What a lewd thing to do with models.

Well, the BD for the first set of episodes goes on sale today. Gonna head into Akiba to see if I can get a special edition.

It's been fun.

Hmm... it seems there's no episode preview this week.

Edit: Checked the anime Twitter and the preview is being delayed until tomorrow "due to circumstances," which doesn't really tell us anything. That said, tomorrow (September 23) is Chisato's birthday, so maybe that's relevant?

OH COME ON MAJIMA HAS YET ANOTHER PLAN? [lol]

As usual, the mini audio drama has nothing to do with the episode.

Chisato: Finally, the last episode! Majima appears in front of Chisato once more. They-
Takina: Please at least do a proper preview just this once.
C: Shush. The two of them plan a surprise party to soothe Takina's anger at being left behind.
T: Excuse me?
C: But even with lots of presents, Takina's rage cannot be quelled! The squid plushy I brought her is shot straight through by Takina's M&P... okay, you're up!
T: Huh?! Um... *pages flipping* '"I wanted an octopus, not a squid!" shouts Takina. She goes with Chisato and Majima to the ocean to catch'... what is this?
C: Pretty fresh, huh?
T: As fresh as old octopus.
C: Wow, you've really grown, Takina!
T: This isn't a proper preview at all.
C: I mean, when you think about it, isn't a preview just basically spoilers?
T: When you put it that way, I guess so.
C: Next time!
T: Lycoris Recoil, last episode:
C: On three!
T: "Recoil of Lycoris."
C, badly: "Recoil of Lycoris".
Mika: *laughing*
Kurumi, background: Come oooon
C: No, that was Takina!
T: It was not.
M: Come on, do it properly.
*fades into chattering*

It's been fun.

Yes, that would be spoilers. Point for Chisato.

Why are there not more cute animations like this. In general, I mean, rather than lewd ones; not specifically related to this series.

Man, I thought we were getting a cute epilogue. Damn you Majima.

Episode 12:
Holy shit Majima, you fucking scared the shit outta me... I thought everything was going to bits! Turns out it was just Shinji on MIKA's hand and fireworks! The ending was serotonin!

Damn, no kiss. COWARDS. D<

Oh well, at least they decided to show the snow scene last in the actual credits part again.

Lol, they all ran away to Hawaii.

And hey, we do have plenty of sequel bait—there are still plenty guns unaccounted for, Majima pulled off a fucking miracle escape AGAIN, we didn't lose any main characters (aside from Yoshimatsu, and he was tied to this plot)... can we just have a yuri sequel

Edit: they both managed to do their shoulders in. xD

oh and the eyecatch is a call back to episode 1 as well

Oh come on, tie up some fucking plot threads. Majima was barely able to work as the main villain for this season, I don't want him for a second

Good series, though. Could have done a bit more with it's themes and the last few episodes had tonal issues, but it's definitely one of the better things I've seen this year

Hey, it tied up the main one, which was Chisato's heart.

It feels like the intent with Majima in the end wasn't to be the Big Bad (and after all, it was Yoshimatsu that set everything in motion) but to establish an Arch-Enemy. Which, well, it pretty much did.

Holy shit Sakura got to eat snacks!

Yeah the one thing that irks me about this ending is Majima surviving. I know I predicted it, but I don’t really want him around for a potential sequel.

That said, this was a great way to end the series. Chisato running away so she wouldn’t have to do sappy goodbyes is so on brand. This also lets Chisato and Takina have some alone time, and I loved the focus on these two girls, who were the heart of this show, for the finale. And then the the epilogue hits us with Cafe Lyco Reco… in Hawaii! Aloha. I feel like this sequence of events would have worked better with an extra episode, but hey, can’t really complain about happy endings.

Also rather liked Mika doing the dirty job to help his daughter. He rocks.

[up] No she didn't, Fuki dragged her away again. [lol]

It's also lovely that everyone basically upended their life and moved (or went on holiday to; although they're running a mobile café so who knows how permanent that is) to Hawaii basically because... Chisato wanted to. Even Mizuki can't say no, I guess?

Anyway, let's to a recap of plot threads opened and their resolution status. For mostly-resolved plots: Takina's exile and potential return to DA (resolved, she quit); the weapons deal (mostly resolved/some left as a plot hook—we know who did it, why they did it, and where the guns mostly went, but half are unaccounted for); the Alan Institute's interest in Chisato (also resolved, they were rejected); and Chisato's heart (resolved, obviously, at least for another ten years if there's been zero tech improvement since the prototype); and Robota got his comeuppance. On the unresolved side, there's DA's reveal to the public (very much set up as a sequel hook), who that boss guy is, potential past/future conflict with LilyBell (especially as they RAN OFF TO ANOTHER COUNTRY xD), and Majima's still free. Personally, I think that strikes a good balance between tying up enough loose threads to have a good ending, but leaving room open for a sequel.

I'm fine with Majima sticking around, though maybe not after falling from the top of a massive tower with no possible way for him to, you know, remedy that situation. Still, the sequel hooks gives me hope for more greatness in the future.

I'm still wondering if I'm missing something, since Kurumi's character page entry has Teen Genius on it. I... don't remember anything that would point to the first one? And with things like these stands for scale, I'd always assume she's meant to look younger than that???

I don’t really mind the loose plot threads because I didn’t think they were gonna be resolved anyway.

[up][up][up] She did get to eat the parfait! She just wasn’t able to finish it. Unfortunately.

A lot of people on reddit and /a/ generally the series was better before it focused on the plot stuff.

It wasn't quite slice of life, though. Very episodic, but not SoL.

The whole Lycoris situation was presented all season as something for the protagonists to get away from, not to engage themselves in, because it brings nothing but death, pain, and alienation in service of a dubious cause pursued with questionable competence. Majima and the DA's war continuing while the main cast sod off to idyllic lives in Hawaii is completely in-keeping with that.

What's precedent ever done for us?
