| The amnesia thing was predictable, but it still super pissed me off. It was okay, some funny moments and lots of [censored] gore. |

| I enjoyed this series for the most part but the last few episode felt rushed. Probably would have been better if this series was maybe 24 episodes. Still enjoyed it nevertheless 8/10 |
| What the fuck? It was like every shounen cliche put into one episode, very stupid and predictable. I couldn't be more dissapointed. 2/10 for episode (only because of decent music) 3,5/10 for the whole show Elfen Lied >>> Gokukoku no Brynhildr |
| Wow, this episode was especially bad. I hope there won't be a sequel. 6/10 |
| I feel like I just got slapped in the face by the animation studio for watching this show til the end. My god this was easily one of the worst shows this season |
 |
| lol rushed or not this show is sooooooooooooooooo bad. Kazumi, being on her deathbed (though she doesn't die for reasons I don't even know), can only think about having babies and dying a virgin LOL. I was actually laughing rather than feeling sad. awful just awful 4/10 |
| Not a very good adaption to be honest. It's almost impossible to cram so many manga chapters into 13 episodes and produce a good story. |

Shits like NGNL or Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou gets high notes as hell for their stupidity, but interesting series like Gokukoku no Brynhildr or Mekakucity Actors are hated, I don't get you people. 9/10 Dude , GnB , the anime , is like ......playing soccer without a middfielder and the goalkeeper....or if you dont know soccer .....it's like someone else does your math homework - the result is pleasing and satisfying but you dont know anything of it. |

| Rushed as hell. |
 |
| I don't think I'm watching another anime that ARMS makes... ruining a good story like this... just pls... The anime didn't explained anything in the end which left me wondering... I better read the manga. |
 |
| Well that was just terrible, one of the worst series I've ever watched. |

I was actually laughing rather than feeling sad. awful just awful 4/10 The reason she didnt die was explained a few episodes back, HAtsuna cant die and can revive 1 person a day. That's what happens. But yes, the adaptation was terrible. However, it was honestly BECAUSE it was rushed. The first half was at a pretty good pace, they did like 60-70 chapters in the first 11 episodes, skipping an entire arc of the manga that was like 10-15 chapters long I think, maybe less. I loved that arc and the character development it had. Episode 12 and 13 had like 35 chapters worth of content crammed into them. They rushed it so much they of course had to change 70% of it and make it terrible. I promise you, if they had the budget for 24 episodes to do it properly, it would've been awesome. Read the manga, it's great. Also, the reason Kazumi was thinking that is because she wants proof of her existence, a child. She was born into a world where she is treated as an object and Ryota is basically the first person to treat her as a person so she loves him and wants to use him to leave evidence she existed, since she lives a life where she can die at any time. Anyway, as a huge fan of the manga, I'm very very depressed about how much they rushed and changed this story. Poor Kana didn't even get her moment to really shine like the manga. |
 |
| Man I'm still angry. I've never hated any show this much before. |
| God. What have I just watched? That was horrible. |
| Shitty reindeer... No WOW... The worst thing ever existed.. congratulations... it made my eyes bleed. |

I was just like "what the fuck the last episode and this show isn't even trying" then again I can only blame my own stupid arse for watching the whole thing but w/e |
 |
| No matter how rushed this was, it was a good ending more or less. I see that the manga explains everything and all`s well there but here...I mean you get it don't you? I feel like the problem isn`t with how it is rushed but how it is acted out. They did not need to explain a lot but put a better effort in explained what they had time to explain here. Maybe that's just how I see it, nevertheless good Anime/Manga, really enjoyed it. |

| RIP Kotori |
| Wow, epic fail. 5/10 cose of the art. |
| Loved this series but that ending.... felt rushed as hell. I can figure out a bit of what happened but I wouldn't blame people being confused. Hopefully they make a second season and explain it n.n |
| Las firmas estan sobrevaloradas :P |
| I personally loved the whole series however I didn't read the manga so I should probably put that task on my to do list XD my heart stopped when Neko kissed Ryouta and it made me want to punch someone when Neko lost her memory again, needless to say many comments point for the fact that both Kazumi and Hatsuna some how are still alive at the end, which the anime doesn't explain how, oh well ^_^ still had a great time watching this anime :) |
| Good show. Encouraged me to pick up the manga and just catch up after each episode without going ahead. I was confused when they skipped a whole arc in the anime but I managed. Time to read up on the rest. |

pakoko said: Pros: 1. The adaptation ended with a 1-cour Cons: 1. Pacing; Any good anime adaptation wouldn't try cramming so much of the manga into just 13 episodes. The important parts were always rushed while the fanservice was drawn out -> ARMS got their priorities straight. 2. Character development; Call me heartless, but I felt nothing when all those girls "died." Nanami, Kotori, Kazumi, etc. Because 1) the deaths were rushed; 2) the reactions to these deaths were always the same; 3) I only got a superficial look at the girls' personalities (I don't know why Kazumi wants to have sex so badly, I don't know anything about Kotori as a girl besides being an airhead, caring about her friends, having the soul of ichijiku's sister, etc.) 3. Animation; I wouldn't say it's bad, but then again they didn't have many fight scenes to animate anyway... I don't want to go as far as call it lazy, but I really do. 4. Plot holes; Hatsuna can suddenly heal everyone even when she was hung up after saving Murakami. All this time the girls and Murakami always planned out their attacks carefully. We see in the last episode Kazumi and Neko, both hung up, just go straight to the enemy base without thinking of a plan -> not consistent. Like they were going to beat Valkyria with a hacker and a girl who can blast things. I won't go any further because I have yet to read the manga, but the anime ruins so much of the plot with its pacing. 5. Dialogue; As Kazumi dies, "It's sad that I'm dying a virgin." As Valkyria shows that she didn't care about the fact that she was being used, Murakami thinks "Man, these two deserve each other." Don't know if it was just poor translation, but the dialogue throughout the series was childish, poorly written, and ridiculous. 6. Unnecessary romance; Stop forcing the love triangle... Or any of love relationships (Chisato and Valkyria). No one cared about them the whole damn series since it's laughable that the girls even had time to think about these kind of things when their life was on the line every week or so. 7. Opening: LOL Most cases why some series are rushed is because of factors such as budget, scheduled time-slot, popularity, as well as production companies final decisions. It's a sad but true fact in the industry. |
| 3/10 |

| For all it's worth, this was a still a great ending finale to my personal favorite show of the season. [Too bad she lost her memories again after this http://i.imgur.com/Ee5ivO6.jpg but it was part of the plot all along. Great characters and music; I'm gonna have to read the manga after this. Absolutely amazing series. |

| Someone HAS TO DO a crossover with Murakami and Suzaku's kicks (Code Geass), please. What was this shitty ending btw? I mean, have they no shame? |

Kerozinn said: by far one of the worst shows this season that i have watched. 4/10 This. However, I'll be kind and give it a 6 because it did have some good moments. |
| I recommend the manga for those who didn't get what happened and I'll pretend these last few episodes never existed. |
| Rushed as expected. Liked this despite being generic 6/10. |
| Crapy ending for a mediocre anime. Neko forgetting everything in the end was predictable, that end battle didn't make much sense and it's very questionable how Kana could walk all of a sudden. |
| Amazing episode. Felt a bit rushed. I wanted more Valkyria vs Neko but w/e. Antimatter vs Micro Black Hole = EPIC. Neko losing her memories and Kana being able to move... HOLY SH*T. Kazu-chan is alive thx you. Poor Kotori you'll be missed. |
| A Story will always come to it's end. The thing is, will you move on after it's over? |

| This is a good example of how to fuck up a great manga. :) 3/10 anyone who's interested a little bit read the manga please cuz that's far more better than this can ever be |
 |
| Wierd, lots of unanswered question. *reads manga chapters which relate to the episode* Goddamnit , WTF were they thinking ? Someone on the production comitee must really hate the series to make this atrocity. Please, don't touch this anymore, screw second season. |
| I'm not sure how I'm going to rate this show....I enjoyed it, enough to pick up the manga and start reading it, and up to (at least where I am at in the manga) they followed it pretty well, but this ending felt rushed as balls......and Kotori died *sad face* Anyway......fuck it....8/10 |
 |
| Lol Chisato. Guy is riddled with a 1000 bullets, and he still lives long enough for a dying declaration of love. Lame. |
| I just made my rating drop because this was so bad! Everything was going well and then this episode came and just....f#ked everything :')! Sorry for my language but I'm so frustrated with this! The manga explains everything so well and is so good and this episode...changed everything relatable to the manga! They even skipped 2 really nice enemies.... If they made 24 episode's or just a second season they could've done everything properly! Just...why.... |
| My god that was rushed like hell LOL. Kiss b/n Kuroneko and Ryouta :D Amarrez said: >Kazumi just being alive at the end This fucking show hahahahaha I mean I know why she's alive, but at least the manga explains it. The anime is just like lolalive haha ikr. Well anyway, it's thanks to Hatsuna she's still alive.. (Did the same thing to Murakami earlier) Final episode was a mess :( |
 |
| I've read the manga, and its one of my top 5 favorites, and I still loved the show to pieces! Sure, the manga is better in nearly every way, but the way they were able to adapt the manga while still covering all the main plot points was amazing. Sure it differed a bit, especially in the ending, but it still has the same ending of the first arc of the manga, and I commend them for that! Although 2 of my favorite moments from the final battle were cut, which would be SPOILERS FOR MANGA Kana attacking Valkyria with a knife, and Murakami killing Kotori... END SPOILERS Anyway, the show was enjoyable, and makes me want to reread the manga, which I HIGHLY recommend. The series was still one of my favorites from this season so it gets a 9/10. (Why did this season have so many great shows?!) |
| if i hadn't read the manga i would've been confused with this episode. disappointing and rushed 6/10 |
