Not sure why there are no videos here, I watched this on FUNimation when it was first released. It had a slow start and ended too fast... I assume that was done to get to know the setting and the characters, but the true climax was literally near the end of the show...

I'm not a big fan of the ending, I see what the writers were trying to go for but it doesn't really feel like an ending to me, It just feels incomplete with everything that happened, and so quickly to.

It doesn't really work without another season, but considering how many years have passed since the ending, the chances of that happening aren't likely, but if another season does ever get made then I will definitely watch it.
(There is currently no season 2 at the moment...)

I will not mention anything else since other people have already said my other thoughts and to also to prevent spoilers...

Final thoughts. Endride isn't a show for everyone, but it is worth giving it a chance if you are looking for something new to watch and haven't already watched it, and try to watch it to the end before forming an opinion on it since the really interesting part doesn't happen till near the end of it

Questions I asked myself constantly while watching the series. I don't think there was a single character that acted in a reasonable fashion through the course of the show. Motivations were sparse and things just happened. Hidden information spread through the world instantaneously, and the cause and effect from actions was absurd. I would give this show 0 stars for it's inability to maintain it's own rules but I can't. Avoid this one and watch better versions of the same story like El-Hazard or Escaflowne.

Overview: Endride was actually pretty enjoyable. There are some sappy parts in it for sure, and there are many parts which feel a little rushed--but it is complete and the story is actually not that bad. It really picks up later in the series as well. Though I wouldn't rank this in my top 10, it is good if you're between shows and want something quick and decent to watch.

Review: I actually liked the plot enough to sit down and binge watch it in two different sittings (though I figured out quickly why Shun was able to use warp relics). Shun is not always the brightest character, but he is optimistic and likable. However, I feel like there really should be more emotion between the characters--especially when you realize in the second half what's really going on. Emotions are very short lived, and characters recover from some things MUCH faster than they should, while dwelling on others that don't seem as important. I feel like the ending was not as good as it could have been. It wraps everything up neatly for the most part, but the later interactions with Shun and his parents seem very unrealistic (you'll understand once you get there), and the final couple of minutes feel a little unnecessary and unsatisfying. There is a little clip at the end of the credits after the last episode to hint that a better ending could be possible--but I hate it when they don't just show you the ending you want. It takes the satisfaction out of it. That being said, the ending was okay, but not great.

Like I said before, if you're looking for a show while in-between shows or while saving up episodes for another anime, this one is a pretty good one to fill your time. It's worth watching once.

This show left me feeling unfulfilled and disappointed with my choice. I actually watched it on the Funimation site however since no one comments over there and I have both memberships, I figured I would try to save the users of Crunchyroll. The main character may be the most unlikable main character that I have ever encountered in all of my years of anime. His personality does not match his age and the constant bickering with the 2nd lead makes the show nearly unwatchable. The 2nd lead character is equally unbearable in that he is in tantrum mode throughout the entirety of the show. At some point you think they would tone down the annoyance of these two to push the narrative or dive into the story of one of the secondary characters....no such luck. Outside of the scientist and the resistance leader, none of the other secondary characters will grab your attention in any way. The scientist is your general know it all helpful source of information character and the resistance leader is the iron willed savior of the world type. Annnnnd that is about as far as the show takes them.There is a really cool character that is introduced way later in the show who would have been quite useful in both of the final fights however...they just leave him where they met him and never bring him up again. (-_-).... The only redeeming qualities of this show is that there are a couple of good plot twist, but even those are produced with a lack of effort. (not as bad as the armored and colossal titan reveal in AOT but come on that was hilarious) There are two antagonist. One is the annoying sub-boss that you have to kill multiple times in any RPG and one is the final boss with mood swings. Both are terribly unimaginatively done and leave you cringing after ever encounter. Overall I give the show a 4/10. It got 4 because I don't want to hurt my own feelings and admit its really a 2. It was lazy, it was shallow, and then it was over. Perhaps I've been spoiled by Konosuba and Re-Zero but damn this was bad. It has taken the place of Ixion Saga DT as my least favorite other world adventure. (Ixion is a solid 6 at least but looks like a 10 compared to this sh#!)

OK art and OK story, along with OK animation. If maybe the art was a bit better and the animation wasn't so... awkward? There's a lot of awkward standing/staring and the screams are a bit overdone at some.... The place where the weapon comes out is different I guess. Usually it comes from the hands but it comes from the chest? I think that it was a bit weird how he had no knowledge but he casually grabbed it and swung it. It would of been better if it appeared from his hand and he started panicking? Idk. Its a bit bellow average but not bad. Could be approved
