I was hoping for an interesting ending to the anime, but it was just bullshit and confusion.

Claire for no apparent reason just suddenly defeated Priscilla, then Raki stopped her from killing Priscilla. Jean turns Claire back reminding her of the spirits entrusted to her. Scenes of people entrusting her to kill Priscilla play (um, WTF? How does that make any sense in this context?). Everyone survives except for the four commanders. Miria, Deneve, Helen, and Claire desert, none with any real reason except Deneve -- just on a whim.

Such a disapointment that a series that started so strong ended so weakly. I think that even without a continuation, it would have been better to follow the manga to the end rather than push for a conclusion written by writers for whom this is just another story that they don't really care about.
