the part about the witches in space, but after that, when it was just the two of them, the story went downhill, with Adonis acting like a badass without being so and the annoying girl being annoying (but how she's cute, I have to like her), not to mention the stupid slapstick humor they put in the middle of the story and this love spell that was a hell of a deus ex-machina. I wanted to like this anime because I liked the theme, but I didn't... Well, screw it too lol. |
 |
| Damn, my fave show of the season is officially over 😢 felt like we just got started on Doroka and Adonis journey, not to mention the queen on the verge of declaring war. Lot of set up for things to come that we’ll likely never see in anime form, so onto the manga. Epic conclusion to the Adonis v Usagi fight. Really shows the terrifying the nature of Love magic. That ice spell didn’t just affect the immediate area of the fight, but the country as a whole. Pretty crazy what Doroka is capable of. And I doubt she’s anywhere close to maxing out her abilities. Can’t say I felt any type of sympathy for Usagi at the end there. Gleefully killed people and was a sadistic fuck, not to mention gouging Doroka eyes out, so fuck em. He did mention some interesting stuff, though. Talked about this ensembleverse like he was Kang or some shit multiple times. Also brought up the “incarnation”. Said Doroka and Adonis reminded him of the queen and “him” I was confused about it so I did a little research and it turns out this is actually the sequel to a manga that came out a while ago. Kind of weird to adapt the sequel, but not the original story, oh well lol Dorothea is one of the most bizarre characters ever, just causally goes for a jog while listening to her own music, relishes everyone staring at her and then comes back to the castle give the world an ultimatum. We did get a cool look at the other countries in this world during that time. The single mother kingdom in particular made me go wtf, very interesting world this one. Lot of people set to come after Adonis and Doroka now. Of course you’ve got the queen, white haired dude, girl who hopped out of the bacta tank I’m assuming is the first guy Adonis killed in episode 2’s sister? Can’t remember. But a lot of cool plot stuff I’m excited to read about. On the relationship end of things, Doroka and Adonis have grown a lot closer after this sense death experience. The way Adonis talks to her is much softer and more compassionate. He realises she’s not just saying shit for the sake of it and is genuinely a very kind person, reminding him a lot of Chloe. Speaking of Chloe, was that actually her spirit that came down and hugged Adonis? Very sweet scene Adonis claims the love spell didn’t have any effect on him, but idk, he’s got the tsundere act down pact for Doroka. He definitely really cares about her. Very cute handholding at the end! Hopefully they can find a fix for her eyes soon. In the meantime, they’ll have to literally walk side by side as they deal with whatever the future holds. She understands his revenge now and he understands her love. |

to summarize this anime. |
| he jobbed so hard, "durr, I would have lost without your love spells!1!" meanwhile all of the flying hands are literally made of wet toilet paper. Also, he used the world's slowest spell at the end there, it literally took over half the episode for the dude to finally die, when he could have diced him with the blade spell earlier. This show went from HOLY EDGE to boring to EDGE to boring again really quick. No way in hell this gets an S2 |
| What started off as something interesting fell off big time... though it was still kinda fun to watch. I don't think there is any salvaging the story though. 5/10 |
 |
| Finally this unmitigated disaster is over. Hopefully my lost brain cells can begin to return over the christmas holidays. Merry Christmas to all <3 |
 If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ Let him be accursed O Lord, Amen! |
| At least it had it's moments and theme songs I vibed with, but I can't really say that this was a genuinely good watch. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| ...single mother nation? really? this show keeps getting sillier and it ruins the vibe it started off with (which i preferred to whatever this is). anyways, it looks like their relationship is improving which is nice. the queen...is something else. idk what else to say except that she's perplexing. |
 |
| These all are nice and honest opnions and all...but the REAL question I wanna know the answer to is, does she ever get her sight back? I mean with magic and such, its not impossible for her to get it back someway? No proper spoiler is needed just a yes/no answer |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| lol she fked his mind up with the love spell that was supposed to be removed in the end |
 |
| didn't want this as my 1,800th completion, but i guess i have to take that L but different enough of a show to still be interesting lol |
 |
| he's not giving her eye sight back? Thought that would have been taken care of in the finale. If Doroka didn't have Ideals and a back bone the show would have been fairly decent. |

| I hope we get a second season with that ending. I honestly loved this show. One of my favorite animes of the season. |
 |
| Well, this was just terrible, nothing to say more about this series, except maybe the first two episodes where the show really looked promising. Johan said: Finally this unmitigated disaster is over. Hopefully my lost brain cells can begin to return over the christmas holidays. I'm sad it's over only because it means your war in discussions vs Marinate1016 is over too😢, loved reading it. |
 |
| Eh, I thought this series started on a promising note but then went downhill in the 2nd half. It felt somewhat random and ambiguous, for example why did Adonis freeze up that city and region that he was in? I think he would've defeated Shirousagi without that. On that note the love spell gave him super saiyan-type power for some reason, I guess that's part of Doroka's ability? Also seeing the queen jogging in public without security was really strange and risky. Then there's Yuki's who is back after I thought she died and now she's apparently seeking vengeance for her deceased brother, ok then. Lastly there's some strange sounding kingdoms like a single-mother type lol. 6/10 |
| what the fuck was that show lol. second worst show of the season (only behind ojou to banken-kun) finally comes to an end and to think there was a time when i was interested in watching this after the announcement😂. it was terrible from start and the only consolation having made it this far is that doroka is alive, but after all she went through, losing her sight and all- 2/10 if i'm being nice. |
 |
| A "good enough" final episode... decent fight, some closure.. maybe a hint at another season its just a shame, i remember the manga had me hyped, but the anime was slightly disappointing.. oh well. |
  |
| This anime had some intriguing ideas, but I can’t say I enjoyed the execution all that much. Episode 6 onward felt like an entirely different show that didn’t really appeal to most people; people who liked the edginess don’t want to sit through a buddy-comedylike for episodes straight and the people who prefer more story driven anime can’t really enjoy the world building because the characters feel disjointed (or, at its worst, contradictory) when paired with the first set of episodes. The nicest thing I can say is that the backgrounds in this show were gorgeous (in particular I liked the main city and the abandoned, overgrown town at the end) and the anime’s choice in colors complimented its nihilistic tone. Better to be bad than boring, I suppose. |
| Do you think we could pull the trusty R-word out of retirement for this show?!? |
      |
| Finally finished this series...! I think this episode is better than the previous episodes but the slow down moments need fixing imo. The cyborg guy was flying slowly and MC is just jumping around on his Cyborg's hands in a normal speed... that's... dragging it too far, as always. If they did that without the perfect bgm for it, it's rather annoying. Anyway, I would give around 7 because I finally got to see something more unique than the rest we usually get but most importantly, the heroine has character, and a lovely one at that. 😏 |

| 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. |
| I nominate this for the disappointment of the year award. The thing that pisses me off the most is that the first couple of episodes were actually quite good, so I didn't drop the show thinking it would eventually get back on track. I've never been so wrong in my life. To sum up the whole show:  |
| Some interesting world building gets ruined by a story that's all over the place and a serious bunch of unlikeable characters (Doroka and Chloe were really the only ones one could root for). I'd hoped for more and didn't get it unfortunately. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Finally mid is over (only watched till the end Bc I wanted to see it animated after reading) |
| Whoa Adonis got all that super strength and super magic from Doroka's love magic, while I think it's too much to use such huge scale magic just to kill one little fucker but at least he is gone and Dorothea seems like she is starting a war with other countries.. Not sure if she is desperate or if this is part of her plan. And finally it ended with Adonis and Doroka continuing their journey and finding a way to get her eyesight back Overall the ending is just okay but it is disappointing that the anime did not meet up expectation |

| Man, these fight scenes are hilariously ass. The sound design is garbage too. I could not stop laughing at 3:10 because whatever the hell that sound was when he got tossed did not fit whatsoever. The only somewhat good thing about this anime was the narrative. |
