Heh, those idols made a cameo in the finale.

On a serious note, it looks like the episode continued to explore Yuki's experiences the mysterious depths of Lost. Seems the episode managed to cap the main events together while giving some peace for Takuya.

Still a very underwhelming anime altogether though if you ask me.

Good thing they were able to defeat Taiyo.

Too bad Yuki lost her memories.

Overall, this was an interesting series.

Hmm so Taiyo only cares about opening the portal that will allow him to save his own world while condemning his current one to die. While to a greater man who is able to see the larger picture and would try to do so without destroying one world the responsibility while a great one would show just how great a person he is to Tauyo this just makes him look even more cheap and sad as well. The choice that Yuki was presented with though sure was a tough one. On one hand you can reset the world and thus prevent the lost but in doing so you would wipe out everyone and thing that was born after the lost. While the reset would have been a great choice im glad that Yuki chose the second as it meant that she didn't want to forget all of the bonds and experiences that she had. Though Suzuna fell while trying to take down Taiyo her foretelling sure managed to strike back in a timely manner. Hmm while its nice that they managed to stop Taiyo's plan and address what happened to everyone after it that sure was a weird ending. But at least the ending theme from Kana was good.

The ending wasn't that great and a little underwhelming but still, it was fine.

Overall the show had some positive points like the music, a little story and art (in some parts) but the CG was the negative factor that pushed away a lot of people. Also the story felt shrinked to mach the 12 episode window, maybe even a little too much because the last few episodes felt a little empty but i can say that the execution was alright.

It might not deserve this but since the show was somewhat enjoyable for me, ill give it 8/10.

If you told me the script for this came from a preschooler through a government funded youth creativity project or some shit, I would 100% believe you. I have a very, very hard time believing adults wrote this. Proper, functioning adults in a career. A heavily competitive career with a large audience and high demands. And they got paid for this.
I've never liked the phrase "made me lose brain cells" but I can't think of anything else more fitting to describe my experience with this. I felt myself getting dumber as I tried to understand this show, to put myself in the shoes of it's creators. It's impossible to comprehend any of the "why's" without first making yourself a retard too.
This how show is mind boggling, and a good reminder in just how terrible things can get.

I can only hope that those who were responsible for this crime against humanity never get to produce another show again. What an ugly waste of funds, time, and talent (on behalf of the artists who weren't in charge of writing or directing this utter garbage).

I think it was a decent enough ending, the 5 scoring I really find harsh to be honest, it earned 6 in my eyes at least. Honestly, I've seen way worse shows than this.

So Suzuna turned out to be the hidden MVP.

Too bad Yuki lost her memories, Takuya seemed to be alright for the most part. Still, they could have let them talk or something. I feel a bit cheated here.

Overall the plot came down to save this or that world of which....nothing has actually happened. The world the bad guys wanted to save got ended I guess and Yuki didn't redo the world she was born in. I can't blame her since her fathers' request was kinda unfair, at least he was cool with her decision in the end.

End song was cool too btw.

Maybe they could have come up with something more interesting but the 12 ep limitation and the fact that this was based on a mobile game didn't really help things.

I am not saying this should have never existed but why they decided to adapt this I have zero idea....

Definitely the second worst anime from Madhouse.
Pacing was all over the place and as a result, you have no clue what is happenings by the end of third episode. But it wasn't as bad as Index 3. It's sad to see such prominent and talented voice actors being wasted on such poor project.

That was the most undeveloped rushed ending I've ever encountered in my life. It was almost like the writer gave up on it. Too bad Takuya and Yuki didn't meet at the end! But how did he survive though?

4/10 forgettable and won't miss it.

This series had two decent episodes in its entire 12 episode run, as far as I’m concerned... The time-loop, idol episode. And the one that flashed back on the life of Yuki’s father, back when he first met and fell in love with her mother. Apart from that, by and large, the entire rest of the series was underwhelming and forgettable, for me. Which I’m sad to say, as the premise would’ve actually been really investing and intriguing, if only it were paced and fleshed out better.

WAD THE HECK.

Those one-time-off characters came back as a cameo...just because they exist.

So Yuki is the time-warp device herself, made that way by her dad (Daichi) that in spite of enemy "invasion", the source would be available somewhere.

So the real MVP was Suzuna, one step ahead of Taiyo. So those experiments before weren't for naught. Even with 99% of failures, there's the 1% that could.

AND WTF IS THE LAST SEGMENT OF THE SHOW. Everything resolved without any form of explanation, lest Yuki's memories erased and forgetting all about Takuya. Though I'm not one to complain after coming this far.

This is the RErideD that could excel decently, if more effort was actually given to it.

More along the lines of 2-3/10.

I have got a lot to say about this series and its ending and none of it is good. I will start with Daichi. I honestly have no idea why the creators of this anime would make a character like that. All in all, he was just an irresponsible person and father who tried to push the hard decisions to his teenage daughter. It was completely unnecessary to call her to lost just for the sake of making her choose one world over the other.
Second, that suspense towards the end about the fate of Takuya was just horrible. It seemed like a ploy to make the series appear more interesting and suspenseful than it actually is but, in the end, the conclusion was just mediocre much like the rest of the series.
I started out liking this series and honestly believed that the MAL congress recommendation not to watch it was a bit harsh but I somewhat agree with it now. I am too disappointed with how this anime turned out.

This anime is just awful. I only kept watching to see the ending. So you get a chance to undo a major disaster that essentially destroyed the lives of everyone you know, and you decide not to because it's better for everyone to just continue living in untold suffering... The whole reason everyone wanted to go to Lost in the first place was to get their loved ones back! Saying that she didn't want to reject the other universe was dumb too, since it was already dying (and now certainly is completely dead).

Takuya was especially shafted, since he's alone forever now...

All in all: the action scenes were slow and clumsy, the supporting cast wasn't memorable, and the sparse and cryptic plot that did exist was consistently bogged down by filler and malaise.

Takuya was the best character in the show, and even he essentially did nothing but drive Yuki around and act like he was cool. In reality he was weak and pointless, barely serving as Yuki's foil. You could have easily replaced him with a talking car.

This would have been so much better if the entire show had revolved around their journey to Lost even if the major plot points stayed the same. Instead, they abandoned that IMMEDIATELY to introduce new side characters and focus on "character development" (really just a series of boring exposition dumps).

Best episode was the one about Daichi and Yuki's mom, even if their relationship made little sense.

2/10. Definitely seen worse, but that doesn't make this watchable or enjoyable

Well she did mention the kids that were born since Lost, but that was basically an after thought. I guess the implication is that if she erased the past, then those kids may not be born. That makes sense as motivation for not erasing the past. However, her main reason for not reverting the Lost incident seems to have been that everyone "pushed through their grief and worked hard to keep on living". That is the most horseshit, anime/manga tropey reason for not fixing what your father broke.

There were so many plot threads left hanging in this episode.

Like, why the hell did Taiyo kill the green haired woman, other than they just wanted him to seem like an insane villain?

Where exactly did Taiyo, the Green haired woman and Daichi come from, and why did it need saving?

Why did they even bring the police woman and her compatriots into the story? They played basically NO role in the story.

Why can't Takuya and Yuki be together? So she forgot him, why does that necessitate him trying to avoid her, but leaving weird signals that he is around?

This show was a damn mess, and that ending was about as unsatisfying as the ending of Hanebado. It's frustrating, when a show actually shows some potential, unlike some of the other crap out there that you know will be crap from episode 1 (Master of Ragnarok, My Sister My Writer) and then doesn't even come close to meeting that potential.

ouch that ending...
Besides weak start, some of the backstory/arcs in middle were decent enough, a few later episodes actually got amazing. Idol, orphanage/Takuya, magician stuff & outing Lacuna, & otherworld/Yuki's dad arc all got solid potential but could be better developed. Too many characters & mashup of plots lost some focus. They should at least show the otherworld those 3 came from, would've given more context of whether they mattered & to Yuki's decision.
It was ok in the end.

That was about the worst way you could possibly end an already bad show.

Yuki chooses not to pick a universe because of "people continued to move forward" and to keep the bonds she forged. Meanwhile everyone who died for the sake of this is still dead, and Yuki "forgets" (but doesn't completely forget) Takuya, and he remembers but makes no effort to reach out to her either.....

This ending could've easily been 10000x better if they got down to the bottom of Lost, and Daichi presents the choice to Yuki in a better way. Something along the lines of correcting his mistake that killed people, saving the world, saving her brother, etc. Instead of "pick universe 1 or 2 and the other one will cease". And then Taiyo goes to kill her father or something and she jumps on a computer there and selects the "save the world" option and then everything that happened in that what-if scene actually flash forwarded and actually happened. I would've much rather had the "the happiness that should've happened" route happen and then Taukya and Yuki never actually meet due to circumstance rather than the bullshit choice they went with which resulted in them still not reconnecting. Christ, they even could've done something like Eiji and the pink haired woman were still work friends with Daichi and his family in the "true happiness" universe and had Takuya courier something to Daichi's house and he crosses paths with Yuki that way.

Then there's also the gigantic plot holes of why Diachi's body was dead on a mountain for 50 years. Or the fact that they didn't explain ANYTHING about how Daichi, Taiyo, and the girl are from a parallel world: how they got there, why they were there, what happened to their world, what the portal is/how it works, what the project Noah was....literally nothing actually explained there.

Just to rub salt in the wound, you know the fucking show was bad when most of the seiyuu were pretty mainstream names, and yet the MAL page doesn't have the majority of credits listed even after the show has been over this long.

All of the children born after Lost are literally babies though. Babies that are going to grow up through hellish strife with emotionally devastated parents lol. Even in the show logic, it just doesn't make sense.

I think Taiyo killed her because he already put her life in jeopardy once (equally stupid) testing the antidote, and he figured she would double-cross him (although she would gain nothing from doing so, since she couldn't have survived in Lost).

The only hints from the story were that it was a parallel universe that was experiencing some sort of phenomenon like a Big Crunch, Big Chill, or Heat Death. Lost was some sort of wormhole that would have allowed them to cross over (potentially their entire planet I assume), but only one instance of something can exist in a universe at the same time. The 3 of them lucked out because their counterparts were already dead in this universe.

I feel like they only brought the police woman in to serve as a friend to Yuki and build Takuya's former boss' character. I agree though, all of them including his former boss could have easily been cut from the story. Even his two teammates could've been killed off in the beginning without effecting much.

Yuki would have been a bronze medal for Takuya in my book. Definitely not OTP but would have been better than nothing.

Umm well that wasn't really the best ending now was it? Takuya supposedly disappeared but he left behind an article of clothing that Yuki can see. Why can't she see Takuya, exactly? What's the difference between Takuya and his clothing? Explanations are needed.

Not really the best experience if I'm being honest. The anime couldn't decide which direction it would take, a lot of these episodes didn't correlate with one another in the slightest, backstories and flashbacks are overused, the characters lack proper development -- there are just way more negatives than there are positives. The premise was pretty good, but the execution wasn't. The story was brimming with potential, but other elements brought it down.

LOL Yuki choose this universe over the one where they don't have tons of people dying. Why Takuya didn't talk with her in the end?

The villains are so poorly developed that they make me mad especially Tsuki and Taiyo that we know absolutely nothing about their past before meeting Yuki's dad. And Suzuna is just an asspull character. The rest? The fat guy was annoying, generic and stupid, probably the worst character in the entire show. Takuya and Yuki? I honestly do not understand why they try to force a friendship between them when there is no charisma between them and the worst thing is that in the end nothing matter.

This is ridiculous. 2/10 for the anime.

My God is it finally over. All that build-up for a disappointing big bad boss encounter. Like come on, a piece of bullet debris lodged in his heart, how can I take that seriously. The moment between Yuki and her dad was nice.

Yuki was the Observer and chose the current world over the ideal universe. You mean to tell me that the journey here was for that choice, lol. If Taiyo hadn't been around, like the mad and poorly written villain as he was, what would be the point in this show.

I take it Takuya had no memories of Yuki, like she has of him, and only remembered her after seeing the green curtains on that building... You know what, I don't even care. Fuck 'em both. Send me to the nearest Lost, so I can forget this crap.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was bothered by that. My personal thought was to also wonder how many would truly have been "lost" rather than born into a world where there parents weren't devastated and the answer would be, only those whose parents came together because of lost, which in the amount of time that passed couldn't be that much, or those who had a kid out of grief, which can't be that many, yet it doesn't even factor in the kids not born because people are to terrified of another Lost happening somewhere else in the world.

So, it feels like they were trying really hard to justify her decision because it was the "opposite" of the bad guys, not because it was actually the right decision.
