| 4/5 Anime is not earth-shattering, but at least compared to all those transposed to the JRPG, it was nice to follow as far as the plot, the story was not bad. OST is very good, fabulous ending. Characters poorly characterized, it is focused too much on Alka leaving behind the rest of the cast. Decent as a series, the final vote of 6.5/10! |

| I.... still.... don't get it....... Okay, I mean I get the gist of the plot, but in the end it is still so damn confusing. Jin was a hero, Jin died, got resurrected and was a vessel for Impurities, killed Alka's teacher and starts conquering the world. Alka is an assassin for hire who is out for revenge. For some reason, she has a butterfly mark that allows her to cleanse impurities? Then everything else is about how Jin or Alka F'd up the world and everyone else is out for revenge of some sort against the two of them. Was that the whole plot? The story pretty much ended on a "WTF" note. I'll watch the last episode just to round things off, but I'm seriously not expecting much. |

| Jin/Alka fight had some really good music. I came across a pleasant surprise while searching for it on YT - Jamie Christopherson (Metal Gear Rising) did a track for the B&S game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPqN0UFi-4g |
| Karen's revenge almost cost them all their lives. I'm glad Roana called her out on that. At least this fight between Jin and Alka was much better than that last one. How in the hell did Ron end up broke, beat up, and a beggar? I'm glad Alka is living now, but can she at least change clothes. A 13th episode? Why? Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| How the fuck was that not the final episode? |
| well depending on how the last episode ends i guess there is the possibility of a second season with jin and possibly alka again |
| Don't scare me, please. I've had more than enough with one season... |
| Seems I was right in that they were saving their animation budget for the final battle. Very good duel with fluid moments and a great soundtrack. The only thing I really want from this show is to find out why Jin sees things the way she does and her connection to Alka. |
| What's the song called that starts at 18:41? :O Edit2: Nevermind found it. The title is Fly Into The Sky. It almost drove me mad because I kept finding "Kun Theme (Character Creation)" which is not quite like the one used in the anime. For starters it's slower and it doesn't use drums. Here it is, for everyone else who likes it: https://soundcloud.com/paradoxicaltimelord/blade-soul-original-soundtrack-the-story-track-02-fly-into-the-sky Edit1: Phantom said: The only thing I really want from this show is to find out why Jin sees things the way she does and her connection to Alka. Jin and Aruka appear to be both off-springs of the Tsurugi Clan. Both seem to be very resistent towards impurity because of their inheritance. The main difference seems to be how they grew up. Jin is trying to fight her inner good over and over. It feels like Jin identifies herself with her dark side more, however she wants to keep fighting, because she wants to lose to her inner good. That's the reason she wants to fight Alka. Because Alka reminds her of her inner good, which Jin killed so many times in the past. Jin wants to lose to Alka to be her former good self again. |

| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |

Roana wanting revenge on Jin costed them lives of at least 50 of her followers. But they were just nonames, it's fine they died. But 2 named characters getting in danger because someone else wants revenge? Unforgivable. Worthy of speech. |
| i can't beleive there is one more episode that fight scene was fucking terrible its 2014 there better fighting in anime from the 80's more like comical arts instead of martial arts |
 |
| Yeah that felt like an ending to me, but not yet...maybe dealing with the other inpurity user? |
 |
| yes they finally brought back the fight scenes if this anime had more fights n less crap this would have been great |
| I have no fucking clue what just happened in the first 10 minutes. Alka just standing around not even gonna draw her sword while the other 3 are protecting her ass. Then it flashes over to the scene on the cliff. wtf why did Ran revive Jin and then try to kill her? Took awhile to realize this was a recent flashback. Then Alka finally draws her sword at the last second. Anyway, amazing, but really weird series. Deserves a good 8/10. The OP was really good, but just not memorable. I love how upbeat it is with the staccato piano. |
~my list
| lol.... they should rename this shit to Guilty Blade and Crown of Soul |
 |
| Waaahh/ I thought Alka will kill Jean for real. But nice one :D She's a real person now XD |
 - barely alive - |
| Seriously, there are so many unexplained things and cliches in this anime. I'm not surprised with the bad last battle and that Alka in the end did not kill Jin. |
 |
| This was nice but this felt like the ending and with one episode remaining I do wonder what that has to offer, I do hope it's not fanservice or it would just ruin this show even more... |
 |
| Pretty cool fight scenes. Couldn't care less about the story in this anime anymore and apparently neither could the creators. Nothing is explained. Motives don't make sense. There really is no plot to this series. Just... stuff happens. It's probably the worst anime I've watched and enjoyed. So that's saying something I guess. |
| I don't need no instructions to know how to rock! |
| So how is this series not finished yet? |
| Hmm, this felt like the finale, so I wonder what they're going to show in episode 13. Really good episode, tho, kinda gave me chills. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The final showdown between Alka and Jin was pretty good. |
 |
| The fight between Alka and Jin Varrel is intense! |
