Well, the final confrontation was unexpectedly bromantic. I really like how the relationship of Sherlock and William was executed. A great season and I loved the anime overall. Very Sherlockish. Even though a lot of contents has been cut out from the manga, it's really great that the anime still managed to stand up on its own and make the story seem complete without much missing at all. There was suppose to be a time-skip to set up the finale but the way it ended here is pretty perfect already on its own. I loved it.

I'm going to miss this one. It will be pretty hard to come by with a show like this one anymore.

What a beautiful finale. In the end, Moriarty was able to achieve his goal of tearing down old British society and creating a new one with a different nobility. William and Sherlock’s bridge scene was awesome and really touching, got a little emotional there. Louis becoming head of MI6 was really interesting too.

Episode definitely had a feeling of finality to it. Is this all the chapters of the current manga or is it ongoing or what?

Season 2 was an improvement in every way over season 1

I enjoyed this season thoroughly. However one thing left a bad taste in my mouth ie the ending. I just really can't picture William living a completely carefree life while leaving behind Albert and Louis to shoulder the burden of all they have done. If anyone can clear up why this would make sense I would appreciate it.

A pretty disappointing concluding season.

It felt like they were just trying to throw in a bunch of Holmes stories and other references without much thought to the overarching narrative and character building. The Irene arc had no purpose. Sherlock killing Milverton had no purpose.

Sherlock was a complete disappointment this season. He is hyped up to being on the same level as Moriaty but he is always 5 steps behind and never got much development. All of a sudden he and Moriaty are best friends that are worth dying for after talking 3 or 4 times total.

The art, animation, and music were all top-notch and the writing wasn’t complete garbage, but it is certainly a letdown from the promise the first season showed.

6/10. Closer to a 5 than a 7.

Thinking about it, the only one who got a bad ending was Albert that got arrested. The rest kept going with life and got new jobs. And Sherlock and William are playing the biggest friendliest hide-and-seek match ever

Hardly, because this whole Adler/Bonde character was literally dragging this show down and I am so relieved, that they ditched her in later episodes.
That stunt with kicking a coin into a barrel of machine gun was so out of place and turned this show into poor action anime, I was worried it might not recover.
Thankfully, everything went well.

More like the manga is still ongoing in Japan; the anime altered some things to provide a more conclusive ending.

Well, that certainly was eventful!

London in flames but for the greater good, things playing out under Moriaty's scheme like the usual basically. Giving Moran-san the job to convince the nobles surprised me a little but good thing it worked just fine in the end.

Moriaty v Sherlock played out just as I'd in mind except for the fact that Sherlock would join him on the dive, lol. And that touching hug to top things off. Production I.G. know their business clearly.

MI6, huh? James Bond first and now this, I'll take it lol. Didn't feel as corny as the former, thankfully. Albert taking all the blame though, I'd a feeling it'd be the case. I'm curious to know how James would feel about this.

Switzerland now, no place screams more peaceful than that. Well chosen, Moriaty.

All in all, it's been another good season although inferior to the first imo. First half really hit the right notes but things started to take a really rushed turn from the second. While it was nice to finally see Mary in the anime, the Milverton arc was kind of a low point of the series for me. And this final arc in all honesty was roughly the same for me.

Going to award this season a solid 7/10, thus. Slightly disappointed with the final stretch but it's been a great series overall. I was a little hesitant when the series was first announced as I thought it'd be more of appearance than worth (forgot a certain idiom here but well) but I'm glad to have been proven wrong. Production I.G. treated this really well too. Also, the Op, ED and the Ost were all great and the VA department likewise.

Lmao not gonna lie, the part when Sherlock and Moriarty jumped down together got me cackling, that was oddly funny. Did not expect the lovers' suicide, and they somehow both survived in the end with barely any traces of injuries? Three months have passed, yeah, but still unbelievable how that happened from that height. I wonder how the public reacted to Sherlock jumping after Moriarty.

Anyways, overall it was an okay season. The episodes felt more "chaotic" and disconnected from one another compared to last season. The final problem was a bit of a disappointment as well. At least it worked out somehow. 6/10 overall. I'd still be interested in watching a third season, if it'll ever have one.

Considering that this season was overall disjointed and unfocused, this was as solid an ending as we could have realistically hoped for, bringing both Sherlock and Moriarty's narratives to a close and letting them escape public life together. Not entirely sure what we're supposed to read into their reunion and situation now, but it's no surprise to see them both alive after everything that happened.

Overall, season 1 was far better than this season was, but this certainly had its moments including a strong final three episodes. I'm still irked by the James Bonde thing (which added exactly nothing to the plot in the end), the Whitely arc being a direct rip-off of The Dark Knight and the existence of Milverton as a secondary antagonist though.

I can recommend u the manga, the anime sure ended Liam being a carefree person as well as sherlock. But the manga continue this mystesy line and dark storyline. And I think there is more to both of the main character. The anime creators well-handled by giving us an ending like this, because after this ending there are only 3 chapters. So we wouldnt have gotten a new season either way. Maybe some years later a movie or an ova from the new "acts" ;)

I think u wont need to read every chapter. I recommend u to read it from the final act chapters (so from ch. 48), if u sure u wont change the score even if u see that the manga was more detailed. So u have around 12 chapters if u accept my recommendation ;) And I think the mangaka writes quite fast, if not every week, but every second week there is a new chapter, around 40 pages :)

I dont think there will be further seasons, because the anime almost covered all the chapters of the manga. I think within a year or 2 years we might get a short new season, but the chances are low, so maybe a movie.

Well that was a interesting conclusion, I don't expect more from Moriarty the Patriot, even though I would still be happy to watch another season.

But well, I get this feeling that it came to an end, the brothers being divided (1 in jail, 1 exiled and 1 working as an MI6 agent + their antagonist being away as well). Not a bad thing however, I just regret that it went a bit too fast at some point (unlike first season), but that was still very very enjoyable to follow !

Just finished it, I don’t know it felt like after so much build up that William’s grand master plan was ultimately rather simple.
Instead of being a cohesive whole it was all rather bitty and ended on setting some fires; the reaction of the nobility never really felt earned.

What a plan.

Not to mention the character motivations are all over the place. Sure, Sherlock, you talked to Moriarty three-four times during the entire show run time, he's your amazing friend (apparently more important than Watson), but he's also a mass murderer, so this whole lovers suicide at the end really felt like the writers pulled it out of their asses. I don't know, really mixed feelings about this show. Nice animations and good atmosphere, but often times a really stupid plot that's trying to sell itself as very intellingent.

I'm glad to find bright and intelligent comment without fakeness and boot licking.

First Megalo Box, now Moriarty.. streak of pathetic endings continue lol
First of all that whole idea that some big fire can open aristocrats eyes and unite them with commoners is very dumb and unrealistic. Then that staged cheap theatrical fight with Holmes was very cringe and author used this same move with Jack earlier and on a ship too. My god this was awful.. at least Production L.G. delivered as usual.

p.s. but of course redditors will praise this shallow garbage as usual lol

I agree, this ending was horrible. Second season started off better than the first one but after the Irene arc everything went downhill with some peaks there and there.

I would have preferred that they didn't have rushed everything up and made an open ending than this.

The only reason I didn't give a lower grade (I gave it a 6) is because of the amazing art and the presence of Irene, I really liked her character. But overall I'm very disappointed.

I'll try to read the manga though, I really hope it's much better than this.

While this season felt kinda rushed imo, i still think the ending was quite amazing and the ride was still worth it for sure. Storywise, as good as the 1st season, nothing much to add tbh. When it comes to Lord of Crime vs Sherlock, i knew i'd be glued to the screen anyways, and thats basically what happened xd

8/10 just like the 1st season, awesome thriller show overall👌

I skimmed through these chapters in the manga and was really curious how they would end it since the manga is ongoing. Although I feel the very last part could have been better, I'm really satisfied overall.

The visuals when they jumped off the bridge were stunning compared to the straightforward art in the manga. I loved it!

Definitely an enjoyable series. It also got me to watch the BBC Sherlock series so I'd say it's a win-win.

Like many others, I recommend reading the manga if you are interested. I only read a bit so far and they clearly cut a lot out to focus on the meat of the story. Imo that made some of the characters, especially Moriarty, more dry in the anime which is a shame.

Okay, this kind of feels like an insult to the amazing season 1. They should have taken their time with the story, and properly developed it.

One of the things that makes stories told from a different character's POV fun is how it changes the way we look at the scenes in the original story. But, this went with a whole new story, so that fun part was completely removed.

They changed the location of Moriarty's death. How disappointing! Even though they had foreshadowed the place in season 1!

I wish Sherlock and Moriarty had really gone from being friends to hating each other. That would have been a more interesting development. But, this went with the typical YA trope of "In a different world, we could could have been friends". (I know this is YA, but this could have done something better!)
Because of this change, they had to get rid of Sherlock's and Moriarty's amazing abilities to think and act on the spot.

I'm saying this as someone who loves BL: WTF was that Sherlock x Moriarty moment! Gross!! No!! That's weird! Sherlock x John would have been better since it was actually there in the original books too (probably accidentally, but still)!

I don't want to only say bad stuff. So, here are some good parts:
-The soundtracks, and the way they were used.
-The way the walls were wet, letting the audience piece together that they were about to burn the place.
-Also, a tied up Albert is always a welcome sight.
-Do I need to mention the art? Production IG has always been great with it, so I feel like I'd be stating the obvious if I talked about how the art quality was so high.

Jesus. I haven’t watched a genuinely good anime in a LONG time and Moriarty definitely gave me that feeling a good anime gives you when it ends. The moment of disbelief, but hype at what happened, then the shock, then finally the emptiness about the show ending. When Moriarty fell- I paused my phone and put my head in my hands- ready to accept this was possibly the last scene of him ever. My heart couldn’t take it when Sherlock jumped with him. If you looked carefully you could see Sherlocks hand on Moriarty’s head- protecting him. My heart melted. The letter that Moriarty wrote really stuck with me and the impact it had on Sherlock showed in that last scene. Probably gonna continue with the manga. Might be my favorite anime of all time now.

the ending is really rushed and so many scenes are skipped especially the bridge scene. (skipped moran shot william when he was at the bridge & sherlock dialogue "I finally catch you")
really underwhelming ending ngl.
and I doubt they're gonna continue the anime even though the manga is still on going with the MI6 guys. (the time skip in the anime is only months, while in the manga its years, one of the sign this wont get a continuation).
But still a good underrated series nevertheless.

I Agree with you.I feel very dissapoined in this SS 2. I like SS1 more. I give 3/10 because it whole of SS2 is full of unnecessary references like James Bond and Jack the Ripper in Moriaty team,Seriously? The story is no progression and very boring and predictable.

So many good stuff skipped

In general, I didn't get that upset with skipping some arcs, and 90% of the final ep had what I expected HOWEVER that bs of Holmes and Will in Switzerland was one of the worst things they could have done. At least as a manga reader

The best ending would have been Holmes walking on a train station with his hair down like in one panel of the manga, instead of the bs they gave us

I see, its the power of friendship all over again. Ofc William successfully be saved. The conclusion kinda anticlimactic for me, even though the whole plan of Moriarty always blown my mind completely. However, the way they decided up having William and Sherlock got that abrupt final, even without showing how it can be happening in the first place (as expected, rushed ending to conclude everything on the right time, in the right place, i see). Its really not so convincing, in my honest opinion, moreover, with everyone final position. Bonde, after getting so much hype back then, suddenly became a sole nothing-but-side-character-only in these episode, thus same with the others. Louis even got some ridiculous job in the end, different from his older brother. Holy mind-blowing shit right there.

After all, Its a bit sad with how this conclude, less impactful than i thought. Still, the reason is, mostly, because i am enjoying myself on the first season more than this. Because the final look even more solid back then than this, and including more detective story than this second season. After Bonde got an introduction, everything went down hill, on my point of view. However, it is what it is, everything already end. So, whatever. I am still willing to consider myself giving this second season a fair amount of score. Thats it all from me. No hate, and moving on....

The first 12 episodes, for me, were fantastic. However, I thought the last episode was massively rushed and some things about it just didn't sit right with me. I'm probably going to change my rating from an 8 to a 7, but I'm still on the fence because I really did love the other 12 episodes... again, this is just my own personal opinion and take on the season. Agree or disagree, I don't care. My opinion is my own.
