| Open-ended on purpose for an epilogue or something like it? Hmmm These two simply weren't destined to kill each other. They were two innocents embroiled in feuds out of their reach. Nero didn't kill him. I just can't see it. |

| @megaload Well that's kinda more points on my side of the scales, so thank you. |

| Fuck this open ending bullshit...is what I normally would had said but after thinking about it, I"m actually fine with this ending. All hints of Nero sparing Avilio where clear (the speech he gave about living, the look he had when he was in his car...etc..), Going into this show I had high expectations and not only were they met but exceeded. Easily one of the best show that aired this past summer. 8/10 |
 |
| I enjoyed the show, seeing the magnitude of Angelo's revenge at the last episode with how he destroyed the family was pretty surprising. It's been a while since I was last shocked at someone's breakdown like Corteo's. They really left that ending open to interpretation, I wonder what that guy following Nero and Avilio wanted in the end. |
| I usually don't like open endings. Still loved this series though. Nero wondered why this all happened and Angelo was absolutely right, he should have killed Angelo way back then. 8/10 |

| God that was beautiful. I know not everyone is gonna be happy with how 91 Days ended, but I loved the direction it took...instead of being your typical angsty story of vengeance it was very implicit and introspective at its core. So, naturally the ending was the same. No matter what, Angelo couldn't really hate Nero and he couldn't bring himself to kill him because he was the reason he was living- both figuratively and literally. Nero wanted to give Angelo a reason for existing, and he'd been doing exactly that, albeit not really In the intended way of course. It was just so interesting to see both of their different reactions to having everything taken away. Angelo's vengeance fuels him until he burns out, but Nero can't really bring himself to kill for revenge...if he does kill Angelo, it's out of remorse if anything, because Angelo doesn't have it in him to live at this point. It was pretty poetic with them ending it as they both began though, since it also leaves room for the possibility of Nero repeating his past actions in letting Angelo live; It's implied he finally killed him, but it's left open and is ultimately up to the viewer to decide. I like to think that they both lived and went their separate ways, especially with Nero's "you don't need a reason to live, you just live" line, but that's because I'm a big ol' softy deep down. Their relationship was much better written than I was expecting- it didn't take the "complete hatred" route, but it didn't go full blown "you're-actually-a-good-person-so-I-can't-hurt-you-you've-given-me- feelings" route either. We'll probably never get anything 91 Days related again, but I totally could live with a Nero sequel/spinoff where he's on the run- he was such a great character. That lil' smile of his at the end tugged right at my heartstrings. God, I hope that driver he passed didn't manage to kill him ;_; |

| Nice ending, at least until I saw the last few seconds with the footstep and there's only 1 trace of it. I really disliked it until I saw a post on the other thread where the user says that it's most likely a footstep backward, hinting that it was Nero's footstep walking away, sparing Avilio's life which make more sense given how he was acting when he was leaving. The entire series however, was really overrated, a generic plot with generic cast of characters. I also dislike their design, I mean, we don't need dudes with gayish (for the lack of word, no offense) hairstyle in a mafia anime, seriously, I was ticked off by Barbero and Avilio's hairstyle for the span of the entire series, never did get used to it by the end. Vanno's hairstyle made me feel all tingly though it only lasted 2 episodes. I usually like characters like Fango, but his type just didn't work for me. I feel like he's heavily protected by plot armor, given what he attempted, he would've been dead much earlier, which makes his character really unbelievable. Not only that, I personally find that the author failed with writing his character, failed to find a balance between insanity and rationality, and switches between them only when the plot demanded it. At the core of the characters, we have Nero and Avilio, or Angelo if you prefer to call him that. At time like this, I wish studios or writers would've given more time for the development of the bond between Nero and Angelo, because I just didn't get that feeling that Angelo was that close to Nero, and it's easy as a spectator, but if you put yourself in Nero's shoes, Angelo looked shady as all hell. The only reason I see Nero being close to Angelo or look at him as a dear friend is due to the plot, and that's pretty much it. This is like a mix of Baccano and Texhnolyze, but it's much worse than both series. I've seen some hype around the series so I was pretty ecstatic coming into this series, only to be disappointed from episode 2 onward. I can see some people giving it extra points for its setting alone, which admittedly a fresh experience compared to hundreds of series with more common/generic setting. I didn't like the direction it was heading into (by killing Vanno so early) (by making Angelo this smart ass whose plan never fail) (by making really cliche scene like ep 10 where Angelo was forced to kill Corteo to earn the trust of others +bonus sob scene +extra bonus hallucination of dead friend+wine) On the plus side, the soundtrack was really good, and I like that the studio is trying out the cinema-like directing, akin to a movie, it was definitely a unique experience. I wonder what's up with them studios trying this approach recently, with Re:Zero ep 15 and now this series; whatever it is though, I liked it. |

| the ending was confusing for me because a shot was fired and nero came back alone. The passing car to the beach was suspicious and the footsteps with no blood around them was bizarre indeed. I guess the ending was really open, in case they carry season 2. |

Arachnophobic said: They chose quite an unexpected route with this ending - I think I'm not wrong to assume that almost everyone of us was expecting Nero to go on a murderous rampage, and that his first encounter with Angelo would lead to either one or both of their deaths. Instead, Nero mysteriously and somewhat impressively managed to keep his cool. After that, I even began to expect them to team up and go after the new Don Galassia - even that was thwarted. What we got was a very introspective ending. The ocean seemed like an echo of the ending of End of Evangelion. I don't think Nero killed Angelo, btw - it didn't make sense at that point, when both of them were coming to terms with their actions and their reasons for living. The evidence points in that direction, too - the lack of any body on the shore, and Nero smiling at the can of pineapples. Maybe Nero realised, seeing Angelo's state, that revenge wouldn't get him any satisfaction. Overall I'm giving this a 8/10. P.S.: Maybe it's because I've just finished watching Shirobako, but I'm deeply suspicious that the plot and ending was significantly altered during production. As proof, I can only present as evidence some scenes from the OP that we never got to see (see spoiler at the end), the recap episode in the middle (I was expecting this to be a 13 episode series, because of the 7 days x 13 = 91 days theory), and the somewhat rushed ending. Yeah actually i've been thinking where the hell is that scene? I mean yeah they sould have ep 13! |
| Pretty interesting ending actually, but well one way it does seem I can't really enjoy this kind of anime series. It might be because of the atmosphere and all but there's something about it that I don't enjoy. That said the overall setting and concept was still pretty interesting and properly executed! A bit of a sad ending but well there were not really any good moments in this anime either! All in all an okay anime! |

mirinin said: I am not against the hairstyle, but it doesn't fit in the era the series was portrayed in. It doesn't mesh well with the setting imo. To give you an example, it's like having to look at characters that have bright colour palette with a shady/greyish/darkish background. It's just my preference.Lol, i guess you are true at some part but hey gayish hairstyle is awesome, i mean angelo look handsome and cool af |

| Given how everything was spiraling into chaos, this quiet ending was somewhat anticlimactic. Not necessarily a bad thing, but a very strong contrast from last episode. Another road trip brought it back to earlier in the series. It was somewhat perplexing and bizarre to see Nero and Angelo goof off after everything that had happened (such as when Nero jokingly cuts the ropes on Angelo's hands so he can eat). Although with that said, I feel like the tone of their relationship did change during the campfire scene when Angelo finally broke down. It was almost like Nero realized Angelo was a victim and nothing he did to him would right the wrongs that have been done to either of them. As for the open ending, it leaves a great deal to be interpreted and the conclusion one comes to would depend on how they viewed the dynamics of Nero and Angelo's relationship. I'm sure I'll miss some details along the way, but here's my take on both possibilities: A). Nero shoots Angelo. This is the easiest one to understand because as shown earlier in the episode, Nero was ready to end Angelo. The Vanetti family meant everything to him and his fury was endless. On the other hand, it could be possible that because of their campfire conversation, Nero's resentment diminished and he felt sympathetic towards Angelo. In that case, he might have shot Angelo out of respect for his wish to settle everything once and for all. That moment when Angelo keeps walking, full well expecting to be shot in the back is evidence that he no longer valued his life and, if anything, felt he'd gain more in death by joining his family and Corteo. B). Nero spares Angelo. I can't think of many reasons why Nero wouldn't shoot. Maybe it could be a recurring theme that no matter how much time passes, Nero could never hit his mark. It's also possible that in some sense, he forgave Angelo during their road trip. It would explain why the tension was low after the campfire scene. There's also the possibility that Nero spared Angelo because he had grown to hate him even more. By not killing Angelo, he would enact his revenge by forcing him to live with the realization that his revenge amounted to nothing. I suppose it's all a matter of perspective. Choose your ending based on which way you viewed the character's motives. Well overall, 91 Days is singlehandedly my AOTS. The mafia setting is one that's seldom used but all the more reason shows like this tend to stand out. It started with a Godfather-esque setup and soon evolved into its own monster. Angelo's journey for revenge was spectacular, his constant calculations and ruthlessness always making my jaw drop. While it only felt natural to root for Angelo, Nero also grew on me. His simple wish to protect the Vanetti family and the fulfillment of Angelo's revenge caused a surge of both satisfaction and discontent. Not to forget Corteo, Angelo's first sworn brother. His death reinforced just how ruthless and ironclad these mafia families were about loyalty. I'm glad they didn't pull any punches in conveying the nature of the criminal underworld they were in. Honorable yet savage. 9/10, may Corteo and (possibly) Angelo find peace in their Lawless Heaven. |

| So if I understood correctly, Strega sent Avilio back to the island after saving his life so that he can kill Nero? I don't understand why some scenes like Nero being traced by cars are shown though. If I'm not wrong then Nero probably shot Avilio either in a non vital spot or missed him, but he's tracked by Strega and bound to die. After his speech, I doubt he'd just kill Avilio, but a double death would have been the perfect ending. Nonetheless, this is the best thing I've seen since Texhnolyze and I'd rate it 10/10. People don't understand how great this anime was. I've never cried so much since long ago. |

| Definitely could have used more episodes,also it was very disappointing how visually it started to get really bad in its last few episodes (*cough http://i.imgur.com/4CrsP6Z.jpg) Also feel like some scenes that were supposed to leave a bigger impact didn't really manage to do so. But overall it was very enjoyable and very gripping all throughout its runtime,it would have been a 7 compared to other great,similar shows like Gungrave or DTB,but compared all the trash that's been released this year its a light 8. |

| I sometimes watch chinese cartoons/stuff and share unsolicited opinions. |
| And I thought they would elope into the sunset. The open end is a bit frustrating, but I think it fits the end alright. The whole series kinda reminds me a lot of breaking bad somehow. 9/10 overall, very entertaining. |
| I was like really... really... really? For all the ending And after that I was like this can't be...right?... right? If I tell you the truth I thought at first that Nero killed Avilio as his personal revenge but after reading a lot, I do not think so. I think Nero fired at Avilio (failing of course) saying "Just Kidding" as he would. And it was when he told Avilio that from now on they would go their separate ways, mentioning that he would stay with the car, "after all with the way you surely lead'd discovered ... and it was also your idea to come to the sea so you can go walk do not you think so? " Then he turned and said something "If fate wants it, we'll meet again. And then you can fulfill your revenge" what Avilio nodded. (Okay I admit that this was my biggest dream of a final). Footprints symbolize the beginning (I like Nero theory; that he would not talk about that Angelo should live and then kill him and I agree). Finally on the truck the way I interpret it: The Vanettis are dead so Nero is worthless, if they had wanted Galassias would have killed them, after all the new Don only kills those who stand in their way, Is a new begin, that's what I believe :) Good ending for me 10/10 <3 |
| I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people will think. "Shit, is her again" or something. People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English. |
| That was a somber, but startling last episode... Nero and that guy that reminds me of Lupin are the only Vanettis remaining (if that dude is one, of course). The whole family got massacred by the Galassias. Angelo and Nero then go to a journey, Angelo finally showed real emotions and we finally got a clear view of the people pulling off what happened that night. Angelo going ahead and Nero pulling the trigger startled me :o The whole anime was about deception, revenge and tragedy. I'm having trouble assuming that they both lived because all I had in mind was that they died. I think that Nero shot Avilio because he lost everything because of him. His family, his position as don and his life as he knew it. Before he decided to end it, Nero gave Angelo a talk about not needing a reason to live. That was caused by the bond they've built together during those short months and his want to lessen Angelo's pain after knowing what the feeling of losing everything is like. Like Angelo having to put down Corteo, Nero experienced the devastating feeling of killing his own best friend firsthand. What he did was from guilt, sadness and pity. He smiled because he was reminiscing the happy times they had together and he actually noticed that Galassias car, thinking that he'll finally meet up with his friends and family after getting killed in an ambush by the mobsters. Avilio's footprints could've been much father than what was shown, making his body out of the watcher's view. The waves already washed away the other footprints beforehand before the ones at end got washed away too. I can't help but conclude that they both got erased :'( That was quite a ride. I wonder why I put it on hold for several months with just 3 episodes remaining. Heartbreaking 8/10. Avilio turning into pineapples could work. |
 |
| Well now that wasn't bad at all. Last 3 episodes when they stopped fucking around and got to the real meat of the story were definitely a step up on everything that came before, which was itself not bad at all. Not sure how I feel about the open ending and the whole roadtrip at the end... but whatever, not like I feel particularly strongly that it should have ended a certain way, even upon reflection. |
| Is an open final you can think whatever comes to your mind about the end :) Avilio approached nero to befriend him and be able to kill all Vannetis. But as he mentioned that he wanted Nero suffer what he suffered (although I think it was because I really became friends). |

| Such a weird ending, didn't expect it to end like this, but oh well whatever, I still enjoyed the show 8/10 |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| awesome feels trip for the last episode. gdi 9/10 for me. The ending was a bit confusing tho. There was no blood in the sand. |
 |
| Good show,it had few unconvincing actions. 7/10 |
| The closer you get to the light,the greater your shadow becomes. |
| "One should know true despair to fully understand hope." I mean everyone would be more captivated in this story if they knew how to walk in hell. Well in this case, I doubt Angelo was looking for hope anyway in this city of madness. What a beautiful way to get revenge. In terms of character's personality . .their thoughts & judgement are within realms of possible in a matter of fact. Though some actions could be term as stupid, overall - 91/100 |
 |
| I like how they make it an Open ending for Angelo and Nero Too bad they did not tell the aftermath of the Gangs and the City, it would be perfect if what happened to the city was disclosed and what happened to the remaining mafia gangs after the event. Overall, nice anime, completely deserve the solid 8/10 Great story of Revenge, Greed, and Betrayal. |
 |
| So i'm assuming that Nero didn't kill Avillio since there was no blood or dead body there... the story quiet ironic kinda like it and hat it at the same time overall score 7/10 |
 |
| The End Is Horrible -.- |
| Pretty fking good anime. |
 |
| I think Avilio is still alive considering in the earlier episodes Avilio said "Nero can't let his friends die" or something when they were trying to save Tigre back then. Either way a really solid series. |
