| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Heh that's quite some acting on stage. Decent wrap up episode of the series. We get some more storytelling about the D-Agency members one last time and even a little background story. A bit of an open ending but I'm fine with it. This has been quite a thriller from start to finish. |
 |
| Really liked the episode, again. But for me it didn't feel like a final episode at all. |
| Can only agree with @Ironstorm It should have been a longer show |
| I'm feeling thank you |
| Colonel Yuuki still finishing with that catch phrase that we saw from the beginning. Each episode was compelling enough to make me interested in the series. I particularly liked how each case had some sort of connection to the D-agency which isn't enough to make it an overarching storyline. I need more episodes but beggers can't be choosers. |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| Now that I think about it this case is really belong to him, not the D-Agency. But still, D-Agency seems willing to help him gather all the info. Damn I want more of this kind of story. |

| I think this anime could have been much better if it wasn't episodic. And if it had to be episodic, it would have been really cool if all the seemingly unconnected episodes somehow meshed together to form a big connected storyline. Oh well, this series was still pretty decent, 6/10. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Good episode but really, that's it? Overall I liked the show but it could be so much more interesting if it had some major plot or at least more connection between episodes and not just random cases with random faces. |
  |
| Good episode, Didn't feel like a finale at all. Was a pretty interesting event seeing the spy getting distracted by his own memories and eventually resigning cause he felt he would never be able to abandon the past which made him the person he is. He's right though, The rest of the D Agency members are monsters XD That final line from Yuuki "Who bows in a business suit?" xD Overall, It was a nice enjoyable show. The take on espionage and the life of a spy was very intriguing and entertaining to see. I did feel that the episodes in the middle were lacking compared to the starting and these final few episodes. The only other issue for me was the episodic nature, It wasn't bad but I just feel this show would have been way better if it had a more overarching plot or a more in depth spy mission. 7/10 |
 |
| the ending makes me think there's going to be a sequel even though I know at best we could get an OVA. the one thing that still upsets me is that they only played the real joker game once and that's it. one thing I learned from watching this anime is that there are varies ways to pass on a message and that either everyone is a spy or a double crosser. the episode itself kept me guessing (and I was half right) as who'd done it and how they did it. I'm glad they also answered why there weren't any women on D-Agency or why they don't recruit any I mean. |
| I was really hoping for something amazing from the last ep but it was still enjoyäble |
 |
| Guess it was an alright wrap-up, but at the same time, it didn't feel like a final episode.... Well, aside from that, this show was an enjoyable and good watch overall. 8/10. |
  |
| I honestly thought the final will involve Sakuma somehow, but I guess he played his role in the beginning. I didn't expect Odagiri tho So glad to see my boy Miyoshi alive and talking.. after the depressing previous episode |
| Yuuki is an amazing character, he smiled to this guy at the end. He was too pure-hearted for the agency. 7/10 |
| I wonder if we will get another second season of this? I don't expect sales to be too good to be honest. |

| I really like that this ending wasn't really that bizarre or hype. i mean, the plot was still flat or still on the same level like every episode. nothing changed. nothing was getting more interesting. and nothing was getting bad. and i really like that way and enjoyed it a lot. most reason because the way they made the plot or the story. i mean, each episode, it has a different plot. the story felt like adventure, seinen story and i really like it alot. moreover, i think the plot was really good too each episode. it made the episode looked more interesting too, to me. i can't lie to myself. i'm giving this anime 9/10. i just enjoyed it alot. great show. i really wish they made it 2 cour so that there would be an actual main plot.....but i would like it equally, eithery way :D but i still wish this episode was longer :( too bad it only has 12 episode :c but that line in the end tho xD "who bows while wearing a business suit ?" xD somehow what made me laugh a bit. |
 |
| Was this meant to be the final episode, cos it didn't feel like it at all? Either way, this show tried to do something different, but ultimately only did a half-decent job at doing so. After all, it was episodic in the worst of ways and jumped all over the place, abandoning plot points as quickly as they came up, but what's worse is that the characters largely became forgettable, with the only memorable one other than Yuuki (ie: Sakuma) disappearing entirely after the first few episodes. So much for his prominence in promotion materials. At least Yuuki was interesting enough to at least start to make up for that. 7/10. Will probably be forgotten fairly quickly. |
| Tbh I was just happy Miyoshi was alive Also I loved how Yuuki said to Odagiri the same thing that he said to Sakuma in the first ep |
 |
| episode 1 was promising but the fact that it was episodic and pretty bad at given a proper introduction to each setting kinda annoyed me and bored me at some point.. 7/10 |
 |
| Well that seemed quite intersting.. though it did not had the feel of the last episode though |
 |
| Didn't feel like a last episode but still, fun series. The trick for me to enjoy this was to imagine myself in place of the spies, got an awesome experience out of it. 7.75/10, rounded off to 8/10 |

| OH ho ho.... so the German dude's lover was also a spy eh? No wonder she reallocated to Manchuria. And no wonder he ripped up his resignation letter to go tail her. |

| I came here for the beautifully condescending smirks that I saw on the cover. I was not disappointed. |
The sun is a deadly laser |
| I liked this series a lot.... I couldn't care less about a complete story..... Each episode was epic and involved a untangling a complex set of threads of backstabbing and conspiracy that too in layers!!! The animation quality was also quite decent. The anime is quite enjoyable for a mystery freak.... I enjoyed each and every episode....there is not much anime of this genre available and it's not for some idiots who only search for a complete story for the entire series.... Hope for a 2nd season :D 9/10 |
 |
| It had its moments when it was good but other times it was just average. It was a nice anime but the final episode did not feel like it. Just seemed like another episode. |
| I was expecting more but each episode had something new and I really enjoyed the moments when Yuki would beat the opposing agency and the German general guy. This episode was good, we got to see the spies all in one episode once again. |
| What a final episode tbh, easily one of the best ones during this series. Sad to see it end, I found it rather enjoyable for the most part, despite the odd pacing, so a 7/10. |

Sirev_Giio said: Miyoshi being alive though. That either means he faked his death, or this is not told in chronological order. The entire series was told in anachronic order. The show's website has a timeline to help us: 1939 - Episodes 1 and 2; 12; 6; 5; 1940 - Episodes 7; 10; 3; 8 and 9; 11 1941 - Episode 4 |
| A nice series that had a lovely dark atmosphere most of the time. Mostly interesting episodes and likable characters. The art was done well without a CGI overload that seems to prevail in a lot of current anime. 8/10 |
 |
| Damn, Joker Game doesn't give me time to heal my wounds from the last episode. Well, now that is over, all I can say is that the first 2 episodes of this show were a blast. Episode 3 was very interesting in it's own way, but that's when I realized that this is, unfortunately, an episodic anime. If there were more episodes, this could definitely be amazing, I mean Joker Game has a lot of potential (story setting, interesting characters, beautiful art and soundtracks...). It would have been fine even if Sakuma was the main character the whole time and that the story is (mostly) about him trying to fit in the D-Agency. It's a shame it ended up like this, but what can we do. |
| Noir… It is the name of an ancient fate. Two sisters who watch anime. The peace of the newly born, their black hands protect. |
| A bunch of pretty boy spies sitting around a table in a dark room, smoking with smirks on their faces. LOL. Love it. Wish it was more linear though. The episodic nature didn't do much for it. And couldn't we have at least ended with the Yuuki episodes instead? Or Miyoshi's death? This episode was not really that suitable for a finale. |
| That was rather uneventful for a final episode but I guess I was expecting too much to begin with especially when they started having some sort of plot near the end. The episode itself was pretty nice. Wish they made it clear when the events in the episode happened since Miyoshi was apparently alive in this ep. As for the series itself, it wasn't bad; I quite liked it a lot for that matter. I just really wished it wasn't episodic because this definitely had potential to be really good for sure. The mysteries were pretty cool and I love the intelligent shit going on even if I was lost a few times. I especially loved the theme since it's not often you'd see stuff take place in the early 1900's. 7.5/10 |
| Even when they are all in the same room together, I cant tell who is who. Disappointed with this, great IG production but lousy story. |
 |
| Overall, this wasn't as bad as MAL score suggest. It surely has too many flaws, but I never got cancer for watching this (except in EP 4). 5/10. Could be better, but I liked it in the end. |
 You just lost the game |
| The episode didn't felt at all like a final episode, but it really fits the tone of the series, so I'm perfectly fine with it. Really liked how they emphasized Odagiri's character and how he is told apart of the other members of the D-Agency. He is the only one whose past is revealed, the only one whose true name is revealed and the only one who resigns of his position at the end, in contrast with the other spies, of which we don't know either past, background, name or feelings. Loved that detail. Overall, I liked this. I expected something more at the beginning, but the episodic nature of the series didn't bothered me at all and made the thing really like an spy movie. The atmosphere was fitting and the character of Yuuki was awesome. 7/10. Btw, for those who ask why Miyoshi is still alive in this, this happened before the previous episode. |
 |
| Joker Game was the show I was most looking forward to this season, so I guess I was disappointed to some degree, especially with how "episodic" it was... At least with how they concluded the show. Though I assume there could easily be another season, or maybe some of the OVAs will showcase Odagiri's new mission as a Lieutenant. Thankfully the show was pretty entertaining as a whole, but the characters were not memorable at all to me, aside from Yuuki, and ending the first season on an episode that happened prior to the events of episode 11 feels quite unsatisfying. Well, I'm definitely looking forward to the upcoming specials and hopefully a future season... Though I think if they keep running with this "format" in a future season, the show will probably run stale for me. |
| We still have two more DVD/BD-eps to go. And i really don't care that some people find the series boring or were enraged because of lack of the main plot. It was a good spy series with every ep being different and with good attention to details. |
 |
| I cannot help but feel that this episode should have been switched with episode 11. Miyoshi's death had such an impact, not to mention Yuuki's past, that it would have been a great way of finishing the series with a bang. I had nothing against this episode, though, and quite enjoying having some background on a D-Agency spy but it was hardly half as interesting as 11. And yes, this could do with a second season. Then again, Yuuki did say that once a war breaks spies become useless so there might not be a lot more for the D-Agency boys to do, given the timeline. |
