Now that its finished, I went back and picked it up again. The high school thing made me rage unbelievably, but I've cooled down enough to tolerate it now.
Having finished it, I can say I'm satisfied. It was not exceptional or amazing, but the last episode made up for a lot of the bullshit in the previous six. Overall, I hated Cal's transformation in every way, and thats mostly what prevented me from being satiated by this series. She was one of my favorite lolis of all time, and they turned her into that... beast. And sad end was sad. As usual, the conflicts were based upon assumption and could have been resolved through clearing up the misunderstandings. In addition, the last arc was very slow, with way too many dialogues. After the Cal problem was over, I enjoyed the rest of it i.e. the last episode only. Loved it. The way they handled Scythe Master was beautiful, and then the trip to find Elen's memories was even more so. Usually, I would hate the show entirely for what happened to Renji in the end, but somehow, I think this is more appropriate than what I had hoped for. I feel kind of the way I did when Death Note ended. It's sad, but it is just and satisfying. And thats all. Just... satisfying. Not amazing or glorious, or heartwarming or brilliant, but not bad.
I give a 7/10.
