| Nezumi wanting to forget makes perfect sense. He experienced death 99 times and can't forget it. That's way too heavy for a teenager to experiences, especially since he got to know all of the other juuni taisen people on a personal level. Then he experienced more death when he wanted to escape. Having the wish and trying to figure out which one to do, when you didn't have any drive to begin with is hard. Forgetting, which is something he can't do, is the one that makes perfect sense for him. I liked it. And I liked the show overall. It was predictable, but once Dog died most figured out that Rat would win in the end. I do think the show billed itself a bit badly though, because they made it seem like it was a death game with tons of action, when it's really a character drama about the twelve people who have to fight in this tournament. 8/10 for me. |
°˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° |
| Great episode, we saw a little bit of the other routes, the wishes of the other participants, knew more about Nezumis power and I understand why he wished that, but it was still underwhelming. |
| That's actually a nice lesson for everyone. maybe its nice to have a wish, or a couple of wish wanting to be granted.. But in the end, we just want to laze around and not give a damn about everything. =_= （>﹏<） |
| I liked the ending. It may not been the most spectacular, happy (for the viewers) or even satisfactory (again, for us) ending, but it was in Rat's character, and that is fine. He is a normal individual without ambitions, and the burden of having to experience dying 99 times is something above him. Tbh, it was the best thing he could have wished for, instead in some superfluous wish. I loved how Rat's monologue started to analyze all the wishes he could wish for (including the thing of reviving the other participants of the Juuni Taisen), just to realize the most of them are worthless, impractical or just plain dumb, and wish the thing who would truly bring him his happiness. Liked too how we saw brief glimpses of the other 99 routes where Rat teamed up with the other warriors (thing who had made me like Dog more, considering he ended being more sympathethic of what he looked at first), including the one when he hanged out with Rabbit. I cannot help but feel a bit of pity for Boar, since her wish probably indicates she feels very lonely. And, lmao, the Tatsumi brothers were still rekted hard in their routes xD I'm going to miss this show a lot. Even if the execution and fights could have been better, and is the weakest work of Nisio so far, it was one of the series I enjoyed and liked the most this Fall, and following this anime (and the daily dose of salt and complaints) week by week was great. I hope the studio animates the second novel one day, I really want to see how Nisio's mind designed the Western Zodiac. |

| While the ending was underwhelming to many people, it's kind of understandable seeing Nezumi's character... He's just a kid that doesn't know what to do with his life and is overwhelmed by the amount of power and responsabilities that he has all of a sudden. A character that he kinda reminds me of in that aspect is THE anxty teen himself: the man, the meme, the legend, Shinji Ikari. However, I feel like I kinda needed more time with him to understand the way that he thinks. And I think that's the main problem of this anime. While it does have some very strong characters, the 20 minutes that every episode has to dedicate to the character that they focus on feel too short to relate well to any of them and justify their actions a bit better. And that's a shame, knowing that NisioisiN is the guy who wrote this. Also we got no backstory on Rabbit for some reason, but seeing his powers and how he seemed honest about his wish maybe he was just lonely, who knows. And while the 3d in the last battles was eeehh they did present some interesting situations, even when we knew how it was going to end, but then again, the point of this show is to turn every episode into a character study of it's protagonist, not to see what kind of OP superpower can beat what and win. Now that that's out of the way, I have to say that most of Juuni Taisen's characters like Tora, Sharyu, the Snake-Dragon pair and now Nezumi were surprisingly three-dimensional, and one can easily find himself agreeing with their philosophies, but I expected a bit more from the writer of the Monogatari series. Overall, an enjoyable show that sadly doesn't use it's assets to their fullest potential but is saved by it's intersting characters, unlike a certain other show I'll talk about next monday. 7/10 |

| ok the wish was so stupid..I get why he won....and That wish seemed so stupid to me...he could wish for so many things and he wished for his memory erased. |
 |
| How utterly pointless of an ending, I guess its meant to be dramatic or a bold statement of the futility of having a wish granted, but thats just pathetically false. |
| Cool ending but was expecting something more mind-blowing. I liked the show but felt it had a lot more potential. My mine gripe was that I just didn't like that Usagi ended up killing and controlling half the characters. It would have been much more interesting if they would have offed him earlier. This format could easily be used to create second season with new characters. I'm sure I'd watch it. |
Ya-Shiro said: Wait, did i just forget about it or did they never show rabbit's past? Did they just skip it in the anime or was it never mentioned in the novel either? Also i didn't expect Nezumi's hair to be like that XD Rabbit didn't have a backstory in the anime nor the novel - bit disappointing, but guess it's a way to show that Rabbit doesn't care about the past |
| pretty good episode, Nezumi whole monologue about his wish and all the flashbacks of his past and different juuni taisen routes are pretty interesting too. the series start good and then flop hard mid way with anti climatic fights and boring backstory and then good again when Nezumi appeared last week pretty good 7/10 overall I NEED MORE SEXY BOAR!!!! |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| I didn't think this show was bad but I've always had a thing for these battle royale type of shows and I liked seeing all the backstories. I wish the twins could have lived though, they were my faves. 6/10 |
| This show started off so well but just lost steam as it progressed. And it ended on a whimper. |

| Giving this a 4/10. This show was pretty bad. |
| I really had a great time watching this. |

| It was an eeeh ok show, I liked it, but just that. I'm the only one that thinks of a wish about "ending the Juuni Taisen for ever" could have been the best wish for the rat? |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Worst ending and Worst anime In 2017 for me. I fucking hate Nezumi stupid brat should have die. He should have bring back those Who are Force Into It or Those who are genuive good. He should have Bring back Ushii,Sharyuu,Tiger, Tora,Dokatsu and Chicken. But no!!!!! Waste his Wish for one Stupid wish. Nezumi Worst anime characters In 2017. I wish this loser die first instead of the others. |
| his actual hair was so weird lol. But dam what happens to the Dog's adopted daughter ;-; |
| Good ending, I like how it incorporated Nezumi's story backstory and used his power to revisit all of the deceased characters. It kind of made me want to see a special that would feature each of the 11 other characters' potential victories. |
 |
| it was good to see all the participants again, we learned something new about each of them. lmao Boar wanted a harem.. also loved the moments with Rat dying on the battlefield, he's really lucky to have found that one route where he doesn't get killed because he would never have won with his skills. the scene with the 99 wishes was nice, Rat's points were pretty accurate. in fact I relate to him, it's hard to choose one thing that would have no bad consequences, though the ending itself was pretty underwhelming. when he was sleeping peacefully it made me think that he was the protagonist all along but it didn't feel like that. gonna miss this show :( it was predictable alright but somehow so enjoyable. |
| Rat's ability was a curse for him in the end, yet he managed to find the best wish for him to be happy. I think, he can definitely make it big in the world if he actually tries something (he is very fucking smart) but if that's the way he wants to go and he is good with it, so be it. 7/10, entertaining show, nothing memorable though. |
| Probably one of the better episode of the show. His monologues were pretty interesting. Struggled thru an entire day and arrived at his answer. Overall, there were plenty of problems I have for this series. The spoilers of the order of elimination in the OP and ED destroyed the gimmick of the show (no main character that the viewers follow -> unpredictable outcome in fights). The reasons for downfall of most heroes are repetitive (letting their guard down). The animation quality dropped immensely in latter half of the series. No backstory for Rabbit (the biggest threat of the series). The only decent thing I could think of is the Tiger & Ox relationships. Overall: 4/10 |
| Pretty interesting episode,seeing Rat struggle to came up with a wish and portraying it in that manner was not really what I was expecting as a final when I picked up this show,but it fulfilled it's purpose,even tho his wish was indeed a disappointment. Nice show overall, fresh concept,execution was lacking,tho. 6/10 |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Pfft I skipped to the end, what is this worthless character =/ |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| I expected this type of ending, and i enjoyed it nonetheless. 7/10 |
| The Anime Binge Is Life -PolarCyrus97 2k17- |
| I never really understood why anyone would wish to forget, it's like annihilating yourself. |
| Best episode, but still an underwhelming ending. I think Juuni Taisen's strongest points are the way it portrays its characters and their backstories, as well as the philosophical ideas that it touches upon. But ultimately it leaves you feeling empty and wondering "what the heck was point of all that?". There's just not enough in here to make this a worthwhile watch imo. It's a 6 or a 7 for me. |
Illyricus said: my amigo illy solid synopsis i agree as well but also a few points man so if the 2nd novel gets announced i wonder if a new studio would handle it, so did nisio like watch over this project and oversee everything say such as for example a george rr martin would with early seasons of GOT? or did they just sign a contract with him and went about adapting it how they see fit? when another adaptation comes from nisio best believe ill be watching , this hasn't become one of my fav works from nisio (potentially could have) but alas theres always the future to look ahead toI liked the ending.

| It nice that we got glimpses of the other routes. I feel bad for Rat for having to experience death 99 times and his wish to forget about the Juuni Taisen makes sense. I never cared about Dog but this episode made me like him. Overall, it was an enjoyable show. 7/10. |
 |
| Am I the only one who wasn't a big fan of Rat? Pretty much a useless Overpowered character from the start till the end. His wish was to forget ... okay so what was the point of this show? what was the point of the character development? if in the end the winner wishes to forget about every single thing that happened? makes a lot of sense Mediocre show 5/10, Would not recommend it to anyone because it was a waste of time. Decided to give it a 5 due to the fact that some characters like Monkey, Tiger, Ox were interesting, would have loved to see more of Tiger and Ox. |
Tokoya said: His wish was underwhelming....Like really underwhelming but at least the kid is happy it seems, so more power to him However, I liked that we got to fully get glimpses into all the paths that he's experienced, as well as getting the chance to see what everyone else's wishes were as well as learning all 100 of the wishes that Nezumi himself would have wanted (It was pretty cool to see him analyze it all and talk about the pros and cons of them all) I died when I saw that Boar's wish was pretty much to get the D (I mean, I don't need some magical force to make me do that huehuehuehue) but I think Dog's wish was my favorite because I didn't expect that at all and it was sweet Overall, to me this was a pretty enjoyable series despite it's flaws and I wouldn't mind seeing the sequel to this getting animated either 7/10 Is the manga still running? I was wondering if the manga was worth it to read. Thanks! |
 |
| Started really fun but with times it became pretty underwhelming. Not sure if i should give it a 5 or a 6. |
 |
| lel to think i wasted 5-6 hours of my life on this trash oh well (it did have some cool characters though, both personality and design wise so it's not a 100% regret) |
| Meh finale. The show had a decent start, but it went downhill for me as it went on, unfortunately. Oh well. 6/10. |
