| And so it ends, very emotional episode, I somehow survived 25 weeks of this project. Bye Bye Sami and Yuuhi, I hope Mizukami has better luck next time, we still need a Spirit Circle adaptation but not like this. Yakko cute as always, she makes a great pair with Shimaki. |
    |
| This episode's final battle and sendoff is quite fitting for the show. All the music played for this specific finale felt like it was a montage and a celebration for the knights and characters as their sendoff and goodbyes. I mean, yeah, this was probably the most safest and easiest way to end the show lol. Tears were shed too. |
 |
| Samidare is humbled, and everyone is relieved of the battle of their lives with Anima taking away all of their powers for a sad farewell. But for both Amamiya and Mikazuki, their duel from before hasn't been resolved, and this is their final confrontation to determine the strongest before all powers are gone for good. And even then, both have grown quite a lot, though Amamiya is less agile than Mikazuki. The obvious tropey timeskip thereafter (because it's an old work after all), and Anima comes back summoning Amamiya to catch up of the 10 years since and a future diverged for the better with everyone growing up and Samidare being cured of her illness. Reliving the moment of their lives by revisiting the beach spot where they had their battle, the planet moves on being the bright future it is today. What a great ending this was...if the production was at the very least competent enough. It's just sad that Satoshi Mizukami's works get bludgeoned into this state, where the story and characters were the anime's only constant support. I pray that Spirit Circle would not get this treatment if it was adapted in the future... |

phantomfandom said: I find this anime have an unexplanable magic inside that make me keep watching, but I expect a deus ex machina solution. Exactly, somehow we have managed to get through this. From my perspective, i find some moments and latest episodes somewhat enjoyable. If only production values were little higher. Having really hard time figuring out how to rate this as whole. |
| This was a 1-2/10 adaptation of a 9-10/10 source material. Please for the sake of everything good in the world keep your hands off Spirit Circle NAZ (and off any other work preferably, no author deserves this). |
 |
| And so we end with a "where are they now" style epilogue...as expected, tbh. My biggest surprise was Hyou landing Yayoi. Good for him lol. I feel like my intermittent comments over the weeks already sum up my thoughts on this series as a whole. Wasted potential. One of the most poorly drawn and animated series I've watched in a bit, with confusing and confounding pacing problems mostly earlier on. I'm not a manga reader as I've said, but I could tell, so I can only imagine how disappointed they must've felt after waiting so long to see a series they loved finally get an adaptation only for this to be the end result. I won't say it's terrible purely because I ultimately did like the story. I can see what others saw in it. But yeah, this adaptation just wasn't it, 5/10, being nice. |
| I cannot believe it guys, the final chapter was actually good. It's so sad that the animation of this series was so fkng bad, because I really feel this could have been really good... oh well, even if I hated the animation of every episode, the last one was 10/10 for me, I got satisfied from watching it, and overall I cannot said I did not had fun watching this, I'll miss it. Could have been a 7 or even a 8 from me, but I cannot forgive this kind of animation on a story that had so much potential, 4/10 (I would give it a 3,5 if I could). |

Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it. |
| I craied ;-; such good show and ending |
| It's finally over. Worst new anime I watched this year. |
| the story was good, it had some good moments and I always love a happy ending but I can't ignore the animation, even when I normally don't care about it this was awful. 6/10. |
| Thus another example of why you shouldn't make a big deal of a mediocre manga and then it just gets a worse anime adaptation... 6/10 this will never see the time of day in my memory nor will it for many other anime watchers I'm sure with such a low score like that. |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| This anime was a lot rushed with a horrible animations a lot of time but, for some reason I liked and I can't explain why. About the episode, anyone can explain about Sami doing 2 finger/ V on the last scene ? Just a "victory" or have another meaning ? |
Luarth said: Só a história sendo tão legal pra segurar a barra dessa animação ruim.história boa com tudo de ruim no resto, apenas F |
| Well at least they showed the finale properly. |
| Such a great story. But the animation 💩. Also I loved the music, both the Soundtrack and fucking amazing Theme Songs. Couldn't leave it just because of the story, but damn you NAZ |

Just a "victory" or have another meaning ? When she says "Invincible" it's a call back to the chapter when she was asked by Nagumo how does she feel and she also says invincible but now she's a normal human |
|
| And it is over, i survive! I actually liked the end, it is was very emotional. But the final battles with that animation was terrible, i don't know how this was even approved lol. I read a lot of parts of the manga while watching including the end. But unless this series somehow got a god tier animation, i doubt i would enjoy that much. A lot of stuff in the story is extremely dated and convenient. Whatever who was directing this should get some original freedom to fix how the story develop and half of the characters are really boring. it is a 5.5/10 for me. But still not the worst thing i watched this year. |
| Honestly. Not sure if it was because of the generic or lack of interest production, but there is a part of me that could not get into this at all. Despite some good points in there, like good story, good characters, or some at least. It just felt...Flat for me. To the point I want to like it, but it's that feeling of how bland it felt, that is turning me away from.It's like, you hear how good the manga is, but from evidence of this, you wouldn't know that at all. |
| just gonna be generous and give it a 5. at least the backgrounds art was consistently good. |
| At least the epilogue was good and some moments here and there scattered throughout the anime. |
 |
| I personally think this series was way better than people give it credit for. This final episode showing the finality of the plot and these people having to return to their daily lives and having to say goodbye to their partners was something you don't get with a lot of shounen series. |
| "Do you want me to take you away... to a place in this city where wishes come true?" |
| The finale was actually quite well done and emotional. It would’ve hit harder if the pacing and animation of the overall story weren’t so bad in this adaptation. But I did enjoy seeing everyone happy and married or successful. Will miss my baby anima I think the actual story is actually really good and you can see why the manga is so highly rated but it’s hard to rate an anime based purely on what the source material is. Ultimately we can only go off of what NAZ gave us which was an awful adaptation and poorly produced anime. This was a below average anime with some average to slightly above average moments. Hopefully that spirit circle one isn’t as bad. |

| Aside from the bad production quality, the story execution in my opinion went from bad to decent going into the second half. Overall, as pointed out by literally everyone, a very disappointing adaptation of an unique story. |
 |
| Wait I thought Samidare and Yuuhi were supposed to have kids in the end? Or was I misinformed.. |
| at last the suffering has ended! a big middle finger to you incompetent studios! one of those good series turn-out to be bad adaptations...oh well... 2/5. 4/10. |
 |
Inexplicable said: the studio didn't bother to adapt that scene, it happens in chapter 64.5 which is an extra but 100% canonWait I thought Samidare and Yuuhi were supposed to have kids in the end? Or was I misinformed.. |
|
| Well, that may have been the best episode of the entire series. At least we got a strong ending. And, overall, I certainly enjoyed it. With that being said, I imagine I'll check out the manga before too long. |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| Finally I'm done with this. It started off nice but they started presenting it poorly by the end. It's sad how this is 24 episodes long and still had no impact on the viewers. I mostly had to cringe in the emotional scenes. The only scene I found slight bit emotional was when the beast knights started disappearing. Anyway, it's good that everyone had an happy ending. It was surprising to know that Shimaki and Hakudou got married. Overall 5/10. It's unfortunate that I'm rating it so low even though I found the story interesting. |
| Very unique show, but the animation was terrible. 6/10. |
 |
| I love when a series has a proper epilogue. Despite the bad start, it did seem like the animation got a little better over time, or maybe I just stopped noticing. Either way, happy to see the end of this story again. |
| Okay this show is dumb, enjoyed it a little bit but that random out of nowhere hakudo and shimaki sail is super dumb 1/10 just for that |
 |
| Well, ending was pretty good. But the anime itself isn't, it would be far better to watch a anime about the off screen slice of life/coming of age portion leading up to timeskip rather than this anime itself. Other that low quality production, the main problem this anime has are- 1)Story and presentation is too simple. This anime follows super sentai/power Ranger episode format when bunch of heroes fight the new monster every episode. This format is too predictable, uncreative and extremely boring (plus it's commenly used for anime originals and most manga hardly such rudimentary story presentation). Even author's other anime original work Planet With use this format, so i guess it's his regular style. But even compared to planet within this style hardly makes sense in a fantasy story such as this either.(it not like they are giving homage to sentai shows here, so it makes it look lazy writing). There is hardly any plot twist or interesting reveal setup either 2)most villans are bunch of non speaking npc rocks. In my opinion For a action show, it the death of show if u are fighting a wall. A good eg of this is the two deaths of major characters- whatever character development we saw in Hangetsu Shinonome death is extremely undermined by the fact that he is defeated by some low level rock. Most evident in revenge for Tarou Kusakabe against a rock, which looks extremely stupid. Also such uninspiring character design of those rocks doesn't help either. Also i found the battle technique and it's usage underwhelming too 3)i heard a lot of people say it's character driven story. But it like the most basic character exploration that is present here which can be found in most story (I know they did it for twelve character, but it's still underdeveloped). Eg - male protagonist relationship towards his family other than grandpa like what about his mom or aunt. There don't address much about female character's relationship with irresponsible dad either. Forget about stuff like Taiyou's parents negligence and nagumo's lies towards his wife. Don't know if it's a anime problem and some content is cut or not. But it's super basic for a character driven story for what is present in anime. 4)There are lot of interesting thing like Amamiya and Mikazuki's rivalry or animus's backstory or romance relationship between the characters or even Asahina families struggle which simply doesn't hit the spot.Most of all, I can't really take samidare destroying earth seriously no matter how many times they repeat it's serious because it doesn't look serious at all. Overall it's a ok show to watch with a good last episode. But it's hardly at equal level to a action manga. |

I find that underwhelming if it's depending on character driven story. action wise it's just super sentai similar fight with bunch rocks, i hardly thing sakuga is the only problem here. Eg - if bleach was from start to finish a story about ichigo and group fighting bunch of hollow with different shape. It would be super boring too I personally have enjoyed fights of quite a bit of poor sakuga shows like 7 deadly sins s3 or berserk 2017 too. I absolutely love watching the battle in kingdom s1 too. so no, i am not making any lame argument here. Even if it's has the best animation and better design out there, it wouldn't still be anything more than ssss gridman or SSSS.Dynazenon |

| Lol. What have i even watched... 1/10. |
 |
| In the end, it was a happy ending! |

on 
| I appreciate the history behind the battle and revealing the fates of each individual. That alone brought my rating up from 6 - 8. Overall, not a bad anime, just a bit slow and unclear in some areas. My fav character - Hangetsu Shinonome, hands down. |
| rewatched the anime again. fucking stupid and shitty and i hate this so much |
| I had to pause at 20:00 since got a phone call then went to bed, was nice to finish the rest today. Relatable, thank you+I'm sorry on repeat... I'm back. I've seen a lot of people have issues with shipping at the end, I think it matches very well personally. Looks like the Earth will hopefully last 1100 years before possibility of Earth breaking psychics returning. 5/5 episode because liked it UwU |
