| It's kinda weird how they made Sandra the final boss in this series, at least in this anime. I never felt much about Sandra's character or buildup so it felt underwhelming. Not surprised that it's Shiloh who took the sword and stands up against her. Felt like a very JRPG-ish ending for the finale with the welcome back. |

It seems like there will be director's cut ver. of this ep. released later (after January 2023). https://mana-lom-tc.com/news/detail20221224.php I hope there will be news on the release of ED song (Serafina / Japanese ver.). Edit: Edit 2: director's cut adds |

| That sword that supposedly should cut anything was a scam. Seraphina goes "Shiloh!You can't cry for the Jumi!", to a bleeding and impaled Shiloh. Sandra skedaddle very fast after the revival. |
 |
| As much as this episode was a slideshow, I just really loved the world this anime presented to us. I definitely would watch another season or two. |

At least this anime is good enough for me to pretend to feel nostalgia. Never play any Mana series before, but I like the character design from Trials of Mana, I hope to see anime adaptation of it.

| Ah no, I was happy and felt good when Shiloh died. That alone would have been enough for me to tell myself why I wasted my time watching this garbage, but, excuse me, he survived? |

| The ending isn't too bad even though both survived obviously, but well, this anime had potential with the JRPG's world building (final fantasy elements etc) and the characters design (imagine a Magical Starsign adaptation one day xD that would be the dream) it's just a pity that the story went all over the place during the 2nd half imo |
 |
I have mixed feelings about this episode.
Overall I liked this series I just think that it needed more of the game's ost, less of their original songs, more fighting scenes, less skipped scenes and follow more closely the games plot. For that I'll give a score of 8/10. And I'll hope that they make Matilda, Daena, Escad and Irwin story next ٩(ↀДↀ)۶ |
 |
| Err, I expected someone would use the sword of fate and defeat lord of 999/1000 jewels then proceed to the miracle scene, but he didn't ever appear. I liked some moments of the anime and I hate to be that guy, but the game is better. Ok, Seraphina was trained by Alex/Sandra, who was a strong jumi but come on, Seraphina is strong enough to defeat Lady Black Pearl? I'm disappointed by this ending, but I still loved to see the characters voiced by Japanese actors. Maybe we'll have the chance to watch the anime adaptation of faeries and dragons' quests. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| It feels like they left out half of the episodes |
 |
| A character changed sexes (if they have one, maybe they don't) at some point of the story and no explanation was given. Another one remained unexplored until the last episode gave us a very brief flashback about her. Said last episode had tons of flashback of stuff we had seen before in the series. The protagonist remained useless throughout the whole series and I don't think they ever showed what the narration at the beginning of the show was, right? The resolution was ass pulled shit. Oh and what a bait the opening was. The aesthetics were cute, everything else was bleh. |
| So the one who rescued the Jumi is not the Lord of Jewel but Shiloh and Seraphina? |

| So yeah, I mean, the ending was nice and all. Great to hear Annika's version for "Song of Mana" it's all very nostalgic and everything. But in the end I have to say I didn't like it all that much. Main reason being: No Blackpearl route. But it's not the only one. It didn't make sense for the femMC to be able to take down Blackpearl at the end, the melodramatic relationship with Sandra didn't make coherent sense either, so your lifelong friend just commits suicide in front of you, so you go like .. oh ok. Also I don't feel that most people felt anything seeing the Jumi die, I know I didn't, and I've played this game many times, there was no actual affective background being built, not to mention many of their deaths were anticlimactic, mostly because nothing about these characters was explained ... except maybe Elazul and Blackpearl, and we don't see either of them die, the only one that more or less made an impression was Esmeralda and having her practice magic and being a complete failure at it was a nice touch, even then, it was somewhat subpar, she just kinda died like a nobody, and MC hardly did anything to defend her or show any sense of duty. What I would have done: Start the whole event sequence from Cosmo, then emphasize STs and special moves in important battles, give MC more of a reason to help the Jumi, half the time he was just following them around with zero convictions about what was happening, and the fact he didn't even become Esmeralda's knight made it even more nonsensical for him to take this on a personal level, we could've had Rubens and Diana's relationship explained in flashbacks, highlighted events would have to be Cosmo, the Lucky Clover, and the Two Pearls, give it 3 episodes each, and then other 3 for Fluorite and Teardrop Crystal, use the dream sequence to cover the Jumi's past, leave Sandra out of the picture and let it remain and enigmatic character just like the game, that would have been better and instead focus on building bonds with the "good" Jumi and breaking them, and Serafina? complete waste of space, we don't need her. I think that would have made everything more compelling, though well, that would also make people who are unfamiliar understand less of what's actually going on, but let's be honest, how many people watching for the first time actually understood? I don't think many of them did anyway. |
| I didn't really like Shiloh that much so his dead here was more of a relief to me but hey at least the other Jumi got revived. I kinda wish the story was executed better as the fantasy world itself and the character designs looked pretty good |
 |
| I still don't get what Sandra was trying to accomplish? What was the lord of jewels supposed to be doing? I felt like Seraphina wasn't shown suffering enough each time she did something bad? She did it all with a straight face and then she says she didn't want to do that stuff and ok I might believe you more if you hesitated at some point. Shiloh had a freakin spear through him and he was still talking as if everything was fine for several minutes. And he forgave Seraphina way too easily?? Even if she didn't like it, she still killed people?? The ending was so rushed, I wish they had shown an epilogue or something. So sad this anime could have been awesome if only the writing did not suck. |
| Animation was so bad, especially Serafina stabbing Shiloh. Also them coming home just like that was also shitty. |
 |
| It's too sad the animation and direction were so awful. While the character designs look amazing, they must have been incredibly difficult to draw over and over again thus it was fated to end up being just a Power Point presentation. I mean, animating such highly detailed characters would require lots of time and a very high budget, which I am assuming the animators had none of. Still the music was amazing and the fact that they incorporated the OST was a nice touch. I really liked the story, despite never having played Legend of Mana before (guess is some good time to give it a try). For someone who's unfamiliar with the story but familiar with the franchise, I still think there were many things left unexplained that would have been nice to know like: |
| At least I got to see Elle for 2 seconds and Flameshe for 10. No Monique at all was disappointing. I agree with the average rating people gave this anime..After Emeralda died the entire show went to crap. |

Sandra wished to save Florina at expense of everyone else (which was what Florina was doing, she was giving her life to everyone) because the Lord of the jewels could create a Teardrop crystal to save Florina if he had 1000 jumi cores.

| Loved this game. Beat the boss in one hit. but this ending and the rest of the season was a bit disappointing. would have been nice to have 2 cours. |

| Shiloh the first MC that never get W? Overall this is just really mediocre adaptation, i still watching it pure of Nostalgia. They used the OG version of Sword of Mana, another pure Nostalgia fan service. 5/10 very biased for Nostalgia aspect. Just play the Game. you deserve to have a good time. |
 |
| Wait what?! Is this the end? The last boss is not that powerful and the MC's very weak... But at least He and Sefarina save the Jumi. |

| The story could've been good and decent after watching the first episode but man, they ruined it after that. It's like a copy paste of Super Mario with different plots, storyline... 👀 The ending was way too rushed, the story was rushed while the animation was too slow. Overall, it was very bad. Same feelings when I watch the Ragnarok the Animation. I had to use 2x playback speed... |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Thanks a lot for the explanation, I'm glad to know there's more in the game.

| This Director's Cut was such a waste. |
 |
Marcos_Aspira said: No, it is a very good episode. I like it so much!This Director's Cut was such a waste. |
|
| Director's cut was much better than original broadcast, animation was actually present but it didn't change that Seraphina impaling Shiloh with her spear wasn't needed (and didn't have any consequences) also she didn't do wwredemption for her wrongdoing, which made her returning with him to his home still jarring as fuck. |
|
| Please play the original game instead of this crappy as hell adaptation. |
  |
| "I mean... you killed a bunch of my friends are I'm already dying because of you, but man, your cooking was the best!" - Shiloh, a completely sane and fine protagonist Oh boy... this episode was atrocious. When this show started I actually wondered why people hate it so much, the first half was fine. But the last few episodes and especially this episode were just horribly written. Characters made no sense either and the fighting scenes were one of the worst I've ever seen. 3/10 |
