Nice and calm ending as i was expecting. There were some deep talking and stuff but lets not get into that.

The best character of the anime imo was "Kei", Always planning, finding the way going against the flow and that SOB even mange to turn a love triangle into a harem and get the both girls (kind of, we still have the main girl and a side girl but at least it didn't end up in a full drama and one winner and one loser case)

Anyway, i really liked this anime, its music and the story. Its a shame that many people dropped it because they didn't understand the first few episodes but i actually liked that intro part.

Overall my final score is the 9/10
so he ended up with both girls😨

Ohh shit really unexpected looking at the score i thought it will be just a mediocre mystery anime it surprised me how underrated it is
The plot kinda complicated for some people but if you understand the plot it js really amazing
10/10 the timing bgm and the bgm itself is really good the Character also lovable oh yeah and there is Romance in this anime the romance here is not that simple they confessed and kiss each other even some romance anime doesnt have any kissing scene so its good for you guys who want to watch mystery drama romance together

This is the type pf show i will use as an example of plot driven, cuz character wise is extremelly lacking, all feel like tools for kei execpt kei itself , and kei fell like a gary stu, oh come on, all the girls help him cuz they want to make him happy (aka being in love with him ) he is the most smartest guys, no one help him everything goes his way and he is always right cuz he remember things, remembering things doesnt make you smart, make you someone with good memory, thats all, but everybody in this show happen to look at him like some god... yeah gary stu

7/10 being nice.... plot was good, then slowly drop, last episode felt anticlimatic, if he choose haruki then kiss her at least

Dont TELL ANOTHER GIRL IN FRONT OF YOUR GF "tskui da kirey" which is a japanese informal way to tell someone you LIKE HER, and that poor girl being told all the time i choose haruki but stay close .... lowkey asshole xD

The show was interesting at times, but I found the conversations dull and overindulgent, the characters robotic, apart from Sumire, and the MC was an ass. He even used a term, that could be easily misinterpreted, on the person who he had hurt the most. A lot of the conversations were just pointless. 6/10.

This show is underrated honestly shit is fire. Its really dialogue heavy and you have to pay attention but bruhhhh the dialogue is so good. Shit got me thinking about my own life. The abilities really are a good metaphor for real life and how we all different and we gotta exploit those differences despite how similar we are as humans. Idk tho i off the pack but yeah this show is gas and would recommend if you want something with nothing special animation wise, but a show that really will teach you a thing or 2 nocap. Cant believe it has a 7.36 rating that’s brazy

This is probably one of the few shows I've seen where I was vastly more invested in the story than in the characters. Which is a testament to how little I care about the characters. Everyone outside of Kei, Souma and Haruki and maybe even Urachi are severely underdeveloped and underutilized. And I honestly couldn't care for them either.

I'll admit the story is pretty good and overall I'd say this show is fine if you're willing to sit through monotone conversations for 24 episodes.

Damn, probably the single most underated/overlooked anime on MAL I found so far and my list is very long. It's not a masterpiece, but it has probably the best completed story of all recent animes I've watched. It's for sure a bit complicated and you need to pay a lot of attention to it, but everything makes sense and each of all the arcs we've seen were very important until the very end, which is super unique. The characters were kinda mediocore, but kinda very fitting to the setting and what they went though in a setting like this. Also Kei reminded me a lot of Light from DeathNote, those kinds are my favourite. Not sure why it doesn't have a "Psychological" tag, cause there is lot of mind stuff going on all the time.

Overall a really good 8.6/10

Amazing on a binge. Kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to the end. But i still felt the story was foolish. I get it, determinism and all, but was there really no other way for Souma?

It was overall a really good story. I do feel as thought a lot of Kei's character was forced, or at least pushed in one of the most heavy-handed ways. I don't particularly care about him, but he and all the other characters played their parts well and it worked. The plot was really interesting. It'd be cool to get an OVA or Movie to see how things are going further down the line.

I still think he should've picked Sumire though.

Obviously got better over time, and maybe it’s intentional that it is a slow burn. I don’t think that can be dismissed though. The fact that the first episode was described by some as being the worst one they’ve ever seen, and this show was dropped by so many, goes a long way in proving that this show does not deserve a perfect score.

This show is not a masterpiece. A masterpiece is a show that is engaging and impressive from the start.

Having said that, I enjoyed it a lot. It’s unique and makes you think a lot. There were many points where I was eager to find out what happened next, and often was surprised. The art, music, and sound work is all good.

Not one of my favorites but I’m glad I happened across it.

Not the most packed ending episode, but I like that it focused on those two and I'm very happy that Kei called her Souma Sumire, finally she realized she's the real one.

The OST did its job again, making the scene a little bit sad. Having said said, I was hoping for a better ending since it was basically just about Misora and Souma and we only got some images showing what the other characters were doing. From all those, my favorite definitely is Urachi's reunion, it still feels weird seeing him on Kei's side. Who sacrificed after all, was it really a cat? I hope Seika was just sleeping. And then Souma, it was sad to see her alone. Even now I still prefer her over Misora.

Overall definitely a great story and I loved these last 2 arcs, especially the last one, but it took some time to get here. At times it got confusing and I don't even know if it answered all my questions since I probably forgot some of them, but I still understood everything important so it was enjoyable. I'll probably miss this.

My 225th completed series chronologically.

For the record, I extended it a 7/10 rating.

Not a bad ending..

I just hope the "pick me up" line from Sumire didn't mean "to lock me away" like the witch. Which I don't think because the after scenes of everyone, including her, were a while later and yet she was still free. If they intended on doing that to her then it would have been immediately, going by how strictly they were with the last poor girl/woman. (wasn't even allowed to meet people for some reason)

Also.. did we get a low-key harem ending here or what? The girls fighting over who's #1 and who's #2 etc. I think we did which is what Sumire deserves after all she went through and did.


7/10 ep
8/10 ending
7.5/10 overall

I was hoping Souma was going to make Kei spend a "lifetime" with her in the dreamworld to fulfill her love before letting him go once and for all. That or she hooked up with Sakagami (power swap boy) since he seemed pretty into her. Overall, a good finale but the poor girl deserved some happiness.

I wish we got to see Urachi's parents' reactions to the current world and Kei's solution (we didn't even get to see the mom's resurrection before the reset).

Anyways, amazing show! I agree that it had a terribly slow start, but after that finale in ep 9 with bringing Souma back to life I was hooked. And everytime the puzzle pieces came togethe, *chef's kiss*. I binged the blu-rays but I can imagine the anticipation of weekly would've been hell, especially with my poor brains. The show was too damn smart, and I actually had to rewind several times an episode just to make sure I understood what was being said. And it got a little exhausting keeping up with all the seemingly minor details that weren't. But was it ever so worth it. Bravo, team!

I'll probably change it to a 10 later, but for now 9 sacred brain drains /10
