Considering there is another story line which provides a double tap when combined with Chtholly's and it was left out, I very much agree with your comment.

Great final episode, but I'm a bit confused about whether Willem and Nephren were suppose to make it out of there or not. Ctholly gave up her existence to go save Willem so I expected them to make it, but it didn't look like any of them could really move or had a way to get back to the ship. Lizard guy said they were dead, and the sage seemed to imply that too... then there were those pings on his globe... but why wouldn't those have shown up before and if nobody has seen them, are they still surviving on the surface somehow? I don't think it really effects how much I like the series one way or the other, but I wish it was a bit more clear.

I liked the finale. This title started strong for me, dipped in the middle section and then climbed back somewhat in the last two episodes. I've rated it as Good. I've been reading Nordhammer's spoiler content and it does seem like the adaptation of the source material was not handled as well as it could have been. Pity.

While it definitely could have changed things up in the middle, that last episode was one of the strongest endings of the entire season. No question. Definitely helped make up some points in my book.
And for all the complaints that the slice-of-life scenes got, they definitely made the finale much more meaningful. That entire scene with Scarborough Fair playing was breath-taking.

.A story line was cut but it's roots remained,this factors into into the whys and hows certain events may or may not have been prearranged to occur(vague enough?).
The Grand Sage's life scanner scene is one of the few anime originals,it simply is meant to add the cliffhanger which is missing from where the adaption choose to end.
And to tie into a second season which would answer your question(would recommend reading the novel first, takes time for pigs to get airborne).
For me, just the author offering hope to his audience(It's a Trap!),something he does often in both novels.

I'm not sure I'll ever read the novel, and as you implied, things like this rarely ever get a second season. If you happen to know, I'd be perfectly happy with a spoiler.

Great but first few episode had me confused since it was sorta all over the place and thought I had missed and episode before the one I was watching, the ending gave me akame ga kill flashbacks where everyone died, it just doesn't hit me with good vibes since I like things to end smoothly but I can't be helped sometimes. Lastly I was pretty much getting salty and talking to my tv venting on why it had to end that way... But I still liked it. Anyways it's my first time posting here so I probably posted this in the wrong section... Sorry! I guess I didn't really spoil it sorta... I guess but probably did... Once again sorry...

I liked the series a lot though it was very sad to see Ctholly die at the end. I do wish that the ending had been a bit more clear and a bit less "buy the light novels". Instead of making me do an internet search it would have taken the series only 10 seconds to show that Nephren and Willem were still alive. I do hope that the series sales well enough to get a second season.

I don't think the ending left it all that ambiguous at all. Beyond what was clearly shown, that ping said it all.
