| Enjoyable final episode. The battle was intense, albeit short. Can't believe he asked Stella to marry him. There goes a chance for a harem. But seriously, I knew this was a romance and not a harem. Such a shame since Yuri-chan and Nene-chan are so perfect. Man, I feel bad for Ikki's sister. She got the shaft the entire season. This was a big "fuck you" to the face. Overall, I enjoyed the show more than I thought I would. This is definitely the best of the season for its genre. Main character wasn't boring, there was a genuine relationship, the plot was alright, the art and animation were pretty good too. Overall I give it an 8/10. I'd like to see a second season. |
NeoAnkara said: Grey-Zone said: Projected sale is 3k. Though I'm quite optimist it would sold more.Yea and the usual Amazon "stalker points" can't be trusted here, because of the bonus merchandise people get from getting it from certain different stores than Amazon, so we probably won't know the results until the figures that include those sales are available. Oh and the score is still rising. It was at 7.68 right before subs were released, around 7.71 2-3 hours ago and has now reached 7.73 Last I checked Stalker points for Rakudai were predicting around 4k+. Knowing how its turned out the last couple seasons with well received series, generally SPs end up under-predicting. I'd hazard a guess that Rakudai hits between 5-6k, if it's super, super lucky, maybe it'll get above 7k, but unlikely. Which it will probably sell enough to break even at a minimum in 2016. Whether or not that translates to more seasons... Iunno. Grey-Zone said: Rime55 said: I noticed that before Ep 12 aired, the average jumped up from 7.59 to 7.66. I wonder what led to that sudden increase because it happened way after Ep 11 aired... And yeah, if the reception to the last episode in Japan correlates to the general reception here, then sales should be pretty good. I think it was the moment when the status of the series was changed to "completed". That causes ratings that are based on less than 1/5th (or so) of the series to be ignored, so people who dropped it withing the first 2 (or so) episodes with a low ranking are no longer included in the score. It's probably because a lot of people withhold their scores until finishing the series, whereas there's going to be more people early that rate it low, especially if they drop it. People also update their scores at the end, and Rakudai started out weaker than it finished. There's a small chance the average rating might actually increase even higher and get near 8 over the next few days. |

| Woah, his dad is a trash. Just for letting it happen he's a trash. I don't care if he have a reason for all this, it's probably a shitty reason anyway. But he got rekt by Stella dad. Must hurt the ego. That last episode was awesome. Seeing that neckbeard get a sword in the face was hilarious. Went flying right to the crowd. That was pretty satisfying. Poor Ikki, he did look like a trash when he fell on Shizuku. He looked like he hadn't eat in days. It's a bit odd how he changed quickly from dried lips and rash skin to badass Ikki, but oh well, anime power I guess. That show went beyond my expectation. I really expected it to become a harem show, but I guess episode 4 is what made things different. Thank god it wasn't a harem show. |

| Really a great end to this adaptation, quite exciting episode, especially after the struggle of Ikki with Touka, even much hurt Ikki showed incredible strength and technique at the last moment, which expected a turnaround of a protagonist, and after that a beautiful statement of Ikki to Stella, the romance was great in the anime and development proved to be very good by the end In my opinion this was one of the best anime of the season, I expected a more faithful adaptation of the LN, but the development of the anime was also good, I have read and I really like the LN, and I was not disappointed in the anime, good soundtrack and I enjoyed the art, I certainly recommend this anime and I'm already waiting for a next season .. |
  |
| Great ending, for great series |
| That was a really good ending. I can't believe he proposed - first time I have seen that in anime. All the feelings were great. |
| An awesome finale... The proposal scene was so cute and it caught me off guard. I hope it gets a second season |

PericlesD said: I must have to admit, started watching this series without much expectation but... really catched me along the season, I enjoyed.. let's hope for a sequel Pretty much my take. Pegged this to be pretty mediocre but it surprised me in being fairly interesting with a good couple pairing. I liked the MC and the transpiring events were not complete eye rolls. For a show of this make and model it is a highlight. |
| This episode was BEAST! Ikki's "Itto Shura" was fcking cool as, haha, so was Todo with her Raikiri. Ikki's proposal to Stella... was sweet as, so many good moments. Glad that fatass's ass got kicked. I want to know what happens next, season 2? Because I cbs reading novel. |
 |
| just amazing ep.. also wtf.. ikki propose to stella when still at 1st hghschool grade on tv.... no more comment 5/5 |
 |
| The underdog rising up, going all badass after facing tough trials, and getting the girl in the end. And the douchebags getting shunned (The fat penguin getting unceremoniously beat up, while Ikki's dad getting berated by his son's girlfriend's dad) as they should. Yup, pretty good, I loved this anime. This anime was quite similar to Gakusen Toshi Asterisk in some aspects, but I felt that this one delivered better. |
sweet ending.. Season 2 pls |

BGMaxie said: I wonder. I discarded Asterisk for I left it didn't have as much of an impact in terms of the characters, their development, their struggle and their interactions.I gave this an 8/10, same as where i stand with Asterisk. On those aspects Rakudai is A LOT better than Asterisk and it should be by all means better.[/quote]By presentation, i mean it's got cleaner art, animation, backgrounds, atmosphere. It's more akiba-oriented. They ended up being made for totally different crowds despite initial similarities. Cavalry had a bit more of a western taste to it: grittier, full romantic relationship build up... Asterisk is a lot more light and fluffy with touchey feely effeminate plots and gentle personalities, it's more oriented to the kinds of people who like colourful cutesy archetypal stuff. It's actually weird how different they can be despite how many parallelisms they had. Asterisk had hype, budget and pre-fame, it's also been around longer. Did i mention Asterisk is cuter (motto kawaii)? Also, i have a strong feeling that these two series were aired together in order to create conversation and competition. renaiyuusha said: You must be ignorant of all things not current. In all of history, and actually in nature too, it's weird to pair up so late in life like we do today. Too many worldly (and therefore emotional) problems now. Purer people be totally ready to propose at that age.also wtf.. ikki propose to stella when still at 1st hghschool grade PS: for anyone talking about the final match: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SingleStrokeBattle you can go down to the bottom and look at Real Life examples if you want. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Flynning this is what we see on tv all the time. very unrealistic. |

| was hoping to see an awesome fight.. but oh well. I'm staggered by the fact on how weak he was initially, then was able to beat one of the strongest without even having any powers. |

| I was going to give this an 8/10 but that last minutes i had to give it a 9...HAHA one of the best of the fall. Also i am happy to see so many comments saying that this series is far better than they thought it would be ...even those who find it bad admit..it is far better than most other battle tournament, ecchi, romance series. The key ingredients that makes this series far better than the rest are: The Romance Development, The Character Development and breaking a lot of the genre's cliche. I am doing my part and getting this when Sentai releases it...i hope it does get a S2 but if not i am happy with this as it ended a lot more conclusive than most other Light Novels adaptation even if they ended just before the actual tournament starts....i mean cmon you have LN that take the whole course of the series just to have them hook up...let alone a proposal. at the very least i hope the LNgets official translated. 9/10 i would give it the title of greatest Dark Horse of 2015. |
| Except it wasn't a dark horse, it's a very familiar LN. |

| the way ikki suffered through out the show was unbearable. Good to see the awesome yet fulfilling ending |
 |
| Oh you know what's a perfect parallelism? Asterisk vs Cavalry Sword Art vs Log Horizon. left has better production and art, right has a better plot. Then begs the question: WHY CAN'T WE HAVE BOTH!? lol |

| Well, in terms of development, this anime doesn't screw around. |
| That was a strong last episode. The hype for the battle was much more than the actual battle, and I really didn't expect an exhausted Ikki to one-shot Touka, but that's not to say it wasn't good - in fact, it was executed very nice, and it was probably the most realistic battle in this show (in the sense that real battles last just as long). Glad that fat idiot got blown away. I honestly never expected for Ikki to propose. It was a cute moment, I've gotta admit. It doesn't really look like this will get a second season, since we didn't get nearly as much bait as we did with Asterisk. - Story was actually sub-par, but still somewhat acceptable - Characters were nice. Even though I still don't really like Stella, the stupid tsundere act was gone with episode 2. Ikki is cool, despite seeming a bit too perfect and gentlemanly - acts more like an elder than a teenager. Shizuku is my favorite female, mostly because the show handles incest maturely - she sees he doesn't love her back and let's him go, despite not giving up. Alice is a very interesting character, would've liked to see what he does in the tournament. Touka is awesome. - Animation was okay to good. Same with Art. - Soundtrack wasn't really up my alley, though that acoustic guitar in the last episode was nice. - Enjoyment was above average. I'll score this higher than Asterisk mostly because of the nearly brilliant last episode. Final episode: 5/5 Series overall: 7.5/10 Not sure if I'll display it as a 7 or an 8 in MAL. It just kinda lacks that special spark that makes me rate a show an 8. Oh well, still a good anime. |

| He....HE PROPOSED. HE DID IT! Ikki just skyrocketed into my top favourite MCs for having balls of steel. I now am gonna wait for a 2nd season |
| Damn the buildup was so intense! I honestly wanted a longer fight scene (because Toka vs Shizuku), but I almost forgot his special ability has limitations (he's like one-slash man lol). Plus he was all worn-out, dragging the match would actually be insulting for his enemy. I'm glad they made it up with that charging, all-out vein popping strike! Great episode, as far as finishing touches go, and overall not-so-bad series! |

| Oh, Sakai Mikio's other song in the アイデンティティ single is there as an insert song! Cool fight, great ending. Deserves no less than 7/10 for being enjoyable, no matter the numerous flaws. They skipped showing Alice's true identity? It's second season material, yeah, but it was on this third volume, se it was possible for them to add a scene of his revelation. But all well that ends well, they also cut Touka's master saying it was the most beautiful Raikiri she has ever done, which I believe was an important quote. Not disappointed in the slightest, however. |

| Honestly, this is a good anime that deserves praise by setting itself apart in the Romance Category. Nowadays, we have dense/wimp main characters who don't chose anyone even though the girls are all over it.Anyways, the fights scenes were gloriously animated as well as the character designs which I got to admit Stella Vermillion is one of the most beautiful characters that I have seen animated till date. What makes it even better is that it sets itself apart with an interesting story about an Underdog who comes back and kicks everyone's ass and gets the girl lol. Btw, we still haven't seen Stella go all out huh? That proposal and Stella beating the sh*t out of the fat guy was something good to watch lol.. Would be awesome to watch season 2, but we shall wait and see.Final Score 8/10-8.5/10. Please do not compare this show to Asterisk, it is an insult to both studios and to the authors. |
| The fights were definitely fun to watch. It's too bad I didn't find the other stuff enjoyable. 6/10 |

I have to say, when I finished checking out the pre-order for Vol.1 and Vol.2 this was the first time when I acted like a kid, I was super excited. |
| Nice episode, as I said in my first review, this show had the potential to break the formula and, although it didn't, the last two episodes were great and the anime ended much better than how it started. However, we're not analising the LN or the manga here, and many of the events seem rushed, so I'll update my review and mention my final thoughts. 4/10 for me, but it's still one of the best of its genre. |
"Doubting everything that you take on... That is very important. Open your own eyes, clear out your ears, and look and listen to the world... And think using your own brain. After you've doubted everything, there is a possibility of something real to believe in. To believe in something, doubt everything." |
| In the end it was still just a magic high fighting tournament show with the only difference being that there's an actual relationship to it. Action was mostly decent even though i don't like these kind of off screen fights like the last one. 2 ppl running at each other, screen turns black and you get the result. Blegh. Follow through will you? Still one of the okay titles in its genre 5/10 |
 |
| A fittingly terrible end to a terrible show. They didn't even bother to animate the climatic one and only blow of the Ikki vs Todo battle. Instead, viewers are shown a white screen before we see Todo falling over. What an anti-climatic rip-off. |
| i didn't expect much, i didn't get much. though i kinda liked it up to episode 10, but afterwards they completly fucked it up - money shortage?! btw. the fight against touka - what was that? too lazy to even animate a "one hit"? hopefully we won't see another season....lol. i already know that we won't :D |
 |
| All single stroke battle are like that no matter what the series is. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |

| That old brag got slashed by Stella, i don't know but i felt very good! XD 8/10 - whole series :D |
| My thoughts about this anime overall: Looks like Ikki got a lot of people who recognizes his true skills, power and ability. He's really not alone now because he got Shizuku and of course her girlfriend Stella. And that fight was fucking quick! And I'm really gonna miss this anime, I hope there will be a sequel!. Anyway I'll rate this anime a 8 (or 9) score overall. Lastly I'll gonna wait for the BD Version of this and I hope it got some free nipples and extra lewdness! |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| It was realy good, it need a season 2, i want a season 2 too much ! |
| This anime was 100x times better than Asteriks |
