Pretty lovely conclusion to the series, really nice work Shaft! I quite liked the interesting atmosphere that was created with the various flash backs and backstories of the characters together with the mystic backstory/fairy tail part at the end so all in all it was a pretty great series!

The anime was kinda weird

It was somewhat enjoyable and i I liked trying to piece things together, but still not that great.

The finish is a bit rushed and not show anything of what happens after the restart, but do not want to reject this episode.
After all it was a good story, and the plot had a purpose in the end.
Nice and quite interesting characters, they could have a better characterization, however, drawings and animations as sufficient quality, with many ups and downs. I greatly enjoyed the soundtrack, the color design and the character design. This TV series has managed to surprise and please me at the end, then, the vote of this show is 7/10.
I wanted to give him a little more, but the SHAFT not been able to bring out the full potential of this show.

Uhh...what?

Yeah, I'm lost and had to read another thread on this board just to understand what the fuck happened. Looks like I'm going to have to Wiki it.

The songs were great, but the plot and ending were so, so bad.

I like this show but there was a lot wrong with it, Think it could have done with 2 or 3 more episodes since some details are not explained at all and when these are things that lead to the ending of the show I just cant really fathom it out.

7/10 it was a good show in my opinion but could have been better.

It was an amazing finale, or at least I think so...but where did Kuroha actually get his name? I it a combination of someone's first and last names (i.e. Enemoto Takane = Ene)?

Ugh, really poorly done anime all around.

As much as I dislike certain other Shaft shows for being all style, little-to-no substance, this show probably epitomizes that the most. Also, the animation was significantly inferior.

I haven't seen the music videos or read the manga or light novels, but they're probably better alternatives than this.

2/5 for the episode, 3/10 for the show.

I didn't get the ending tbh. So everyone is alive again in the real world? But why did Marry say "It could have been like that IF I went back"? Btw didn't expect Marry to have such a impact on the story. This is one of the most confusing anime I have watched. Anyway I guess everyone is alive again and happy which makes me happy too =P. 7/10

I reaaalllyyy enjoyed MCA!! Though I will admit that the ending was rushed which made it very confusing for most of us (tbh the whole series was pretty rushed, 12 episodes was not enough.) Something that I found to be kind of weird was how everyone was bothered by the animation and the the head tilts, while i found the animation to be absolutely beautiful, it did not bother me one bit.

Overall I give MekakuCity Actors annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn 8/10!!!

Well, I don't really understand this episode... I think I will need to watch it again. But it was quite good xD Ayano came back!
By the way, I wonder if Hiyori also shouldn't come back xD

Decent ending. Shintaro isn't surprised about Takane being Ene it seems (never shown). Too bad Takane got to confess to Haruka and dam ShintaroXAyano was gonna happen but they both backed out.

I'm sooooo glad this series is over. I wanted to like it. I started out liking it. I just couldn't stay interested though and every episode was a chore to get through. Now, on to something better!

Ayano looks so cute without her scarf.
Her long hair and that dress are perfect.

Only reason to watch the show.
dunno bout you guys but she looks like a runaway cancer patient to me. I mean, look at her eyes; they're unfocused.

"Im fucking confused" and "What the fuck is happening" were my only reactions throughout this episode.

But oh well, I enjoyed the characters' interactions and the plot actually made sense for me at some episodes, but this last ep made it blurry again. 6/10

This is really bad adaptation. I dont know the source story of this but imo this anime as a whole is a failure. I believe this story can be a great anime if they make a new adaptation.

After finishing reading the novels, I decide to give the anime a go.... well, what can I say, it was dreadful.

I hope that Mekakucity Reload thing they’re working on is better than this.

3/10

All I can say is "Holy rushed"
I mean seriously, No explanation into what happens to Konoha? No emotional moment between Konoha and Ene? No Explanation into whether or not everyone was saved from the everlasting world? Not to mention Ene gets her body back and we get barely a flashback into how that happened. This anime was amazing all the way up to the last two episodes, and that was really disappointing.

Honestly, if you had no prior knowledge of the Music Videos and manga, this makes zero sense


And it does feel really rushed
Konoha's defeat was
"OHO, YOUR GONNA DO THIS.:
"OH NOES, HE HAS THE EYES ABILITY."
OHOHOHOHO
Konoha proceeds to die

I should probabaly rewatch this shiw since I remember barely anything

I really liked this episode. I love how much Mari was in it because she’s my favorite character. The only problems I had with it was that it was kinda confusing. I’m still confused on the ending and I’ve watched it multiple times. I heard reading the light novel and such would make more sense so I might do that.

While this episode was pretty shit, I disagree with most people in this thread. The pacing of the series overall was fine. Though once the mystery is revealed this quirky story about loneliness isn't as tightly wrapped as you'd hope it'd be and the plot goes the easy route by grounding the specifics of the 'wish' in some convoluted plan, with people in labcoats and whatnot. I wanted to like this a lot more.

I haven't seen any of the other stuff in this media mix, and it all feels pretty self-explanatory to me...it just wasn't that interesting in the end.

No ideia about what is happening.


Would be better to have this synopsis since the start:

"This anime is just a TRIBUTE for Kagerou Project. Don't pay so much attention on its plot"

This was very mediocre. From I read the whole story is based around vocaloids song series. The episodes were rushed and a lot of things didn't make sense. Plus I am not really a fan of the Monogatari-type art or its lifeless world. I honestly thought Shintarou was the main protagonist but he became irrelevant until the the very end. The only thing I was certain about was Marry's wish of wanting friends created a fabricated world but not reality.

Alriight finally finished with this anime, thus concluding the whole Kagepro series. MA ending is fine for the end of such a long, tiring journey. But as an anime adaptation for everything else it's kinda shitty but understandable since Shaft had to cram everything in just 12 episodes

That being said, here's how I would rank all the routes:
1) Manga route 2
2) LN route
3) Mekakucity Actors
4) Manga route 1
5) Songs route

Mary's redemption arc is non-existant in MA when compared to Manga route 2/LN and also Hiyori's epilogue is missing. But the resolution for Ayano and Shintaro is sweet to see in MA

I guess the ending is okay in the end. The anime actually gives some conclusion of the manga. I haven't or will probably not watch the songs tho since either way, I kinda liked this ending but this really needs a sequel or a remake... XD

The only thing that kept me watching this series is because of Shintaro and Ayano (of course you as well ENE).
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
