I was starting to think this show's gimmick was getting old and worn but this episode sure showed me.

Hopefully people can actually watch this, because the live action music video for the OP is glorious - with four times the Sakamoto. :kimchi:

Oh wow! The OP doesn't actually do much for me, especially compared with Sakamoto's theme but that was a great video :)

It was perfect. The copier part is what made me truly love the manga in the first place and the ending sequence's lighting was a gorgeous touch.

DVD-only final episode sucks, though. I need my Sakamoto fix.

As someone who looks uncomfortably similar to Sera I appreciated this episode.

The tactical espionage action in the first half had me actually laughing out loud after a few episodes of mere chuckles.

Of all the anime this season to have a clear antagonist/villain I wasn't expecting Sakamoto to go down that route. :suspense:

i only just noticed in the OP, like, it's not that he's passing by some really shocked person (who would be the only character in the OP that isn't Sakamoto, which is heresy), I just realized he put his coat on an anatomy model and is probably using it as a clothes model mannequin

He didn't want it to catch a cold.

Can Sakamoto's VA sing German opera that's what I want to see.

I know of VAs in Japan who, surprisingly enough, are fluent or almost fluent in German. Tried to see if Midorikawa Hikaru's past anime roles show anything like that but I couldn't really find anything. Not that the anime can't just put in a tape version of German opera and call it a day, but hearing Japanese actors and voice actors speak foreign languages properly is always kind of amazing. :allears: The anime industry's more known for under-utilizing foreign language savvy VAs, though.

I know for a fact that Miyuki Sawashiro, Sayaka Ohara and Chiwa Saitou all speak English fairly well. Tetsuya Kakihara (Simon in Gurren Lagann) speaks like 4 languages really well, too.

Probably the best English I've seen spoken in anime like really recently is from Yuki Kaida.

I mean, you can never go wrong with knowing how to speak English, no matter where you're from.

But... who needs German?

Really looking forward to Sakamoto's Erlkönig performance, too

A little disappointed they didn't get Midorikawa to sing the part.

So the manga for this ended and people have pointed out that it's implied that Sakamoto dies or is dying. It was a surprisingly poignant and heartfelt ending. Gotta say, I got a little teary.

Also, every time I watch the ending for this anime I get the impression that its implying Sakamoto is homeless and essentially lives at the school. Does anyone else get that impression?

There was a theory on reddit that the ending was actually Sakamoto having a terminal illness thats why he ended up having to leave the school. Also explains his lifestyle trying to live life to the fullest. The ending shot of Sakamoto in a locker is also kinda strange. Anyway I just recently finished it was really good. I loved the absurd humor in this compared to Tanaka which a lot of people preferred over this. Studio Deen has been on fire in 2016. Also Sera is awesome!
