| Another really bad finale. |
| Well I don't know, this show had so much potential the entire time, but this ending left too many things open or just poor writing to say it was really good. So they couldn't activate the bomb because the bodyguard dumped the batteries. At least have backup? Now I was expecting a big, intense, and epic battle to last most of the episode, and maybe have the good guys barely win with another sacrifice like the episode 4 or something. Well the fight was way easier than expected. Yeah, the bodyguard's selfishness did cost them Shouma's life, but the battle was won before the episode was even halfway through. It should've dragged on longer with some shounen fighting words and ideals, but things like Rentaro's attempt to keep Enju and the others out of it seemed meaningless, just like Shouma's death. A character we barely knew for two episodes just died, Sword Art Online deja vu anyone? So the change of tone from an epic fight (that didnt even last that long) to a small meeting between the two Tendos caught me by surprise, but not nearly as much as the sudden reveal of Kisara's true colors. Nothing in the entire series hinted that she was actually like that, so I was quite unprepared when it happened. In her argument vs. Rentaro's shounen ideals of justice, she had a point, but leaving their relationship like that is just plain cruel. And then the train stop at the end, when they announced there was a fatal crash, I thought some bad guy or explosion was gonna show up and say something like the fatal crash was gonna be him, and that'd leave off the season as a cliffhanger. Ah well that was disappointing but the only excuse they can have for leaving everything else as it is is because they're gonna have a second season. Only then can Rentaro come to terms with his own apathy for death, deal with Kisara, and kill the slimy bodyguard that shoulda been dead and gone an arc ago. Hopefully this ends up like Log Horizon and has a second season already planned and TBA, but if it doesn't it should still sell quite well because of all the cute characters. |
 |
| It was so freakin' rushed that I couldn't enjoy the last battle, seriously!! They didn't even show Rentarou being a leader! WTF is up with Kisara? Yandere mode unleashed! Good thing I voted for Tina in the "Best Girl" thread. Next was Miori on my list. Had SO MUCH potential if it weren't rushed. Nonetheless, still enjoyed! |

| That bitch lost her mind. (applause) Finally, another anime to end successfully without disappointment, at least for me. So far, Black bullet and ping pong, are the only shows this season, that have yet to upset me. |
| 6/10. Started out good, but gradually losing all the shine and became dull... watched because of Kaji Kaji. |

They needed light to successfully volley. That was part 1 of the plan. |
| Look they only had 13 episode to work with. It was fine adaptation. I will agree Rentaro looked really weak, I was wondering if this was the same guy that beat Kagatane, but overall I am satisfied. I hope for a second season. |
| I really liked this anime. It was a short and a bit rushed but what can you expect from a 13 episode show. That ending with Kisara loved it!!!! Didn't see that coming. I love little shocker surprises at the end. I was going to rate this a 9/10 but just because there are so many people crying about how much they didn't like this anime and if anyone rates it above a five they have bad taste I am going to give it a 10/10 just because. If I enjoy watching the show I rate it high. If you don't like something drop it and move on, leave it for the ones who enjoy it. |

| It felt like something's missing. Action perhaps? Or maybe it was the storyline. Confusions are the ones I hate. I don't care anymore. The show was good at start, then it slowly became bad. A lot of good people died at that Gastrea war. So many. Surprise change from Kisara. I didn't really like her. So I'm a little glad she became evil. 7/10 |
| 4/5 Yet another story that has no counterpart in the animated a valid exponent. Protagonist very little leader, was an NPC would be perfect, too idiot etc! The narrative regarding the section concerning the Action, and the fighting is too narrow, a great pity! Positive notes to report, are the costume design, color design, character design, the various characters that unlike Rentaro not seem so useless and have a wire characterization more than the protagonist. The work of the Kinema Citrus not bad, another production that I enjoyed, such as those made in the past. I wonder if there will be a second season, but mainly because the protagonist's my final grade is 7/10! Ah! I forgot, CG really bad sometimes ... P.S.What a pity that in italian fansub, there are not always the end card ... |
 |
| The last ten minutes a.k.a Kisara's Yandere mode really caught me offguard and made me want to remove her from my Spring 2014 Fav List. It was unbearnable. My boat had just sunk? Overall, a rushed but OK episode and I kinda prefer Kagetane now. 8/10, I wish for a second season. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| I am amazed there is so much hate if you hated it why did you continue to watch it till the end? Glad I did not like Kisara this episode made me happy of my choice Enju ftw~ |

| This show was so incredibly generically mediocre. |
| Kisara got her revenge, but she change into a scary one. Her killing the brother came out of nowhere! It's just to show how evil and startling Kisara became. The series didn't show much how bad that spear guy(forgot his name) is. Yeah, he's primary at fault for the monolith's destruction, the death of so many innocents and the death of Kisara's parents, but I couldn't make sense of it. I couldn't understand her hatred and out for his brother's blood. One thing I like about the last episode is the ending scene. The train stopping, then Rentarou hugging Enju and a beautiful music from Nagi. It made me teary eyed. |

| Not sure, the adaption was certainly crap but I think it's noticeable that it dos have some potential. However, all of the characters ended up being a pile of poop. The ending was alright (I expected worse), but I thought the "main battle" was supposed to be against the huge gastrea (forgot the name for it), in the end that was very anti-climactic since it wasn't much of a battle after all. I will certainly read the light novel if ever it will be translated till vol5/6. Gets a 4/10 from me, but again, the light novel is much more promising. |
| Shoma-nii died or missing in action. I hope he will be a potential enemy if he really did survive. Kisara turned into evil the moment she strike down her brother, great.. I guess she won't live long after all lol. Rentarou and Enjuu make a new pact ensuring their long last relationship.. Funny to see Rentarou crying at the end, I thought he was tough but he betray my feelings :( |
   |
| Shoma's noble sacrifice... R.I.P. Midori was right, she said Kisara is prone to darkness so Satomi must stay besides her... And personally, I don't get what's the harm in killing the person who killed your parents. Satomi is gonna regret letting go Kisara when he will remember Midori's words later. I enjoyed this anime quite a bit. 7.5/10. Wouldn't mind a 2nd season. |
 |
| It was too rushed. :| I don't even know where that Kisara "turning evil" shit came from, that just seemed abrupt in the story. Went from good at the beginning to meh. : |
   |
| I liked a couple of the characters. Wouldn't mind a second season. 7.5/10 |
| Well, good to know Kisara is a total psycho. Dont mind it though, but now i really want to see a Kisara vs Miori.Felt kinda betrayed about the whole Kisara setup so far, ruining it in 1 min or so. Anyway, one of my fav shows of this season. Really enjoyable and pretty much nowhere near boring. A total of 9/10 for me |
| Everybody has the right to have his own opinion on something.And you do have the right to disagree with them.But that doesnt give you the right to impose your opinion on others, even though you do have the right to think you are fucking awesome. |
| Oh Kisara ! So evil ! I like that ! >_< So, it is going to be Enju x Rentarou after all ? Not really impress with this series... 6/10 |
| Its kinda disappointing with its rushed paced... however I did like Kisara turning to evil like that. |

| Do you know guys at which chapter of the manga the anime season 1 finishes ? And yeah, Kisara's "turning evil" came way too fast. xD |
| After the Kisara reveal my top choices now are Seitenshi Minori Doctor and down the road if they live long enough Tina or Enju but they won't live long enough, so its got to be one of the first 3. Then again I did not like Kisara anyway, so my ranking did not change much. If Rentaro really wants batshit insane, he is better off waiting ten years for Kagatane's daughter to grow up, and then he can have him as a father law. Couldn't be worse than the Tendo family. |

| Certainly didn't expect the lantern from the people,that warmed my heart for a bit.Sad for Shoma-nii though,at least he could rejoin Fuse in heaven. Kirasa turning into yandere mode really came out of no where,but in the end Enju wins and the oath made by enju was so cute!However i definitely thinks this episode should've been done over two or three episodes,the supposed grand finale against Aldebaran was so short. Hope for a second season! |
| lol Kisara and Kagetane is the only great thing about anime. Well maybe Tina and shouma too. what about Enju? Rentarou? that piece of shit Hating on Kisara for being evil? Come on , she just kill a scum that kill thousands of life for power and money ( well maybe she do a little too much) , but hey ' if u cant sacrifice anything, u cant change anything' , its sad, seriously having rentarou acting that way. If he really care for Kisara, he should be there for her, so that she wont turn into a maniac. 'I will protect her' my ass word from rentarou, yeah he was like ' we might be facing kisara as an enemy later' pffttt, really wtf? With Enju just being obsessed with Rentarou and share her piece about the world, and rentarou and his sense of justice, saying that he'll save everyone,save the tokyo and shit but still, theres nothin. All he did just throw tht fcking bomb inside aldebaran mouth which doesnt explode, lalala u guys know the rest |

| So much potential and so much disappointment left behind. I cannot recall the last time I turned completely opposite against a MC until this final episode near the end. I tried to side with Rentarou's sense of justice in a evil society but not after what I witnessed in regards to one of his close friends, Kisara, who he knows about and should understand her pain but then has the nall to say the things he did to her? If he was so against her having it out in a deadly duel against her evil brother, why did he allow her to fight and not step in? Only to bitch and say she may be her enemy after her brother got dealt with because her actions were unpleasing to him? What a complete MORON! The MC... I had enough of Rentarou. And what he said about being two faced... yeah that's YOU, Rentarou, damn hypocrite! It all adds up now. He says one thing and does another. Rentarou don't take other's feelings into consideration like punching Enju in the stomach then turn around and not want Shouma to do the same! Make up your damn mind! Had a chance to help the blind loli and what he do? Give her money and said for her to be careful... what the? She was just bullied and left her alone to fend for herself. Wow... a complete and utter dislike of him as a character. I could only dread how the Light Novel really is with this guy if the anime version is just a sample of this mess. It felt rushed, yeah and there's many plot holes left behind but seems this is the trend to ruin the adaption and drool at the loss of what could of been. The loli's were so moe to watch and fight but did not like when they brutally died. I did not like that at all but comes with this type of setting. Kisara, damn.. she's sexy. Her hair is unique and I don't see often and it's a great look on her too. Too bad didn't see enough of her and her sword style. A side story with just Kisara and too adorable Tina please! Sigh.. what a loss of potential this anime was it's my fault for that expectation and now I dislike the MC. Good job. |

| Dat kisara.... |
| Not burst anyone's bubble but Enju has less than 2 years to live, ie she will die around 12 years old. The author is apparently a big fan of Gen Urobochi, and from what I hear this show only gets darker and darker, and Enju gets treated worse and worse. So in short there is 0 chance of a Rentaro Enju pairing. On a side note, same thing with Tina, and most cursed children so, that is not going to happen either. Then again I am starting to doubt if Rentaro and Kisara will even make it to the end. |
| Heck, what an anticlimatic ending. Shouma-nii died like a hero (always if he's indeed dead). Kisara went full yandere, well they did foreshadowed it so we kinda knew it was going to happen but it was still a big strike for my wounded heart. 7/10, quite mediocre but I must admit I enjoyed it. Would watch a 2nd season. Btw, not enough Kategane. |
 |
| Why did it have to end ? :( |

| What a shitty ending! Damn! What a wasteful anime. I rate this 8 after 2 ep, bad pacing & writing destroy it(i don't even mind the lolis). 6/10 great first 3 ep then lot of BS afterwards. |
 |
| This show suffers from horrible pacing. Still it was an enjoyable ride, giving it a 7/10. |
| Nice, even Seitenshi is everything she can to help Rentaro in his fight against the Gastrea, giving them courage with that Genan Festival thing. The battle started and it's already pretty epic lol. Funny how everyone seems so strong except Rentaro, like always he seems to be the weakest lol. Meh, always trying to do things on his own, that's our Rentaro, the strongest guy around >.> Just great, now Rentaro is missing his varanium leg... geez... Poor Shoma, deciding to sacrifice himself like that, you will be missed! So Kisara vs Kazumitsu huh... Damn, Kisara is freaking OP and she could easily kick Rentaro's ass, some main male character you are Rentaro... Yeah... Kisara isn't quite sane and right in the head it seems... Ohooo, Rentaro saying that he might end up as Kisara's enemy, now that's interesting, I wonder if he wants to die that badly lol. Now I can only wait for a 2nd season. |

| after reading the manga for about half a year i expected a 10/10 anime... BUT the studio somehow managed to turn it into 6/10 with the ridiculous rushing (even in the most heart tearing scenes..) still 9/10 because i loved the manga and the plot twists/ideas are not bad, just badly made by the studio |
 |
| I liked the series and the setting. Could have it been better? Yeah, though with just 7 volumes and adapting 4 of them, guess they couldn't do much on that behalf could they? Anyway that last episode was sad, emotional and heartbreaking in so many ways. Too many deaths along, too much corruption and Kisara's resolve to take revenge at the cost of losing her humanity even though her choice is the only thing that keeps her going, and Rentaro getting more and more used to death. This episode felt rushed no doubt, still enjoyable with the other more human-emotion content. |
 |
| What the heck did I just watch? That ending was one of the worst ending I've seen. Everything was wrong and it felt incredibly rushed. Very disappointed. 6/10 ._. |

I just watched the anime and one of its main flaws was that they suddenly decided to rush everything, but my main problem with this were the characters, almost every girl's main feature was that they were in love with the mc (until Kisara got emo at the end, which was good and bad on so many levels), also, the glasses guy, and white haired guy dying at the end, we're supposed to feel bad but we barely knew him. |
| Black Bullet made a perfect combination of themes and elements, and yet it wasnt psychotic like guilty crown. And then waddaya know, Kisara had to go and give it a psychotic ending. Started out as a 10/10 anime. But then the middle got a little boring, followed by the anticlimactic final battle. So -1. 9/10 |
