I'm creating a single thread for these episodes as they're being released together and are really designed to be watched in a set.

However, if you wish to provide individual ratings for each episode, please do so in the comments.

I know everything that happens!!!

:D

*shot*

Okay....so I caught the last fifteen minutes at Otakon's World Premiere last Friday.... =3=

But there's no way I'm the only member of this board who did!?

OTAKON, PEOPLE?

Looking forward to everything I missed. Haha....freaking dealer's room....it's YOUR fault. :heh:

OH my goodness, its almost time.

Someone have a link of the stream/simulcast ?

Haha, the sequence in the opening with Kirino (Meruru) vs. Kuroneko (Maschera) has been replaced by Kirino vs. Manami. :heh:

Can you guys feel it? No matter which girl wins (if any) a shitstorm is brewing.

Of course, but I was there for the LN release of volume 13, so nothing new for me. :)

Hmm, poor Kuroneko, seeing this animated war really touching, even though I'm in another camp.

EDIT: Kirino's hair is really more fluffy in the back. So they have altered it a little bit.

EDIT2: This confession was a surreal sight with all those other people around. :heh:
But one negative, similar to the onsen scene, once these people seem to be frozen in place.

Oh my god. I knew that the scene with Kuroneko would be short, but this short... I mean, I barely have enough time to feel emo :(
OTOH...Such happy tear

Yeah, it felt slightly fast. The entire episode was a little bit fast-paced for my likings. But still okay, not as bad as Episode 12 with Ayase felt.

I must say I'm surprised they moved the Kanako scene to the day after, with Kyousuke leaving Kirino, Saori and Kuroneko for a moment. But okay, as they didn't introduce Sakurai they had to do something, lest it became somewhat fragmented. Kanako was funny as usual.

By the way, seeing Saori talk in that Bajeena-mode while wearing normal clothes is kind of funny. :heh:

I must watch it now!!!! When will it be ****????

Just finished Episode 15, the bed scene was funny how Kirino sprang to life. But it would have been better, if they had included a choice menu like the one from Episode 3 of the first season, like described in the LN.

EDIT: I don't like the fact that they cut the Mikagami conversation. In my opinion this conversation is pretty helpful in understanding the ending.

So it's finally over.Well,that were 3 really great episodes.The Novel Final was how I expected better than these three episode but still it was really satisfying.

BTW the Kirino vs Manami fight was just awesome.Just like I imagined :D

Nice finale is all I can muster out!!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoyable!!!!!

Yeah, Manami surprised me, a nice punching stance. :D
But uh, Manami is seriously scary when she gets that serious look in her eyes.

Another thing I disliked, was them not showing a hand-holding scene before the meet up with Saori and Kuroneko. :(

:heh:

In general I would say that I liked the three episodes. However, episodes 15 and 16 (particularly 15) were difficult as anime because they contained a lot of talking, and the directors/storyboard artists couldn't really come up with very interesting ways of covering it all up. As a result, some of the scenes seemed to drag on longer than I would have liked, and other scenes didn't seem to be emphasized enough (because basically they don't contain as much story-critical dialogue). Particularly, Kirino's audio messages were very important, but I found it a bit hard to follow in the anime because they kept cutting to random stills that mean little (and the fact they were just stills made it even more distracting to me). I think Episode 14 fared better because it had a more action-driven plot, so it worked really well as anime. Episode 16 was about half-and-half -- I thought the first part at school dragged a bit, but the rest was pretty good.

All in all, I think it probably needs a rewatch to better-process everything, but it feels like, between these and the prior few episodes, all the loose ends of the plot were wrapped up pretty clearly.
