I like this series.
I like this season.
But... the final was just so-so...
What happen to Chaika?
She lose memories and what now?
Really I need to wait for OVA? -.-
I wanted another kiss, but this time Toru could start it!
But this was good episode, only last few scenes are just...
Should be another episode next week :D

Hmm. Not sure whether it's an 8 or 7, probably leaning toward a 7. First season was a 8.

Like everyone else said, that ending felt really anticlimactic and rushed.

Thing I really liked about the series is how the main characters weren't stupidly overpowered like others. Fredrica was probably my favorite character despite her always almost dying. When Gaz cut her into pieces, I just thought "Oh, again" lol

This was a pretty nice series though a lot happened in this last episode.

It was interesting to see how all the puppet Chaika and even the two black Chaika being under her command. It was so weird watching the Chaika fight.

Tooru abandoning his sabeteur to make a contract with Fredrica. Having to eat a little bit of each other. Tooru looked pretty awesome in his new armour and that regeneration! Killing Shin :/

The fight between Gaz and Tooru. Fredrica instantly disabled and Tooru almost died until Chaika saved him. Niva unable to kill Chaika joins her side and kills Gaz. It was a little underwhelming. The OST was really good when the recoil hit Chaika.

It almost made it seem like Chaika lost all her memories. Everyone moving on and Akari living with Tooru and Chaika with having Red Chaika visiting. That novel xD

Looking forward to the ova, this gets 8/10 as this was pretty good~

Felt too rushed to be honest. I expected Gaz to be much more formidable and the fight with Shin to take longer. I don't get why they added a couple more episodes to flesh things out a bit more. The first season was more satisfying for some reason.

Lol, you make it sound like as if 7/10 was a bad rating.. some people man.. geez.


First season really hit my nerve in some ways, and as everything was still open to be concluded I quite liked it which led to a 7.

This overall.. *sigh* a 5 must do :/

I have to agree, even without reading the source material I could feel this was rushed.
It's a solid 7.5/10 for me because I enjoyed both seasons a lot.

It really was rushed but understandable.. The fights were awesome although I wish it was little longer. That kick in the face lol.

That ending what a troll. I honestly thought Chaika died after she oneshot killed Gaz...-/;

And so it's over. A bit sad since the ending felt rushed :/
I would have liked to have a more develloped epilogue, why can't studio understand that! D:
PLease, make the OVA some sort of epilogue of what happened after the war, maybe a 10 minutes resuming the moment directly after he found Chaika to that five years after and then what happened to the Gilette squad, what happened to Akari and co. and what happened to the ToruxChaika ship.

That bitch emperor broke Chaika coffin! He broke her soul!! And I think he lacked a bit of energy when he was killed, casually doing a shitty shield. I laughed though when Frederica got neutralize in a matter of seconds xD

Shin-nii got caught in a trap. He should have guessed better. You don't mess with a dragon knight, especially when we have no idea either what it does.

Well, it was fun guys, elaborating complicated theories to explain the plot and trying to figures how many Chaika there would be. It was a good ending. Not a great ending, not the most satisfying one that I could have hoped, but I still had fun watching it :)

Overall I really enjoyed both seasons, it has adventure, humor, nice battle scenes... but the ending was rushed

I wish Fredrica could have been a bit more useful, she gets owned every time.

Niva switching sides because "she has personality" could have been much better if
given more time. Also, a shame for a gun "with personality: to be stuck in a glass cabinet for all eternity

So the Chaika in the OP in pure white and looking happy is from the final scene. So did she lose her memory or not? And her "losing the will to live" in the beginning of the episode wasn't resolved either.

Overall, really enjoyed it but could have used an extra episode or two....

Wow so much happened.
I loved that kick on black Chaika. I think it was the best Red Chaika's moment in the series.
The contract was amazing and Toru looked really cool.
I was very sad when I thaught Chaika had died but that was short lived :p
I'm not sure these are the finals moments I were expecting and it kindda looked like there could be a 3rd season but not sure.
I'm happy with this anime and it was hella fun to watch. :)

Thank god there's an OVA. 10 episode wasn't enough but despite being fast-paced it never felt rushed to me. Maybe because I didn't read the novels? I guess I'll need to read them.

7/10 for the 1st season and an 8/10 for this one.

Not to add to this broken record of a thread, but it was certainly a bit rushed. Even just an extra 10 minutes of time for the last episode would've fix this most likely, but ah well. Loved both seasons, but I look more highly on the first only because it had a much more solid ending.

7/10 for the season only cause of the rushed end. Barring that, 8/10 for sure!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO why did Toru stop being a saboteur D: That's way cooler than some lame dragon knight.

Hmm a happy end? That doesn't seem right. How much of her memory did Chaika lose with that final attack?

Anyway. Still don't like that it was so short. The story was cool and with a studio like Bones the animation was great(as expected from the beginning of the first season).

Man, a lot left to the imagination here. Fortunately the show did a wonderful job throughout and in the last several episodes building on a lot of things that happened here, like Toru's decision coming after Chaika declares she has nothing to live for, Shin and Gaz acknowledging Toru's resolve and the path he'd taken, and Chaika getting her resolve back after seeing Toru's. All that was fine honestly because it had proper build up and was shown in a way viewers could figure out, but when you look at the developments with Niva just happening and Gaz seemingly accepting the blast, this really could have used at least one more episode.

Though I feel like the memory thing may have been left to our imagination either way. Of course, I think clarification would be better because it provides a better resolution in how we see the group's dynamic playing out from here on. Still a little disappointed in Vivi and Red Chaika's lack of resolution, but at least they touched on it. Hopefully the OVA gives us a little more closure, but all in all this was a very fun ride.

This series became a large portion of my life this year. I've seen every episode at least twice, with the exception of this one, and it is a really well written, and thought out show. But I REALLY REALLY wish that Chaika's epilogue was a bit longer...they could have cut back on some of the Gillette epilogue so that she could have proper closure.

But that's what happens when your show is bombing in sales, and you only have 10 episodes to wrap everything up. If the OVA is set after the anime's ending, then all will be forgiven. Because it needed a bit more closure.

However the final episode was pretty awesome! Lots of action, Chaika being awesome, and her final line about giving her father a funeral, was pretty epic in its own way.

I'm going to miss this show, which has quickly become one of my favorite anime. But this season was more rushed than the first season, so I'm going to have to give it a 9/10 as opposed to the 9.5/10 I gave its predecessor.

Hyped for the OVA now!

Nice final battles, it went by so fast but enjoyable over all. A glimpse of action here, a bit of drama there, and a perfect ending scene. From all this we can conclude that the gang lived happily afterwards.

Here's my tribute to No. 357


P.S. Red Chaika is really adorable, would make a perfect tsundere character. I hope we get some fan service of her in the OVA. :p

(EDIT: We do get to see some fan service after all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05rvorAl33o )

Not bad but I wasn't expecting an ending like that it was like onepunchman- lots of build up but ended so suddenly. If anything I was overwhelmed by how situation turned 180. Anyway can anyone please confirm whether the ending was anime original or it followed the LN. If I am not mistaken the LN seems to be still ongoing.

Ln hasn't ended yet so we don't know. It will end in like a week or so. Previously, they said it will be similar ending if not the same but now I really don't know - anime changed many things from the LN, nothing THAT major but I guess ending will be a bit different. As for the anime I really enjoyed it. White chaika is super adorable and now when I realized I don't have any reason to look forward to Wednesdays I feel kinda empty inside. The ending was fitting, I couldn't think of better alternative. Obviously Chaika lost her memories, notice that her speech returned to normal - she said arigato instead of kansha. Shame that this season was so short & had small budget but overall it was an enjoyable ride. ^^

Everyone has already said this - but it felt rushed to me. I wish they'd had more episodes to work with, because so much happened in the last two episodes. It was epic, but it all happened so quickly that I feel like it didn't have quite the same impact. Also, I was hoping for more closure with Chaika and Toru. I want to know if she remembers him, though I'm inclined to think she's started from square one with her memories...

Wish there was more than just an OVA coming. :P

Well even if it was a bit rushed, I'm glad that at least we have the final of this series ... it not remained incomplete as other transpositions of novels ...
For all that you gave me, Chaika, I give you a 9-deserved !

God save our gracious Chaika,

Long live our noble Chaika,

God save the Chaikas !

ps: Maybe I'm wrong ... but they could have made a final a bit rushed to push people to buy the novel to find out more details and a final more elaborate ...

Toru looked so bad ass after making a contract with Fredrica! He even killed Shin (which was a little anticlimactic but still very pleasing). A little sad that Chaika had to use her memories to kill Gaz but I'm glad that he's gone as well.

7/10 for the whole series. While it was a good ending it was... A little anticlimactic. Definitely could've used two more episodes to make things wrap up a little more nicely. Still a great series though, and very underrated.

I'll give the series overall a 7. I found it enjoyable for the most part.

My favorite part of the finale was seeing Red Chaika kick Black Chaika in the face!

I was a little worried that when Gaz died it would make all of the Chaikas die, but as others have pointed out, his second death wiped out their false memories.
