| i didnt get it :S what happened to train? and where did he go later? i thought this episode was really rushed.. |
| Did seem a bit rushed, but basically I think Train just had some battle within his mind and afterward for some reason he decided he'd go back to being the loner for awhile. Don't know why though, but hey that's what he did. |
 |
| 3 out of 5: It was OK (your vote) Nothing special.. Way too rushed. Somehow authors managed to smack down thiese fun series. The beginning was awsome, mid - good, ending - mediocre. If not such rushed ending it would get 8 from me, but now only 7(good). |
| The Anime Is Excellent of the Start to epidode 20! The three last episodes are terrible!!!! |
 |
| This was the worst anime i've ever completed watching. |
  |
| The anime was really good until the end of Train vs Creed afterthat it goes downhill to a depressing speed... Last episode was horrible, look like the creater has put a plot without thinking how to finish it and that's what he had in mind at the time he done it... so rushed and suck ass. ep1 to 19 = 9/10 ep20 to 23 = 5/10 (was only bearable because of the 19 episode before) Still Eve is a wonderfull character if the plot wasn't centered about her I probably hadn't even bother watching the end. |
 |
| Well I have seen the struggle of Creed and the other, but finally, while confusing at times loved this anime. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| this anime was ok it had lots of elements were it could have been deep but its just ok |
| this anime started off entertaining but the ending really sucked D:< |
 |
| though the last episodes without Creed is unnecessary for me i liked the ending and the Tengen-Toppa style of the serie:) maybe cause i didnt expect much first, i really liked it^^ |
 |
| The only thing I liked about this episode was Creed coming back, this time friendly. And I love the redesign, from a red rose to a white rose. Also great to see the fire lady and blood man back. Charming. But WAY to fast! And we got to little information, they should create a full episode after the fight, with happy moments where all are doing great, where we could see the last peace of animation of the characters. I would like to see Black Cat and Creed getting along again, Eve getting along with her mother and such things! :C And in the fight, I would like to see Eve's face when she woke up of the nano machine, and see her friends again. A total rush, the last episode is a 1/10 (I think the last episode is very essential in an anime, and this just didn't do it, this ending is definitely not good enough). I agree that 1 - 19 would be 9/10, I would personally rate the last episodes 3/10. I will give this serie a total rating of 7. Because of the bad ending. |

| Bye bye Train. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| This was the best! Everyone came together to help Eve and they gave a glimpse into everyone's future. It was rushed, I'll admit, but that doesn't affect my opinion. It kinda sucks that Train left, but at the end when Saya showed up, I think it was good that he didn't turn to look back at her because it might mean that Train has finally moved on from his past. This series was great! <3 |
 |
| romance between Sephiria Arks ard blackcat would have beenbetter endian was horrible!! |
| The series was a lot better up until the ending; it is a lot less epic than they it thinks it is. + Doesn't this series have 24 episodes, not 23? |

 |
| yeah i had 24 episodes as well.. i was confused when mal had it listed as 23 |
 |
| Loved the anime but i didn't care for any of story after battle with Creed |
| Going to give this a 6/10. They totally fucked up the plot, not to mention this filler arc was just horrible. But I guess that's what happens, when you try to fit (or even try to?) a 20 vol manga into a 23 episode series... |
| Well, like Sven said, Train will eventually return. Just seems like he'd need a few days alone. I thought the ending was great, but dang, it was SERIOUSLY rushed. I also am not sure why they suddenly skipped to some scenes with the Sweepers all departing in peace (while the big battle was still going on). There's so much I was hoping to see, such as Creed's battle and reuniting with Train (without the creepy sadism and Train-idolizing), and where Sven and Train save Eve. Loved Train's mind-battle, but the end was confusing, where he shot into nowhere to save Eve. The biggest disappointment was how after that last bullet shot, everything just skips to the end where they're leaving after everything is done. Still, I loved how everyone was banding together to save Eve (reminded me of Eureka Seven's last episode). The credits ending was nice, showed happy closure for everyone, and I got goosebumps when I saw Saya... Even more goosebumps when Train just walked by her. For a second I thought it was a super-happy-end type thing, but it was so amazingly bittersweet when he just walked past her (of course, she wasn't exactly there, sweet symbolism). "Every precious time Let it go Somewhere away You will learn, And you'll love, forgive the past and you can move on" Well, this 23 episode deal is confusing me... I know there's a DVD special, so I wonder if some of us watched those 23 episodes with that special episode built in. |
| Use power for the right things. At least for the things that you believe in. |
RebornYoshi said: I really enjoyed this anime, the end was a letdown though its like they crammed 10 worth of episodes into 1.... Would have to agree with this. Towards then end, like 4-6 episodes from the end, I started to notice as if the anime was speeding up to come to an end. What I also didn't like to an extent was Train's personality around half of the anime. Would've preferred his attitude at the beginning of Black Cat. |
| I feel this anime went downhill but I still liked the ending. Train was awesome especially when he was a chronos. I'm definitely going to go read the manga now because I'm sure the anime was rushed and left a lot of stuff out. |
 |
| The Zero Numbers Arc really screwed it over. |
Are you the bloody applause monkey? Keep your sh*t comments to yourself or go troll on 4chan. |
| WELL that was rushed ending |
 |
| I really enjoyed this anime. The ending was less epic than I anticipated and definitely rushed. I like the idea that Train is moving on, away from Saya (or rather the image of Saya), and allowing Sven and Eve to live their own lives. As long as the maintain contact, there is no need to live together. I think he made a good choice leaving. I don't think there will ever be a relationship between Creed and Train. After all, the guy killed Saya. Just like Zanige killed Train's parents, there is a point you just can't get past, which means a friendship is not possible. That's right, Train - forgive, but never forget. |
| sadly the end feel rushed so much, i dont know why they do this, that happen lot of time, why not take 5 more minutes just to explain at everyone what happen to all people we seen in the anime, EVEN OPEN ending,. its something that i hate lot in anime, rushed ending... p.s i would give 8/10 to this, not so bad, but could have been better |
| how incredibly disappointing beginning was brilliant, middle was really good, end was absolute garbage. still, 8/10 because I loved everything but the ending. |
 |
| Sucks to have actaully read the manga and watched this overall to be honest... |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| What a weird but happy ending. |
 |
| Not as if this is the real end or the like. As we all know Episode 19 is supposed to be the final but studio Gonzo wanted to increase the number of episodes so you can see that this is a bad ending But there is something else to read the manga because the studio delete everything when I saw chapter 184 I saw that the clothes Spheria cut off and when I saw Episode 19 of the Anime was her clothes nothing to her so I hate the studio, which distorts things about the manga |
why no one is mentioning the appearance of Saya in the very last scene?  |
It is shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Dune |
| I didn't expect this episode to end so abruptly. I didn't think episode 24 would actually continue the story, I figured it'd be some side thing. As it turns out, the "OVA" that MAL is listing is centered in the middle of the series on the site I'm using. In fact, I'm certain that all the episodes were titled as whole numbers too. So this "14.5" isn't really a side thing. The way MAL has this series listed is a bit confusing unless you look at everything beforehand. That aside, this episode is somewhat of a mess. It's trying to present the final battle while simultaneously showing parts of the epilogue. It's becoming unnecessarily convoluted. Plus, there were a bunch of random encounters that seem like they were supposed to be a big deal, but were super rushed. So, a bit of a disappointment there. Overall, this was an enjoyable series. But, there are times that I felt like it stumbled and became inconsistent towards the end. So, in my opinion, it was good but it could've been better. |

 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| I will prefer to ignore the existence of the last four episodes, which not only were not really necessary, but were not even well executed with that ridiculous speed at which the events were shown, since everything that happened previously until the defeat of Creed was truly great material that didn't deserve to be ruined by terrible decisions afterward. |
| Not a fan of this ending at all. I will stick with the manga as the best version of the story, This started out great but got super convoluted near the middle and ending. This anime is not a reflection of the quality of the manga at all. But oh well, I had to watch it for the sake of it. |
