Episode 12 - Oyasumi
Only one episode left, and it certainly shows in this one. Truly leaping forward. But there's still a lot to settle and solve in the finale. I hope it'll be an elegant ending. This was a great episode, if highly predictable.

This episode was freaking awesome, I forgot I was making food while watching it. We finally got to see more of the Phantom Hunters as well as learning that they may have more then 1 piece inside of their bodies. We learned that Taoshi is actually a symbiote and not a full demon and that his goal is to wake Shindou's inner demon(the mist coming fromhis mouth had me like oh crap he's bout to go apeshit). Out of the 12 symbiotes we know 11 now(3 Tokko Hunters, Saya, Inukai, Kureha and Rokujou brothers are dead, 2 Phantom Hunters, Tioshi and Inukai sister). Why couldn't this be a 26ep series. Also when he said he's responsible for the incident does that mean that he's the one that opened the box to hell?

Quite a wicked last episode. Talk about open endings... This must have been a record. Well, not really. In a certain sense everything that needed to be told was already told. After this it should be just routine fighting rather than special plot development.
But it was quite a trick performed by Rokujou.
That was one of the most anticlimatic boss fights ever. It rivals even that of Black Cat...
Well atleast this episode sort of had a conclusion the stupid manga just switched to the hunters after Shindou was awakened. The Captain is freaking awesome he ate those shots like they were scooby snacks. Two things I found interesting about the ending, who exactly was on the phone with Ibuki's boss. And for some reason I think Saya will play the role of jealous sister not wanting her brother to be taken away from her and may turn evil. She's already shown signs of not liking Rokujou.

Because Rokujou wasn't scouted by Saya like the "real" candidates? That could be close to the truth.Originally Posted by Aeon
Well it was totally open-ended, but there was some level of finality...the Machida situation was resolved at aleast. Hopefully we'll get something else and the show won't just die.
Are you suggesting there is a season 2 coming soon?
I didn't like this at all, I thought it was shit to be honest (the ending, not TOKKO itself). This series could've been alot better than how it was.
Hopefully when the manga is started up again, it doesn't take the path the anime took.
In total agreement with kAi. I didn't even bother to post about it. The ending was total crap....
Horrible end to an anime.
Someoner say somthing about a season 2?
Kai, that's one of the smartest things I've heard someone say lately. Let's hope tha manga takes a different path.

I don't mind the path the anime took, but I really think this anime was a huge disappointment. Horrible VA's for every character. All characters were portrayed as robots; there were no real emotions behind the characters, all because of awful dialogues and the VA's being pure shit. Also, the animation got worse by the episode; this series could've had a lot of cool action scenes, but they couldn't even do that correctly. And last, but not least, the plot really didn't flow well. Everything that happened was simply random occurrences, there was no real thought behind the course of the actions the characters took, they just walked around and the plot fell into their laps, a real piece of shit way to go about a story. And, the ending was a waste of time.
To summarize all my points, the main problem was the execution.
Hopefully when a season 2 is done, most of this things get corrected, especially the shitty dialogues.
And the random scenes of nudity that served no purpose other than pure fan service.
That was hardly surprising considering this is from the author of GTO...
I don't remember GTO containing nudity.
Aye, I don't immediately either, but the undertone was there most certainly. After all, sex was pretty much everything the gto mainly kept thinking (or his lack of sex). So in that sense TOKKO just allowed the author to take it one step further and actually show some nudity. Whilst GTO probably isn't meant for the youngest of audience, TOKKO might be targeted for even more mature folk (even if the plot isn't quite equal in quality to many actual seinen series).
