| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well this show concluded today and eh...I feel the finale was so-so decent. I can't say it's great but wasn't bad either considering the development up to this point. I'm surprised how much Juri has grown as a person in this series. The supernatural elements are still evident in this episode as usual. As for the series as a whole, I thought it was a neat show overall. |

| Well it was a nice and interesting anime i enjoyed watching it. The ending was done well tho it left some questions to be answered. Yuri found out what it's like to be alone. |
| For me was a surprise how series, because always the next episode was an expectation in the development, even this final, that not was dramatic, but after watching, it´s in the general middle adn could be worst!!! Well "happy" end even to Yuri that " his dream came true", more or less!!!! kekeke 8/10.... |
| Staying in stasis for such a long time would drive me crazy,but it could have been worse. Surprised that Juri met the founder and was brought back,on the other hand,it was to be expected that she adopt Sagawa. I can live very well with this conclusion. Pretty nice series,but not necessarily for the mystery aspect. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Oh wow. I had completely forgotten about that blonde woman from the very first episode. I remember thinking she was being possessed or something at the time, but as it turns out Juri was just summoning her, the true founder of the stasis world. Part of me feels that despite being foreshadowed so early on that's a very cheap and convenient reveal, that Juri would happen to run into her, and part of me thinks it's a brilliant one. I'm torn. XD By the way was it my imagination or was Juri far sexier in this episode than any other? Maybe it was the long hair she briefly had and the sexier clothing, or lack thereof. XD I must admit that end montage of her with the family was immensely satisfying too. So much so that I almost don't want to write what I had planned on going into this episode which is mainly how disappointed I was by this series. Though that's probably a bit of a misleading statement. First let me state that I enjoyed it. It was a solid 7 out of 10 level good series, but it could have, and should have, been better. This series had such an interesting premise and felt so unlike everything else I was watching this season that I can't help but be disappointed that it was only good. The second half in particular felt, at times, like a bit of a slog to get through. Mostly the stuff with Toguro Sagawa. Although his baby form and Juri's relationship with it in this episode was nice. That whole little family theme of the ending montage, including Majima and her brother(wonder how she explained herself to him I would have enjoyed seeing that play out) was good. But I mentioned that above. Thinking about it I'm tempted to score this higher but I can't overlook the overall flow just because I really liked that ending. Gah! So torn! XD Alright, I'm sticking to the 7. Farewell Kokkoku, you deserve bonus points for being different, and were certainly an interesting experience if nothing else. |
| The start of the first episode finally connected with this one. I think it was done very cleverly. Good series overall. 9/10 |
| I liked the series overall 8/10. But, the ending was a Deus Ex Machina. Had to go back to the first episode and watch the first scene to remember that blonde woman. It patches up the last questions of the plot: >Who wrote the texts of the True Love Society? That woman's husband >How was the text from 200 years ago? Specters make your lifespan longer >How were the stones created? That guy hunted a big specter, and used his core to make the stones But, the strong point on this last episode was Juri's mental fortitude, she managed to live in the stasis world, alone, for a pretty long time. That was pure despair, living in the stasis world would drive anyone insane. She just got lucky that she meet the Founder on her very last moments. |
 |
| The ending was pretty interesting. I also completely forgot about the blonde women. It did feel like a cheap way to conclude the story as most others probably would have completely forgotten about her even if she was foreshadowed. But overall it was interesting seeing Juri slowly going insane, but she managed to leave stasis. Overall the series was a nice interesting watch. I will admit though, when Sagawa started turning into a weird monster thing, the show lost it's quality a bit. It wasn't bad during that, but I feel that it turned into some generic "defeat the monster villian". Instead I wish the writing had some tactical approach to getting out of stasis and defeating Sagawa without him turning into a monster. Just felt a bit bland. But overall it was a nice series. 7/10 for me. |
| I definitely forgot about that blonde woman. Or to be more accurate, I remembered seeing her before, I just didn't remember exactly which episode she was previously in. Anyway it was interesting to find out that she's the wife of the dude who made the Yukawa family's stone. Juri had some extremely good luck running into her. I thought the series was pretty decent, it was kind of tedious at times but at the very least, it was different. I can't recall seeing an anime like this one before, so that was one of its positives. There wasn't really any emotional attachment to this show, but the mystery was interesting and overall, the journey from episode 1 to now was fun to watch at times. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| OH COME ON! this ending is so lame and rushed! She met a time god in her city just before becoming an herald HOW CONVENIENT |
| That specter born lady form the 1st ep saves juri who lost her sanity from boredom. 7/10, first half was meh. |
 |
| Abrupt ending but i still really enjoyed this anime. |
| I was expecting a decent explanation for the origin of the stone, but this was pretty bad. May as well just leave it unexplained. Ejoyable show, but the overall story is quite weak. |
 |
| Started out as a suprisingly enjoyable show with a unique premise and it got better every week. But somewhere towards the wnd of the series, it kinda dropped off for me. I think it was when we found out everything about stasis and the heralds, so the show lost that mystery element (what are the Heralds really? What’s Sagawa’s motive? Etc.). Once that happened and all that was really left to do was fight Sagawa and leave, it kinda felt meh. Though the ending was a total Deus Ex Machina, I’m glad it ended well for Juri. Fun series 7/10 |
| Animus and mangos |
| This ending was total asspull. That blonde came out of f*ckin nowhere. |
 |
| Extreme deus ex machina, but given how it's the last episode they didn't have any other choice but to rush it. Btw how did the Dad know that Juri was coming back THAT night? Don't tell me he just had a hunch because I don't want to believe that they trusted that useless man's intuition and that it turned out to be right. |
 |
Watch the first episode again |
 |
| I was happy with how this episode focused mostly on the life of Juri in Stasis alone, but after that, the show fell back into its old issues. Juri just happened to stumble upon the wife of the man who created Stasis and I guess that explains everything confusion about this show the end. At least they all ended up together. ... 5/10 |
 |
| This was better than expected. Kinda liked her long hair style when she was trapped in stasis. Does the time go slow for her now or something? Becouse the time changed to 11:32, but multiple times there was shows 11:31 or 11:30 i think, but seasons etc changed. |

So the Grandfather simply believed. Crazy, amarite?? Right, craziest idea ever !!!! |
|
| Some may say the ending was a Deus ex machina, and they have solid reasons, but, well, ending the series with Juri becoming an herald or staying forever in Stasis would have been depressing, and the founder already appeared at the beginning of the anime, so it wasn't THAT much of an aspull... I liked it. I liked this series, I didn't expected much from it, but, somehow, it has managed to be one of the animes I was looking forward the most every week, and the cliffhangers helped it. May not be one of those memorable series who would stick with me forever, but it was enjoyable anyway. I liked how Sagawa basically ended being Juri's child, lmao. |
 |
| They had 3 options: 1) Let Juri stay in that world unitl she goes crazy and kill herself. 2) Let she turn in to a Herald. 3) Let Juri magicaly comeback and give everybody a happy ending. The last one make ABSOLUTELY non sense, but i like hapy endings! So.. :D |

You do realize that it's a show about time stop and that the months she spent alone were nothing in the real world? The dad knew she was coming back that day because she would either live there forever or come back the same day as the others. |
| A decent finale to a rather odd show. Juri started to lose her mind after she put baby Sagawa out of Stasis. A woman from a previous episode saved her. The ending was okay. An average show overall. 5/10 |
 |
| An OK finale. As for the show, pretty enjoyable, but it lost me a bit as it went on. Definitely felt the start was stronger. 7/10. |
  |
| Wh-what did I just spend the last 12 weeks watching? For having such a strong first episode this show sure went in a lot of strange directions. 5/10 |
 |
| Final episode was alright. I was almost expecting a sad ending when she started to lose her mind. Juri got to return to her family in the end and get a happy ending. I think the show started off strong with some interesting ideas. It definitely declined in the later half tho. I think Sagawa turning into a baby was a pretty stupid development. The way Juri got rescued in the end wasn't really satisfying but I guess it did connect to the first episode. I'll give it a 6/10. Overall an okay show. The OP was fantastic. |
 |
| feels something underwhelming. i think grandpa is dead at the end and they take the last photo in shikai. |
| Moral of the story:yesterday's enemy could be tomorrow's son, so never hold a grudge |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |
| The show was fine. It had a strong start but had a weak second half. Atleast it was enjoyable unlike other shows this season. 7/10 |
 |
| The ending was okay. I was expecting a little more lore about the stasis world. Instead it was presented as something like secret base for people to escape to. I suppose that would be the purpose. People are thrown into the unknown, and then some people develop a religion around it. Then after all this build up, you meet the actual creator and they tell you its just some trinket they use to play around with a long time ago. I suppose it could be similar to meaning of life being the number 42. |
PastFuturist said: I was watching this series 3 eps at a time. Because I couldn't stand the suspense! Indeed it was a good series at the episode level. But overall, the reveals just got crazier. And then it all ended with a magical girl saving the day. C'mon. The last three episodes were the weakest by far.. "magical girl"???? Watch the "first" episode again, focus and I hope then you can say something intelligently rather than being ignorant and just saying how you feel. Be clever and think first in criticism of the show. |

| What was up with the pictures at the end? Was it just to remember Jiisan when he dies? Also how did the founder know of Juri's ancestors? Idk seemed a little silly of an ending. I would have rather had this as episode 11 and then a wrap up in episode 12. But whatever. They never really went into life continuing either. So did everything turn back on once Jiisan was sent back?It would make sense since it was his blood to begin with. Babe. |

| This series is a disaster. Asspulls, vaguely explained powers, plot amor, lack of tension, cliffhangers everywhere, plot holes, bad animation, etc. 2/5 for the episode. 3/10 for the anime |

| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| And thus, we have finally reached the end of Kokkoku. Damn this was one hell of a ride, and I never would have expected them to be taking care of a baby in the final episode. Couldn't shake this feeling of sadness watching this episode go down like this. Watching her just trying to stay happy, if you can even call it that, was hard, and I was just worried about what was gonna happen the whole time. BUT IF THERE'S ONE THING THIS ANIME DOES A WHOLE LOT OF... It's throw completely random crap at people out of nowhere. The Blonde girl, the founder, looked familiar to me so I actually went back to the first episode and yeah, she was right there. The series ended right where it started. Didn't think about how she was nonexistent through out the entire series up until now. Juri sleeping on the floor was also a thing in the first episode. And with this, I give my final score of 8/10. This was quite the wild ride, was pretty damn fun, and I like the characters here a lot. The story itself was pretty damn cool and all the twists and turns kept me interested... until there weren't really any twists and turns anymore. Once everything was figured out, the mystery and suspense was kind of lost but still, this was great. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Yukawa family, was nice to meet you all. 8/10 |
