THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
It's ok for Toriko to cry. Let it out.

For the finale, we got a boss type of monster in the form of a snake with multiple..arms? Lol. Not a bad series' finale but wasn't overwhelming either. Of course the military also got involved in all this drama as usual.

7/10. Toriko and Sorao carried a good deal of the show with their character chemistry including the finale.

It was enjoyable and I really liked it but too bad that the adaptation is weirdly done compared to the manga/LN with some events being in the disorder and some things that don't even make sense (the hat for example) but well it was still pretty good, I would love to see more anime like this one in the future, I don't know why they finished it with the military part though xD

Finishing the remains of Arc 5: saving the U.S. Marines.

Kankandara, what a fearful monster for a final boss to take down, both itself and the Torii connections. A hard-fought battle won and both Sorawo and Toriko are hailed as heroes "The Girls". The rescue mission completed with zero casualties, and with that the Otherside duties are pretty much done.

Heh, the secret that both Sorawo and Toriko know of the scaredy cat Kozakura, a well-kept one if I say so myself. All that's left is to send things back to whence they came from, as such with the AP-1 agricultural motorike, glance through the Otherside lands and reflect about their chemistry so far. May this creepypasta journey never end for two lone souls who met together through sheer fate.

Pretty good and exhilarating finale for a closing point. Good, but not great.

@Ashhk I'm guessing what you're saying is referring to the novel/manga's timeline. Not to worry, most arcs' stories are self-contained, it's just the transitions from arc to arc that kinda throws people off.

The final boss is here. Pretty scary looking as well. Good final episode.
Well, this show's concept was quite interesting and good but not very well executed in this show. There were many weak points of the show but there were strong ones as well. This show didn't excite me that much. Gonna read the LN/manga after this, just to see how much difference is there.
Not a bad show but not the best as well.

As far as a finale goes, it was.... okay I guess. Not much really happened but it was nice to have a more laid back approach to the episode especially when the last few were jam packed. All in all this anime was something alright, wouldn't mind seeing a second season but I don't really have high hopes for that to occur either.

I’m glad the Marines got home safely finally. Final boss fight was pretty cool. The closing convo with Toriko and Sorawo at the end was really nice, love the ED theme they went with today. Beautiful.

Overall I think the show had a really interesting concept, but its execution wasn’t the best. There was a lot that was set up that we never really saw come to fruition. But I still really enjoyed seeing the girls every week and their adventures in the other side.

Yes but because of that it created some problem like the hat that reappeared after the beach arc and shouldn't be here for example

And you end a terrible anime with a terrible ending. The only thing resolved is Toriko not being alone anymore. Cool.

This anime actually had potential but it turned into absolute nonsense and garbage.

Fierce battle with the Kakandara and they won. I'm glad all the soldiers made it back alive.

Second half was pretty chill with some sweet Toriko and Sorawo moments. Kozakura getting scared was cute.

Okay anime overall, Kozakura's the best part of this anime.

Oh yes, that one. It sure caused a ruckus that doesn't blend with the featured episode well.

I personally loved this anime.. and will be out to read the manga (MD please come back!)
I have been scared waaay too many times to count.. even in the last episode when peeps screamed at the start..
Did the arcs messing up bothered me? no.. not really.. i was mainly watching for the main couple and i am satisfied.. (won't mind more progress tho)
I would give a 7.5(8)/10 to this anime just cuz its wasn't really going anywhere and they could've ended the anime on a cliffhanger of Satsuki looking from someplace..

Because I read the 4 volumes that are out (I liked it) and I know about LIDENFILMS' track record is exactly why my hopes for a good adaptation are tiny.
Sometimes being right feels so bad. I'll play the world's smallest violin in my honor.

Even if I think long and hard enough, I can't come up with a single thing I think was made at least decent.

The characters? Husks of themselves that end up feeling antithetical to the personality the own show sets up for them, because that's what happens when a semi-linear story is treated as episodic. The themes? Treated so superficially it ends up feeling like there are none at all - the biggest offender of this, the Space-Time Man arc. Directing, adapting, editing? Multiple continuation errors, from rofles being taken out of hand purses, to hats popping on and off when needed, to guns that the MCs weren't supposed to have yet being in their possession, to 'revelations' that were rendered as 'revelations' despite being already handled non-chalantly by the characters before. Chip in on the legal loli, that'll be sure to take viewers' attention from the overwhelming laziness with which we're conducting this project.

'Wait, Sorawo. What do you mean you're going to make me pull a portal out of the meat train glitch? Is that even going to work?
'I don't know, Toriko, but remember we did it two episodes ago in that filler content without any reaction from the both us? It must work now.'
'But we weren't supposed to learn more about how it works until now, since this was supposed to come right after Hasshaku-sama, the first time you did it accidentally, it's just that my dialogue wasn't changed, Sorawo.'
'Bummer, that sucks for you, Toriko.'
'It's okay. The lack of attention from the adaptation team can't get any worse, right?'
'Err... About that white hat thing...'


Finally, it has ended. I felt like this adaptation by its own made me think less of the work and IP as a whole, which is a novel and astonishing accomplishment, no doubts about it. The mystery of the prop hat will be one whose dread and suspense I'll remember for years to come.

Amazing thriller full of complex characters and chilling atmosphere, all in the novels.
Masterpiece in how to not handle adapting a work across media, 3/10.

I feel this finale the Marines, just there because, guns, other than that isn't exactly a military that a japanese would rescue,seeing the anti-American military feeling.

I'm not sure why I watched fully, if was wanting to see Satsuki, or because monday don't have many animes.

The fight against Kankandra felt really underwhelming. Maybe I was expecting too much from the way the last episode ended. The conversation in the end was really cute. Both girls got the opposite of what they wished for.

Loved the relationship between Toriko and Sorao throughout the series. Overall a good and enjoyable show which could've been better if they hadn't messed up the order and explained some things a little more. Don't know if it'll get another season although I'd definitely look forward to it.

quite a decent last episode and pretty satisfactory ending for the season, enjoyed this anime quite a bit but feel like it could've been a lot more than what it turned out to be, definitely some wasted potential and could've been more interesting but it was alright in the end i guess. overall, i'd give this a score of 3/10.

Damm a Kakandara huh. The tension and horror that she gave off sure was impressive. While the odds arrayed against them were formidable its nice that they manage to get everyone to safety with no casualties. After so long its nice to see Toriko see Sorawo as a friend that she can count on rather than just a sidekick. One adventure ends while another built on stronger bonds between the pair continue huh. But this time for the girls so accustomed to being alone they are no longer alone.

amazing rescue by Sorawo and Toriko, not a single soldier was lost

they would probably be rewarded with something if go with the soldiers, but it would also cause problems for them. So it's better to part ways there. Maybe they would see them again someday.

and finally get their vehicle into the Otherside.

frightened Kozakura is cute holding her raccoon. xD

hoping for a season 2!

A pretty decent finale if you ask me, not the worst show, but I guess it could have been better.

Honestly, the show was by far the creepiest thing I have seen in a few years time and I hate creepy stuff. Overall it was a really decent show, loved the Sorawo x Toriko moments, their chemistry really carried a lot of the show, but the mysteriousness of the show really was quite nice as well.

Cgi use of character models was a bit off-putting but in the end I learned to live with it. The story felt a bit all over the place. As mentioned above, jumping from arc to arc with no clear order in them, made me drop the score a little bit. 6/10 from me.

Well, thats it! The last creepypasta story based off stories they've encounters in the otherside world. Kinda expect something big, more solid end, and a better explanations of their world-buildings. But well, having Toriko and Sorawo realizing the ideas of them 'not to be so alone' in the end of the duration was a good enough note among their episodic style of stories. The last inserted song also nice too to decently closing the series.

In the end, i find it quite fine to baited me with the Shoujo ai element, and horror-ish sub-genre. In one side, i am glad its not too horror. Still, the studio did their best-to-the-good-notes, to depicted all of the moments and made goosebumps several times. The example of it was ofc at the elevator moment. In the other side, the lack of better establishment over the other element proved me that the series just fine at its finest.

Final score (taking into account that the bgm, and maybe the ost of it was good enough): its a 7/10 from me.

This last episode was kinda meh, the first part is really bad, a poor direction and just anticlimactic/boring in general. The second half was a little better cuz Sorawo and Toriko moment, that was really cute ngl.

I love the ED, and yeah, though it was messed up compared to the LN and manga, I still enjoy watching them and arrive to that idea that they are no longer alone, that they have each other.

While it wasn’t a great adaptation, I felt this was a pretty fun show consistently, found myself liking most of the characters and got pretty interested in the story, I doubt we’ll ever see a season 2 but I liked it pretty good. Nice to see the Marines were saved, that scene where they were calling Toriko and Sorawo “the girls” was pretty wholesome lol, even with the engrish. I’ll definitely miss seeing the weirdness of the Otherside Toriko and Sorawo every Monday.

a few more thoughts on the show..

the AP-1 is cute, and does feel like they're taking a pleasant ride.
however, why not also take one of the armored cards left by the marines? Feels much safe riding an armored car, than riding unprotected in a slow tobacco harvester. Or did the soldiers take the keys with them?

and I so want to support this show.. but have spent a ton of my extra cash on Love Live Niji... not much left. Do plan to eventually buy the opening theme cd of Urasekai.. to help in their sales even a little.

Pretty good finale, probably my favorite out of all the episodes. I was excited for this show when I first saw news about it, it had potential, but it had some pretty bad directing which kind of sucks, though I still kind of enjoyed the show, just feels like a waste since I heard that the manga and novel were really good. I'll probably read the manga or novel someday, once I've gotten through reading other shit.

That ending song was really great though, and seeing them in the AP-1 was pretty adorable ngl lmao, honestly going to miss the characters especially Kozakura. Wouldn't mind getting a season 2 with better directing hopefully. 6.5/10

Urasekai Picnic was a weird experience tbh.
I really liked the concept of the otherside & actually liked the aesthetic of it as well (even tho the animation/art style were pretty lacking throughout the show). The characters were okay... not horrible, but also not that great - I liked Akari the most :)

Since many fans claim that the novels are excellent and I actually liked this very lackluster adaption, I'm definitely gonna give them a try!

It's a 6/10 for me. It would be 5/10, but the OP was amazing enough to add a point :D
