| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Pretty much the final showdown between Licht and Doan. They had this set up for awhile and decided to also throw in some psychological elements into the finale. Those Oni masks... Fight itself was kinda underwhelming if you ask me especially for a final episode. Looks like fan service returns in the finale with Hina teasing the hell out of Licht. I face palmed hard. This show is such a weird one this year. |
 |
| Anime-original ending...welp, but yeah. Dead but not dead, Licht's mind death continues to be scarred by the masks of Class 1-A, the "Army that does not kill" to a massacre. Nonetheless, Hina still chooses to place her trust that Licht would revive and stop Doan in his tracks...to be "My Ace". And destroy the perception of death and pursue confidence he did, to carry on Class 1-A's dream. The dream that only him and Doan could perform 300 years ago, is finally shattered, and Doan admits defeat, passing Hina the 2nd of stolen Original Ballots (which mean that Hina has 2 now), to which Captain Alan has 3 on hand. Well, glad that Lynn has awoken, but the dream of her confession (that turned into a dump) to Licht was a reality. And also, Jail's confession to young Nana 300 years ago, she has not forgotten. For Pele, Licht's information about him, yup...he's an Ace all along. LOLs at Lynn trying to win Pele's heart instead that's full on fanservice. But instead, as depicting of a sergeant towards a sergeant major, he deeply cares for her wellbeing. To the end, fanservice is fanservice, and Hina is more daring than Licht after him declaring his love to her. Was laughing damn hard for the teasing though. The real threat being the Original Ballots, Licht and the others still have a long way to go to resucing people from the clutches of Alcia, Major Schmerman and their plan to acquire all 7 Ballots. At least this was a decent ending, and welp the characters from Chapter 38 are back as cameos and nothing. The 2nd half made it better, but overall, not as weird as I'm imagine it out to be. |

| That boy jail smooth af https://imgur.com/a/Fq9NkP0 Man, I really appreciate the fact that the writing in this series is so aware of potential potholes and problems with the story and tries to fill them wherever possible. I never even thought about the fact that Licht automatically assume Pele would be able to heal Lynne. Now that I think about it, his calmness with a gun was also a giveaway. There’s a lot more to his story that we’ve yet to learn Always good to get some more lighthearted moments after the rather dark second half of the show. I’m really gonna miss this series https://imgur.com/a/xCBQULR Hopefully we get a season 2 as those silhouettes at the end seem to suggest the other members of the class are still alive or cloned or something, either way I’m hype and optimistic for the future of this series. Definitely one of my faves of the year. |
 |
| I really hope they will NOT make a season two, cause this one already felt like a trainwreck. I should have guessed that a noname studio will perform bad, but THIS bad? Oh well. |
| Glad this shit anime adaptation is finally over. Anyone who still liked this anime I recommend reading the manga from start. |
 |
| Fuck this show, that's all I have to say. I don't like the manga much, but what a fucking bore this was, bad visuals and presentation to mix in an awful story = trainwreck. Atleast the manga had good art. |

| This anime wasn't the best in terms of story but was great for the ecchi, I enjoyed it overall. |
 |
| Not a good anime at all, normally I'd give this a 2 or 3 but it has those moments of genius that makes just think "what if" regarding this The bad: Pft, almost everything. Hina is a godawful FMC and literally does nothing that only she could do throughout the show, and no, the boobs grab and 300-year-old promise doesn't count. The music was surprisingly dull and even bad during some fights, something that I rarely see in anime. I don't need to talk about the animation, which was an atrocity. But the good parts that made me stick to it: The worldbuilding is great! The best part of this show was the whole "back in time" arc because it showed us how everything started. I also loved how all the "the army that doesn't kill" stuff was handled because for once, the whole friendship prevails shit didn't work. Licht story was tragic although I still don't like him Jail was awesome and so was Nana. Doan would've been a great character if only the "bully Doan" didn't seem like an entirely different character. 4/10, horrible anime but the pros were actually really good so I still stuck with it. |
 |
| The whole series was kind of letdown... This of course means that a few first episodes, and bits here and there, gave hope of a better series and plot... but no. As all anime plots are eventually the same (when one keeps watching them every year...), with this one it really hits the "seen the same thing as better already" mark. |
| Complete waste of time for a series. One of the trashiest shows I regret watching....curse you no dropped series streak... |
| I love the stuff in this, but disliked the pointless ecchi here or there. At least it made sense in some areas, like near the end. But in other cases, by god lmao. Dunno if I'd want a season two or not, was a hit or miss show for me. Loved the idea/plot. But fell off in some areas. |
| i guess im glad im not the only but i really hope there is NO season 2 despite the ending setting things up. the first few episodes were fine and tolerable but damn the rest was no bueno. all the characters from that point gotten completely dumb and annoying. the visuals gotten worse as time goes on (pandemic or not), Doan is an annoyingly ugly and stupid design, and my biggest gripe (tho a minor nitpick to some) is the annoying over-emphasis on the sound effects that hurts my ears. |
| It was okay, I suppose, as someone with no knowledge prior with its source material. Plunderer started off incredibly slow, and left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths from I'm aware with how much of an emphasis there was on ecchi with Licht's perverted antics. Didn't mind it personally, but that twist to the story was what it really ended up needing since it lacked direction. I really appreciated the origins of the Aces, and really thought the unexpected use of time travel to propel the story and its characters forward was pretty clever. Having that said though, I feel like the characters had a lot of wasted potential still. Sympathizing for Licht and his class is one thing, but caring is another. The story didn't really leave you with a solid reason to care for most of them. Then there were the others like Hina, Lynn, and Pele who were pretty much there to tag along for the ride. Hina didn't make much for a heroine to the audience as she did to Licht. On the other hand, Jail was without a doubt the best character of the show. To see him grow, further his resolve, interact in an interesting way with the others, and just do lots of cool things. I often found myself rooting for him more than the actual protagonist of the anime. The ending itself was meh. Very anticlimactic definitely, and I really didn't get the dynamic going on with Doan and Licht. Before you knew it, they were finished fighting and the conflict was over. All it made me want to do was boot up Majora's Mask seeing those masks all floating around like that lol. 6/10 I could see this still having lots of potential. Reading these comments though, I know that this adaptation wasn't very faithful, so who knows? It was an interesting experience to say the least. |

| So in order to escape a bottomless pit he has a psychological epiphany, okay I'm good with that. He then gets his sword to glow which triggers his Noble Phantasm which lets him escape, okay what? We then get an underwhelming boss battle followed up by a lot fanservice and random moments such as the villagers randomly showing up. I wish Pele confessed to Lynn and I liked how Jail and Nana admitted that there's some feelings there for each other. Hina and Licht's moment was....awkward. Like the last few episodes, Sonohara is just there. I think the most important thing we saw was that Pele may have been an SSU member from the start and that Class A members may still be alive. Honestly, if the fanservice and random moments were eliminated from this episode this would have been a decent finale. I wish the pacing of this show in the first half wasn't so slow and there weren't a lot of useless fanservice moments. The second half was an improvement but the random happenings and fanservice hurt the momentum of the show while watching it imo. This show had plenty of potential but the execution could have been much better. |
 |
| I couldn't help but lol at Hina "attacking" Licht at the end. This "ending" seems like a set up for another season but seems like most other people wouldn't want this to go further? I do admit personally I put this on hold in the middle for a good month or so because of the running ecchi gag but am glad I got back to watching it eventually while it was still airing. (Though this series overall is not memorable...except that the "quest for the rest of the original ballots" is such a lame nod to "quest to collect all the dragon balls" ) |
:3 |
| Honestly, I didn't like this anime :/ The story is terrible from 1st half, the 300 years arc was good, but at the end it went bad again X_X My score: 5/10 LoL look at the students from 300 years ago at the end! I need some good explanation about that because without a second season (I'm not prepared...) or OVA, that will be completely meanless! No sense at all! |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| Another example of a series getting horribly adapted. There's no hope for season 2 as they finished off with an original ending |
| You know what? I enjoyed this more than Tower of God. Will be a 6/10 for me |
 |
| I want to watch Season 2 now. I want to see how they undo Alcia and build a new Country / rebuilt Earth. |
| Unlike most, I liked this a lot. Got a glimpse of the clones at the end. Damn I want another season. |

| The way the Rihito vs Douan fight in this episode handled was anticlimactic (Definitely one of the worst fight ever I had seen). I couldn't believe there's anime being worse than Index III and OPM2 in both adaptation and production wise. What's the point of even extended the whole damn fight into 3 episodes long (Especially with that bullshit asspull black hole from previous episode), when they could just keep the fight to only 5 to 8 minutes long (Since the fight is quietly short in the manga) and follow exactly like how the manga was portrayed. If you removed that black hole scenes from previous episode the "dream" world scenes from the beginning, nothing would lose and the pacing feel sightly more neutral in this way. Glad to see the "Class A" appeared in the end of the episode, but why the hell they skipped this scene? They couldn't even built the stuffs for potential Season 2 properly (Assuming if the anime ever receive a S2), and all they did is just mentioned the Wall of Paradise's name once in a random episode (Yeah, the whole assassinate stuffs at the end of episode is important to S2, but so was the wall too): I also have no idea why the the anime skipped this scene and changed it to Nana talking with Jail instead. Oh well, at least this changes showed more hint on Nana's feeling than in the manga does: It would be more funnier if the anime also adapted this scene as well lol: They completely changed the conversation about the Althing in near the end of the episode, I know they doing this just to give the anime a "proper" ending but still it would be better if they keep the scenes untouched. Overall, I would give the Plunderer anime a 4/10. While compared to other bad adaptations (Negima/UQ Holder, Rosario Vampire etc), Plunderer overall wasn't that bad but it's still below average. if not because there's some stuffs I do really enjoyed I would give it 3/10 instead. deaf_amish_guy said: Where should I start the manga after episode 24 tho?? Chapter 37. Although I would suggest you to read the manga from the beginning, if you don't want to read from the beginning then you could try to starts it from Chapter 12 instead (Since the time travel arc in the anime was so different and rushed). |

Thank you for including these. It makes so much more sense on why the villagers knew Lynn was in trouble and why Class A was shown at the end. |

Agreed but you mentioned the Wall of Paradise which maybe might have been a reason they were alive? Even if it doesn't, it adds another angle to the story aside from looking for the 7 dragon balls er I mean ballots. |
|
| Just here to say i'm amazed that this shit show currently has a MAL rating of 6.48(should have been 4.01), just another display of MAL rating doesn't mean shit! Anyhow what a mess of a show, brain cells melting left and right when fast forwarding towards the end, happy it's over.. 3/10. Second season no thanks! How anyone can like this?, to many brain cells must have melted i'm afraid. |
RiceKnight59 said: Agreed but you mentioned the Wall of Paradise which maybe might have been a reason they were alive? Well your guess is half-correct but not entirely true, the "Class A" is still "alive" for other reason tho lol. RiceKnight59 said: aside from looking for the 7 dragon balls er I mean ballots. Lol |
| 3/10 trash. has some okay moments but still trash |

| Watashi wa a victim of cyberbullying. Everyday someone online calls me a "weeb" desu. Watashi won't stand for this. 26 percent of bullying victims are chosen due to their race or religion desu. I may look like a basic white boy, but deep down I am Nihongo desu. Watashi religion is anime. Anata wa bullying me because of my race and religion desu ka? Disgusting desu. Anata should be ashamed of yourself, racist pig. A baka gaijin like anata is probably jealous of my race and culture, cause Nippon is more sugoi than your shitty country desu. Watashi pity anata. You'll never be Nihongo like watashi. Educate yourself on nani a "weeb" is. |
| They gave me a full 24! Now I need the rest. I feel the story is just getting started! Quick edit: not sure why people posting negative stuff. If you watched it up to eps 24 and didnt like it, you are either sadists or people with hate filled souls and probably been consumed by your own count. |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Thank god it's over. Worst show I've compleated this year. Even if you disregard the awful animation, poor comedy and laughable fight scenes the story was just nonsense. No second season please and if there is I'm not watching it. 3/10 |
| Wlep that's that, it's back to the manga for the finale, whenever that will be. |

Like I would see completely different (much better) story. but at least in black hole scene they remembered to include extra one baron mask, so I can appreciate foreshadowing like that, I can imagine if this part was canon this mask would also show up in manga. Roch2001 said: not sure why people posting negative stuff.

YES but honestly it is good question and in the same time very complicated/individual question to which even being on both sides of the "barricade" I still don't know answer. Without counting those who review anime for a living or/and passion. That's why I simplify this way of thinking to "If I regret watching something?" and personally even with a score 4/10 I don't regret watching Plunderer. |

I will admit there's some stuffs about the manga that I don't like, but at least reading the manga would gives you much better experience than watching the anime which skipped some (important) details like Rihito using two different swords. Nieznajomy43 said: but at least in black hole scene they remembered to include extra one baron mask, so I can appreciate foreshadowing like that, I can imagine if this part was canon this mask would also show up in manga. Sure that they do showed the remaining one mask on the scene rather than simply left out. Still, if they do included the line that Rihito doesn't know who's the last Baron in that filler scene then I might ignore it's flaws and I won't complains about it. That scene should be the prefect place to inform us about that since the anime skipped Nana's explanation before, and yet they didn't do it and was ignored (That mask doesn't even talk in the entire scene). I can't imagine how many people will complains about Rihito and other people doesn't know last Baron's true identity when he revealed himself in Season 2. |
| Underrated anime. hopefully we get a s2 |
 |
| After this episode I am down for a season 2. I am curious about Licht's classmates being there at the end. Clones or the real thing? Guess we'll have to read the manga to find out. I thought Plunderer was good enough to watch every week. It kept me entertained. 7/10 |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Winter 2525 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| Hmmm, after watching Ep 24... is there going to be season 2 for this anime? |
| Have Great Day =) Animekid3  |
on 
| I really enjoyed the series and I think this episode is the perfect ending to season 1. I know some people won't agree but I think expectations is what really effects your enjoyment. If you come in wanting a battle shonen then you are in the wrong place. I must admit that is what I was looking for when I started but what this series really is a Romantic Comedy with action mixed in. If you view it like that this ending makes a lot more sense. Anyways I hope we will get a season 2 even though I kinda doubt we will get one. |
| Wow this turned out to be a dumpster of anime. |
 |
| This anime was ok, not good but not terrible either. I want to know more about Pele. With that ending I'm gonna need a second season. Although this anime wasn't too good |
 Kyoto Animation rocks |
| This anime is bad, really bad... |

| “SAITO! YOU NEED TO EXPLODE! FOR THE WORLD’S SAKE!” |
| Ah I wish Jail was main character instead of Licht because somehow watching Licht and Hina was pretty boring other characters were much better. Well since it's end I can say the best part of anime was when they went 300 years back in time rest were little not interesting and whole things with "stronger number is strongest" is pretty messed up when 5700 can beat 120k enemy and 1 number easily beat 32k.... It could be good anime because idea was really good but 2 MC I mentioned and plot were really messed up, not interesting and could be done much better. (hope it was just anime and original source was made much better). In sum 6/10 thanks to travel back in time rest were 3/10 max. |
