Amanda x Malek ending rofl. That whole spirit stuff, coming back, possessing is confusing as hell but it probably has to do with the blassreiter stuff and technology. The ending really pulled it down for me plus everyone dying, would of liked it more if they stopped before the time skip. Wouldn't have expected any of this from just watching the first eps, CG was pretty cool, overall it was okay. 7/10

I'm surprised they killed over 90% of the cast...

I kept thinking "they wont kill him/her because they are to important or hold enough value" and they kept failing me again and again and again. I guess props to that but I wanted a happier ending like joseph surviving because he had been suffering so much. :(

I will agree that the first half was very good and it got worse and worse, and wierder after time, although since I watched it decently fast and all in one go it was alright. Not sure how it would of wokred watching ep after ep, like linebarrel right now.. can't keep with it to stupid...

I guess while there are series that are being to darn slow and wont move on and have countless seasons, there are still ones that are to fast and dont think through, which I rather watch this bc watching eps for 3 strait years and could have been done in half a year is not enjoyable.. its just plain pointless.

Wtf @ ending. They should've skipped the ghost connection, that would have made it much better.

And DOH, Snow was there among the ghosts, means she died. Frick, she was my favorite. Way to go to introduce a two episode character only to kill her ~~

Barely a 7/10.

EDIT: Screw it, I'm still mad about the ghost ending, and the flippin ghost possessing during Xargin fight. 6/10.

ye the ghost possessing during xargin fight was gay

and bitch malek shoulda died....

i actually liked how alot died cause they were good deaths but pretty much pointless when they came back as holograms that retained their memories

the action was good, i love that whole ship/mecha dodging missiles like crazy etc thing, the blassreiters/amalgams looked ok, i did like how they did the sword fights

the only thing i didnt like about the cg is that the paladins looked dumb

id give it a 9/10 if i dont think about the ending and gay malek living

It was very-very good.. until that f*cking ridiculous last minutes of The Final Fight! OMG, it was so stupid!
Though, I've rated it 8/10. If it hasn't so idiotic ending, I'd even give it 8.5/10, 'cause EVERYTHING is very-very good... except that Final Bullsh*t. The biggest final-episode-disappointment ever.

wtf kind of ending was that? Originally this series was 9/10, then it started to change towards the middle-end, 8/10. The final 10 minutes of the episode killed it for me...7/10.

WAY TOO CORNY. WTH was with the "ghost" (/holograms) coming out of nowhere at the end? And them possessing Joseph's body...lol that was so weird. What was also strange was suddenly after Herman losses Joseph seemed to have a godly power level of 9000!!!! He had some weird shield that deflected all of Xargin's attacks, and moved at what seemed light speed. The suddenly 10 seconds later it was all gone and he lost anyways, lol. Wtf?

And after ALL OF WHAT XARGIN DID, they kill him off, just like that? How strong was that guy anyways? Weird weird ending.

The hologram ghost at the end made it just too corny/weird for me, epically the "Amanda x Malek ending", hahaha, incest ftw?

I do respect them for being original in how they presented it, and as everyone ELSE has said , killing off characters without fear. Though I think they went a bit TOO FAR, they killed 95% of the cast off. That's a bit extreme...and we never got a kiss. (Though an incest pair ending, lol).

Idk...the ghost, possessing, Joseph losing at power level 9000 then Xargin God (power) losing to a pill...and was totally kool with it! Just all nonchalant about it, even after so many years & so many deaths, and his plan to change the world, lol. And now we have the "lets protected the discriminated against Algams that we've been killing off forever!" was just all so strange.

Edit: lol it was also funny how that black head guy of XAT apologized at the end, rofl. Also what was with people NEVER being able to tell other's what they wanted to in their heart, even after death ,lol. Joseph's sister didn't get to say her good bye's/I'm sorry to him. Herman never got to say " I love you" to Amanda. And a few other things...and poor Snow died!

Hm, this anime turned out to be way better than I thought it would be after watching first few episodes. Ugly CGI, though. 7/10 is my score, and for me, it's quite high.
I kinda liked that so many characters died in the show's run, so I expected for most of the cast to bite it in the finale. Although I'm still sad about Joseph, he really deserved a happy ending. Yeah, the thing with Gerd and Hermann was pretty much an asspull, and overall I wasn't very impressed with the fight. Still, the end is the end, at least it gives a closure without some forced ambiguity (I think it's pretty clear that characters Elea/Maria show in the epilogue are just holograms, not actual people). Also, it's really weird that people see some MalekxAmanda scenes as romantic. I don't know if we were watching the same ep, I didn't notice anything like this in their interaction.

Wtf? They killed almost main characters. But... they alive? O_o
Certainly I'm glad that Sasha, Snow and Joseph didn't die completely, but it's too corny. Also I'm disappointed that Snow has appeared only for two episodes and then died. I hoped for Joseph x Snow ending... Ok, when Snow was died I think that will be Joseph x Amanda ending. Double fail... I have Amanda x Malek ending :(
And I really hate Gonzo's CGI. Why they put it in every second series? (

On the other hand I like story line. It's simple and pretty interesting. And Elea was awesome. I like her voice ~_~

7/10 for me.

i hate it. This really isn't a good ending.

There are too much unnecessary deaths, and why does the weak gets to live? Instead of the strong? There are also many mysteries unsolved( i bet you could think of one without me telling :D )

i rated it 5 ( Currently, the lowest score i gave )

the anime was cool :D i really like how they switch different characters in each episodes. you get to see how they suffer and they're past sins as well. one of the most epic scene is probably Al's comeback who would have thought even death he still hates wolf though in the end wolf regretted what he did. they only thing i hate about is probably the end. i mean Xargin was unstoppable and they just killed him with isis. guess joseph can't win on a one on one match against xargin and what's up with xargin showing up at the end with the group i thought he hated everybody in the group i guess he regretted what he had done. anyways still a great anime glad i finish it till the end :D

Wow, haha. That was quite an interesting anime we had here. Like, everyone died, some even did like 3 times. (lolwut) Probs for killing off most main characters, that certainly was interesting. I thought it was a bit much to kill off Joseph. (his background was just way too sad already, but oh well..)

The hologram was just... lame? =/

I enjoyed watching it though, therefore 8/10.

The best things about this anime are the collection of Amalgams, mechas and ... US Force ^^ Never saw B2 and F22 Raptor in anime before >< Plus the ICBM Mach 23 was pretty cool
Give this anime 8/10 just because of art style. Obvious ending, everything must come to an end especially Amalgams/Demoniacs.

Personally, Blassreiter is pretty entertaining just because the fight scenes were pretty amazing. However, I'm still pissed at how the writers just threw in Snow for like 1 episode and then discarded her.

Amazing series. I haven't seen a series with a "Kill 'em All " attitude since Zeta.

Personally, the whole level of drama was perfect, as well with the theme discrimination, suicide, sex, and who's really wrong? (ie is Xargin really a villain for wanting to change the world.)

The ending was, as some say, corny. I would have been satisfied if only Joseph and Herman would have come back. But eh, Beatrice and Xargin action's killed many innocent people but they were "brought back to life" to me that lowered the score from 10 to 9.5.

overall good series.

this ep was another example of the powers that be not being able to end an anime series properly. After all that, the satisfaction level was primarily lacking. The series itself was balls to the wall amazing, but the ending was kind of rushed. I gave it a 9/10. Certainly buy it on Blue-ray when available.

Great Show! also as mentioned by some before me, this has been a rarity in the sense that they actually killed some people off (well all of them lol but you get my point) unlike other shows where you know the main guy is untouchable and somehow he will pull through no matter what, so it was a change of pace. As for what i thought of the end, i liked the episode i actually did, i liked how Joseph died (as i did many others, they made their deaths... acceptable in a way, like going out with honor) but like others i thought the holograms were a bit lame, and Malek was a fail replacement of Joseph so dressing like him in the end was lame... but besides that solid story, with nice meaning behind it all. a solid 8/10 or 9/10 for me

Sucks that everybody died, but it was nice seeing them all again at the end. Except for that bastard Wolf. It's his fault that the XAT got wiped out!! "Please forgive me." He said. I think, NOT!!

Man, this anime had a hell lot of potential and yet it managed to trash it with pointless CGs and characters randomly dying. I feel like someone wrote a 70 episodes long script and then the studio decided to make a 24 episode anime out of it.

The characters were all done great, yet none of them had any chance to actually shine. The story starts with Gerd as the protagonist, then switches to another character who's got more personality and is more involved with the story than some random guy getting infected. That's a sign of complex story telling, yet the anime fails to tell any story at all because it's practically filled with CGs of Mecha fighting weird creatures who can fuse with vehicles, but for some reason don't use their ability in the majority of episodes. The fact that Snow was randomly introduced out of nowhere and in the end appeared among the dead, makes me think that there was originally some plot behind it that was cut off in the final production. I say if this anime had a chance for developing the story it could have been much, much better. I also feel like the ending was kinda out of place, a last moment kinda thing: If we go by Blassreiter's logic, either all the blassreiters should have died in the end (including Malek) which would have made sense, or we could see them coming back to life again using nano-technology. (They DID come back many times, after all most characters died multiple times in this show)

My favorite part was Joseph's backstory, it actually surfaced my feelings. :)

Overall score: 7/10

@Fatentity: I agree with everything you said.

While I totally didn't liked this anime the ending was pretty decent for what its worth.

^Hahaha.. have to agree. I wish she had more screen time.

I guess many feel the same.. the premise was really good. The story was great at least until everything goes berserk.. everything went crazy after the first half. Sure wasn't expecting things to turn out like this.. and suddenly at the end everyone came back as hologram like ghost..? awkward. Of course some of the deaths are awesome and epic.. but a lot of them makes no sense or logic. They just did whatever convenient to them. How Snow died was like what the heck.. the rest had limbs torn apart but still survive like mosquito bites but she died by just a few punches ? Bullshit. I wouldn't want to go into detail how stupid some of the things that happened were.. in the end what's the conclusion from everything that happened anyway ? The few things I enjoyed was badass Joseph and loli Elea.. and some of the memorable epic deaths. Snow never should have died ! If it's the concept it's not bad but the story just isn't my cup of tea.. leaves a bad aftertaste. Overall it's fine I guess.. but there's so much I hate about in anime. LOL.

Lol at the amount of bullshits that are in this episode, the show is a huge mess after Gerd's death, at the halfway point I stopped caring. Amanda is the only normal one to live through that, and in the end I didn't even feel like she went through a lot, she was just there for the whole time. Is there any decent pink hair anime character out there?

When Joseph's hologram or whatever that was slowly fades away, my eyes were watery, not because I like his character or anything, but because of what he went through, and he's gone now.

What the hell was that ending? Ghostish Holograms? Hermann and Gerd possessing Joseph out of the blue? And their strength levels actually hard to understand. Joseph caught Xargin's sword yet when they clashed sword again, he totally lost.

I kinda expected the AmandaXMalek ending though(not sure if this is what is going to actually happen).

Well, in overall, it was still a 7/10 for me.
