Great end. It made up for the FORCED DRAMA last couple of episodes. The story is about Ohana sharing a small part of her life. You got to see her grow up and I enjoyed everything about the series. The bitter sweet end is great just like True Tears.

Speaking of True Tears, they threw in a cameo with Shinichirō's dad.

8/10..

very enjoyable slice of life.. i didn't feel like it dragged but it had a couple of ups and downs.. good thing it has great production and memorable characters.. and it succeeded in making me love that inn as well.. yes, the inn and the people related to it is the whole point of the show..
anyway, True Tears is still the best show of P.A. Works..

That was a pretty great ending! It always impresses me how whenever a slice of life ends, I'm always sad that I won't get a chance to visit that little world anymore. I didn't think I'd be sad with this one, but I was.

The stuff with Ohana's grandma was really well done, I think seeing her walk around the empty inn was probably the most emotional scene of the entire show. Very well done. : )


I think you summed it up quite nicely.

I wonder what Sui and Satsuki wished for on their wooden plaques during the festival..

Really enjoyed the conclusion, although I was expecting to feel more emotional; it was very heartwarming and nostalgic - loved the throwbacks to similar scenes in episode 1.

Overall a 9/10 for me (would be 8.5 if not for the stunning animation).

The ending was pretty good. Didn't really make me shed a single tear or anything, but it was indeed such a soft heart warming one.

I got to say, I loved the ending, but I agree with most people that the middle episodes were lackluster. The beginning and end were great though.

I enjoyed my time with this anime, 8/10. I wonder if there will be an OVA or second season...

I want an OVA or second season because I didn't get to see Ohana & Ko together ;____; They never officially got together so aaaa. >__<

I liked Hanasaku Iroha. It was light and happy :) Not my one of my absolute favourites but still good.

8/10 ♥

solid 8..i should have given it 9..but i was thinking that..i dont really like the plot of the anime except for some romantic tidbits between ohana and ko-chan.

i agree with others..it could be much appreciated with just 11-12 or 13 eps only.maybe it could have been a lot better. sometimes, fillers drag teh story down.

Really liked this series alot, cant believe its already been 2 season since the start of this show.

Overall pretty good end, the beginning was great but got sorta mediocre halfway through but the ending was great and it saved the series.

Never thought that closing down the inn would be such a good ending.

I personally enjoyed this anime from start to end because I found that I can identify in some way with all the characters. I nearly cried after watching the end because I still wanted more! Sadly, only the first 4 chapters of the manga have been scanned and translated and 'm waiting for more to be published.I'm not a huge manga fan but i really, really would like to see more.

This isn’t the real me. I want to discover a more brilliant self. ~Ohana Matsumae, Hanasaku Iroha

Good show overall although there were several episodes that almost made me lose interest. I can't say I liked all the characters, but I did grow fond of Ohana so I am definitely going to miss this show.

7/10 for ending, 8/10 overall.

I watched this anime thinking it would be one of my top picks. Unfortunately, like others have said, it slowly dwindled into mediocrity. It wasn't bad but it definitely could have done better. I can praise HanaIro for not having an ending that made me mad. Instead, I felt an empty completion with no emotion which is neither good nor bad.

Great, satisfying ending. I enjoyed this series a lot more than I thought I would. Very relaxing, with a hint of drama. A feel good show. Loved how most of the characters were handled, Sui especially. Maybe the Ko/Ohana relationship could have had more development but it was still a fun series. 8/10

As much as it was nice seeing ko and ohana have moments tgt, but i felt the ending was too rushed. I guess directors just didn't want to make fans happy by showing longer scenes of ko and ohana. And weirdo had to come in and spoil the moment when ko was abt to ask ohana on a date.

That yakisoba guy who seemingly whipped up a heart in 5 seconds after Ohana's confession is officially the most badass character in the series.

ArcticMech said:
It wasn't without its bumps, but I pretty much enjoyed the entire ride. Aside from the much expected confession, the finale was low on drama in favor of wrapping the show up with a pretty little bow on it.

Though it was shocking when the closing of Kissuisou was first suggested, it seemed like the perfect thing to do in the end. I don't think they could've handled that any better (Enishi ends up looking good? You don't say?).

I'll miss this show. It was time well spent.

Overall it was good anime which I really enjoyed. That is if you put aside the whole forced drama (ep. 23), romance (did Ohana end up dating Ko or not? She said that she's still a bud but they both like each and already confessed..) and the whole Enishi & Takako (they should have had more screentime so their wedding wouldn't have felt so forced). My biggest complaint is that Yuina didn't get enough screentime. I thought that she's going to be major character but in the end she became only supporting one. That's a pity since she's the best character in series. As for ending itself, I liked it. Although I really wished that Sui would change her mind, I suppose it's for the best. It's not like Kissuiso was closed down forever. There was no way Enishi and Takako would have managed the inn by themselves. They need experience which will come in handy when one day they will open inn again. Thumbs up for a thoughtful ending. So, that's 9/10 from me. :)

I don't think that she was referring to her and Ko in that sense, really. When she mentioned she was still a bud, I think it was in reference to her outlook on life and how much she will grow as a person because, after all, this entire series was about Ohana growing as a person. It contained other elements but at its heart, this series is about Ohana.

That was a good run of 26 eps series, with confidency other short series obviously lack with good reason. Ive always enjoyed stories about part of the world we havent or wont experience ourselves, without harem or moe, more to the realistic but not to plain, that still leaves some sparks in your eyes, and one that will sell for its content instead of its ecchi goods.

Im giving the series 8 overall despite it being lower than its present score, but I think the score system is over inflated, where top scores are granted too generously.

That last Ohana's school uniform, so middle school-ish dont you think? Hey, I really wanted to find some glaring thing that bothered me.

Great ending. Best ending possible with the line up. This series is a good one. It's not the best in thw world but it really puts itself out of the pack. As a series that mainly focused on the hardships of working at an inn and not overly focusing on other things like the love aspect, I think it has done a good job. With a solid production behind it, it turned out great.

This is about working at an inn. The love dramas are not the main concern.

9/10 from me.
Ren was great this last episode was well. The empty inn was a sad sight.

Nice, neat ending. It was great festing it up with Ohana and the gang, and overall a good ride with its share of ups and downs. I have no regrets seeing this, it was a good watch for two seasons, after all.

I'm glad Tohru didn't have a sudden change of heart pursuing Minchi, it would have been unrealistic, even if I feel sorry for her. Enjoyed the landlady bits too. 4/5.

I'm glad it's finally over, felt like it dragged on at times. Overall it was a positive experience, but fell short of what it promised. 7/10.

A perfect ending. This kind of ending fits the show the most. A little more about the relationship between Ohana and Kou would have been nice though. Not putting a kiss is alright (would've been great though), but at least show them going on a date or doing something together in Tokyo, or something like that.
A 2nd season is absolutely a no-go, it would be completely useless since this show was meant to complete everything in one go. An OVA would be nice to see the characters again, but would be useless too, though I want it deep inside.
This was one of the shows I liked the most from the last two seasons, it feels really weird now that I won't be able to watch it anymore from now on.
In terms of story I would give this show an 8-9/10, but including everything else I think I'll give it a 10/10. Also I just like it so much, that I can't do anything but that.

Nice ending! :O Well everything was settled nicely I think ... it was nice to see everyone doing what they loved best at the end. Wait, so is Ohana still at the same school since she was wearing the uniform at the beginning too? O_O I thought that was her middle school one ... bah! Whatever D:
Overall ... I loved this show! All the characters were awesome, the story was interesting too, and everything else (animation, music) were really good! :D I feel like I should give it a 10 but something is stopping me ... so I will have to be happy with giving this a 9/10

For a last episode it was pretty good. It was hard not to go AWWWWW when Ohana was trying to confess to Kou and finally did.

However, for the first time I found myself agreeing with Minko, I felt bad for Tohru. I wish he had at least confessed, but he didn't, so that was disappointing. If anything, I would hope that he would find someone suited for him, and I am NOT referring to Minko.

Overall, an enjoyable anime.
