  • I second Biscutbuu; you can't watch this one and not tear up at the end at least a little. Also, all the music set to it was relatively awesome.

  • damn it i think im watching this anime again ;__;

  • The show is good on English sub because the dub sucks

  • Ron Paul 2012

  • awsom story. And realy sad one. One of best anime i ever watched.

  • Demon King Daimao and this = Win

  • what is this may i ask?

  • @sovietbeatle8 "This Ugly Yet Beautiful World". thats really what its called its on netflix if you're interested in it.

  • ok i watched the ENTIRE anime..it was shit..whoever says watch it is not looking ou foryour bst intrest

  • @Temporalsworn It was a great anime. A good story, characters, etc. Could have toned down on the nudity a bit, but still. I also tend not to listen to people who say something sucks because that doesn't mean I think it will suck, and they just tend to be assholes. Especially when they can't even spell right. Hint hint.

  • @ValiantHellfire ok im not going to take shit from someon who says to tone DOWN on nudity if anything hey should have shown morebcaue it was soooo boring

  • @Temporalsworn more because*

  • This show is like a drug; I can't stop watching or thinking about it

  • Comment removed

  • Sounds a bit like Neon Genesis Evangelion's op.

  • @ValiantHellfire they are both sung by takahashi yoko. she is an amazing singer.

  • @SilvaSquirrel I figured that, but wasn't quite sure.

  • ironic how i came to love this anime after netflix recommended it to me after watching hetalia

  • WHY IS THE ENDING SO SAD?!

  • I wish that Akari and Ryou was a pair. Ryou really likes Akari but they can't be together together because they are a family. I think that they make a great couple!!!

  • @mei1tennisworld

    isn't she like 13?

  • Gainax is about one of the last anime companies that still shines with the light from the age of legends.

    80s-95 best anime years. then it went to hell and grew really really large breasts for no good reasons other than to sell a shitty product. I wouldn't mind if the product in question wasn't so bad. but the boob was the only thing to watch for, and that pisses me off.

  • does this come out like on cartoonnetwork or nicktoons or sumthing?

  • @SatchelAttamore

    No. Just..... no.

  • I love the end!!

    :D

  • i cryed at the end

  • Now I have to watch the anime again. I forgot how good, though short, it was.

  • hmm, does the sequence even exist?? someone?? if not, i'm going to move on to next anime. I will keep reminiscing this in mind tho if i stay like this...

  • it's happy ending, i imagine that both Hikari and Akari return to them few years later, then both Takeru n Hikari do what they imagine before they both part ways. Well, having a son and peaceful life , with aionios n kuon also..hehe,. I want it like this, dont change me if yur idea worse...T_T

  • seems like ppl here also think as me ^_^, thx guys, i cried watching this anime T_T.....anyone know any sequence for this anime?? do tell me!! pls

  • could you please dub this with gold forever by the wanted?? thanx

  • I thought this was a great series that should have another season to bring hikari and akari back to their love ones

  • @agumontamer im agreed with u, is there the sequence for this anime?

  • @agumontamer agreed, u know any sequence for this anime?

  • Good openingm shame the show sucked so vey hard.

  • You have to love the violin.

  • i have seen 56 animes i think this is a good opening song

  • ok i am truly touched by this song

  • GAINAX <___< GAIS GAIS GAIS GAIS WAIT WAIT WAIT STOP DON'T EVEN

  • sometimes when im watching an anime i forget its an anime like i did with this one it was really epic ;^;

  • what happend at the end :o ???

    i wanna know !!!!!

  • @winterklande Watch it ! ^^

  • Hikari& Takeru <3

  • I like this anime but i believe it could have been better

  • ddd

  • I think this could have went longer it was really short in my opinion

  • i hate those who hated this...2 ppl

  • This is anime was awesome untill the end. i didn't really care for hikari and tokeru but i LOVED Akari and ryou! it ended retardedly. and was it me or did everytime tokeru transformed he looked gayer and gayer until it ended. i thought he looked awesome at the beginning but then... he looked like a gay shark. and i hated mari. HE'S YOUR COUSIN! YOUR MOMS ARE SISTERS! (at least i think that's the relation.) YUCK!

  • I just finished this anime, and now I'm sad that there isn't any more.

  • unfortunatly it had a sad but good ending

  • i love this show it had a really good story and was really well done

  • 12 more 12 more bring in back this romance could not go unfinished (technically) they went into space and said they'd be back (Good Ending) Bring it back btw Bring Shuffle! back while ur taking requests.

  • @alphawolf2121 It is finished. The last time Hikari and Akari were there was the last major extinction, so they won't be back until it's time to decide if there should be another one. That should be several million years. The most they could do is have the same plotline in another time period, maybe when humans really need to be killed off, yet they have the technology to fight her powers anyway. She could find another human just like Takeru, but instead of Takeru 2 helping to keep(continued)

  • the world intact, he could help fix it. There could be an actual antagonist (some shady military leader) who has powers kinda like Takeru. Then Hikari and Takeru 2 have to defeat him together. Takeru 2 will be mortally wounded, and will go with Hikari the next time she leaves, unlike the original Takeru.

    I should be the goddamn writer for Gainax

  • *sigh* good times

  • can i ask you somethis who is the creator of this This Ugly Yet Beautiful World?

  • @TinyGurl90 Shouji Saeki and Hiroyuki Yamaga.

  • @KiraYamatoGXX is there anime tht is create from Shouji Saeki or Hiroyuki Yamaga??

  • I have one question about this anime. Where did those monsters come from? I never understood that part

  • @ShdwPat13 from what i could gather, the monster were never the point....

  • my dad is an anime fan so I got my anime fan ness from him and well he told me alot of good anime not all but alot good anime is usually short he was so right

  • the lyrics to this song are so meaningful the world is so dark yet is so filled with light it's weird

  • For once I wish an anime would end in a very dark way...no hope....dispair....ruination..­.everyone dies and perishes.....*goes into dark place*

  • @InTenSecondsFlat Why the ending was sappy sad and happy so yeah Hikari and Akari go away forever

  • such a terribly underrated anime. I loved it when I first saw it, and I still do.

  • hey, does anyone know the exact place to find the song that plays durring the next episode preview its a violin rendition of this song, and i really wanted to listen to that instead of the vocal version.... TT_TT someone help

  • omg... violin >__< i just came

  • really...this title .. ''this ugly yet beautifull world'' ...so true...

  • i love this anime but on net flix it only shows up to 12 episodes and im so madddd >.< i wanna watch more i have become addicted to it.... are they still makeing this like another season or something???

  • @lovethescenegirls

    Theres only 12 episodes, unfortunately...Did Netflix tell you that there were 24 episodes? It told me that and when the episode 12 preview said it was the final episode I was so mad since they messed up like that >:(

  • @ShdwPat13 yes they did that to me i was so freaking mad

  • :(

    

  • I don't cry much, but the ending of this anime put me in tears.

  • @AndrewFaben Same here...

  • @AndrewFaben Me too! endless tears

  • There is a great message in this song.

  • luv this song ^^

  • I just got done watching this series again. When life turns for the worst, which mine has nearly hit rock bottom, I find this series be so uplifting that I cannot help but remember what it is like to smile and laugh aloud again.

  • this is the best anime ever lol x

  • This is one of my most favorite animes. It was so sad that Hikari and Akari left. It would have been better if they stayed. I hate how people say Ryo and Akari should have got married. She was 13 and Ryo was 16 I think. Besides, Akari was family, not a love. This is THE best anime in the WORLD I think....I thought Mari would have been Hikari after Hikari left or something...lol

  • @Galarron you know towards the end when akari about to go away forever with Hikari Ryo was about to kiss her and she was all like "none of that were family remember." I was so sad 3 year age difference not a big deal they should of kissed

  • @wingslovedvalkria Yeah. but Akari always believed she was a family, and not a lover of some sort. She always loved him. But as family.

  • I think this was the best anime I've ever seen. The story was well thought-out, the ending was great (unlike in many anime series), the characters weren't so superficial as in some other series. On top of that this nice opening song. I really enjoyed it, and I'll recommend it to anyone (over 16, haha).

  • Comment removed

  • im 101% serious how many times did they kiss i only watched eps 1(okay half of that)

    5, 7(comcast didnt post ep6.), ep8, ep9, ep10, ep11,and ep12 (my fave was the one at the beach )

    this anime made me a otaku without knowing it and it made me think all good thing have to end

  • Am i the only one who thought this anime had a really sad ending? I was close to tears :(

  • @Jackkeaton I'm with you on that. i really wished that they could of stayed together. the ending threw me off because it wasn't like most here they do get to be with one another. I wish they had more episodes.

  • @Jackkeaton i WAS in tears. i am emotanal......NO, NOT EMO!!!

  • @Jackkeaton You need to watch Clannad then, I promise you will cry HARD!!!!!! I sure as hell did. Besides this anime wasn't supposed to end like that, this show was supposed to have 24-48 episodes have a happy ending where they lived happily together forever. But the creator ran outta funds from various companies because those companies thought that This Ugly Yet Beautiful World would have no fans and be a faliure. Well I'm saying that I will always and forever be a fan!!! :)

  • @keldog4157 Ive watched all the KEY animes and you're right. I cried very hard at all of them... And im a guy! (Not that that really makes a difference). I think the saddest anime ive ever watched though is 'Rumbling Hearts'. It has a japanese name but I cant remember what it is off the top of my head. Check it out :)

  • @Jackkeaton huh, I thought it was a happy ending because even if hikari did leave in the end at least she sad that they would meet again someday.

  • @sonroberthan I know theres that possibility that they might meet again - But those visions of them as a married couple with a child made me sad... Oh well

  • @Jackkeaton u should be happy n just imagine that those things will happen tho...i think it's jz a few years (2-3 years) before they return to earth. Well, Hikari said that the red butterfly need a new place rite?? i think after they found a new place, the return to earth tho~~

  • @Jackkeaton I did cry. Lol I thought it was one of my favorite animes. I just wished it was longer with a better ending.

  • @Jackkeaton Close to tears!? I was crying my heart out. Although it was only sad at the the, not all the way through.

  • @Jackkeaton I saw this when I was about 11 and I cried D:

  • Is the manga titled the same?

  • @ennyLnosillA i was on the edge of tear when i fond out there is not one

  • good job. :D

  • just saying: this anime is quite similar to the manga alive - the final evolution, so if you like this anime, read it!

  • I loved this anime so much, epic plotline and amazing characters! Love hikari :D

  • This anime had such a good story

  • This is my favourite anime of all time.

  • I love the anime but honestly it has the worst transformation ever, he looks really stupid

  • found it! This Ugly Yet Beautiful World

  • wat anime is this?

  • @StarAngel963 this ugly yet beautiful world

  • Love the anime, depressing ending tho.

  • I realy like this anime but i just hate its endig...not realy a happyend...

  • @7SoulReaper9 That's what fan fiction is for :D, though I haven't investigated myself. I just like to lay in bed and make up what happened after the end of the 12th episode so there is a happy ending. It would be better though if a 13th episode was added (with a happy ending) to lay people's minds to rest.

  • @mrhappyismissing I always think about what it would be like if hakari and akari ever came back to earth in the distant future and hikari met takeru's decendant and started a relationship with him.

  • @sonroberthan hikari loved akari rite?? y his descendant? she got her own heart ...

  • @Nerzification what are you talking about? I'm saying if they made a season two they should have hikar and akari go back to earth in the future and meet the main characters descendants.

  • @sonroberthan owh i see, then, i prefer it's their descendant more tho ...in season 2 xD

  • @Nerzification yes thats what i mean lol.

  • @sonroberthan yea yea >_< , any nice anime to watch?

  • @Nerzification are you asking me for suggestions? I guess i could suggest higurashi, umineko, shakugan no shana, air gear, a-channel, lucky star, and gurren laggan.

  • @sonroberthan thx!! add me also..

    

  • @sonroberthan

    no that would never work, think of this anime as a book, it had its begining middle and end, but if they had a season 2 it would ruin what it set up in the previous season. maybe a spin off?

  • @blackman2462 i thought so to. i was just saying IF they had a season 2 it should be like that. also i don't think a spin off would be a good idea because it just wouldn't be the same.

  • i personally like the ending... it keeps you thinkin :)

  • This anime is awesome. Damnit!!! If only it didnt have to remind me of elfen lied!!!! That was screwed up shit!!! >.<'

  • and right now I noticed, los subs estan en español :)

  • a really well made anime, I wish they continued it =/ in my opinion the end could've been better but I still liked it

  • this anime....makes me TT_TT everytime i watch the ending

  • this sort of reminds me of evangelion. started as happy/adventure/action/school etc but ended tragically....

  • this anime is so beautiful

  • loved the anime

  • wow, the song is awesome and the lyrics gave me goosebumps. this song really is beautiful

  • I LOVE THIS. I was a mug and paid £20 a dvd for it years back. Now all three are boxed together for £20! Bargain.

  • I LOVE THIS. I was a mug and paid £20 a dvd for it years back. Now all three are boxed together for £20! Bargain.

  • @sailorDaisy and its free on the internet!

  • @Jackkeaton Oh I know! Salt in the wound! At least I've had the pleasure of it for a good number of years now. Guess it was worth the £60 I had to spend.... Oh well who cares I'm definitely made of money!

  • 2:56 zu schönnnn O______________ö =(((

  • that anime was awesome! evil hikari scared the living shit out of me! but it was amazing! first anime that has a first good opening! :)

  • This song is amazing.

    I roleplay Akari, but with the power and evil side of Hikari. It's just amazing. Akari is so adorable.

  • I recognise the orange hair and green eyes from anither anime...It's not pokeon...GAAAHHH!!! D:

  • one of the few anime has GOOD opening songs...

  • Damn, I wanna watch this anime again! >.<

  • I now have to watch this. And I don't see why Naruto and Bleach, are the shows that everyone is having a Jizzfest over, Those two shows suck [My opinion] As far as I'm concerned, I only watch Bleach when I'm pouring it on my Whites. And Naruto, I only watch it for the theme songs and Endings.

  • i love this song. anime series not so hot

  • The truth can be barried underneath Many líes but cannot be hidden.

  • They Only Made 12 Episodes A New Season Is Coming Out.... Just Be Paitent..

  • @narutouchiha1946 WHOA WHEN I HAV @ SEE THIS NOOW!!!!!!! (spazzez)

  • @narutouchiha1946 11 months ago.... i don'y think they are.... maybe an OVA

  • @narutouchiha1946 Really?

  • I just watched all the episodes recently! It was way too short... :(

  • what does those letters in 0:03 mean?

    as far as i figured its "nonteroppuōpuningu"... i see "ōpuningu" as "opening" but whats "nonteroppu"?

  • 36-38 totally higurashi-like... 0_0

  • is the name of this anime This Ugly Yet Beautiful World?

  • @blossomluver1 Yes, that is the name of the anime.

  • @KiraYamatoGXX ok thank you for telling me^^

  • @blossomluver1 yeah it is. it's short but it's good

  • this anime is so awesome i love akari lol :)

  • @665scotty Indeed it is, and me too. :) I like all the characters.

  • Comment removed

  • this anime wasnt bad at all just hated the cliff hanger ending i mean they couldve extended it

  • @gyasiford What is so funny? I don't see anything funny at all about that.

  • @KiraYamatoGXX did you know the artist's first name is YOUKO ? There is a u in there. I know because I got this song on my Ipod. Coincidentaly there is also an artist named Yoko Takahashi who did work on ugly yet beautiful world, but Metamorphose is not under her name.

  • @KiraYamatoGXX He was probably laughing at how cliched that part is, as it's used so often in anime. Although i don't see why it's that funny.

    *Late comment is late*

  • @gyasiford Lmao, you're right that's such an overused style.

  • @gyasiford what was so funny about that part? I see nothing to laugh about there.

  • what this anime about?please tell me

  • i love this song. and the anime is AMAY-ZING! I wish they made more episodes

  • same

  • @escaper88 naw, i disagree... if they made more than 12 episodes, it would've turned into something like naruto, when you're just waiting for every one to marry off, all the bad guys murdered, and a happily ever after... does that make any sense?

  • @escaper88 it's only what, like 12 episodes.
