Second Season ?? ..


Also ... why the picture , at the end of the episode , is like ... blurred ? , only Kakeru and Yuka are OK in it ... ummm ... maybe because the rest are from other's worlds ?


p.d: Why the Dark Moon appears again ? ... ( When Kakeru see the sky almost at the end of the episode .. )

The Dark Moon is there because Liz isn't death.

WTF??

As an anime-only viewer, I am seriously outraged and confused at the last episode.

It's like as though there are like "oh rats, we messed up!" there is now no way to produce the ending since ep.11 showed the bad guy won and the world destroyed. I honestly thought ep.11 was the end, and 12 will be some sort of filler material. They did a time back or something, right back to the time she was first freed and now all the characters are together. Yuka and the dude are apparently on some bed in the middle of nowhere. Oh, and apparently when u can commit suicide, u can choose which one dies.

Spoiler:

the dude committed suicide, but it ended up being the one from Yuka's world that did the dying.

And after some really confusing and messed up explanation about time/world travel that rivals that of Haruhi's in the sense of how messed it is. Yuka became

Spoiler:

naked

And

Spoiler:

happy ending apparently

WTF??

Can any vn readers tell me what is going on? Is this an anime original ending?

Edit: The anime didn't tell me what's Dark Moon or Hellfall and all these other terms u vn guys are using. T.T

As someone who JUST finished the entire game... I can tell you that:
1. It's been going off on its own around episode 2.
2. Like the other VN players said, it'd be a HELL lot better if they stuck to the original material.
3. You're not the only anime-only viewer who finds this series a piece of crap... playing the game parallel to my watching gives me the 'anime-only' perspective as well, and I hate what the staff has done.

Hellfall is the translation of Lizelotte's spell 'Naraku Otoshi', which is the entire purpose of the black moon... which the anime never explains why it is growing bigger...

Anyway, regarding the anime/game comparison thing Ichy is talking about, I'll get to that sometime. Been intending to since I started playing. Don't expect it to be too good, since it'll be my first time.

[hollowification]

but dont you think next episode would show kakeru returning and saving misuzu. i would like to cause u see she was in fact in love with him and doing you know the hole ....... thing with them

[Bballmvp4]

written from an anime only perspective:

I generally looked forward to this show week to week because I thought it had a ton of potential and it seemed better than other shows out this fall/winter.

I tend to be a fan of the "get thrown into another world" scenario because it leaves room for a lot of character development through different trials and obstacles that the characters must overcome.

The character development in 11 eyes is, in my own opinion, the biggest disappointment that i had while watching this series. The characters do "change" but I can't really say they grow.

As the protagonist, Kakeru gets confidence and power ups but what are we supposed to learn from his character? At the beginning of the series we know he protects Yuka both physically and emotionally. Its obvious he thinks very highly of her and places a high priority on her happiness. This relationship is the driving force for Kakeru to pursue strength. To protect Yuka he also invites other relationships as people he can lean on and borrow strength. Eventually it seems that while Yuka might still be a major priority she does not completely overshadow his new companions welfare. Yet at the end he jumps right back into the I want to save the world for the sake of Yuka's happiness. Forgiving a psychotic old friend/love interest because she's been around for a while is not the message that this show should be sending. Kakeru's climactic monologue during the final fight should have been more about preserving the friendship, fighting for the sake of the entire group and not just Yuka, and relying on all those people to reach a specific goal. It would have resulted in a message that one should branch out and learn from several people, grow from your experiences with them, and use all of that to increase your resolve/ability to succeed.

Yuka was an unfortunate character to watch. Im not really into feminism at all but I generally hate the "i want to do everything for the one I love and who cares about everybody else" character. as well as the "i dont do anything but scream/ damsel in distress" type of character too. I know she had powers but they didn't really help other than to be used as plot devices. If she didn't have Kakeru with her then oh my god, she wouldn't be able to go on. There is a way to make damsel in distress characters work but it seems like the writers didn't try here. People have thrown the word interesting around here and I would agree that she is interesting, but she's not appealing at all. I think the reason for that is she is unrelatable. People can't put themselves in her shoes and learn from her.

Misuzu was my favorite character because she was relatable. She had sympathy for Yuka (even though Yuka was a physical threat to her), compromised her own safety for others, and shared her power while helping to develop Kakeru. She was morally good, selfish only to a socially acceptable degree for teenage girls, and had a decent impact on the plot. I generally cared about what happened to her throughout the story. That being said, she also is a character who lacked development. It was unfortunate to see her reduced to such simplified actions at the end of the series. It would have been nice to see her confront Yuka at some point. "she's crazy, but i dont want to have any confrontations. Ill just ignore the razor blade in my cup."

Yukiko and Takahisa were minor characters. They weren't necessary to the plot. Any development here (there wasn't any) is just the writers being generous/needing to fill time.

I was really disappointed in the direction this series went. There was no epiphany by any of the characters. I tend to believe that if the characters are good the plot doesn't really matter. The plot is just a convention used to allow the audience to observe the characters. Thus with the weak character development, 11 eyes was a weak show.

Actually, I was under the impression that everything that happened in episode 11 was one massive precognition from Kakeru. That's why it suddenly skipped back to the end of episode 10 at the beginning of episode 12.

Spoiler:

The discussion about parallel worlds was really messed up. Basically, there were like, 6 parallel worlds, each basically the same except that different worlds each have 1 fragment. All of the heroes exist in each world, but only one version has the fragment. Shiori can travel between parallel universes. Basically what happened was Shiori traveled to 6 alternate universes and told each Kukuri in each universe that she may have one of the fragments. One Kukuri, who had Abraxas and the shard decided to kill herself and "her" Kakeru in order to prevent Liselotte from getting the shards, which was the scene at the beginning of the anime. However, this Kakeru did not have the Eye of Aeon. Meanwhile, "our" Kakeru, who did have the Eye, simply saw his sister commit suicide and was traumatized. Later, Lisellote was able to use the small remnants of her power to pull the fragments into one world, then unite them and form the Red Night leading to the events of the series. At the end, apparently all the characters are sent to one world, where Takahisa and Yukiko are still alive and they are all happy.

BTW:
Hellfall=The spell Lisellote was planning on using to end the world.
The black moon was a gate to hell, which grew bigger as the Hellfall spell grew closer to completion.
Hope that helped.

Okay, after skimming through the anime again, I still think it sucks, but only because the game material is so much better. It has its merits for a 12 episode series, and I'll be listing them mixed with a bit of game-only information, which will of course be in spoiler tags.
Disclaimers: Japanese is average, so I was not able to get the more complex facets of the game, and I started this a few months back, so I might not be able to recall the starting parts of the game well. Also, first timer in writing a review, and I'm the sort of person who accepts anything that comes, so my judgement will be different from what you perceive. One more thing, the organization of this might be slightly confusing, since it's not easy combining everything. Saa, ikuyo~

The start we all know, Satsuki Kakeru and Minase Yuka end up in Red Night, no warning, meeting with monsters, and do their best to survive. That's the same in the game as well, except that gives more character development, the absence of which makes their relationship in the anime feel less real compared to the game version, but then again, its only 12 eps, and compression is inevitable. As for side characters Tadashi and Kaori, they're so loosely presented, they could just disappear and it wouldn't have made much of a difference. Comparison of the starter: Game focuses more on the desire to survive from the sudden shift in their lives, anime focuses more on the mystery of the Red Night.

Spoiler for game:

Kakeru was shown to have more reason to protect Yuka compared to the anime, which threw it in only at the end, and Yuka's dependence on Kakeru was stressed very strongly. At the beginning, Tadashi and Kaori play a strong part in setting the mood of the 'normal' life, and also, Kakeru's stoicness from his sister's suicide was emphasized. Which makes another comparison: Anime has Kukuri kill Kakeru, game has her commit suicide, which was the main factor for Kakeru's desire to defend Yuka.

Then we get the Black Knights. I'm sure it's been mentioned a lot, but the first four, Gura, Acedia, Ira and Invidia, were all shown to be easily defeated. This is one of the things that might make the VN players cry blasphemy, but after I've gone through the VN, I realize it's actually a big hint as to their real nature, which were shikigamis of Superbia, Kusakabe Misao. Still, all those fights could use a little more oomph, it's saying a lot when I say that Gura's fight was the most exciting of the four in the anime. Note: Invidia's 'Kill me' in the anime is somewhat inconsistent, though the game explains it, AND has reason for it. As for the remaining two, Avaritia and Superbia... to be honest, the main thing we should concern ourselves with instead of the four imitations, they seem to lack conviction. The reason is because they wanted to stop the collection of the fragments, yet at the start, they're just watching. What the heck's with that? And in the end, they did one of those 'sacrifice for the greater good' thing, which, IMO, at least makes their earlier lack of will acceptable.

Spoiler for game:

The game... had a heck lot better fight, even if it was just effects, sounds, and words.

Gura made it hard, requiring chain restraints, powered up Kashagiri, harassing Yukiko, and made it even harder with a burst mode.
Ira didn't die so easily, he managed to land a few blows on Misuzu with his martial arts, doing that 'blade catch with elbow & knee', he retreated once when Kakeru first used his Eye to stab him through the eye (is that a pun?)... wait, come to think of it... it does seem like a big coincidence as a scriptwriter joke. Kakeru's right eye helps him to stab Ira, also through the right eye... okay, moving on. Ira falls to Yuka's Hands of Glory, which... GODDAMMIT, its another joke, isnt it?! He loses his hands to her, and I forget who finishes him off.
Invidia is also like Ira, coming back after a few initial fights, defending against Yukiko with her head wings, and causing lots of damage with her whip. She did get finished off like in the anime though.

Spoiler for back story:

From the Cross Vision, the four of them died against Lizelotte, but Misao bound their souls to Larva and sealed their memories. The battle trauma against the fragments was reviving her memories, and Misao puppeteered Invidia to go suicide against them, which is when she asked to be killed.

Acedia was one of the more exciting battles, he spammed laser storms while floating out of range, until Misuzu pulls out Doujirigiri and kills Scholastica, the top half, while the anime has them die in the opposite order. All these fights were extremely well portrayed, compared to the cannon fodder they were shown as in the anime.

As for the final two, Misao was killed by Doujigiri after a REALLY hard fight, and Avaritia released his dragon hoping it would finish all the enemies off, but unlike the anime, he lost his human awareness. But then again, the anime can be forgiven as that ep was an illusion.

After that, we get the Red Night Team intros. First, Kusakabe Misuzu, red hair onmyouji swordswoman with the skills to survive, followed by Hirohara Yukiko, genki girl with job history of child soldier, then Tajima Takahisa, pyrokinetic delinquent with emo and big eater tags. Finally, the mystery two, mute dere Tachibana Kukuri, who works with chains, and my fave loli, Momono Shiori, bad-mouthed and lacks much expression. I'm sure most of those who followed this thread knows that the order is different in the game, but the point I'm discussing is how these 5 are presented.

Not much of a problem with Misuzu, apart from how she suddenly switches from prim & proper to somehow having a thing for Kakeru.
Yukiko is also quite alright, with her fear of her darker self and losing her nakama, which prompts her to introduce the 'For friends & tomorrow' battle cry. The formation of her relationship with Takahisa has no problems either.
Takahisa, however, is another example of a quick switch. He starts off as a lone wolf, staying that way all the way up till the berserk issue. Feels a little sudden.
Now, as for Kukuri, there's a certain thing that was mentioned before, and this is one of the main factors that make the anime originality good. When Invidia turned up, she appeared in normal clothes DESPITE going to school in her uniform. But when I looked back through, she NEVER uses her chains in her uniform, hinting about the existence of fake Kukuri and Abraxas.
Shiori in the anime is deus ex(planation) machina, which is a bit too convenient. She's able to travel to different worlds, wtf. So hard to believe.

Spoiler for game:

Original order they appeared in the game: Misuzu, Kukuri, Yukiko, Takahisa, Shiori. Kukuri first appeared when Misuzu asked to meet them on the roof, saying she wanted to introduce the fourth person sucked into Red Night, followed by Yukiko, who drags them into the Modern Research Club, and is found as the fifth when they're inadvertently sucked into Red Night, while Takahisa is the 6th, when he turns up in the middle of an attack some time after being rejected as a member. Shiori's appearance is pretty much the same.

Biggest problem I have with the anime: TAKAHISA IS SHOWN AS EMO! The game gives everyone a distinct personality that is quite enjoyable, which is especially more so when their history is known in more detail:
Misuzu is uptight, but shows dere-ness sometimes, and gets flustered easily when faced with ecchi stuff.
Takahisa... who gets emo-ified in the anime, is fun, forming a comedic duo with Yukiko, and livens up everything by going sekuhara on Misuzu and Kakeru.
Yukiko, artificially genki, but eventually shown to genuinely care about those she meets in the Red Night.
Kukuri is more emotional compared to her doll-like personality in the anime, but then again, that's another fault of material compression.
Shiori, she likes the pussy they meet in the mark, grows to like being a part of the group, and her vindictiveness on Tadashi speaks a lot about her character.

Well, the anime storyline. I'm getting a little out-of-focus here, so I'll sum it up the best I can. It started off more like a mystery, but suddenly went into 'try to survive attacks', before switching to 'we'll cause the world to die', and finally ending at 'we survived'. A bit too fast, and the ending seems a little cliff-hangerish, in addition to the many unanswered questions left... like the various worlds thing, which the game forged a mystery about. In simple terms, the anime can be commended for these: It had an acceptable ORIGINAL plot that they stuck to, despite the failure to deliver it in a preferable way, and it had that mystery factor that could be used as an explanation for SOME of its plot shortcomings.

Spoiler for game:

The game emphasizes the character relationships more, from Kakeru's perspective (duh). It started off more with 'I must defend Yuka no matter what', but later, as he gains more nakama, it really goes with that 'Tomo to Ashita no Tame ni' theme that pops up every time they go into Red Night. Also, the time devoted to their normal life, like Kakeru working in Cyberiada, joking around with his classmates and the Modern Research Club, lends more meaning to his... no, actually, THEIR desire to protect that life from the Hellfall. Also, Verad's talks with Kakeru about Lizelotte feature a great deal in explaining the history, as compared to deus ex(planation) machina Shiori. The realization about everyone originating from different worlds is much better in the game.

Can't really think about much more to write, though I'll be happy to provide spoiler game info if anyone asks. It's a little tough trying to decide what to fit in.

Points to consider about the anime (in the order I recall them):
1. Doujigiri Yasutsuna is a life-draining sword, yet when Misuzu pulls it out at the end, she doesn't seem affected by it much; standing around without fighting has not much strain on her, even if spikes are sticking from her head.
2. Sometimes she needs to chant to take out a sword, other times she just pulls it out so easily... lack of consistency.
3. BIG point here: A fragment was so easily destroyed by just killing the holder... yet separating it 64 years ago doesn't do much to harm it? Inconsistent integrity.
4. Shiori said that Kukuri was the oldest while she traveled around... Kukuri by rights is in the same year as Misuzu...
5. Yuka gives up her yandere side so easily? You'd think Kakeru might be affected by the experience of having sex with Misuzu (even if it's not real)

Hope this helps.....

[bereal31]

See, my problem is that is no explanation whatsoever. It's like you are watching Lord of the Rings, one scene the ring destroyed, and the next scene, time back, the ring survived. You will be like WTF? They need to offer some sort of explanation, like "if Frodo broke a leg" or "if Golem got a jetpack", so I know what's going on, otherwise I will like the WTF? Same thing with this show, one episode, world destroyed, and the next the exact opposite with no explanation whatsoever.

1 more point added to your 5 so

6. In ep 11, Raikiri were broken after taken a hit from Liz. But in ep 12, Karasumaru didn't.
In the anime, it takes the effort of the whole Index group to seal Liz but it's broken so easily just by letting her absorbing 1 fragment.

Spoiler for More comparison:

In the game, it only takes Avaritia himself to seal Liz and yet absorbing 2 fragments wouldn't break the seal, just wake her up. Only when Avaritia loses his human awareness does the seal breaks. Avaritia has a lot of strain keeping Liz sealed and the gathering of the fragments pains him.

But when I looked back through, she NEVER uses her chains in her uniform, hinting about the existence of fake Kukuri and Abraxas.

One More Anime Fault = They shown Kukuri with the chains in her uniform in the OP

Spoiler for Guuddo Endo:

Since the beginning, i believe that the only way to stop Liselotte is for Velad to denounce his wish for world destruction. Sheesh. Why did it took him this long to do something so simple.

Spoiler for The BGM playing should have been this:

I'll buuuurn my dreeeaaaad.....

(Off Topic) Nice new Animesuki banner, btw

Wow , the ending ... what was that ... oh well , as it was a cheap anime , i can say that it was an average/below anime ...
All the story about Yuka's world , 6 worlds , Kukuri , Shiori , Liselotte , Velad ....

Oh well, they only rewound back one episode, it would have been cool to rewind all the way back to his Eye activating in Red Night the first time. could have made a whole second season, that follows the source a little better. it was still a pretty decent end.
