| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- To be honest I feel that they tried to exploit many interesting concepts and did not end up developing any, at least they live happy ever after~ |
| I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people will think. "Shit, is her again" or something. People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English. |
| The end of an adventure. The Observer Cody who's been documenting the entire journey of Fena, both him and his father were orchestrating all of this for her. The whole La Pucelle family tree from Joan of Arc, a test to see Fena be a Maiden of Choosing to destroy the world or leave it as is. From her own family to the Samurai Seven, nothing but death awaits them if she chose the latter, but to choose the former, to be reborn and change the world, and she'd be like Noah transporting the world into full reset. The choice is hers, and lose all memories as a side effect of Eden. The choice is made, and the island goes into full self-destruction mode. The Goblin Knights will not relent, and Fena herself became a maiden just like her mother Helena. And just like Abel and Helena, both Fena and Yukimaru did their vows and adhered to the promise, and met again in the afterlife where she loses all of her memories, and of course, the Goblin Knights got their treasure and came out unscathed. Everyone came out alive with that reset, and JUNNA"s ED to end all things on an amicable note (which means that any other concepts didn't really get fleshed all too well). What an astounding ending though (I legit teared), didn't really expect this to stick the landing so hard. Kazuto Nakazawa, you're simply genius. |
 |
| And that's the end for Fena Pirate princess, the most recent Crunchyroll original and the first co-produced by Adult Swim, and oh well what a ride, we had a journey with so many questions and now a lot of them have been answered in the last episode. I have to say I was a bit emotional there when Fena lost her memories and doesn't even remember who Yukimaru and she herself is, I'm still confused about Cody and her father, might have to re-watch it later to understand it better. But that was a fun ride honestly, Production I.G. did a great job with this one, and for the target demographic which would be shoujo it was a pretty solid show. |
 |
| Bit weird how they're giving us all this 'god-like' stuff at the last episode of the series. Thankfully it didn't affect much...? after all that emotional stuff goin on, I'd have thought that the ship couldn't sail more. Colour me surprised; my man's managed to sneak it a little at the very end. good stuff. Also, black-haired Fena? an upgrade from the short-hair version! An interesting anime from start to end. Would've wished for more ship battles (this is pirate-themed, right?), but this is cool too. Kajiura did wayyy better here than in Vanitas: lots more variety and even reminded me some of PriPri's soundtrack. Unique, in a sense. |

| So the magical destiny lined up for her was to make her choose whether to destroy the world, make Fena's Ark, or keep things as-is. And then for an extra kicker they take away all her memories because she wouldn't be able to "handle" the despair of having made the choice. Things could've been a lot more fun if that shapeshifting brat kept his nose out of everything and we just had a fun pirate adventure without ascending to god's realm to unmake the world. |
| The last few episodes were a complete detour from the first few and not in a good way. While I like it when a story goes far from its starting point, it needs to be paced in a decent manner, this just wasn't it. |
 |
| So the assassin plotline was dropped. (Shitan gave away this important sword to them, but they're just going to forget the whole "Fena is a witch who lead them astray" thing?) The pirate girls are alive somehow, just because. Cody ended up being fairly pointless, since they could have just had Fena's dad meet her at the place. Fena didn't even do anything. We just got some Eva-style CONGRADULATIONS, Fena cries, and then nothing happens. She lost her memories, but that doesn't mean anything because she's just going to do what she's always done, and she's slowly remembering things anyway. Nothing was really accomplished in the end. I figured they'd go with "muh third option" because every show does that, even when it's stupid. But everything felt so stupid here. What the hell? |

| So Fena kept the world the world the same. She lost her memories but remembered right at the end when Yukimaru said he loved her. Also, Brunette Fena is <3. |

| To be honest was kinda underwhelming ending for how good was the overall anime. The impressive part of the ending was the Rumble Rose girls be alive at least partially of them . I'm really happy to see Charlotte well and one last time. |
 |
| Black hair Fena > light blonde Fena This was a nice bittersweet finale. I'm glad that this series turned out to be a more enjoyable and impactful experience than I had expected, even tho it's largely due to the production. 6,5/10 Too bad it wasn't double cour, then it might've been genuinely great. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I found everything so underwhelming after a good start to the series... might have to give B: The Beginning a try to see if it's just me not enjoying Nakazawa's stuff. |
| This end was just not executed well. i liked the design of having Black hair fena and nice to see not all of the female pirates die from the earlier eps. But, so much shit gets packed in and not much resolved and left me feeling unsatisfied. The show itself didnt even make her seem like a pirate. The show overall had an epic sound design as well as beautiful art. But this ending left a sour taste in my mouth sadly. |
"Perfection is perception. For me, humanity's imperfections is what makes it perfect"  |
| I'm not sure what to think of this? It started well, but after some point, it feels like they changed the story in the middle and didn't bother to make it work. This anime isn't bad, but it's not a good one either. It might have been better with 26 episodes, but I'm not sure. It was a good journey with an ok ending. |
| I'm so conflicted. While I got my, sort of happy ending, I'm still sad that the last two episodes were basically butchered. The explanation we got was horseshit and it makes no sense whatsoever. Had it been a different explanation, I would've enjoyed it a lot more. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| This series really needed to be longer, slower to fit a more adventure tone early on, and stick to the story roots a lot better, for the climax and payoff to be truly quality and feel meaningful and the characters to be a lot better in various aspects than they were by the end (with bonus points for cutting down the obnoxious comedy). I feel like 12 episodes was just not enough time for this series to fully flesh itself out for success and in the end, still leaves a lot to be desired sadly. I wasn't that high on the series from the first episode but those last few episodes really were butchered and an absolute mess to watch, and the length of this series did not help one bit. At least if there's one thing I'll carry over from this show, is JUNNA's opening song being gold and one of my favorites from the year, and I'll take the ED too for this final episode. Definitely see myself listening to them a good amount of times over the next few months. Helps that JUNNA's one of my favorite Japanese female vocalists I've heard over the past year or two. |
| My favorite part is when Yukimaru declares that he'll find her, no matter what... But then he wakes up and immediately finds that she respawned like 2 feet away from him. Also, Abel and Fena's mom were reincarnated as kids. I guess Fena did that somehow? Kinda weird that there was a secret option that was basically just "Keep things exactly the same, but also you can revive people and all your friends live, and also your memories can come back." Felt like that should have been an option. But no, it wasn't brought up because "muh secret third option so we can pretend the character was smart and defied fate." (I'm assuming she went with a third option. If she just went with the "all your friends die tragically" option, then that wouldn't explain the reincarnated children. It would also make a lot of things pointless and stupid.) |

| not bad ending i thought Fena will never recover her memories but the moment Yukimaru says i love you to her its implied some of her memories are back at least i like Black Hair Fena though but still Karin is best girl for just being more funny and loud this was never about being Pirates but some Religious Apocalypse plot eh but ye they got a lot of treasures back in the end so it kinda is a Pirate show that way too they can make a sequel for this though since Fena chooses the timeline where her friends will get killed so she gonna change the future to avoid that from happening plus where is Grace that sexy hot morena pirate |
| Anyone else feel like the ending was… anticlimactic? Idk it just felt like the speed went from 60-200 so quickly at the end. I loved the show tho and despite the ending not being great, there was so many good moments from this series and the adventure element was fun. I honestly wish this became a long running show instead of one cour. I think there was potential for more. If adult swim and Crunchyroll are going to continue to collab, I hope they can build upon the positives here. |

| Damn what a freaking last episode, I'm glad that she chose the 2nd option. Honestly a really good original anime imo 8/10 |
 |
| Show had a fun start, only to rapidly tumble downhill and eventually land in the mud puddle that is this shitshow of an ending. Only good parts of this episode were the top tier animation and the pirate ladies being alive at the end. |
| I couldn't bring myself to be concerned for the world,considering the world build feels lackluster with limited character, the mercenaries that are underdeveloped , as it follows a linear puzzle path as if it's like an MMO and RPG game. How is this even related to Fena being the "Pirate Princess" especially when the fact is they are under the sea most of the time using the submarine?So Fena is a maiden that decides the fate of the world, except none of the characters am I able to get attached to, or even want to bother mind with. "oh the world can get destroyed and your memory would get restarted" AND OF COURSE OBVIOUSLY, the whole island collapses with all the treasures within it, this is just sooo cliche, you see it too many times. Ever since they stepped foot on the island and discovered all the treasures gathered around the world, I straight away know how it would end up. At this point, it would've been better and more entertaining if they plan out on how they would take out all of the treasures. It's like Yukimarus flashback with Abel never even happend as well!! Along with all enemies that are sooo easily forgotten! It's like nothing has changed at alL!Thats how empty this anime was! I especially don't feel any ninja concept from it as well, it's as if being in the submarine all the time was not enough. It's like this whole series is mashed together with random stuff from history, legends, and for some reason there is no explanation on how the Japanese ninja mercenaries are at like where? The Atlantic ocean? Ending felt so unaccomplished 2/10 |

| That was a strange and underwhelming finale for Fena: Pirate Princess. I had a feeling that Fena would turn out to be some kinda of Demi god while the series gave us a huge info dump that could have been spread out in the last three episodes. I'm guessing that Fena choose the keep the world the way it is and trust that her friends will survive the times ahead. At least Fena and Yukimaru got their happily ever after at the ending scene even though she lost most of her memories. Shout out to one of my favorite studios, Production I.G for providing great visuals and animation. I agree that Fena with long black hair looks way better than when she had white hair. I give this series a 7/10. |
 |
| Well wth! The last two three eps of this show took a strange detour which I didn't liked that much as much I liked the initial eps. The last eps were just meh, it went from gun fighting to whole supernatural stuff which was kinda hard to digest as it didn't explained certain things. But I have to say one thing, actually it didnt bored me, this show atleast kept me engaged in it. So with Amazing animation, good osts, good plot but mid execution, characters were just okayish, Abel's backstory was good tbh. It's a 7/10 nothing more nothing less imo. |
 |
| Looking at the opinions here, I'd agree if it was a 2-cour to flesh out the story more because there wasn't really a lot done with the sub-text of the plot. How one thing led to another...it was really well-paced...until the final stretch. It was a "suck up b*tches in your face" kinda ending, going for the emotional impact rather than curing its Achilles' heel: the story (or rather the plot) which seemed so random like you're playing side quests to get to the destination, and then again it's not the end of that. I wholeheartedly agree that you're being so shot-wonked for the final stretch, as if like the show is running out of gas. But for a Crunchyroll Original, at least this one had so much promise and majority of it severely underdelivered. Good but not great. |
|
Steed-M said: Also, the romantic subplot. I expected it, but it was really kinda forced for me. Idk bro, just my 2cents. Last year the director said he's trash at writing romance but forced himself to do add into Fena anyway 😭 |
| They did my boy Brulle best boy, good boy, fluffy boy, dirty! Those assholes didn't even bothered to bring him back even once for the finale, not even as a background character, they just went and deleted him from the show. Any show that sends doggos to the shadow realm deserves my scorn. |
| I really enjoyed the beginning episodes since I thought this show was going to be a show about Fena becoming a pirate but as the show went on I realized that wasn’t going to be the case, overall this finale made me drop my score from 7 to 6 since overall it was a cool show; would love to see a season 2 where they actually go on adventures though |
 |
| I can't see how it got turned into this when all I expected was a simple adventure series from the impression of those initial episodes. Too much things to be in single cour series but yeah atleast they tried to give a conclusive end to Fena and Yukimaru's relationship. Was a decent series but nothing really stands out. |
 |
| I think the main issue with this series is, that at the beginning it felt like it was nicely building up to something greater, but at a pace where it felt like they were building up to a 2nd Season in full hopes of getting a greenlight for that. But then it started to get more and more rushed since that didn't seem possible and they had to tie up the story. I forgot which episode it was exactly, but at a certain episode everything felt like it was going from a near perfect pace, to suddenly just "get to the ending asap" It was stll a enjoyable show to watch, but since I was expecting a Season 2 this was a pretty harsh way to end the series. I really enjoyed that there was some highly mythical elements added to it, but I would have enjoyed that way more if it wasn't done so fast, they literally searched for Eden, found Eden, found the treasure, got to a mythical like world and made a world changing decision in like what, 2-3 episodes? Even something like the buildup to Kai oder Kei (forgot because he was only shown once or twice briefly and at the end) was just brushed away with a 2s scene of them giving him the sword. This series had such incredible potential in its early and pretty late stages, but this is the curse of original anime, nobody knows how it's going to go. Oh well, nothing that can be done now. |
| Uhm.... I don't really know what to say. The show's plot was complete mess, especially in the last few episodes. Like bunch of unrelated people were asked to throw bunch of ideas at the wall and then someone just randomly assembled them together, especially that later half and the ending. So many great ideas, fun characters with a lot of potential and behind it all a drop dead gorgeous production. Probably the most beautiful TV anime of this year. So a shame it turned out like this. Anyway, even with all of the bad writing the show managed to remain fun and I was always entertained (which I now feel was mostly due to great production values). Black haired Fena is nice. 5/10 |
| So she choose to remain a pawn till the end... "Born to choose" my ass. If someone told me that, I'd sure as hell just sit down there and refuse to make any choice for eternity. On top of that she gets to lose her memories AND give her descendants same shitty destiny. Might've as well cut her wrists there and laugh at Cody. Tbh this felt very bad for me. She let herself be used and anime tried us to make feel sorry for her. |
JustAnotherShiroOct 24, 2021 1:43 AM
| LMAO..... this anime was suddenly changing from the pirates' thingies to be saving the fate of humanity with some magical supernatural power. She was forced to choose the fate of humanity. All of Fena's journey from the start is for being sacrificed and wiped out all of her memories. WTF... hahaha Well...., at least, we've got black-haired Fena, which is better than the white one. And, it also looks like that she can regain her memories bit by bit. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| I was kind of afraid of this... The ending wasn't as great as I expected it would be. So Fena is actually some kind of goddess who can choose to change the future to however she sees fit? At least that's what I gathered from the episode. Black haired Fena is something else though! I just hate the whole memory loss bit, but atleast they live happily ever after. Production was stellar whole way through, the ending definitely knocks it down a few in the rating. 7/10 |
 |
| Fena lost her memories and got black hair instead xD they really wanted to do a "psychological" impactful ending but it was just ridiculous and not emotional at all, the beginning (first half) was pretty good and had good vibes, they should have stayed like that, they just thought they were able to create a masterpiece with the final ideas lol. 5/10 still a OK show but mainly because the 1st half was fine |
 |
| A lot of questions were answered in this episode and I'm actually satisfied with it. As a show, t did what it was supposed to do. I really enjoyed this show even if it was so underrated this season. But, whatever the case, the journey was kinda fun while it lasted. Fena made the choice and now she has friends who care about her. There were things that could've been done better but I won't go into that. But, yeah, a decent ending IMO, it could've gotten worse. I like Fena in her long black hair as well. She looks cute as usual. Not the greatest show out there but overall, it was fine. |
