Giving up coins to Shuuichi, I thought that would be the end of them. At least give me a rape scene wtf. Shuuichi looks strange maybe the necklace is the cause, Have you never cleaned your own house? I love that hug. I think the last episode will have a rape scene with Claire, I'm disappointed. I think the last episode will have a rape scene with Claire, I'm disappointed.
Who is the Bitch? I like the kick in the pool. Amazing fight, Elena turns into a black shadow? Shuuichi's memory has returned, At least Elena did not die from a gun, xD. Closed by a trip to the mountain? Not bad either.


The necklace has nothing to do with it. Shuuichi doesn't notice his messed-up house and his parent's abscence because he's still deluded by Elena messing with his memories. Plus, the necklace was taken off in that same scene.

Also, we did not need to know about your rape fetishes, thank you.

I still going to give this a 10 because i understand they ended it in a basic cliff hanger. But if you keep that that aside the fighting and the character development is pretty good.

"There is an incredible story being played out in this town. And I'm not the main character. Maybe I should step off the stage of this story and return to a normal life."

wtf. This show makes no damn sense.
If there is an incredible story, TELL IT, instead of being all "haha sike, nothing mattered."

The last two episodes basically came out of nowhere and made no sense.
What a shame that the show had the potential to be interesting, but basically had no idea what story it wanted to tell, so it tore itself up at the end. Poof!

Nice episode, that Elena vs. Shuichi and Clair fight scene is so good.

For me, Gleipnir is actually one of the best anime this season. Hope that it will get a 2nd season.

So this is an anime original episode? That explains why it's a little bit lacking on the closure.
The story overall is interesting, a lot of mysteries and questions but the pace is kinda slow. I rate it quite high because i absolutely love the OST ever since i watched the PV, the action and animation is a welcome surprise as well.Then again, i don't know if i should recommend this because i'm not sure people would enjoy this show as much as i do (i'd definitely check the manga).

Well, it wasn't horrible that's for sure. I think this show could be something special if maybe played out differently, right now it's confusing.

This anime is amazing , everything the story is new , flashbacks are awesome with goosebumps of course , character development feels like parasyte , it deserves at least 8,5/10 rating , I've watched tons on animes and it's been a long time since I've seen a good one , the best this season IMO , and the ending is so awesome and it tells us...the story is yet to be finished.

Weird and confusing. The characters in this adaptation aren't that good enough to make me care, the direction cut here and there with little connection between them. I'm not sure what's the stakes and prizes are.

Thank you. I think Chapter 35 is a better start + recap imo.

Ngl this show got a lot better towards the end.

I really liked that last fight.

The music was phenomenal throughout the show.

The feral expression they put on Shuici's Mascot Monster's face was perfect for the situation, and it reflected their 'power up' quite well.

Very good series on the whole. I'm glad it tightened up the source story.

WTF is going on this season....

Kakugoto, Yesterday , ToG and now Gleipnir - all messed up the pacing, the endings and broke the plot....

Having said that it was a good finale leaving things open for season 2 or an OVA.

As others have said they killed off a character that's still alive in the Manga so I'm not sure how they'd progress that storyline.

I'll be generous and give it 7/10.

I've read the source and as others have said "start at chapter 35 and forget the last two episodes of the Anime" as the adaptation isn't too bad up to that point.

There's still so much I don't understand. What exactly happened to Honoka(if that's who the white girl even is)? What did Elena do the Shuichi that made him forget his past and why? And what's the All Might looking character(forgot his name) trying to do?

The last 3 episodes left me completely baffled. A lot of characters that hardly figured at all suddenly became extremely important to the entire plot. Gonna have to rewatch or even better, probably read the manga.

Where do that 2 years come from..


because most of the time this is a bare minimum how long it takes between seasons for manga (especially with monthly release) to make enough chapters/story for next season + time spend to make actual anime.
but easily it could be also 4 years like in case of One Punch man. ;)
Manga recommendation:
- Spy x Family (Ch.123/? - biweekly) | Sakamoto Days (Ch.229/? - weekly)

I dont get some of the low ratings this show has gotten, this anime was an absolute banger, although I'm not really all into action so maybe people that like action a lot disliked it for not having that much of it not sure. Im surprised how I liked a show with a furry cosplayer and tons of fanservice more than Tower of God.

A good episode, and the whole show has been great. An interesting concept, that the power comes with such a tragic history behind it.

I had to read ahead long ago, when they first met Elena, and I read the entire manga. This episode is not like in the manga, but that fine; anime is its own story. I liked it a lot.

I also always like these stories where they are in the Japanese countryside, out in nature under the hot sun, with the crickets in the background.

I consider myself a pretty big fan of death game anime/manga but unfortunately I couldn't really get into this one.


Pros:

  • Animation is surprisingly great.
  • OP/ED are amazing, especially the ED.
  • Interesting antagonists.

Sadly, that's about it for me. After the first 6 episodes, it started to go downhill. The MC is terrible. Even his progression sucks. Absolute disappointment, couldn't care less about his past. Claire is too much of a wild card emotionally to have any value besides fan service. All in all, it's okay.

This series made me feel a lot of things. The plot is great and truly a breath of fresh air in this 'fantasy/ shounen/ drama/' kind of anime type that haven't got a good entry since Mirai Nikki (my opinion). The problem with these type of show that has got a lot of thingw going on plot wise and all the subplots, is that it strives to be all at once, and maybe this works for a manga series but a 13 episdode anime doesn't work. The adaptation falls short in comparison with the source material and this leaves space to misinterpretations and contributes to bad reviews. Still the plot and the characters are great, the MC has a nice growth arc in wich he becomes more interesting and owner of his own story. These anime has 5 thrilling episodes that made me go from the sitting on the edge of my seat (due to the action) to fell the emotional load of the drama that runs throughout the story. Would definetely recommend the anime and the manga.

5 years is a minimal chance of year. If they considering the Manga popularity or BD selling rates are high. Lol.

Classic Shuuichi. Starting and concluding the series with at least one scene of him almost raping Claire.

Decent final episode. An open ending was more than obvious at this point so at least, I'm glad we got even a bit more info about Shuuichi and Elena's past as well as more insight into this "entity" that looks like Honoka which I gotta say, seems more complex than I originally thought. I was left kinda confused in that regard but guess it couldn't be helped since we only knew about her backstory one episode ago.
Anyways, I also gotta say how glad I was to see that good animation from ep. 2 returning during Shuuichi/Claire's fight against Elena. It was a somewhat short sequence but pretty exciting nonetheless.

Overall and to my surprise, this anime ended up being a rather entertaining ride. Visually speaking, it surpassed my expectations, especially the backgrounds art; OST was surprisingly good and catchy and I found myself feeling rather captivated by the mystery aspect surrounding our main protagonists.
Cast, on the other hand, was kinda bland in my opinion. Not that memorable aside from the main duo and Elena but luckily, the sense of tension surrounding these three and the curious chemistry between Claire and Shuuichi made up for it. Though truth be told, Claire's character mostly carried the show during the first few episodes.

6,5/10 -> 7/10 - Honestly, I didn't think I would say this when I started watching the show but man, a second season would be really appreciated.

I didn't even intend to watch this anime this season but the mascot costume design piqued my interest and I'm so frickin' glad I watched this! This is the best anime of the season, no doubt but it's really underrated too! There were a few episodes that were a bit dull but the twists, tragedy and action made up for it entirely!

I'm gonna keep my fingers and toes crossed for a season 2!

The fight scene was well done which was partially due to the ost with the choir in the background, some delicious animation and nice visuals - worthy for a finale. However, this episode gave us a lot of loose ends. Kinda unsatisfying and annoying but I guess it works since I really want to know what happened.. Why can't Shuichi tell her who she is? What does Elena tell her to make her think she is a monster? Did Elena kill his parents, just make them forget each other or what? What is this daycare with talented kids for alien-hogwarts wizardry? Why should the world end and Shuichi prefered this path?

Honestly, I almost gave up on this show after episode 1 but I am so glad I did not and continued. Main reason being: Claire. She saves the show and pushes the story forward in the beginning. She is outspoken, cunning and driven by a simple motive and thus, carries hard. Then Shuichi changes and more mysteries appear and I was hooked,

The 3 episode rule really is no joke. Sure, overall there are obvious weaknesses in terms of execution and I guess the budget of this show was not too great either, but it created interest. I do hope for a season 2 that can use this one in terms of content as a foundation.

Thought the first half was good, there was an actual story to follow, the 2nd half was just an arena for a battle royale which was disappointing, and then they shoe horned Shuuichi's backstory into the last 2 eps which was a bad idea. 6.

This sure was quite the different anime, the first episode of it really made me raise an eye brow to how strange and direct it was together with the rather synthwave ost that was only used here and for the ED while the series itself didn't had anything to do with it.

Together with the pacing and rather directness of things the pacing of the overhaul story changed quite often and especially near the end to also have a quite dark and different take was nice yet weird to then get presented with this kind of ending.

All up to this episode and ending was nice but I did have various moments were it certainly was quite weird too watch, even for me.
