Zero no Tsukaima’s ending has been well received by fans, finally bringing the Kugimiya tsundere holy trinity to an end – although given the increasingly harsh reception the TV series enjoyed, it came not a moment too soon…
Apart from some lingering concerns over the competence of the JASDF and Louise’s citizenship and immigration status (and of course the lack of Louise in future anime), fans seem most pleased that the long history of the series has been drawn to a satisfactory conclusion.
THIS IS TOTAL BULLSHIT, THEY RAPED THE NOVELS!!!
NOBORU-SENSEI, PLEASE!! DON’T DIE!!!!
I guess this is the end of an era for Zero no Tsukaima…
But is this really the end? I mean, the light novels doesn’t have a definite conclusion. Say it ain’t so, JC Staff!
Man, if only Mr. Noboru Yamaguchi would finish the novels as soon as possible before settling down…
That way, we will have another season when the novels are finished!
The anime was mediocre at best. The sales weren’t good for its past season but for the sake of putting at least a simple appropriate ending was already kind enough.
Don’t get me wrong, I like Zero No Tsukaima but it’s just wasn’t a big hit with the masses…(Shana did way better to warrant more episodes than Zero ever did.)
Given that the F-2 probably flies like a toy..but I still got WTFcked by these two being in that Japan Falcon.
i still don’t know how he passed the guards who protected the base of JASDF and stolen an fighter x.x
Question! How can they fly a jet fighter without air masks?
Is it really the end? The dude whom wrote zero no tsukaima had cancer and so ended it earlier because he thought he could die and has started working on two more volumes that will finish it off- so it might not be the end?
I have really enjoyed the anime-this season though has fallen a few times but they didnt seem to do a funeral for the pope though whom unforunately died.
But it will do if this is the end.
Does Saito ever wash that jacket he wore in the fantasy realm for 4 seasons?
wait isn’t louise a dirty foreinger in japan lol
She’s white and a blonde. She’ll be welcomed.
Finally
Zero no tsukaima = good end
Shakugan no shana = good end
Bleach = sad end
Future diary = mindblown
sad end in bleach?
Mind telling me why it’s sad, what happened,i don’t mind spoilers
Derfinger is in saito’s wrist , i was going to say finger but…
The ending is where they have sex in Saitou’s house.
the good old happy end..Excellent end of the show
Very boring battle scenes..I had to rewind almost the entire series.Иut the ending I was very pleased to be exactly what I wanted
Stupid writers. It’s not like we wanted the show to end or anything.
srsly, this show is one of the terrible moe archetypes that define anime today, and having refused to watch it for 5 years, I finally sat down and watched all 4 seasons in the last month.
And I was right all along. It IS a one-trick pony. The story IS terrible, disjointed and simplistic, the plotholes ARE huge and the stupidity of most of the cast is hard to underestimate.
Nice tits on the elf, the queen and the maid, all of whom adore our idiot protagonist unreservedly.. but you choose the whiny cunt who beats and abuses you every day? Oh pandering animators, you so clazy!
warrior princess w/ a nice rack
All i need now is a Full metal panic F.
Although I liked that it wasn’t a harem ending, I was pissed of at all the unanswered plot lines.
Why the fuck did the other girls just specifically give up? They made a point of Henrieta mentioning her feelings, and Tiffa kept getting people supporting her, such as Lukshana.
In fairness, Siesta kind of seemed like in her version, it would be her, Saito, and Louise, in some sort of three way relationship, so I pretty much ignored that.
Not to mention that it seemed Tabitha gave up, but I honestly felt she never really did, either.
This and the fact that they couldn’t even be bothered to fucking show Saito’s family (Which basically would be a conversation that started with “Where the fuck have you been all this time?”), really killed the ending for me.
Oh, lets not forget there was an episode based around the fact of Louise trying to change Saito to appease her Sister, who pretty much wound up not caring at the end anyways.
Too much fluff bullshit, not enough actual plot. I’m glad its over.
The ending to Natsume Yuujinshou Shi was better. Comparitively, that show is just much better than this one, anyways.
Louise sure is one beautiful bride.
It’s Been one fun ride that last for years since i first saw louise & co. on 2006.
Now im 6 year older & getting close to becoming a Wizard.
Haters gonna hate, but i have enjoyed ZnT for 6 years.
Thank you.
They wrapped it up nicely in that the Saito actually picked a girl. I guess that makes some people happy. Me, not so much. I watch harem shows for the cheesecake and the girls. I actually like the shows where it leaves it kind of open ended because then the viewer/reader gets to insert their favorite girl.
Actually in season 2, Saito told Louise (episode 2 I believe) that he loves her.
Even though other girls were practically throwing themselves at him, he pretty much had his eye on Louise all along.
Like 80% of the time.
Everybody likes a happy ending.

Now they just need to make a hentai out of that.
excuse my ignorance but which other series except ZnT and SnS is part of holy trinity?
I kind of thought it was Nagi from Hayate no Gotoku and well not likely but Kagara from Gintama. Man all these shows I’ve been watching for 5+ years are ending. I won’t get my weekly dose of Kugimiya Rie
Toradora.
Shit series was complete shit. Just like Shana i can’t stand these counterfeit Tsundere animes.
Such a great ending. I’m gonna miss Louise.
…..they got a jet?
I’m gonna miss Louise…Hopefully they make some specials or something cause now i have to find another anime to watch.
You’d think with 4 seasons they’d be able to finish a little better then that, not like they didn’t have the time or something.
They’d probably be able to finish better if they were 4 full seasons, instead is was 4 half seasons (12/13 episodes) so it was more like 2 seasons that covered a lot of content.
A “season”, a cour, is 13 weeks.
makes me wonder, since he’s been gone for the pass season’s, I wonder how much House Bills he got?
so you don’t think he has parents.
I liked that end!
“bringing the Kugimiya tsundere holy trinity to an end”
Now to deal with some of the stuff outside the trinity… Nagi from Hayate’s an alright character, but hopefully, Hidan no Aria did bad enough that they aren’t gonna do more of that shit. If we can get through one more Saimoe without all of these over-rated tsundere dominating, I’ll be one happy person.
I’m sorry but that was a crappy ending, just because it didnt even follow the novels which are still ongoing
That is such a horrible reason it hurts to read. It’s different BECAUSE the novels are ongoing. This isn’t some new phenomenon to anime. What were you expecting? Them to spoil the novels with an ending probably not even fleshed out in the author’s head yet just to end the anime your way?
nope just end the season at a point where one of the novels end instead of going for random ending, its the same bull that happened with the first hellsing anime, etc.
Sorry for wanting to see the original work animated instead of random filler endings.
I was semi hoping for an urobuchi ending, myself.
Would have been a valuable lesson.
This wasn’t a bad ending per say, though it certainly wasn’t fantastic, and alot of the problem with it’s combination of liberalism and conformity to the source material; if they wanted to make their own ending they should of, but using the fight from labyrinth of oblivion, and referencing aqueilia’s saint, some of the elf land stuff and then just flat out ignoring, re-writing or feeling to mis-understand other bits was extremely jarring, which made it hard to watch as a fan of the light novels. However, trying to put that aside it comes to a conclusion, if a bit of an ass pulled one, and while it takes a far too round about way of getting to it, it’s got enough moments of emotional or actiony interest that you don’t get bored, and it kinda pranged me when saito was sent back to earth, so it’s better than a lot of the made up anime endings. I guess I kinda liked it, despite it’s differences, though I hope for better with novels 21 and 22, but it should have been more different in my opinion, as it just doesn’t sit right with the original source’s fans.
@anon 14:42 not really, been watching anime for years and its not like just because i see different endings different to the source material that i automatically need to like it
You must be new to anime then.
Anime, where a boy can casually walk into a military base and hijack an aircraft
Saito: I need a jet to fly into an eclipse thereby transporting myself and said heavily armed aircraft into an alternate dimension in order to defeat a giant flying Godzilla with no promise of return… ONEGAI SHIMASU!!!
JSDF: Sure thing kid. Pick one.
Maybe Saito’s parents work there and gave it him? 😛
Actually, 3 everyday grandmas had actually infiltrated a nuclear missile silo in a military base once.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/oct/10/protesting-nuns-branded-terrorists/
Yeah, it ain’t gonna happen in R/L.
No keys to worry about, but they’re going to need to be towed out of the hangar, possibly fueled up, and (for F-16s and F-18s) need ground crew to hook up and run a “start cart” to get them going.
Ground crew is gonna look at “new pilot Lt. Joe Smith”, say, “Who the hell are you? I didn’t see your name on the roster…” and start asking uncomfortably pointed questions.
He pretty much needs to just touch them to understand which one is ready to go and he could just fly out since he’s Gandalfr. The hard part would be to actually infiltrate the base though since mere street bullies were able to beat him up.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawn_Nelson#Tank_rampage
Yeah, things like that totally don’t happen IRL.
Not to mention actually figuring out how to fly one. Most air and space museums have accurately modeled cockpits you can look around, very little of it can be figured out by simple looking around.
Bro tip: as it was explained in previous seasons, he is a gandalfr and has the power to use any weapon. He already used a Zero plane, remember? Which means this one is not an exception
Dragon vs. Fighter Jet? Saito and his jet OWNED that dragon big time.
I am going to miss Derflinger.
he got lucky.The last I saw a Dragon vs. Jet,it didn’t end well for the dragon…(Drakengard)
Derf is not gone for good, he lives on inside the gandalfr rune.
I am aware of that. I am just saying that I am going to miss him along with Louise, Saito, and their friends. And I am really going to miss his talking sword form.
You don’t miss him, you can only SALUTE!!
TENHUT! SALUTE!!
กีีีีีีีีีีีี ก กีีีีีีีีีีีีีีีีี กุุุุุุุุุุุุ
like a boss
“Apart from some lingering concerns over the competence of the JASDF and Louise’s citizenship and immigration status”
Uh yeah there’s more lingering concerns than just those that have gone unanswered as well… Tons of pointless characters who didnt even say anything in this final episode, and nothing but horrible plot lines and ideas. (im still laughing at how saito just DROPPED his gun in that previous fight in the season. Whatever happened to that joseph or whatever anyway *cough unanswered*)
How does anyone understand them? First episode of first season, Saito and Louise couldn’t understand each other until the spell that was meant to shut him up (Which ended up making him speak their language) Since his mind has been changed to speak their language (which is different from Japanese according to that) How do either of them communicate back in his world?.. does louise just blow everyone up with her translation failure so they speak her language?
plotholes, plotholes everywhere!
When he finds the zero fighter, he reads the tomb stone/grave marker of the japanese pilot. He can still read/understand japanese fine. I don’ know why she can understand it though.
Maybe he has instead got a magic where he can be understood and understand any language, thus he could naturally translate any language.. or maybe they’re not properly understood, and communicate through pointing and raised voices, Saito has to still understand spoken Japanese mind, but forgetting how to understand a language seems far less likely than having it shifted firmly into second language status.. Maybe he can still talk it’s just a struggle now, there’re plenty of explanations, and that’s not getting into the fact this isn’t the canonical ending.
It’s magic, maybe if we were talking a scifi here but…common it’s magic you don’t have to explain it,.
The japanese writing, yes. Speech.. they are both amazed when they can understand each other. Its not like Saito was going out of his way to speak differently, his speech (both understanding, and talking himself) was just flat out changed into her language.
I watched it solely for the boobs
No that’s what i call a good ending to a series! i’m so glad they didn’t pull harem “no-end”!
What an ending and what a great way to end this anime series. The ending is just so wonderful!
Goodbye Louise and Saito! It was a fun ride with you, officially married couple! We will miss you two and we wish you the best!
Hey, I think it ended pretty good. And once she gets knocked up, she’ll finally have big boobs like her big sister, lol.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Spoiler Complex.
What happened to Siesta?
she died. =(
What, no elf harem?
Son, I am disappoint.
Yeah, I liked the ending.
NO RETARDED HAREM ENDING!!!!!
But to be honest, the majority of the season sucked.
Still….I will miss Louise.
If he had the balls and married all of his harem this would have offically been the best anime since Tenchi Muyho. It would have been at least in amazing status.
Agreed. I don’t understand all this talk about needing to end with just one.
Ending with them all would be so much better. All my hopes are with Seitokai no Ichizon, but apparently there is some drama later on (just something I heard in simple convo so not sure at all if this is true).
To-LOVE-Ru Darkness bro.
Now all they need is to make a slice of life about their life in Satous world… And still not getting anywhere.
I think they should make like 1-3 more OVA’s showing whats happening after thay entered saitos world. it would be very entertaining to watch but i dont think the producers are going to do that because they obviously wanted an open end like that
While that may be amusing, I don’t really see any reason they would live in the “normal” world where they are both nobodies and are away from their friends. When they could live in the magic world where they own a mansion, have both great fame and are hero’s, and are not worlds away from their friends.
Not to mention that Saito should be “WANTED” for stealing a military jet XD
not to mention Japan is pretty harsh on immigrants, unlike the magical world
how is she blonde? She isn’t even strawberry blonde! She’s completely pink!
She’s blonde and she’s white. I’m sure she’ll be fine.
Since when Satou came to Louis’ world, no one could understand him right? (and vice versa)
Then shouldn’t people on Earth not be able to understand her as well?
Somewhere in the story (in the novel at least), they mentioned that the mages can use a “Translation spell” that enables them to speak and understand any language.
There ain’t no TVs, no PCs(and sure as hell no internet), no PS3, and the sanitary condition is real bad.
Modern world still owns.
just bring Colbert himself back, problem solved.
Who needs TV, PCs, PS3 and etc when you have a harem and tsun who keeps blowing you up…
yeah, since Colbert seems to be this genius guy who’s good a copying modern technology, just bring back a history book or an encyclopedia or something that’s filled with things like that and have him make everything. With the things Saito can bring into the magic world he can probably help them jump at least 300 years ahead. Then they’ll have magic along with nukes.
Just add magic and its rapppe lol and maybe 1000 years back in tech lol llol
Honeymoon.
Also, meet the family.
I’m sure it would be like-
-Parents: Where have you been all this t-…wait, who is that pretty girl?
-Saito: She’s my wife.
-Parents: :Thumbs up: TELL ME ALL ABOUT HER!
Still its like where have you been!
I went to a magical world and married Louise
Family WHAT! lol we never did meet his family one can only imagine the amusement
No, I can understand going to the “normal” world to visit and meet the family. But afterward they would go back to the magic world.
Just think about it, they go to the school while Louise fight with some girls over Saito (like childhood friend, kouhai, sempai, class rep and maybe some classmate/teacher) and she try to win with magic and every episode end with her destroying the school or saito house….
Holy shit, the horror!!!
It will like ‘Bewitched’ all over again.
Oh shit, I must be too old to even watched that TV show in the first place.
It’s not like a really want to see this, but if they made it I guess I would watch it.
Aww, don’t be a tsun.
I think Yan is better.
Be a dere instead!
I get the feeling she’d use magic in Satou’s world and we’d get a Tenchi Muyo style household.
I keep reading “Satou”.
Who the hell is he?
It’s Saito.
Idiots.
Each and everyone of you.
It was a nice feel-good ending. The season overall was kinda boring though.
ah it finally ended. thank god now which lame show is up next?
It was awesome! But I think it will be great if they make an epilog episode.
