It is really really sad. I frikin loved ZnT. One of the funniest anime out there and probably what defined tsundere for me with Louise. Not to mention, season 2 ending had to be for me the most touching ending to an anime I ever saw. I am not gonna lie, I think I may even have shed some manly tears over the last scenario when Saito rushes into the battlefield all by himself, against 70,000 soldiers. Epic doesn't describe the scenario properly.

So sad to see him go. My prayers and condolences go to him of course. What a great author he was.

Have you seen the final season?  I haven't yet, gotta get on that.  And yeah, the ending to that season was epic, he did a number on those troops with his trusty sword.

Yeah I watched the final season when it came out. If you think Derf was cool in the second season, wait till you get towards the end of season 4. I won't spoil it but there definitely was a wtf moment towards the end in regards to Derf. Final season was good and I really liked the ending to the anime but second season was still my favourite among them. In fact it was so good that it made me go and actually read fan translation of the visual novel, which is what the anime is derived from. I got to say the VNs are much MUCH more descriptive. The anime cut back on a LOT of stuff and changed many things. I would like to know how the ending in the VNs turned out but the final volume has not been translated yet. From what I hear, the final boss of season 4 and how it ended was completely different from what the original VN had. Nonetheless it was still good :)
