| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Eh this felt like a filler. Giant fish spotted and some onsen scenes.. Honestly, this show was awful in the end. Episode 12 felt more like a finale. I'm glad it's over. Fan service was all over the place in the finale. |
 |
| ... ...what was this episode? I think this episode reached the stage that the Goddess of Mercy even couldn't help beating the face of the director with a full swing. I think this series has less quality. But I like this dark and gloomy atmosphere. And this episode completely lost that. I guess the episode of the last week was suitable for a grand finale. Furthermore, this episode was literally awful. All persons of the production team seemed to lose their sanity. |

| What the fuck was this, this is the worst end i ever saw in an anime |
| Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho |
| This wasn't the end. Obviously. Come on guys, don't be dumb. The last episode was last week. This is the "fun" episode that some studios/series put at the end of the show for some reason or another. I seem to be the only person that thoroughly enjoyed this episode, even if it was an OVA filler. |
| Pretty funny last episode, I was kinda expecting something like this to happen since last weeks episode was technically the final episode. One another note since this anime was a bit dark sometimes i guess it was ok to end it with something like this. |
VyraLove said: I seem to be the only person that thoroughly enjoyed this episode, even if it was an OVA filler. You are. And the fact it's in your top 5...I mean really...really now. This pile of crap...there was nothing good about it. At all. At all. This whole series was shit. I watched it just to give it a low rating bc if I drop something I don't rate it (logical enough to me). If you legitimately enjoyed this as a series then I honestly believe you need to reevaluate your definition of entertainment because watching tin foil blow in the wind probably is a way you kill time. |
| Well...I certainly wasn't expecting that, LOL. Pretty fun last episode, I guess as someone else said, the real ending was last week's ep. Not much else to say apart from this was definitely a rather unusual show that didn't seem to know where it was going itself...but, I did find it enjoyable at times, strangely, and even sometimes looked forwards to it. Not sure why, but there we go, so 6/10 for me. My highlight was the ED with Karen's fan dance. Really love that ED. |
| This anime was so bad that this episode was the best. Although it was a filler |
I'll just say to myself that this anime only had 12 episodes and was based on a journey of self-discovery and conscience development by Alka, so that I can still keep the 5/10 I gave before. However I must say that If I don't focus myself on that premise only, and instead focus on the full anime, then this show wouldn't even deserve a 4/10... In fact this last episode almost felt like the 13th episode that was supposed to only be available on the BD's, however since they felt this would not sell they released it just like another episode. So bottom line, for Alka's psychological voyage of self-conscience growth and evolution I'll keep the 5/10. But only with a very high dose of good-will, otherwise the best I could award this anime was only a 4/10. |
Personal tastes are like peoples behinds, each one has its own, and only those who wants to find [...] will smell one another. |
| I don't like to score anime. I usually go off how certain themes or qualities of the show made me feel. So my final verdict is that I liked it. This final fan service episode though was really unnecessary. If anything, they should have shown some of the old Alka in action. |

| Even the Hot spring OVA had horrendous animation quality. At least other shows consider their fan service srs bznss Not this one though |
| This could have been an OVA. This anime was overall a waste of time. So boring :/ |
| This is obviously the best Anime of this season. 10/10 Fuck that.. 11/10 |
| What the fuck was the point of this ? 5/10 |
 |
| Well, it could have been better but this fanservice episode was better than the anime itself LOL btw Why didn't they just do an OVA of this? ._. |
| I'll just think it's in a 12+ 1 OVA format lol. Not going to change anything though. The show isn't bad but it was painfully average. 5/10. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Not even sure why they bothered to produce a 13th episode, it was just filler lol. |
My Candies:     |
| Seeking treasure for eternal beauty. How nice of Karen to just abandon her crews like it's nothing. I see how those knockers can easily dominate over any type of male species. :p Onsen fight was so stupid, it wasn't even funny. Aruka arrives and brings them back to senses. Blue (Heaven's Spirit) rose turns out to be the cause of illusion. And so, they live their life happily ever after as queens of the island. Medetashi, medetashi.. Weak fanservice episode to end the series. Previous episode should've ended it. 5/10. |
 |
| Why. |
| A fitting end for a horrible show. Trashy filler that was appropriate for these hideous characters. Everything about it was bad, name it animation, plot, characters, w/e. Even the voice acting was terrible, which rarely happens these days. Total disaster, a disgrace, but imma give it a generous 2/10 instead of 1/10 because I liked Ran Yu's design. It baffles me how people rate it anything over 4/10, especially if they're older than 8 y/o |
| The obligatory OVA onsen episode included into TV run I guess. Episode 13 aside, I'm giving this anime a 7/10. It was much better than some other ones this season. Can't wait for this game to finally be released in NA :) |
| LOL this is an OVA alright. A typical fans service one. Eh whatever I'll just rate until 12 episodes then. It's quite an enjoyable ride. There's nothing gound breaking about the story but I love how they used symbolism (you rock, old philosophical dude!) and the use of foreshadowing. The sloppy animation and choppy directing is the downfall of this anime but the background music during episodes were majestic!! I truly believe they shoved the animation budget just to create the background music alone (weird choice, I know). Overall it's an average shows with equal pros and cons, definitely not as bad as people made it out to be and despite coming from a game with gratutious design, I'm glad they managed to keep the ecchi during the main story to the minimum. I honestly didn't really notice any extreme fan service except a few forgettable boob bounces (I don't really regard that as ecchi either unless you're younger than 10) and 2 nudity moments from Alka and Jin which barely showed anything (even then it fits the situation instead of the typical forced fan service that came out of nowhere). 5/10 |
 |
| Pointless episode,6/10 for the series. |
  |
| The final episode was a filler. Episode 12 was the final episode. 6/10. |

| eh.. huh.. weird to put an episode that is like a bonus episode on the blu-ray release as the final episode but anyway just a bonus episode anyway about the entire series loved the music. op was great ed was great ost was great liked the character design even though there were times were it looked terrible due the budget limitations probably fights were pretty good but again it was noticable that the series lacked a big budget i liked the overall story of alka finding her humanity more or less and the overall setting. got quite dark at times and i liked the overall serious tone in the end it is a bit unfortunate that the series was clearly meant to advertize the japanese release of blade & soul and the studio tried the best to make it interesting. which they succeeded but it feels rushed and incomplete. the ending of episode 12 should have been the end of the first story arc of a longer running series. + great music + character design + story and setting + animation at times - feels rushed and incomplete. - character design and animations often suffering from the lack of budget/time 6.5/10 had the potential to be really good, quite a few issues but i still enjoyed it |
Zer01 said: Such a terrible OVA. I'm so glad that it's over, but honestly I was enjoying the anime until episode 7. ^ u said it 8 jsut when in a down hill the fucking uality has been terrible wth |
 |
| So, ehm, yeah, then that happened. Over now? A shame, this anime was really great. Wonderful character development, great story, amazing subplo....who am I kidding. Finally over, see you around people. 3/10 |
| That was honestly the best episode in the series. |
 |
| meh. Wasted opportunity. On another note, this was the first series I found myself watching every episode's Ending Theme. Ridiculous "waterball-oobs" aside, I enjoyed the combination of the song ("Rainbow" by LEGO BIG MORL) & Karen's (the Proprietress) fan dance. |
 |
| This is more like an OVA. It was ok. |
 |
| ALL HAIL OPPAI 5 cyclops out of 10. |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |
| Totally a fanservice filler episode! 6/10 |
 |
| Why the fuck isnt this an OVA, this being a 13th episode is disgusting, they really should have ended it at 12 then i would have had a better opinion of ep 13. |
| Powered by yuri. Needless to say, I finish all anime I start, no matter my initial opinion, no matter how bad it gets, I WILL FINISH IT! http://www.anime-planet.com/users/zunderdog24  |
| Eh 1/5 episode. -1 for the overall score so 5/10. Why the fuck did they include this -.- I'll try to forget this episode exists or think of it as a shitty OVA. |
 |
| Surprisingly enjoyable for something based off a MMO. Liked this ova. IZEROII said: VyraLove said: I seem to be the only person that thoroughly enjoyed this episode, even if it was an OVA filler.

You are practically everything thats wrong with a fanbase. |
 |
| At least this episode has rhythm, the issue are the 12 sleepy introductory episodes (introductory because this was the real story and the episodes 1-12 were the filler) |
| So the true ending is that they all live out their days on a desert island...... |
| Well, I was surprised how last episode felt like a last episode despite there still being 1 episode left. So that's why, it really was the last. Overall, it was an average series at best. Simply a publicity for the game that was released last month in japan, nothing more. Not hoping for a second season, but can NCSoft get this game released in English please! At least before 2018. |
| Pretty lame ending for a series that started with lots of excitement. Episode 12 should ended the series, I don't know what this bit of fluff was about. |
| I still can't believe this is the same studio that made Gankutsuou, Last Exile, and Welcome to the NHK. 4/10. |
