Did the studio run out of money or something?
They saved what little money was left to transform Tokyo Tower into a mechaloid but wow, we haven't seen a partially animated episode like that for years, years! Ever? Has there been a worse partly animated episode which aired in recent memory? Wow... I thought they were going to end the season there, why have episode 12 after that half animated farce?


At first I thought the crunchyroll player was suffering from framerate problems or lag at the beginning. Then the OP started and it looked like normal when it came back after that I felt like getting shoved a beta version of this episode

So many high and low animation quality was presented here and some scenes were censored as well

The "Bible Black" reference pointed out by other forum users previously was spot on here when they tried to merge Lucifer with Cecil
Luficur was already on earth in the form of Moyoyon

Poor Shizumu meeting his death by the hands of his own father when he finally choosed the right path

The Mecha battle at the end was awesome for the first time

Very nice PowerPoint slide show with voice acting.

The more I think about this the more hysterical it gets.

SHIZUMU'S DEATH SCENE!

Shizumu is holding Cecil
BLAM!
Shizumu is flat on the ground.
Cecil seems mildly concerned about this.
Shizumu: "Arg, I'm dying. Bleh"
THE END.

Also, I feel obliged to add this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzyd91NFx-Y

My sentiments exactly...

I also found this episode hard to follow at times. Er, it's pretty sad since I didn't think this series was all that bad.

I thought it was just a bad copy of the video that I was watching, guess not.
This series continues to amaze me with its weird plot, weird characters, weird robot battles, weird errything.
This seemed like anime of the year cause it was "Canadian wizard lawyers with mech battles and Satan", but then somehow they made that not cool.

What happened to the animation, frozen images, close up, and the sound was still the only thing that remained was to imagine what was happening, a horror, animation had been very good and the anime was quite acceptable but this ruined chapter 10 previous episodes worst I've seen in a while.

I thought it froze a few times.
Looks like some scenes were impressively animated though.
The plot got all weird

Wow, I can't believe I waited a week to watch the last two episodes together and missed this masterpiece rofl. I feel really bad for those that were actually invested in the series and wanted to see these important plot points done well.

such people exist ? I sure regret watching this anime to the end. I should've dropped it on episode 1 because I already felt then it was gonna be bad ...
Oh well I've learned my lesson for this spring season :)

Was it just me or was the ending fight sort of like Iron Man 1 where they flew up really high and the bad guy's machine fails and he falls? lol

I feel like this face is something I should see in Space Dandy.

As others mentioned, this episode was pretty disappointing for me. I was honestly hoping for something big happening, and that Moyo and Cecil really would become one, that would have been interesting. Instead we got an anticlimactic end with Shizumu doing what he was obviously going to do the minute Cecil gave him that charm.

Ah well, I got too see my favorite character turn into an ugly demonoid for about one second. I'm actually surprised she didn't get all pissed that she wasn't able to become one with Cecil.

Also at this point, I realize I was definitely wrong about those things not being mechs. I've definitely never seen flying, hand-driven golems.

anybody else feel like this episode was a page out of Demonbane with those Mech wings & fight scene?

On another note, while the animation was bad,(and killed off my love of this series) what I truly cannot accept is the lack of proper time management. the most unnecessary scenes were done perfectly, but the ones that would have actually made this episode good were just... unfinished.
yep. I Have no idea what I'm doing, but I enjoy my life all the more because of it.

Ouch, the animation took a nose dive. It really made some of the important scenes difficult to understand. The death scene was terribly done, verging on humorous.

LOL @ the poll results. So this is where the low score comes from. I was enjoying this series up until this episode. I don't even know if I can finish it now. I'm intrigued by the thought of Cecil defending the man who threw her life into disarray, but everything else was a sucker punch and it hurt like hell. Wow first Galilei Donna and now this. I think depending on the final episode this could plummet from what was an easy 7 to a 4-5.

Edit: Reading these comments is too hilarious. I was seriously going "WHAAAT?" when Shizumu got shot and he was laying there but making thumping, crawling, struggling noises and what not.

Been put on hold for a while and now back to finish this show...

So Moyo is Lucifer? Okay... Isn't asking for Cecil to defend Makusu a confilct of interest? Maybe Makusu wants to blackmail her into the retrial she wants for her mother?
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

What hapened to the great action scenes I'd seen in the beginning of the anime?! This episode was awful, imo.

That was one of the most terrible rushed arsed jobs I have ever seen.
I thought that Naruto episode was bad. But atleast they animated everything.
But this one wow. I thought I got a bad copy, but the subs and sound were running smoothly.

No idea what went wrong with the during production, but to air this in such a state is inexcusable.

Missing scenes, rehashed scenes, using zooming to add effects to a picture. Scenes that just didn't belong in the sound.

I expected more from animation and drawing style that is similar to Kite and Mezzo Forte.

I hope the DVD and Blu Ray releases at least will have the full episode touched up.

For a moment, i thought that my pc was running slow... fortunately (for me) it was (only) one of the worst episodes of the anime history. God. Just terrible.

I heard the reason why this episode was "unfinished". They didn't made the deadline (This is already announced by them).
They're working on Episode 12 as we speak and gave it some more priority than Episode 11.
So let's hope they'll make the deadline for the final episode!
All of this will be fixed in the BD version ofcourse~

- インデックスの女神


It seems the whole thing was indeed fixed in BD because i am watching BD and i got here and i was wondering what people were talking about. It seems my version hasn't got the problems seen by everyone here.
Too bad it aired with problems. If it aired like in the BD i am watching it seems it would have a better score since most people saw the TV version.

Well, this show certainly ramped up the pace of the plot!

And the fighting seemed to end on episode 11, unexpectedly!

But then there's one last twist that's...pretty darned unique to this show! Makusu is asking Cecil to defend him???

Also, I'm surprised how negative of a reception this episode got. The show finally got really good in the past three episodes!

Edit: I read up on the TV Tropes article for this show and apparently the original episode 11 was horribly animated, but this was fixed for the home release. Fortunately I got to enjoy the latter version.

Whooo! Shizumu died? O.o
One shot and he is dead
and they even don't show this scene?
Makusu asking Cecil to defend him? Seriously? o.O
I think Makusu shot him twice (or more) actually. He staggered back up after the first shot.
