The concluding episode of moe-guro combination anime Gokukoku no Brynhildr has aired, ending its TV-run on a relatively positive note if at the expense of bloody notoriety – and whether or not the anime lives up to legacy of the author’s previous “magnum opus” Elfen Lied looks likely to be the subject of some debate.

“I have to go now. My planet needs me.”
I had such high hopes in the early episodes, because it seemed so faithful to the manga (and I prefer the anime character designs). However, the ending makes it obvious how much had to be thrown out for an ongoing series of 9 volumes and over 106 chapters, to fit a 13 episode season. We missed the epic, citywide destruction wrought by Valkyria and during her battle with Kuroneko. We missed the survivors dealing with the aftermath of their city being destroyed and Kuroneko’s complete loss of memory months later. Why is Murakami attempting to stab Kuroneko to death at the opening of the manga? The anime will never tell us.
13 episodes for any given adaptation of 2-3 volumes long or more is a s♥♥t decision. I keep saying, the standard needs to be 24 episodes unless the original source material is really short. I keep saying this over and over again. 24 episodes should be standard testing grounds for a series not 13.
Totally short for cover more of 70 caps of the manga. And the only good thing here is to the MC prota is not a gae pathetic like rito or other assholes MCs.
