| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Aww, the despair continues. I guess they did go for a climax in a finale battle. About damn time. Predictable ending..I kinda saw that fight coming. At least they played the OP song which was kinda catchy. |

It's a great OP song to begin with, so despite seeing (hearing?) it coming a mile away, when it started playing it still got me pumped knowing Akari was about to wreck his shit. Waiting for subs, because from my limited moon I understood him to be either Akari's father or someone who was particulary smitten with her mom, Hinata. If it was the former and he wanted to bang his daughter ... uhh. Yeah. Good on you for snuffing out your perv of a dad, Akari. Not the best show but I had a great time watching it this season nevertheless. Good fun. Put the Madoka accusations to rest. Will watch again someday. Yay! |
| Ugh...I really hope a second season happens... There's so much more they can do with this, and it really IS like a new beginning |
| A lot of stuff left unexplained. Like who that guy who controlled the raven/the cat and met with Cerebrum really was. Or why those two had been sealed. Even Cerebrum's identity is only hinted at. Then again, at least they explained Ginka's return (and, vaguely, what Cerebrum was really after/why he wanted Akari so much), so it doesn't crash because of that. But I want to know more. Which means I want a second season. There's so much potential for more as well. There's all those foreign groups, and we know they had all the cards yet only saw a few of them. It was enjoyable enough, too. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| That was an alright ending, that final battle was pretty good with the OP playing the background, and Akari finally got to understand Fuyuna's feelings, I don't see anything bad to point out. Now all the girls are planning to go overseas, I hope they enjoy themselves. This show wasn't amazing, but I didn't find it to be terrible either, it was an enjoyable watch, and I think I may be the one of the few to not consider it a Madoka rip-off. I give it a 7/10 |
 |
| Don't know why but I wished that Cerebrum win or at least survived :P. |
   |
| Too many Akari battle cries in this episode...and since I love the OP so much I'm glad they featured it during the episode, probably the highlight for me. Although it was predictable that Akari would be able to get out of that despair loop, I liked how she and Fuyuna didn't really come to an understanding but instead accepted what they had to do, or how things became the way it did. The rest of the episode had too much hope vs despair (darkness), which reminded me of another anime that ended this week. Hm overall it was an okay watch, there were similarities between this and Madoka, but I don't really care because I didn't actually enjoy Madoka that much, it's just at least it had more themes to think about and the script was better. And yeah there few unexplained things too as someone else mentioned like the person the crow was talking to. And Ginka surviving was kind of not too convincing for me. |
| Final episode was good, I enjoyed the battle between Akari and her friends versing Cerebrum. Well at least Akari's fine when the seal broke and Fuyuna giving out the truth on how she feels about Akari. Well I like the dark atmosphere of the show, the action scenes were also great, the op was catchy, and a decent ending. Though some episodes were predictable, and stuff were left unexplained like how did Ginka survived. I'll give this a 7/10, a decent anime overall. |

Overall a decent serie, 6/10. |
tingy said: Too many Akari battle cries in this episode... Dear God yes. Glad I'm not the only one this bothered. This is not Madoka nor was it trying to be it or surpass it. Honestly, after the first few episodes it wasn't fair to compare it to Madoka anymore. Madoka is deep emotionally and cerebral. This show tries so hard to make it seem like it is more despair (word of the week it seems) than it really is. Just leave it at that. I liked this a lot when it first started but it slowly and steadily deteriorated. Not bad but no where near good. It was fine, 6/10. |
| Overall 2/10. Was never good even at the ending. Probably the worst anime of the season. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Liked this ending |
| Well that was a pretty nice conclusion I must admit. Quite a lot of feels here and there. And the action was great ^^ Esp with the Fuyuna parts. Akari was BA at the end and Dat hair XD Well all in all pretty enjoyable series 7.5/10 |
 |
| This episode was actually surprisingly well paced and satisfying, the brief sword fight with Cerebrum was probably my favorite scene. The closure that Akari got on Fuyuna was good too. Looks like I was right about the mating deal, I don't know why people kept assuming he just wanted to rape her. The ending remains open ended, which means a second season is entirely plausible story wise. I think they were hinting at Cerebrum being Akari's father, since he saw her mom right before he died. His expression seemed like a bittersweet "I miss you" look. Overall this series was alright. Tried to be too dark and edgy at times and the pace/execution was awkward, but it had its good moments where it shined like the sun (ba-dum-tsh). This episode bumped it up from a 5.5 to a 6/10 for me. |
 |
| This anime wasn't good in my opinion. I thought it was more with cool action but in the end every episode itself was a drama, I didn't expect that and it wasn't an interesting one. 2/10 |
| Nothing special |
| Not the most innovative but I enjoyed the style and I thought the music was terrific. This definitely has growth potential if they continue on with it. |
 |
| I actually enjoyed the ending of this anime, I felt it really had some good closure as well. Of course, its not the best anime of this season, but I definitely would've call it the worse. Overall 8/10 since I loved the ending. |
 |
| Wait he pictured Akaris mom when he complained about humans? So was he her dad just out with a grudge against her mom and hated all humanity because she hurt him? Makes me wonder what her mom really was like xD |
| Ah an open-ending. The OST is amazing as it is (and even bought the track from the trailer... Crazy enough, but that's oneo f my favorites). Magical girl feels.. So Akari's deal with Cerebrum gave her last bits of the "Sun" to save her friends, which for some reason had hit the missing Ginka as well. You know I still predict that she is still around, and she still is. I think why Ginka did not really die when she finally strikes her Counterpart is because Akari's words probably have shift the rules a bit... Ahh this is confusing. I wish there's a guidebook about it. :S At least Ginka learns about her Counterpart, which is why she had found it's weak spot I guess. Cerebrum might have lived way long enough to affect the curse on Hinata's husband, which was probably part of his plan in the first place... And then wanting to break Akari to her despairing monstrous state... Well.. That's just the basics. Then again, since Cerebrum can shape-shift, it would be no surprise if he role plays the hansome Daemonia researcher just to get close to Hinata... Man the Taiyou ladies are cursed. What tear me up is the real moment with Fuunya. Once you get to see Akari's dead face, you can not help but noticing her and wanting to talk to her... Rare opportunity for her, finally got the Sun girl the chance. (And I guess Hanae and Fuunya are my favorite victim-support charas.) And... Did I hear about the "Sun" having it's counterpart? IDK.. I almost killed my brain that Cerebrum was Akari's counterpart.. Guuhh why my brain... Now that's over.. Either Epi. 14 speciall will spill the remaining details... Or that the spin-off material Genei-Taiyou is giving will answer things. Not sure how to rate it. I just... Liked it. Magical girl feels, gothic-intense battles, and even teh OST (and OP song) was used properly... So I'm good. |
 "Everyone go love Cyan!" |
| No emotional reunite with Pops? For shame. 3/10 because Makai Ouji was still worse. |
| Oh, Etia and Ariel's persona or whatever that they summoned looked really badass and intimidating as hell. Pretty much what I'd picture an incarnation of Judgement to look like. I'm mostly convinced that this was intended to be a two cour show and much of it got tossed out to squeeze it into one (e.g. that politician that Cerebrum worked with seemed to be a key character spanning several episodes, but his story arc ended abruptly with absolutely no resolution). There's a manga that launched simultaneously with the show (serialized on Gangan Online and in paperback) and it clearly goes places the show didn't while roughly following the same events. So most stuff hastily chopped from the show is likely elaborated on there. Only the first chapter is currently translated on the usual sites so far. |

| Wow, that was a great ending for me. I loved the music during the middle of the episode, it was so intense. And it ended up different from Puella, so I give it props for originality. I think out of the four of them, Ginka is my favourite. I always thought Seira would be but when Ginka came back last episode, I felt like she was really powerful and cool. But Etia and Ariel are seriously powerful together, I loved how they saved Akari. And damn, that fight scene with Cerebrum and Akari was so cool~ I loved the art in this episode! Is it weird that I kind of ship Cerebrum x Akari? I mean I don't really, but if Cerebrum wasn't an evil and psychotic Daemonia, but if he actually had a heart then I would. I would have liked to see them a bit older though because I think it would be more fitting. If there was a second season, I would watch it. The ending was a pure 10/10 for me, but the anime is probably a 7/10 but extremely close to an 8. |
 |
| Hmmmm the 5th anime that i ended today :( this Feel, this is the last Summer anime that I've finish This anime wasn't so great it was sometimes boring and sometimes awesome But the last episode made a +1 for the rating i like the fight and the Monologue :D Woah my Currently watching dropped from 25 to 9 in a single week :D its normal because its the end of the summer. Only To aru kagaku Railgun and its time for Fall season :D |
| An OK ending. I mostly liked this show but it didn't wrap up enough plot threads for my taste. 7/10. |
| This was a good series. |
 |
| Overall, this was an average series. It would have been pretty good if it just would've been consistent from start to finish. Overall, it just felt like a little bit too much of a Madoka Magica rip-off. It was nice that it had similarities but it felt like it went to the well a few times too often. There were some plot points I didn't think were explained very well. If the series didn't try and get so overly ambitious, I would have thought it would've been great. 6/10 |
| ok, unification cards or not, the whole thing with the counter cards is when you fight and even if you win against your anti-card, you still disappear (like ginka did, she won an then vanished if i remember right) so why didnt akari disappear as well (aside from being the MC..) if that guy had her anti-card an defeated him? wouldnt mean she was gone for good, just like ginka would still be fighting an would have to somehow defeat the anti-card spirit thing again after all her friend cry out to her etc etc, just seems like they skipped steps there an cut corners for convenience... |
 |
| Potential. This anime had it. They could have taken it in so many directions. Maybe further explore the organization and how corrupt it is or keep Akari's split personality when she used her card to hint at her daemonia side or show more Daemonia with free will and forget about counterpart cards. Ginka coming back was stupid and predictable honestly. The only things I liked in this anime was Seira and her powers, character designs, the Schrodinger's cat reference, and how it tried to explore the morality of killing Daemonia. 5/10. |

| A few details left unexplained and a few things got resolved too sudden and too fast (i.e. Fuyuna and Akari's problem) I really wanted to know who Cerebrum is. Based on the fact that he saw Hinata's face at the end...I'm thinking he could be Akari's father, daemonia version. Which would be weird cause I kinda ship Cerebrum x Akari >> And who was that politician? I mean if they weren't going to resolve anything about him in the end, might as well have just left him out of the story altogether. He didn't exactly add anything. And yes, too many battle cries from Akari xD I would've liked this more if they wrapped it up better. |
 |
| I thought it was a pretty good series. The start really caught my attention. Part of me wanted a dark ending where evil triumphed XD, though that would probably make a lot more people hate the series. I was afraid that they wouldn't play the OP song during this episode. I love listening to it. |
| Nice OP insert in the final battle. I guess that blue haired guy was Akari's father? |
[center] |
| Well that ends that, it was an OK ending. Tons of things left unanswered as well... |
| Part of Refrain Subs for Little Busters!: Refrain Recently Played/Read VNS (Most Recent to Oldest): - Da Capo - Grisaia no Kajitsu - ef - a fairy tale of the two - G-senjou no Maou - Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo & Sharin no Kuni, Yuukyuu no Shounenshoujo (Fan Disk) - Rewrite - Hoshizora no Memoria -Wish upon a shooting star- - Clannad - Little Busters EX! |
| Show kept me watching, and I really liked the concept, but the copious amounts of unexplained fast-forwards in plot and deus ex machina resolutions really hurt this anime. Cerebrum was Hinata's lover. What a plot twist. The mom appears to both the father and the daughter, but only helps the daughter win. This confuses me. |
| Mehh all around. I wanted to like it. This anime had it's moments, but it just wasn't interesting. 6/10 |
 |
| "Light and shadow... Humans are those who possess both." For all its heavy-handed attempts to be different, shocking and "edgy"... this show decided to end with a traditional last boss battle along with some usual "power of friendship" mixed in. Very straightforward and simple. Very by-the-book type of ending. I disliked the amount of shouting Akari did after she... apparently powered up to defeat the big bad boss by herself. Well, at least they all ended up happy. Not amused that I may have hit the jackpot about Cerebrum apparently being Akari's father. Attempting to impregnate his own daughter is something obviously very disturbing. Also not satisfied by the half-assed explanation for Ginka coming back to life; maybe I'll just pretend she never died in the first place and went on vacation or something. There are some untied ends, too: Public opinion is still against them, so how are they able to rebuild in broad daylight so soon? Their leaders just declared last episode that they were rebelling against the Illuminati-like Leguzario controlling them, and nothing came of it in the finale, to name a few. For the record, I never joined the "this is a Madoka rip-off!!" crowd - noisy people who mostly ended up dropping the show anyway. I tried to enjoy this anime, and I did somewhere near the middle. This show had its merits, but also had its glaring flaws. Overall a mixed bag for me. |
| Can someone say cheesy? This whole episode was so cheesy, I will never subject myself to crappy series like this again. This show should be sponsored by Craft and it should be put on PBS. This show is the definition of something that tries to act like it has a deeper message but in reality it doesn't. Anyways I could go on for a long time but I won't instead I'll go and watch series that actually sticks to the continuity of its universe. |
 |
| It was alright, the only thing I liked was the action scenes, the opening and maybe cerebrum(Idk, I kinda have a thing for guys with blue hair and psychotic characters :D) 6/10 |
 |
| a shame so many people hate this. I enjoyed it, it's not as good as Madoka but at least we got a happy ending. 8/10 |
| Ginka return didnt make sense, it d have been better for me if she had stayed dead but like in most anime they have to made a comeback for the final battle ill admit the thing i liked the most about this anime was its looks, the character designs were very cool an i liked the music as well, the rest was meh ill give it a 6/10 instead of the 5 i think it deserves |
 |
| I`m a big fan of Madoka magica but this series is disappointing. What is AIC thinking? i hope Shaft will Sue AIC for this. The character designs looks like 7 year old appearance like and CLAMP-like design. How i describe the characters Akari = Slut Seira = Bitch and unlikable Luna = Useless and Mugi ripped-off Ginka = Lolicon bait and Armpit-fetish bait Cerebrum = my favorite villain Good + OP and ED theme song + Action and fight scene + Edgy + Magic + Character development + Cerebrum is the only character i like Bad - Try too hard - Too much Despair - CLAMP style ripped-off design - Using materials from Madoka Magica - Hurrr Durrr where in despair! what should i do? i better start crying UWAHAHAHAHA!!!! - Plot holes everywhere - Daybreak Illusion H-doujins results : Zero - http://i.imgur.com/WqcxqQu.jpg?1 Overall score : 5/10 |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| like Madoka hadnt ripped off ideas from other series http://www.kamenrider.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Ryuki_versus_Madoka_Oringal.jpg |
|
| So many unexplained stuff. Good OP though. Think im one of the few that loves the art as it fits in the show. Pretty average anime. |
| that was nice. a predictable ending. But I want to know more about Cerebrum.. I wonder if maybe he's the father of Akari? :D Also, I wonder why Visconti and Westcott aren't allowed to use their powers.. 7/10. |
