| There goes another anime. This episode pretty much represents the show itself - starts off really good and promising, mixes in some drama and succeeds, and later overdoes it and becomes annoying. The fight was good, though i'm really disappointed that we never found out what Andou's power really does, unless it really is just useless. I'm really interested in Andou's friend who seems like a really good puppeteer, and Tomoyo's brother seems to be in charge. I still have no idea what these "Fairy Wars" represent, what's the Literature club's role in this, who gave them their powers, or what're "F" and "Virgin Child" fighting for. Inou-Battle started off really well, and was even pulling off the cliche slice of life stuff until a certain point... and then it became extremely generic, with episode 11 being the worst so far. The lack of actual power usage is undoubtedly my biggest gripe with this show, feels like something that was heavily advertised and then had minimal screentime (i'm looking at you, Naruto: The Last). The second flaw is that the "romance" aspect was focused on too much, and, as expected, had absolutely no real conclusion in the end. Just adding this to the hundreds of anime that did the same... Still, it had a strong beginning and middle, and was definitely an anime i enjoyed. Final episode: 4/5 Overall anime score: 7/10 DARK AND DARKU... OVU ZI ENDOOOO! |

ThreePointer said: What I wanted was to see either a focused superpower anime or a well developed harem story and what we got was a read-it-yourself ending with a forced one-sided harem (Tomoyo gets to much screen time in comparison) and little focus on the power just a tease here and there. They couldn't decide what side they should focus on and heaven forbids this will get a second season. If the original story is exactly like the anime then just wait for a guaranteed two cour anime. Overall:  Pretty much all of my exact thoughts, complete with gif. I expected more, wanted more, stuck with it hoping for more, there wasn't more. |

| And thus it ends. This was a great series. I loved all of the comedic elements as well as the serious moments. A major complaint from a lot of people (at least from what I've read anyway) was that this show wasn't really sure what it wants to be. I, on the other hand, really enjoyed that aspect. Because of its shift in tones every now and then, I think that it was able to be "just right" for me, allowing me to get a chance to see all that I usually look for in an anime. I really enjoyed this series, and I really love how it was the characters that made the show, not specifically their powers. I haven't seen very many harem anime, but from the ones that I've seen, this is the only one that I've seen where I feel like the main character actually deserves his harem. He might be a total goofball, but he can be caring and compassionate when need be. Overall, I really enjoyed this series. Definitely an 8/10 for me. |
| Some facts about this show: - Andou's power is forever doomed to be useless, and Andou himself to forever be oblivious to 5 girls being in love with him. - Mirei is still the best girl, while Hatoko is the worst. - Chifuyu is probably the cutest loli you've seen. - Sayumi is secretly into yaoi (involving Andou and Sagami): - Andou will probably end up with Tomoyo - we all know the tsundere always wins. |

| I don't quite get the prupose of all this... The romance just did'nt arrive to a clear conclusion (I would have like to see the Tomoyo ending), and it's the same thing for the adventure part of it... We now know the super power of Andou.... But all the war part was negliged.... we did not get to much info on it, and the group did not participate in anything related (excepted the ending...), so I'm all confused about this... This show had a great concept but for some reasons, were not able to make me say it was pretty good. 6/10 |
 Real Men never turn |
| What the hell was accomplished in the end? You had SOL school elements with an interesting subtlety in the premise, it was all fun and games in the beginning, then came this subplot about war and then a couple episodes ago everything divulged into harem hijincks. And then the final last two episodes became somewhat serious... Like what? It was enjoyable to watch but I feel like this was a colossal waste of time. |
| was a fun watch 7/10 Would've wished more from the grail war tough :D |
| Decent show but too many unanswered questions by the end. If it's setting up for a second season, then I'm okay with that, but if it's a 'read-the-light-novel' end, then I feel like I wasted some time watching. Still, it introduced me to best girl Kudou Mirei, so I can't say it was a total waste -w- I liked that Andou's Dark and Dark of the End wasn't some OP power that defeats the enemy and saves the world. Its continued uselessness is what made it funny, and he was still able to make it effective. Hoping there will be a second season but I won't count on it. 7/10 |
 |
| Andou's powers are a little silly to watch. Even so, his resolve in others are admirable. It wasn't a harem ending so I'm fine with just that. I was rooting for Hatoko, but well, we can't have just one confessing. Overall, everything was good. I liked it from start to end. An amusing ending. I wouldn't mind a sequel to this. 8/10 |
| So basically, this show was about a group of kids that get powers, then some lose their powers, and then they get their powers back. That was it. 3/10 waste of time. |
| it's a right decision to wait for the last episode and do the marathon for this series :) good story, still a cliffhanger makes me demand the 2nd season, overall it's a good anime, instead to be a serious anime, it becomes a romcom nichijou anime~ 8/10 for this |
| a dual-sword wielder, fire element in right arm and ice element in left arm |
| Such an anti-climactic episode. There really was no point to this show it seems. Eh, it was entertaining enough, but it really needed bigger aspirations. Disappointing from a Trigger show. |
xytech said: Okashi_sama said: Yeah, total crap. the only good thing about this show was the voice acting in ep 7. and that's about it. 1/10 How are you able to finish so many series you don't see any redeeming qualities with? Do you truly have no better way to spend your time than watching things you hate? You should pick up another hobby, like hitting your head into the wall. Anything seems like it'd be more enjoyable than anime for you. Lol. As mean as that sounded, I kinda agree. I don't get people that criticizes the sh!t out of a series, but yet they continue to watch it. Sometimes, I feel like some people watches anime not for entertainment, but just because. EDIT: After reading Gisselle-san's post (right below), I realized I tend to do the same thing for certain series (which are particularly/extremely bad). Everyone is entitled to an opinion indeed. How hypocritic of me! Much apologies. However, I don't think Inou-Battle was that bad to get a 1/10. C'mon, lets not be overly-critical/nitpicky here. |

Giving an opinion is part of being in a forum, of course, but don't pretend to tell people what to do or not do, what to like and not like, because that's not how things work. |
 |
| I think this goes without saying but there will be a season 2. They didn't explain the war, who the F members are, and the truth behind the powers. I feel like this season was a huge set up for the actual story, like a prequel in a way. And I'm glad Mirei got screen time, she's bae. |
 |
| Well that was allright overall... I thought they would explore Andou's powers more than this in the final episode, but I guess its ok... I truly feel like there was some missed potential with this show, maybe with a season 2 all this set up can be validated, dunno.... The one thing that annoys me is that I really dont like the main heroin (the pink haired one, didnt even bother to memorize her name), she is the perfect example of a tsundere done wrong imo... Yet I find all the other girls in the harem at least likeable, so I can put up with pink hair-chan... Anyway 6,5/10 I would say... hope for a second season and some closure soon |
| Average series of this Fall and could be a bit better but still had a batter ending than the trainwreck which finished a week before this. Hatoko pissed me off with her bullshit during half of time. I hope for a second season like Patureau said, this can't end like this. 5,5/10 |
 |
| You know. I loved this show, a lot. It was rather different, despite the obvious harem tropes. I really hope theres a second season of this, id love to see more of the Fairy War. and more evolutions of their powers! Andou's power is really quite scary... and still kinda useless. Poor girls though, they had to witness andou losing his hand twice. that must have been brutal... Still, yeah i loved it quite a bit, charming, funny and dramatic. But not enough superpowers! SO HERES TO A HOPEFUL SEASON 2! |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| Eh i think my favorite part was the character designs everything else was just okay (also the speech was the most redeeming thing in this show) felt like this series couldn't figure out what exactly it wanted to be thus falling short in all of it,but i won't say i didn't enjoy watching this each week so 7/10 feel like a season 2 could help a lot |
 |
| The last episode was rushed as. Overall, I enjoyed the series quite a bit. Andou is a pretty good harem protagonist. For me, Tomoyo is best girl. I didn't like her much, but she was probably the least annoying female character. Hatoko is pretty cute, but she's so needy lol. I didn't like the direction of this series. One minute there's all this supernatural battles next minute it's all this romcom stuff. This series is getting a 6 or 7 from me. |
| So, what's Sagami's relationship with Hajime? Who the fuck was that one lady that can switch bodies? |
| I feel like they could make this a more in depth supernatural war type anime. Like they have the potential. The slice of life aspect is good, it just seems like if wasnt balanced. More like random scenes of violence and then 90% normal stuff. If there is a lightnovel for this someone msg me a link, I feel like its a better book than show. |
| i feel like they didn't know which way to choose for this show.. first comedy, then harem and then drama it's 3/10 for me |
| This show was really great - opening song is ridiculously catchy and the characters are so loveable. Every episode has been consistently fun and heartwarming. I expected nothing less of the same studio as Gurren Lagann. It's my favorite of the season. 9/10 |
 |
| Well done overall. Made good use of 12 episodes. Nice heartwarming feel is always a plus. 8/10 overall for me! |
Be like this seal. It is a happy seal. ~Review Guidelines~ | ~Recommendation Guidelines~ | ~Mafia Society~ |
| BUHIIIIII 9/10. Season two COMMON |
 |
| There are some good moments and I like the characters. Not the greatest but quite enjoyable for me. I don't mind a S2. 6/10 |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| Great end of this anime, I liked how things have developed and how there is room for a sequel, but also ends a part of story The anime is not grandiose, but the plot and the characters are great fun, managed to get my attention in a season that has several good animes, several animes above average So recommend this anime to anyone who wants see something fun .. |
  |
| Well, Chifuyu was a qt. I certainly hope Trigger's next anime is more ambitious. |
| While Hatoko and Tomoyo are declaring their rivalry, Chifuyu is winning the war by a wide margin. 6/10 for me, but I'll definitely watch the S2 if it comes. |
| This show just needed no other girls but Mirei and it would've been perfect. |
| Andou's power in the next level is intense. It's like Naruto's (series, not the character) version of Amaterasu. Also, it looks like all the girls confirmed that they love Andou. Harem ending indeed. Overall, an enjoyable series. Will definitely watch season 02 if it comes. |
| No more cozy mondays ;.; |
| Really liked it. Respect for Andou all the way through. I was hoping for an announcement at the end of the episode for a season 2... 8/10 from me |
    |
| Damn now I see why they didn't want him to use that power. Pretty okay last episode. Things really got intense. Ando us ping his secret move was unexpected. Flames that burn the user forever. Felt sorry for the gang. Cutting off your friends arm can't be a easy thing to do and just laugh off. Overall it was a meh series. I feel like it didn't know what it wanted to be. A anime about powers, comedy, romance, harem, drama or what. If this had focus on one thing I'm sure it would have been great. 6/10. Add one point because of Chifuyu. |
 |
| I'm still rooting for HATOKO! and this is the best part!  |
| That ending sucked. |
| added the fourth most popular anime onto this site |
| I wonder if there's going to be a season 2. Seems like they left a lot unanswered but I still liked it. It's a 6/10 for me. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| Solid show although I wish that there was a more definitive ending... Oh wait. This is a rom-com harem and that never happens. I take all that back. I really enjoyed all the characters and loved that Mirei was finally included in the finale. The convo with the two best girls (Sayumi and Mirei) was perfect. I wouldn't mind a season 2 but also I wouldn't be devastated if it never came as well. And I'm out with one last "Dark and Dark!" |
 |
| Hmmm, well it was a fun show with some sweet moments. There was quite a bit that was left unanswered and I was expecting a bit more this episode. Glad that Dark and Dark the End was explained at least. Haha, that's quite a funky ability. Also, Kudou with her hair down was a pleasant surprise at which I marveled at. :3 |
 |
| awww that's consequences for using dark and dark of the end. D: overall Nice SOL and Funny anime. 8/10 :D need Season 2 |
 |
| I don't know if anyone noticed, but at 1:06 when it shows they're in the karaoke bar, the song that is playing is the Wake Up, Girls! OP. Two WUG members (Chifuyu and some pink haired side-character) have roles in this anime, so I guess they convinced the staff to include that. Fun little easter egg, I guess. It definitely got my attention. Chifuyu and Hatoko were the saviors of this anime, since they both had great moments. Chifuyu nearly gave me diabetes, and Hatoko's wakannai rant is one to remember. 5 is average, so 7/10. Above average. |
 |
| how they dealt with andou's awakened power... i'm kinda surprised |
 |
| What a fucking hax.. I thought one can't use their power once it was stolen by Kudou but apparently Andou's flame is so hax it can't disappear no matter what. Not to mention the enemy was fucking stupid, if she thought Andou's power was useless why even bother to steal it? if she was serious about luring the others out she'd have tortured Andou for real instead of talking and "torturing" him with such half-assed method. All these and she dared talk about war? it seems she was the one who really doesn't really take the war seriously. The first few episodes were delightful but it went downhill once the drama started and Andou became your typical harem gary stu not to mention that hax power of his. Forced relationship with the worst girl in the cast only made it worse. I can't give this more than 5/5 and it would have been worse if it wasn't for Chifuyu's moe-ness and Hatoko's amazing rant. |
