Hmm, I think the finale was alright overall. I mean, Matoi understood her purpose in the end with the guidance of her friends. We still see a bit of her family's past.

I wasn't too impressed by the action segments though.
Still, I think Matoi made her family proud.

So the wishes where granted and Claris gained new powers.
Anyway it seems things aren't over yet for the girls, they still have to protect others.
But at least Matoi got her mother back.

It seems like Matoi's wish of becoming an ordinary girl never happened. Forgettable series despite the ending. 4/10.

How's the no-drop club doing?

Aww, cute little Matoi in this final Episode. To make sure we always remember her.>_<
Well it's about time for each of the exorcist girl to reach their highest level, including Claris.

Kinda a weak ending, but I'm still a sucker for happy endings. Still, I think the pacing for these last two episodes ruined it for me a bit

Pretty happy for Shingo since he got his wife and daughter back.

I wonder if there're plans for a second season? Who/whatever was possessing Pochi was never revealed. I definitely wouldn't mind a second season

Expected happy ending for everyone. Clarus gets onto better terms with her kami as she puts forward a wish after getting naked and right before disappearing for good. Matoi turns out to have a stronger wish than her mother so she manages to pull out her mother from the gate and also close it. And they all lived happily ever after. Matoi might even be getting a younger sibling soon lol.

I didn't mind this ending at all. Felt pretty good. With the likes of Mahoiku, Mahouii, and Flip Flappers airing this season, Matoi really stands out as the rather typical mahou shoujo story. What I didn't like was that it took quite some time and quite some boring episodes and unfunny comedy and annoying Yuma and whatnot to get good enough. They took time to even get their direction set. The first seven or eight episodes weren't quite upto the mark for me. It got better towards the end and I did like the relationship they developed between Matoi and Shingo. But the good parts were really late and after I almost dropped this show. The visuals were okay I guess. There were some flashes of brilliance occasionally, but passable as a whole. The last weird looking parts while moving across dimensions was pretty good.

Overall, it took some time to get good enough. Not one of the better shows of the season, but I don't think I'll regret watching this either. Ended up being somewhat enjoyable.

I'm such a sucker for happy endings, so naturally, I liked this happy ending. They're back to being the normal, happy, family they once were. And maybe not so ordinary after all?

Enjoyable series to be honest. 8/10.

Hmm so the higher dimension is actually quite colorful lol
Love how the beginning is in dispersed with Matoi's childhood though
To be able to see your mother again after not seeing her for so long must be exciting for her

Its also nice seeing Yuma and Clarus support her as well
Though of course it wouldn't have been that easy to get there right
Its nice seeing all three are fighting as a team now though
But against a fully awakened Matoi you stand no chance
Man seeing Matoi cleave through his attack was just awesome

So while Matoi and the others try to close the game
Their seniors would hold the line in the real world
Just like how a end of the world situation should be like eh

Yuma's grandfather gave one hell of a speech there though
lol Matoi is a different person now
she's more committed to being a hero that can save people from the likes of you
Man Clarus's determination to take down the creed killer is strong
The need to avenge her partner is strong after all

So Clarus's equipment is governed by her faith then eh
And despite it breaking because of overuse she was able to reequip it
by admitting to the things that she values the most with this being the friendship that she made with Matoi and Yuma. Friendship is a beautiful thing and is a stronger power than revenge.
The Gods after all grant wishes based on ones feelings
And Clarus's friendship with Matoi and Yuma were real and are things that she has learned to treasure. And its a good thing that her gods agreed with this and granted her a new power and man Clarus looks more powerful than before. Love her new outfit as well. White suits her more than black.
Letting go of your hatred and only focusing on your wish is the way to go.

Man the friendship between the three are now so strong
its nice to see Shingo not give in to despair and go out and help the others as well too. Nothing can stand in their way if all three wish for the same thing.
Yuma and Clarus though were so brave and put the wishes of matoi above everything
thats friendship for you

Hmm so Shiori has actually become the gate that is stopping the world from ending eh
Matoi is the image of your everyday girl eh one that does not care for fame or fortune only that she can be with her father and mother as a normal family.
Its a simple wish but a really heartwarming one.
Wow Shiori actually looks really pretty
Like a older and more mature Matoi lol

Seeing the events that lead up to Shiori's exit though was a nice touch
Shingo's first meeting with Shiori though was cute
And Matoi was able to finally speak with Shiori though
Matoi would go through hell itself to get her mother
And thanks to all that sacrifice Matoi was able to close the hole
Using such a simple wish to close the hole though lol
Lol Pochi waking up miles from the ground

And finally Both Matoi and Shiori made it back from the higher dimension
and that Matoi's family is finally complete once more
Lol shingo's reaction at seeing them both lol
man i love happy endings and im glad that Matoi's family is back together

Been a great ride though and seeing the friendships that have been forged by everyone here really makes you happy.
Love the extended ending song as well too

Thing about wishes is that you have to be very specific.

I loved how Matoi's god just shows back up in response to Yuma's prayer after we/Matoi assumed it went off somewhere.

Very enjoyable for me throughout
I'm a sucker for happy endings regardless of how they're paced. I liked the scene where Matoi had to go on alone as her friends descended down to a different dimension. Especially her walking alone in the darkness, nicely done.
Shiori came home! Nice to see, and just like some of us wanted, Claris achieved a true divine union, although her outfit didn't change the way I thought it would.

Also I will definitely be looking for the OSTs for this. Some of them are absolutely breathtaking!

Overall I enjoyed this quite a bit, glad Matoi's wish didn't has come true lol not because gods can troll too

besides all the humiliating Matoi at the start this series was okay had an great OST and some decent animation far from the worse this season ironically it's one of ones i kept up with watching mainly because it's the only thing on tuesday for me lol.

Matoi got most of her wish in the end. Finally reuniting with her mother, calling Shingo her dad and becoming an ordinary girl...Until we find out she's not.

Yuma and Clarus is definitely my favorites in this. Clarus new form is way better than her last one. I like how it went from black to white when her personality changes and admits she's doing things to protect her friends.

Yuma is just great. I adore her. So fun to watch and entertaining. Wish she had more development and screen time.

3/5- Finale felt rushed but it was still pretty good. The animation and colors looked great. I was expecting a powerful 'final boss' thing at the last dimension but it wasn't like that. At least we have a happy ending. That's all I ever really ask for in any series.

6/10- For the series, I enjoyed it. I found it entertaining. The story has a lot of flaws and Matoi isn't the best lead you can get behind, but I enjoyed my viewing a lot more than I thought I would. Yuma and Clarus is great. Shingo got better as the series went on though I still found it cringey as fuck when he groped his own daughter's boobs. Good amount of fanservice here as well. The fights weren't all that special which is a bit disappointing. Other than that, this was a good but forgettable series. But hey! It least it was colorful and pretty!

I'm also having weak spot for happy endings. In overall, I'm very satisfied, that I picked this anime. AND OST IS SO FUCKING AMAZING I CAN'T BELIEVE. I mean, how often we get Western-movie-level OST in series? (yes, Western composers are far superior than Japanese, deal with it).

This anime was one hell of a dark horse!! I was astounded by all kinds of stuff in this series...

The soundtrack was top-class.
The depictions of all kinds of things were fantastic.
The emotional moments were really powerful.

The myriad god is a god of unification, the "highest" dimension, is the most unified one, depicted as a fractal coming from a source.

This anime did so many things right, yet so straight-forwardly, that it is outstanding. Even down to things like, how the villain wasn't even important, the real story was character vs environment.

I swear i cried when Matoi met Shiori. I mean, we all knew she would, but when it actually happens it's just omg!

He thought she was his wife and considering how they were acting in this episode, I don't find it cringey anymore. I'm glad he's happy, but Shingo and Shiori seem to enjoy tons of PDA.

Expected and still great finale. Matoi's "ultimate power" has still no reason to be in-universe but its reason for the story was good.

4.5/5 The young couple-like parents at the end. ^^


A safe fighting magical girl series in the good way, with pretty designs. Its poor build, it behaved at first like a full-length series and realized its shortness only toward the last third, didn't damage the anime too much.

5.5+/10 I would liked to give it a 7.

This was a criminally underrated and underwatched series, but whatever, I got to enjoy it, so who cares! Really happy to see the happy ending, the power of friendship wins and sometimes if you wish for small things, those small things can end up being very powerful and meaningful things. I might have cried a bit, felt intense happiness and laughed as well. All of the characters were great. This show was definitely unconventional in a lot of was and definitely not your regular magical girl series. It was more of a fun slice of life and the story was more of a side note, but the story did have it's own importance in makging this series great. The plot was simple, but strongly written and well put together. The character interaction was top notch, I really appreciated the use of social media, it's great to finally see it in anime nowadays. Yuma was super cute and Shingo's sidekick was a hilarious idiot that made me laugh more than I should have, plus the show decided to use him as the vessel to a super important being, showing that this series does not take itself too seriously, this is not a bad thing by the way, I thought it was a fun little detail that this series decided to have. Again, a shame almost no one watched this or cares about this gem, but it's their loss. Overall Soushin Shoujo Matoi was easily one of my favorite series of the season, it was a magical girl show that doesn't go on the super dramatic BS route which I'm tired of seeing all the time. The directing was great and they used some really clever character designs, loved how colorful everything was and the shrine setting was super nice.
Oh, almost forgot about that epic main theme soundtrack, I always got excited as heck when that played and the OP and ED were both top tier.

I don't even know why most are scoring this so low. Those expecting for a dark magical girl anime and got disappointed should have never finished this and rated it badly. Honestly, it was pretty good and it reminded me of the old anime where the plot was linear but very good. It felt like one of those classic anime which resembles like fairy tale and legends.
This anime is definitely underrated. Women are straying from these or rating it badly due to light fanservice. Edge lords hating on it cause it's a light hearted which resembles the classics. It ain't perfect especially in the animation and character art department but it was really good and deserves a higher rating. This is definitely better than mainstream choices for Fall 2016 anime.

An amazing and beautiful final episode.

Claris gained her final form by praying/wishing to her god. She looked absolutely awesome.

In the end everything was back to normal. I like how Matoi's god gave a thumbs up and disappeared.

Now she has to see her parents being lovey-dovey 24/7. Not what she imagined how it would be.

As she wanted to say, that she has no god anymore, he suddenly appeared like "Hi, I'm back". No ordinary life for her. Too bad.

I wasn't really feeling the finale, the action sequences seemed kind of lame :( A bit disappointed, but it was nice to see Matoi able to reach her mom and bring her back. Happy ending for everyone ... well, not for Matoi it seems since she's not "ordinary" after all :P

Overal I thought it was not a bad series, had some good moments. Animation was mostly OK, music was pretty good, characters were mostly meh and the plot was ... decent? Overall I didn't think there was anything special about this anime, but it was fairly enjoyable to watch at least. 6/10

A bit late to the party on my part, but the ending really got me emotional. Very good, though I am sad that it has ended (aren't we all when any anime ends?)

The anime was really great in all. I would like to see more like it, I guess.
Not quite my cup of tea to rewatch, but there were a lot of moments. Yuma and Toi-chan have some really great moments together. Yuma is amazing, and props to Ohzora-san for that amazing performance.

So Shiori was like a second Madoka 'I will save everyone yada yada yada'
And there were a lot of plot holes. How did Pochi's demon get out of his body? And why would the demon do that without the girls exorcising him?
Also Yuma and Clarus' bodies couldn't resist the higher dimensions, but they survived. How? Just because of wishes?
This anime is not that bad, but considering the many plot holes I give this a 5/10. I'm glad it has a happy ending, but it's nothing special.

Had it's charms.

I always like an original series, and this pulled the Magical Grill thing off relatively well.

Too many side characters and underwhelming world-building let it down. Still was cute enough as a light snack of an anime series.

Would only recommend for someone who wants to watch series with a prominent father-daughter relationship, as that aspect of the show was done very well.

And so Matoi succeeds in rescuing her mom from the 24th dimension and restoring her normal, ordinary family life while saving everyone. Well, okay her not so ordinary life stays, but her mom's back anyway. XD And I gotta say, seeing her all lovey dovey with Shingo was pretty satisfying considering his dour yet supportive role for the majority of the series. Initially I wasn't really feeling this series. That first 4 episode arc really didn't do much for me. I wasn't really invested in the world, and the tone set. I liked the slice of life scenes, but the creatures seemed to clash with it like they didn't belong in the same series or something. And the nudity running gag didn't really resonate not to mention Shingo's cringey accidental groping of his daughter. Claris' backstory didn't really intrigue me either. Thankfully Yuma(my favorite character) managed to lure me in with the fifth and sixth episodes, probably my favorite two of the series. Once charmed I started appreciating the things that weren't clicking with me more. I was worried Shingo just never realizing Matoi was the girl in disguise was a real possibility, but luckily they did some good stuff with him and her in the second half. Their relationship felt genuine and touching. To be sure, I wouldn't really say this was a particularly good series, the main plot never really got completely out of the "this makes little sense but just go with it to keep things moving" feel of those early episodes, but those middle episodes, the character of Yuma, Matoi's relationship with Shingo, and the happy ending with them both getting Shiori back in their lives were enough to earn a generous 7 out of 10 from me, just barely. What can I say? I'm a sucker for happy endings, and was even glad to see Claris' bed-ridden friend show signs of life. And of course Luciela's big, beautiful tits certainly didn't hurt things either I guess. XD

This has been a great series to watch. I love it and as well as how the ending was made. It was a lot of fun! I scored it 9/10! 🥰
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
