| Okay I'm UNSATISFIED with the finale, im expecting a greater mental battle between them but it turns out to be one-sided, a great action from sakaido that will give me chills, and the goddamn OP AND ED TO BE PLAYED! well i guess they couldn't do it in just a 24-minute final ep, but overall, this was a great series from start to finish, i should say its peak was in the episode 9-11 where many headaching revelations and events happened. And oh, from 7.4, ido: inveideddo reached 8.05 score, truly deserved it! |
I love K-On, and so should you.  |
| I also think this was the most underrated gem of the season. I loved every minute of it. It was very fitting to end John Walker in the very first id well we saw. Fukuda became one of my favorite characters, RIP best boi. Too bad for Asukai but she is alive at least. Hondoumachi and Narihisago really work well together it's pretty cool they are paired to investigate. A well deserved 8/10 from me. It's been so many seasons since I was drawn into something this much. JudoJD said: GUYS.. Yuuki Kodama (original character designer and mangaka) has confirmed the currently running manga is a canon SEQUEL to the anime. lol they got me ngl. source: https://twitter.com/KTPN/status/1241756494200070145?s=20 I'LL TAKE IT That's so damn sweet! Maybe one day we will see it animated. |
| good one, 8/10. would 9/10 if Kaeru-chan had a happy ending but oh well. Love the new ED ost |
 |
| Wtf poor Asukai aka Kaeru-chan. Basically they just gonna keep letting her die and being tortured. But she's useful so whatever T-T I understand her only other alternative is real death but they kinda took away her option of suicide there. She's a slave. Then again she probably doesn't really wanna die but still. Kaeru caught a big fat 'L' |
| I really liked this show, and I loved that they gave Momoki more protagonism, and how they made Narisago more loveable and the stupid kid more likeable, it turned out to be really good. 9/10 |
 |
| A good final episode, it concluded the whole story and also left a window open for a sequel. The whole story was really interesting to follow, a mix between Inception and police thema which fulfilled its role to entertain and captivate. In the end, we learn enough about the Mizuhanome system but not enough to still feel satisfied : I'm waiting for more and from what other users said, a manga sequel is on the way. Kaeru/Kiki Asukai still has a life to truly live and I'll be there to witness such event. |
 |
| The final episode was Awesome And this Anime Was Great Overall 7/10 |
 |
| This show was aight. Kinda confusing plot but I really liked the characters. 6/10 |
 |
| I'm kinda sad that Fukuda died, I liked his character. I don't get how he died though? I thought people who died inside the well will just be left in a comatose state, or I might be wrong. |
 |
| Looks like not everyone liked this episode that much, based on the poll, but I think it was an amazing last episode! Although, I would've liked to see Narihisago and Kiki meeting in the real world, I thought that would happen. This anime was definitely the surprise anime of this season for me. I had avoided it for some weeks when I decided to give it a chance, and I enjoyed it a lot, to my surprise. Until episode 9 it was a solid 8/10 for me, but after that, it become so much better, that I had to raise the score to 9, which remained until now. 9/10 overall, it was a really great anime, and probably the best this season IMO That 8+ score is totally deserved! |

| Kado and Babylon writer aggressively taking notes in the background |
| Good finale, Good show, had the potential and premise to be a masterpiece tho. 7/10. Also, Rip best boi. |
 |
| the ending sequence was pretty similar to the matrix ending, where neo delivers his speech via payphone and wake up by ratm kicks in. |
The ending was actually great.I really liked the way they defeated John Walker.It was a fun ride.I will miss the show and its great music. |

''I was dead serious''  |
| Kiki/Kaeru wish they would give a back story about her. |
 |
| I really loved everything that led up to this but the final confrontation starting with John Walker killing himself hasn't been what I hoped for. Still a great show overall, but the ending is just ok. The story was getting really complex towards the last few episodes and I was worried the ending wouldn't have enough time to be fully fleshed out, and indeed it didn't. Loved Hondomachi cutting Walker off as he was about to spout his divine ideology. "Yeah you have a god complex. I knew it." Shut him down and shut him up. Didn't like the random detective being double promoted to acting chief. He had almost no precense in the plot. Shouldn't Momoki get that role? And then Tougou should have been promoted to team leader. |

| Great ending, I really liked how the downfall of J.W was executed. Overall I enjoyed the series it had some weak episodes and the villains reveals weren't the most surprising but I really liked how well executed concept was, my favorite part of the series was definitely the "well inside the well" episodes. 8/10 for me. |
| Amazing show. It had great cast, amazing character designs and even a strong contender for the best fight scene of 2020. Would you guys believe the same studio made arguably the worst anime of 2018? Real life Redemption Arc right here. |
 |
| That was surprisingly really good, and it had a really good ending. Maybe room for a season two? |
THICCDADDY1234 said: What I mean is this: The detectives are presented with cases and they try to gather clues to find the culprits. Sure, there is an overarching plot, which is a bigger case, but they apply fairly standard detective work to that too. The addition of id wells is a tech change, not any huge shift in substance.TheDeedsOfMen said: I don't think adding dream worlds with arbitrary physics to a conventional detective story fundamentally changes the story itself, so it all came across as fairly average to me. Too often they solve random cases with underdeveloped serial killers who have no interesting motivations. Even John Walker himself was disappointing. The deductions in the dream worlds seem kind of arbitrary sometimes and not based on any firm evidence. That said, I've seen worse, and the show didn't seem outrageously bad or anything. My finger is hovering on the 5/10 option, but I am not completely sure. I guess I am not hugely into conventional detective shows. This isn't even a conventional detective show though. |
| Kinda wanted more from the ending... The show ends more or less how it started in several ways. While the characters did learn more about the circumstances that led to this mess and more about themselves, it doesn't really feel like a lot of progress was made. It's not offensively bad. Just feels very safe for a show with such a unique premise. I also didn't much from Walker's downfall. A breakdown like with Bomber or a strong emotional outburst would've been nice, but he kinda just gets relegated to his role of being outsmarted. Still a fun show that didn't fall apart like others 7/10 |
 |
| Tf it turned into a battle shounen smh Disappointing, but not as much as Babylon lmao 6/10 Hondoumachi carried the show, Sakaido is garbage, not interesting at all |
 |
| Animation was bad in this series? Tbh Kimetsu and Mob has spoiled us. The animation was above average , and looked OKAY. Not everything is supposed to have brilliant SAKUGA. |

|
| Minority Report: The Animation is over and what an amazing ride that was. |
 |
| Nice anime. Still wish Fukuda survive tough |
 |
| I think this is the first time I liked an original anime so much, the history was pretty interesting and clever, exploring the minds of serial killers, solving mysteries and trying to decipher their motivations through abstract worlds, it is just impressive to come out with something so well though out of no where. In my opinion this is the best anime this season can offer, but sadly it didn't attract many viewers. |
 |
| First off, I think the ending is superb. Narihisago and Hondomachi were able to take down John Walker while Momoki successfully (and emotionally) managed to stop Asukai. Among the other similar anime, I think ID:Invaded's ending was the best because it wasn't slow and draggy, but it got straight to the point immediately without wasting any time. But like holy shit a suit that can pump fucking adrenaline and does CPR for you I can't exaggerate how smart this idea is holy  I'm a real sucker for this kind of shit lmfaooo I feel bad for Asukai cuz she's really depressed and she just wanna end her life as soon as possible :(. In overall, I'll give this anime a 9. It really fucking deserves it especially since I'm not really into Sci-fi anime lol. |

| Man, was really expecting Momoki to kill Kiki right there but guess the director wanted to conclude the series in a more hopeful note. Not that I'm complaining tho. Overall, it was a nice final episode for a highly enjoyable series. The Narihisago/Hondoumachi duo did a pretty good job at outsmarting John Walker and though it wasn't the conclusive outcome I was expecting, I still liked how Kiki's situation was handled. Regarding the series as a whole, its story ended up being more engaging than expected. I absolutely loved the concept of exploring serial killers' subconscious, loved how creative some ID Wells were, Narihisago was a great MC and the same can be said for Hondoumachi and Fukuda in their supportive roles. Of course, there were some aspects I didn't like that much such as Kiki's "supernatural" ability and John Walker's lack of depth as the antagonist but those points are minimal in comparison to the good aspects of the show. 8/10 - So... considering how open the ending was, I now wonder if there will be plans of a second season in the future. |

| The series was an enjoyable watch and I'm glad it wrapped up nicely. I'm looking forward to reading the manga. 8/10 |
| I am glad we got to see Fukuda's ID again. That was my favourite out of all the IDs. The anime actually connected a lot of the plot points, and gave quite a satisfying ending. I kept bracing myself for an unnatural introduction of a new solution of all the problems, but it never happened. Fukuda's detective name is Anaido. I can't believe I just noticed it now, but his name is Ana (Japanese word for 'hole') and ido (how they pronounce 'ID'). Now, I wonder if every one's name has meanings hidden like that. I feel bad for Asukai Kiki. Hope we get a second season, and hope she also gets saved. I am glad none of the detectives died. We don't know them enough, so we wouldn't really feel bad even if they had died, but some of us would have felt like they were trying too hard to get an emotional response from us. I wanna give this 7.65/10, but MAL doesn't allow it, so I'll round it off to 8/10. |
Thorfinn_Warrior said: The show started a bit average and was quite confusing but picked up as episodes went by. I thought of even dropping the show but just kept watching in hope that it would get better as I really liked the concept and it did. Episode 9 and 10 were the real deal , though last episode might seem a bit off to others but I think they were good too. I'd've given it a 8 but the soundtracks used are amazing , and it takes it to 8.5 Overall Score 9. And manga is upcoming which is the sequel to the series, looking forward to it I agree. Episodes 8-11 were super impressive story telling. Last few seemed alittle rushed but overall very happy with the story and show. 9/10 |
| does that mean a declaration of sequel to save asukai kiki?! edit: just found the sequel manga, tho still 2 chapters published it's already interesting. God bless otaro maijo |
