So which ending do you prefer? Regular (TV/CR) or Alternate (Nico/Daisuki)?


What about Triage X, Mikagura, Vampire Holmes and Denpa Kyoushi?


I didnt even touch those, luckily I guess lol. Didnt even watch more than the first episode of denpa kyoushi.

After some more thought, this show is still definitely worst of the season

I assure you GS is better than all four I listed. Well, it's not like it's any achievement anyway.

TV ending was nice, they still don't know what future they will get, if the death end will come or not.

Web ending, confusing one, at the end which Kyoka and Tohru did they show?

It is over. Some times I really had trouble understanding what the hell was going on. The final episode was a bit boring to be honest and felt like a bunch of things stuck together.

The music was average. Characters are uninteresting. Animation is terribly inconsistent.

Story is all over the place. This Anime is terrible. That's all that needs to be said.

So judging this based off the TV ending.

Well the story wasn't that great. The concept itself was interesting, and done right, could've actually been some Stein's Gate level mindfuckery, but it was poor executed and didn't have nearly enough time to develop it's characters and plot devices.

White Tohru was just fucking retarded the entire time. "wahh you guys have cell phones and we have trees, so I need to kill you because our day to day is a bit harder". Ok then bud, how about you stop fighting, take ALL of the energy cubes out of your guns and everyone on your sides guns...and them FUCKING USE THEM FOR SOMETHIG PRODUCTIVE!!!

More Tohru x Kyouka.

Funny how the other week they completely shut down the Miki = Tohru and Kyouka's kid theory. But then when he kept telling her that "he'd see her soon, etc etc". I thought "well how the hell is he going to do that if she's not his kid. The only way that could happen is if he was old enough to be her grandfather". ...sure enough.

At least the ending was decent and conclusive. A little over dramatic, but at least it was happy. Kyouka went all crazy with the "president of the world thing". You'd think just the leader of the Katagiri group would be realistic, but then after that time skip you see the memorial that says "donated by the president of the world". So it actually happened lol.

We don't know whether Kyouka grew old with him, but I'd assume so. Also glad he didn't forget about her either when he says "we met again". She had no clue of course. I don't know why they didn't show his face. Like they weren't pretending that it was someone other than Tohru.

Few things they didn't clarify though that confused me:
1. Did they end up going back in time to the day of episode 1, but end up keeping their memories? That's what was heavily implied, because even the speeches and the news on TV was the same. If time was rewound though, why weren't Shizune or any other dead people brought back?
2. You could see that Kyouka was calling everyone, but about what? It had to be important enough that she called literally everyone.
3. If the histories separated after the cube was destroyed, does that mean that the two worlds wont ever meet each other? It was implied that when they discovered traveling to the other universes that it led to the war of the two worlds, so did that change?
4. What happened to all of their guns with the energy cubes in them?

Eh overall 5/10. Had a few interesting moments, and a decent ending. But that came at the price of many many shitty moments.

7/10, I enjoyed the fight scenes and the story's average.

I just love the part where the old guy shouts out loud to stop fighting. Especially because the VA uses his Master Asia voice.
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!"

WTF that kid is actually Tohur's grand daughter?

Wait, what the hell? How did 'Sidune' die again? Why was 'aniki' visiting her grave? What about the bag with 2 mascots that was shown in the morning on the way to school? Whose was that?

Ah, that episode was ... interesting? The action wasn't bad but it was terribly cliched, especially what they said to each other ... then the two Kyokas busted in too :S Well anyway, looks like Tohru destroyed the Energy Cube and everything went back to normal ... then Miki is his granddaughter huh? I was surprised at Kyoka just suggesting they get married ... yep O_O So what WERE those two dolls that gave Tohru the shield? They never explained that, did they ... D:

Well so overall ... like I feel they could have done this so well! The plot was really interesting but executed so poorly :( Not to mention the characters were generally annoying and that animation ... ugh >_< I mean at least the music was good??? D: Shame really ... the ending was OK, nothing spectacular but yeah, I feel like this could have been so good :S Oh well, I guess there's nothing for it, 6/10

The ending is definitely justified for both sides. It's a good thing that realities can separate. After all... after the realities have found each other once time machines began merging the two of them together, there they were.

It was a good decision to destroy the ultimate cube of 2015, to prevent the realities from destroying each other. What's next for them, though? I wonder if it's related to being great at each other's presences now that Miki is around? Who am I kidding? Tohru grew old! At least with Kyoka at peace, Tohru is too, with Miki as a reminder, and as his granddaughter! :D

The series is AWESOME! :D What's the theme song of the last episode, though, just before the credits?

This show was often not quite clear, especially on the characters. Aside from the main cast, I could hardly recognize who is who. I think a good part of this might be due to its weaker introductory episodes.

The story itself was fairly interesting and the soundtrack was very good, in my opinion.

I have to say, the Odhners were like some of the lamest "villains" ever, one episode after revealing their "evil plans" they died in such a lame way, one was easily killed by a secondary character and the other one was killed offscreen without any kind of buildup

For those that still somehow do not know, there's an alternative ending of White Tohru winning. http://myanimelist.net/anime/31064/Gunslinger_Stratos:_The_Animation-_Kikan_Kaze_no_Yukue

Anyways, liked the show at the start but as it went on went downhill. One big impact was killing off Shizune, which really killed it for me since I wanted to see her and Kyouma's relationship some more but no... denied. Even then nothing with Shizune of the other side neither. Second, finding out the animation quality from this and from the game was a big let down and I shouldn't of been shocked seeing it's that shitty A-1 pictures. Last, too many characters to go into with so low number of episodes to work with. As somebody wrote in the thread, just who the heck was that old man? Oh well.

May of been better with a different studio with the exception of Deen or Toei, higher episode count maybe 2 cour and a better laid out plot and character development. And don't kill Shizune. Kill someone else. Oh well time for me to wake up. Meh series. Game is probably better.

Slightly weaker ending than I had imagined but I still quite liked this kind of ending as most points were pretty solid resolved and it was a good ending in general which was lovely as well. I am quite interested to see what the alternate ending has to offer and what the difference is between the WEB and TV series but in general I liked this series.

While I wasn't completely right about Miki, I was close as I first thought she'd be the daughter, in fact she is the granddaughter, so it did indeed come over correctly as the creators wanted it to be!

I'm actually not exactly sure why there's so much hate resolving this anime, while it has various lacking points, it's been a while when I saw hate towards the anime from episode one.

Either way let's see what the specials and web version will offer us, but besides that I quite liked it!

Good action show. It would've been way awesome if had killed his other self towards the end but that would mean breaking the anime taboo of killing. Overall 7/10

I don't understand why there are so many haters and meh people of this anime. If you haven't finished the anime don't go on the discussion btw. From the first time I saw miki I saw a relation to toruh it was obvious and the right move. Why would they put a person so far away from the main character in a critical role duurr. The reason for the difference in toruh and Kyokas was obvious white toruh grew up in a world where he had to fend for himself and others making Kyoka the person who loves him for his strength and would back him up. Black toruh grew up as being equal with everyone with no dreams of being powerful but to make sure everyone was happy so Kyoka pushed him towards the goal of being able to do that. The differences in worlds and lives affected how they were. It's sad and dumb how white toruh couldn't understand how doing things the way he wanted would only end up with more people suffering and it blinded him that's why he was ignorant of miki. Black toruh wanted life for everyone and isn't that a great thing to aspire to? Life did not go back to normal when everything ended. The people who died were still dead. Technology didn't change and people who were involved kept thier memories. Yeah we all want to see the romance and blah blah but that was obvious from the start so why develop it more unless your one of those fan service weirdos the point is the story. Imo there are some loopholes like if the white world knew what happened to make it the way it was why not use the time machine to change it rather then fight for a already deteriorating world? This anime was great at showing how the future is never written in stone and showed a great way of brining it together
