So it ended with a generic fight that tried to make itself look cool.

Man, this show was a mess. I thought it had potential with its premise at first but it came down as a poorly written story. Mina got way too much screen time in this anime imo even from this finale.

The battle itself concluded but I felt it was underwhelming. Victor's parents are gone now too. RIP. I'll probably forget this show easily.

Pretty bad finale. The fight against Aiks was so boring. They were able to defeat him though. He's still alive somewhere. Figured Victor was going to come back alive. This was truly a terrible show. It started off okay, but it went downhill fast. Mina is very annoying. 2/10

The final episode was good imo. The fight was nothing special. Can someone tell me when will the soundtrack be released?

I liked the last arc while i didnt like any episodes prior to that, Victor's past revelations and him accepting his past and apologizing to his mother and overall lots of good family scenes, really feels like author has some experience with family stuff because of how real it felt, on the other hand fights were just straight up stupid is the best way i can word it, but he did try for sure. There is a lot of effort in the anime, since its his only work, the story and fights do fall flat a lot of times but still the effort and the idea was there...

Also some comedy parts were just a bit over the top.... pasta through nose, come on man >_< and overusing the joke again and again too lol. Mina is the best character along with Victor, but all 4 were fine to be honest. Glad hearing Kugumiya Rie voicing Mina.

Anyway im glad i ended up liking this anime in the end, i also really liked OP and ED and some osts... well thats Project 9 for ya, a great studio in sound department...

Honestly felt like the fight in the first episode was more interesting than the last one. The plot point of Mina being Kiri's mother feels like an after thought, maybe being super rushed at best. Most of the characters weren't all that great, though I kinda liked Blaze's simple-minded, earnest goodwill. Series had a promising first couple episodes, but I wouldn't call it anything more than average at this point. 5/10

5/10, can't say I enjoyed, just sat through for thoughtless time-killing. I feel no need for a second season, though the show teases the possibility.

So overall ill give it 7... to hell with it, 8/10!

Oh my godness! I thought I was the only one feel so annoying towards Mina. Gosh, I seriously wish Kiri is not their son or something.

Why should naked soul return to the fallen clothes? loL
Some first jokes were good and some other were lame.
Victor childhood city part was better than previous parts but most annoying ones are Mina and Blaze specially Mina's voice
Best part were music.

The battle seems common and no hype at all, and the story left hanging with really small chances for getting next season(seeing the rating).

Despite lack of some aspect, i still love it
one of the reason for me is the time aspect and abilities( i like this kind of thing)
the plot itself is great IMO, and actually i curious with victo,mina,kiri past as a family and the reason victo and mina became like that.

Yeah with the current rating in this series, it seems i need to read manga/manhua.

Still, it just my opinion and for me, i really enjoyed it

The family theme was good, and wrapping friendship-is-power is bearable.
Tactics, some fights, and the art were pretty good. But animation & pacing, esp this final fight felt so boring I had to speedup during the talk-battle.
Ehhhhh? So Aiks alive, didn't spit out all Victo's time... ok.

Would it have killed the show to have Kiri and Victo hug?

The comedy bites were corny and out of place. The story had potential, but it didn't translate well. It felt like they were trying way too hard instead of having things flow organically. The fights were boring and the characters were something else.

Throughout the show I just felt sorry for Kiri. His parents treat him like crapshoot when all he does is try to protect them. I don't get it. Especially coming from Mina. It's almost like she resents him for taking Victo away which is illogical. At least Kiri has Blaze.

I expected more, so maybe that's why I'm feeling a bit disappointed by all this.

It's a "not bad" for me but could use a lot of improvement. I guess coming in with no expectations was a good idea. I do admit some episodes were pretty unentertaining and had me constantly checking the time until it ended.
I quite like the idea of a family fighting and doing stuff together in an action show.

This was fairly average, but had it's charm. I could've seen it turn into a somewhat long running shounen & doing fairly well with this being a small starting arc. Also, I think they could've done better on removing Blaze from the show and using the extra time to focus more on the other characters, since they were a family & all. Blaze felt so extra after a while.

I think fights and design of the attacks was really poor comparing to the early episodes. And my question is he wanted to go back at the first place but he couldn't, suddenly after a parental lesson he resurrected ?!!!!
Storyline was poor as well as everything else they just could add ep13 to ep12 and then take one good episode out of it. Despite of episode 8 these 2 episodes were really poormade .

This ending was predictable and underwhelming. It was sure that he survived to the fight.
I expected something better with this anime, the story could have been interesting if Blaze was not here.
Except for Victor, all the characters were so empty. It's too bad because the first episodes were interesting and then, they were all useless (except for the 12th).

Nice ending song:).

Victor's plan has not worked but he can just come back ??? (very cheap...)

hm, actually I don't like any of the characters (everything feels very superficial)

I had hoped for more. Especially the story was not as good as I expected.
The potential of "time travel" in relation to the family situation has not been exhausted. But the story does not seem to be finished yet, maybe this would be more interesting in the next season).


4/10 for this season.

It was alright I guess. I really liked the concept that revolves around regrets of the past. I mean it almost made me feel emotional when I was watching Victor's interaction with his family. It's like you never value something until it's gone. I also like Kiri and Victor's bonding and the humor in this show especially the pasta jokes. Hope it gets a sequel because it has the potential even if the story and characters were weak. 6/10

It was so cute the father and son scene, now I can say that this anime was worth watching.

Mina ruined the whole show though, with her "darling!" It was Sooooooo annoying, I definitely hate these kind of characters. I just remembered louise from "the familiar of zero" I hate her.

Damn it, this is indeed a mediocre adaptation. It makes me think the manga was still better.
(Well, not that the manga was that special but at least it's fine to me.)
Anyway, I'm gonna rate this anime a 6 out of 10 score overall.

*reads topic*

Imagine dissing the tsundere jo'ou-sama herself, teh Kugyu.

Also, unlike most people, Mina's my favourite. And this is before I know that my <3 Kugu voices her.

Kiri is generally one-dimension. In fact, I think the anime wimpified him a bit, even if the changes made more sense(in the source, it was Blaze that came to Victor's resuce while Kiri was fighting the old guy. So everything Kiri did was actually Blaze's, including the fact that the stoic guy shows fear)

Blaze is one-dimension. Wants to be evil, but is part of the good guy faction, shows no signs of betrayal and things.

Victor...verdict's not out on him yet.

Both the original source and anime did not change my stance on Mina: she's the most interesting character in the series. She is the one I am really curious about.

And her design helps. (god, she's sexy). And she uses wind powers in interesting ways.

On topic, I've read the comic up till the equivalent of eps 12, so everything in this is more or less new to me.

This show overall reminds me abit of the Trinity Seven anime: interesting premise, but the execution seems very weak and do not leave much of an impact.

Scenes I found exciting in the comic were just....there....in the anime.

Chronos Ruler is the type of anime that the detainees in Guantanamo Bay are forced to watch. It's rather ironic that a story who's central focus is driven by time proves to be such a waste of it. It dragged on with no point or likeable characters, and whimpers out like a small, dying rat with this phoned in, archetypical final story. If there's a manga that succeeds this, I will hunt down every copy and burn them.
