    I didn't mind the ending, the worst part was the month break between that cliffhanger though. Great series I'd recommend it to anyone who likes anime.

    Yeah, now that it's finished, it must be nice being able to watch episode after episodes instead of waiting a month for each. One of my favorite series, especially with all the neat characters and their swords.

    I do hope they show the 4th episode fight. I remember I was complaining about that back in April ;x

    The whole show had an artificial flow to it, not just that episode in my opinion.

    Shichika's lack of emotions was part of the reason why everything felt so weird, but it's something I had accepted a long time before. Having a good idea how it would play out (because of shichika, because of of the preview) made the whole thing a lot more dramatic for me.

    Though I do have doubt on Sugata popping a boner on her to begin with, if you know what I mean
    We all know they'd rather have Takuto in there, amirite? Theygay.

    re: katanagatari

    Shichika's emotionless demeanor is what makes the show so awesome. And his personality was long established as someone isolated with a weird concept of death and family members.

    Spoiler: show
    and his rage at the end makes it that much more powerful after he killed his father and sister with no emotion, then togame's death causes him to ragemodo.

    I agree with you on that. It just wouldnt be the same if Shichika was moping around all the time after killing people. It also made last episode much more meaningful like you said.

    Certain scenes were still weird because of this, but I think it added a nice dramatic effect by making it more cruel

    About last episode
    Spoiler: show
    People who believe it was trolling probably missed the point of the show, or confuse "sad end" with "trolling". Ultimately, Togame took many innocents life on her quest, and it's only natural that she pay for it at some point. Since her existence conflicted with the real timeline, and because Togame's father died for this as well, she decided to accept her fate. It's sad, but at the same time, it bring her on the same level as everyone.

    Shichika's question near the end confirm pretty much everything. The princess didn't dislike Togame, she killed her because she had to, because it was her duty. It's no different than what they were doing in the first 11 episodes and because Shichika understood this, he spared her life.


    Shichika: Wanted to acomplish Togame's goal, or dies trying
    Emonzaemon: Wanted to accomplish the princess' goal or dies trying
    Togame: Accepted her fate but wanted Shichika to live hapilly (which is why she lied to him before dying)
    Princess Hitei: Wanted to accomplish her mission, but was ready to dies after

    The way they all fought against each other without any grudge was just perfect, and I think the ending was just perfect in that regard.

    Fuuuuuuu, look like they lolified the character design...Let's hope it's just one character, and not the whole cast that will look like 4 years old.

    What's that Last Exile thing? Are they remaking it? Or is there a sequel coming? Is a sequel even possible? Been a while since I watched it but I think things were pretty much ended for good...

    I'm about to start Index II, I sure hope the season is as good as the OP was, really enjoyed that.

    The only "loli" I remember in Last Exile was the kid, no one else really gave of that vibe. But it's been years since I watched.

    Yeah, I liked Last Exile because it was very much not your "mainstream" anime with your usual anime characters/personalities. Only loli would've been the actual kid, but I don't remember considering her one, she was just a kid. It was a "serious" anime.

    The character designs do look a bit too young for their ages. Al is my favorite imouto ever though so I don't know what to think. I'm hoping it will still have a serious tone and not turn into a moeblob fest like most anime are these days.

    Chun Li looks to be loli form there. I don't know the other characters though.

    Chun and Ibuki have tits so I wouldn't say loli <_< definitely moe. I like moeblob stuff just as much as the next K-on! fan, but that doesn't mean I can't want a good, serious, adventure anime to stick with what it does best and not try to appeal to the masses.

    I guess chibi would be the more correct term then, but whatever.

    I agree with your point completely though, Last Exile should keep its seriousness and not be like all the other anime.
