2/5 for the finale

Please tell me the post credits scene was just a teaser to get people interested in the source material... this show was way too rushed to have a split cour and way too shit to get a sequel right?

It's more likely that it was a PV for S2, well, not yet confirmed though.

I thought one season was enough suffering for everyone, and they'll do a 2nd one? The way they handle things, it will need like 25458269853215 seasons (all rushed) to wrap things up.

Bad ending for a bad anime, and here I had my hopes up, as I like the manga.

The bullshit tram has reached its final stop without being nearly as entertaining as Big Order's bullshit express. I can't say this started good and ended bad, it was more like it started troubled but could grow from there and instead ended up down the mine without Gordon being around to bail it out, with the quality of the series being able to be graphed using the formula y = a/x.




Sorry I've been doing homework while listening to Thomas the Tank Engine music and those are the only two things that are coursing through my brain right now

5/10 show, had promise at the start but was just a complete train wreck

The way that episode ended is trying to tell us this is going to get a second season?

This was a pretty cool show. It started off with direction, decent pacing, and some pretty cool action scenes...and then about a quarter to halfway through the staff pretty much had an oh shit moment and just zipped through as much shit as they could.

End result was a decent watch but nothing special bc it just turned into a typical pit fall of "shit is happening"

Big order syndrome here is not an unfair assessment. This was significantly more enjoyable to watch however.

Best way to describe this show is wasted potential. Started off solid, then it went off the rails at a speeding train's pace, with some pretty awful transitions. That being, said, it had it's good moments so I can't say I wasn't entertained.

Forget 2-cours, I could've seen this spread out even throughout 2 cours then another one, especially with the time skip & all.

Take your season 2 teaser and shove it J.C Staff!

I don't remember the last time I've seen a final battle this boring. Anyone who thinks this was a good way to end series ought to be tied down with their eyes taped open whilst being forced to watch Gurren Lagann vs the Anti-Spiral a thousand times over. Now that's how you do an epic clash of contradictory ideals between two hulking monstrosities,

One of the biggest trainwrecks I've ever watched. The story makes no fucking sense, the characters are all forgettable and/or irritating, and it had no idea if it wanted to be taken seriously or not. The only reason it's not getting a 1 is because it started out mediocre and not totally shit like Big Order. But I actually knew this was going to be a trainwreck from the day I saw it on anichart, so in that regard it met my expectations. Doesn't make it any better though.

During episode:
................................................................................................

When credits rolled:
-Well, As expected Seigi beat Arya cause of some Deus ex Machina which I wasn't bothered to listen to.
-Tamaki and Tom lived, Well there was something good.
-USA USA? XD

When epilogue started:
-Wonder what this is
-NO NO NO NO, NO 2nd season please NO, Just NO!

Overall, Taboo Tattoo started decently, The fights were what attracted me in the beginning and as it turns out that's all the series ever had going for it. Show became progressively worse each episode eventually dissolving into a complete train-wreck with a nonsensical plot and Random fast paced transitions, Didn't care for most of the characters save for Arya, Cal, Tom and Tamaki. Till the end I had no clue how the whole Tattoo thing worked, Maybe I should have payed more attention but I wasn't really willing to do that. Zero emotional investment on my part, Most of my enjoyment of the show came at me laughing at it save for some of the fight scenes and the fan service, especially the service with Arya.

5/10, Please do not announce a 2nd season.


Same thoughts as yours.

I thought this would be my favorite anime this season after watching the 1st 2 episodes but then it gradually drops down to my list until it became my least favorite this season.

4/10 for me.
The only good thing about this anime is the good animation perhaps.

Unintelligible.

@footmaster: It had good animation to start with, and I appreciate that the giant monsters this episode were actually drawn (at least partly I think, maybe?), but it's mostly average or less. They cut a lot of frames in the action sequences, making it look super choppy.

Lol what an ending. Though I'm fine with cliched stuff like this. Will prefer it over sad and melancholic ending any day.

Holy shit! Tamaki actually got past of those death flags! Fucking 10/10

So... I know Izzy loves BB. But can I hope to root for Seigi x Izzy? :D

The show started interesting and strong up until starting episodes. After that, it became so bad with the terrible pacing, awful timed comedy and ridiculous plot. It could've done much better actually.

Despite all that, I enjoyed watching it. Why? All because of hawt grills and fan service of course :^)
Tho I wasn't that much comfortable with gore aspect in it.

And did they really teased the sequel? lol I wouldn't mind watching it.
It was decent watch overall. 6/10

Everybody is all hung up on that "USA USA USA USA" moment

And I'm sitting here thinking what the fuck even was that ending? Holy shit. I've seen some bad endings, but I don't think I've ever had one so bad it left me laughing uncontrollably.

Like, they teased all these big fights and then some final showdown in the arctic, without even showing anything and without any season 2 announcement.

Just like: "hey guys, Seigi wears a sweater and fights some Arya sisters, then they have a final showdown in some snow crater. Just thought you should know".

I'm surprised Tamaki survived after all the death flags.

The US Soldiers chanting "USA USA USA!" after having been so useless. Practically the entire series(with the exception of bb) was hilarious.

The only good thing in this show was the opening, ending and BB. Everything else was bad. With an ending like that I hope it's just advertising the manga and not hinting at another season.

The biggest disappointment of the season.

Yes, finally i can finish this show.. It had a potential, the first episode was good.. but it went downhill every episode.. Though i like the artstyle and the jokes were okay (especially when Tom making jokes.. not the fanservice jokes because it looks awful and out of place lol) but they can't help to make the anime better.

4/10 *the lowest score in my list so far :/

Lmao this was easily a 10/10 episode. So bad that it's so good, the blatant mocking of america, the power of friendship trope, tamaki talking about protagonists and them just generally breaking the 4th wall all the time had me laughing so hard (like when the glasses guy was like "Tamaki? You're alive? No way!" because he said EXACTLY what I was thinking lol.. not only that but tamaki coming up from under the rubble like he did was just too much..

When those dudes busted out in a USA chant I literally ROFL'd.

I don't know why everyone's saying the monster fight was CGI. They were actually 100% hand-drawn in this episode. TBH they probably would've looked less shitty if they were CGI.

Indistinct outlines on huge, darkly colored creatures makes for an extremely unreadable mess. Then you had that pathetic scene where they both looped the same punching animation for like 15 seconds.

Anyway 1/10 show. Almost gave it a 2/10 because the opening act was decent and Izzy was funny in the first episode, but no. Stupid plot was stupid. Dumb ending was dumb. Shit show was shit.

Glad that's finally over. The only good thing about this show was Tamaki surviving against all the death flags.

I couldn't believe that epilogue. It almost seemed like they were parodying themselves by taking the ridiculous nonsense to a new level. If it somehow gets a second season I won't bother, but if they release just some ridiculous OVA I'll watch that just to see what craziness happens.

I started this series on a whim. I started it a little late too, so I was able to hear both good and bad things about it. So I thought, why the hell not? The only thing this series ended up being good for was some list padding. The story made no sense and the comedy was bad. Though, part of the reason I didn't understand/like the story may be because I avoid military series like the plague usually. As for this last episode, it also made no sense and I hope this doesn't get a second season like that last scene seemed to tease. Tamaki surviving was the only good thing in this episode.

I liked it. I understand it wasn't a masterpiece but taking a show with crazy amounts of action, some comedy and some fan service is something i can get behind.

Yeah the story really made no sense but they made up for it with great animation and hardcore fights. Though we never found out what happened to that Chick and Snakes guy after Tamaki punched them into the mountain. Oh well.

I'll give it a 6/10 honestly I wouldn't mind a season two. it would be better then anything Index they make.

Tamaki, against all the odds, was able to beat all the death flags that came at him and survived! 10/10! =D

........apart from that, the finale sums up the show in a nutshell. A show that started out decently, but became a trainwreck over and over again.

Honestly, I couldn't tell if the final fight was 2D, 3D or a poisonous cocktail of both. The art reminded okay, but the animation was as sloppy and stutter prone as Rewrite. You can do better than this J.C, seriously. -__-

It's a shame that the princess retreated at the last second. I really wanted Seigi to land his fist right into her face to finish her off.

Overall, I was expecting this show to be decent with it's premise and characters, but it failed there too. The story felt dragged and most of the enemies were OP and WAAAY too fucking smug for my liking.

Lastly, I doubt there'll be a second season, despite having a 'PV' after the credits. It's J.C tempting us to read the manga to find out what happens next, but after watching this show, I think i'll pass on that.

4/10 and my lowest rating to any T.V show. It would've been a 5/10 if Seigi was able to punch the bitch Arya in the face successfully.
