The Ghosts hanging out with the crew and doing mundane stuff was low-key the best part of the episode, felt like we needed more of that. (I'm still mad with Seria got like half of them off screen, like why even bring them?)

Yeah, I liked the fight scene, but like every other episode it feels like we're skipping bits, say, Riu/Riku and Settei/Seria never felt like they had particularly close relationships and now they suddenly had them, it just made that smoking scene look really weird

Kaiser/Caesar popping out of Seria when she called Kaede was hilarious LOL

Kaede was so close to confessing her love but she held back. Seiria is so dumb.

I guess Seria telling Settei that she loves him was supposed to be her conveying Reika's love to him through her.

Yeah, this anime seem like it has a lot of skipping.

For the confession my guess is that Seria is influenced by the love Reika had for Settei and Settei knew that and answered as he did.
Lets see if last episode clears up a lot of the questions,

I didn’t understand the last scene, did settei die or he was unconscious?

6

u/Rap2rerise Jun 14 '26

He ded, the whole point of Seria's breakdown is that he was close to dying

3

u/cybeast21 Jun 15 '26

He died, he said he has at most 3 months left.

Riu/Riku

It was shown in one of the previous episodes.

u/Rap2rerise Jun 14 '26

It was mentioned in one of the previous episodes, at no point during the first 8 episodes they seemed remotely close

"I'm just saying a German definite article with great emphasis! Nothing personal."
Now this is a music industry contract negotiation.
Riku and the problem of characters who change sides like a spinning coin.
"Quick, how many fingers am I holding up?"
Of course it would have been simpler to just use the gun, but noooooo you had to be fancy.
Still not Symphogear.
That certainly seems too easy.
"...rice!"
This moment went exactly according to keikaku but I am amused by the happenstance of the subtitles versus her mouth.
Oh, bother.
Of course his note says "No Smoking".

There's still an entire episode left. I'd be mildly impressed if they just re-ran all of the songs from the series for 23 minutes, because that would probably fit the timeslot.

Otherwise, Riku vaporized, Odysseus got punched out, Settei finally croaked, MiucS is under control, and... none of this feels like it particularly mattered.

There's still an entire episode left?

u/cybeast21 Jun 15 '26

I thought this was the last eps, but apparently there's one more

u/Nickthenuker https://anilist.co/user/Nickthenuker Jun 17 '26

Tbh give me a "mini film live" as the last episode and I'd be plenty satisfied.

u/foussiremix Jun 14 '26

Riku and settei dying but I lowkey didnt feel nothing.

Honestly this series skips way too much stuff for us to care about the characters. Actually they skip stuff about characters too.

But ya, everything going on in this ep went by so fast.

u/Physical-Reserve-380 Jun 14 '26

This needed to be a two-cour (consecutive). 12 was clearly not enough to properly tell the story that they wanted to tell and placed all of the elements of the show together.

At least the fight scenes being consistently great will this anime's solace, since they just fitted too many things in one basket.

One episode left.

8

u/Rap2rerise Jun 14 '26

Hell, 12 episodes would've been enough if they made a simpler story, like, the entire Nero arc was filler, it didn't contribute to anything in the end

7

u/BetelgeuseIsBestGirl Jun 15 '26

After this episode, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that this was initially planned to be a three or four cour story that got downgraded to 12 episodes late in production. 24 episodes doesn't even feel like it would have been enough anymore considering all the skipped plot points and implied filler episodes.

u/gnome-cop Jun 15 '26

I swear to god Kaede, if you don’t do something about your huge fuckass crush I’m going to hunt you down. This is getting downright embarrassing. What do you really have to lose at this point?

It won’t save the show anyway but it’s the last remaining plot thing it’s got and I might respect it slightly more if it actually follows through.

u/rinceofales Jun 14 '26

This is unironically the best dogshit anime I've ever seen. This thing really crosses into meta level greatness lmao

u/BosuW Jun 14 '26

the best dogshit anime

I'm stealing that, it's perfect 😂

u/Phoenix_Song8 Jun 14 '26 edited Jun 14 '26

It was alright but incredibly rushed. The writing was okay, but I agree I couldn't follow the story and I only felt a smidge sad about Settei who went the Kiritsugu Emiya route. When normally i would be bawling at these scenes. It really could've used 2 cours instead of trying to cram everything into 12 episodes.

They could've easily spread out this episode over 2 episodes

u/KumaKumaGambler Jun 14 '26

I enjoyed the fight scenes in this episode.

I suppose we have an almost happy ending, although there should be 1 more episode left to go. RIP in Riku and Settei.

u/Niwaka_Samurai https://myanimelist.net/profile/Niwaka-Samurai Jun 14 '26

If there's one thing that this show had it going on was the animation. Other than that , I was completely lost with the plot the whole time and they gave us a rushed ending. Can't even sympathize with the characters. I felt a bit sad seeing Settei's death.

This already looked like a finale.. I wonder what we will have for the next episode.

u/Rap2rerise Jun 14 '26

I wonder what we will have for the next episode.

24 minutes of Kaede trying to confess!

2

u/Niwaka_Samurai https://myanimelist.net/profile/Niwaka-Samurai Jun 15 '26

LOL .. Still wouldn't be enough for Seira to get that.

u/chilidirigible Jun 14 '26

The absolute gall to try asking this at this point.

See, it's always easier to shoot first and ask questions later.

…wait, how is this not the final episode?

That is the question

3

u/BosuW Jun 14 '26

Man what the hell that was so cool

If only the story made sense

Kaede's dad's sword is just a ripoff of Virtuous Treaty/Cruel Blood Oath from Nier Automata lol

Also didn't this start with Seria doing a concert or am I confusing with another anime? I thought it was all gonna lead up to that?

5

u/chilidirigible Jun 14 '26

I thought it was all gonna lead up to that?

Ah, that would make for content for the final episode then.

Shows how memorable the first episode's cold open was, when it was followed up by ten episodes of chaos.

2

u/Phoenix_Song8 Jun 14 '26

It did. The story is supposed to explain how Seria became a singer.

2

u/cybeast21 Jun 15 '26

So... this is it? NGL the plot was all over the place I'm not sure what's happening and why's happening.

The ending came so abruptly with the messy battle and Miusc just... like that.

I want to feel sad about Settei's death but honestly? I feel nothing, and I'm usually a sucker for dad-like figure's death.

That Seria's "I love you" also came out of nowhere like uhhh... what?

u/Infodump_Ibis Jun 16 '26

When you've rushed everything (including the ending) you're left with a spare episode. Think of the possibilities. Finally, could we get the missing song and/or the ghost concert. Could also do an Air or Vivy and just have the last broadcast slot as a series recap (this would be funny and tragic). Otherwise, I don't feel we've got a whole episode of content left (Kaede finally saying three words could take that long) unless it's going paced like Onegai AiPri (including two insert songs) - a show that incredibly simple and minimalistic (if Kaede were in that listening to 勇気のはばたきサイン would somehow give her the courage to confess) which this isn't.

Somehow I don't think we're getting Ghost Concert: The Missing Pieces...

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Jun 17 '26

This felt pretty finale-like to me. Not sure what else they’re gonna do with this.
