THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I am so happy with this episode. The animation looks really good (so was the whole budget gone solely to that rhyme fight or what). And as always the OST is amazing!!
I didn't notice if it was rushed or what because I was crying the whole ep, but at least they stayed true to the VN as much as they can. I still have lots of feels so I'll probably just edit this post later.

I wouldn't say I was disappointed with this adaptation, it was really great despite the many animation flaws. And the rushed pacing sometimes.
Looking forward to the BD release along with the OVA!

This adaptation turned out nice in the end,i am glad. (i already forgot about all the animation mishaps from the first few episodes...)
And i say this as an person who owns and is a fan of the original VN(s).
Of course,more episodes would be nice to make it less rushed but hey...i can't really complain about 12^^

I was worried how adaptation will turn out, since all routes seemed merged, but that ending was really good. Especially those very last words that got me so excited and fanboying all over the place.

And I was waiting for Ren route since the start, so I am glad that I got it in the very end. Ren is the best (and hottest one) and I have the urge to replay VN now :D

Last episode was the best. Really enjoyed it. And for only 12 episodes, adaptation was decent for the most part.

I actually sort of liked it in the beginning but I'm super underwhelmed. It really sucks seeing one of your favourite games turn into such a lackluster adaptation. It's not bad but it's not good either. That's it, it's just a little below average and it's such a shame because the VN was so good. It's one thing that the animation was just mediocre but it just didn't have the same depth in story telling and the characters that the VN is so it just disappointed me in all areas. Sigh. I was pessimistic about this happening and after finishing this, I think I was right to feel that way.

I was pretty pleased with this episode! It felt slightly rushed, but for only 12 episodes, I'm content.

Personally, I'm just really glad that I got to see Noiz in his suit. But I actually got some feelings from that last scene with Ren and Aoba.

While it had it's rough patches, this adaptation turned out to be a nice addition to the original VN!

That was actually a satisfying ending, especially when they pulled a fast one and it turned out to be Ren instead of Sei. I can't really say the same about the rest of the series though. It managed to keep my interest but I wasn't too invested into it. I'd say it did a decent job with what it was aiming for and had some really great highlights, such as the ost and Clear. I also like how they put together Aoba's internal conflict with scrap.

A very dramatical 6/10 from me.

Oh my, Ren feels all around the place, it was all I needed to have perfect last minute of this show.
I didn't play the game, but I could clearly tell that everything was rushed and crammed. But it doesn't change the fact that I was coming back to this show every week to see what will happen, it's probably the only show which episodes could go from shitty to really nice (like this one, with awesome Ren scenes and shitty everything else).
Maaaa, still can't get over the last scene (;w;)

Nice adaptation of the Visual Novel (in the end, I knew part of the routes would be butchered because of their content, and I'm really happy they did so).

I also liked how they managed to include all those foreshadowings along the common route.

The animation was kinda... weak, but I don't care that much about it anyway.
Some modifications that disapointed me:
-Mink's Route battles had more things, even if they weren't important to the plot, they were quite entertaining, and I was looking forward to watch them.
-Mecha Dogs are not scary and evil.
-Pacing was awkward in the beggining (being slow-paced is not a negative point, but it sure was not what everyone was expecting for the common route... at least we got everything there)
-Some of the modifications to connect the routes were great, but a few ones felt out of place, even if delivered the content anyway.

In the end, this one was pretty good, not a disapointment like Togainu no Chi, because it adapted really well the content from its source material.

It deserves a proper 7,5/10, in my opinion.

Ren is hoooooot...

Decent adaption, I suppose. Had its bumps but this wasn't a bad episode.

The plot's really intriguing, also. Nice and unique. I think I'll look into the VN at some point.

I give it a 4/10.
moving on.

Kind of upset that they shafted Mink in the end. But I wrote a thing that made it all better.

The thing I'm really upset about is they didn't include the most heartwrenching part of Ren's Scrap scene. Bluh. But damn, was Ren ever hot. And that hug. Adorable. *o*

Personally I believe this was a mess. I loved the game! It was well made, and thought out, yet the anime is getting way too much praise for it's yaoi-less anime adaption. The game was made for a sci-fi yaoi! this concluded that it had 0 yaoi in it, only a kiss. Overall 5/10. Animation was horrible, and so rushed that I want to cry. Well since this is over I'm gonna go watch love stage hopefully that won't suck too.

A nice ending, fuzzy epilogue and all, despite cutting a lot. It was cool seeing the Rhyme scene animated, as usual, and Aoba contacting Sei's consciousness during Rhyme. I liked the hug between Ren and Aoba during Scrap. I don't remember the part about Toue
happening in the VN, but it's been awhile so maybe I just forgot.
I'm pretty happy with how they juggled all the characters' routes, I was worried that they'd just choose one character or just screw up trying to mash everyone's stories together but they did a decent job.
So as a fan of the original VN, I'm quite happy with the adaptation, though I'd imagine anyone who wasn't familiar with the VN just ended up being intensely confused.

It wasn't as terrible as it could have been, though some aspects were underwhelming at least we got to see these guys animated, the routes were covered in the best way possible for such a short adaptation and the OST was flawless. 6/10

From the POV of someone who never played the VN, this anime was really well done with the story and the routes it took with each of the characters. I am very happy with it overall and give it an 8/10!

Now they need to localize the game and bring it to North America on the Vita!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

What...? Just that...? It didn't really leave a significant impact for me, at least. It all feels so cheap and obvious.

But that's maybe because I've read the VN until the end so I know how the output will come.

At least I'm glad the handsome Noiz showed up at the end like a boss XD

As someone who loves and played the game, I must admit that the ending was done beautifully. I feel like they've spent 50% of their entire budget on the last episode during Ren's infamous beach scene and the Rhyme fight. Good to see they stayed faithful to the VN ending epilogue and how they added a bit of each character's good ending routes in there. They animated it wonderfully!

Eh confusing and kind of boring all in all. I knew what the source material was and knew it wasn't my thing, so I don't know why I expected different. I guess I was hoping it would be more about rhyme and being more action based.

So Aoba and Ren would be yaoi, bestiality selfcest. Kinky.

Not the best, but not terrible either. As an adaption I think it fell short (the VN was always going to be far superior) but it still had some good qualities to it. As for the episode itself it was... Like every ep, good but not great.

I will admit if it wasn't dmmd there's a good chance I'd have dropped it a few eps in but... Since it IS dmmd... I am kind of biased. It was nice to see a couple of moments from the VN animated. Which is probably why I'll give it a 7/10.

Yet another adaption where people won't really care for unless they've touched the original source. I kind of liked it but it felt kind of disconnected most of the time. Also hated the ugly character designs.

I enjoyed it, I haven't read or played any adaptation of it but i think it was really good. This was just one of those anime's that didn't need any particular action or plot for me to like, as I was already consumed by the environment, especially the scrap scenes was very awesome. Such a good episode/ending!

I actually liked the ending. The Rhyme scene was pretty cool, and I'm glad that there was a lot of closure. Although I'm kind of confused with what happened to Ren. Did allmate Ren turn into a regular dog and then person Ren went into Sei's body?

The show was okay. Like others have said, it could definitely be a real chore to watch, however, I found some parts entertaining and/or interesting as well. The OST was okay, while the animation was nothing special. Anywhere from 5-7/10 for me

I just hope one day studios realize that omnibus format is the best thing to do in case you're adapting a dating game.


I'm giving this a 5 because I really liked the songs, and since I'm a fan of the VN I midly enjoyed the episodes where my favorites were main (aka Clear and Noiz).
Animation was fucking terrible most of the time, sadly.

Wait, what? I don't get it.

So Ren wasn't in the allmate anymore. That's about all I understood. Why? I don't know. And then Sei, who was dying/dead wakes up again with Rens soul inside him. And Ren was Aobas restraint.
What? I'm confused. Is this supposed to make any sense at all?

And Noiz just did a 180 degree turn on his personality because... whatever?
