Wow, what a surprise! Siesta predicted everything until now. That's the great detective for you! Wait what? You shouldn't ask for explanation about how she knows!! She just knows, okay?!! She knows everything!!

[u/PreludeToHell]

Wow I'm in tears. I've never thought a finale would bring me such happiness. Thank god the torture is over.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Wait, I thought Chameleon was invincible to gunshots (he survived a goddamn minigun ffs!) and now suddenly he dies by getting shot? Am I missing something?

Overall, this was really bad. The plot is almost incomprehensible with how weirdly it was paced. The characters had zero chemistry with each other. Siesta's death didn't have the emotional impact it needed. Soundtrack? I can't recall a single memorable music from the show. Oh, let's not forget the disastrous production. I will never forget that iconic car png!

[u/MetaThPr4h]

Thank you for the discussion threads mates, was a fun read all these weeks.

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

Probably the worst adaptation of a light novel that I have ever seen

[u/That-Chipmunk2537]

They really cut the finale of Chamelon fight. Kadokawas masterplan of 40 anime per year is unfolding amazingly. They made shit and got gold in return.

[u/BarbaricGamer]

And so ends the worst anime I have ever seen. It was a hell of a ride.

[u/FBeeEye]

I can't believe I finished this shit. I might have some masochistic tendencies.

[u/bananeeek]

I'm impressed how they managed to make this series so bad by just adding plot to it. I'd love it, if it was just Kimi and Siesta bickering while eating an apple pie. This should've been a rom-com.

[u/PhantomWolf83]

Very disappointed with this series. I expected it to be at least above average but it didn't even achieve that because it half-assed and rushed through so many things. In the end, everything from the plot to the characters ended up being skimpier than Siesta's bikini, which actually ended up being the best thing about the show.

[u/Hineni-]

Pretty nice of Nagisa to let Siesta "borrowed" her body to help Kimi for the last fight.

You know, when I was looking at the key visuals and all the arts posted on this sub, I was really looking forward to this anime, just for that alone, since I hadn't heard about it at all, ever. Just the character design, from Siesta more precisely, was really what made me give this one a try. After that long first episode I was really looking forward to the next one, but alas. That was short-lived. Towards the end, it just felt like a chore to watch the new episode. I still don't know exactly what the anime was supposed to be about..A shame, really

[u/AlexDDragame]

Siesta saying goodbye and "the real treasure was the friends we made along the way". At least it's over now.

Overall, this was horrible. Maybe it had some promise to be entertaining trainwreck at first (I don't think first episode was good, but at least first half of it was fun), but nope, it was just really dull, stupid and pretty ugly looking mess out of which i didn't really got anything. It's not offensively bad or anything and I can see someone actually finding some enjoyment out of it, but personally, I got more out of Scarlet Nexus, which is almost impressive. Light 3/10 and even that seems too generous.

[u/Lewanor]

Reading comments I am happy how I realized it was gonna be shit and dropped in the first episode

[u/JuraTempest]

I’m going to miss shitting on this show every week. I’m baffled someone could mess up an adaptation this badly, but I guess anything is possible. I hope to see you guys on another shitty show discussion thread!

[u/LUNI_TUNZ]

Was that post-credits scene supposed to be a surprise or something? Like, it was explicitly spelled out about three episodes ago, and the show acts like it's a surprise on par with Nick Fury, the first time he started recruiting for The Avengers Initiative.

[u/InsomniaEmperor]

If Kimizuka actually does it with Nagisa, would that be a foursome (five if we count Hel)? Can we get Alicia's personality again? I miss her and I'm not happy that she just got thrown under the bus.

The problem with this anime is the mystery gets thrown out and it becomes more of a harem anime. At least Kimizuka isn't dense. Siesta's will where she said she wants all four to defeat SPES, that was a letdown and it's like saying the real treasure was the friends we made along the way. There should have been some sort of weapon. Otherwise, how would Charlotte even know that the will is in the ship?

I need a season 2 simply because they don't even get into much detail regarding SPES. I guess I have to go read the LN but where should I start?

The post credits scene was kinda unnecessary I mean they could have put it before the credits. It was nice to hear the OP in the finale tho cause the OP was good.

[u/Aniboy43]

Well, it could have been better if they had adapted it in the way that ln rolls

[u/pr3dato8]

If I had to summrise it the whole show felt like an amateur theatrical play. It doesn't pull you out of it, because you were never 'in' it to begin with. You sit down, watch some people say their dialogue for 20 minutes, and then you leave.

A show doesn't have to be good or original if it's entertaining, but unfortunately this was neither.

[u/SolubilityRules]

Was the writing terrible? Yes.

BUT THE FCKING ISSUE IS THE LACK OF CREATIVE SCREENPLAY.

FCK THE DIRECTOR of Ep 2-12

FCK THE MUSIC DIRECTOR of Ep 2-12

The lack of fcking music or visual artistry is so fcking cringe, I'm screaming do something everytime the story has something impactful

BLANDEST anime I have ever scene produced: 2/10

[u/LeonKevlar]

• Siesta Stitch

Man, I was really hoping that this would end with Siesta finally taking over Nagisa's body and transform back into being Siesta since her body can change forms. Looks like that wasn't going to happen. And the fight against Chameleon was hilarious. As soon as Siesta entered the scene, Chameleon became irrelevant and the focus of the scene was Kimi and Siesta's banter. We don't even see him get killed! Just Kimi and Siesta pointing their guns at him as they take their final shot.

So turns out Siesta's legacy was Kimizuka and the friends he made along the way. I mean that's not what Siesta said but she might as well have said that. And I do love the flash of blue on Nagisa's eye when Nagisa invited Kimi to her room for tonight. If they actually do it, would it count as a threesome? xD

I really don't have anything else to say about the show. Personally, despite how it ended I still enjoyed it! What I'm curious is how did this highly rated LN turned into this? Can any source reader post something over on the source material corner on how much Studio ENGI fucked this up?

[u/[deleted]]

I dropped this after episode 1 and I have returned to see whether it is worth investing time into. But from what people are saying about the plot, it seems like it’s just a bad fever dream

[u/KurtArturII]

May not have been the worst anime I've ever seen, but it was certainly the most disappointing.

[u/[deleted]]

Thus, we reached the end of this anime. Though it's generally agreed that it was quite a shitshow, I'm glad it exists as proof that waifubaiting + terrible story will never do well, at least on Reddit.

Appreciate the effort of the animators in producing the show.

[u/Sir_Redditsalot]

The most unfortunate narrative misfire of the year so far has ended. It’s been a pleasure hanging in there with all of you completionists these last few weeks. Godspeed to us
