THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I am massively confused as to why the show stops here. Nothing about the invisible 9 was concluded or anything about the silver wheel or whatever they were called. it seems like there should be a season 2. grr.

the ending seem more of a end of a story arc rather the end of a serreis.

I agree with Al. What I don't like is its relation to the manga, but I'm not going to discuss that. Rather, I also disliked Randel's development as a character, he was described as this immovable, killing machine with a messed up past. That was cool. but towards the end he became very hesitant and a little over dramatic about a lot of things. In Addition, he no longer felt like the protagonist as he started having less and less to say and thus contribute to the show. I liked all that I read of the manga a bit better than the show, soley because Randel is a little less like this there. Lastly yeah, they didn't resolve anything, which they could've done and consecutively wrapped up nicely in 24 episodes. I must say I"m slightly disappointed, but if a season 2 comes out I"ll invest my time in it.

^She looks like Saber there tbh.

I feel like that duel and second part of the series dragged way too much. I actually liked some of the filler episodes tbh like the one with the princess.

Also kinda funny how Alice takes a sip of that wine and gets knocked out. Anyways, 6/10 for this series out of generosity. Surprisingly, there was not even a dose of fan service in this. However, I felt that the interactions between Randall and Alice was way too weak. That and arc is a bit out of space...

Quite a decent ending but well there are still quite some questions left untold, and it's sad there isn't a sequel or something that explains it more decently! Either way I quite enjoyed this anime, it had quite a lovely pace and a good combination between humor and action! 8/10

Just rewatched this show for the first time. It became a favourite after my first viewing and that continues after this revisit.

Firstly this show has a great cast, Oreldo in fact is one of my favourite ever characters in Anime. Basically Jean Havoc 2.0 but with far more screen time. I also really like Military shows, I'm not sure exactly why this is though, and Pumpkin Scissors is one of the better shows in this genre I've watched. It's not over done, it's understated showing just a small slice of the larger army and the after effects of war rather than the war itself.

I suppose my only criticism of this series, outside of the fact it doesn't have an ending and in terms of the Anime is never likely to get one, is the final few episodes are quite slow. The duel goes on and on and it's not very interesting really. The whole last 5 episodes could have been 2-3 episodes easily. I'm pretty sure I was disappointed with this aspect of the show the first time I watched it too.

Anyway I don't have alot else to say. Pumpkin Scissors is a really great Military series with a great cast but is slightly underdeveloped in a few spots and is also not finished unfortunately. The Animation is strong though the soundtrack is kinda weak honestly, same goes for the OP/EDs.

Still I give this show a biased 9/10. Probably closer to an 7 or 8 really but the characters are just too good, especially Oreldo.
