Probably the worst montage. Absolutely hideous 3D, the montage scenes had a disconnect to the lyrics, the best part is missing and I feel like the scene was there just to follow the theme of "we need a song every episode". On the other hand everything else was pretty damn good with much needed exposition, people who are confused with the series should be set on the right track now.I cringed when I saw that op part..... either it was a rushed job on a nickle budget or they were letting someone new try something interesting. Either way I was a bit upset with that montage, but the rest of it was good (almost worried they were going to make the cg the whole episode lol). Hope they do a nice with the ending to this.... I'm feeling like this is going to leave us with a cliff hanger or a wtf kinda feeling.

There is a way to find out how the show might end: it all depends on the title of the finally. Will it be Outer Science? Or will it be Summertime Record?

I stumbled upon the Kagerou Project really, clicking around Youtube with no purpose. The first one I got was Lost Time Memory, and it was so good I instantly downloaded it and saved it in my phone.
But I never got to check the other songs. I had no idea the scale, the thoughts, and the efforts put into this project until this anime came out, and I got curious.
I didn't check 'Outer Science' or any of the bad endings - too much of a pussy to do it; it seems like I'm losing my bravery with this kind of things the older I get - I'm already finding excuses not to download it for a full three episodes until today, and I cannot understand why - so, basically,
Let's really hope we don't see anything too gory for the last few episodes. It'll make me feel like running away and go for some dumb soul searching or something. God.

This series is making me so confused.. ; ; The manga just ripped out a part of my heart and the anime doesn't help much. I love all the characters and the songs and I'm feeling all mixed things inside and I just want to laugh and cry and I dunno where to put myself anymore.. and Damn that shaft.. XD

"Last episode: Summertime Record" but..but science..
So the anime is diverging from the LN. Potentially worrisome because whenever an anime radically deviates from the source material(manga, LN, VN) bad things like the first adaptation of Full Metal Alchemist or E rated One Piece can happen and this episode in particular had weirdish pacing throughout.

I'm worried about them changing too much too. Though I think they are taking source from the music video, manga and Light novel?
but as far I think it follows some of the music videoes and manga and light novel. Maybe they are just trying to make it understandable for people who haven't had any contact with any of the original sources? but but I hope we see that moment cause.. I'm WAITING FOR IT.. actually I'm waiting for a lot and it kills not knowing whenever it will come or not!!

Yes it's more accurate to say it's related to the series as a whole, but the LN is more straight-forward than the others. Since Jin's in charge of the LN, Mvs and (tentatively)anime he's using his own material so it's not so much referencing/sourcing but more like re-purposing.

I want to bring down the hammer but there's still one episode left and I really want to believe in this adaptation.

The possibility of season 2 is always there!!!

Summer Time Record has always been the ultimate ending to the Kagerou Project. They've repeated 'Outer Science' countless of times before that.
In the music video it was never shown how STR came to be, nor in the LN or manga, so this is the perfect opportunity to do so.
EDIT: But I'm sure there will be sadness as well. For one, I'm pretty sure that:

Finally able to watch episode 10 and 11. That latest episode gave me a reminder to rewatch the whole series some time in the future, because I seriously felt like I'm missing out on something important. This is especially the case where,

... I'm sure you'll get your fill of Outer Science in the manga and LN. The needed to tie up the story leading up to Summertime Record permanently, and this is the only medium left. Remember, we never know how it leads up to Summertime Record - that ending and the rest are literally missing a link.
Once this anime is done, we will get the full picture - or, as full as you can hope for - of the entire story of Mekaku City Actors. No major things left unexplained (almost). I for one, am extremely satisfied with this outcome.

Eh, it just can't please everyone. Though I might as well stop whining and see how things will end.

New MVs released in lieu of Mekakucity actor's upcoming finale both utilizing the songs from the ending and opening.

So wonderful, just so heart-poundingly beautiful. I think these Mvs are rather straightforward to interpret, regardless I would people to draw their own conclusions before seeing mine.
HYPE. HYPE. HYPE.
Edit: Ohhhhh...well it wasn't good but it wasn't awful.

I have to say, that was the worst episode out of the twelve. They literally ran out of budget on this one, and how Saeru went down - even though I already knew he will go down - was just... this is supposed to be deep! DEEP!
That being said, like I expected it does bridge the gap up to STR.

Agreed, it was good that they tied up but things like skimming over Toumei Answer, brushing over Hiyori's true feelings towards Hibiya, etc. and the finicky way the finale carried out made the overall experience disjointed.
My feelings towards Mekakucity Actors can best be described disappointment, I expected something normal at the very least but was left with a subpar experience that will likely negatively influence the image of Kagerou Project. I'm still clinging onto the hope that my interpretation of Daze was correct.
