The storyline is not concluded at all, the two final chapers got me asking myself "what the fuck?!". It was so absurd that I liked it. I don't considera good ending to end a series whose most interesting part was the flashbacks -which were the part wherein the character development and emotional bonds showed up- in a random-comical way. Even though the flashbacks were interesting for me, they took too long and left a few chapters to show the path it was going to head. And that path headed nowhere.
I understand it's not a really bad anime, looks like they tried hard to give us an epic and badass fighting themed anime. But it wasn't enough for most part of the audience and I understand why.
Apart from this I did enjoy it; not bad.
The following lines will probably spoil you, so you may not want to keep reading this~
I liked Maya a lot, because she grows considerably stronger, but maybe sometimes she's too passive and does nothing to change or avoid events (in the flashbacks). Aya looks plain but I thought that she was going to be developed so I could respect her. It wasn't.
The relationship between Maya and Shin is kind of strange, as well as the relationship between Shin and Kuzunoha (were they in love or not?), Kuzunoha and Mitsuomi (did she love him or just was a trick? He didn't hate her for using him. I can't understand that). Maya and Mitsuomi (my favourite, and being Mitsuomi my favourite male character of this series), Mitsuomi and Isuzu...
And why Mitsuomi changed? Was it because of that power he got? I mean not that he grew stronger, I mean his aims. I don't understand his "Maya, I will defeat your brother so you won't suffer anymore and we could be together (I ship this pairing, ok?). Hey, I just defeated and "killed" your brother, goodbye Maya" logic thing.
