So was Mortal Stampede ;_;

Yup, they skipped it. I'm not happy about it either, but under these circumstances, I think it was a good decision for three reasons - First, time constraints, obviously. Second, severel deaths were different in the VN, first and foremost George, who would not get any explanation as to why he has a bullet hole in his forehead. And third, a fact I also didn't like in the VN: It was a climax breaker. Going from OMGAWESOMEANGESACRIFICE to investigatioooooon to OMGAWESOMEFINALBATTLE was not a good decision IMO. However, the best solution would have been to keep it, but end the 25th episode with Ange's sacrifice, so the tension is already mostly gone anyway, and we can have our epic final battle after 5 minutes of investigation. But alas, you know how that turned out =P

Could somebody tell me what this means:

Spoiler for During the break:

I was told it was an advert for The Stakes' Valentines or something, but I want to be sure.

Spoiler for this scene:

If my memory serves me right that wasn't explicitly described as such in the VN either. When I read that part I also wondered why the fans always interpreted it as "they both die hugging each other". Well the shipping is strong.

Considering they cut the discovery of George's corpse in episode 24 I had a feeling they'd cut the discovery of the rest of the corpses.

In the anime, he only saw Kumasawa and Gohda, who very much appeared to be dead.

I would think It would be cool as like an OVA or something.

[KanonTheFurniture]

Based on the shots it looks like fears that there would be no red and blue in the battle have been averted. Anxiously awaiting a RAW, but dare I say, based on the screenshots, it looks like they may have (all things considered of course) pulled it off.

I love how people think DEEN is just going to flash nudity on the screen. It's like with Gaap having underwear - no animation company, no matter how big they are (Shaft, Bones, etc) is going to flash frontal nudity on screen. Not even Queens Blade or Princess Lover flashes their giant tits on a television screen.

But it looks like Stakes Valentine + White Day will at least get a drama cd. Good to know - shame they won't get an OVA but drama cds tend to be better in terms of consistency. Although buying Note 1-6 as a package to get it (which should be EP 1-2 and the first episode of EP 3) seems a bit pricey :c

The Bern and Lambda screenshots at the start were just sponsor scenes, no actual scene happened.

After the credits rolled there was a scene.

Spoiler for major spoiler:

although they killed the bern troll 8|

[musouka]

So this is how the anime ends, huh? Not with a bang, but with a whimper.

None of the emotion I wanted was carried through at all.

Well it depends on how you see the game. Technically the giant bang was suppose to be Bern and Lambda talking about the game, but a good chunk of it was eliminated.

That wasn't the only bang. The entire tea party had me on the edge of my seat in the original. In this it was alternately boring and laughable. Oh well, at least it's finally over.

[desirebluesky]

...either there was no dreamend or i somehow missed it. and no trollkastel.

DEEEEN...

[Westlo]

No dir as well for Ange's death which is how far I'm through the episode atm.

Yeah the 4th tea parties are the only thing I've read more than twice, they had me on the edge the entire time for the 4 times I've read them...

[bigemperor]

No dreamdenddischarger (IT REALLY HAVE NO SENSE AT ALL)

golden slaugther (wtf) and endless nine in the discussion.

[desirebluesky]

it wasn't used anywhere in the anime, right? why make a remix if you're gonna only put it on the OST... i don't get it.

How much more explicit does it need to be than this?

Spoiler for DEEN is retarded:

Is there any other meaning for "hold" in this case?

EDIT: Unless the Japanese term used is ambiguous.
