| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Uguuu... confusing episode. o.o Lots of information was thrown at us... Heat is Seratiido's brother and Seratiido isn't Rahzel's real father... such family problems. And then Rahzel's real father shows up, but is killed by a mysterious stranger? Goodness me. While it was certainly rushed, it was a pretty good final episode. There absolutely has to be a second season, though, with that cliffhanger. Hahah, Seratiido and Heat singing Happy Birthday was hilarious! Alzeid being ignored was pretty amusing too. The ending was so sweet with Alzeid and Rahzel~! Rahzel jumping and Alzeid catching her was my favorite part in the entire episode. I loved it. :D Overall: This series could very well have been amazing. The characters are all entertaining, interesting, and have great chemistry with one another. If the series had been twice as long, the events more clear, and the plot less jumbled, it very well would have been an 8 or even a 9 in my book. As it is, it gets a solid 7. |

| That was a rush of information o__o I felt attacked! Instead of a final episode that actually felt like an introduction to the plot of an anime. Crazy. Now there HAS to be a second season. I want more Alzeid/Rahzel love!!!! That random part with the sheep made me laugh rlly hard. It was the most random scene I have seen in a while. I loved this anime even though it was so bloody short! I feel like giving it a 9/10 but i dunno! I must consider this matter o.o; |
     |
| Wow, that was...random and confusing! Although I did love the part with Seratiido and Heat and the whole birthday thing XD But ah, with this episode, I'm gonna have to lower my score to a 7 =/ I hope there's a second season. And like Ria said, if it had been longer and clearer, it could've been much better. |

Ria said: While it was certainly rushed, it was a pretty good final episode. There absolutely has to be a second season, though, with that cliffhanger. Exactly how I feel, about it being rushed and about a 2nd season. I felt myself quite muddled, and Heat's intentions, and relations with Rahzel, confuse me more and more! Oh well, but what was with that shop owner and the sheep? Just thought I'd ask... |
 |
| yea, instead of wrapping everything up, they introduced some new characters and thickens the plot to Rahzel's story .. therefore, there *must* be a second season (plus, I want to see the Rahzel-Alzeid relationship develope more). Overall, a decent series but the manga is probably better |

| HAHA!!! On the FINAL episode, the title begins to mean another thing! This is NUTS! I love this show! That scene on the railroad tracks is one of the best I've ever seen in any anime, EVER. I cried, yeah, hell yeah I cried. Second season or I kick some ass. And ANOTHER THING. If this anime's soundtrack doesn't come out soon, I will go completely insane. The instrumentals in this show were among the best all season. That main theme that usually plays in just violin is to die for. Hearing it with vocals in this final episode only made me ache even more. |

| hmm i smell a second season :) |

rh1ngo said: hmm i smell a second season :) i agree or else they would not have ended so abruptly and in addition what is with the mystery man saying that the game has not began???? |
| AS all of you have said - The last scene screams second season. I enjoied the first, looking forward to the second. |
 |
| I was confused, that's for sure! The guy says travels are over, training has begun? And why are all the people in the village dead? And why didn't Alzeid go? I thought it was really abrupt when Rahzel says, well, it was nice, we'll write. Why didn't Alzeid tell Rahzel about her real father. Why was her father taking her away? Was her adoptive father some kind of prince? I thought leaving her (blindfolded?) teddy bear to rush to the back of the train was a sign of leaving the past behind or maybe just of how important her friends really were to her. Why didn't she use magic when jumping off the train? (Or was that the, "I'm not going to rely on magic." thing.) Why was the mysterious stranger buying a birthday gift, and was that gift on the floor of the deserted hut at the end his gift or Rahzel's real father's gift? Questions, questions--argh! |
 |
| It was a fun show. If there is a second season, the ending was decent if a bit rushed. No second season and the ending epic fails. I'm looking forward to a second season announcement. |
| 世界は美しくなんかない。 そしてそれ故に、美しい |
| christ, that was quite a load. i guess they are planning a second season. overall it gets a 6 from me. |
 |
| Ah good.. but the ending was quite rushed. Hoping for a second season then.. I did like this series though, more than I thought I would. gg Alzeid + I loved the insert song as well |
| Ehh...what just happened...I was thoroughly confused.... 6/10 for me... |
     |
| I kinda feel like they rushed the ending a bit.. tried too hard to cram everything into the last 5 minutes... oh well... wasn't expecting much out of this anime anyways... 6/10 |

| yea.. confusing epi.. there must be a second season Q_Q!!! I want more RahzelxAlzeid!! xD Mh.. wanna know where this strange guy at the end were... >,>" damn.. |
   |
| That was great. :D Would be awesome to get a second season some day. Really enjoyed the characters and the humor of this anime, 8/10. |

| Yea... there definitly has to be a season 2. I mean, that was such an obvious cliffhanger.... it would be like Code Geass without giving us the R2. XP AND WHERE IS MY ALZEID X RAHZEL CONFESSION???!!! I wanted them to say something rather than friend, friend, and more friend! XP *goes and replaces the word friend with lover* Man you two are slow!! XP |
     |
| really great end I have to say. A bit weird, random and confusing at the start but the end was well done. The anime get's a full 8/10 from me.  Curiositeiten, hub? |

 |
| the sheep part was just weird. but yes... i need MORE rahzel x alzeid lol theyre so cute. cmon.... the entire train scene was a set up for a kiss, or at least some confession.. but nooooo anyways... there should be a season two. btw... any insight in why animes like to end with the main character saying "Bang" i know that the end of Cowboy Bebop and Black Lagoon (P2), the main characters both said bang. must be some kind of trend... |
 |
| The last 3 eps were so much better than the ones before. Great ending! Normally open-endings bug me, but the whole series was pretty random, so I think we shouldn't think too much about it. A love-scene with confession or kiss, would have been nice, but I was happy enough that they won't part ways. Maybe there is a 2nd season (would be great) but if not, I can live with it, too. After all it's not about story here, but about characters. And we had plenty of this! Never seen so many cool characters in one place. Greatest trio of all times! :) 8/10 overall, but the last three epsiodes were clearly a 9,479/10,000. Edit: When I think about it, it's pretty funny. I really had a problem with many endings in the latest shows: "Shana 2, True Tears, Clannad" - but I was really happy with this ending. There were many unanswered questions, but it's better than to die from boredom in the last episode, because nothing cool happens. They had a rather great conversation and it was thrilling until the end. |

| the guy who picked her up in the forest wasn't her dad.. it seems he was the guy with red hair who killed her real dad.. God.. i want another season of this anime.. at the end i thught.. "oh.. it's a trick.. and now i will see the summary for the next ep" but there wasn't one ><! season 2 plz |
     |
| That sort of ending just screams second season... Fall/Winter season? |
| I really enjoyed this show and it was quite the sleeper hit of the winter season. With an ending like that though there has to be a second season. |
| Now I'm really curious as to what exactly the red-headed guy did to rahzel back then. I have some ideas as to what he did (read the manga), but I wonder what direction they will take it in the Anime next season. Seems like both Hatenkou Yugi and Spice and Wolf decided to leave the door wide open to second seasons. |
 |
| Wow the ending to this is so hard to understand it feels so unfinished...hopefully they make a 2nd season. |
| the introduction of the red hair guy feels like a hint of a second season. |
 |
| luv the train part~~ this series is soo interesting and always an episode will leave me with a strong sad or happy feeling (kinda remind me of Mushishi in some way), i just can't get enough of Alzeid and Rahzel!! >_< gotta pick up the manga soon~~ |
| it left you thinking a second season. Rahzel, Alzeid and the buff guy is up for another adventure. I did like the train part finally Alzeid starts talking and making a move also when he saved her from Solesta slicing rahzel. whats up with red hair guy?... came out of nowhere! but overall i like each episode something different can be sad but you end with a smile when them three hold hands togeather and walk on forward. |
 The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven. |
taintedxlove said: They should have introduced him back during the Solesta episodes, like they sorta did in the manga. Would have eased off the "Huh!?" feeling a bit.whats up with red hair guy?... came out of nowhere! |
|
| stingy ppl giving it a 6/10 i think this anime was short and sweet and achieved in 10 episodes alot more than most other animes do. i think the ending wasnt rlly an ending its pretty obvious that its the intro to the second season or atleast an OVA. either way im looking forward to that. Hatenkou Yuugi was one of the few animes that was able to make me laugh hard and in the same episode made my eyes water sometimes even both at the same time. well that said i think this anime deserves a well earned 9/10 from me. |
      |
| If only this anime got a better animation studio. It could have been so much better, it really could have. Oh well... I gotta start the manga sometime in the future. And ofcourse, a second season is needed. (oh studio deen, why could you have not made this a 13 episode series with a second season, or a 26 or so episode series alltogether). Studio deen has really been stuffing up lately. The last couple of episodes raised my score from a 5 to a 6, then a 7. Thou ultimately, this show should stay a 6, i will be generous and leave it as a 7/10. It was enjoyable, even thou it could have been so much better. And Rahzel is <3 |

| I love this anime, have seen lot of good anime, this is 10 of 10 BUT: i hate the way of informations in it. too many at once. i hope for 2nd seasson. the realationship between the main charas was perfect! not this typical shy girl, but a funny way to comunicate between a boy and a girl. very funny comments... i want more, more, more!!! :-) |
Kruh sa uzatvara, ale mna to netrapi - povedalo avangardne kruzidlo a dalej rysovalo stvorce... |
| What a series. I still don't know how I feel about the fact that Heat was never properly introduced. He just appeared and stayed ever since the beginning. But this turned out to be a lot better than I had expected. I was actually very skeptical in the beginning when I saw that the series was a) only ten episodes and b) the main girl was very young. Honestly, I like how they don't push the romance. She's only fourteen (fifteen at the end) after all so it would be very weird if they really went into the love aspect. It was very entertaining as a whole though. The characters were just awesome from the start, very consistent and I love how Alzeid, even though he's one of those cold characters, he has his moments like when he let Romario sit on his shoulders and such. I'd love for a second season since I'm not much of a manga reader. Plus, the manga version isn't complete anyway so reading it would still be incomplete. Overall, this series was great. I love the relationship the three share and how they always look out for each other. Second season, hopefully. :] |
 |
| Interesting series. Has potential, but I feel that the anime was simply an advertisement of sorts to get more people to read the manga storyline, as they seem to have deviated quite a bit from the story in the manga. I'd like to read the manga, but it doesn't seem like much has been translated and I can't seem to find english releases. |
| To be honest... this series is major fail for me. Why did it stop there when there's so much more manga? I haven't read the manga, but it may be 10x better than what the anime, with it being able to continue the story and all. |
 |
| Well that was good enough for a 7/10 First episodes were boring and when it was getting better it ends. Good thing i liked RahzelxAlzeid... im considering reading the manga |
 |
| I want a second season! It was a masterpiece, overall. Yes, sometimes story was so slow but still wonderful. And yes, sometimes animation got worse but this is Studio DEEN's fault. So, because of this little faults, I'll give this series 9/10. About the ending, Alzeid's present was so impressive that I'm laughing like crazy right now. Ah really, just when the two of them started to get used to each other... It shouldn't end like this and I think this series should have been 26 episodes or at least should have a second season. |
 |
| I really liked the last episode I really hope there will be a 2nd season. I wasn't expecting this anime to be good but it was after all. it gets a 7/10 from me |
| in the end is when it's better...the rest of episodes is just boring |
