----------------------------------------
Seeing this episode, I think the show has left a weird spot.

There's still a lot of buildup but I think it did get the point at some parts. Pretty chill episode as well until the second half with the action with the trion soldiers. Yeah, classic World Trigger stuff even if it felt a bit fast. The ending just felt a bit awkward to where it left off honestly. Dang, that OP song at the end....

They adapted it almost exactly as I expected. They went a bit further but eh.

Totally called that they won't show Katori squad nor Gatlin's expedition unit. I wonder if they will go over what they skipped if the anime comes back later. And what was up with the AO stuff @_@

Arafune and Reiji are total beasts though. Always nice to have someone babysit those needy snipers :p
Death flag for Tachikawa? :O
Anyway, Hyuse finally called Youtaro senpai ;_;

Welp, Toei wasn't the best choice but it was a fun ride. 7/10 I suppose. Hoping that tweet earlier means the anime will come back.

Well, it's had its ups and downs but it was a decent run. I feel like it was kind of dumb to have an ending the way it was because it was so open but oh well. I'll be watching the sequel assuming it happens but kinda glad to take a break from this show for awhile.
Don't believe the hype.

lol~ Neighbor guy denied quickly.

KajiKaji's character visiting Arashiyama team. After hearing his conclusion, he's better taught by Hanazawa-san's character? She is like him who had hard time become stronger because of lack of trion. She refused, though.

She thinks that he can just reach the goal in two years. Strongest gunner lowered his head in order to learn more, so she thinks he should think of a way himself like him (and not just being so used to everyone's kindness).

A skill to use wires is helpful to help neighbor guy. And he just had to practice sticking the spikes on the wires on the positioned objects (Being supportive).

Neighbor guy was asked to join because his name starts with "K" (and a skilled one). She still tries so hard to recruit him, who keeps refusing her offer. It became a battle of stealing him because Sugita-san's character came.

Other neighbor countries arriving. Rank battle still continues, though, without those competitors not joining the war.

Human form trion soldiers with barriers. The neighbor guy from previous war left them, and he appreciated little guy's teaching.

OP became ED again as the series ended with 30 sec. before the battle begins.

Chibi explanation with main four under the form of "Preview" about upcoming events.

Well this was fun while it lasted. While this anime's quality suffered a bit due to the fact that it was filled with things that are typical and common in Toei productions, it was still pretty decent. 6/10.

I'll miss this series, but it really needed a break for more of the manga to come out. I really hope they do make a second season.

I like how the final episode had so much stuff in it, as a normal episode would, rather than a sappy ending.

This show really had a unique style (excepting the filler arc).

All my long-running anime ending after winter :((( (Daiya, Gintama, and now WT)

Really sad to see this go, it's been a really fun 1.5 year, World Trigger. I'm so glad I decided to pick this up, despite not actually being really excited for it when fall 2014 came around. It ended up becoming one of my favorite anime each season though. The worldbuilding is interesting, and I love the whole Trigger system and the strategies. Osamu is such a refreshing main character, I can't stress that enough. It was a lot of fun watching Takakoma-2 grow throughout the series, they're a team with great potential, but they're slowly working their way up (well not really slowly, but they mostly got to where they are because of Yuuma).

Also, despite the large cast, I found a lot of them to be fun and memorable. The current invasion is so hype, with all the top ranking border members on duty. Really glad the anime made me pick up the manga when it first began. While the animation is nowhere top-tier and there was the very obvious budget-saving techniques, it was still an entertaining ride. Will truly miss this (at least there's still the manga!). I think it would have the potential to be more popular had it not been animated by Toei...or perhaps people aren't into shounen sci-fi. please come back with a better budget, thanks

As for this episode, this was the part in the manga where I really started understand Kitora. She's definitely harsh, but everything she said made sense. The "people being too nice to you can become a burden especially with types like Osamu" showed that she understood what kind of person Osamu is. While everyone is really supportive and encouraging Osamu, she wanted to make sure that Osamu really focused on his goal, which is to have the opportunity of getting picked for the expedition, NOT to make himself be able to score points for the team. It's unrealistic at this point, and needed to really understand this, which is why she taught him spider, as way for him to maximize his helpfulness to the team. I also liked what she taught Osamu about being humble (and getting too used to people being nice), someone explained it really well in relating to Japanese culture in the manga forum.

Episode 73: To the Future

Time to talk about the final episode. Gattlin with Killer Bee's va, I lol'd. Based Izumi, bullet fool, and Ninomiya's master. Kitora's actually concerned about Osamu. Mikumo x Kitora's strong in this episode! "We'll do it. No matter what." - Strong words from Kuga. Kako's twirl from bargaining mode into forced retrieval mode was one of the highlights of this episode too. Kage called Kako "Phantom Hag" which sounds creepy for a nickname/moniker. I read on chippokenabokura's blog that her "Timer" trigger may have something to do with that. Or maybe she can instakill an opponent with her Scorpion/Teleporter trigger. Looks like Chika found a new home(Thanks Yuzuru!). Yuiga! They put Osamu's "getting excited for the next match" line on this rooftop anime-only scene which made it better, I guess. No Katori Squad introduction, but it's understandable. They removed Jin's "spoilerish" comment about Tachikawa's fate. It's awesome to watch all of the snipers working together. That "Gate Fireworks" tho... Arafune vs dogs XD. Hyuse's short flashback was missing but they've added Jin and Konami anime-only scene instead. Hyuse's grateful to his senpai, Yotaro. So Rindo's also on Tamakoma Branch building at that time?! I'm ok with that because he said something cool there. When that music started playing... That team fist bump... "Begin transmission!" - I hope that also means transmission from "first stage" to "second stage".

You did great, World Trigger anime.

Perhaps if 1/4 of every episode wasn't dedicated to recap I might have enjoyed this show more and we could have gotten further along. A lot of this show felt really half-assed and Asumu was a really obnoxious character, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the ride.

It would be nice to see the show continue considering how much was left unresolved (and the introduction of a new saga in the final episode), but I won't be disappointed if it didn't. I enjoyed the show, but not enough to care about a lack of resolution.

ill miss the show, the strategy and combat was definitely the best.
"My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where the villas are, and i am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and i get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but i occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get 8 hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last checkup."

this was the first show I started since I joined MAL..that is this was one of the first Anime to be on my currently watching list that too for more than an year...so this one has a special place in my memory...

this show made me rethink all the combats that I have ever seen anywhere...
also it brutally showed that one cannot just surpass others just with their power of will...looking forward for next season..

Not one of the best anime but one of the most consistently enjoyable. Was a great anime to relax to. Now I won't be able to watch it. =/ Such a shame. It felt like an odd place to leave it but what can you do. I hope they make another season ASAP.

Right when it started to get interesting. But, it's better than filler, I guess. They were pretty close to the manga so that was expected.
Hopefully, we'll get a new season in 2017 !

Besides the animation half the time and the pacing this show has been one of the better things I've seen in awhile. All the characters are so likable and have their own personalities which make them stand out unlike other shows, tactical fighting instead of insane power-ups are always a plus and just the atmosphere of the show itself, so laid-back and has it's suspense as well

Deserves overall an 8/10 but I think I love this to much so I'm giving it a 10



On the topic of the episode Ema x Chika confirmed best couple, so cute together to be honest

Guess we have to wait quite some time before we get to see Reiji's Full Arms animated. Well hope WT comes back with enough source material and more budget.

WT is one of the most balanced shounens out there, no random power-up or friendship and willpower (those are good in there own right and i don't hate those) and the anime was well paced and very faithful to the source.

It's been a great ride. I already read the manga, but it's still a nice addition.

It's pretty weird after I realize that the current rating is 7.8 rather than around 7. Because at the start of the series, it's under 7, and I'm not really pay attention to the rating lately. Nice, I guess.

Because people have different taste and ratings are subjective. Stop asking pointless question.

WT is a pretty well done shounen that avoids the cliches of random power-up or power of friendship and feelings etc and shows a very realistic and balanced approach to hard work and power levels. The world building and plot is decent, the action is pretty good, the characters are mostly likable, the weak characters are actually weak instead of having some secret OP ability, the character development and power-ups are pretty realistic and believable.......well that's just some of the reasons that makes WT good and likable to people.

There def. should be season 2 , why would they end it when the fun and the hype just comes along? that's very sad but the anime is way too cool. This anime would've been the best if people would treat it properly not like NARUTO or DRAGON BALL Z ... these 2 animes have copied their background stories which is dumb. As i said before World Trigger is a special kind of anime and cool because what they're using to fight and how much strategy goes along let's not forget about side effect. They have fun sometimes with the guy that is lying(forgot his name) to KONAMI from Tanakoma , the weird faces that they make. This was the best of all animes ever watched

Bit of a cliffhanger ending, which is mildly annoying, but I guess as they said they wanted to drum up some interest to get a second season funded. And of course they have to wait a while to let the source material get far enough ahead.

Have to say, while this show started out a bit weak, it really grew on me, and I'm looking forward to that second season.

Hopefully they have shorter recaps next season though. Although they haven't been too bad recently, but possibly I'm just acclimatised to them now...

it was a great ep and all and finally got to see more Kitora

but man it sucks that it was the last ep, and at such a high moment.. though it cant be helped because its caught up with the manga and would have sucked if it pulled a filler hell like other series have done

but im sure a season 2 will happen in the near future we'll just have to wait about a year or 2 before it happens though buuut i'll be worth the wait imo

but for now i'll finally start on the manga

As underrated as the show was, I enjoyed it immensely. It was pretty much the one constant show for me in the last 1 and a half years. It really did end at a weird place though, so I don't see how it'll be possible for them to bring it back without a refresher somehow.

Still, all else considered, I'd still want them to bring it back so that I can see the end of the story.
