 Not gonna lie, this is one of the animes that’ll never leave my mind and will make me continuously wish for more seasons and stories for. Until we meet again Deca-dence...  |
| i almost thought Deca-dence would become full mecha when Boss was gathering parts. anyway, i liked it. for an original, they played it safe and went with telling stuff that they think was important...even if they end up ignoring some things that could help character development (the purple haired bitch and the more with the friend for example). either way, 12 is a almost perfect for this (had they left out some glaring stuff) and 24 wouldve dragged imo. surprised and somewhat glad Kurenai didnt get wasted especially with all the death flags that was planted around her. still sad about Pipe tho. 7/10 |

| A satisfying ending to a good anime... |

| Natsume visualizing the different kinds of Kabu cracks me up lol I shed a tear when Kabu died and then again when I saw he was back. The show likes to play with my heart. Kinda safe ending but I loved it! The only thing that I think it would have made it better was having good boy Pipe back. Like many people, I was about to drop this on the 2nd episode because the whole avatar thing put me off, but I'm so SOOO glad that I didn't! This was a great show! |
 |
| What a nice ending to a real surprise package of the season. Glad I stuck with it from start to finish. Loved every bit. Love how we even got to see the aftermath! Really good stuff. |
| It took me 12 episodes to realize that there are actual Humans in Deca-Dance. I thought all the humans were the freaking Cyborgs! WHAT?? Kabu my boy coming back at the end! though it is a clone so. Overall a whatever series. I gave it an 8/10 |

| Well... poor ending, just like the rest of the show. 4/10 |
| I neither agree nor disagree, on the contrary. |
| And so it ends! A really nice ending for a good show, it was a predictable ending, there wasn't any room for big surprises, I didn't see Kaburagi dying though, that scene was hard to watch, but the last scene after the timeskip showed us what would be Kaburagi's return, so the sadness didn't last long. What started interesting, had a unexpected plot twist, which I didn't like at first, but by the later episodes, by the climax of the anime, it showed us why that early plot-twist was done for. One of the best ones this season, a strong 7.5/10 for me. |
 |
| A good finale to a good show. Deca-dence was really a very unique anime worldbuilding wise and everything was fun to watch, even when things got predictable and cliche. Yuzuru Tachikawa is a very good director, I hope to see more of his original works in the future. Overall 7/10 |

winddevil1 said: well, as much as i hate to admit, i seriously wanted to drop it on episode 2 for obvious reasons, but i decided i wanted to watch more cause i liked the 1st episode... after awhile, the cyborg thing didn't bother me anymore, and it ended up being a very fun anime :D Natsume is easily one of my favorite characters of the season (the main reason i kept watching), and ofc Kabu, Kurenai, Donatello and Jill were also interesting it looked like a real end, i wonder if they plan on doing more, i would gladly watch some more , 8/10 :D I couldn't say it any better myself, cause that's exactly the experience I had with Deca-Dence! |

| Such a great and fun show. I'd love to see a second season. SoraSenpai said: It took me 12 episodes to realize that there are actual Humans in Deca-Dance. I thought all the humans were the freaking Cyborgs! WHAT?? LOL, seriously? *facepalm* |
| Now this was disappointing - and confusing. I believed this shows had subtler points, but in the end all we got were shounen tropes. Even the initial discussions here about whether cyborgs were human or not ended up being irrelevant. And what's with all the plotholes? The only good part was when the system told Kabu he would die in any case and it would survive in any case. (Which proved wrong.) Where did the old system disappear, for example? What about its mission? Why did the revolutionaries get the admin rights so easily? The show didn’t really address the important difference between humans and cyborgs or its implications. Like the cyborgs’ longevity and spare bodies, their technology and their supposedly inhuman mental state vs the desperate postapocalyptic way humans live, the suffering and early death they experienced. The cyborgs didn't care about humans at all at first (they were NPC for them), so why did everyone become friends so easily and why did humans have to live under the rule of cyborgs in the end too? Why did humans not seem to care about being lied to, controlled and killed and about the weird ugly artificial organisms who did it? One of the main themes seemed to be living to the fullest, leaving an impact. But it didn’t reflect in anything besides Kabu persevering in the right moment. What about the gadoll? What they were, why are they peaceful now? They were animal experiements too which is immoral and had to be answered for. What about the artificial bodies and the digital immortality cyborgs have? Could it be extended to humans? Like why don't cyborgs improve the situation for humans with their tech? What will they do without oxyone? What's even their economy, in the end? Also maybe the cyborgs can be considered moe in some way but not to the extent the series tries to push it. What did actually happen with space compression? Or the dome? The system said there was no life outside of it. And it's the same with personalities. Take Minato. Initially he was shown as a very complex individual with his ups and downs – he had plenty of faults – so why was he suddenly in charge in the end? Being the “commander” in the game isn’t the same as running an actual society. He was dismissive towards humans too during the whole series. And there had been a lot of gay shipping between him and Kabu, yet they were too chicken to use the fact that in the end he basically controlled what had become Kabu's body. The way they showed operating Decadance from within sure was lame. And Natsume didn't evolve past a quirky inspiration. Basically the characters simply maintaned the status quo, and the fact that the good outcome was an endless fun fair is almost offensive. Though they showed that Natsume was tired from her service job in an unusually life-like moment in the epilogue, while all the others were happy performing in a circus for some reason. ...This ending felt like a placeholder, in short. It was very immature and rushed. Or maybe the beginning was misleading. I expected more from the juxtaposition of the two worlds, of Mr.Dob-like cyborg aesthetic and their tiring entertainment corporate dystopia, of the humans' role and legacy in all of it. Wtf? Seriously. |

| I truly loved this anime from start to finish. Feel the second half was superb and the ending was great by wrapping everything up. The pipe plushie/keychain end was very well done. The ending honestly had me mark it up to a 9 and I feel many people that dropped it early on (after the episode 2 twist) should definitely pick it back up. Overall, fairly meta-anime that while at first, I did not like the gears/gadoll route, it really grew on me as the show progressed. Natsume and Kabu are probably my favorite protagonists of the season, if not the year. 10/10 would recommend for people to watch! |
 |
| Grand finale! This episode was really good. Entirely, this anime was well made with great pacing and some really beautiful cuts. The direction worked amazingly steady for a one cour original project. Not a masterpiece, but a solid 8 nonetheless. Great job, Nut Studios! Also, probably the best opening of this season. |
| Gotta update this soon™ |
| I really enjoyed watching Deca Dence this season.We need more original anime like this. |
''I was dead serious''  |
| Overall this is a pretty decent show especially because of all the trash lately |
| not sure why this is so lowly rated. an original anime and good ending. Also why the fuck are people saying the ending is bad? LMFAO fuck off. |
 |
| Damn those last seconds really got me in the feels, and natsume looked beautiful. Man twas a great show glad I watched it, I hope to see more in the future. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I feel as if this anime seriously had so much potential. The story could have been stretched out to a 24 ep series. The ending felt rushed. Hopefully we'll see a S2 some day. |
 |
| They wrapped it up nicely, I wasn't expecting an ending like that. It's cool to see the cyborgs and humans living together, a new system, and the old Deca-Dence being turned into something like a theme park. I'm glad Kaburagi is back and Nateume got to see him again. Great story and very well done as an original anime |
   |
| It was one heck of a ride. Kaburagi finally unleashed the limiter to defeat the Gadoll. Deca-dence City looking good after 3 years. At least, the Gadolls that remained are much more lovable and not harmful to humans. Still rip for Pipe tho. Natsume finally reuniting with Kaburagi was lukewarm. It was a good job for the animation studio not seeing his face. Good anime, but it can definitely do better. 8/10 |
 |
| Great episode, made me cry at final scene. 10/10 |
 |
| Damn Natsume hella attractive in the time skip, liked a lot this anime, even tho it has some plot holes, it's good. |
 |
| well that was a decent final ep I guess. At least Kaburagi died the hero....well before he was brought back at the end but whatevs. Overall.......eh. I did love the series in the beginning, but it just became way too shounen-y if that makes sense as it went on. Went from being a neat story about deceiving and rebellion to one about nakama's and going beyond your limits. Characters were ok I guess. Natsume kinda felt quite annoying as the series progressed and Kaburagi was no better. Minato though I actually really liked his character. Too many limit pushings/10 |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| It definitely wasn't a bad ending but it just felt very "happily ever after" ya know |
| Imagine forgetting about such an important backup for three years lol. But anyway pretty good anime. I'd say the twist in episode 2 turned out pretty good in the end. Probably would have been less interesting if it went a more traditional route. So I guess the system was basically like a super advanced self learning AI, so if you change the norms to not be giant monsters attacking ppl and making an mmo out of it you can have peace. |

But did you think Natsume was a player like Kaburagi or thought she was ignorant. Unless its the latter, you my friend, had a very different experience watching this show than me. |

| Great show, I was disappointed by the revelation made during the second episode but it eventually turned out to become a real blast. |
 |
| This series had ups and downs for me, but I really enjoyed the ride, it's nice to have something different from time to time. I don't think I'll ever forget episode 2. |
 |
| What a fantastic end to an overall fun and creative anime with a lot of heart. That last battle was exhilarating. I was kind of expecting Kaburagi to be gone for good, but I'm glad they brought him back, which makes sense considering he's a cyborg and can be backed up like Jill did. I do wish they gave a little more characterization to the supporting characters, especially Kurenai, but the strength of Natsume and Kaburagi as characters more than made up for that. I love how they kind of did a reverse trope on the "main character cuts hair to show self-growth" thing with Natsume's hair being longer at the end (she looks really good with longer hair ngl). The end with Kaburagi walking towards her and her face when she realized who it was brought a tear to my eye. The only thing I'm wondering is how there are still Gadoll if they destroyed the facility that makes them? The cyborgs obviously need them to survive, so did they find another way to produce them? Or breed them naturally? Also what happened to the "system"? Did it get destroyed with Deca-Dence? Either way, it was really nice to see the people rebuilding, making a city from the wreckage, and co-existing with the cyborgs and Gadoll as well. This has been one of the most fun and original anime I've seen come out in a while. I hope we get to see more like this, and personally I'd love to see a bit more from this world. Even an OVA would be nice, but I'm not expecting it. I hope this anime did well so we can get lots of cool merch from it as well. I'd buy up a cool Natsume figure in a heartbeat. |
 |
| Probably just me, but at the last moment Natsume look like some 80s/90s protagonist who about to embark into some kind of epic adventure. |
| . |
| Well that ending was pretty satisfying. |
 |
| Seems Kabu was restored to his main avatar making it it's real body instead of his real body. I was hoping for a 2nd season but oh well.. still, I've been thinking for a word for a few minutes to describe the ending the best but I know I suck with words, I think I'll just say it was a pretty good ending, one of the best I've seen in a while. But hey, what if the new system got out of control?! huehuehuehuehue SEASON 2 NOW!!! This anime should be re-titled Kabu-Dence. Donatello was a true madlad. Natsume best character. THE FINAL SCORE IS A TOTAL JOKE. 9/10 |
| Deca-dence is really one of the better shows this season. What a fun and enjoyable 12 episode ride. Even if most of the actions/events are predictable and cliche, I still really liked the series as a whole. 7/10 for me. Good job Studio Nut! Really looking forward to your future works :) Farabeuf said: I think a lot of anime directors/writers could sit down and watch this last episode. That's how you do an ending people This ^^ The finale was definitely great and satisfying. It doesn't feel rushed and really well directed too. |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| well i'm sure glad this show turned out to not be a dud in the end i knew with the early twist so many people got turned off from this dark horse of the season while the ending arc was on the cilche side of things that's fine i'm totally happy with a coexistence happy ending even if i was expecting more of a bittersweet one it was still very satisfying in it's own way solid 8/10 for being so burned on pass anime originals getting one that manages to come out as one of the better shows this year is a lovely thing |
 |
| Go beyond your limits!! Kabu-dence did the impossible. What a treat to see all the characters in action. That after story at the end was quite satisfying too. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Was a pretty weird anime, but glad I kept watching it |
