Its messy but its fun
(Cross-posted from Season 1 for visibility.)
I'm not going to bother taking an average rating for this show—partly because I didn't rate all of the episodes, and partly because I already know what I want to rate it without needing the starting point I get from calculating an arithmetic mean. (I started watching Akuma no Riddle 1,646 days ago. Wow. That was back when I preferred to separate Western media and anime on Trakt and MyAnimeList, respectively, hence my lack of episode ratings from early in the series. MAL doesn't really have those.)
This show is… OK. It's interesting enough, and the art is pretty good. Featuring a different character in each ending, with a unique song to go with it, was a nice touch, and isn't something that many anime do.
The story did go off the rails a bit, though, toward the end. I lost any ability to suspend my disbelief, and kinda just had to go along for the ride while trying to ignore all the plot armor and such. (I wasn't entirely successful in trying, at that.)
At some point I'll probably watch the special episode, but I doubt I'll update my review at that time. There's not much it could do to change my existing rating. Akuma no Riddle (no, I will not use the nonsensical English title) is a solid "Fine" 6/10. If I hadn't enjoyed some of the ride, it would score lower of course, but I don't regret finishing the series. It was a decent enough use of time.
This starts out very interesting, but the series becomes difficult to watch at times b/c of Haru (red hair female) naive nature of trying to be friends with the assassins trying to kill her. There were some cool fights, along with cool music. Azuma was a solid character; however, I wasn't too crazy with the happy-go-luck ending. Overall, I'd check this series out as its entertaining discovering the mysteries of the assassins trying to kill Haru.
