| this one started and ended as an arthouse clusterfuck and i wouldnt have it any other way good ending |
 |
| ok I watched this episode... I really do not understand why some people say this episode was bad! It was a good episode .... Do not forget that this anime is not over yet! I really liked the emotions and art of this anime and enjoyed watching this anime alot! great series and my second favorite anime this season 9/10 |

| Well this is just blatantly unfinished. Pretty much confirms my suspicion that the 'special' is very likely going to be the actual episode 12 and the recap was a full panic-mode stop gap solution for the production. Combined with the earlier Frill flashback reveal thing, which fell flat on its face, the thing ended in a deeply underwhelming way. I have no idea what some people mean, when they say the whole show was artsy and confusing. The story was simple and easy to follow from the very beginning, and so was this episode. The confusing bit is how it's supposed to be the stopping point. The parallel dimension trope should've been explored way earlier into the story, now it feels like a sudden, basic asspull, and frankly, a lot of the show up to that point felt like filler that could've been cut to make space. 6/10 The first episode remains a solid 10, feels like a complete, standalone short film and I will recommend it to people as such. |

| Wasn't a fan of this anime really at all, and that "last episode" was just terrible. I saw people say it was AOTS or AOTY before watching and I just don't see it. I've read many reviews and posts and comments trying to understand the hype behind this pretentious anime but I haven't found any that clearly state why they like it so much outside "it's deep" or "it's mature" or "it deals with heavy subjects". An anime dealing with darker themes doesn't necessarily make it better so that doesn't explain to me what is good about it. I don't care if people like an anime I don't like but I can usually understand why they enjoy it. Not this one though, and I've tried. |

| Wtf was this attempt at Gainax ending? I really hope that the special episode will clarify all of this... |
 |
| This is legit the first time I rate an episode with a 1/5. This was incredibly bad. And if this doesn´t have a second season, much worse. Want something good to watch after these crap? Watch Flip Flappers. It has the same task-isekai atmosphere with nice characters too, and the main difference with this is that after those 12 psychodelical, crazy and not-understandable characters, the series has a great closing with almost nothing left out. Won´t make any spoilers on how it happens or what happens (of course), but the final episode does everything that this one hasn´t. |

| Man, I'm not entirely sure if I understood everything correctly but it was great as always. What an amazing show, I didn't know what to expect about it just from the synopsis and promo image but as soon as I watched it it blew my mind, I loved it. One of my favorite shows of the season although unfortunately it had those awful production problems. Now all that's left is to wait for that final episode which I hope it will be at least double length so it can wrap up the series nicely. |
| Really good anime, touched on a lot of sensitive subjects and beautiful animation. However I feel that the ending was a bit rushed and almost too upbeat given how dark some parts were. I love that they put a positive spin on the girls struggles and had them all working together to get through it but I think they could’ve made the end not so happy and upbeat as I just feel like it is was such a contrast to the rest of the episode. I kind of wish we learned about Koito (I mean we spent the whole anime wondering what really happened) and Mr Sawakis relationship with Ai and her Mum. Same with Neiru’s friend Kotobuki. I just feel like some things were brushed over and I wish I knew even more about their stories and what their true personalities were like. **Edit - I’ve just seen that there is going to be a special in a few months time so I’m hoping that answers all my questions. 😅🤷🏻♀️ |

| Nothing makes me angrier than when the best character doesn’t get the fleshed out story they deserve. Neiru was by far the best character but we never learned what happened with her sister? What was the point of episode 11 if that didn’t get addressed at all? Did the friends they “saved” even get saved, or did the main girls just come to understand why they killed themselves? I hate having more questions than I started with. It’s painful to see a good show not get a complete ending. 6.5/10 |

| Ending was ok considering there's a special episode coming later this year, still i think they tackle more themes and plots than they could manage with such a high quality anime in so few episodes, overall i reaaally enjoyed this show and as much as i became a fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, this was my favorite from the season, hoping to see more original series in this quality. 9/10 |
| Did this just end? What about Frill? What about the weird ass looking Dot and Hyphen? What about the other girls? Will there be a S2? The second half of the show was an absolute mess. They introduced 50 plot points and in the final episode they were like - Fuck it. Great ost, Great animation , Great first half. And then a stupid end. Even though the second half was good looking, it made absolutely no sense.... Kinda reminds me of Penguindrum. |
 |
| They really should have attached the preview for the true final episode to episode 12, huh. A lot of people keep acting as if this was the ending. |
 |
| I feel there are too many kneejerk reactions here, even 1/10s just because of the emotional upset of not getting an official ending right now. Some arguments cannot even be subjectively justified, since the last few episodes have been technically successful and the plot follows logically. Just because it didn't turn out the way some wanted doesn't make it horrible. |
| The guys who downrate this because 'the ending is shit' are the kind of people who would rate NGE(TV) 6 because 'the ending is unfinished' Like, of course the final episode can still be crap but at least see it before talking shit about it. It's a shame they ran out of budget and gave us this rather coarsely animated episode leaving us hanging for three months but well I did like the content. About the whole story I do think the producers were being a little too ambitious and tried to cram too much content and plotlines into a single cour. One final episode probably wouldn't connect all the dots atm(unless it's a double or triple episode), I'm totally unconfident about Neiru Rika and Momoe getting proper closure(we don't even know about Neiru's sister yet) |
| I'm confused >,< too many things happen. I love this anime except the revelation of Arca & Ura-Acca, that episode confused me a lot until this last episode. This anime is pretty and I still like the story except the Frill flashback. 7/10 |

| Can't say anything too bad but it seems that they just cut it off. The show has no ending. |
| So, no more adolescence problems, just weird entities forcing girls to suicide? That's cheap and disappointing. I feel betrayed after such finale. It literally renders all the ride pointless. |

The fact that the girls didn't suicide by their own won't be undone. |

| This turned out to be something of a mix between Sora yori mo Tooi Basho and Madoka that adopted a few Gurren Lagann elements toward the end there. It's not a particularly smooth combination. |
| What a stupid show, mystery for the sake of mystery with no answers presented. Was expecting much much more from an original series with a huge budget where they have the freedom to do almost anything. |

Sjinkgen said: I actually find this episode amazing. I was expecting a lot of answers and what I got instead was punch in the balls, the writer hitting me on the face with "this is what I want to tell, not what you want to hear or see". I have a friend who is a writer and often uses himself as a character in his novels, he's the narrator and from time to time he comes out saying "I don't know why this happened, I have to be honest... this is just how the story goes". The argument "this sucks because I have unanswered questions" doesn't mean anything. We can argue about why the author takes the time to tell Frizz's story and why Urr-Acca is a POV character. The rest is perfect the way it is. Neither Ai or the other girls have to know anything. Ai may never find why Koito killed herself and that's fine, that's how life works. Not everything has to have a point. Talking about suicide in the open, showing how fucked up the life of a group of girls can be and yet they band together and make their miserable existence a lot easier is one thing to remark, as a psychologist I appreciate it. There is no lesson to learn from a suicide, there is no meaning, no after death, no subtle way to talk about it... There are a lot of build up to this episode: In the first episode the "training" egg girl mentions Ai is immortal in that world, except is something happens to her heart or her eyes. Go rewatch the whole thing, you'll notice here and there more and more evidence of this ending being all planned from the start and the author managed to punch you in the face with it nonetheless. I'll keep this show as one of my (few) 10/10, yet I have so many questions I would like to be answered on next episode (special). Interesting viewpoint. Personally, I enjoyed this series. It touched on a topic considered taboo and did a fine job, IMO. Sjinkgen is right; in life, we may never know the answers to someone choosing to end their lives, while in the average mindset feels there are other ways of dealing with issues and are quick to add that infamous saying, "you shouldn't be so weak - vulnerable - sensitive," yada, yada, yada. We're all different; we don't handle, tolerate or respond to things in the same manner as others. Nice revealing anime. |
