It's a pity we didn't get to see Kyouhei in bad-ass-mode but it was nevertheless a good episode to wrap the show up. The preview really got me excited tbh.

This anime would have been so much better if it ran 2 cour. As expected, the ending episode was just rushed. If it had more, it can expand as well.

I did enjoy this series, but the fanservice loli thing seems kinda...forced. The ending of this episode was the only part the title referred to...so kinda wtf. Hoping the next season is successful enough to get through.

Overall rating: 7.5/10

it seems like the link between utao is cut, and either it has to be reinitialized or went back to Kyohei and he just doesnt realize it yet, that would explain why it didnt move.

Also can anyone make a GIF of the ending of ep 13 of Kyohei standing in front of the seki with the blue eyes please. i cant find it and im not sure on how to make it.

also for some reason this anime is the one i was mostly waiting to see every week this season, its not like it was action packed but for some reason i very very much enjoyed watching it. I was hopeing for a longer battle but you cant always get what you want.

Nine episodes are gone out of 13, so... four episodes to finish this story will definitely be rushed. Well unless they are planning on a second season.


Yeah... second season. All in all, I enjoyed this anime, it was very fun to watch. Specially for its quirky facial expressions. 8/10.

Facial expressions of this show: FTW
I enjoyed the show, it wasn't good as I expected but not bad either, for me Hibino is just a airhead with boobies, but Kyouhei got what he wanted, a decent 8/10 too.
I think I'll go read the manga before a second season, but the sales are bad, I mean, bad. DVDs are fail already, and BD isn't that attractive too. We'll have to wait and see.

face palm at him and Aki laughing at the end. just go back to the village with him, bros before hos.

I still hate cowtits, and sighed at them kissing. she's just not interesting, the only worse character is annoying Utao. he should only be with the awesome Mahiru.

doesn't feel like much happened here, waiting for 2nd season.

If we're talking best of the season, the OP was, without a doubt, the best of the season; stylish visuals, well-directed, great song. That's for sure. Even Usagi Drop's OP paled in comparison. And Dantalian's.


I'm not going to say anything too harsh about Kamisama Dolls, as Brains Base is one of my favorite studios(they clearly focused more of their efforts on Penguindrum and Natsume S3, no doubt they had their work cut out for them with 3 shows in one season!), but in short, the series wasn't able to reach the heights of episode 7 ever again. Whatever I may think of this show, that was a fantastic episode. Overall though, 6/10.

A second season would be nice, and I'd be lying if I said the teaser scenes weren't intriguing, but the DVD sales have been abysmal so far. So...who knows? I'm gonna say probably not.

read your comments guys.
what the heck?
you licked this episode and series because you got a promise for a story continuation in 2nd season?
Basically nothing has happened in this season. And you are all looking for 2nd season.
It is just a marketing trick which got you hooked - they promise you to finish unfinished story. And because you want to see the guy fighting (or those over-sized boobs again), which did NOT happen in this season, you like this season?

No finished story. Very weak character development. Much promise, though.

I amsorry but a lot happened.

This show was very focused on character development, lots of it. Most of the show was character, especialy Kyohei, development.

goin gby how characters developed and their realism, this show comes first in this whole year as having most realistically developed characters.

It literally defied and denied any sort of mary sue characters that plague anime market nowadays.
It did not have any kaminas kira yamatos or other mary sue perfections anime fanbase enjoys and that was utterly refreshing.

I could care less about kyohei fighting or not. His character and how he changed through the show is enough for me to care about next season.

This anime is not one of my favorites for this season, but I kinda enjoyed it at the end. If there will be a second season I will definitely watch it. I think this anime has a lot of potential and maybe it will get better in another season.
Overall 7/10 for me.

Hope there is a second season soon. It'll be pretty stupid having ended it like that and no second season.

Looks like Kyouhei was controlling Kukuri whilst fighting against the other kakashi. Maybe kukuri doesn't move anymore cause after that battle, it somehow switched back to following kyouhei? anyways, if there's going to be a 2nd season, seems like kyouhei will be a seki again and fight against that monster. i really wanna see that. i really wanna see kyouhei go crazy hahaha!

overall it was an ok series. lots of loose ends and a lot happened within the the 13 episodes. my main dislike would be hibino though, lol. she's an outsider, and annoying. 7/10 for me

I'm sorry but it was an anticlimactic ending which failed to even properly set upwhat we SHOULD be expecting next. The only thing we got in the end was an out of nowhere spoiler of Kyouhei's return as Kukuri's Sekai and Hyuga being a creep. It clearly felt like this story was adapted too early in the manga's lifetime (for a manga that takes so long to develop) and since there's only about 2 volumes available to adapt now we'll likely be sitting in our thumbs for anything resembling a proper climax to this story.

It as not out of nowhere.

IT as set up as early as when he unconsciously took over Kukuri to absorb Utao's twin's attack. And the whole season itself focused on his reasoning of not being a seki and him overcoming it.

The whole season built up to him facing and accepting himself, every episode had themes connected to his state of mind(considering the seki trio all are differently psychologically broken people suffering from cptsd. ). The whole show so far was a road of his reasons and his character development. It was all about him accepting the side of his he saw in Aki

Hmm... a lot of spoilers for the 2nd season in the ending and the part after it. So that naked lady becomes the Seki of that monster Kakashi.
Anyway, it was not really a conclusion, but an okay way to end it while we can wait for the continuation. Good though that they solved it a bit with Aki. I don't like Hibino, so I don't really have an opinion about that.

I really enjoyed this series idk why everyone gave it low scores and dropped it. Personally I liked protagonist Kyouhei especially when he goes insane.. awesome. I also liked the story and cant wait for a second season. I give it a 8.5 although I rated it a 10 so it would boost its low 7.

I also thought he took control of it to stop Utao's twin too. I mean it pretty easy to pick up on that it was him, I hope everyone realized that. oh sry for the double post

Pretty good ending IMO. Kukuri going crazy and destroying Magatsuhi was pretty intense lol, then another flashback of the crazy past. Wow, Utao doesn't look like she's aged at all ... I would have expected her to be a tiny child o_O
I have to admit the kiss scene was pretty good. Especially after Kyohei woke up and hugged Hibino XD I knew it was coming and didn't want it but it was well done :P
Oh Aki, how awesome you are XD Although I got kind of confused when they started laughing lol O_O Oh and totally second season is happening, right ...? I mean, that part at the end ...
Well overall I actually really enjoyed this, everything was pretty well done and unexpected action, loads of humour, and some crazy characters XD Animation was good, I really did like the music too ... come on, second season is happening right? :P 8/10

It was a decent show but episodes 7 and 10 were awesome. My main complaints are Hibino's breats, Kyouhei and Utao when they act annoying. But I totally loved Aki, Mahiru and Kouhirou. They were the best. I give this 7/10.

Wow this series surprised me, I thought it was just going to be an average anime but I loved it, I'm giving it an 8/10. If it had a second season I would probably rate it higher. This episode was great to, finally we see the romance being developed (awesome kiss), and it appears as if Kyouhei got his powers back...man those few last seconds with Kyouhei being all bad ass and how he was about to fight the monster were awesome! It made me want a second season more and more! To bad it probably wont be happening since from what people told me this anime sold like garbage, I don't know why but this always happens to me, I get hooked on a series and all of a sudden its cancelled. :(

Although I'm glad the anime was made so that I can follow it up by getting into the manga (which is getting slowish English releases), it should've been left until there was enough content for a 26-episode series. If it's true that 7/10 volumes were covered by S1, it was WAY too hopeful of Brain's Base to expect build-up alone to create enough interest for a second season.

The majority of the series was spent on almost slice-of-lifeish characterisation bits that added little, such as the trip during the typhoon. It was only ever during the short 'n complete backstory segments that the show was able to shine. I grew attached to the characters, such as the adorable sister and stalkering princess, but there just wasn't enough of a main plot-thread beyond people using dolls to fight... without anyone dying in the process.

The lead went from a coward who was happy to leave everything to his lilttle sister and run away to a slightly more determined coward by the end, with a teaser promising what was obvious from the start: that the series would REALLY get going once the doll became his again. But we're never going to be able to see that in animated form when S1 was talky-talky without enough walky-walky. A very frustrating situation when the series has so much promise.

Yay for season 2 :D Enjoyed watching this series. But the ending after the credits interests me. Will Kyohei become a seki again? What about Utao? D:


Kyohei can definitely move Kukuri now at least. You can tell who is controlling a kakashi by the song it plays when doing the action. Remember Utao's song goes something like "lah di dah lah di dah." When Kurkuri goes crazy, it played the same song that was played in the Kyohei flash backs when he was a seki. Also I think it was Kyohei that saved three from the giant lightening beam with that special reflect move Kukuri has.

Anyways, I enjoyed this anime, hoping to see season 2.

That was actually quite a decent ending, it was rather open as the main plot is still not finished but damn this sure was interesting! I do hope there will be a sequel on it perhaps but well in the end they managed to put everything together quite well and they even included a proper romance for the characters!

Good anime in general! 8/10

I only recently finshed the show And I really did enjoy it, nothing against Hibinos cup size. it was ridicules but she was pretty much the only girl like that so props for variety.. but OMG do I hate THE ENDING... the episode was fine the interaction bit at the episode end nice and Kyohei's inner monologe to Aki nice.. but than that freaking sequel bait after the ending song that piece of SH*** that reminded me of the after credits bits the ongoing shows play about what you'll see in the next episode... without that it would be great I'd know I need to read the manga to get more or hope for s2 but no they had to go out of their way with the typical "next on.." when there wasn't a SINGLE EPISODE that had it before... damn am I pissed at that.. Seriously possibly the worse sequel bait I ever saw

Plot was all over the place, it was surprisingly disturbing how irrelevant Aki became as the anime progressed. The only two characters that actually went through character development were Aki and Kyouhei, the rest were the exact same as when they were introduced. Probably would have been better if they didn't decide to introduce Mahiru with 4 episodes left, from there it was just a standard typical romance anime between a guy, a jealous old friend, and an overly understanding friend, only with flying machines.

The characters alone were a bit annoying, it felt like all any of them knew how to do was whine and whine some more, it was overkill when Mahiru was introduced.

4/10, should have just stuck with the Aki plot, instead of the Mahiru arc..it was hard to take this anime seriously even when it did get serious

The kiss scene made me bump up the score by one, very unexpected and nice to see. But to be honest this was all over the place. Though I loved the music, art, concept, and Utao was adorable. The drama was really bad and I didnt care much for the other characters. I think this would have been better off as only a comedy/action anime with no real drama. Aki was too damn edgy and that final scene of them laughing was so damn cheesy.

Seems like they were really banking on good sales for it to end like that, they basically announced a sequel but axed it after it sold less than 2k per volume. I would have liked a sequel since it seems Kyouhei was about to go full bad ass and there would be more romance.

6/10
This anime also made me realize that I really dont like Nobuhiko Okamoto's voice.

From the ending I assume they intended for a sequel, wether it will happen who knows, just hope they replace whoever was responsible for the animation w/e his or her job title is.. whoever who did the horrible work which is mostly noticeble in this episode after the kiss, focus on his hands they look 1 dimensional.

What was that ending...? I was expecting Kyouhei to go berserk (and control Kukuri??-my guess-) or at least I hoped for a more concrete ending. This is a bad ending even for a cliffhanger ending -__- At least in this episode got to see some development between Kyouhei and Hibino...not that I like Hibino in particular.

Overall, I think this series has its good points, such as the character developments (though only for the limited several), though to be honest I watch just to see Kyouhei control a kakashi again or to go back to the village for some action (like a fight with that four-legged kakashi).

I cant say I truly enjoyed watching the series though, it felt like I was just watching just to see the ending. I think I would've enjoyed it a lot more if the plot had developed further (which is where I see the last few episodes heading towards..?). Although this series would probably be one of those forgettable ones for me, it is not that unbearably bad either, it;s just one of those series you watch on a whim (as I did lol).

And that after credit scene is such a tease! We get to see a glimpse of Kyouhei as a seki and who is that girl? :O But it's been years since 2011 and we have yet to see a sequel, chances of us seeing more Kyouhei the seki seems pretty low.. u___u
