Lol, Grimm needs to just stop using her curses or whatever. That was embarassing.

As strange as Six's tactics are, he's still pretty strong as a fighter. Never call him a "normal human". I have to say, even though this show was mostly a comedy fest, this episode itself did feel like a finale with the big boss-like battle against the robot. That Destroyer looks dope and got the job done.

Fun show overall with plenty of humor.

LELS Grimm still wanna prove that she can work, but always losing out at the last minute.

The last resport being Rose trying to convince No. 6 to deal with Russell being chimeras, but it's clear that he has a conscience for kids (at least he has some humanity in that idiotic brain of his). And off you go, partner! Stall time being useful and go into the negative while Alice and the rest are able to do their plan to get the secret weapon in the ruins.

No. 6 tried his best, and indeed Alice summoned the best that Kisaragi has to offer: the Destroyer mech. What strong partners in crime.

With the reclamation and retreat of the Demon Lord army, their original mission is done...with the censored Chuhumaru dick joke again, and getting whipped by Alice to take care of her lower half. WAIT WHAT? Install a Tenga on Alice's android body??? OH SHIT HAHA!

Even after all this time, Russell still doesn't want to cooperate, leaving No. 6 with no choice but Tiger Man to induce torture. The Nyaa beast is ready to feast on Russell for roleplay, and he got what he deserved, this creepy and cool beast from an evil corporation.

Grimm, the always salty Grimm, her humanity has gone outta control against No. 6. The smirks though with a self-explosion to finish this show right.

5 volumes adaptation of the LN, just nice! A guilty favourite of a show.

So the destroyer beat Russel and he ended up jailed + forced to crossdress for the tiger, RIP.
And also RIP Grimm (even though she can resurrect), I didn't expect her to explode because she wore socks xD
That's a good way to end this WTF anime I suppose, I would like to see a second season I found it to be quite hilarious to be honest, the jokes didn't even make sense and everything was weird but it's the reason why it was so good.

Stupid ending for a stupid anime, stupidly funny that is!

6's solo battle was jokes, using every trick in his book and summoning like 100 different weapons, because yes, a normal katana would damage a robot that a gun couldn't pierce eh? When 6 got caught I was surprised since he didn't use that power up thingy, but he could've slipped out whenever he wanted to so that was funny.

The tarantula destroyer was interesting, guess it was so large they had to summon it in parts but sounded OP still. Unfortunately, 6 can no longer get married, so alice is his last resort in his harem, well he ain't complaining, partners for life!

Grimm was useless as usual, first her spell backfires and then she exploded which was albeit quite cool xD!

Russel's torture was stupidly jokes, getting tiger man to feast on the little boy - wink wink - and seems like tillis is free from shouting pen** festival in front of a crowd, the king is still MIA though.

Decent series, more of the wtf this is funny as hell type shows rather than a yo that changed my mind kind, but I'm not complaining!

Final battle of Mechas and a reference to Konosuba >Chunchunmaru 😂
I love Alice and n6's relationship
I can't ask for anything more, perfect final episode 0.0

I liked it, the truth is that you get a good laugh out of it. I hope for a second season. 6/10

Only show this season that I have watched weekly.
Now and then; especially earlier in the season -some of the comedy; namely the 'over the top' stuff was very tryhard.
It's decidedly the lesser of Konosuba (esp. S01) but I'm quite happy I didn't drop it.

Also...pretty much all of the mains and many of the supporting are solid B Class waifu material, which never hurts.

As usual, Six's whole squad except for Alice and himself is useless. Both of them did their job of defeating the Mecha Robo. Six did an amazing job of stalling for the required time and Alice did the rest of the job with her mecha Robo, Destroyer.

Six finally awake after three days and they have captured Russell. Alice isn't interested in Six's Chunchunmaru. LOL Nice reference there. Russell got tortured by Tiger Man. He took the offer in the end. And, Grimm's self-destruct was funny and surprising. Not a huge fan of the series but it was alright.

I'm not interested in your Chunchunmaru lol But pretty sweet how Alice is willing to nurse 6 in the future, that's more than he deserves.

Pretty nice finale to a series that managed to stay consistently entertaining thanks to characters like 6, Snow and Grimm, which were equally scummy, dumb and pathetic. I loved it.

A second season would be highly appreciated, even tho I don't have high hopes for it to happen. More Konosuba seems likelier.

Six was quite cool fighting Russel and Alice was dope piloting that destroyer. Interactions between Alice and Six were sweet and funny. That Chunchunmaru refference was hilarious. Also lol Tigerman is a man of culture eh, RIP Russel.

Pretty fun anime overall, it wasn't as funny as I expected but it was a likeable anime so hoping for a new season.

The show itself is just giving me good laugh and not too memorable. I think it's fine to label this one as my guilty pleasure.

The cameo of new characters is already common in anime, and I don't really think they will make season 2. It says "END" at the end of episode. But I'll be delighted if they make it.

The endless battle between science and occult huh. What a place to find that though. If anything stalling is something of a specialty for six. That's one hell of a reinforcement that Alice built though. Nice reference to Konosuba as well. The moment of peace after beating back the invasion sure was nice and did well to showcase the bonds that had been forged between six and Alice. That was quite the method to persuade Russell to surrender though. Overall a solid finale that featured some decent action and humour that managed to wrap the series up nicely.

She can be resurrected. Grimm is immortal as long as she is resurrected at night by putting her on an altar and sacrificing items.

A nice end to this show, after how dire it ended last week good to see that Six and Alice could handle Russell even in that giant mecha. Six really did man up and take Russell on headfirst so that Alice could summon that destroyer with his negative points. The two of them do actually make a good team when they're not finding like cats and dogs. This show was a fun time if a bit excessively crude or mean spirited. Some moments did make me wince but more often than that I laughed a ton. Six as our lead provided a good punching bag for the other characters to abuse and he deserved it most of the time. Especially from Alice whom despite being an android seemed to like giving him hell. Snow, Grimm and Rose were nice compatriots for them to recruit and have along. Each with their own funny moments and highlights. I did enjoy most of the jokes but some did make me question things. You can tell this came before the author's other work Konosuba since this feels like a rougher version of that. Still fun but definitely some kinks to work out with the characters and comedy.

It was a pretty anti-climatic finale. The fight wasn't even there it was just six running around.
Then everything after was just...boring imo.
The show tried to hard to be Konosuba and it's just not Konosuba.

I also hate how anime love to introduce new characters and just be like "End" I guess I'll go read the Manga or LN if I even cared to but I kind of don't.

Oh lord, Grim, once again, fails to prove that her curses work. No matter how stupid six's antics were, he put up a fairly decent fight against Russell. "I'm not interested in your Chunchunmaru", another konosuba reference. Russell really made a terrible decision there. I can't imagine what Tiger man is going to do to him. Overall, this show was pretty funny.

Poor Grimm, really wanted more screentime from her in the last episode but oh well life doesn't always go your way. Alice summonded the Destroyer, a giant spider robot to defeat Russel and it worked. Agent Six went into coma for a few days and wow? that was a konosuba reference! CHUNCHUNMARU. Grimm exploded after Alice put the socks on her xD Really fun last episode. Tiger man is kinda creepy LOL, I don't care if you're a boy or a girl. Hopefully we'll get a second season. This was really fun to watch.

And so the giant robot is beaten by another giant robot and the water demon is put into slavery by a creey pedo tiger man. Whelp, that certainly was a show. Really I have little final thoughts regarding it. It wasn't as good as Konosuba, but I didn't think it would be. At times it was mildly amusing, but I don't think I laughed out loud once. I dunno.

I knew it was going to be the destroyer! And then the chunchunmaru reference, nice.

That was a nice moment between Six and Alice, of course then he had to ruin it by suggesting those "upgrades" xD. I liked the development of their relationship throughout the show.

Ah, so that was the scene in the OP with Tiger Man and Russell. Quite the disturbingly funny character, Tiger Man.

Damn, so Grimm really explodes if she puts on footwear lol.

New character at the end. Is she the demon lord?

Heine and Astaroth were the best girls for me <3.

And so it ends. I have to say I had my doubts when it started, I wasn't a fan of the comedy or Six's voice but once I got used to it I had a lot of fun with it. Much better than Kemono Michi but still not at the level of Konosuba.

I'm going to miss these idiots.

Lol, that's just the kind of finale this series needed. Grimm's moments topped it for me, honestly. Such double standards xD and the useless curse ability, she's been one of my fav characters this season for pure entertainment quality.

Roku-gou playing the "decoy role" and stalling a heck load of time, that's an Agent from the most "evil organisation" for you. Alice is seriously one to keep an eye on. Interesting moments between the two as well, lmao. Little Chunchunmaru, that's strong Konosuba vibes.

Not enough Astorath moments this episode. Seriously, just go to that planet already. How much more teasing are we supposed to be endure?

It's been a fun series, over all. I've seen a lot of people refer to this as the inferior Konosuba and to be honest I can see where it's coming from (aside from the obvious creator factor). Still a pretty solid show on its own right though.

7/10 from me. Had a little dry patch somewhere in the middle but it's been good aside from that.

This season only adapted first 2 volumes in LN while the latest volume of LN is 6/7

Probably the skipped informations are about Agent Six is actually a cyborg(through the surgery that every Kisaragi Agents must go through) and Alice is created by Lilith based on Six's personalities. That's why they are always in the same wave-length way of thinking and looked good when together.

Well, that was a fun finale to a series that hasn't really come close to living up to Konosuba, but has certainly had its moments throughout, including the Konosuba references this episode (Destroyer and Chunchunmaru). The comedy has been pretty solid throughout and it's a fun cast, but compared to Konosuba it doesn't feel like the group are really utilised all that well at all. Grimm got a focus episode early on (but otherwise doesn't do anything really) and Snow gets a reasonable amount of screentime as this show's Aqua, but from the start Rose is more or less just kind of there; by comparison, Megumin and Darkness got a lot more screentime to work with and made many more meaningful contributions while still maintaining their comedic baselines. This cast doesn't feel fully realised in that same way, really.

It's perhaps unfair to just compare this show to Konosuba, but there's so many similarities that it ends up being very difficult to avoid. Ultimately, though, this is a fun show in its own right, so 7/10 feels right.

Overall, I enjoyed this show and was glad to see another one of Akatsuki's work being adapted.

Sad I'm getting the feeling of another Konosuba situation happening where the anime ends here and was used to push the novels. Especially since J.C. Staff made it clear they're swamped with projects till 2023, so if they do the second season it won't come out till 2024. If anything hopefully another studio picks it up.

This finale was meh and ended kind of stale and this show didn't hit like Konosuba, but for a predecessor it was still really enjoyable.

One thing I can take from this episode is how Tiger Man is so based. He liked the idea of Russel being a boy just so he could make him wear a dress to satisfy his own fantasy of his. He's one character I'll miss for sure. XD

Either way, my overall opinion of this series is a positive one. It might be a discount Konosuba to a degree, but it has its own charms and moments that help it stand on its own two feet to differentiate it from that overdone comparison.

Besides, this episode itself showcased how dumb this show can be, but that reason alone just makes it more enjoyable and the characters, even if they're useless half of the time, are a joy to watch. I doubt it'll get a second season, but I would welcome one if it ever happened. =)

7/10 is my final score. Good job, Alice and Zipperman, er , I mean Agent Six! XD

Wonder why did they censor his whoopie stick this time around when it was uncensored few episodes back... Also it seems Alice doesn't have any usable oyster ditch in herself, as 6 said he would want her to have Tenga installed, so I guess all those pixiv illustrations lose their credibility
