| Wow, the chairman is a really nice person, huh. Treating all those who "died." So like, that was pointless. |
 |
| That ending was just a little too happy, and very rushed. I thought those two girls had died in the Romeo and Juliet play? Guess not. Overall this show had some good moments and interesting characters, but didn't have enough time to form a fully fleshed plot. Overall: 6/10 |
 |
| dat ending.... what happened???? Is this what Tokaku wished for? |
  |
| Apparently, there is supposed to be a episode 13... Anyways, wow.. I honestly don't know how I feel. I'm not sure if I like the ending or not... huh. |

| It says on AnR's manga page that it's still on-going so if that's to be believed then what we saw was just an anime original ending. There might still be chance to save AnR lol If this was really how it's supposed to end then I must say "what was that?!" I thought it was going to be an emotional battle but it turns out Tokaku-sword was actually Nio because of her ability as a shaman? Huh? Then in the end, Real-Tokaku stabs Haru and believes she died. Nope, sorry try again. Haru has....wait for it....TITANIUM RIBS! Huh? So Haru lived and we got to see everyone in the Black Class were all safe and happy. ... I like happy endings but this...this was just...my head hurts. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| The ending was just downright stupid. The first half was fine with Tokaku vs. NioTokaku, and Tokaku 'killing' Haru, but then the second half had to happen. Honestly the titanium ribs thing was just stupid. Hell why not just let Haru die cuz of titanium poisoning in her body since she never even noticed them since forever. And all the other assassins lived too...seriously. I'm pretty sure the Romeo-Juliet couple, Hanabusa, and Nio should have died. All that tension would for nothing. Overall the anime was about 7.5 (rounded to 8) and this ep was 6/10. |
 |
| This ending is bs. It ruins the entire series. 8/10 btw. Isuke sama is adorable. |
nunesrl said: Atikal said: dat ending.... what happened???? Is this what Tokaku wished for? it probably is, or maybe not...it was strange I think Tokaku wished that everyone be FORGIVEN and the org. did it, except for Takechi who only got several years in jail, I guess not even the org. could fully forgive her :( |

"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Aww that was a nice bittersweet ending. I have lots of mixed feeling about this anime but it was fun to watch. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| I see the ending and don't get it .__. |
 Not that I'm surprised, but bullshit writing all the way to the end. Never have I gotten less payoff from a happy ending, this isn't the kind of show you want or expect nobody to die, especially when a lot of them were given 'death scenes' for emotional value. Suzu was the only thing that saved this for me. |
 |
| ALL i have to say is fuck this show with this BS ending! i was sticking with it this whole time hoping for some kind of payoff but instead we got this "Ha you thought people were actually gonna die? nope!" 6/10 just because the EDs were the best damn part about this |
 |
AlexTheRiot said: I was like: WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED? They were never dead? Holy shit, I thought they were all dead... So... most of them aren't assassins anymore, they're just going to live their lives normally? I mean like... they trained all their lives to kill and then they just decide to live normal lives, OK ._. |
| An assassin show where no one dies, huh Well now I can only hope there will be more delicious Isuke-sama in the special. |
 |
| Idk how they are all alive, but whatever it was a happy ending so I'm happy. :) |

| Overall a mediocre yet enjoyable to watch show, but I'm sorry that ending was fucking bullshit. Fucking. Bull. Shit. I could deal with the whole Haru being miraculously alive and graduating since they were obviously going for a happy ending, but some of that was just...I cant even put it into words. Nio lived somehow...I GUESS that's ok. Hanabusa lived, I expected that. But then Hitsugi and Chitaru lived!?! I'm sorry what the fuck is with that? They were dead dead in their episode. Like kill confirmed. Then Banba all of a sudden gets rid of her split personality and becomes a normal person? Why? How is she suddenly sane enough to handle the real world? Apparently there is going to be a special episode at some point? Don't know what the hell it could be about. The anime was actually significantly better than the manga, so it's not like the anime missed something and needs to back track through an OVA. It's going to have to be an episode about post-class black. Basically we get to see everybody living their boring daily lives, and have no fight scenes, and have maybe minimum yuri. Yay. |
| These must be the most incompetent assassins I've ever seen. Mostly looking forward to the special for more Shiena screentime. Liking the most irrelevant girl is suffering. |
damocles943 said: But wait, all of their incompetence was because of the primer, right? lol it's like a cure all for bad writing.These must be the most incompetent assassins I've ever seen. |

| I think some of you are misunderstanding the ending of this anime. Tokaku was granted any wish she wanted because she survived the black class, so she turned back time to save the others. I know it's not the ending everyone wanted, but it does make sense to why they would chose this ending. |
| this show was not about some1 getting assassinated. it was about some1 trying to survive. all the assassins had only one target, that target's only protector didn't have the ability to kill until the later half. it would make sense that the "queen" would get new body parts, she has been hunted for her whole life. only thing that's weird is how Romeo and Juliet are still alive. especially Romeo since she drank Poison. |

Pretty sure its just the chairman and the clan (I don't even bother remembering) saving their arses for participating in this. Makes more sense. |

| Other than, you know, pretty much everything about this episode, there are a few things I don't understand. Why is "graduating the black class" such a big deal (aside from Haru surviving it)? They are only in their 10th year...which is like 1st year high school in Japan, right? It isn't like they finished their education? Banba's scene at the end didn't make any sense. Where was the character development or closure that allowed her to move past her split personality? |
| Just what I feared. A nonsensical ending that is way out of place for the mindless viewers. Also, where's the yuri/shoujo-ai?! YOU TRICKED ME! There was absolutely no romance present in the anime at all. |

All I can think of is: 1) Booby prize 2) Banba got knocked in the head really hard during her last moment (lel, idk someone else try) |

| WELP, gone from a 7/10 to a 6/10 don't get me wrong, it's nice and all to see everyone lived and is happy.. i'm all for happy endings.. but put them in where appropriate pls... going into this last ep i was hoping for a decent ending. sadly it was not to be. Monochrome said: ikr. and this wasn't exactly a show with a happy tone... there was blood, there WERE deaths... there were some confronting back stories... hell, even the colouring was dark.An assassin show where no one dies, huh GarLogan78 said: they explained this in a previous ep. they put haru in this class to see if she could survive all these assassins, with her primer (supposed controlling powers), to show that she had what it takes to be head of some clan. as for why it was in 10th year, who knows.. LOL. i have no idea, but i assume the timing is irrelevant here.Other than, you know, pretty much everything about this episode, there are a few things I don't understand.

GarLogan78 said: well i think in her backstory ep she got her split personality because of all the people attacking her, because with her original personality she was not the type to fight.. so at the end here, she comments that she doesn't need her darker personality anymore, because she doesn't need to fight . it wasn't that her darker side was controlling her, i think it was that she couldn't do the fighting herself, so she let the otherside come out so she could kill haru and get her wish. i'm pretty sure they were working together, they weren't competing for control of her body.Banba's scene at the end didn't make any sense. Where was the character development or closure that allowed her to move past her split personality? (LONg reply LOL, felt very talkative) |

Mogami-kun said: I'm conflicted. On the one hand, the ending was a total cop-out, but on the other hand, I'm a huge sucker for happy endings and got everything I wanted. That's exactly how I felt. It was just so forced and fake but I can't say I didn't enjoy the happy ending, so I'm happy overall. Snowiefall said: In the end i was happy to see Sagae is doing well as a construction worker, she was the best of the class in my opinion. Anyways 7/10 for retarded ending. Yes!! Seeing Haruki in the construction was the best, she's my favorite <3 |
| much worse than I expected but this anime seems fine after all good luck with 1k sales xD |

(LONg reply LOL, felt very talkative) Yeah, I understand /why/ the Black Class existed, but you wouldn't graduate from the school by passing the 10th grade. I know I am over thinking something that really doesn't matter at all for the show lol. I guess that Banba explanation is okay, but I just don't think mental problems brought on by constant childhood abuse go away that easy. But once again, this show never actually tried to do anything realistic. |
GarLogan78 said: yeah, despite how excited i was for this before it began airing, it wasn't as well written as i would've liked... idk why i expected so much really. i guess an education was the least of their problems while they were going through that.. haha. Yeah, I understand /why/ the Black Class existed, but you wouldn't graduate from the school by passing the 10th grade. I know I am over thinking something that really doesn't matter at all for the show lol. having said that, it's ok to think like this. these little things are the difference between average and great shows. a really great show would've taken these sorts of things into account! |
| |
| With a show about 12 assassins and one mark, you would of thought at least a single person would of died, but nope. I feel this is a bit of a cop out with the show, giving that happy ending over more of a gloomy one. Overall the show was pretty good, but the ability to make yourself look like someone else with Nio and everyone having a happy end for this one was a bit of a disappointment. Oh well at least Tokaku and Haru get to finally be together. |
My Candies:     |
| Things just stopped making sense to me after the cyborg.. lol I still don't understand why Haru ran at Tokaku with a knife lol Everyone survived?? Even Nametame?? She was injected with supposed to be lethal poison.. And they didn't even explain how she survived.. :/ |
 |
| I suppose they all lived, so all the dramatic stabbing and poison romeo juliet episode was troll.. ahhhh |
| Blehh pretty random ending. Didn't understand the characters motivations. 6/10 as a whole. |
 |
| Weird ending. The answer to the riddle is forgiveness? |
KumaKing said: Things just stopped making sense to me after the cyborg.. lol I still don't understand why Haru ran at Tokaku with a knife lol you know how they were talking about haru's 'primer' power to control people, so they wouldn't kill her? haru wanted to prove that she wasn't controlling tokaku. so she attacked tokaku. if she was controlling tokaku, tokaku wouldn't have let haru run into the blade and kill her ;o she would've dodged or something, so that haru would live. so by tokaku 'killing' haru, they proved that tokaku wasn't being controlled and that tokaku protected haru of her own free will and not because of the primer. EDIT: this sounds confusing but hope you get it LOL |
| |
| Just like Wixoss I don't think this is particularly good, but it was interesting enough for me to want to see what would happen next. All in all this was really rushed. |
 |
| I feel kinda trolled with this show and ending. I suppose it was alright that everybody lived but kirigaya got stabbed in the heart and namatame drank poison and kenmochi got shot with LETHAL poison directly. So its kinda like lol what?! how are you still alive? Well i suppose this show was entertaining enough even though it had a strange ending. 8/10 |
 |
| Haha wow, what a bullshit asspull. This show was the disappointing thing I've seen for a while and I really can't even bring myself to rate it anything near decent, so... 2/10 it is. Thank god it's over. |
