Holy crap, I just watched all 24 episodes in these past 2 days. The first half of the series was exhilarating, I couldn't stop watching. The back and forth logic fights were absolutely genius. However, after the first half, the series started to calm down. It had a much slower pace and a few scenes were a bit dragged on. The ending was fine in regards to matching the pace and feel of the second half of the series. However, if I were to compare the ending to the first half of the series, it would only be mediocre. True it had some cheeky, funny, and smart moments but it just doesn't compare to the first half.

I'm a sucker for romance animes, so I really wished they showed more of the Hakaze and Yoshino relationship. However, knowing there going to be together and leaving the rest to imagination is probably best.

Loved every minute of this series. Watched it all the way back in the winter season and tried to keep up with the episodes every Thursday. I'm glad to say this was an enjoyable ride. From Yoshino and Aika all the way to the end with Yoshino and Hakaze. Loved it, although Samon and all them, I'd like to see what they're doing now. And I want to see who Mahiro was talking about, good for him. Good for Hanemura as well, getting back woman! Loved it. 10/10.

A very decent ending. I really liked this anime, however a few episodes from the second season were a bit boring, so it's 8/10 for me.

Well the series was great overall, but the Dialogue was pretty damn heavy after the 2nd half of the series; the reason being for this is because the talking was non-stop throughout this period of the series and we barely if not had no action. The only exception to this would be the short 1-2 min battles and even if the final battle with the Tree was underwhelming.

However it had great character development overall, so 8/10 from me.

Great conclusion! Everything go wrapped up nicely. Shame we didn't get to see a kiss at the end though. Aika teasing them until the very end was hilarious too. xD

Overall a very deep series. I really enjoyed it because it was something different. 8/10.

Sword out of nowhere made the fight seem rushed, but oh well.
Character resolutions went well; everybody happy, I guess. (Jun? Who's that?)
Consistent story overall, so 8/10

I'm one of those who really liked the start and watching the great back and forth between the characters. Still some interesting moments later on but I wish there was more of them. Maybe it is because I didn't particularly care for Hanemura. Except for laughing at what I thought looked like pineapples crossed with duran fruits flying at him.

If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list.

Everything went smoothly until the end. Unlike some other animes, that has quick endings and you don't know what the hell had happened.

Also, I just love the way Aika cares for Mahiro and Yoshino (>ワ<)

8/10 for me.

This is one of 3 anime i watched that concluded nicely in less than 26 episode. Most anime drag on for too long and isn't able to end things well. Therefore 9/10.

I thought Aika trolling Mahiro and Yoshino at the end was hilarious and was the highlight of this episode. Yoshino and Hakaze didn't get any hug/kiss at the end was an ok thing for me. Because i'm a fan of open endings, i'm glad Yoshino and Hakaze together isn't set in stone, I'm sure everyone will move on with their lives and settle down eventually but there is no hurry to pair up everybody asap. Also one thing Aika said really got my imagination going, 'Mahiro's personality is the perfect match for Yoshino XD' So i'm glad this ending keeps us guessing.

Ignoring that whole sword crap i actually liked this series.

Is that actually explained in the manga or does it come out of nowhere there too?

Guys, the Sword o Exodus wasn't exactly out of nowhere. Remember that Samon wanted to use the Tree of Exodus since the beginning to destroy the other one.
Hanemura just did that.

Anyway, despite the gun shoot trick being cheap, I give this episode 9/10.

9/10 to the series as a whole too.

Aikaaaaa! Even in death she never changes, haha.

This show's evolved in to something entirely different from my first impressions. I didn't expect the heavy emphasis on reasoning and logic but in hindsight, it was an enjoyable ride. So much has happened with Hakaze's time travel, the multi-episode debate with Samon mid-way through and the twist later on. The characters really grew on me, Yoshino and Mahiro are really the most unusual duo and Hakaze never ceased to impress.

OP's and ED's were great, but I prefer the second batch. That's when the plot really took off. I think it's an unusual show but it's won me over with its charm. 8/10.

Although the story would never have been as good/emotional/powerful, if Aika survived or brought back to life somehow like Hakaze did, I still wish there were an alternate ending to this to accompany this like an OVA where she lives in the end. ...I'm alright with a weaker story if that were the only trade-off.

Pretty good anime, the manga is over as well (according to wiki).
I feel like something was missing and also after the first 12 episode the series took a little ridiculous turn of event but it turned out great so no complain XD
An OVA would be great to conclude the license...

I still adore the friendship that Mahiro and Yoshino have. I feel in love with the characters but a part of me still wishes Yoshino could have been with Aika. Over all I think I almost died at the end of episode 23 to find out Yoshino was okay and not mortally wounded. I think everyone was freaking out wondering why the artists were trying to kill off Yoshino so much xD

I think there could be a sequel, or at least i hope there's one, for the theory of magic leaving was never definite it was always "likely" ,"maybe" and "probably" never once did they say for certain it was going to disappear, unless I'm wrong and I could be. but they could make a sequel of them rebuilding the world and a strong force outside of earth trying to destroy it since the theory was also made of someone putting the trees there, someone not of this world.

This was a great series for me. It was entertaining, fun, and majority of the characters were really good, even the new annoying guy who saved the world.

This show hit all the right notes for me. It wasn't particularly subtle or nuanced, but then again, why should it be subtle or nuanced? It's a fucking anime about crazy mages and apocalyptic trees. The music was also so over the top but in a perfect way. It had the score of a Shakespearean tragedy and that's exactly what they were going for. It handled the tone shifts quite well and didn't fall apart after the big twist, which happens more often than not (many shows peak in the ante-penultimate or penultimate episode) and the ending was definitely satisfying to me (I know people wanted to see a kiss, but I liked the cut. It's enough to know that they did).

Hanakana always blows my mind and this was no exception. In general I thought the voice cast was stellar, but Aika in particular was a terrific character, and Hanakana is definitely a big part of that. They did a really good job deifying Aika - she was supposed to look like the perfect girl, and they nailed it. It reminded me of the way Cameron Crowe made Kate Hudson look in Almost Famous - you were supposed to see her like a goddess because that's how Russell saw her. Same thing her. Yoshino and Mahiro both saw her as the girl of their dreams, and they conveyed it well by making her seem sorta perfect.

Burned through this in a few days and it was a joy to watch.

It was simply amazing. Everything worked out perfectly, even the comedy parts were hilarious (i LOL'd when Samon joked about his wig, even in such a serious conversation). Plot was executed well until the very end, i will miss this.

I basically have the same opinion, as i really enjoyed the first 12 episodes, but I felt the tone of the series drastically changed after that. Stll, I enjoyed the ending so overall it's a 7 for me.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...
