Zelev said: A lot of people give the studio shit but fail to realize the creator has a say in it. I liked the twist, and I ship the two MCs. Still 4/10, though.. mostly because MC is overpowered and will never lose because she's main character. Even though she already did lose. |

| This episode really didn't have the intensity of the previous episodes and felt like it was rushed, this ending despite being passable was a little disappointing for such a great series. 8/10 |

| Although it's an original ending, I'm satisfied with it. Even Suzui had an epic moment. I really liked the OP & ED, especially the OP, it was really cool. Overall, it was a pretty fun show and I enjoyed it a lot, I'm gonna miss Yumeko and Mary :'( And I hope the original ending will not be an impediment for a second season. |
| Oooh! Tarot cards! Finally, a game that caught my interest. My guess is that the card with the mark was the Fool, but it was reversed, so if Suzui picked that card, they would have lost anyway. And then he picks Judgment because ANIME! Too bad they didn't really emphasize the "fate" part of the cards. Like Magician being a starting card while the World is basically the end card. Aaaand it ends. They play one game, and it ends...I guess this is the part where MAPPA tells you to READ THE MANGA! |

| MAPPA doesn't want to take the risk it seems.... if they are going to mention student council disband, vice-president in the epilogue anyway, why are they making original ending in the first place??? end ep.11 with boobs grab challenge  and just adapt the final tower game in 1 episode that's enough. they could even give teaser for next big arc without even planning to make s2 just to make ppl curious about the manga. surely better than this lame final game and ending. bad marketing all over again.6/10 I wish gamble fish have anime adaptation... |

| Wow. Well, I'm pretty disappointed. This episode was surprisingly slow...the whole series built up to the match between Yumeko and the president and this was it. The actual match didn't even last that long, and everyone was just kinda like "okay!" and carried on. That being said, it definitely leaves room for a season two. Gah, I really hope there will be one! Loved this series, all except for that finale. But, what else could they have done anyway? Yumeko or the president leaving still wouldn't have felt right, and with only one episode to wrap up, there wasn't much choice. At least nothing drastic happened. Since there were teasers about what happens beyond this episode, I'm really hoping it sells well and we'll get to see what the next arc everyone keeps mentioning is! Also, I loved when Itsuki started shaking Mary and they were both excited and blushing about Suzui's "confession." It was kinda neat how the show started and ended with him since he wasn't even the main character. |
| well THe anime ending was good too.... they made it so that there can be a second season if they like it....nice |
 |
| So , does that means OAV's or 2nd season? |

JerryKen10 said: I was surprised when they did not follow the manga for its finale. I think we won't get another sequel for this. All good opportunities have been lost. I still prefer reading the manga. but i think they are smart to not make a sequel ... because a lot of sequel just keep making the previous season bad... and i think its good ending to make it draw... bad grammar sry... |
| I guess that's that. This show went from somewhat exciting games and risks, to total borefest and sometimes even cringe. Even during this last episode I was barely paying attention and only thought when it would end. I honestly thought MAPPA would do better a better job. I also couldn't swallow Aya Hirano as Jabami Yumeko, not many seem to have a problem with that, but I thought she was very miscast from the first time she spoke. Overall 5/10. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| wasn't that grand of a finale - but I'm okay with it liked that Suzui got some spotlight |
| Wtf was this ending lol. |

| How do you put effort into other building-up gambles which usually take at least one full episode to complete but dare to stuff the gamble with the "final boss" of the academy into less than 10 minutes. AND DO IT ORIGINAL |
| Certainly not the best of endings nor the best seasonal anime, but a remarkable one nevertheless. Throughout the course of the series, sinistic and organismic facial expressions were visullized in order to demonstrate the intensity and insanity of the characters and I must say it was very effective, at least for me especially for the devastated expressions. Behind it all, however, was a rather simple story behind it but thanks to the impressive animation and in particular the eerie expressions, it makes up for it fair enough. Honestly, in my opinion, this finale was a little 'weak' considering the amount of time this match took but from a psychological standpoint I must say it was the one of the most intimidating and breathtaking gambles of this series. Lol, I didn't expect Suzui to pull off the decider of the match, but oh well he is our main character, and where'd that shocking confession come from? Surely Mary and Itsuki saw a ship sailing right there, lmao. As for the President, she was quite intimidating and alarming throughout the episode but I would have personally liked to see her more involved with Suzui's decision although I do realize silence is the best action at times. All in all, it felt as though the episode was a little too short. Perhaps a ten-minute extension would have done the trick much better. Initially, I came into this last episode with no hints whatsoever as to what's going to happen next but after seeing the stakes in line, I was sure something decisive was going to happen but when it didn't turn out to be the case, I was slightly disappointed but it's understandable why the Studio would like to play it safely. I wonder where the real power of this academy lies though, judging from Runa Yomozaki's phone call with the 'President', Momogami Kirari seems nothing more than just a puppet in rule. Overall, a 4/5 to this episode and a fairly well-achieved 7/10 to the show. Hopefully, news of a Second Season will be announced soon in the near future. |

| Yumeko has come a long way since the beginning and its nice to see that she made some friends in the process.The bet for the game between the two sure was severe. Its interesting how the game chosen was one that used tarot cards which given their symbolic meaning was rather appropriate. Suzuki's confession really was a surprise. That game between the two sure was tense but im glad that in the end it was a draw. Its nice that they also showed the effects that Yumeko's coming had on the school and its students as well. That was a great end to the series i think. |

| I feel like I've seen this kind of ending before ... Oh yeah, I think its name was No Season 2 No Life or something like that... |
| To think that they did an original ending... Oh well The only positive is how Ryota mans up and gets the spotlight, also nabs a confession along the way XD. Its really not a good ending for me. They ended it the way Stride did last year, making superb first 11 ep, then made a mess of the final episode. Should have taken another ep or some kind of such way. 3/5 |
| Life isn't as fun and easy as anime. Watch anime to bring that fun!! |
| I had no idea I was getting an anime original ending until I watched the episode. I gotta say I'm very disappointed in that. I was looking forward to a certain game where it really shows how brilliant Yumeko truly is and the stakes are really damn high. Instead, we get the charisma vacuum in Suzui heavily featured and depended on. This is not how the series is suppose to be where Yumeko puts her faith in Suzui and while the other girls are rooting for him to make the right choice. Hell, later in the manga Yumeko... Not only that, it's a battle between the student president and Yumeko, yet they have a person who isn't even part of the gamble be the deciding factor. On top of that, the game they played was far too simple for a finale against the final boss. It literally felt like I played a game for hours only to fight the final boss with a simple game of rock, paper, scissors. I do have to admit that it does make a little sense by not putting that game from the manga in the final episode. That game needs at least 2 episodes for it to do it's trick so I understand why we got an anime original ending, but at the same time at least make the game for the finale interesting. Anyways, I still thought this series was really fun to watch. The ugly faces and monologues during the games were interesting. The soundtrack was awesome at times and made each move during a game that more dramatic. My complaint, like the manga, was that everyone is apparently a cheater early on in the series. It bothered me that almost everyone didn't have the skill to go one on one with Yumeko fairly. So they rely heavily on cheating. Special Mention: Saori Hayami was pretty good as Yumeko. I had my doubts since Hayami is well known for playing soft spoken characters but she did fantastic as Yumeko. 2/5- For the finale 7/10- For the season A finale so mediocre, it made Midari as dry as the desert. |

| Okay finale. It wasn't as good as the other episodes. Suzui going all compulsive gambler mode was quite badass. It was a fun ride. 7/10. |
 |
| Above average imo, so a 7. Yumeko was obviously the highlight of this show but I enjoyed others characters moments as well. Season 2 when? |
| Finale was disappointing. Overall the show was fairly enjoyable. Nice visuals and music but the plot and gambling aspects were meh. 5/10 |
| It was entertaining at least, more due to the production values (OST, design, voice acting) than in it itself. 5/10 |
| People are complaining how the anime ending and manga was different from one another. It was the studio's risk to make that. It was their gamble ;) |
| I would had liked for that last match to be longer but oh well... I really enjoyed this series and hopefully they'll release a sequel in the future. |
| Not bad at all. The finale was a little anti-climatic, but it was still a fun ride. Most of the characters seemed to be on the verge of a mental breakdown or orgasm. I'll miss those crazy ass faces. Episode: 5/5 Show: 7/10 |

sekai_sshi said: 0 chanceSo I guess with this ending there's a chance for season 2? Anyway, this anime season was so promising but in the end the three series I anticipated most (this, love and lies, classroom of the elite) ended up being quite disappointing... manga is monthly, not so far off, original ending, basically claymore. |

Or do you mean that time she lost, but got her friend to chip in more money and ended up winning anyway? Those don't count. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| The president seems slightly OOC to me in that game. I would have preferred the original arc ending. The episode of the tower risking their lives is more intense than this. I loved the previous chapters but the ending disappointed me. |
| It was an ok episode. 3 out of 5 for me. It was little disappointed with the finale but I expected it. I knew that the game would end up as a tie before watching the episode. It was kind of obvious. But oh well. This show was quite enjoyable from start to beginning. I had a blast with this one don't get me wrong. It's just that my expectations started high but declined through out. Suzui done goofed up. He should've picked the fool card instead of the plus 20 card. It would've been all over. Overall a 7/10 It's a good show with a lot of potential but it did not live up to the hype. There were minor flaws. |
 |
| Yeah, wasn't expecting them to mess up the ending so badly.... |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| It should have ended at ep11 |
| I loved the type of game the President chose and I was honestly expecting a whole different gambling game, but heck it's fine. Ugh. I love you, Kirari Momobami! She should have MORE screen time and her mysterious twin Ririka, though. I wasn't expecting that the words "Very good friends" are gonna come out of Jabami's mouth. Lmfao. Jeez. Ryouta's monologue, though. He likes Jabami now? Please no. Spare yourself. Hahaha. Loved this finale. I give this whole show a 7/10. Thank you for making me lose my sanity for a few times. Lmfao. I don't mind a 2nd season, though. :p |
