I enjoyed this anime´s first 11 episodes
Then came the last one and erased basically the whole point of the previous episodes.
I feel betrayed.
The main reason is that the characters did not have much time to develop and tell their stories, it always felt rushed and thus robbed the audience´s ability to form some kind of attachment/bond in order to be happy about them.
Yes, you can pity them for their hardships.
But pity won´t make you like characters, especially at Akuma no Riddle´s fast pace and context.
Azuma Tokaku and Ichinose Haru are the only ones who, in my opinion, deserve the ending, because those characters stories have been scattered over almost the whole anime, making us chew the bits before we swallow and thus experiencing all the flavors, which makes the ending for them quite satisfying.
Akuma no Riddle had a lot of potential and great moments, but it lacked time.
Maybe this review would be more positive if there was 24 episodes instead.
