| the ending was a sigh not that great but satisfying it would be great if jil ended up with fatina but since kaaya is not that really a bad girl though she's annoying i'm ok that jil is wth her :) 8/10 |
| Neeba's version of Susano'o being Druaga's limbs and body behind him was kinda neat, and might have even happened before Sasuke's version ... certainly long before it got animated anyway. A shonen anime ripping off another one's attacks? Certainly not. The conclusion was a mess that didn't make much sense. Why in the hell did Neeba want to kill Ishtar in the first place? Do the gods really just live in the clouds in this world, and they show their displeasure by shooting photon torpedos? And why in the blue flaming hell is Gilgamesh alive at the end?!? And hanging out with USIA girl at that. Neeba's also apparently not dead, if that silhouette hanging out w chibi-Succubus is any indication. Goddess knows how that works. Still, despite its flaws, I kinda liked it, much like the series itself. It did need more parody, and more Koopa. 4/5, and the series gets a 7/10. |
A satisfying series overall although not too special imo. I lol'd @ that helping part with everyone on the high edge of about to fall down. That battle this episode and action were kinda meh though. Anyways, same score I'll give to season 1, that being 7/10. |

| It is a shame there isn't more. The setting is fairly uncommon and the balance between humour and action is well balanced. |
| Cherish what you know is true |
| Neeba hated the gods because he hated Fate He hated Fate because he was given a shit life Jil was always the loved on in the family, this is first shown in season 1 with the weird dance they needed to do to get thru the door Jil was personally taught the dance by his father, Neeba had to learn it by watching it from a distance. Neeba had always hated Jil and nothing pissed him off more than everyone telling him that Jil would be the hero. Just like how he was the hero in season 1, while Neeba was worthless in the shadows. Now the real question is... Wtf man Ishtar is really in the sky? If they let Neeba continue could he have potentially killed Ishtar and destroyed Heaven? That does make sense, the original Gilgamesh was sent by Ishtar to stop Druaga. Which means that Ishtar did actually fear that Druaga would have succeeded. To make matters worse it means that the Blue Crystal Rods corrupting the people who wield it is a curse by Ishtar. I bet she turned the soldiers and workers who built the tower into the monsters too! |

| i was hoping for Jill and fatina, mostly because Jill preferred her over the princess (the perfect girl in his own head) in his own dream state in the first episode first season. fatina said he was the kinda guy she goes for with looks in the 2nd episode in the first season. And the first 2 episodes in the 2nd season, they just felt right for each other.... whereas Kaaya was a ***** just saying. Jill and Fatina had a little more chemistry even when they thought they were groping each other at the wrestling match (plus she has been part of his two tentacle fantasy's between the 2 seasons) |

| As expected, the final episode went through things quite quickly and rather typically. S2 started out a little weak, but ended up being more interesting and varied than Aegis which was mostly a typical quest with a few parody and novel re-jigs. A shame they really dropped the ball on Neeba's motivation, thought process, and goal. Overall, an entertaining show with some worthwhile moments, although it leans more on the side of a decently done but usual and trope-like fantasy. On the other-hand, the laid-back manner of depiction and varied cast helps give it something to remember, as well as the somewhat interesting variety and depiction of game-esque fantasy magic and tools. The series and season could have used proper focus, but then again, this way it avoided doing anything utterly offensive. Ultimately, Sword moved away from Aegis quite nicely even if it felt lost at times. Enjoyable and peppered with some creativity. |
| Did I miss something? Why are Neeba, Gil and Kai suddenly alive? Why is succubus in chibi fairy form? I'm so confused ;__; Welp...Jil x Fatina didn't happen but now that I think about it, I think Utu x Fatina would be better. Utu > Jil. Fatina slapping Kaya was so satisfying. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
xchee said: I assumed that Neeba and Succubus were in "heaven". Gil and Kai were practically immortal, so let's just presume that they either had godly powers, or they had enough favour with the Gods that they were let back down to earth to muck-around in the tower. Did I miss something? Why are Neeba, Gil and Kai suddenly alive? Why is succubus in chibi fairy form? I'm so confused ;__; They were seen in spirit/ghost form watching Gil's funeral, after all, so reincarnation isn't too much a biggie. |
| I kinda get the gist of how things turned out.. First of all.. the fight between and Jil and Neeba was good. (well better than all the other fights at least) And secondly, that bitch slap got me going <banzai!! banzai!!> so yeah awesome XD The commanders' wedding and visit to Kally's hometown was sweet. Besides that, the rest was just average.. not what I was hoping for. They used the first season's OP which I really liked so good job. Fatina has some love point in the beginning but died out later on.. bummer. Kaaya well you know.. she's not even there half of the time. Don't mention about a confession hug or kiss.. I was like uhhhhhh ok fine. In the end, the romance department was disappointing for me.. but otherwise is fine. Ultimately I did manage to enjoy it.. just had a little higher expectation. 7/10 for both season..they have their pros and cons. |
| meh/10 |

| In comparison to the battle with Gilgamesh, Jil vs Neeba was much more exciting albeit short lived. I really wish they had spared one more episode to this final battle, I enjoyed it but too much was crammed in at the last moment (especially climbing the tower yet again). Ironically the whole "I'll hold them off, you keep going!" is a trope they made fun of in the parody episode from season 1, though I'm not complaining. With that said though, overall I found this finale to be satisfactory and wrapped things up nicely enough. Coopa must have super human strength from carrying all of those staves. The dynamic between Jil and Neeba was well done and I like how Jil finally called Neeba out on his jealousy. I wish they had spent more time with an epilogue but I get the gist of how things boil down with the credits. Ki poking Gil with the spoon was so...awkward. I was totally not expecting to see a fun side to those two. It was hard to get into this season initially, but once I finally got into the thick of the adventure it was impossible to stop. This season built onto the world building Aegis had already established and I feel as though the actual journey was a step up this time around. I also like how in contrast to the first season, this one focused on the reality that the climbers faced instead of chasing after embellished dreams of grandeur and a wish granting treasure. 7.5/10, I'm always a sucker for these sorts of settings and it feels good to finally sweep the dust off this entry. |

| So it's ok to kill Druaga but not Ishtar? I understand they had to stop Neeba after he started destroying towns, but why didn't they even consider that he might be right? If he just died there after being stabbed I think I'd be happier :/ Btw. what was his scene about in epilogue? I thought that succubus or however they called her was only using him, so why is she still with him? Kaaya... meh. Spoon scene made me smile after rather disappointing episode ^^ Ending was happy and conclusive - exactly what I like. But overall it was rather average, so 6/10 from me. |
| Geeze... All these biased, angry peeps... Well let me just say that I really enjoyed this series, and much more in the 2nd part than in the 1st. Liked all the characters, some more, some less. I found the ending satisfying, even though I still had a bunch of questions. Fatima was my favourite character next to Coopa, and I was a bit sad because Fatima didn't got what she wanted at the end. But considering how lame and annoying Jil is, I'm glad she has a chance to mature trough this expirience and find someone better for her. And I'm not realy confused by Neeba's actions and his driving force. I noticed that a lot of people coplained about his character. Considering that he was someone who suffered serious psychological traumas since his early childhood, had a heavy case of inferiority complex and wish for vengence that filled him with unbarable hate, it is not so out of picture for him to become a hate blinded pscho fixated on something absurd like rebellion against the gods. He belived that their goddes is the goddes of benevolence wich protects and helps people, and he listened that everything wich comes to happen is planed by her. As he went trough his hardships and as he saw the cruelty of the world, he felt betrayed by idolised goddes wich didn't interfered with the relations of humans. He just needed someone to blame. He did the same with Giglamesh who he blamed for the hardships of his people. He wasn't fighting the opponents. He was fighting against himself. He was jumping from one fight to another just so that he could lie himself that he isn't running away, that he is going to make a difference. His illusions grew until he became insane. At the end, he directed his anger towards his little brother because he felt betrayed by the fact that his younger brother whom he always protected came to be on the same level as him and even became better than him. INF complex is much strong. He just wanted to end his existence and make a huge bang in the process. He got what he wanted in the end, and even got something he didn't had strenght to desire. Peacefull ending, with a cute little succubus. Much more than he deserved. And he was the final baws, he deserves a Steam achievement for that lol xD Well, let that be enough about justifying the acts of FICTIONAL people, all in all, it was a pretty nice ride and I'm glad I picked this one up :D PS: I realy hope that Ki uses that spoon only for molestation... |

| Art should be left alone by those unenlightened, raw and uncensored as it is, because enough refinement was already done by it's creator, in it's creation. |
| Worse than the first season. I have never been so disappointed with a high fantasy show in my life. Terrible. 4/10 |
| And at the end instead of Jil face his father in the final battle (as he dreamed in the first episode of the first season), the opponent was his brother, was really a great fight, I did not think Jil would be able to deliver the final blow What really bothered me in the plot was that Jil become obsessed with Kaaya the entire second season, I really wanted a final where he stayed with Fatina, there is no doubt that she is the best girl, and after all he already liked her since the first season The ideal end in my opinion, would be with Jil taking the staff and his desire to be the belt that Fatina wanted in episode 09 of the first season, and handing it to her, so it was a bit disappointing in my opinion see a final where Jil gets Kaaya , which was much lower than Fatina The anime's plot is very good even, surprised me at various times and at other times it was hilarious, surely will let some impression on me, I think it could have been much better, but it has been good as well, certainly worth watching it .. |

| Like the vast majority of viewers, I preferred the infinitely superior Fatina over Kaaya. After episode 1 of season 2, i totally was for Fatina, and had high hopes. Still the chances were slim that it would have the right pairing. Most of us knew that the show would bungle things, and that Jil would inexplicably cast aside all reason, and his heavy physical attraction for Fatina to boot (As denoted by fantazing about her on atleast 3 occasions, 2 of them the Roper tentacle play, and the first being episode 1 of season 1 where he wanted to marry Fatina even over the "princess" cough Kaaya cough), all for the useless betrayer who had not an ounce of chemistry with Jil... I'll give it an 8/10 like season 1. Would have been easily a 9/10 with the proper ship. Fatina is an 11/10. One of my favorite female anime characters, from an otherwise generic anime. |
| that was rushed as hell. I can't even say what happened to Jil after the fight |
| hmm Yeah I think Masanobu Endō the creator of Tower of Druaga said it pretty plainly about how he loved the first season. It was interesting and intriguing and he liked how he can see many of the rpg elements and mechanics from the games world, represented in the anime and the parodies to the arcade video game such as the monsters, the traps, the specific puzzles you have to solve to make it up the floors, the rules that dictate the tower. All in all i was quite invested in it especially after playing the game. They also set up the first season by introducing quite a few mysteries but ultimatly it falled flat behind the direction of Gonzo after they took free reign with Season 2 and that abysmal ending. I would say 5/10 for this season but probably 7/10 for season 1. |
  |
| Fatina had a lot more development with jil in my opinion and utu kind of felt like it came out of nowhere, but i'm not peeved about it. However, the ending was a real slap in the face for viewers as a lot was rushed, not answered, and the super fast montage at the end while a bad ska song is playing felt really cheap and almost insulting. barely scratching 5/10 thanks to that last episode. |
