Leaving the show on a cliffhanger for season 2 was predictable, with a particulary lame ending where they realise they're half way.

I don't know if i can be bothered with season 2 next year.

It was a pretty good episode, although some things still felt a bit rushed. I was pretty sure Kaaya and Neeba were going to betray Jil at the same time, but I wasn't sure how. The "only halfway through" thing was expected since they went through the tower waaay to quick. The second season was also to be expected since if anyone remembers the end of the opening there was a poster behind Jil and Kaaya that had "2009.7.." with everyone in Jil and Neeba's parties on it, which was a dead giveaway. Gilgamesh's actions were quite surprising, although everything else wasn't.

I actually liked the series compared to some of Gonzo's complete failures for shows, so I give it about an 8.

Found this episode to be pretty cool, though I hated this kind of cliffhanger ending.
Sucks that we have to wait until 2009, to see the conclusion =/
Overall, I found this anime to be pretty good. Gets an 8/10 from me.
Oh, and I hope we get FatinaXJil on the 2nd season =P

Haha you're so right !

What a bad way to end a series, the character development was extremely weak this episode and I don't speak about the ridiculous plot : "Oh, so that was only the guardian of the tower, there's a second tower after that ?" I cracked up at this point, it was so lame, it ressembles the worse RPGs honestly. I'm still wondering right now why I watched the full series, and I'm forced to downgrade a little this season (6/10 instead of 7/10) just for that absolutely ridiculous episode. Really, we were Gonzo'd once again.

Well, it's SUPPOSED to be half a parody, after all...
It was exactly for this reason that I expected Druaga to break the Gonzo curse juste as Gurren Lagann broke the Gainax curse last year : both shows knew exactly how much and when did they have to take theirselves seriously.

Well the show wasn't that bad, I guess, but nevertheless it had it's downs... and not a few of them... The final episode was so-so but the thing that really pissed me off was what Kaya did. I knew she was gonna betray everyone but she should have at least left Jil without tying him to her emotionally before leaving (I mean the whole kiss and confession scene). It's like she enjoyed seeing him suffering or what... (making him go through that mini-tower decieving him the whole time and even making him see that he was nothing but stepping stone to her). Maybe she wanted him to wait for her to return from the tower and even forgive her for what she did, but I'd very much love to see her die a painful death after beign tormented by her consciousnes... and well err... I'd like to see Fatima x Jil pairing 'cause both of 'em are quite naive and kind-hearted lads, so I guess they just fit together unlike those treacherous bastards (yeah, I mean Neeba and Kaya). Or maybe the best way to pay her back would be rejecting her when they meet again and saying her that he hates her ('cause there still is quite a chance that she harbours feelings of sort towards him...)... sfx:evil ];)

I showed so much more interest in this last episode when compared to the rest of the episodes.

Anyways, this last episode just proved that if Gonzo makes an effort, it can really make something nice. Overall, episode 11 and now 12 > rest of the first season. Gets a 7/10 from me.

Now as for Sword of URUK, keep it the way that episode 12 showed, and I'm game for it. But I know that in the end, I'll be watching it.

The third is the King Gilgamesh.
He was the badass at the end of the episode. He said that HE possessed the Blue Crystal Rod and that "WTF, things aren't finished, bitch, the fun has just begun".

I really liked this episode, and I'm actually quite happy about the prospect of another series. They have a really solid base on which to build, although I hope they make some improvements next series, such as working on pacing and some more characterisation.

Holy shit. Great ending to the first series. Can't wait for the second season. But waiting until 09? That's fucking ridiculous. Still Gonzo has some things to work out. For starters that consistent change in plot throughout the series.

Overall I give it a 8. I was going to give it a 6, but that ending just blew my mind away.

Considering how many questions the show had to answer, I think this was the only plausible way it could have ended. I'd rather have a cliffhanger ending than a horribly rushed conclusion.

I both loved and hated the final episode. Loved because it was great, with an awesome ending. Hated because that ending is leading to a year-long cliffhanger instead of an episode 13. Overall, an 8/10 from me which is probably a bit too generous as the middle episodes of the anime were fairly bad.

Dude episode 12 was the BEST thus far.
I wonder what the 3 betrayal will be!

Jil encountered 2 out of 3 betrayals which where Kaaya and neeba the spirit of the Ancient Tower predicted 3!!


MAN Gonzo better hurry up and release The Sword of Uruk fast!!!!

You might be right!

What makes me wonder is that WHAT if the one to lose his life in the battle against Druaga was Gil and the one sitting on the throne is actually Druaga. At this point anything is possible!

GAME OVER
PLAY AGAIN? (INSERT COIN)

Seriously, I never saw that coming. I thought we are heading to some hopeless, very lame ending - the kind when the series has been cut because of the usual (financial) reasons - and what a nice surprise. But Kaaya.... that means there won't be her too much in second season, noooooooo :(
Oh well. Final score 6.5/10 :)

This show is kind of a love-hate for me. I really enjoyed the funny parts, and hated the somehow pale character development.

Jil x Fatina? No way! She looks as if she is at least 5 years older than him (or is it just me?).

All in all it was not the brilliant RPG parody I was hoping for. But nevertheless, for me it had way more good than bad parts. And I didnt expect it to end like this, which is a good sign.

So I give it 8/10 !

this series turned out to be....too ordinary

It's not extremely bad but not good at all because the "plot" is one of the most plain plot I have ever seen and the characters are really really badly portrayed....

And the worst is....second season in 2009? WTF? What is this "only the midway of the tower"??? It was really lame.... But this is still waaay better than Night Wizard (the series I've rated lowest)...
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

A decent serie, ep 12 is quite good...it impressed me for a typical dull anime...
turned the score for the better. i would give 8/10 for a good ending, otherwise i would have sticked to 7/10

and the 2nd season probably explains why this picture was shown originally:


it was THIS picture that originally caught my attention to this anime..but i was dissapointed not to see anyone of them wore that armour..(in the beginning i thought "oh they might get better armour later" but i was wrong >.< )

my question lies, WTF Y IS AHMEY IN THAT PICTURE!?

Gah, just when this series was actually getting good, it has to pull a Code Geass on us and deliver a second season a year later.

I totally did not see that ending coming. Now we have to wait an entire year for the sequel T___T The series started off hilariously, got kinda meh in the middle, and really picked up at the end. I'll definitely tune in, though.

Leave it to Gonzo to animate that Druaga guardian like that. They can't go one series without having animation like that xD

And I totally agree with the Neeba being a dick thing. I'm not too fond of Kaaya either, now.

I do hope Neeba and Kayaa get killed in second season! That would really make my day cause I hate betrayers like these fools! Other than that my sadness goes to the death of Ahmey. Too bad Kayaa even betrayed her!
