There were alot of twists on this anime for sure.
I think that at the end, maybe Ai saved Alis from being buried and resting in peace or something, what is really annoying me is that they ended it there! It is like a cliffhanger you will never get to the see the resolution of.

It is hard to rate this anime, I was expecting it to be disappointing, and Ai as a MC was underdeveloped for me, since I wanted to like her more, but something felt lacking at her to be a great protagonist, BUT the setting is so original, with good OST and animation, with some really great and surprising twists and resolutions, that despite its other falts like being a bit too rushed, despite them, it still deserves a 9, and low 9, but still damm.
That was so refreshing.


EDIT:
I think I have found the explanation to the final, at least makes everything more coesive.

"Due to Alice being dead and his body having been buried by a gravekeeper and thus not being bound to the sealed city like the rest of his classmates, he has a physical form outside the sealed city, unlike Dee, who is forced to take a ghostly form. He is saved at the end of the anime series by Ai, who wished she could save him from perishing. He grows close to Ai over the course of the series, encouraging her in her goal to save the world."
(taken from the wikipedia)

So I guess Ai made a wish to save him, for a god that abandoned the world, he surely is a naughty one, fooling people around, grating those wishes, when it was supposed of him to be ignoring the world he abandoned.

Anime covered the first 5 LN volumes.
On this page you can find the summary to vol 9, which is the end of the LN.

Plot twists at the end are a delicate subject. If handled carefully like in code geass they can be good. Since this was a separate arc of this anime at the end it wasn't bad at all. I've rather enjoyed the most scenes.

Overall a 7/10 I would say. Mostly because nice ost and art. Story was okay. I would watch more episodes but jeah madhouse and second seasons..
So the ending was a big twist, thats ok with me. BUT what pisses me of is the fact that they had multiple chances to make the story better.
Like simply showing ai and alice together with dee when yuri and scar came. Then the "you had to safe me" ending would be ok.
Or hinting a bit that alice could have been the cause.
The way they evacuated the city was weird, 36.000 people from the outside lived there. Ok. But they had to go trough a door? I mean. Probably not everybody made it in time. What happened to them? They should automatically go to the real world when the white fog comes imo.

I still cant accept that hampnie died after 3 eps. I wanted him to stay around longer and then die in the end and give ai her chara developement. Well ok anime is over. I probably will never rewatch this unless im forced to.

Ai ended up saving Alice, but how? There logic behind his saving is vague. The whole story of the class didn't make sense, how come when Dee went out with Alice to the real world was a ghost if he was the one who died. The writer just twisted the story for the sake of shock in the end.

Yuri and Scar were useless in this situation and sometimes I question their value to the story and also I wish Ai's father never kicked so soon.
I still though have numerous questions about his death considering he was immortal.
And also isn't Ai a gravekeeper? She never portrayed that task in the series even if she was half of it, I still question her capabilities as an MC.
The series was just that a series and nothing else, because it never served any major purpose.

So its a 6/10 but be willing to give the next season a chance

Wow
This anime is really amazing
I felt like I've found a hidden gem
The story is amazing and the osts are great
Although it's impossible, a second season would be really amazing

Damn the ost really sells the emotional scenes in this anime. Best thing about it honestly. I'm disappointed cause there was a fuckton of potential in this anime, but it kinda floundered around like the writers didn't know what they wanted to do with this interesting world they created. The ending was so abrupt too. I'm guessing Ai wished Alis back to life against his will, which takes away all the emotional impact the episode spent the whole time building up. Not to mention it's a fucking cliffhanger honestly.

Such a waste. Anime could've been amazing but it ended up being meh.

I was understanding the plot at the beginning of the anime, but as it went on it started getting a bit confusing in certain parts. There are a lot of unanswered questions and mysteries regarding the universe the anime takes place in.

This last episode was pretty good. I almost teared up a bit at the end, but of course Alice came back lmao. With the sad ending theme blasting and the way the scene played out, I thought my dude was gone for good. The themes of dreams, prayers and wishes are essential to the show, so I guess it does make sense that Alice came back to life and it's not just a random asspull.

Interesting and decent anime. Would've given it a higher rating if it had not felt so rushed, and if the MC was a little less annoying. 6/10.

Came back after a youtube recap that went to episode 3
Then read a comment there was more after ep 3 and drew a blank
So rewatched to the end and recalled why it was good :)

The mysteries of life and death are complex, what happens if we all are dead and die a natural life only to be reborn, the complexities of immortality in a world forsaken gives rise to the question what is the new world and what is the correct answer.

A world of immortal dead, with no more living
A world frozen in time, a memory on a recurring loop to hide the pain of a lost one
Or a miracle across the ages to bring back those we care about to the living.

The series looks at various possibilities and leaves us with an ending that implies a saving world is one where miracles occur, reviving Alice is one such outcome. Whether it is for love or regrets Ai brought about a new miracle proving one can replace another and leaves us with a question of if their dream is to save the world then maybe just maybe Miracles will happen.

Overall a good rewatch from a reincarnation perspective, one could argue this is an anti-isekai there are no more worlds, they have been filled, reincarnation abolished, only the miracles can create and destroy. However even in this godless world there are answers that can be achieved.

Please my God tell me what should I do?

The first part of the anime still made me confuse, why her mother buried if the villagers is dead people ? and why the father suddenly dead when he is immortal? He survived when he exploded by a grenade, the first part supposedly to be sad but i don't feel it at all cause I'm to confuse about the plot (the first part exactly), but it's was completely good story after the first part and enjoying watching it

This was an experience, the plot barely advances in these 12 episodes and so many things just happen out of nowhere, but I enjoyed the hell out of this.

Alice finally became more likeable at the end, but his sacrifice was ultimately avoided anyway, with Ai's wish. I do wish this anime stuck true to its original premise more, or more comprehensively set up the various events of the plot, so as to maximise their impact on the viewer. Concepts like the "half-dead syndrome" had a lot of potential for facilitating immersive, emotional developments, but were merely informed elements of the story that were never really demonstrated in-universe.
