| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This series sure loves flashbacks. We even get some in the finale when they kids involving the Lightless Realm. So, I guess in a way, they wanted to do a reflection of what has been going on. Then again, it's a bit repetitive to watch this over and over. The final battle was meh but it was better than some of the others. Well, it's finally over...  Felt anti-climatic. |
 |
| Great to see light at the end of the tunnel. Sasame waking up at the end was nice. |
 |
| SO EVERYONE IS ALIVE AND BAM! HAPPY ENDING. I wish everyone beside Tsugumi is dying though. AT LEAST MINASHI SHOULD JUST DIE. Last ep feels anticlimatic. Feelin' disappointed because the last few ep before this builds some heavy tension, but meh, this resolved so quickly and boring. Wish Tsugumi x Akashi though, I know that isn't going to happen. Final verdict : 6/10. Could be worse because I'm biased towards Akashi. |

| Didn't completely hate this tbh,definitely wasn't Glasslip level bad 4/10. |
| Think I'll give it a 4-5. Surprisingly not as bad as Glasslip from the summer season. I can't believe I continued to watch this but I'm so glad it's over. Everyone being alive was typical, though. |
 |
| Well that was probably one of the most depressing anime's i have ever watched. But it was pretty decent and it was a nice happy ending as well which is always a plus for me. |
| THANK GOD ITS OVER |
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet |
| So it's over... I actually liked this show a lot. Though most of the characters were totally annoying. I felt like punching the screen more than once. I have a lot of complains, well, I guess it doesn't matter now. 7/10 |
| Eh... I stuck with it until the end but it was a chore to watch. Why did I even stick until the end I wonder XD After all the crap that happened, we get a happy ending. I'm kind of not happy about that to be honest. 5/10 |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Till the end Lightless Realm was washed away and all things are coming back to normal. And it seems Natsuiri's project was been continued by Agura Kasane and it was now accepted by the people all because of the Lightless Realm phenomenon. And Tsugumi was finally having a normal life without sadness,scare and hatred on her heart. So Heito had almost fully recovered, Emiru was on comatose state without being covered by necrometal and Sasame still being infected by necrometal but she's awake now. Anyway this show was finally over and now I'm about rate show 6 overall because I didn't really like some episodes of this Anime and I wasn't even satisfied with that ending. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| Happy ending. I love happy endings, this is one moment in the series that I have really enjoyed, and not just because it ended. I thought it was a nice ending, and by that, I meant the very end part when Sakamoto's singing started. Other than that, the whole Minashi wanting everyone to be one thing was weird, and then how Tsugumi stopped being angry too. I wonder what Okada was thinking when she wrote this, what was her purpose...was it what Mahmu narrated at the end? That darkness is born when light is lost? Basically, it's not Tsugumi's fault she went insane because her light was lost, I guess, and some other things that happened throughout this series. Cool line, I mean it really does mean something, but this anime was kind of a bore. Had some interesting moments of course. Tsugumi is much more tolerable when she is happy, and the Corpse was cute at the end. |

| Trainwreck: the Anime is finally over. I can't believe I thought this had potential to be the next Shinsekai Yori. It has a nice premise I'll give it that, but the execution and characters are horrible. The plot is just everywhere and I really feel that the mechas were unecessary, they could have psychic powers or even nen (Hunter x Hunter). It wasn't even like Captain Earth where the animation, art and music made up for the poor story. So, it sounds like I'm just shitting on this show but there were like three or so decent episodes, the island episode and two backstory episodes. Everything else has been too try hard edgy and messy. 5/10 (still deciding if it deserves lower) |
| This is an Episode 24 Discussion, so I'll just be giving some thoughts that I had as I was watching and after the episode. can confirm script is written by Okada final "fight" wasn't anything to write home about last few minutes was whatever episode felt tight with rushed transitions left a bad taste in my mouth 10/10 - IGN |
| I don't consider myself a good judge. trying not to be an obnoxious otaku |
| Finally it ended. A really disappointing series that dragged on for 24 episodes. Everything was lackluster, huge lack of atmosphere etc. etc. Not worth criticizing any further, 2.5/10 |
| Not fair, Only reason I keep watching it was to see Minashi die. Not cool............ Anyway, I was expecting a more tragic ending, but I am ok with the happy ending. |
 |
| I never really figured out how I feel about Heito, but I'm so glad we got the happy ending with everyone being okay. I was so afraid that the necrometal cure was a pipe dream that I refused to let myself hope for a happy ending, and that made the end all the more heartwarming and fantastic for me! |
 |
| This anime has been a rollercoaster since it went from good to bad, then from bad to good. I give this anime a 8/10, just because i liked the cute little corpse running around and enjoying the light :D |
| @vanillamoo the only pair worth shipping is Iwato and Raika tbh |
| How in the hell did this get 24 episodes? That is all. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| this show has its flaws, I can't deny that, but I did like it.it was interesting, dark and mysterious. I kept looking forward to every ep and it kinda grew on me. I was pretty satisfied with the ending too. glad that Minashi didn't die (haha apparently I'm the only one who thinks that way) Emiru smiling in the end was cute and of course Iwato and Raika were cute as well. I actually couldn't care less about Akashi and Sasame, but I thought Tsugumi holding Minashi's hand was quite lovely. 8/10 |
 |
| so... if it wasn't for the 1st set of episodes this might have gotten an 8... Its lucky to have gotten a 7. Sasame killed my enjoyment of this show entirely but in the end it was "alright" 6.5/10 rounded up to 7. |

| A nice ending |
 |
| That ending was surprisingly not as horrible as I expected it to be. For a while I thought they were going to turn Tsugumi into some weird, fucked up yandere. After episode 23 it looked like I was going to be wrong about it, and I'm glad I was. Undeniably best girl in the show, glad they just showed her that she was flawed and human. She admitted she made a lot of mistakes and nobody blamed her for it, which was nice. Didn't really like Minashi surviving, but he realized he was wrong, and was hospitalized for the foreseeable future so that's a trade off. Realizing that what traumatized Heito was the fact that his bear didn't have a heart was probably the funniest thing ever. One last kick in the balls for that god awful character. Seeing Kasane continue Natsuri's research, but down the right path, while also deciphering how to cure necrometal was pretty cool. Susan taking down the top corrupt officials was rewarding too. Sasame waking up at the end...that was nice I guess. Hated her since she showed up, and I forever ship Akashi x Tsugumi, but since everyone survived I guess it was a nice moment of relief. Clearly she still has a long way to recovery compared to everyone else though. Overall the show was bad. Really bad. That said, it was still nowhere near as bad as Glasslip, and that was half the episodes of M3. Honestly the redeeming factors for this show all were in the 2nd cour. After the first cour ended I would've easily given this show a 2-3. But the 2nd cour did a lot more things right. It answered every question that the first half raised. So no loose ends was good. Iwato and Raika became official. It took the proper route and made Natsuri the villain he always appeared to be, and a fucked up on at that. Everyone hated Minashi and he became the villain too so that was also good. But the best thing is that they didn't ruin Tsugumi's character and instead, turned her around and made her even better. When all is said and done, I'd rate this show a solid 6. Not the best I've ever seen, but certainly not the worst. The 2nd cour was M3's saving grace without a doubt. |
| So it's done, happy ending everyone's happy, yay! Nah seriously, it felt anticlimatic to me, but not necessarily a bad ending if you compare to other ending this season. Otherwise, it was an okay series, can't say I had a bad time. I certainly did enjoy some part of it, but the other part almost felt like a chore to watch. I'll give this a 6 out of 10. |
| So yea,once again I'll say how M3 actually got better as it went on and honestly,with the direction the series took, the events that took place in the 1st half that many people(myself included) were pissed off at(such as Okada having Emiru be turned into a LIM and playing favorites with Sasame) weren't really so bad as I thought they were. I remember bashing on it quite a bit back and while I still believe that Akashi & Sasame's forced Okada-style attraction towards each other was the weakest part of the series, it luckily didn't focus on that as much as I thought it would. Instead,the mystery of the Lightless Realm, our protagonists, their past & relation to it were all revealed properly. That wasn't all there was to it either due to a few twists that came followed which were also concluded properly and everyone played their part in it. With proper execution, M3 could've probably been one of the better shows of spring/summer but alas,it didn't quite get it. One of my biggest complaints besides the usual Okada pitfalls which I kept ranting on about throughout the show's run along with the over-the-top behavior of some characters such as Heito & Natsuiri that can really get on your nerves is the awful BGM used during the action scenes. However, it wasn't nearly as a lot of people make it out to be either so I'd say it's a good show worth the watch for someone who wants a mystery-drama with some mecha. Many people just jumped on the hate train early on and never got off it,whether they continued watching the show or not. I think that,to get more enjoyment out of this series it’s important to let go of the hatred towards some characters that may initially rub you the wrong way. Once you do that,they might even grow on you a little although it does take quite some time for that to happen which is one of undoubtedly one of the show’s main pitfalls. My stance with Okada is once again unchanged after M3,just like it was after Nagi no Asukara. I dislike her over-the-top drama & behavior of some characters yet I can't help but be entertained by her shows to a certain degree. I kind of gave up on the idea that I'll see anything of high quality from her but she continues to be a mixed bag for me,one that somehow still manages to entertain and not always because her shows are entertaining trainwrecks a.k.a. so bad they're good. Like,while Aquarion EVOL fit's that I wouldn't say M3 does. Which type is more entertaining however, is up to each of us to decide. 'Guess I'll continue to check out her shows,lol :P 7/10 from me since it succeeded in keeping me curious throughout it's entire run, kept up a rather tense & dark atmosphere and I guess most of the characters(besides Heito & Natsuiri,too over-the-top to be taken seriously) actually managed to grow on me a little. Tbh,I'd take characters like Emiru,Mahmu,Iwato,Raika,Mahmu,Akashi,Tsugumi & even Sasame any day than someone like Inaho from Aldnoah Zero. Too bad it wasn't executed better though,as it could've been one of the best shows of summer. |

| I kinda forced myself on the last episode, the momentum just dropped and that really let me down. |
| Jesus can walk on water. Cucumbers are 96% water. I can walk on cucumbers. I'm 96% Jesus. |
| wtf? what was with that end? was it really necessary to not make us not hear what Sasame said? God I was so happy that they ended it properly and then they do something like that in the last second -.- don't show something without telling the viewer what actually happens >.< Well. Overall it wasn't too bad at least although the last few episodes weren't as nice as the rest(especially Minashi was unbearable. Tsugumi turned out to be ok but she had her annoying moments earlier). |

| In the end all were saved, and all within the imagined The story was nonsense on many points, I found none good characters, and development left to be desired, but for those who like dark animes with different scenarios may like this anime .. |
  |
| Surprise ending to what was supposedly a fucked up anime. NO ONE DIED. |
| Well, the ending/epilogue thing was nice. Rest of the show was mediocre or shitty with a few decent moments here and there. Better than Glasslip for sure (since people are already comparing them, for whatever reason...) but then again Glasslip didn't run for 24 episodes.. 4.5/10 Would not watch again. |
 |
| "Akashi-kun, I want you to pilot me." "I don't care how much I get hurt."  |
| What a bullshit ending. In the end she said "I was wrong" and it ended. I wrote dairy entries with a more coherent conclusion in 3rd grade. |
| Fitting end. Minashi... yer hand dude! And it's about time Akashi x Sasame resonance happened. Glad to see Sasame recovering at the end :) This is one of those series that "fell short"... I would have loved to see this made by the right people that could have really done more on a psychological level with the horror/emotional aspects, and shortened to 12 episodes. Oh well, I still enjoyed it. 7/10 ...Everybody bringing up Glasslip and claiming it and this are awful... I guess I'm part of the demographic that has been enjoying both. Both have better "atmosphere" than most other anime. I'm sorry this isn't the same generic anime that you all love so much. /rant |

| In the end, I found the ending quite.... unsatisfying I mean, yeah in the end everyone was saved.... miraculously? So like the Corpse has the ability to turn everything into metal or back according to Tsugumi's feelings? Doesn't that make her the most dangerous person in the entire world? Why did they not quarantine her in the end? Or at least the Corpse? That would have made more sense than letting her sit on a tree with that mini-me wannabe right? I mean, what if she fell out of the tree and scraped her knee? Or what if they fed her something she didn't like? She could basically hold anyone hostage to her powers. Seriously, and why the heck would they want to even continue with that experiment anyway? It's like an invasion of privacy, specially for all those sick people. Bleh... nevermind... the show didn't make much sense in the first place. Though I guess I liked the mechs in this show. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Ew, gross happy end with everyone (especially Sasami, ad after that super resonance thing that supposedly killed Aoshi, to boot) surviving. Disappointing. |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
BurntJelly said: I'm sorry this isn't the same generic anime that you all love so much. /rant But m3 is generic. I don't know what you think made this show any different from any other mecha because it was trying to copy Evangelion. CG said: Ew, gross happy end with everyone (especially Sasami, ad after that super resonance thing that supposedly killed Aoshi, to boot) surviving. Disappointing. Another anime that suffers from "main characters never die" syndrome. (Hamatora, Akuma no Riddle, Fairy Tail ugh) |
| Pretty average series with mostly bland characters and a story that was all over the place. It did have a nice and creepy atmosphere though. Akashi's an idiot......who'd choose Sasami over Tsugumi? |
| Psychological mecha that turns into drama Thank you Mari Okada |
| thank God its over~ felt like i watched a 50 episode series~ |
 |
| The most underrated anime for me, this anime deserve around 8 or 9 for the rating. The ending is quite nice and i believe the author want us to imagine what happen next when they finally return back to normal. But sadly, lack of character development. But still the best fr me!! |
