| So we waited 3 months for...this? Half of this special was a pointless recap and the other half doesn't even work as a finale. Honestly I don't even know what to say other than I'm incredibly disappointed. |
| I'm not even really mad. For one, I wasn't a big fan of season 1 to begin with nor I was I too invested. And two, the staff are being overworked and were rushed. Apparently one of the staff members had to go to the hospital a few months back. But if I was a huge fan of the series I would be pretty upset |
| Do modern anime writers just not know how to end anything anymore? |
 |
| I understand correctly, they made a special episode to fix the bad ending and made it even worse? Hell, I deliberately did not add the series to the watched in order to watch it again with a special and draw a more objective conclusion. |
 |
| wtf was the point of that ???? the aftermath of where they ended it last season? ok what did we accomplish then ???? they entered a parallel world, momo just wants to live her life normally, rika wants to fight again.. what abt ai? why the hell did she throw away her phone? no like genuinely why did she do it? this is so ?????? what ?? |
| 5.68 already lol, im so excited |
| Oh wow, the early watchers weren't kidding at how bad this was. So basically half was a recap and the rest of the special episode brought up more questions instead of resolving anything. Neiru is apparently an AI, the "friends" who got reincarnated are from a parallel world, Koito actually died by slipping to her death so it technically wasn't even suicide, and Ai went from throwing phone after Neiru called --> time skip --> Ai changing her mind and deciding to rescue her? Wtf? That's so dumb. I mean I disliked the original 12 episodes of Wonder Egg Priority so this wasn't a big disappointment to me at all, but this was even worse than I thought it would be. If there's a second season I might change my mind, but with that end card, it's doubtful. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Thanks for the recap, forecast, more questions, and the non ending. I loved this show when it started but it went down hill pretty quick for me.... This special hurt me. |
 |
| I wanted answers, not more questions... .-. |
| It was so close to being 10/10 but it fucked up in a recent episode leading to this disaster. It didn't even feel like an ending to me. I'm just so frustrated right now. I waited 3 months for this. FUCK just FUCK this anime. Im never going to expect anything "GOOD" from Cloverworks again. They keep making us disappointed especially with that Promised Neverland S2. SMH! |
 . |
| Against my best intention on trying to appreciate the story as a mystery in crescendo, it quickly went downhill into the abyss of a pipe dream. And not in the good artistic way, but the non-sensical one. This is the perfect example on how an "ending" taints the entire course, and funny thing it ain't even an ending. The amount of bs that comes outta nowhere is just too much and I don't think even a s2 would redeem it. For me, it only keeps some score for the artistic value tbh |
"The sun rises today and sets again. A flower that bloomed in the morning, falls from its stem. The sun sets today and rises again. Flowers bloom to fill the land, but not the flowers of yesterday..." |
| I kinda liked the recap part of it, though yeah it might suck for people who are watching it back-back. This episode definitely gave more room for a potential S2 if they are wanting to go down that path, i'd support it and I think it would make more sense to do so (and the fans would enjoy it more). |
   Has a 8.60 mean score Akasaka > Other Mangakas  |
| What the hell, nani sore?? Like what the heck did I just watched? Why did they have to mess a masterpiece just like that? Nani???? |
it’s never too late for life ... to go horribly wrong. . . afff~  |

Given the production issues and there being a recap in the middle of the season, I kinda figured that what we got as episode 12 was never intended to be the ending, *this* was intended to be the ending but they didnt get it finished in time. Rather than it being new content created specifically in response to the reception of episode 12. |

I just dont think it was created specifically to 'fix' anything because what we got as ep12 was never the ending to begin with. |

| ep13 was a turd in a punchbowl. nuff said. |
| just an ol school otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either. |
| Some way, somehow, I feel so reassured – and vindicated – to have dropped any hopes or expectations for this series by the time Frill's episode dropped, but I still had to watch this, if only to end the cycle and put this stinging disappointment to rest. It was buried with military honors. Always rein in your crazy and actually-very-symbolic-if-you-look-deep-enough-for-it-and-do-all-the-thinking-for-us ideas during the brainstorming phase of writing, kids. Otherwise, you get this: 12 episodes with completely different tones and themes pre- and post-recap plus a special ending with one half of its length dedicated to another recap and the other half dedicated to changing everything yet again, because "we have way too many inspirations and ideas to fit properly into a TV series". |
 |
| Are you kidding? I waited 3 months for that??? Nothing was explained, the main plot line got dropped for no reason, the characters were horribly inconsistent. Absolutely atrocious, I'm so disappointed. |
 my life was made with mematic. |
| Thank you CloverWorks. 3 months waiting for a new recap. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Kafka, Fu Xuan, Jingliu, Topaz and Huohuo. |
| 25 minute recap to a 45 minute episode, complete waste of time. The whole Neiru is a robot plot twist felt forced and completely irrelevant at this point of the story. |
   |
| The first half was a recap, complain complain, it's almost like in Japan it's been 3 months since the final episode was on TV and they might need one. Also the actually episode part was good, so the girls who they 'saved' are actually from another dimension, the pets were killed because I guess for it to happen its the pets or their own lives, probably part of why the two bros gave them to the girls. So she was a robot huh, explains the stabbing, also seems like she's gone to the other side. Happy with what we got, but hoping for a season 2. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| Welp, that was disappointing to say the least. I'm lost as to what happened and I don't know if I can watch anymore if a season 2 is announced. So sad. |

If the final finals were completely satisfactory to them, they would spend the day on it. This episode was initially meant to be episode 12 and broadcast with the rest of the season, but due to production issues, the studio had to delay one of the episodes during the season and air a recap in its place. This caused them to run out of broadcasting slots, hence the three-month delay of this final episode. In other words, they didn't make this episode because they were unsatisfied with the original ending and wanted to fix it. The original show never ended in the first place. It simply had its final episode, which was renamed as a special, delayed. |
| Man... Where is the whole Warriors of Eros have to defeat Thanatos go? Where's the climax? This isn't a bad ending because this isn't an ending at all. Post credit saying "the end" kills all hope for S2 or a movie, this is it. I am not a huge fan of the series but the perspective of a final showdown got me a bit excited, what a letdown. |
 |
| what a waste of time, skip first half if u wanna watch it |
FMmatron said: People actually believe that the final episode will be enough to fix everything? I underestimated the possibility to make a bad situation worse. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I needed the recap lmao but just wasted 45 minutes of my life cuz none of this seemed worth it. |
| This anime shit is addictive |
