final chapter :(

The ending feels a bit rushed to me. I was expecting an awesome showdown between the protagonist party against the dark beast and the other spirits ...
I only read chinese translated manga

Sucked hard. Waste of what could have been an overall great series.
@deadfisheyes:
Don't think so. I'm pretty sure they stuck that thing in the last page as a teaser.

- Arc was terrible
- Manga was canceled so it was rushed

Yeah, I'm hoping for a rewrite or at least a sequel without Yomi. But considering segawa is busy now with Tokyo ESP, i think he have to wait for a while until something happen

Looks like there's going to be an additional epilogue for the Tank'. Also, Tokyo ESP seems like it might be worth looking into.

i almost dropped this series after Izumi's introduced. I don't understand why the mangaka would add "yuri" thing into a manga that is shounen, with a hero who is more of an observer or side-character. Couldn't care less about how it end anymore. Good riddance!

im just a bit annoyed that the arcs were always about yomi yomi yomi. how many times does kagura have to face her and kill/ save her? shoot.

Well you do have to consider that the ending was rushed due to the manga being canceled, but yeah shit happens, and you have to deal with the aftermath, though i am not content with this ending, same with mx0 T-T, i actually enjoyed it and how the mangaka wanted this series to end down the short road.

im just disappointed that so many great mangas that have so much great potential get canceled left and right. yeah of course its because they arent that popular with the japanese, where the mangakas are making money of off, and i am just getting the free stuff, but still.

Overall Score - 4/5

after all that build up and with an anime and all, we're left with a disappointing ending....so Yomi is a tragic heroine after all and Nori-chan got the ugly end of the stick by my accounts....

my conclusion: they should animate this like they did zero, and give us an ending we can be happy about...i'm pretty sure they can fit 3 arcs into 12-13 episodes

3/5

That was terrible. In earlier story arcs the "power of love" was an amusing plot device but this time around, with the series wrapping up what was supposed to be a massive, climactic battle, it just shits all over the place. The series should have ended after Yomi was initially "killed" since the author just leeched off the anime's success after that by pandering to those who liked the yuri aspects of the anime. 3/10 for this series. I'm just glad I could wash my hands off of this manga.

Was expecting it, but still very disappointed with the ending.
It felt rushed, had many loose ends, and the end of the battle was stupid.
-Yomi dies (yet again)
-I had no idea what was going on during the battle (What did samurai guy do exactly? What's the point of charging up Tsuina's spear?)
-Noriyuki doesn't get the good ending he deserves
-We never find out what happened with Shizuru's sister
-Poor Ken-chan finished as an insignificant side character
-And was that meant to be Izumi alive in the final page?

Final chapter gets 3/5 from me because the manga was cut short, but the ending really deserves 1/5

I wonder why so many ppl hate this arc so much, i mean it was one of the most emotional arcs in the manga. Heck, i actually cried abit when they all tried so hard to protect Yomi.
Which, now to think of it, the 4 dumbasses Devas nearly ended the world when they ordered to kill Yomi.

Oh and BTW, mind enlightening me on the ending u guys would whether see?

Wow, you're right. Haha, I never spotted that. It's a nice touch, showing that Yomi is now part of Kagura's soul and that Noriyuki will always be with her.
Guess this makes the ending a little bit better for me...

Considering how long this KILL YOMI bullshit has been going on, the mangaka pretty much had his hands tied with the ending. I didn't hate the idea, but the execution was definitely less-than-stellar.

I should have never read this. Yomi. ;_;

What a letdown. An epic series witch such stupid ending. The first part was OK but after Yomi died again it went straight to hell. I was even expecting some major turn of events when the side character Kensuke shouted that Kagura still loves Yomi but nooo.

The first arc of the manga was quite good. Then the anime came out and that was really good too. But the two were quite different. Then they brought back that chick, and it just went downhill.

While I really liked the manga, the ending really left a great sense of dissatisfaction. The conclusion after all the actions is like 3 pages long. A conclusion of only 3 pages after making me read 52 chapters? Bummer...

It would be great if it ended like how FMA did, whereby all the characters gets a nice little conclusion.

7.5/10

I would have given a solid 8 if not for the ending :(

Something more than that. From the first time i started reading the manga i got the signal that mangaka wasn't taking his manga very seriously or thought too much on improving it.
The anime not only needs a different ending but a serious rewrite of many parts to improve the mess the mangaka left us with.

Ga-Rei Zero as an anime is a masterpiece but the manga is just a mediocre work.
Killing Yomi again was lame. How much times would you kill the poor girl? And the main guy character in the end proved just useless making you wonder what exactly was his purpose? To drool over Kagura's hot body?

If an anime is made Ken-chan is better of not appearing at all, Yomi should be left out from the first arc(because killing her a thousand times is lame and it would make her appearance more important after the Kyuubi instead of just making us say "oh it's her again").
First arc should be made about Kagura's pain living with out Yomi and a character change of vengeance against the butterfly guy for Yomi and her father. She's better of appearing as a little crazy and not so good anymore.
Second arc should be Kagura changing again to her old self and the appearance of Yomi but with out the clone girl to give her a body. She will be like a ghost making sudden appearances until the last episodes were a fight will be made to give her a body.

Ending was too fast and stupid. The author focused to much on Yomi and not much on the 2 main characters. They should have waited a little bit longer to make Ga-Rei -Zero- if you ask me. Fan liked Yomi in the anime and the author put her back because of that I guess... what's with the power of love bullshit ?

Kensuke "I must protector her" line became annoying after the 100th time, he didn't do shit in the end.

The samurai bad guy sacrificed himself for ... what reason exactly ?

I'm giving it 5/10 because some moments were good, others boring/cliché/annoying.

This last arc was typical shounen trash, but I guess it's to be expected when you're suddenly canceled and desperate to leave fans with some closure. It's too bad, because the first few arcs were rather decent... 6/10.

Most upsetting point was after all that effort for her,Yomi still kinda disappeared.
What is this. Redemption=death?
Anyway it would have been pretty much more satisfying to end the series with Kagura coming to a conclusion with Yomi to kill her and Kensuke accepting and following Kagura's decision like a damm consort would do. Not the 'No Kagura I won't let you die' thing. He could be a meat shield against the Devas I guess? And then end the series swiftly with a few words of 'Love' from Yomi to Kagura and the picture being a globe with only fifteen giant lifeforms.(Fifteen right?)

Exactly!

After all I think, that this work surpassed mangaka. Sure thing, taht last arc. was so about KaguraxYomi relations, because of anime's great succes... and ending, after 52 chapter - so normal and predictable...



Truth is - Segawa turned into dark author's side, so he couldn't stop killing his greatest chara ;p

Manga - 8/10 (7 points because of Yomi, 1 point because it was the base for great anime)
