| That was pretty good, better than season 1. All this hype and build up for more has be wriggling in anticipation. There HAS to be a season 3, they can't just leave us hanging like this. The Gryps Festa is sure to be 10x better than the Phoenix festa. Here's to hoping another season will be announced in the near future! Overall both seasons got a 7/10 from me. |
 |
| We should get a S3 for Sylvia alone. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| Hydra fight was nice 8/10 Claudia's father is the one who send the assassin because he feared what his wife would do if she was the one who send her forces. The head honcho actually showed Hayato his sister, didn't think he'd do it. The one who experimented on Julis friend tells Hayato she can save his sister and her laugh is as annoying as flora's voice. Now on to the gryps festa? or teasing that will never come to be? :'(  |
 |
| Was a decent season not that good honestly but things started to get very interesting after episode 9-10, hope that it gets a season 3 because it will be amazing seing all the new "big ones" there, and lets be honest previous festa was just a newbie show, i want a decent FESTA WITH OP ENEMYS! :> and thats GRYPS FESTA! Overall 7/10 but this anime has alot to show yet....S3 hope it comes someday :S |
| Fighting against the dragon...and reunited with his sister (naked). I don't know what to think anymore. 6/10 might not watch season 3 if there is. |
 |
| I thought that chairman guy would keep Ayato from learning about the whereabouts of his sister... they revealed it and even introduced the one who can heal her, and also give Ayato a bit of more of a connection to Ophelia. It is such a tease to see the other teams who will join the Gryps... which we may never see in anime format. >.< |

| For some reason I'm feeling really unsatisfied with this ending. Oh well. |
 |
| I enjoyed this episode more than any other of the show, but it still had tons of flaws. They took the whole Ayato finding his sister arc and squeezed into what, 3 minutes? At most? I was so disappointed when he got that call and the episode only had like 5 minutes left because I knew it was gonna be super rushed. I did honestly enjoy the Ayato vs Hydra part, I thought it was well animated. I wish we could've seen more Claudia. |
 |
| It was an okay finale. Felt very rushed, but that was to be expected. Like everyone else has said, a third season is highly unlikely. I do feel like reading the LNs, though. I'll also be listening to "Waiting for the Rain" for a VERY long time. I became really fond of it after listening to it so much. I found the show enjoyable, giving it a 6/10. |
 |
| The cliffhanger is real. |
| This was much better than S1 for me, wich was a nice surprise. Now I actually want a Season 3, dunno if that's possible. The heavily hinted the teams, so they may be building hype. |
| Alright so for that to be an ending, it was pretty lackluster. Sure the fight with the Hydra was entertaining but the latter half of the episode was like a barrage of treats to lead you into thinking that there's gonna be another season when you feel like you know that there isn't going to be one. Now, I've been sorta comparing the anime to the LNs and the anime follows pretty close to the source minus a few scenes here and there. For example, Ayato and the crew actually stopped at Sayamiya's house before they got to Lieseltania as opposed to just going straight there. And there was a few other fluff things but it stayed true for the most part. For the series in itself, I don't think it's really all that great of a series but it's not completely bad either. It's one of those series that is just frustrating because the concept is good but the way it is brought to us is annoying to deal with. As for where it goes, production should push for the Gryps arc since these last 3 episodes have talked about it so much. You're hyping the audience for this arc but it will more than likely not see the light of day due to the dependency of sales so we are basically left to deal with reading the source. If it gets a season 3, I'd watch it but it's not a show I'd be holding my breath for. As for the ending, I'd give it a 6.5 out of 10 and as for the anime, a solid 7. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| well that wraps that up clearly hyping up the LN seeing how this show was announced with a 2 cour and game chances of a season 3 doesn't sound to crazy but who knows. liked the action this season a bit more sadly even all the enjoyable kirin moments the lack of Claudia till the end was disappointing even more so since it's gonna be more of a focus on her here on out by the looks of it. just barely a 7/10 |
 |
| The ending kinda telling us it'll have another season. But its not sure. Sadly we only get a still shot of Sylvie in the ending. I want a season 3 just to see more Sylvia and the Gryps festa. |
| That Hydra fight was quite awesome, nice battle scene for the last episode. I was kinda hoping Ayato refused to join Claudia's team...that would take the story to a darker path and serve as a great twist. but oh well... That shot where Ayato eating together with Sylvia, Priscilla, and Irene....should get its own episode. I wanna see more of it. Waiting for S3 just for Sylvia |

| omg its finally over... 3/10 |

| 7/10 for this season is absolutely wise |
 |
| 8/10. It's strange for me liking series like this. Nice characters, soundtrack and story. Art rather average, too much CG for me. So, I hope that it is popular enough for season 3. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| The ending reminded me of the end of the Aqua Teen movie with how rushed the revelations were at the end. |
| These last two episodes has been beyond ridiculous. This Marlowe/Marleaux guy is a Scooby Doo level villain. Nice to hear some Yuu Kobayashi-voicing (Magnum Opus) rather than more Julis and Flora, pity she only got 20 seconds of airtime.. |
| Orphellia 's back story finally the onee san is found and depicted that more action is bound to come what a great way to end a show |
 |
| Fight with Hydra is ok. Overall, below average shows. Just a generic special school battle anime. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| I really enjoyed this season of asterisk. Definitely enjoyed the battles. On the off chance that they make a S3 (Basing from the comments here apparently it's not very likely) , will definitely watch. |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| Nice smooth fight against the Hydra for this episode. Animation was pretty great too. =) The latter half of the episode felt rushed honestly, but I was surprised that the chairman would take Ayato to where her sister has been for the last couple of years. Not only that, but he also encountered the shady scientist who wanted to help him with his sister's condition, even though she's work on the project related to Orphèlia. Still, at least he hasn't agreed to it and has joined Claudia and the other to battle it out at the next Festa. Would I like to see a season 3? I would, but with the sales being pretty disappointing, I doubt A-1 will make a 3rd season. Both seasons get a 7/10 from me, 8 for season 2 if Sylvia made many more appearances! =P |
| Saya was so cuuuuteee. i'll miss all the 5 main characters :( the reveal about Orphellia was not surprising for me because i felt it from before Julis should have confessed to Ayato like season 2 just ended ugh it was a good and fun episode and i really can't wait for season 3 (season 2 since this is the second cour not the second season) |
  |
worth it <3 i want wake up like this someday |
| nice finale the action was good now let's hope the make another season or else this will be like many other anime that just stop and if you wanna know the rest of the story you have to read the original source |

Kishi-chan said: AlphaUeda said: What's with the random new ED though It seems you don't remember (else you haven't watched the previous season) but that's the opening for the first season of Asterisk. although I have to admit I didn't remember the song, did they use the gryps festa video in the first season? |
| Was okay. 3/5 for this episode. 7/10 for the show in total. Same like for season 1. Liked the action during the festa battles including the action outside (while the knidnapping). After that it got a bit boring when there was a bit more harem-feeling and less action when they went to Lieseltania. Still nice to see Julis' brother and the final episode nicely wrapped it up with some more background info. |
| So it's over :/ And it seems that there won't be a 3rd season :/ It's a shame since i loved so much this anime. I really wanted to see them fighting in the Gryps Fest, the idea of a Fest where you fight 5vs5 is amazing. And their team is so great. The ending was great, absolutely love that song. It seems that i will have to read the LN to know how this anime will end. I still hope that there will be a 3rd season. A strong 8/10. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| I think revealing Ayato sister and appearance of Magnum Opus way too early It just revealing the motives of the next season if there is |
 |
| So it's over. Rated first season a 5 and will probably keep it there for this one as well. Last three episodes could have been a 45 minute special really. Felt like they just tacked it on at the end to fill episodes without really thinking about it. Didn't really like the random fights with mythical creatures for three episodes to give an information dump. if they made another season I wouldn't watch it. I wonder if the LN is better. Will have to look into it but I won't lose sleep to find out. |

No, they didn't. They only reused the song here. |
 |
| That was actually pretty okay. S3 can't come soon enough. |
| Err... yeah, it was a one-way trip to nowhere. Thank you A1. |
 » Escapism. |
| Another fucking "Read the LN!" rushed ending with no S3 announcement. Looks like this series will fade into obscurity until then if it ever comes. 5/10 |
This topic has not been locked and is still available for discussion. |
| I like the show. There were some good fights but I would prefer if the enemies weren't so OP. Also I would've like this series even more if Ayato was more aggressive with his enemies as they were with him. Characters are alright. The ending feels rushed and inconclusive. Though I doubt this will get a S3. 6/10 |
| Time to read the light novel |
| Season 3 when? Oh wait. Never. 8/10 |
| That fight was so good ! One more time, Ayato shown us his power. It's a good ending. This season was way better, especially because of the actions and the upgraded animation. I'm waiting the third season. |
| What a teaser ending is that but at very good season ending They really want us to hope if it will get a S3 |
