| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well...that was an intense finale. Between the battles, Ikta faces off against a worthy adversary imo. Or at the very core, the episode did a neat little job at portraying Ikta's cleverness even under distress. I like how his tactician mind always tries to keep ahead. For what's worth, I think the show was entertaining especially for a war story with some of the fantasy elements. Shame it's a 1-cour as I was hoping a 2-cour would be better. Is it also just me or did Yatori's face looks slightly awkward in the finale.. Lol the princess sure misses Ikta. 7/10 |
 |
| It's pretty much an open ending but that was expected. The episode it self could be better but i did think it was a nice ending so far i just hope we will get more of this in the future. For now we will have to do with this. |
| Felt like things got a bit too fast with the pacing at times, but I really enjoyed it overall. The final battle felt really lacking, while the other battles with him I felt some tension, imo. Even Ikta was surprised at the Princess' plan. 7.5/10 from me Season 2 when? May end up just trying to catch up on what little of the LN that seems to be translated |
    |
| I think this is one of the best series in summer season I like the strategy and the relationship between ikta and yatori I think it's stronger then love and friendship und I hope for 2. Season.I gave it 10/10 Becuse why not ;)) Actually My ratting of an anime depends on my enjoyment and how much I look forward to next episode but I can't continue a series when there are so many plot holes,And of course nothing is perfect but I don't shy from giving anime 10/10 when I like it ..... this is my first posting here I'll try to be more active thank you all |

| "Last Princess of the Empire" "Inevitable Defeat" It sure looks like our heroes are heading to a road of rainbows and unicorns...yeah, let's implant another country's values by losing the war. That will definitely sit well with the military and the citizens. >.> Chamille was always a naive person, but I'd never peg her to do something this drastic. Ikta continues to prove who is the better man in both the battlefield and philosophy. For all his military prowess, Jean ended up being a chesspiece of the slimy political machinations that goes on in the Kiokan Republic. Blind nationalism almost always leads to folly in the end. Too bad because I expected better from the Sleepless General. Maybe a few Zzz's would clear his head a little. While there was no real conclusion to the war, it did neatly tie up the arc's end. I honestly wish for an S2 of this. I wasn't expecting much out of this anime at first especially because of those out of place looking teletubbies (they still are.) but it more than makes up for it with smart tactics and strategies and a very cool MC. 7/10 |

| I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |
| Loved this anime, easily my favourite that started in this season. 10/10. |
| Watch Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, you wont be disappointed. http://q.pokefarm.org/user/Uran10 Check out My Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEz0PrV3Vh-ksW0mzOWnnSQ  |
| One of the most underrated anime this year. Season 2 when? |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Great finale, Intense episode as well. Very very strong negotiation on Ikta's part, He played all the right cards and based his decisions entirely based on Jean's personality and traits. The sniper bluff was amazing. Powerful scene between Ikta and Jean as the trees were being set on fire, Ikta pointing out that Jean's blind leadership, loyalty and heroism in all his battles and actions for his country were nothing more than manipulated puppetry wrapped with a hero banner. I'm so glad Safida's gonna be executed, Serves him right. xD Save the country by fighting a losing war or actually it's more like Lose the War to save the country. Whichever it is, That's a very intriguing way to go about a Revolution. The princess asks too much of Ikta. xD Should be really interesting to see how Ikta eventually pulls that off. Very nice post credit scene between Ikta and Yattori, In the end the only thing that drives Ikta is to protect the people around him, Nothing more nothing less. Overall, Great series, Nice character cast, Ikta in particular just gets more likable each episode. Loved how the show portrayed War, Strategy and Tactics and the grim outcomes of war. The diplomatic parts were great too, All this is only the beginning though, Would love to see how all these different sides of this power struggle in the world develop. 8/10 , We may not see a 2nd season for a long time but I hope we do get one some day. I'll try to pick up the LN if possible. |

| Eh pretty disappointed by the staff for this anime. I don't know why they included the talk after this battle instead of episode 4, most of the fights just included some still shit with narration. Maybe if it was 2-cour it could've been more memorable. oh well. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| I highly doubt that this will get a second season. But it was a good show, good finale, too. 7/10 |
| The finale was ok, but the skip from aiming the light at the Overworking guy to the placement of the firewood between them didn't make sense - he should have had plenty of opportunities to declare attack again because the beam would no longer be aimed at him |
 |
uzee said: The finale was ok, but the skip from aiming the light at the Overworking guy to the placement of the firewood between them didn't make sense - he should have had plenty of opportunities to declare attack again because the beam would no longer be aimed at him Their purpose was to retreat. Attacking him would lead them to being annihilated by the Alderamin reinforcements. Rewatch the episode. |
| I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |
| The ending with the princess was expected until she ordered him to actually lose a war. I didn't see that particular angle coming. At least now we'll know how him and Igsem will become enemies at some point. Most satisfying bit of the episode was Ikta defeating and thoroughly and comprehensively schooling white hair genius smug boy. The mortified look on his face was delicious. Zapredon said: One of the most underrated anime this year. Season 2 when? This. If something like Active Raid got a second season, my God please let a series with good characters, story, setting get one too. |

| Oh thank sweet merciful Christ that evil fuck Safida was executed. It certainly softens the blow of how I hated their reason for fighting, which really soured this arc for me. That cloud hung over every episode after the Ikta/Yatori flashback episode. I was actually rooting for Jean by the end because of it. Anyway, still a pretty strong series either way. Glad I watched it even after putting the manga on indefinite hold. That end tease of future events is certainly very interesting. Losing a war the correct way? Something about that princess bugs me...well anyway, I'll definitely watch season 2 if it comes. 8/10 |
| I absolutely loved this show. 8/10 A hope for season 2 remains, despite it probably not happening. Oh well, guess I'll have to read novels, if they're traslated. |
| Favorite show of the season. |
 |
| Solid ending all things considered. Does leave open a lot of possibilities though. 8/10 for the series as a whole, really surprised on how much I liked this series. |
| Great finale. Loved this episode. Personally favorite one. The ending with the princess reminded me of Japan. Like Katjrvana, WW2 Japan had a puppet imperial government. Japan lost the war but ended up being better politically with less authoritarian control and a economic powerhouse. Meanwhile it kept its unique culture. The exact thing Princess Chamille wants. Though WW2 Japan did not :P |
 |
| Great finale! In my top 5 for the season, and I feel it is very under-rated! Hope we get a second season some day, but even if we don't I felt this season was well done! 8/10! |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |

| I hoped they would reveal the princess' plan in a flashback since they had skipped it but it's ok.The mental battle between Ikta and Jean,during the negotiations was very good and I really love both characters' internal monologues.I enjoyed a lot this ride and let's hope for a 2nd season or at least an anime film in the future.8/10 |

| Loved this show, can't see it getting a second season which is a shame. very underrated 9/10 |
| Nice episode. For a while I thought about scoring it 9/10 but then again it is not that much better than GATE (which I scored 8/10). Needs a bit more time and more seasons to develop more plot. I am staying with 8/10 as final score. Hopefully there will be enough source material to make another 13 episodes soon. I want to see more of the enemy commander and more of the princess. After the talk with the princess it felt like this was only the beginning of something much bigger where there should be a lot more story for at least a few more seasons of anime. I'm wondering ... aren't there already a bit more novels released that could be made into another 13 episodes? I know 2-cour is getting uncommon nowadays but they could at least have made it split-cour and giving us more episodes next year. But I guess this happens only for stuff with ecchi/harem that attracts more customers. :D |
| The ending was alright. Obvious cliffhanger but I'm honestly fine with an ending like that, whether the story continues or not. shion16 said: This needs a second season. If they were to make a sequel, which I doubt, they would have to adapt the whole thing imho. The ending as it is was fine because it was kind of an interlude. Adding a sequel which ends somewhere in the middle of the story mentioned in the end of this episode would be a bad idea. That would be a NGNL level of ending. |

At least now we'll know how him and Igsem will become enemies at some point. Me neither, I was convinced that she was going ask him to marry her, into royalty and upon the throne. I do think both Ikta and Yatori are aware that ultimately they'll be at odds with eachother. Hence, he asks her to remember, and hence also the conversation of what would happen when she'd be asked to kill him. zcv45 said: The ending with the princess reminded me of Japan.

| I had originally disliked the anime up until episode 4. Not that the first 3 episodes were bad but just not impactful enough. Although as I continued to watch I ended up liking it. Sucks that we don't get more episodes. One of the gripes I had with the show was the character design, everyone has really similar faces. Still enjoyed it. So was what happened with the princess and MC the "event" that all the LN readers were talking about? Here's to hoping for a second season that we wont get... |
| I'm really looking forward for a second season. If this doesn't get one it would be a huge waste... |
| I'll fade away and classify myself as obsolete! Obsolete!! |
| And this ends my favourite anime of this season and one of the most for all I´ve seen. |
| Honestly I'm pleasantly surprised. I didn't really expect anything better than average from this anime but I gotta say that it's at least good. 7/10 |
 |
| Awesome anime, really hopes it gets a second season. 10/10 i still really hate the princess though lol, although i've hated her ever since i read the LN as well :D but a good ending as well |
 |
| It was a nice anime, a shame we won't probably get a second season. |
| Pretty solid ending, I didn't really care too much for this anime but I suppose it was one of the better shows of the summer. I'm not itching for a second season but I'd welcome one if it happens. 6/10. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| So Ikta pulls off one hell of a trick on Jean. I totally expected him to have his men hide among the straw and wood for a sneak attack to throw everyone off. And the negotiations were pretty cool. Ikta and his bluffs. Jean knew that Ikta was bluffing with the Remeon air rifle dude on stand by, but he wasn't 100% sure which is why he gave in to Ikta's demands and retreated allowing them to escape. And Safida gets executed for war crimes as the shitstorm up north is becoming a big pain in the ass now. And Chamille wants Ikta to rise to the top of the army and lose a war. She wants him to lose a war which can be wo. so that Kioka culture infiltrates them and then whatever happens and they fix the country. But Ikta doesn't give a damn about the empire and doesn't want to lose a battle which may very well result in Yatori having to come for his head. This was quite an intriguing show. The military tactics and stuff weren't as extravagant as I expected but were still quite fun and interesting to watch. The ending is only the beginning which is quite, well, expected. And especially after how Chamille made that request/order to Ikta, I'm really interested in finding out what Ikta's next move is – will he go along with the princess' plans or go against her? This wasn't Madhouse's flagship work and it had some issues with the visuals at times. It was a pretty good show but didn't come off as memorable in any way. Maybe later parts are more interesting but I'll never know unless this gets a sequel. |
| How can you set it to "completed"? For me it's still airing somehow. What's up with that? |
|
| Although i'd love to have another season of this, I don't really see it happening. It's going to suck not being able to look forward to this every week now. |
Burger-Meister said: Solid ending all things considered. Does leave open a lot of possibilities though. 8/10 for the series as a whole, really surprised on how much I liked this series. That's the point. Depending on the sales of the merch and LN's they might do a second season in 2017. Personally I really hope that happens, really enjoyed it a lot. The Light Novel is now at nr. 10. |
| First of all, I'll say I liked the conclusion to the conflict with the white haired genius. I haven't been impressed by many of the supposedly clever strategies from Ikta, but I liked the bluff of there being a sniper. Secondly, that last scene was really damn good and makes me very interested in seeing where the story will go from there onwards, especially considering how much a clash between Yatori and Ikta has been foreshadowed. About the anime, it's been an enjoyable ride tuning in every week to watch Ikta outsmart his opponents or just be the lazy ass he is, but sadly I think that was pretty much the only draw of the series. The war aspect lacked in depth for me to fully enjoy and the setting, which on paper is very interesting, was never really explored properly. The production values have also been disappointing and other than the mc, the rest of the cast was pretty lackluster. Still, Ikta carried the show pretty hard so I haven't been as annoyed with these issues as I would have been otherwise. 7/10 |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| I like deal in between Ikta and Princess. so next episode when? |
 |
| Not a bad finale. Just like 91 Days, this show's been an enjoyable ride, and was one of the better shows this season. A second season would be great. 8/10. |
  |
| Very good show; probably one of the best shows of the Summer season that wasn't talked about too much. Glad they adapted the ending from volume 1 at last so yeah. I head this show adapted the first 4 volumes of the LNs so who knows what happens next. That ending was basically telling the viewer to read the source even though this show should get a season 2. But...we got Studio Madhouse so ya know how they work; though OPM is getting a season 2 so who knows what the future may hold. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| 8/10 one of my favs this season. would like a second one, |
