It felt a bit rushed, but overall it was an ok ending.
It was about time for Toru to make a contract with Frederica.

This series became a large portion of my life this year. I've seen every episode at least twice, with the exception of this one, and it is a really well written, and thought out show. But I REALLY REALLY wish that Chaika's epilogue was a bit longer...they could have cut back on some of the Gillette epilogue so that she could have proper closure.

But that's what happens when your show is bombing in sales, and you only have 10 episodes to wrap everything up. If the OVA is set after the anime's ending, then all will be forgiven. Because it needed a bit more closure.

However the final episode was pretty awesome! Lots of action, Chaika being awesome, and her final line about giving her father a funeral, was pretty epic in its own way.

I'm going to miss this show, which has quickly become one of my favorite anime. But this season was more rushed than the first season, so I'm going to have to give it a 9/10 as opposed to the 9.5/10 I gave its predecessor.

Hyped for the OVA now!

Nice final battles, it went by so fast but enjoyable over all. A glimpse of action here, a bit of drama there, and a perfect ending scene. From all this we can conclude that the gang lived happily afterwards.

Here's my tribute to No. 357


P.S. Red Chaika is really adorable, would make a perfect tsundere character. I hope we get some fan service of her in the OVA. :p

(EDIT: We do get to see some fan service after all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05rvorAl33o )

Not bad but I wasn't expecting an ending like that it was like onepunchman- lots of build up but ended so suddenly. If anything I was overwhelmed by how situation turned 180. Anyway can anyone please confirm whether the ending was anime original or it followed the LN. If I am not mistaken the LN seems to be still ongoing.

I wish they would've included that in the conclusion. It would've made everything perfect and Chaika gets to pick a new name.

Ln hasn't ended yet so we don't know. It will end in like a week or so. Previously, they said it will be similar ending if not the same but now I really don't know - anime changed many things from the LN, nothing THAT major but I guess ending will be a bit different. As for the anime I really enjoyed it. White chaika is super adorable and now when I realized I don't have any reason to look forward to Wednesdays I feel kinda empty inside. The ending was fitting, I couldn't think of better alternative. Obviously Chaika lost her memories, notice that her speech returned to normal - she said arigato instead of kansha. Shame that this season was so short & had small budget but overall it was an enjoyable ride. ^^

Everyone has already said this - but it felt rushed to me. I wish they'd had more episodes to work with, because so much happened in the last two episodes. It was epic, but it all happened so quickly that I feel like it didn't have quite the same impact. Also, I was hoping for more closure with Chaika and Toru. I want to know if she remembers him, though I'm inclined to think she's started from square one with her memories...

Wish there was more than just an OVA coming. :P

Well even if it was a bit rushed, I'm glad that at least we have the final of this series ... it not remained incomplete as other transpositions of novels ...
For all that you gave me, Chaika, I give you a 9-deserved !

God save our gracious Chaika,

Long live our noble Chaika,

God save the Chaikas !

ps: Maybe I'm wrong ... but they could have made a final a bit rushed to push people to buy the novel to find out more details and a final more elaborate ...
What do you think about the planetarium? That beautiful twinkling of eternity that will never fade, no matter when....

That was a bit too easy. I expected Gaz to be more surprised that his weapon left him LOL. They could have made it sad by having Chaika forget all her memories with Toru.

Toru looked so bad ass after making a contract with Fredrica! He even killed Shin (which was a little anticlimactic but still very pleasing). A little sad that Chaika had to use her memories to kill Gaz but I'm glad that he's gone as well.

7/10 for the whole series. While it was a good ending it was... A little anticlimactic. Definitely could've used two more episodes to make things wrap up a little more nicely. Still a great series though, and very underrated.

I'll give the series overall a 7. I found it enjoyable for the most part.

My favorite part of the finale was seeing Red Chaika kick Black Chaika in the face!

I was a little worried that when Gaz died it would make all of the Chaikas die, but as others have pointed out, his second death wiped out their false memories.

That felt like it ended so fast, would be better maybe if it had like 12 episodes. It was still good tho. First one of the season that I finished. I'm gonna miss this adventurous show.

Toru finally became a dragoon knight. Fredrica got owned quickly again haha

Left some unanswered questions about how things where left off but now that bad

I'm kind of in the same boat with everyone who felt the final arc was painfully rushed. I would have preferred them to do 12 episodes and finish on a better note.

With that said, I still enjoyed the whole series. I wished it could go on for 12 more episodes. I'm hoping the OVA will better conclude the story.

After this finale, I must say that I am highly disappointed. The first season was a solid 8/10, but this...

This barely gets a 5/10 from me. It was too rushed, the story was incoherent at times, and that ending was one of those short, rushed, everything way too convenient, throw it all between two pieces of bread and JAM it together into one big sloppy I could have done better but I didn't want to try sandwiches.
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me.

And now it's over. I'm kind of sad though because I really enjoyed both seasons of this anime. I think that season 1 was a bit better, but this season was still decent.

The ending felt just as anticlimatic as I was expecting it to be, which is fine. I didn't expect them to be able to pull off an amazing ending with only one episode left.

They didn't really explain what happened to Chaika, but from what I've read in this thread, it seems that she lost her implanted memories from being a Chaika.

I wasn't expecting Gaz to be taken out like that though. Niva proved to be the ultimate troll in the end. It also wasn't very surprising that he didn't show any emotion when he was taken out. I don't think that it would have fit his character very well if he did.

Overall, I'd give this season a 7.5/10. I'm rounding it up to an 8 for my list though.

Haters gonna hate~~

It was rushed, but I didn't mind, I still liked this anime, both seasons too!
Except yeah, this season was shorter......10 episodes only? :O

Anyways......this was a cool ending, I mean, Chaika shooting the crap out of her "father", and then Red Chaika kicking the living shit out of Black Chaika? LOL! That was pretty funny......and brutal lol.

But I mean, this was a nice anime series, really enjoyed the characters, the action, the magic! It was all pretty decent and well worth the watch.
So can't wait for the OVA's, I heard it's gonna be a swimsuit type episode? White Chaika in a swimsuit? Yes please~! :D

OH! But.....so did White Chaika lose her memory? Or.......

Disappointing. This was a 7/10 before. Have to knock it down to 5/10. They really needed more episodes. Is Chaika still "Chaika", does she not remember, is it like shehas amnesia? Seems that way since she talked normally when she said thank you. Should have explained it

On one hand, I like that it's finished and they didn't just let it trail off like so many others. On the other, I'm also a firm believer that if you know you can't do it right, don't attempt to do it wrong. This season, while occasionally fun and providing some level of closure, was disjointed as heck. Some episodes felt too slow for what they were attempting, while others ran pretty much like an summary instead of the actual story. They appear to not even have had it in them to try and do a through-the-credits epilogue, which would have helped immensely.


Oh. And:
Red Chaika. New outfit. Like.

Quite busy end, many battles and rapid development, but everything as expected, nothing very surprising, but I enjoyed seeing Tooru very strong and Chaika sacrificing himself to kill the emperor

Akari again did not have great highlight, but for me she is the best girl in the anime, and how it was badass in this episode also


I Expected to see a little more after defeating the emperor, but already gave you an idea of how the story follows

The anime has some good aspects, but has some negative too, is a good story for anyone who likes fantasy and adventure, surprised me positively in general, then I indicate to those who enjoy these genres ..

That was a really great series. Im a little disappointed that Shin never went Iron-Blood Transformation because I just wanted to see that overwhelming power difference but Toru using his mind to open himself up and then attack was very Toru-ish so its acceptable. And lol at the end with Akari writing a novel between the love of 2 Sabateur siblings and it merely being the prologue.

10/10 for the series.

The plot element I was so pained to see never happened was the fact that Gaz turned out to be a one-man Industrial Revolutionary. Seriously! This dude... man, he developed genetic engineering, long-range laser cannons, space stations... holy shit!

So wish this was 12 episodes, this is the kind of final battle that needed at least 3 episodes to do properly, but I guess that's the financial reality of the show...
