| Ah, boy. I love Ranta and want to see him and Yumi get together in the future. "I should have fondled that flat-chest!" People complaining about Haruhiro still thinking about Manato make me laugh. Haruhiro loved and looked up to Manato. He's his entire motivation so of course he's going to continue thinking about him otherwise what was the point of their relationship? It's not like he's obsessing to the point that it's unhealthy. He even said this episode that he accepted that Manato was dead. You're all probably just upset that there's love beyond the grave and your OTPs don't stand a chance. #HaruxManato5eva #priestkinkstrong #ghostlove |

That is why I continued watching the series out of curiosity and with high hopes that that point or plot or wtv would be explored. If you had no idea or background of the series, you would of course, as a new viewer, hope that the thing that piqued your interest in continuing the series would at least be touched upon on the later episodes, especially if that was one of the things that could answer why they were in Grimgar in the first place. Oh, the "I do not belong here" vibes were touched upon lightly, even In the last episodes however I would dare you to tell how you expected the series, after episode 5, to suddenly take a heel turn and become something it has thus far not been Interested In. Judging the series for what you want it to be Is such a waste of time, In contrast to judging it for what it wants to be. The "Why am I here" Is far less Important to the story than the "I am here". Judging a series can be subjective to a person and I have the right to do so. And even if I did rate it objectively it would still be a 4-5/10 considering the art. |

| Sorry Yume fan but look like Mary ship is gonna sail with MC. Overall I wish they could have fight more monster other then goblin and wolf-man. Pacing was some what slow at time. |
| I can't even imagine how Ranta escaped from that and managed to survive!!! Haru is the man! He defeated that giant Death Spot alone...with no help, he was injured but still. All this time, they managed to survive by themselves. I personally loved this anime, it was great and so different from the others, it was slow but it was something unique that made this anime so good. The art and the sound were perfect, i'm still amazed by those views of the city. Since Mary appeared it seems that the producers are trying so hard to ship them lol But i still want Yume x Haru <3 xD Hope there will be a 2nd season! It must happen. 8/10  I will simply leave this here :) P.S - Yume best girl <3 |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| I really liked this anime. The pacing was slow but it fitted so well with the atmosphere the show wanted us to experience. The awards go to: Best moment: Haruhiro and Yume crying while embracing each other. Most Adorable character: Yume (I dunno why some of you find her way of talking annoying, she is so adorable in everything she does, including her way of talking). Best Girl: Mary (and the most beautiful of all the girls from this season's anime) Best Ship: Queen Mary with Hal. Definitely an 8/10 and one of the best shows this season alongside KonoSuba and Shouwa Rakugo. Chances of a sequel is dim but I would watch it if they made one. |

| Hmm, just finished it, 7.5/10 i guess?? Lack of action scene, the boss fight is a joke LMAO, so easy. It would be 8.5/10 for me, if the action scene is more than touchy scene. Not a touchy scene liking fangay. At least i finally finish it :/ not gonna watch season 2 if it exists and lack of action |
 |
| Whelp. It's over. It was exciting when they were fighting or learning new skills, but the overall atmosphere at every other time was a little too slice-of-life; as if the fantasy element wasn't necessary at all in their day-to-day lives, which aside from dealing with the deaths, it was quite boring, like Haruhiko's talking about needing bloody new underwear. I think I would have liked to see more of Renji's group, seeing as they leveled up with better gear far more quickly. In the end, I think the only thing I really liked about this show was Barbara the thief guild master. |
| Fun show, albeit it was slow in more than a few parts. The team that worked on this should have spent a few more sessions working on the storyboard and pacing. |
| This anime got better in the second half. Mary bestgril. |
 |
| Beautifully ending to a really solid anime. Definitely one of my favs now, I just adored the atmosphere, felt right at home with it. Haruhiro badass mode was even cooler, what else can we ask for? Nothing... except maybe more HaruYume and RantaMary. Okay, I feel like HaruYume have this unexplainable chemistry, I just really like their bond, even I don't know why. As for the other one, only Mary can shut up Ranta. He might become decent under her influence you know. Some positive influence on him would be much appreciated, and Mary would be a pretty choice for that. It's not that I don't like HaruMary, it's lovable and all... The thing is, I dislike RantaYume. He's so annoying around her, and even she said that she doesn't like it when he calls her flat and other blahblahblah. He behaves like a 10 year old kid around her. Don't like that. Either new girl for him, or HaruYume 'cause Yume deserves much better than someone like him, gah. But ye, I absolutely loved everyone's development. Even Shihoru got some great moments this episode. Ranta grew a little but the problem is, I don't like that kinda people, so I'll probably forever dislike him. Anyways, this deserves s a s2. Badly. A-1 did a great job! Everything was beautiful, and just great... Gonna miss everyone esp. Yume, her way of talking is too adorable for this world gah |
 |
| Better than ERASED. The BG is kinda meh but the character development is good 8/10 |
 |
| Pretty nice closing episode, I really liked it. Wish there would be season 2 sometimes in the future. This series really managed to create a bond, not only within its main characters but also to a viewer. They really felt like friends... or maybe even like a family to me, and that's maybe the greatest bow creator can get. I'll certainly miss them much. 8/10 Different take on alternate reality anime genre, more intimate and melancholic (in a good way). |
| Wow, I actually don't know how to rate this. It's so average, yet kinda unique at the same time, and at other times plain bad. Gonna think about the final score. The last episode itself was okay. The fight with DS was underwhelming, but I guess I shouldn't have expected anything more - after all, the group are still amateurs, so the only way Haruhiro could win was by luck. The closure was typical, but still good. Final episode: 3.5/5 Series overall: ?/10 Yeah, gonna edit this later. |

| I would've said it was a nice ending, but just can't let slide how Haruhiro solo killed DS. Well DS was injured, so was Haru, he saw the stream and followed it, i think it's something like mc's power up. The teamwork, coordination, the way they were using skills to help each other, that was what made this anime rather different from other MMO-type. And the ending of this battle ruined it. I saw someone posted how it was in LN and i think it was better, but it wasn't so in anime. Don't really know Haru dying would've been better ending, but i think it would be more right. At least the obligatory Yume's ass shot for the end =/ |
 |
| I am happy Ranta was able to survive, his demon is awesome LOL I am also glad Haru was alive and well! I feel that the Haru x Mary vibes are kinda strong...same way that Ranta was thinking about Yume when he was trying to survive. I am looking forward to a 2nd season! 8/10 |
 |
| The 3 best things about this anime: 1. The Art-Style 2. The Animation 3. Ranta |
 |
| Not sure why people are bashing the anime because they changed it up from the light novel. Maybe people should rate an anime on how it is, not how closely it is to the source material. Not all anime do this, oddly enough. Anyways, solid ending. I actually wasn't a fan of the background art styles... it made some scenes look really funky. Main artwork was excellent though. Also weird how they showed Ranta's helmet on when he used Exhaust against Death Spots for a few seconds... someone goofed. 8/10 for me. Been a while since I gave a current seasoned anime that rank. |
| 9/10 for obvious adaptation compression, loss of focus on YumexHaru, and magic helmets. |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Really loved the series! Best moment was when Haru fought Death Spots, haha. BUT SERIOUSLY WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE HARU X MARY INSTEAD OF HARU X YUME Dx? AAARGGGH |
 |
| The episode was nice as always (almost), the equipment "bug" will certainly be removed for the retail edition. But the conclusion failed: it totally closes the question about how they landed here instead of adding a little piece of information in order to tease and to make me want to read further (the novels). 4/5 +: Very nice aesthetic (beautiful backgrounds...) Interesting take on the "trapped in a heroic-fantasy MMORPG". -: But it wanted to be realistic without trying enough. At the end. it felt incredibly vain thanks to the lack of a proper story. The focus on characters doesn't make a story dispensable. I can tolerate it for pure slice-of-life or gag/humour genres but here... (and even in those genres, some titles are able to tell a story.) Overall, 6/10 (only because the characters reactions were interesting) I would never give this anime as advice. |

| well that was actually nice |
 |
| Well, that's a good finale. I enjoyed watching it. And they will make a sequel I'm still gonna watch it. Anyway, I'll rate this anime a 7 out 10 score overall. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| Ranta somehow survived. Shiet now he's getting chased "Let's go back to Ortana" "Yokatta" Like hell "Yokatta" it ain't gonna be that easy bro. That's a nice ketsu shot of Yume. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Dead spot is calling all creeps (goosebumps book title lel) Merry cares for HAL, she wants to go and save him but gets stopped. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Yeah that's right, you aren't dead yet mate. HAL (the movie) in the zone adn the scene is done well! ded spot is ded. Wow the art quality suddenly increased when he's been saved. NOO the HAL and MERY ship is close to sailing, TAKE YUME ON YOUR SHIP!! What the fuck Ranta, why so damn hyper man, "drinks on us" bruh you gotta ask the opinions of all the party member bro, what the fuck man, that's bad man. The art quality has gotten great towards the end. Very clean and clear. Alright/ good anime overall. 3.2/5 |
 |
| Ehh? this anime was something 2k at ranking, now 600? And this last ep was not bad, but not good too. Overall I did not enjoy it, too slow anime 4me. |
| 5/10 Did some things right, did a lot of things badly. Final episodes were alright, but Death Spots fight was pretty disappointing. I don't know what the characters achieved at all, or what the goal of the show is. Their journey so far feels pretty pointless imo. |
| Loved it!!! I loved this right from the beginning and continued to love it until the end. Really hoping there will be a second season!!! 9/10 |
 |
| Enjoyed it overall. Slow pace but with the music and the art I found that actually kind of relaxing in a nice way for the most part rather than annoying. The action scenes weren't great and the enemies were a bit boring though. At least Ranta was a badass in fights. Realistically I think a 7/10 is appropriate but I bumped it up to 8/10 cause all 3 girls were so damn cute >,> |

| What a poor story, awful characters. I was going to give this a 2/10, but the last two eps raised the level to mediocre heights. |
| Ups and down, exciting and boring. This anime gives us a good ending 8/10 |
| Yesterday is history... Tomorrow is a mystery... And... Today is a gift, that's why it's called present. |
| This episode was great! Ranta survived he's pretty strong. |
 |
| This series has great character development, glad it wasn't rushed. |
| The show had some good moments but I wasn't really into it, it lacked quite a lot of things edging towards a 6.5/10 |
| I need more ;_; hope it will have a second season. But realisticly thinking that's not very likely |

nikolai131 said: Literally this was the WORST light novel adaptation I've seen since Mahou Sensou. A-1 never stops to amaze me--- From the insane changes in the character designs, to the tens of skipped scenes and the hundreds altered ones, including the most symbolic and important ones... Oh and not to forget the increase of fanservice and ass-shots, 'cuz they so important. I had such hopes for this considering I am big fan of the light novels, but oh well... what can you do... Now I should start praying for complete remake from another studio and to never get a 2nd season by A-1. Only thing I will prize are the backgrounds/landscapes. They were insanely beautiful, nothing like the cheaply drawn characters that didn't do them justice. As for the last episode itself. It gave a nice (sort of) conclusion to the TV, and more chara-dev for Mary (sorry, no Mary), and the romance remarks were welcome too. Hm I wouldn't go as far as to say that it was that bad, but yeah they definitely dropped the ball on some things. I personally preferred the original LN art more, and I do think that this anime could have benefited from some differences in scene length, and even more from a 2-cour schedule rather than a single. Nonetheless, I did enjoy the anime, just not in the way or the quantity that I would have liked. I mean... at least they drew the muscles well in the OP right? I did like how they represented the line though, seeing as how I never had a clear image of it in my head when I read through it. Also, while I wasn't especially fond of the changes to the Deathpatch Spots battle, it was okay to say the least. Decent enough for me to watch, still hoping for a second season, maybe with different planning this time though |

| The story was pretty slow at first, too much MCs monologue, but i like the laid backs days and the atmosphere that revolves around the characters. I thought this series is going to end with boring finale because they ran away from Death Spot but fortunately we got to see Haru's badassness at the end 1v1 with the Death Spot. Well if you don't like slow paced anime then you probably hate this one but it seems pretty good to me as long as the MC get to show of his ability to defeat strong monster to save his party.  Haru x Maru ship is here ! get on board folks ♥ Overall score 8/10, wouldn't mind for a second season or OVAs |
 |
| So, my main motivation to watch this was A1 Pictures + Hosoya Yoshimasa combo. Then, when I started watching, I realized that it was VERY slow paced and was somewhat...building up to something. So I gave it time. Surely, it would become better, right? One of the fatal flaws evident in the earlier episodes was that: 1. Insert songs. Those are supposed to be used later on to induce strong feels. But why did they have it in earlier episodes? Worse, we had a few episodes later on where an insert song played 5-6 minutes INTO an episode. What the fuck? Bad timing. 2. Sex jokes disrupting the mood. They try and have serious scenes or even just calm scenes but all of the "flat chest! flat chest!" jokes are REALLY... Unneeded. Not only that but the mood shifts were just flat out weird. (No pun intended) 3. Lack of direction, but that's redundant as I said it was slow paced and nothing was happening. Then Manato died. And here's one thing I actually praise this Anime on: He stayed dead. I love Manato as much as the next fangirl but I'm glad they didn't pull some Bleach/Dragon Ball bullshit by bringing him to life. My friend pointing out that the grieving was done well and I have to agree with him. The addition of what's her name... Mary, was very extra and unneeded. Even with her backstory, I honestly have seen better. On the bright side, she did stop acting bitchy which was good. I made a comment about this show lacking substance and I have to rephrase this. What I mean is, lots of stuff happen but it just feels very empty and forced upon the viewer. Yeah, Manato dies, Mary joins, subtle feelings develop, Ranta develops but it all doesn't feel natural and doesn't sit for a good time until the next event happens. This isn't a special show or remarking. I'm sticking with 5/10. It did its job but was below a "Fine" level and had too many flaws to be at 6/10. EDIT- One more thing I truly enjoyed was the sketchy watercolour scenery stills. That is all. |
