| This final episode was great, with the exception of the ending. I would have preferred a cliffhanger type of ending =/ Going to give this series an 8/10. |
| I would of prefer Saito coming back straight away. Sort of like a cliffhanger as Kayro said. Overall 8/10 |

neutralizer said: I've only seen the anime and not the novel, but even so I was thoroughly disappointed. It was definitely rushed. I couldn't even tell what the hell Saito was fighting. It looked like he was just randomly attacking unlike is supposed to happen in the novel. I'll give it points for being emotional and the awesome wedding version of "I SAY YES," but the comedic ending was not needed. It seemed like it was a reset to all the progress that Saito and Louise had made. I think I would have been happier that Zero no Tsukaima the anime ended when Saito died. It would have made it more dramatic and would have distinguished itself from the novel. Exactly what I thought. Plus, there were so many questions that were left unanswered --> this anime definitely needs a third season. Hopefully it'll be better than the second. |
| LOL. I liked the ending, I thought it was pretty funny. 8/10 Thank god I finished marathoning that, onto the next season! |

ChiBuki said: I usually go with good endings but this time around I prefer Saito to remain dead or lost. Tragic hero is befitting for him, since he came from another world and stuff.. i actualy loved it that he came back, and it was good that they didnt finish the marrage ceremony, && right up until she started hiting him it was great... mabes they'll fix that in Princess no Rondo... i mean its clechequed... then again I can't think of Rie-sama being 'sexy' ALL the time ^_^ |
 |
| Meh, the last part when he comes back ruined the awesomeness of this ep. Seriously, they should cool down with those Louise beating up Saito moments, especially after they are married(?). But it was overall a better season than 1st. Time for part 3. |
 |
| 9/10 I was moved by the scenes. Saito shifting with Louise, the marriage, his death, Louise cries. The scenes are epic enough for me to give it a 10. I didn't a comedy series like Zero no Tsukaima can have such dramatic effect. BUT, all those drama got shattered by a "fairy" XD I know he's not dead yet since there's a season 3 but the reason why he's still alive sound somewhat lame or unrealistic. But, I don't have any objection since this is a comedy series and yet not the end of Zero no Tsukaima yet. If this was the final season and they end it dramatically, I have no reason not to give it a 10. Looking forward for the next series. I hope it'll be enough for a 10. |
| It was nice,yes.The last episode really topped the notch until that comedic ending.I agree with others saying that Saito should've stayed dead until season 3 where he comes back.It was such an epic ending but we just gotta have a happy ending eh?Oh well,gave it a 9 just cause Louise is too cute in this episode.Off to season 3.Yay! =3 |
 |
| LOL, how in the world did it get back to how it was before... "Saito, you're back and I love you and I never told you so... DIE?" |
     |
| This episode had its ups and downs. I'll continue with the next series but I do have to say that I thought the first series was better than this one. I hope the next series makes an improvement. |

Cebola92 said: Yay! I love happy endings! I guess the fight of Saito and the 70k soldiers was the best fight of the entire anime! And the Elf who saved him was pure win =P hehe... just wait till next season :D |
|
| meh... the last part when saito returned totally screw up this episode. imo they should have cut out (almost) all the ecchi/filler stuff and put more effort into the story and the romantic part. what a waste -_- 7/10 because i liked louise so much ^.^ |
| I love this anime! ^_^ |
 |
| Thas was aVery good Episode It was very emotional,especially the scenes of Saito's fight. But,why.WHY did they ruined the ending with ecchi and angry Louise. With this ending I've got the impression that there was nearly no development between Saito and Louise in the whole Season, that dissapoints me a bit. don't know if I really should watch season 3 |

Up until the ending, I was thinking "you know, I'm gonna have to find and kill whoever made an ecchi harem anime good enough that I had to give it a 9/10", but then they just screwed it all up for the sake of memes. It's the same problem the whole industry has. I decided to give it an 8 anyway, because while most of it was pretty terrible, the last few episodes were really good - but damn it, that ending just sucked. On the plus side, I think it was way better than the 1st season. |

| Oh, the start's wedding ceremony was so cuute *___________* It's so nice that Louise and Saito finally realized that they really love each other ! And the end was cute ! I just think that story about a fairy who has big tits really killed the mood ! |
     |
| The wedding was nice and the episode was good as well, but the ending was right back to square one. I don't know if I'll be able to understand it, but I guess you're supposed to stay with what makes Znt what it is. For the series I'll give it and 8/10 like what I gave for the first series. |
| I think if Saito didn't give that story about the fairy, this would have gotten a 9 but noooooo~ And I actually like that type of stuff and I found the very end extremly out of place. 8/10; I liked the 2nd just as much as the 1st... maybe a bit more. |
| /rant Last ship departing at the SAME time that Saito encounters the army of 70,000 is ridiculous. It always makes me think... "then what is the point of Saito having to charge at the army if the allied forces escaped already?" kind of thought. This anime also skipped the interesting dialogue between Derf and Saito before and during the fight. General Hawkins was completely ignored. The flower concept was flawed. Saito would have to immediately teleport to the front of the academy after The comedic, ecchi, tsundare, "soft reset" ending was the unforgivable finishing blow. That "explanation" should have definitely waited until the third season. .../facepalm and a remake is in order. My rage won't be quelled until a remake is done. /endrant |

| Agreed, the only thing I need back is the the conversation with Derf and Saito before the fight and to cut off that part where he came back. If there was ever going to be a remake of this season, I just wish they don't remake ep 9 - 12 too much, unless they're going to lengthen it, then that's fine but shit man ep 9 - 12 was too epic win that it lifted my thought of this anime to almost a 9/10 but the ridiculous slapstick that destroyed everything reduced it to an 8. Wonderful. Last fight epic win Too bad he couldn't be too much of a badass to kill them all and return as a goddamn bad-ass. Also, to the question, if he didn't interfere with the advancing army, the ship wouldn't have been able to set sail. My understanding is that (and if memory serves me right) there was a scene where he was driving off the mind-controlled men while everyone was on board the ship and running away. Then again, they could have just closed the gate or something and reinforced the ships with archers or something like that rather than lose a valuable asset like Louise or Saito, I mean seriously. |
| I cried when Saito showed up and hugged Louise :D |
 |
| lol I start crying way before that. I figure out that he would stay alone since the start of the episode. |
FlameOfHeaven said: Saito's fight was epic. Seriously would have been better if they ended it as a cliffhanger. All in all,the season felt rushed. 8/10 for disappointment in the last minute or so. I agree that the ending is bad. *ruin all the drama* but Saito can't die yet. not that i want him alive or anything lol. It's just that the story's not end yet. |
| They just shot themselves in the foot for that ending. If not for that, I personally would have given this ep a 10/10 but DAMN!! I mean seriously, cheesy-ness aside, you'd think their relationship would have moved past square one after Saito practically DIED to ensure Louise survived but no, they just had to ruin it =.= Or for the sake of argument, you could also beg the question, why the hell can't Saito keep his big trap shut with the boobs? Ok, ranting aside, this ep was just grand up to the final couple of minutes. Everything in it was nearly flawless for me, especially during Saito's fight when they started playing an instrumental of the opening song. That's one of the few scenes I've ever seen that I can just keep rewatching and still feel emotional every time. Edit: For grammatical errors xD |

| They should have kept the ending serious, then I believe it would have been a perfect ending. Even if Saito's coming back may have seemed a bit cheesy as long as it didn't end up with Louise trying to blow Saito up it would have been a good ending. ...it really actually annoys me, because this episode was so perfect and emotional, they just had to ruin it with the stupid ending. |
| God, how i hate these "lol it`s magic/reset" type shows ... Saito dying on the battlefield would have been an epic ending to this show. Instead they decide to use the "i was dead but not really" card and finish it off with the same joke that`s been going on for 24 episodes = Big breasts and stupid dog. Original eh ? |
     |
| pointless ending... gave it a 6/10 |
| loved it ^^ I think this was one of the best episodes from season 1 and 2 =D |
| lol...i know how you feel |

Agreed. Even if actually Saito came back the way he did, but instead of a comic ending it was a romantic one, it would have been great. |
| It was okay...Although, I dislike how she never tells him she loves him. Second he shouldn't have come back.. |
| Dammit. Dammit. Dammit. The hell kinda ending was that? It was all perfect until Louise started blowing stuff up again. Ugh. I was even about to shed a tear. Dammit. Anyways, Saito's fighting scene was kickass. It increased my love for Saito even more (if that's possible). Saito is the best character in Zero no Tsukaima. Saitooo. <33333 |
Mat-RSPSOA said: I agree pretty much with what people were saying here. Saito should have stayed dead. That would have been an epic ending befitting of Saito. Instead we get the deus ex machina from the underdeveloped elf (I forget her name). And seriously? Couldn't there relationship have at least moved behond the point of square one, where Louise can forgive a little lapse on Saito's part? I mean he just came back from the fricking grave, and she's already trying to beat him again just like they were in day 1. If they had developed at all, you'd think she would just call him a baka, hit him once, and then go back to hugging him... THAT would have been a true sign of their relationship having developed. where was there UNDERDEVELOPMENT.... lol |
| I cant believe they brought him back at the end, like everyone else has said the episode was amazing up till that point. If they had of just left it with the flower glowing it would have been better then that. |
 |
| its finally over! I was hoping for a lil bit more, but out of the season as a whole def one of the best. |

| It would have been a better ending if Saito stayed dead for effect or something. It was a little, okay.. a little more than, cheesy to be brought back to life by a fairy. I mean, honestly. & LOL.. @ Louise getting instantly mad at him for being a pervert. xD |
| Woot for big tits fairy! |
 |
| best season out of all the 3. this is also one of the best episodes. i give the season and the episode 5/5. good job of making such a good anime. |
| Moved me greatly, WOW o_o Amazing, I thought for some time that Louise was a selfish person, but she even cares about the people she barely knows *-* I loved the wedding version of ''I say yes!'' and the emotional was high in this episode. I think was a good ending for this season... :) |
| This series received a new record for me. Two epic facepalms. First one was in episode four, where he confessed his love, and they kissed. And then epicly running away from the family to go back to the academy.... And then came the misunderstandings and beatings. *slaps forehead* And then the ending. Could have been perfect if he stayed dead. And there he comes, back from the dead. Which although it pissed me off, I didn't facepalm... Until he told her about the "big-breasted fairy." *slaps forehead twice as hard* |
| Finally something serious. Even though I love happy ends, that sad part and Saito's fight was much better than ending with that old scheme "Saito you pervert! :booooom:" Actually I'm a bit disappointed that at Louise. Even he acted like a pervert (again!), she could make an exception this time - that'd be something surprising and much better! I give 7/10 to the whole series. |

| i was getting kinda sad when saito died. Then he came back alive and it was a pretty good scene. they ruined it though when saito started talking about the fairies tits. WTF.... Who would do that, who would risk their life for the one they love, and then talk about some sexy fairy??? and who would cry for like 3 days, then go try and kill the person they love and cried about... still funny... |
     |
| Although all posts i have read in this thread i personally think it was the best episode of all zero no tsukaima series and i m fucking serious! |
