----------------------------------------
The final action for the remnants of Headkeeper now: to figure out the Anti-Imperalist Diet's game, infiltrate the facility which houses the Luminous Seed weapon and stop it from "hatching" its massive power by the control of Radboud. Reason being: both Innumael and Conrad are suffering from prolonged luminosis, and they don't have a long time of survival.

While inside knowledge will help out Innumael's group and Leo, more than just trusting other Headkeeper members (of which conceiving a traitor is like finding a needle in a haystack), the Garnet Tablet of prophecies is soon ringing its due doomsday...

It's been sometime where both Innumael and Leo had a heart-to-heart conversation (since Episode 1), and the many atrocities of the act of killing and losing people lingers a grudge upon both boys' minds.

Finally, the infiltration plan is underway: Arnold and Leo on the Luminosis Seed, Innumael and Benjamin on the drug development facility. The happenings of the Luminosis Seed are MEH, BUT once the secrets of the drug-making experimentation research are known, the effects of it affecting both normal and Luminosis-affected mutated humans are LETHAL. And Radboud is ready for his demonstrations that were once small, now attempted on the big stage.

The final stage is unlocked...and the Luminous Seed's light engulfs all within striking distance. Is this the Beginning of the End (of a new era of Light)?

Oh, and also, the creature at 18:22 marked "Magato", I'd assume to believe that it's a similar revived creature wreaking havoc upon the Empire.

And there it is folks, the reveal of MWZ's mystery. While Innumael reveals the secrets of all the things we've been dealt so far, a sudden Light shines in a particular place. And it destroyed everything near its source.

Looks like it's gonna be a do or die situation as the show will end next week. Innumael and Conrad have a little time left because of the disease and the whole world of MWZ is facing imminent destruction...also the quality of animation dropped down considerably this episode (have you noticed).

Well that was sudden. But yet this show somehow manages to keep me excited for more every week. Goddamn.

Also MAL says it will end in 12 episodes. Any players of the original game know if the story continues or not?

Wow, what just happened? I feel like this show has a lot more to cover than they could fit in a single episode. We'll see how it goes.

a lot in one episode, again o_O
besides to the many simultaneous situations, the (first part) of the talk between Leo and Inumaru was interesting, some emotions dont go away easily. also, the canyon fight was recalled afew times in this episode
we'll see if that light destroys everything or really brings a "new world"

The visuals are pathetic at this point, but I don't mind that much, what I'm concerned about is that the show seemed like it was going to be longer so if it's really ending next week then the finale can only be open or rushed. Sad, it was the best show of the season for me.

The first thing you see in the game is this lights coming from the sky and i think they do you a test in order to see if you have the immunity, so now that makes a load more of sense now knowing what happened in this anime so far. But don't take what i say as fact cus i played that introduction like 1 month ago, so maybe I could be remembering things wrong, still interested on how this is going to end, still haven't let me down even will all the weird looking eyes this episode had.

I have not played the game. But it seems to me that this is not a direct adaptation, as it is, but a prequel to the game.

I really like the talk between Inu and Leocadio there, they really might never clear things up and I kinda like that. Feels more realistic that sometimes secrets will go uncovered till their deaths and they both have kind of moved on and have more serious things to do.

There's this sense of inevitability this episode, the remaining dregs of Headkeeper tries to do something to prevent the worst from happening, yet they were simply too late. They never really had a chance since they were outsiders receiving very late information and it's an interesting change to them being superheroes swooping in and saving the day out of nowhere.

Right, I also like how they started playing the game near its end and so they obviously couldn't keep up with a long planned plot.
Like you said, they were almost there but in reality they never really had a chance to stop the catastrophe.

Another infiltration-investigation setting, after Leo finally got out from the underground prison. They tried really hard to seek the truth. Lucky for them, the capitol seemed under a heavy military deployed by the tactical maintenance reason from Diet. They separated themself. Inumael went to the drug facility, only to met with the mastermind. And Leo, get fooled by taking a fake Luminous Seed and never knew whats goin on after that. Well, they were in fact too late! So, its clear that the mad scientist was Radboud, the son of Mary Bult, the Diet, that setted those event. He did a research to entering the abyss of the cataclysmic light, to seek the truth beyond its power. However, its turned out to be a wrong thing. A mutation, coldfires everywhere, diseases. Even made innocent peoples in fear, until the real light finally came to the surface. Yeah, thats the last show presented by him and his loyal dog, acted as a last thing that these series had. The capitol surely under a heavy dangerous situations in the middle of cataclysmic light. What can they do?

Let me hope its end this prequel to the game storyline with a nice conclusives last performance, or else, its just another waste of time to ads the game contents only....

Yes Innumanuel, a perfect time to read. And I don't think Leo forgive him just because of that, personally I wouldn't. lol

Welp, that part in the end in quite interesting. Everything near the vicinity was destroyed by the light. So what will happen to the people struck by the light? Will they also transform? Unless they're resistant. Hoping that the ending is good.

And now we are at point the first episode shown in the beginning. Imma keep it real with you chief I am going to need another season of this shit. Despite the horrendous visuals this is one of the best shows this season. Just imagine if this show had budget or better production, would be fantastic.

Just imagine it right? okay, if "The studio who produced my fav anime all of the time" produce this series people will give this series 8 or 9 on the first ep. Or just if this series was produced by the studio of another game adaptation which also airing in this season,such a waste for them, that another game adaptation even have 26 ep.
I still enjoying this ep, just like my other comment,the animation with their situation is acceptable by me. The last 3 minutes is my fav part and the soundtrack is really good (the ost is same ost from game, another no budget).

People are saying this is a prequel to the mobile games story so it probably won't be that rushed. Would make more sense for it to end establishing a new major conflict instead if it's really true.

That would make sense, since Leocadio looks completely different in the game.

12 episodes just doesn't seem enough to tell this potentially epic story. There needs to be a second season at least!

Ya know it was kinda unfair for Leo to hate Inumanuel, when it was he who got Inumanuel into that kind of shit in the fist place........So, basically he got him into some shit and him kills his brother, so, basically they're even.

So close to clearing things up between Innumael and Leo, well probably not enough to fully forgive each other. Crazy stuff there at the end scene now that we've the huge explosion scene from the first episode.
