THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Hazama laughs too fucking much tbh. The fight felt blend and lacking.

Oh well at least Noel is back to her normal self again. Ending felt lackluster as well. Sigh.

Oh well... all hype were gone after 1-2 eps so nothing new to say here...
at least they should have made Ragna vs Hazama battle something better animated and memorable, not like "Idea Engine On" and horribly animated "devoured by darkness"
and god damn that sound FX was so fuckin poor... that stupid explosion sound on every fuckin kick! I mean wtf... I dunno, I think Mori san must redeem himself and make better adaptation in the future, like prequel Movie or CP based movie or w/e just better adapted than this crap.

In terms of animation quality, it was probably the best this ep o_O
I enjoyed the ride, but I guess Mizushima did jinx himself and killed the series back in arcfes :v

I guess Mori made this just to Noel animated.

It seems they actually do a couple fixes of the animation on the BD/DVD version, though it doesn't change the fact the story is butchered so much.

They should made this at least 2 cour. Also, they made most of the characters aren't even relevant on this adaptation , they're only appeared once and never appear again on the remaining episodes.

The characters are probably the biggest offense of this trainwreck, its one thing to butcher the story but the fact they somehow couldnt even remotely follow the character's personalities for even the short moments they appear makes this feel like a horrible joke, I think relius was the only character they didnt completly fuck up personality wise, and ragna is by far the worst adapted of all of them, aside from making him look week and useless as shit they ended up making him act like jin most of the time, ragna is cold in the game but in this they made him act like a sociopath

I enjoyed it for what it's worth, which isn't much. But man, gonna spend my Christmas replaying the games, I don't want my last BlazBlue experience to be watching some horribly adapted anime.

I must admit, animation quality was much better in the last episode. But this series could have been so much better adapted, I don't even know where to start complaining. Remake and BD corrections when.

Stticked to it till the end so I can say with 100% certainty that this show was pure garbage. This is a disgrace. The only good thing about this show was opening song and nothing else. Bad animation, static and boring camera angles, butchered personalities with even more butchered story sequences. I remember that I always wanted a Guilty Gear anime, but after seeing this, I don't think I want one.

Just gonna enjoy Chrono Phantasma and forget this piece of shit ever existed...

I find Diabolic Lovers worse, but it still was much more interesting! That's quite an achievement. I've seen what was happening and couldn't understand it at all! If you want to spend some money on sth, then put some effort into it. What's the point in doing an anime that won't satisfy anybody? Even those, who actually played the game?

Just wanted to chime in and say I enjoyed the anime immensely. Animation quality was quite high overall and the story line was extremely enjoyable, despite a few filler episodes. You really don't see many anime that has this much background. The only draw back to me was that it was clear there was a lot that the viewer was assumed to have known and they didn't delve into that back story. That said, the anime was definitely enjoyable and understandable without that knowledge (never heard of this before the first ep, which was absolutely amazing).

I'd give both this ep and the series an 8/10. Deff something i'd suggest watching for anyone who's into the fantasy genre.

I'm also pretty sure that the people saying they disliked it are those who know the whole story from the games/LN and are disappointed that there wasn't more in the anime. As stated above, the anime is a good stand alone, but i could see it disappointing someone who is very familiar with the series.

They should go to the path of Ecchi / Hentai to hook more people, so even though we don't understand the whole story, at least there's still some we will look out for.

I think the anime was okay. It wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible as well.

As someone who never played the story in the games I understood most of it.

I hope you guys know that the ending doesn't really follow up to a season 2, but moreso it follows up to Chrono Phantasma, the next game that came out in Japan last month. The anime just covered Calamity Trigger and Continuum Shift (though they definitely rushed the former)

They might make a second season anyways after the whole Blazblue story is done in the games.

I am disappointed at the lack of many character appearances like Platinum and such, especially in terms of action. But ah well, I guess that's what the games were for :V

Not really good as a final episode, but i still somewhat enjoyed it. If there's a plan for a 2nd season, i hope for a different studio to handle it, or at least improve the animation quality and the screenplay.

Well, in case you're not trolling, i'm glad to know that the anime's still enjoyable to the people that don't play the game.

They imply a sequel because BlazBlue keeps going after continuum shift, DUH.
But eh, hard to expect a good review from this, considered the story, character and overall is deeper than it looks (again, if you play the game, you'll be able to grasp a lot of information, from characters' perspectives for example). It's not Street Fighter but they could learn it from Deen like Fate Stay Night which it's a visual novel based and yet it received a good amount of like.

There are tons of animes with low budget but still managed to keep up the good work.

I love Blazblue and I supported it until the end but I admit it just ruined it for me. Loved the fight but a gap was left for me even if I know pretty much the game.

Also didn't Relius killed Hazama instead of Ragna? Couldn't they show it? I thought for a second that he lived since he got spared.

The last episode was a little entertaining but it's just a bland ending to a very bland adaption.

I'm kinda on the fence about this show overall though..

It wasn't good but at the same time it wasn't as godawful as everyone puts it out to be.

I'm a fans of the blaz series but honestly, this wasnt adapted very well, it did no justice for the games it was based on and it felt super rushed only to appeal to those that already know the back story(maybe because 12 eps wasnt enough).

I actually thought this episode was pretty good and the anime overall was okay.

I think that this actually derives from the fact that I've played through CT's story but not CS's story, so I had some backstory but the CS main plot was new to me.

So tl;dr: it was okay, could have been worse, you know? Helps a lot if you played through CT.

I have played the games although never the story, and this was a truly horrible adaption, even as a stand alone. And I wanted to like this considering how much I liked the game. The animation budget was laughably low and please don't tramuatize anyone by recommending this garbage.

Glad I stuck it out with this series. The second half was much better compared to the first half. I have a couple questions and wonder if anyone could be kind enough to answer them. For one, can anyone tell me if this is an original anime ending or if this ending follows the games? Two, has the story of the games been finished or is it still ongoing? From what I know, the latest release of the BlazBlue games was just a remake.

I've played the multiplayer (of Calamity Trigger, I think?), but I don't own the games so I knew nothing about the story. I could follow the overall events pretty easily, but obviously the show's execution was atrocious so many of the details were never clear. Especially the backstory with Ragna and Jin (and that other girl).
Pie is delicious.
