So much asspull but I still liked this anime.

Not sure if I'd sit through a second season, though.

Izayoi was the best thing about this show.

I'm happy that I randomly picked this anime, it was very enjoyable ( agree with others, Izayoi was the best) 8/10

Second season? - Why not? :)

The action in this final episode was amazing and I fucking loved it. What a great way to end this anime off. Izayoi's fight with Weser was great and so was the one with Pest. It was also nice to see the explanation to the riddle and find out who Izayoi figured was the true piper.

Overall I just loved this anime and its characters. It would suck to see this end with just 10 episodes and an OVA so please let there be a season 2! Hope this anime ends up selling well and that they'll make another season soon.

And Kurousagi is still the best thing about this show <3.

Incoherent storyline, sometimes I felt that the story writer immersed themselves in their own world of metaphor, fantasy, and allusion, that they forgot to transliterate their world concepts to the audience.
Sometimes they just make up some rules, back story, or win condition, where in the end it doesn't really matter as long as they defeat the enemy - by force.
Most female characters in this series is lacking of depth and almost merely acts as ornamental kawaii-ness, I can say Lily has more solid characterization than You Kasukabe or even Leticia, even though she had much less screen time than both. Only two noteworthy heroine in this series, Kurousagi and Asuka.
(Shiroyasha is the conformable character that acts as embodiment of male audience opinion and fears)
"Damn you chibimidget, what kind of gift is that anti-pantyshots! you devil!"

That is said. I still enjoy this show, despite the incessant curbstomps and facepalms when it was about Izayoi-stu-ness. He has a good times too. What I really appreciate from this show is the nice timing of comedy and pun. What I really hate about this show is how the writer put pretentious effort to make the story seems complicated, while it's not.

6/10
I'm being honestly-generous, and looking forward to OVA.

Very nice ending, I'm going to miss this show (unless there's a season 2 or OVA).

One of the best of this season for me It was worth the 10 episodes.

Every main characters had enough screen time, they all made the show much more interesting. Plot was consistent all throughout, never bored with every episode. Great action scenes especially in the last 3 episodes. Haven't seen a good fantasy anime like this since Dog Days.

9.5 = 10/10.

Izayoi is actually the reason I didn't enjoy the series as much as I could've. At first he was a swell guy but after his powers were overwhelming every single opponent, I quickly got annoyed by his character. At least this time he didn't take the full spotlight and Asuka got to do something (You on the other hand was ignored completely as far as significance to the battle goes but that could be intentional). I am rating only the anime because I have not read the light novel and frankly I doubt that I ever will. That being said, 7/10 it is.

Not much to say.
The story was very fun, I didn't notice any major plotholes or asspulls, unfortunately some characters didn't get enough development and the beginning was sort of rushed to fit everything into 10 episodes and I can tell some scenes were omitted, but those are easy to put together.

7/10

Would I watch a season 2?

Probably the best male protagonist i've seen this season, I'm guessing a second season would sell and the ending leaves some things open so it's not entirely impossible either.

All we can do now is wait for the day a season 2 is announced.

8.51/10, i'd give it a 8.36ish, but then i'd have to rate it an 8 on MAL and it deserves more then an 8 in my opinion.


Pretty much agree with all this, i loved Izayoi lol.

This was enjoyable, but it all felt so pointless... Pointless action everywhere, pacing is too quick and all those little backstories feel weak. Animation was great though and it was kick ass.

I wasnt expecting much from that anime... but it turned out great :) The 2 problems i see is:

1. It gave me feeling that everything was really rushed... like "We dont have time for it but lets put in this, this and that tooo anyway..." There's a chance that making standard 12 eps would fix that.. and THAT is the 2nd problem:
2. 10 eps... come on srsly? why? o_O

Overall good watch, 9/10 and waiting for continuation...

Pretty sweet to see Izayoi finally getting damaged in battle. I kinda dislike an MC whose is almighty.

I hope season 2 will have more characters that can rival Izayoi's power.

Okay, so I did like the series but I don't understand all the hype about Izayoi. Although I did think that he was quite refreshing change from the wimpy or brainless shounen leads we always see, I just don't think that he is worth all the attention he is getting. He just felt like a mash up of a bunch of cliches, designed to be irresistible to the average viewer:

1) He is very, very powerful. In any action or shounen anime, of course being powerful is valued. You can pretty much reference any shounen anime.
2) He is not only powerful, he is very smart too. Everyone loves smart guys right? e.g. Lelouch from Code Geass, Light or L from Death Note
3) He is perverted, and provides comic relief. Just look at Kakashi from Naruto.
4) He has a detached and laid-back aura in battle, like everything comes easy to him (e.g. Sesshoumaru from Inuyasha, Roy from FMA)
5) But he can also be very hot-headed when the situation calls for it! Examples: although I haven't watched them, I'm guessing Naruto, the main character from Fairy Tale, and Ichigo from Bleach, just to name a few.

Basically, he can do everything. He is powerful and smart, and knows exactly how to act depending on the situation. It just seems like the creators were trying too hard to create the ultimate main character, and consequently, he doesn't feel real. Of course, this could have to do with the fact that there are only 10 episodes so there was no opportunity for adequate character development. Who knows, maybe if there is a second season, he'll seem like more of a fleshed-out character.

I give it a 6/10 over all.

Things I liked about this anime -

* The main group of characters
* Male lead was pretty cool and brave, almost too bad it wasn't a harem ecchi
* The setting, though it has it's flaws its a fun setup
* The artwork, clean crisp artwork, 2013 style fo sho

Things I did not like about this anime -

* It's way too short, 10 episodes is no good for an anime like this
* They never really showed any of the damned fights...
* None of the enemies or villains were particularly noteworthy
* In the attempt to make the battles sound more complex and add flavor, the characters seemed to babble on about a bunch of lame mythological nonsense that quite frankly I didn't give a crap about. It just seemed like such useless drivel.

Quite enjoyed the final episode and well it does finish off this chapter off quite nice I do still find the main story is far from finished, so a second season is always welcome and I'm sure to watch it if it ever would be released!

I really enjoyed the whole thing actually, from concept to the action and great characters! Well I sure had a great time watching this anime! 8/10

So AoD finally decided to upload this last episode, about a month after the previous one.

This was a good and fun series, and thoroughly enjoyable.

I wonder what that letter at the end was.

Pretty fun show, but it felt rushed. And Izayoi is a bit too OP I loved his personality and looks, but I wanted him to have more of a challenge in his fights.

7/10 if there ever is a second season I'll watch since I love the characters and the premises.

Suprised this anime was rated so high. Like it wasn't bad... but it was far from a good anime. It being 10 episodes didn't help either because it was getting a lot better towards the end!

That aside, the ed for this episode was pretty awesome!
