| Everybody here said that they're dead but they're shown as alive on the last scene. The potraits were there because they're 'assumed' to be dead, it's not clear whether they're dead or alive as shown by the water ripple divination. Remember that this is anime story, not the LN story. Is there no potrait for Wilem?  mission1 said: Until episode 12, I had greatly enjoyed this anime. But, seriously, how it ended. Nothing about the world had changed, or fates and treatment of the girls. What methods that were used to improve the girls fighting ability died with Willem and Chtholly. Both main characters died without saving the person they sacrificed their lives for. Chtholly lost here memories and feels for nothing in the end. Furthermore, very little morning was done. Their was some talk and tears for Chtholly, but no one seemed sad that Willem was gone. The sage was the only one who mentioned him, not even the troll lady seemed sad about it. After enjoying and loving the characters in the other episodes. The way things went made this one of the saddest, unsatisfying, and most depressing anime endings I have ever seen. Other animes with endings like this are usually sad or depressing all the way through, but this is did not see coming. I still have a hard time excepting that this was the last episode and that there is no comeback. This ending ruined the anime for me. Agreed.. I don't know why but I don't feel sad at all.. Though I've seen it coming from first episode. I knew that she will jump from the ship to save someone. The weird thing is she got impaled, survived from the nuke, and stand in front of the Wilem like it's nothing. In Your Lie in April anime, I can already see the ending but I got sad watching it, maybe this anime's confusing and ridiculous ending made this not 'sad' for me. Nygglatho cut her hair to signify her sadness and you can see Ithea crying. The other kids are still fairy so they still don't understand the significance of 'death', as shown when a kid got badly hurt in earlier episode. Probably Grick is sad too but not shown. |

| I really enjoyed this anime overall. The ending was very sad :( I hope we get a second season. The LN of SukaSuka has a sequel called Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Mou Ichido dake, Aemasu ka? (aka SukaMoka). Tiat, Collon, and Pannibal are the MCs, so the second season would be about the sequel LN. However, SukaMoka LN just recently started to be published back in April of 2016, so until it's finished we probably won't see an anime adaptation of it anytime soon. https://myanimelist.net/manga/97643/Shuumatsu_Nani_Shitemasu_ka_Mou_Ichido_dake_Aemasu_ka However, there is a side story called Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Isogashii desu ka? Sukutte Moratte Ii desu ka? Ex, which is just 1 volume (6 chapters) long. So we could very well get an OVA at time point, before the sequel. https://myanimelist.net/manga/103722/Shuumatsu_Nani_Shitemasu_ka_Isogashii_desu_ka_Sukutte_Moratte_Ii_desu_ka_Ex |

| Although we already know what about to happen. But still, That double monologue by Willem and Chotolly with that beautifull Ost really hit me hard. "Mha hart, mah sole". |
 |
| Is definitely one of the best episodes (not the best 'cause every fucking episode is fucking emotional so the best episode is actually a lot of them :D)! Now, two questions... 1. 2. Overall: 8/10 |

| I whole-fully agree with all the changes they made from the novel to the anime in the last few episodes. There was a few weird/awkward choice earlier, but that finale was just impressive. I can completely forgive the previous choice considering what they did here, they nailed it and the anime version is really able to stand by itself. One of the novel adaptation that understood the best what it should do when going from a text medium to a visual medium while having only the first 3 books to adapt. It's pretty much baccano-level of adaptation, while having a better source material so an even better result. Really nice anime series we got there. |

| Wow what an ending. Like I had been preparing myself for it since ep 1 but it still exceeded my expectations. To think Nephren would die/ go MIA too tho.. Didn't expect. It was painful to watch everyone struggle. Rest in peace. Willem and Ctholly's love was beautiful and Nephren watching over the two of them was beautiful, too. Raised my score to 8.5/10. |

| Well it didn’t end the way I predicted it would end. Chtholly or Willem dying was the obvious prediction. I was trying to make the not-so-obvious prediction that: But anyway, I liked how they ended it here. The author did a good job. High tension, good emotional impact, clean art, and an excellent soundtrack. Scarborough Fair is going to be a song that I will remember for a while, along with the other songs in the series. The story was good, but it is inconclusive as there is more to the story that they can adapt. Nevertheless, I am very satisfied with the ambiguous ending and how they treated the characters. Seeing and perceiving the world they live in through their eyes was the main focus of this anime, and that is what made it so enjoyable to watch for me. Here’s hoping that we get a sequel somehow, some way… Regardless if you liked or disliked this anime, here's one final message that you should take to heart:    |
 |
| I can't believe that it ended like that, What a sad finale, I don't cry often with anime but damn I just couldn't handle it. 9/10 and AOTS for me.- |
| Pretty intense ending if you ask me! Quite liked it. But I must say that I totally expected a different kind of anime when I first read the synopsis and watching the first episode. In the end the pacing was still a tad bit too slow for me to actually enjoy, but the character development wasn't all too bad though. So all in all a nice watch! |
 |
| This episode left a tear in my eye... especially when Chtolly took that sword and started walking to the end of the ship. And the OST didn't help either... :( Still it was a 10/10 moment. I really enjoyed this anime but it was slightly disappointing for me the fact that they didn't explain a lot of things. I still don't get why that girl with red hair wanted Chtolly, she was dead right? So why she wanted Chtolly? And why Chtolly didn't try to escape... Many things i understood thanks to people commenting here and explaining a lot of things. At least those 2 girls survived... That ending was so painful to watch!! R.I.P :( I doubt that there will be a 2nd season but some OVA's to finish the story would be nice. I will definitely miss everyone, the little girls were always so funny and happy :)  <3 8-9/10 |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Very rare to see a MC so cool as Willem. Sad end but the anime is worth watch. The only thing i dont like is the monsters design. |
| Lots of potential that ultimately failed to manifest due to clunky pacing and writing. Some good tracks, some good moments, and still enjoyable, that this is one of my favorites of the season is more a testament to the quality of the season than the quality of this show. Recommend reading the LNs. |
| I wanted to enjoy this so much, and I did to an extent, but I couldn't shake the feeling of dread I've had since episode... one... Not only did it make this hard to watch, it ruined some of the joy I should have had during the happier moments of this anime. It was all to easy to tell what kind of ending this was going for... Still hit like Truck-kun though, and still really enjoyed this anime anyway... And this was an absolutely fantastic finale for this anime. That ost was beautiful, that battle was epic, and this ending was sad. Now someone please give me an explanation to that ending so I can leave truly satisfied, I'm assuming they lived because of the ripples. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| one of the best end.. in my opinion... hope for 2nd season.. |
| The song for the one who has fallen in battle. Damn it, I can't contain all these feelings. T_T |
| Wait, Nephren died too? Wtf what's the point of Ctholly waiving her hands on Nephren to somehow stop her from exploding? Or the three are all alive somehow? Smh this is code geass all over again 6/10 |

Answers: 1. Both are presumed dead. We know for sure that Chtholly is dead but Willem and Nephren might be alive  Screenshot by @Octave_. 2. Yes, that's Chtholly. It's a flashback to when she was born. |
 |
| When I saw the first episode of this I thought to myself, this is probably going to be my favorite anime of the season....and I was right. God this one got me good....as soon as they started to play Scarborough Fair....I lost it. I'm so sad now..... might have to read the novel.... 10/10 |

| We all are a masochists... We all know where is gonna go this one. Damn me and my masochism :'( That final scene, was very vague for all the Anime viewers. I know now that I have read all the previous post in this thread. But I wish I have never knowed. Now I'm more sad knowing that's not a rebirth... Anytime I thought about that I'm more sad :'( that scene is so fucking and unnecessary sad, the beautiful birth and the sad death all in one. Just why :'( |

In Your Lie in April anime, I can already see the ending but I got sad watching it, maybe this anime's confusing and ridiculous ending made this not 'sad' for me. fyi this scene is anime original. the LN just tell she fought endlessly and her memories faded with it, willem unconscious until the end of battle and chtholly has forgotten his name before she jump from the ship i prefer the LN ending, anime ending is more dramatic but the LN is more tragic IMO, still love it though Yeah. I've seen many anime with different story than the original source, that's why I said it's 'anime story' not the 'LN story' but everyone keep saying they're dead.. |
Damn, the juxtaposition of both scenes from the song and the exact matching at 1:42 where chtholly says she's the happiest girl in the world. |

Just why :'( These posts nailed it: " Although she was born into this "half apocalyptic, restless, completely unsavable world", she was able to live her life to the fullest and become the happiest girl the the world" And: "it's a good way to let us know her story has reached it's end. At the very end of her life we are brought back to see the beginning of it, where her legacy starts". I prefer to keep the first one... The second one, it's just unnecessary sad :'( |
