An okay-ish end to the series. Well... as okay as this thing can be considering it couldn't pace itself well at all. At least the foreshadowing was nice.

Going to be honest here, they really went all-out in using impractical tactics to give Oorai the win, and I enjoyed every second of it! From the Maus ramp to the Rabbit Team barely scraping by to the one-on-one showdown... I loved it.

Also, dancing grandma!

I still feel like a Masuzu End just wouldn't work. Eita and her just haven't had enough romantic development to ignore all the other contenders. But fuck Ai, even the ocean doesn't like her. Chiwa End still makes the most sense (if it's not going to be an inconclusive ending) since we are reminded of just what Eita WANTS to do for her. I mean, the reason we see Eita studying so much is because he wants to be a doctor for Chiwa's sake. He CHOSE to be proactive in helping Chiwa. He's passive with Hime and kind of ignores Ai (even as a kid). On another note, he CHOSE NOT to kiss Masuzu in this episode.

Does Edogawa classify as a hermaphrodite? Or is she just a dickgirl?

Also, classroom full of despair. Also, lesbians.

Random Sailor Moon pose.

I have come to the conclusion that this strange anime is just about what it means to have friends and family.

And Mika gets insta-murdered.

You know, it's not like I don't understand where you're coming from. Kotoura has not taught herself nor wants to try to read deeply into a person's mind. However, when Tsukino went from her amiable personality into Adachiko, Kotoura didn't even notice the switch. There's something wrong with that. After all, if Kotoura could control her mind reading, she wouldn't be having the problems she had. Basically, it was all for the convenience of the plot even though it doesn't really make sense.

I am mindfucked. The Mori from before was the mother. This Mori is the daughter. But this Mori didn't twirl. Does that mean we have only ever seen the Mother Mori!? Then there's the confusing signals Daughter Mori was putting out. She's happy that Kyolo played along with Seira, but then she calls him a coward. Then she gives him chocolate. Does she want to smack him or does she want a hair-orgasm? Or was the Mother Mori thing a joke to begin with?

Kyolo: I think it's good you don't wear those cat-ears or we'd all die of cute overload.
Tama: WHERE ARE THOSE DAMN EARS!
Shion: Meow~

Kyolo is mindfucked by how his clubmates' breasts suddenly disappeared after dressing as boys. (No seriously, watch that part, there are no breasts to be found.) Maybe he would have run away sooner if he hadn't been so shocked. Also, sexual harassment.

Kyolololo with that excited Arararagi face with his nostrils flared out now that he's getting chocolates.

Watching Jill lift her sister so easily makes seeing Jill viciously elbow Kasumi in the chest look even more painful.

Meh. Akane suddenly becoming a competent Inspector just a couple episodes ago was hard enough to swallow, much less making her a veteran. All we really found out is that the Sibyl System was never likely to be a permanent fixture in the first place, which makes a lot of what was going on pointless. Also, did we really need the Sibyl System to start channeling Kyubey and wishing Akane to fall into despair and stuff?

Damn Mochizou, it was your time to man up, but you just let it go. And seriously, what was with everyone automatically thinking she was going to get married to the prince? Wouldn't the normal reaction from everyone be "Oh no! You're not taking her from us!" Even Tamako's dad was being crazy passive. She just told you guys a minute ago that she didn't want to be married dammit!

So apparently Kotoura can't read the mind of a repressed personality in a bipolar person. Some mind reader you are. As expected, Adachiko's motivation really did boil down to "I was bullied because I was tall, now I'll have my revenge on all the pipsqueaks!" And all Moritani was good for was her fighting skills, and she can't even pull that off.

Get Charlotte'd. But seriously, what the fuck!? They were going on about the power of friendship just a few seconds ago.

Maria sure is a fragile child, she loses her self-identity just from not being a sister anymore. And Rika was recording the whole yaoi conversation.

Dat Sena. Dat extremely casual proposal. Dat shy Sena face.

But man, Kodaka better have some sort of serious emotional complex resulting from the death of his mom if he's going to have a mental breakdown so easily from a confession.

Panzertrolling. The look on Miho's face after the bridge was destroyed was hilarious. They have it tough though. They now have to fight the tank of tanks.

Except if she talked this way to anyone else, she would be a bitch. Her intuition has become a full-blown bias. Confirmation bias, ho! And it's an extremely heavy-handed way of introducing a climax to the series so fuck whoever thought this was a good idea. That's actually the real problem here.

Satoru used his Cantus to pull Saki out of the way of that kamikaze river slug thing's explosion several episodes ago.

And Saki remains a passive character right to the end. Letting everyone else take the blows for her. Like a certain other series, this one just ended with a return to the status quo. So we've gone in this big narrative circle where the main characters know a lot more than they did at the start, but nothing particularly noteworthy has changed, just like that other series.

I do want to say something about what Satoru said towards the end. He said that even knowing what they did, they really didn't consider the Queerats human. Saki then proves this by being able to burn Squealer without dying herself. It's certainly an interesting thing to consider.

Let's see...
Yozora is forced to wear a sign that says "plagiarizer"
Yozora gets called stupid by Rika of all people
Sena gets praised for creating her own script
Sena gets a good laugh from Yozora's misery
Sena uses the plagiarism scandal to extort Yozora to play a role as a half-naked witch
Sena gets a self-insert character that is a goddess

Do I feel bad for Yozora?
NOPE.


Kodaka's emotional problems were the real curveball. Maybe in the novels it's a bit better, but here it was just a case of lolwtf.

More like she's a real bitch. She meets Masuzu for the first time and immediately call her a fake. She acts like a questionnaire is somehow totally accurate but then gives us a "your answer was too perfect". She also asks more probing questions to Eita and Masuzu with no such probing of the other girls. And she's saying all this while she appears single. Additionally, there's no way Ai could have gotten first; she answered the same question twice.

Can we have an episode where Saki isn't incompetent and lets her hallucinations make decisions for her? I also feel it was really too easy to get rid of the Psychobuster just by burning it. And it was supposed to be ultra-perfect. And couldn't she have just pulled back Satoru via Cantus instead of just solving her problems by igniting them with fire? And why did Saki throw the False Minoshiro again? And why did no one think that Kiroumaru could take out the Fiend?

I'm just talking about the little time skip they did at the end. Ame got more closure than Yuki since he's just up in the mountains living life the way he wants to and giving a howl now and then. The whole thing with Souhei was just kind of left hanging there.
