The only thing I really want to complain about is that they didn't show Balta for one last time before all angels vanished(((

Yea that platinum end finale was by far one of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

What in the end of Evangelion fuck was that ending, man? Random wedding then God offs himself and kills everyone including the people who don’t want to die?? Like what ?? Death note author should’ve just retired after that ended because he’s washed sadly.

I absolutely despised the ending for the manga when it released, and I can safely say that I feel the exact same way with this anime ending lol. This was rough to watch, but it was completely expected at least without defying any expectations about it whatsoever barring the disappointing feel that the creators of something as awesome as Bakuman and something that had an elite-level hook as Death Note with a great start at least, turned in this kind of boring mess of a project.

By the way, why was this show even called Platinum End in the first place? Was it never explained lol

GalacticSamurai said:
Bruhh you don't even know the single thing about the last episode god killhimself lol.was he really a god?

KOTFTW said:
What.....

So life is pointless and can be recreated over and over again, which in this instance, was triggered by a suicidal kid. Not gonna lie, wasn't expecting that ending.

I won't deny, the way this final episode did surprise me. It looked at the happy ending it formed up, then said "No U" and then hit the red button which took us to the true ending, with everyone dying.

It's an interesting way to end the series and my thoughts were a bit mixed about it. I do say the authors were brave to go with this scenario, although it does make the show feel more sloppy as a whole. I was sad to see Nasse go, but she seemed to accept what was happening. Her "bye-bye" while looking to the viewer was rather sad. =(

Overall, Platinum End felt promising at first, but it fell very short. considering that I loved Deathnote and Bakuman, I do feel disappointed with how this series went. It's not complete garbage, but it never hit its potential whatsoever and felt very average.

My final score will be 5/10, mostly thanks to the good OST and Nasse being the most entertaining and interesting character by a country mile.

Pretty good anime.
But even with this ending, I can't score it higher than 8. The idea that the author wanted to convey with the last episode spent 23 other episodes to build a ramp up to it, which is understandable considering the ending. It sort of works but the context of the ramp doesn't quite meld with the level of the final thoughts.

The current low score on myanimelist just reflects that most viewers haven't found time in their lives to think about existence yet. Looking at the comments, the general idea doesn't make any sense to them. Hint, its not about religion, its also not about ....damn.. sorry, I hope more people figure it out for themselves. It is relative of course, but this stuff can take years :b

GalacticSamurai said:
Hmm bc of this show's platinum ending bruh.

Mack_Yeager said:



in my eyes it was a masterpiece , and we need animes like this that gives a very unexpected ending

ah and also this ending is better than code geass

-Kara said:
Wow. That was not the ending I was expecting...

So, is the message of this show that faith leads to our downfall?

That's the only real conclusion I can grasp at without calling the past 23 episodes pointless.

The ending is literally the rapture, the canonical ending for Christianity.

Why do they want suicidal people to become God though, is that really a good idea?

samthestan said:
I didn't like this idea of suicide victims saved by angels that become candidates for becoming god. I feel like it romanticizes depression and suicide, and forces the audience to be compassionate towards the candidates.

phantomfandom said:
I actually like Platinum End more than Babylon (I actually hate Babylon but it has nice character designs, just bad story), both anime are toying with the suicide topic (although very different approach). Though there's many waste potential in Platinum End. It could have been much better if it sticks to the god candidate war and less about philosophy behind it. But then again, even if its philosophy is weak, its ambitious is what make Platinum End different from other that toying with candidate war and God (like Record of Ragnarok). For me I think angel is the best part, each angel has its own personality and specialty. Too bad we'll never fully understand them, especially Nasse.

Devil_Sama said:
This ending is terrible.

you can lie to yourself all you like, making excuses for the author but occams razer dictates that the simplest answer is usually the right one and in this case it is that the author saw his manga failing and just didn't care about the ending enough to make it good.

Yoneda goes from being one of the most intellectually written characters in anime, questioning ever faset of existence to a baby borderline crying about how he doesn't know love all because he got saved from dying by Nasse despite literally two seconds ago having a plan that involved a mutual suicide he would be part of!!!!

Mirai and Saki both get perfect lives with no issues where everything works out for them and somehow they move on without ever stopping to question the world around them again despite literally finding out secrets about human life that would drive any normal person insane only to absolutely give up on the existence they fought so hard for and sacrificed so much for in an instant because apparently nearly dying in the past means you accept death and have no fear of it in the present, losing the value for even the life of the woman you love???

Let me tell you if I nearly committed suicide and survived only to have a gun put to both my and my partners head 10 years later, I will not say "just kill me, I accept it, I nearly died in the past so now I consider my entire life borrowed time. we don't need to have a future, just kill us"

not half an episode earlier and Mirai was going on about how he could never let Saki die because he needs her to live and be happy but guess that goes out the window now.

and finally, God just kills himself. He sees human suffering, something he would have been more than aware of as a mortal himself with access to the Internet yet not it causes him to instantly decide "I don't want to do anything to change this and yoneda needs a sign so I'll just end myself and humanity on a whim"

WTF IS THIS ENDING, ITS THE WORST SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN.

The only anime I've been watching that have episodes in both 2021 and 2022 are Platinum End and The Quintessential Quintuplets (I haven't seen AoT since s1 and haven't read manga since 2015) and with these I think of what the poker player Phil Gordon said about chess / 9LX vs call of duty

100 years from now people will study the games of GMHikaru and MagnusCarlsen - will anyone care about the Call Of Duty finals from 2019?

to be like

10 years from now people will reminisce about The Quintessential Quintuplets - will anyone care about the Platinum End finale of 2022?

or maybe it's not really relevant at all because hell even 5 years from now one's really gonna care about Platinum End?

People on reddit wanted me to record my reaction to the ending. Wow. What a waste of time setting that up. I don't hate the ending or anything. The show was already getting kind of bad at the end. I kinda wish they just stuck with making it a battle royale thing like with the Metropoliman stuff at the start. I can't deny that Yoneda is really the heart of the show.

Since god created humans/life forms, he can take it back. But, god was seeded on earth? Therefore, something cosmic or whatever created them. So, it's like part of a bigger experiment. Anyway, whatever created them, god, angels, and humans, this started quite interesting then became boring. Just finished this series to know what's going to happen. But, in the end, it's meaningless. lol. Or at least it gave whatever created them the data that their planet is not fitted for whatever they're doing. smh

FMmatron said:
Based plot armorless ending hahahaha.

For real, it's memorable and takes balls. Not every mangaka can pull it off 😏, so there's at least that.

Finished the manga too and it reaffirmed how dull of an adaptation this was.
