VerifiedSadly, this is not the ending I was looking forward to. The first half of the series had MIGHTY potential, the latter half clearly didn't share the same sentiment. It ends on a blatant cliffhanger, a pretty predictable finish.

VerifiedDardan is such a perfect villain! His voice & expressions really set the scene. The iconic moment between Sooha & Heli replaying itself from the past was so intense, I was worried about the outcome. But SO happy how they finished it out. ALSO, those werewolves at the end?! 😍

A strong follow-up that keeps the intensity going. It pushes the story forward while deepening the stakes.

VerifiedI don’t know about others, but for me, the effects, the plot, and the animation really fell off. For a season finale, it didn’t have much impact. The plot also don’t have the WOW factor that we were looking for in the ending. The first few episodes were much more enjoyable, tbh.

VerifiedFor me, this doesn’t feel right, there’s too much dialogue. 😤 I know this anime can do better, like in the first six episodes, which were more entertaining and kept me interested. I’d give this episode a 5/10, since the first half was great, but the rest was just so so 😒

VerifiedIt feels like they forced the dialogue in here, and the turn of events as well to make it seem engaging but the execution felt off. Ig the nice thing here is that the pacing seems fine

VerifiedOh man, it was underwhelming and didn't have much impact or wow factor. How things wrapped up and its overall payoff as a finale episode wasn't that satisfying either.

This finale had some cool transformations and light effects, good for quick cuts and beat drops, but overall it kinda just existed, not giving much AMV material to go wild with. mid 🤷♀️

just flashy fantasy with zero tactical depth, more sparkly magic than actual combat strategy, my soul aches for some genuine military accuracy, straight up eww 🙄

Everyone's trashing this finale for being predictable, but honestly, the real tea is how little effort went into making even the *predictable* parts coherent. 😴 hard pass.
EPISODE CONTEXT
Episode 11 brought Dardan's ritual to the edge of completion and drove the boys directly toward the altar, setting this finale's confrontation in motion with no buffer. Episode 12 is the direct, uninterrupted payoff to that momentum, the season's central threat meets its decisive chapter here. As the final episode of the run, it closes rather than bridges, delivering resolution to the arcs established across all twelve episodes.
