well, it was fun to watch and stuff but... it was just incredibly gay. Not two-friends-holding-hands-gay, more like two-naked-guys-kissing-each-other's-genitalia-gay. nvm. fun to watch if u can tolerate that. waiting for sequel ; D

I felt like they added more of that in the anime than there originally was in the manga. Sure, it already had some, but... it's studio Deen. They have pretty much shoujo-ai and shounen-ai anime and are good in screwing up manga.

Well, for one I really liked this episode. Lovely MikageTeito and FrauTeito scenes. I'm not complaining about the fight with Ayanami really. It just leaves everything open for a season 2 so they can REALLY duke it out. God I want more. I love this series <3

9/10


Everything you just said.
Well I'm off to read the manga :3

Not as good as I would've hoped for a season finale, but not too bad. The fight with Ayanami ended just when it seemed to really get going and the military invasion seemed to end without accomplishing much. Still I enjoyed the episode and the ending although Teito grabbing Frau's waist to prove he's grown up is o.O Open-ended but leaves it at an interesting place, no more church and Teito passed his exam whilst Ayanami waits for him to lead him to Pandora's Box.

Overall I lean towards giving the show a six. I loved the non-Zaiphon animation, the characters, the voice actors (especially Shou Hayami, perfect voice for a villain), the premise, the OST, and the overall story even if the pacing ground to a halt more than once. The character designs were bishie but it's hard to argue that most of them, especially Ayanami, didn't look great or have a neat style.

I've never read the manga but it's obvious there was a lot of wasted potential with this series. The show was also literally pretty gay but I can live with the gayness as long as there's no kissing and no [imore running-and-jumping-into-another-guy's-arms-followed-by-twirling.

So yeah, I'd be up for a second season. Like I said, love the premise and there's a lot of potential. Maybe they can learn from their errors with a second season.

Fail. I didn't like this episode. It was boring, and quite anti climatic. The series gets 5/10 from me.


I agree, that was horrendous. I don't think I have ever seen a series with as bad an ending as that. I couldn't be any more disappointed right now and I wasn't even expecting much to begin with. They didn't resolve one freaking thing and then Teito, as if to tease us, even starts listing a bunch of things they left hanging!

This series really went nowhere from the beginning with the only notable thing happening is when Mikage died. Overall I gave it a 6 for Fine even though I really should give it a 5.

I find this episode little different then then the manga. ( yes I read the chapter before reading the sub for this epsidoe). Um I think i need to go back and re-read the chapter.
I give this epside a 50/50 half was ok and was bad. To bad the episode was low quality.
I couldn't get much screen shot.

noteDhero said:
Pretty stupid episode. Totally nonsensical. They mention Pandora's Box and don't really say anything. Teito get's a ridiculous power out of nowhere, and then they abruptly end the fight and do lots of flashbacks, recycled retrospect, and cgi. And, just to be clear, they gayed up Labrador with feathers or fur, and of course Mikage, Mikhail, Frau, and Hakuren x Teito.
Overall, the show could have been good without the ridiculous amount of filler and lame fanservice. I feel like they're inching toward real plot so if there is a sequel, I'd probably watch it. Want to give it a five, but nothing really happened over 25 weeks.
4/10

Indeed, nothing happened in the first season. The last episode was simply "wait for the second season"...It had probably the slowest plot progression I have seen in anime....

I agreed I keep for getting what is this episode was about and for this season I think its about overcome darkness and moving on. But I feel like DEED left it like that because maybe one day they will pick it back up again. ANd talk about the box and stuff that should be in season 1.
DeathfireD said:
This episode felt way to rushed. One second we're in the middle of a heated discussion about Pandora's box and the next moment Taito shoots light out from his stick (no pun intended) and there's a 40 second "fight". I wasn't pleased with this episode at all. It didn't feel like a season ending nor did it even feel like a full episode. I surly hope that if they make a second season they don't make crap episodes like this again.

Yeah I thought its was me thinking like that.

so from an anime view point it did end pretty well. wasn't to many loop holes and they kept really close to the manga except the last 2 eps..

although the series was so stretched out.. I bet it could have been 20, or maybe even 16 eps long -_-

This series has been cool, 8/10 because it has a fresh feeling to it, albeit it had some cliche frienship moments and I will beat the bad guy, the producers were able to make it well. This last episode I believe has had a decent ending to an ongoing series, it leaves a hint of a cliffhanger and shows poignant feeling towards Teito's new master! Good series left off with a cliffhanger and us hoping for a second season.

So um, there has to be a second season. I thought the first season was a good opening to the story but it ends where it should just be beginning. Teito's developed quite a bit but the plot has gone no where, there's still so much left to be resolved and Teito's true journey is only beginning. At least that's how I felt at the end of this episode. Looking forward to season two as season one was good, it just felt like a season long intro.

5/10 for the series for me.

The art is good, just that the explosions and the zaiphon's were a bit overdone that it looks really out of placed. It would of been better if it was more natural. There was also a little bit of blood, or censoring of killing.

The sound is good, good opening and ending theme song, especially how they execute it. However, some of the voicing was bad, like the girl kor. Also, when a sword or sythe slashes someone, it makes a slashing noise, but they block those out. It reminds me of hitman reborn of them punching someone without the punching noises.

The characters were mostly good. I love the art for all of them. I must say the three bishops, castor, labrador and frau were the best. They were well drawn, and i just like their character. Teito was ok, didn't really pique my interest as a character. Just an average main character, like sawada from hitman reborn (yea this series reminds me a lot of hitman reborn). They made the bad guys look badass too, which is good.

The story, was ok... It was slow at first. Actually it was really slow. They kept repeating the same thing over and the episode would only move forward by an inch. There was no climax to anything. Teito is just so indecisive that it makes the story not go forward. I mean they spent like an episode of him trying to figure out if he should trust the church or not. And he goes not trusting anyone. He should read Bloody Monday and that'll show him that he's got it nice with the trusting.

Enjoyment was ok. It was a good series, actually, it had the potential to be. Maybe showing more of the 7 ghosts would be good. I gave it such a low rank because there was just so many fails in this series that i can't give it a good score. I came in with high hopes, and came out with a disappointment. Although I must admit, I like the way they ended the series. Left out a big open to season 2. Hopefully they'll do much better.

Skip the first 24 chapters if you've watched the anime. The anime kind of ends around halfway in chapter 25 (so it's covered basically half of the existing chapters that are out).

The anime must have followed the manga pretty damn close then. I'll likely read read them anyways just to look at the art, but thanks for the heads up on that.

Wasn't bad.
This series was handled nicely from start to finish.
Although nothin' awesome it was still good.
I give this series an 8/10.
Awesome voice cast; the animation may not be the best but the direction was good so it doesn't matter that the animation's lacking; although it kinda faltered with the couple last episodes, but I've overlooked that. The music's great too. Love the ED a lot.
It would be nice to get a second season. :']
If not...I guess I have another that I need to put in my to-read manga list. Lawl.
Glad I finally finish the series. :'} Yey.

Edit: But I'm basing this to the anime only since I haven't read the manga. Once I do read the manga, I'll see what the right score for this series would be...

Not as great as the episode could have been executed. Rather anti-climactic really. Instead of getting an epic fight, Ayanami retreats like a little pussy. How disappointing. :(

Not to mention the open-ended conclusion to the 07 Ghost anime. I feel it's kind of infuriating, especially since it was going to get good and then it just ends right there. A second season would be nice to see, especially since they ended it in a way that suggests a second season for the anime.

Kind of a disappointing ending, but overall I enjoyed watching this series. I'll have to start the manga.
This anime gets a 7/10 from me.

I'll just go a summary and say some stuff abut the last 4 episodes (22-25) since I was without internet during the o so late watching of these last ones.. So here goes then

First of all, 22:
So, Teito learnt of a bit more of his past.. Not something really interesting though.
23: And here we got to see how Teito (and Hakuren, and that other whatever-his-name guy) bested that bridge of whateverness.
24: Now then, time for Real Ayanami. And Kuroyuri is really annoying, as usual.
But, I lol'd when Teito went "Shut up, shut up, shut up!", I instantly thought of Shana's "Urusai, urusai, urusai!", even though Teito didn't use the same word for it : p

Last episode, 25:
How.. Not Unexpected this ending was, huh? Although I think I would've prefered to see Ayanami dead by the end of the episode (or Teito dead, for that matter, I don't care), that would've at least led to an ending that was directly unsuitable for a sequel.. I'm not sure really, Do I want a sequel or not? I mean, as much as I hate endings that are not followed up, it could probably be fine like this?
Also, funny how Teito lent a hand to Mikhail in the end.. Or something like that.

Anyway, tl;dr, Teito actually grew up a bit throughout this, and Hakuren's one of my favorite characters, Frau being the other one.
And the collar Teito has still annoys the heck out of me xD.....
I think I'll still give this a 7/10, since it wasn't bad, and it wasn't awesome either, although it had some potential, once upon a time...
And I probably have to read the manga to get some kind of conclusion to the whole thing?

OH AND BTW, too goddamn much Mikage was too goddamn much, seriously, he's gotta have been the worst/most annoying/most despicable/etc. character of this show, I hate him, period.
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

That fight was completely nonsensical, where did they pull that hax and those bright lights from? Just, what. Disappointed, I am. I feel shafted on canon information, like Rita Skeeter =/= beetle, /nerds out.

And from looking at this series just as it is, the conclusion is kind of dumb.

D'awww, too bad Hakuren stayed behind D: He > Teito, so it's not like I want to watch another season of Teito WITHOUT Hakuren being there to compensate x__X AND CASTOR, GOD DAMN IT. Best thing about this series. But Frau will be there. I can manage.
Man, the best quote of this episode is 'And you're so bright you're blinding as you burn through my eyelids'. WHAT.

I liked the music, that's true. Full version of OP really set the mood for the fight, and then that pretty song x3
A good ending (missed moment of awesome because Ayanami just went 'RETREAT', but I loved the part when Teito and Frau flew away on the hawk thingy) to a very mediocre series.

I thought that it was a pretty good ending. I had a hard time getting myself through the first half of the series but once the action started to pick up, I found myself enjoying it more. I especially liked the art and the music in the series, both of which were simply amazing.
I suppose what I didn't like about the ending is that the bad guys got away and that it didn't really end on a solid note for me. I'm hoping there's a sequel.
I gave it a 7/10.

Wow! 07-Ghost is actually a pretty decent anime, but the last episode kinda ruined it. BUT it was sooo cute!

Damn it! i miss mikage, and how he showed up was adorable! (OK i admit it was a bit gay but so what?) Even if im a big die-heart fan of shounen-ai, i dont like the pairing between frau and teito. dont ask me 'why the hell not' >:( cuz i wont answer!
But anyway, considering the ending, i say they can still make a second season, they have somehwhat enough chapters.

I'm quite at a lost o.o I feel like I'm not getting why Ayanami retreated and Teito had to rush getting out of the church...?
Anyhow,
The battle between church people vs Barsburg army was cool and decent. I was pretty excited at the beginning with the flash of light and all but then...>_> haha not as epic as I thought it would be.
Teito and Hyakuren moment! Gyaaah!!! >.< Ripped my heart. Hyakuren is my fav character!....s-so it was heart wrenching (>___<,) Why they have to be separated!? Why!?!?! *sobs*
Ahh Teito and Frau moment...wow XD Totally loving it~ With the requiem in the bg and the (amazingly nose-bleed-moment) hug <3 Just awesome. Talk about fanservice at the last moment.

With all that ranting, I have to say the ending is well done. Just right to make a 2nd season.

This is super interesting/disappointing episode.
I feel like the whole thing is like an introduction to a second season or something. If this is all that is for the anime then it was no good, if it was really an introduction for a future second season then it OWNS.

I think I'm started liking Lance too.

And this Teito/Frau moment made me go all awww-ing if anything it made this episode alot better!!

I thought I'd really downrate this series once it's done.

So far.

10/10 and made it to my favorites, enough said.

Damn I'll miss Frau, I guess rewatching this isn't a bad idea after all.

It so makes me wanna read the manga and that's what i'm going to do. But i'll wait 'til i can buy the first volume and then i'll start reading. The story is awesome and the characters too. I love Frau and Teito. <3 And i want to know more about Teito's past of course.

So anti-climatic and the pacing of the series was really slow. I love bishounens but I'm not a fan of shounen-ai. Gah. I hope it redeems itself if there's going to be a second season.
