Glad that at least a couple of the non-main characters seem to have remained not hosed up, the reasonable Princess guy and the nurse and all that. Looks like a couple of the theories turned out right, accepting one's scars gets you out alright, but looking away from them is what gets you aged.

I'm glad the show became more like Persona than Lost.

Calling it now, this is going to end up with all the less-monstrous Nanakis going to live with God and play fighting games all day.

This went completely off the rails and it's simultaneously hilarious and insane.

So many great moments this episode. They only made it to the village because God was taking a nap. Holy poo poo.

I think the bus might be my new favorite Mayoiga character. I love how it just crashes in out of nowhere to disrupt scenes it doesn't like.

The bus got skills too. It manages to thread the needle between people wrestling with each other without hitting anyone.

It was a little bit rushed, but I think it ended fairly well given the time constraints.

GOOD END I liked this show a lot! I think there was too much plot at the end and after a point it stopped being as funny and dark as it was at its best, but it was still solid stuff. Mitsumune's last Nanaki was very cute! The last conversation between those two was surprisingly good actually.

Meh. It had just enough nice moments to keep me watching and hoping for more, but taken as a whole the show was thoroughly underwhelming.

What was the point of Wankoro? Why did he exist? He had less of a role than the three Yuunas who were all one joke! WHO IS WANKORO

Great ending to an utterly crazy and hilarious show, just as ridiculous a finale as I could have hoped for. I couldn't believe it when the unlucky hippopotamus song came back. Going to miss Mayoiga.

Well, that was interesting. I agree that the ending kind of lacked impact after everything that came before it, but on the whole I rather liked this show. I quite liked the horror/farce thing they did and wouldn't mind seeing more things like that in the future.

This line slayed me in Mitsumune's "why Masaki is actually awesome" speech: Such a strange little show. I enjoyed it, but was hoping for a crazier ending. I thought they were setting up some tragedy for the bus (falls off a cliff, hit by a train, etc.) the second they went back into the hippopotamus song.

I didn't realize how much I wanted a Nanaki battle manga until the first 10 minutes of that episode. Giant, horrific/adorable flesh-mechs made of people's psychological scars oh gently caress I'm describing NGE aren't I?

What a wet fart of an ending. Also why are they so clean? When did they get a chance to wash their clothing after all that running and falling?

Phobophilia posted:The dialogue is completely over the top and all the social commentary is completely on the nose. This is not a subtle show. The characters are unapologetic fuckups, and their choice to run away means they will simply repeat their mistakes. The milquetoast protagonist is the most hosed up of them all, and will set in motion the events of the plot. This has the makings of a black comedy. The question is, how hosed are the characters: character building messed up, or guts flying hosed. eh v  v i guess some of the characters learnt a bit more about themselves and grew to become better people

I kind of liked the ending. Both this show and erased end up being very different from what they initially presented themselves as. But where as Erased was a coming of age story, this seems more like a kind of self-help book in anime form.

It's a shame that the ending was so anticlimactic. The high point of the show, in terms of both tension and comedy, was last week with LovePon's indignant "Kondo wa tractor!?" Really, it could have benefitted from a few more episodes, so they could show off a couple more monsters, explain a few more backstories, and build up some tension via the Hayato/Koharun dream team.

I think it would have benefited from being thirteen episodes rather than twelve; this last episode felt like it was trying to wrap everything up ASAP. Even skipping the opening entirely, if felt cramped, skipped over some things (like Nanko and Valkana kicking rear end apparently), and then kind of just ended. It was still entertaining, but, yeah.

I feel the anticlimax was a deliberate joke as well. I mean, one of them just said 'All right, let's go', and boom - credits. This is not a show that really believes in building and releasing dramatic tension. Remember Koharun trying to sob out her traumatic backstory about her sick dad only for him to chime in with "Oh, that? No big."

It didn't turn into gore porn, so that's a point in its favor though I wouldn't have minded them winnowing the stupidly bloated cast down a little. Still... I can't prove you're wrong, but a lot of this director's shows suffer from similar problems. It's all well and good to say "no, no it's anti-climatic/boring/pointless on purpose," I just don't believe there's this high-minded purpose behind it. The most positive spin I'm willing to concede is that he tries to put a personal touch on the otherwise sub-par material he's assigned. I'd be curious to see how a show he wrote himself turned out, I guess??

Shirobako and Girls und Panzer definitely showed that he knows how to build and release tension, and there were a lot of obvious jokes that required extra animation effort, like Yottsun picking his nose during God's exposition dump, or the little caged penguin happily waving at the audience during Mitsumune and Speedstar's emotional heart-to-heart. The whole thing ending with yet more pedantic nitpicking and an execution joke was pretty obvious, too.
