| End felt SUPER rushed. and left WAY too many things unclear. Dragoon Toru? Fucking badsss. Poor Niva though. locked away forever. cant wait for the ova to see what happens |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| what a fucking terrible last few episodes, with this being the worst like holy shit it was absolutely awful |
ma_ko said: 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. ^^ She only lost memories of being Gaz's daughter. |
 |
| 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. |
| Rushed as hell but that was expected since its was 2 epsidoes short. Good series 8/10. Patiently waiting for the ova. |
| That felt like it ended so fast, would be better maybe if it had like 12 episodes. It was still good tho. First one of the season that I finished. I'm gonna miss this adventurous show. Toru finally became a dragoon knight. Fredrica got owned quickly again haha Left some unanswered questions about how things where left off but now that bad |
 |
| Same score as the first for me. Wasn't all too intrigued witht he show from start to finish. Making this season even shorter and rushed didn't do it justice either. 5/10. |
 |
| Final episode was too rushed, not a surprise ='/ Really loved this anime, gonna miss it for sure 07/10 Let's wait for the OVA. |
| I'm kind of in the same boat with everyone who felt the final arc was painfully rushed. I would have preferred them to do 12 episodes and finish on a better note. With that said, I still enjoyed the whole series. I wished it could go on for 12 more episodes. I'm hoping the OVA will better conclude the story. |
| After this finale, I must say that I am highly disappointed. The first season was a solid 8/10, but this... This barely gets a 5/10 from me. It was too rushed, the story was incoherent at times, and that ending was one of those short, rushed, everything way too convenient, throw it all between two pieces of bread and JAM it together into one big sloppy I could have done better but I didn't want to try sandwiches. |
| Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me. |
| Definitely as good as the first season, not dissapointed at all. With a kiss between Tooru and Chaika my score would have been 10/10, sadly, it didn't happen. Can't wait for the OVA. |
| And now it's over. I'm kind of sad though because I really enjoyed both seasons of this anime. I think that season 1 was a bit better, but this season was still decent. The ending felt just as anticlimatic as I was expecting it to be, which is fine. I didn't expect them to be able to pull off an amazing ending with only one episode left. They didn't really explain what happened to Chaika, but from what I've read in this thread, it seems that she lost her implanted memories from being a Chaika. I wasn't expecting Gaz to be taken out like that though. Niva proved to be the ultimate troll in the end. It also wasn't very surprising that he didn't show any emotion when he was taken out. I don't think that it would have fit his character very well if he did. Overall, I'd give this season a 7.5/10. I'm rounding it up to an 8 for my list though. |
| What the hell just happened. Just. Okay? Is that really it? Jeez. Made my score go from a 10 to a 7. Would make it lower but I still liked the first part of this season. |

| pretty unremarkable and forgettable |
Octave_ said: Rushed as fuck. Haters gonna hate~~ It was rushed, but I didn't mind, I still liked this anime, both seasons too! Except yeah, this season was shorter......10 episodes only? :O Anyways......this was a cool ending, I mean, Chaika shooting the crap out of her "father", and then Red Chaika kicking the living shit out of Black Chaika? LOL! That was pretty funny......and brutal lol. But I mean, this was a nice anime series, really enjoyed the characters, the action, the magic! It was all pretty decent and well worth the watch. So can't wait for the OVA's, I heard it's gonna be a swimsuit type episode? White Chaika in a swimsuit? Yes please~! :D OH! But.....so did White Chaika lose her memory? Or....... |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| Disappointing. This was a 7/10 before. Have to knock it down to 5/10. They really needed more episodes. Is Chaika still "Chaika", does she not remember, is it like shehas amnesia? Seems that way since she talked normally when she said thank you. Should have explained it |
 |
| This was to be expected since the first season did not have enough DVD sales. 8/10 Should have stopped at first season. |
 |
| On one hand, I like that it's finished and they didn't just let it trail off like so many others. On the other, I'm also a firm believer that if you know you can't do it right, don't attempt to do it wrong. This season, while occasionally fun and providing some level of closure, was disjointed as heck. Some episodes felt too slow for what they were attempting, while others ran pretty much like an summary instead of the actual story. They appear to not even have had it in them to try and do a through-the-credits epilogue, which would have helped immensely. Oh. And: Red Chaika. New outfit. Like. |
| Overall the series was alright. Wish the 2nd season was longer than 10 episodes, but what can we do... 6/10 from me. |
 |
| Quite busy end, many battles and rapid development, but everything as expected, nothing very surprising, but I enjoyed seeing Tooru very strong and Chaika sacrificing himself to kill the emperor Akari again did not have great highlight, but for me she is the best girl in the anime, and how it was badass in this episode also  I Expected to see a little more after defeating the emperor, but already gave you an idea of how the story follows The anime has some good aspects, but has some negative too, is a good story for anyone who likes fantasy and adventure, surprised me positively in general, then I indicate to those who enjoy these genres .. |
  |
| Yeah, it was rushed. I felt like they could've played the chaika-losing-memories-part at the end with so much feels, haha. Oh well, I can use my imagination and fill in the blanks. It was a good story. |
| That was a really great series. Im a little disappointed that Shin never went Iron-Blood Transformation because I just wanted to see that overwhelming power difference but Toru using his mind to open himself up and then attack was very Toru-ish so its acceptable. And lol at the end with Akari writing a novel between the love of 2 Sabateur siblings and it merely being the prologue. 10/10 for the series. |
 |
| The plot element I was so pained to see never happened was the fact that Gaz turned out to be a one-man Industrial Revolutionary. Seriously! This dude... man, he developed genetic engineering, long-range laser cannons, space stations... holy shit! So wish this was 12 episodes, this is the kind of final battle that needed at least 3 episodes to do properly, but I guess that's the financial reality of the show... |
ReaperCreeper said: I preferred the 1st season, this would have benefited from being slightly longer. This. I don't have much else to say. The entire series ranged from mediocre to good at times. It was fun to watch though. |
| Meh that felt like a cop out ending; Niva suddenly turning on Gaz made it really anti-climatic 6/10 The show had its moments. |
| Wow, a lot happened. Needed 22 episode. Fredrica is the most unappreciated character. |
 |
| Not enough Fredrica. |
| "Niva has personality." - Ends up stuck in gundo mode imprisoned in a glass case. Thanks for saving the world. A good series overall 7/10. I'll miss Chaika. |
 |
| Wow so rushed (though expected). I can understand why most people are confused. However what I can gather are these: - Guy is some sort of projections from the floating castles in space. - Niva couldn't shoot Chaika because she was the one who activated her in the first place - Chaika ran out of bullets so in the end had to use her own memories to power Niva's last shot - Chaika lost her memories and is rehabilitating with Toru. Hopefully someone who has access to the last LN volume would be able to clear things up in the future but I believe that's what happened anyway. Still, the 2nd season had been a thrilling journey despite the single blip that is this final episode. The mystery and plot twists were well-kept until the end and it's such a shame that this couldn't be dragged in to a much more deserving 12 or 13 episodes. Normally only comedy or SoL shows get 10 episodes. 9/10 for the whole series. |
 |
| Cannot beloved Chaika is over. Wished for 2 or even 3 more episodes T__T |
| Sure, it was rushed in places, but I still enjoyed it. The story of Chaika has been a fun ride throughout, and that goes for this final episode too. |
| "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34 |
| The moment I saw that the second season was only 10 episodes I figured it'd be rushed. To be fair, it did pretty well all the way up to episode 10, and even then it wasn't as if a whole lot was missing (unless LN readers indicate otherwise, it was fairly smooth). The ending itself was satisfactory, I think. It's back to peacetime, and everyone lived to see the day. This series definitely did a pretty good job in terms of execution. None of the world setting went to waste, and just about every bit of thread that was left was picked up by the end (at least I don't remember any plot hole that was left)...which can't be said for a lot of series out there. Kind of sad that it went by rather quickly and probably could've been a lot less anticlimactic in the last few episodes, but overall still a pretty above average piece of work, art, soundtrack, characterization, plot all considered. 8/10 in my book. |
| I grant it a 7/10, it was pretty solid overall just that the ending was super rushed. The ending left me with a few odd questions which I hope the OVA will answer. Gaz spends and entirety of 21 episodes to get his plan together and everything goes to shit in less then 21 minutes, the final boss have it bad as always. Edit: Toru's Dragoon mode reminded me of .Hack's Haseo in many ways. |
| wish this was a bit longer at least 2 more eps felt rushed but seeing as how it could of ended up far worst i think they rapped up everything decently,7/10 almost a 8 for the series Shocking Truth!~ never forget! |

| So that's the end of Hitsugi no Chaika huh? Kind of sad. I really enjoyed both seasons. It was definitely an underdog show that's for sure. It did feel rushed at the end, but at the same time it was good for the time allotted, and it showed enough stuff to make it satisfactory. First and foremost we got Toru making the contract with Frederica and turning into a boss. Though I guess by renouncing his title as saboteur he lost the ability to use iron-blood transformation. Oh well, he beat that Shin guy's ass. Next best thing we got to see was Akari using iron-blood again. We got it once last season, and I was really looking forward to seeing it more this season. Especially since they show it all the time in the OP. We got it once in episode 1 this season and pumped me up, but we didn't get it again until this episode. Nonetheless I'm glad we got to see it at least one more time. Gillette retired after that. Handed over the reigns to Nikolai, though I'm sure there wasn't much fighting that needed to be done anyway. Kind of disappointed we didn't get to see Vivi x Gillette sailed ship at the end. Niva didn't transform back. I wonder why? But at least her Gundo form didn't break. Chaika was still alive thank god. Red Chaika still being a tsundere. It looks like Chaika using that big ass move to kill Gaz affected her memory to the point of almost crippling her. I'm just going to assume that it consumed most of her memories since we don't see her say anyone's names. We only get a thank you. Akari also mentioned that she happened to feel well enough to walk that day, but she stumbled a bit. I guess overall you could call it a happy ending. Thanks for the adventures Chaika. S1 = 9/10 S2 = 8/10 Cant wait for the OVA. Anime original stuff. Looks super fan service heavy. |
| Good overall, i guess. Ending way too rushed, though. :( feel bad for Niva, being locked up in a cage in her gundo mode. And she's still latched onto Chaika's gun, i see. |
| Loved this anime. Toru making a contract with Fredrica was bad ass. I also like how Red Chaika stayed with them after it all ended. 9/10 |
| If this series had 12 hell even 11 I think it would have had a better ending. I enjoyed the series, just wish it had a better ending. 7/10 |
 |
| Like just about everyone else here, ending feels rushed. Still a solid series though. 7/10 for both seasons. |
| "People die when they are killed" - Emiya Shirou |
| Aw it's over ;_; Great ending to an overall awesome show. Didn't really feel all that rushed to me, just wish it was longer. 8/10, same as first season. |
| wow gay |
