Saffron_entity said: I still have this terrible feeling that this anime will screw up really badly in these last 2 episodes... Akame ga kill was like that. decent in the middle but shit at the end. And they are both written by Takahiro. Hopefully that won't happen. This anime is pretty different from Akame ga kill. Makes it slightly hard to believe they were written by the same person. It wasn't even decent from the start. It followed the original almost faithfully before the last few and still bombed anyway. |

No, it's just tasteless writer copying another successful tasteless writer's style and write a tasteless show for our entertainment. I mean what's the moral of this show? Just to see cute girl got screwed? Sooooo many sad faces TAT |

| Sonoko... She went through 20 times... The real world is a lot scarier than the imaginary one. Those vertexes being reborn and all. Togo gonna destory Shinju-sama's world... Man this got even more epic and it is gonna rise in those rankings. Please let it reach 8+. Amen |
 |
| Hmm a "happy ending" would be that they all die together fighting as heroes.. at least that seems like a plausible way to end their immortality. I hope they end up killing the Shinju-sama and survive of course, but the way this is turning now and the things which has been explained in this episode.. i just do not see it happen. |
| I really don't have anything against this show destroying my feelings in the last episode by killing everybody or making the world even more fudged up. It just... fits perfectly when it comes to current storytelling. I'm 99% sure the writers won't have the balls to do it though, and Yuuki Yuuna will find the way to cheat the system somehow. Doesn't mean I'll be sad about that - I love the cast, so I wish them best in their quest. But watching up to episode 10 it seems that failure is the only option and somehow I feel it would be the "right" ending, as twisted as it sounds. |
| HOLY. I wonder if Karin is gonna go Mankai. DEPRESSING </3 |
 |
| Hmm the first music during Togo's backstory reminds me of the game Nier. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same composer/singer. TogoxYuna <33333 Lots of fun and happiness seeing how the club was formed up to episode 1. God it must've been terrible and horrifying for Togo to experiment like that. I KNEW IT. They did know each other... was a bit surprised at their history. How everything was planned and the system disgusts me, poor girls :'( The real world... everything seems so hopeless. I don't think Togo's solution is quite right either, even if it's the only way. Nice variation of the ending. |
Asseylum_ said: It felt kinda rushed how Togo regained her memories back. Nevertheless, quite the cruel truth there. And Karin is safe so far. She didn't get her memories back. All she knows is what Sumi's told her and what she learned from doing some research. |
 |
| Man this is really well made so far. They pay a lot of attention to details and we can see that. I dunno where to begin with. Even the OP is carefully well made in order to avoid spoiling us (I can't believe they actually use common sense here). Aside from that the anime is just 12 episodes and it's not rushed at all. We have a decent story with no ass pulls, decent characters with unique personalities and each with their own story and dreams. It's gonna be Yuuki's time next episode who is gonna stop Togo I bet. The music and voice actors are awesome too. I really don't think it's THAT similar to madoka so far besides the very basic transformation and penalties premise. Let's hope they keep this up for the last 2 episodes. This anime really surprised me so far so I really hope for a satisfactory ending. |
 |
| She sure came to drastic, yet reasonable way to end things. On one end I don't see how this is going to get a happy ending, but on the other hand I don't see her plan succeed either. Maybe Yuuna will stop her or something with her apparently amazing powers and save all, at the cost of her own life... |
| For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. |
Nalehw said: For those who care about such things: Score's rising. This time last week it was 6.98; now it's 7.07. Once the post-finale votes come through, I imagine YuYuYu will have a decent score. I thought it was shocking Togo tried to kill herself. Now she's trying to kill the whole world... I love you, Togo, but I don't understand you. Not enough. This show need at least a 8. I hope that this show get at least that after it end. |

animelytical said: ilok said: Due to this episode, changing my rating from 1 to 10. A one?! Why? If people are scoring like that, maybe I should make mine a ten... Second question. Why watch 10 episodes of a show you gave a one? Just watch he's list.. it's so weird... |
| It was nice to get that backstory about the hero club, but man, when Togo went beyond the wall... o_o so not only are heroes basically immortal offerings for the shinju-sama, there is no "only 12 vertexes" thing, so the heroes pretty much fight until they can't physically fight anymore so it's a downward spiral of despair! And while Togo is pretty much dooming the world to stop this horrible hero system, killing the Shinju-sama is probably the best thing that could be done because eventually this hero system will fail. I've always had some kind of bad feeling that the Shinju-sama will die at some point, but I wasn't expecting this...doesn't look like there can be a happy ending for our friends from the hero club :( |

Paulo27 said: [/spoiler] [spoiler]  LEL tbh, i want a sad ending. i've only watched one show with an unhappy ending before, i need some variety pls. of all the shows i've watched since that one exception, this one is the closest to an unhappy ending. i don't want one in the sense of everyone dying, but maybe a couple of them sacrificing themselves to save others. |
 |
| I'm going to need to rewatch this series when it's over. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| There's only 12 vertex, ah, forgive me girls, I mean there's only 12 kind of vertex. This series is more like The Truman Show met Dark City (both 1998 title) than any anime. |

| Amazing episode. Storytelling was top notch, Togo is an amazing character. The revelations in this episode were truly shocking and this anime is horrendously underrated 5/5 Also Yuna is nothing like Madoka lol. They're like complete opposites. |
| [center][/center] |
| At this point I'm praying that they don't screw it all up by having Yuuna power up with the power of nakama and suddenly it's miracle time. A bleak ending would be so much more fitting. As to why the gods decided to up and kill humanity, traditionally divinities are known for being very cruel and often fickle. I'm reminded of the gods in the Epic of Gilgamesh who decided to wipe out mankind in a massive flood (apart from this one guy) because humans were being too loud. Also, Nogi says, even the gods who sided with humanity won't just give their aid with no strings attached. |

Nalehw said: What millions? Their town is all that's left.htsuji said: She has understood that almost all parts of the world used to exist got eliminated about 300 years ago; and the truth is that the world she and her friends live in is nothing but a drop of water on the infinite hellfire. Judging from the current situation, sooner or later, it'll be destroyed completely. Up until then, Taisha repeatedly chooses the sacrifice named hero. In addition to this, Taisha couldn't provide enough number of them from the members in the organization anymore and had to check all common people as a possible candidate now. Thus, it seems it wouldn't last long. The fragment of the old world has been surviving for 300 years. It isn't dead completely. But, isn't it the time to pull the plug? ... No? We're talking about killing millions of people. Ending all those lives. Preventing innumerable moments of joy. Wiping out humanity. Permanently. No take-backs. I'm a very selfish person, but there are no circumstances under which I would ever think "let's give up" or "it's not worth it" about that. Some other people had a theory that the universe is controlled by Shinju and that it only lasts around 300 years, being created and dying over and over and that what Togo is doing is fate, as if the universe was on a loop. I can see a couple plot twists, like the humans did something wrong or the above. |

| All I see Togo is trying to prove something, she was trying to 'save' the girls, so I think she did her thing in full consideration that the girl should be safe as 'something' should prevent the world from collapsing, even without the girls protecting it. Maybe she was thinking that little girls used as offerings are complete bs, they were sacrificed because they were being manipulated by the organization. There's also something off about Togo situation, this far we know that the girl will lose something that is precious to them. Togo Mimori, or should I say, Washio Sumi, has lost the most from the group (unless if we count Nogi Sonoko and Minowa Gin ultimate sacrifice). I believe she has a lot more pressure to end the hero system. Don't you think it is strange that the organization put Nogi Sonoko, the former hero, as an 'inquisitor' to purge the heroes if they disobey the system? I think what Togo is trying to accomplish is to pull out the organization, and most certainly she will have to face her old friend, Nogi Sonoko... |

Nalehw said: I thought it was more than a town. Fu spoke about other teams, and Karin came from somewhere. Doesn't much affect my point. No, it doesn't. We're still talking about what's left of the entire human race, whether that's a few thousand people or a few million. It's probably on the lower end, though, given how few qualified heroes the Taisha can actually cobble together. On another topic, thinking some more about the end of this episode, I suddenly remembered the early morning conversation that Yuki and Togo had back at the hot springs in episode 7. That whole conversation was interesting to go back and re-watch just now in light of the revelations of the last few episodes, but this specific part is the one I was thinking of in the context of Togo's recent behavior: Togo: "I keep having negative thoughts when I'm alone. I can forget that when I'm with you guys." Yuki: "The Hero Club five tenets. If you're troubled, talk to someone." Togo: "But if I talked to you, I'd only trouble you too." Yuki: "Not really. If being alone makes you have negative thoughts, I'll stick to you even more today." Well, Togo was obviously more troubled than any of them realized, and she didn't talk to someone about it before she started turning those negative thoughts into drastic and potentially catastrophic action. That's a nice bit of subtle foreshadowing by the writers in the middle of a seemingly happy-go-lucky hot springs episode. Yuki was able to help Fu when she started slipping into despair, but she couldn't be in two places at once to help Togo too (and the disconnect was beautifully illustrated in this episode by the way they have Yuki leaving Togo a phone message that she's worried about Fu at the same moment that Togo is getting the brutal truth of their situation from Sonoko). |
|
| Plus, Togo's plan isn't to kill everyone, but to attack Shinju and see and that goes, obviously one things implies the other but it might not, hopefully it does though as it'd feel way too convenient otherwise. And I doubt Togo will fight Nogi or any of the other heroes, Nogi because Togo is the only person she cares about and the other heroes, well, it'd just be kinda silly really. |

Paulo27 said: And I doubt Togo will fight Nogi or any of the other heroes, Nogi because Togo is the only person she cares about and the other heroes, well, it'd just be kinda silly really. Nogi said it to Togo herself as she was telling the truth behind the walls, I believe Nogi also had another motive by telling these things to the girls. There's also something quite disturbing as how she describes how as she was getting more disabled makes her 'closer' to Shinju-sama body, and the more people would worship her for being closer to kami-status, it means that Shinju-sama is 'eating' her body? It also makes me wonder how |

It also makes me wonder how Haven't fully read the light novel yet but did they even have faeries from the start? I know they didn't have the sealing ritual. Still, I doubt they really can't die in battle, but minor attacks are easily stopped by the faeries, or perhaps the faeries themselves can die normally too. |

| Wow this is getting decently good. Nice determination homura eh I mean Tougou trying to shoulder everything |
 |
| Curious thought, if Togo is trying to destroy Shinju-sama to end their suffering, wouldnt they suffer more because of the universe Shinju-sama is trying to save? |

I watch the op again and and again, and hey its true spoilers indeed. The scene where they fighting with millions Vertex, the red fire globe, the happy end (I hope). LunamariaHawke said: Despair!!! Lots of it too! Togo's seen what's on the other side of the barrier, and it isn't pretty. Pretty much the first thing that entered my mind was, "Is that hell?" I think behind the wall is another dimension, where there are millions Vertex made, or its the real face of the rest of world they are living now. And you have the same question that I had and yes it is a hell. Its a hell where humans being toyed by Gods, both good and evil god. |
