| Incredible conclusion to Novak and Draka’s characters. Fantastic episode as usual. Can’t wait to see how this ends |
| Oh man, it hit emotionally when Nowak started to pray for his daugther Jolanta and the reappearance of Rafaล, aswell as it is clear that Nowak realised whom was the leader, Draka realising what Schmidt meant by praising the sunrise... And most importantly, Kingdom of Poland confirmed, not some random P. acronyms. Edit: O hell nah, I am seeing the character staff and the last name of Albert [He's the real historical person]. I already know where the plot will be going, cause I know a little bit about him from history lectures x) |

@ElRentornoDeYo Didn't imagine that there would be manga readers for this anime since it kinda just came outta nowhere, just like how Dandadan suddenly dropped, but okay, imma heighten my expectations a bit, just for you, Mr. Rentorno.

dandadan didn't suddenly drop it was mad popular even before the anime and was highly anticipated.
| @Dami-Echertal I know MANY friends who thought the same as i, it wasn't just me. Maybe you're either a manga reader or have manga reader friends, so you knew, however, Dandadan wasn't like Chainsaw Man for me, since i heard about Chainsaw Man long before it dropped, although i never read it, but that's how popular it was, however, that wasn't the case for Dandadan with me, so yeah. |
| I wonder who the guy is. Probably whoever received the dove? Not sure how I feel about Draka landing a fatal hit on THE Novak, but I was positively surprised that both him AND her died. And it was kinda nice to see how both found peace in the end, despite having different believes. When they were talking about replacing god with money, though, I didn't know who to root for anymore, lol. Capitalism is the root of so much evil today, we might have been better off with god. The clown-award goes to Antoni, though. Last week I was like "disappointing how easily Novak let himself get persuaded by mere words". And this week showed that it, indeed, would have been out of character for him to falter that easily. Antoni was WAY too assured of his safety, wow. |
| If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you. |
| They need to stop cutting onions before all the sad episodes. I can't stop crying if these onions are getting sliced ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ All I can say is how beautiful it is to portray a father's love for their children. Even with the gates of hell raging at his feet. Novak still finds a way to seek forgiveness for his daughters sin. It really strikes a chord how his whole world was shattered. Just to realize his whole life purpose was ultimately meaningless. The suffering, pain and agony he put people through... Enduring the screams of the innocent for years on end just to hear " it was for nothing." Is fate worse than death at the very least he got a " happy ending" given one last chance to hold his littles girl hand once more. All in all, I can't help but enjoy the series. The philosophy, storytelling and characters are all dense yet all point to the stars of how precious life can be. In a world of crippling struggles or heartache. ๐ฅฒ Big shout to the guy who wrote this master piece ๐ |

| Unfortunately Draka was the only one who died without being able to even pursue anything she wanted to do |
| Oh the end game is near now. |
| Damn, we lost both Nowak and Draka in the same episode. |
 |
| the ending sequence was confusing if they do a unrelated story and say the first 20 episodes were completely irrelevant i will literally rate orb 1/10 the last few episodes have been completely missing the mark for me |
 |
This anime every literally two episodes: Well... this one was a punch to the face... again. It really seems ridiculous how literally every single fucking protagonist gets killed, and this time it was not only beautiful to see them die (that was superb animation), but also it finally did hit me emotionally a little bit. |
 |
| Nowak realizes everything underneath the fire, and a sunrise ends it all... I don't think there's really a doubt that this was the best episode of the series, as this pay-off was everything I could asked for, as painful as it was to watch. Nowak's last talk with Rafal really made this story go full circle, right from where things began with this whole conflict against heliocentrism. Nowak went out with no regrets, and maybe he can be with Jolenta in the afterlife, but it was such a beautiful way to finish this up. Draka as well, seeing the sunrise that she has hated so much, but smiling as she saw it in the end, that was the perfect way to end off her story as well. Now, the epilogue begins, and admittedly, I don't have many expectations for it, but this anime has done all it's had to do for it to cement itself as likely one of, if not the best things I will see this year. Truly, a special anime for the ages. |
| I loved the message of this episode about the passage of time and being confined to a particular time in history. That pained me to see Nowak to face his pain in his last moments from his convictions to his dead daughter. They say a person facing their death show their true selves and Nowak is another in a long line of examples from this show. However, can we stop killing Main Characters from here on out?! I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!! |
| Applause... I applaud... this episode was really great. I swear. Nowak not only killed the bishop but also burned down the church!! He also tried to kill Draka but getting stabbed then "talking" to Rafal at the moment of his death???? I'm speechless. The conversation between Rafal and Nowak was impressive, especially when Rafal said that eventually people from the past and future will see all of them in that time as people from the 15th century.... and when Nowak realized that he was the antagonist here... The highlight was when he finally found out that Jolenta lived that long too!!! I want to cry. T___T Now everyone is dead... but we get the final main character for the next two episodes. If we include this episode, then he only appears for three episodes... but Rafal also only appears in the first three episodes... so, will this new and final MC have as much impact as Rafal? Hopefully. Looking forward to it! |

| Extremely executive "dogs" of regimes will always be on the dustbin of history, because far-fetched ideas and values are easily replaced by others by the power elite for the sake of stability of power. Too zealous followers only prevent the important uncles from holding on to power, at least remember the current reality with jingoists on both sides, unwilling to embrace peace. But peace will surely come, and they will get Novak's fate. |
| Even illusion Rafal is still a goat. I'm so happy we see him one final time and I can't believe his final appearance was in the OP all this time. Rafal's impact on Nowak (on us the audience as well) was so big that in his final moments he conjured up an illusion of him to talk to. Nowak, the villain you are, fucking amazing. We've been with him from beginning to end, you could say he's actually the true main character of the show, but we know who it really is and it's one orby boy. Fuck man, I thought Draka was at least going to live long, but my God, her finally praising the sun in her final moments is peak writing, Schmidt is smiling somewhere with his beautiful mustache. I wonder what the last 2 episodes has in store for us cause I genuinely do not know. We're not in the Kingdom of P anymore, we're in legit Poland. Oh and well, Rest In Piss Antoni, I guess. |

| Every single word spoken in these 20 minutes are words to live by. I'm glad the anime did justice to the manga by making it even better. |
When Orb kills yet another MC |
| the gut punches don't stop huh? a heavy show for the soul... |
 |
| Wow. Just the climax of the whole show. It's like nothing happened, but everything happened at the same time. Confession, acceptance, fear, joy. If you're still wondering if it's worth watching, it's a definite yes. |
| What a powerful episode, especially Nowak's compelling final moments. Kenjirou Tsuda's performance throughout the series was great. But his work as Nowak in his final scene was mesmerizing. I was disgusted by his character. I was also deeply unsatisfied with the resolution of Jolenta's reunion, but the dialogue with Rafal wrapped his whole arc beautifully. I still hate him, everything he stood for and the lengths he went to were repulsive. That said, he was a well-written character. The contrast between how easily he stabbed Draka and how he felt Rafal's pain showcased how he finally was honest with himself. He finally acknowledged himself as a villain. I was wondering if he realized that was his daughter when he had a glance at Jolenta. I got my answer. Of the characters carrying the word of heliocentrism, Draka was definitely my least favorite. Her last scene of coming full circle embracing Schmidt's beliefs, most likely not as her own, was mindfully gratifying. What a gorgeous, exceptionally crafted episode. |
