Mmm I don't know how I feel about this anime ;o; It brought me tears.

But Lemon being part of the MIB was epic LOL and even rinon was there! xD. Tetsurou & Mio possible relationship was great also since kanna wouldn't appreciate tetsurou at all!.

I really never stood Ichika and Kaito, every time they were alone I felt like puking rainbow -3- , even though everyone else was wonderful I can't really give this a 10/10 >.<

8/10 because I loved lemon, rinon, tetsurou & the opening and ending theme songs x3

Umm fine anime I guess...

So let me get this straight:
Ichika managed to return in the end cuz the Men in Black organization managed to reverse-engineer at least some sort of spaceship prototype that could travel at superluminal speeds thanks to Rino's assistance (and possibly Ichika's sister) within the span of several years therefore upgrading Earth's status and allowing "first contact" with this Galactic Organization?? Riiiight... well at least things worked out in the end. Oh and Remon WAS quite cool, hands-down my favorite character.
You sure have a whole story made up in your head. I'm more willing to bite that she did the same thing Mizuho did: escape from her planet again and crash land on Earth. Her sister might have helped her do the "delete all info about Earth" part as well. And yes, that's why there was no information about Earth in Ichika's maps, Mizuho deleted any evidence the planet even existed.

There are some trolls in here

Guilty Crowns ending has nothing to do with this.

This show's ending was great and emotional. Explains why you're so butthurt.

So was Guilty Crown's. I guess there were just too many layers of complexity for your to wrap your mind around.

Sadly this anime lends itself to be compared to Ichicgo 100% which is about... 200% better.
I'm mad that one of the relationships was never consolidated, and by one, I mean the one that mattered.

I guess the anime had it's moments, but it could have been better.

That ending was perfect. I really loved everyone gathering to watch a film and then passing it on to others. This was perfect closure.
I enjoyed series as a whole and have no complaints about it. Remon was awesome as always and I'm glad I got to find out who's that mysterious Satoshi. Good to know. Also, Remon wasn't lying when she said that she's from MIB? This ep. toally confirmed it. So, from me it's 10/10. I would give 11/10 if Tetsurou and Mio started going out, though.

They could have explained the ending instead of wasting all that time messing around. Remon just randomly happens to be part of the MIB. Did she just stick around the school waiting for aliens? Is she suppose to be related to Ichigo from Please Teacher? I'm guessing they took the ship designs and built their own ship and hooked up with the federation?And if that was Mizuho that left that message? That doesn't make sense when you watch the ending of Please Teacher. And how much time separates these shows?They make it sound like decades.Hopefully there is an OVA to explain all the holes they left behind.

8/10 for me for this series. The inconclusive love pentagon is the thing that lowered the score for me. Not sure where all the characters stand against each other after Ichika left. Does Kanna still like Kaito? Does Tetsuro still have feelings for Kanna? At the start of the series some of us guessed that the couple pairings would be:

Kaito x Kanna
Tetsuro x Mio
Remon and Ichika can stay forever alone (jks)

But all the relationships were a bit hazy at the end. I know it might've been better to just let everyone have mixed feelings for each other, but it just feels kind of weird, I dunno.

I'm glad for that teaser shot at the very end with Ichika wearing the coat that Kaito's sister bought; of course it makes you suspect she came back to Earth, and then of course it makes you think about how Kaito and Ichika's relationship ended up as a result. Nobody knows for sure, but that's up to the viewer's imagination.

That's what some people have been saying. I couldn't really tell. I am curious as to what was written on the tree. I assume it was something written by Mizuho and Kei.

Ah it says "Mizuho" read around and found that. That makes this even better.


I'd say it's an easter egg more than anything though....Mostly because the voice said she was forced to leave. Mizuho wasn't, as well as this series gave off the vibe that the alien federation didn't know about planet Earth, however in Onegai, they had a name for it....Was a bunch of numbers but still.

Great series and I really like how they did the ending leaving it to the viewers to figure out how it ended. I knew the second they showed the video with her wearing that shirt that she had come back. I really didn't notice all the references to Onegai Teacher, its been a while since i saw it but now that i have read some of the comments makes me want to re-watch Onegai and then come back to re-watch this so i can put the two together and make my own interpertations of the whole combination. Its definitely something to look forward to doing. Overall i really liked this series only thing i really wished for was a lil more on the side characters at the very end but still a great ending to a great anime.

Steel is my body and Fire is my blood,

Unknown to Death,

So as I pray, unlimited blade works"

as much as this episode was sweet and lovable. and that instead of dwelling over possible romances, this anime actually DID SOMETHING about it for the most part.
this anime didn't really do anything to fabulous to me. i don't know, it didn't really stick out or anything. /: but i'm giving it an 8/10 because it was a nice journey. it was mellow and sweet and just right.

i guess i just didn't really connect with anyone other than mio and testurou.

oh and MIB remon. ahahhaha.

good series.

when they sat down to watch the movie i had pure chills till the end. god i love Remon. i was going to give the show an 8 but because this ending was wonderful and this is the ONLY comedy/drama that has come close to matching Toradora in terms of balancing the two genres along with a wonderful dynamic cast, i'm bumping it up to a 9.

I already knew that was going to end up like Onegai Teacher but the end still surprise me a bit.

Remon as a MIB member was hilarious.

Aah, it was fun while it lasted. But the ending really sucked. It's understandable that they were running out of screentime, but still, could've planned the whole thing better. It's nice to see that Ichika is apparently back (and Rinon too - or what, Ichika has to go back no matter what, to preserve secrecy... or something, but that creature is perfectly okay?), but that whole glimpse in the end - blink and you'll miss it - was seriously unconvincing.

8/10


Lemon was by far the biggest wild card in the show. You always felt there was more to her than was on the surface. It was to the point of speculation whether she was a alien herself.

The whole part of her being part of MIB was quite interesting. Yes, MIB does have a cheesy pop culture element to it. But the reveal explained a lot about how she was able to pull off the things she did. How she knew about Ichika from the start. Why she was always making snide vague remarks about her age. Even the part when she rolls her eyes when the others were telling a frightened Ichika there was "no such thing as MIB." she even tells them after that she was "an MIB agent" and the laughed at it. In some cases the reveal of her actually being MIB made those scenes more hilarious.

It also helped with any possible consistency issues with Lemon always being at the right place at the right time. It tells us that she was a Woman among boys and girls. Also, that she had the resources to handle monitoring the situation and pushing the developments in the right direction.

MIB thing wasn't an asspull as someone tried to put it. It was the plan from the start. The references to MIB were made throughout the series. It was done very well.

I think the only thing that could have been done to make Lemon's story better is the reveal that she was a transfer student herself. They made it rather ambiguous as to why she had a different school uniform than everyone else. I don't think having her also be a transfer student would have done anything to ruin the big surprise.

That was actually a really beautiful ending. I've been very pleasantly surprised with it. I honestly thought that Senpai would stay with Kai. The show as a whole was very well executed, despite having a cliche story and uninteresting main characters. The side characters were well-developed though and I really enjoyed them.

I used to be a die-hard Kanna fan, and thus hated Kai and Ichika, but seeing them like this has really changed me. I feel happy for them and I'm rooted them on this last episode :)

And about the ending: DID ICHIKA COME BACK?! <33
Oh, and the whole scenario of the last scene was sweet.
I wasn't too attached to Ichika or Kai, so I didn't cry, but I must admit the last scenes were very touching. Tugged on the heartstrings :)

So. I give the show an 8/10. This ending deserves a 9/10, but the show overall was very cliche; nothing very original. The animation and execution were amazing though, so it gets props for that :3

Yes, Ichika came back. You can tell. She had the clothes Kaito's sister brought her AFTER she had left. Kinda impossible to give someone something when they aren't there no? And the movie at the end is supposed to be a year after she left Earth. Basically, she either ran away or at the very worst she was granted permission to come back for "business". The fact an MIB exists at the very least means Earth knows of alien civilizations so really, wouldn't they at least consider them in a "probabtion" status rather than outright primitive (as in, already knowledgeable but not yet capable of intergalatic travel).

If she "is" Ichigo then she knew. Even if she didn't she probably did. She basically trolled her with the whole alien thing from the very begginning of her movie script.

Ok, so Remon is not an alien but a member of MIB and so as Tetsuro's brother in law..........

So, there is a bit of connection between "Onegai Taecher" and this anime.

So, this anime kinda gave us a hint that Icihka had come back.

Ichika comes back at the end cause she is wearing the shirt that Kaito's sister brought back from Bolivia.

The last two episodes were great, but otherwise the story was pretty generic.

7/10 AnoNatsu was a decent watch.

Great anime, only lacking in the ending.

That last scene was unnecessary. It did not confirm nor reject whether ichika and kaito eventually got back together.

Knowledge that the MIB had a spacecraft already suggested that there was the possibility.

Ichika being in a video makes u wonder whether they eventually met up or if it was special effects

Nice wrap-up with connections to Onegai series and plausible connections between Remon and Ichigo. The additional ending scene in the screening of the movie at school with Ichika dressed in Bolivian souvenir shirt confirms that she came back relatively quickly. I will leave this with a high mark if only because Remon was such a troll....

Loved the ending too much to talk about so I'll just ask this.

I really think this and Onegai Teacher are the same universe so after that ending I have a theory: Ano Natsu was before Onegai Teacher because if you think about it in that series she's half human half alien and they all make contact with humans with no issue.
Does anyone else think this is plausible?

Ah finished ^^ this was an awesome series. Kaito and Ichika got back together only shown in the film movie which Kaito finally completed and Ichika's spaceship broke again XD.
I was suprised to hear Kazami's Voice from Onegai Teacher in this last episode. And is that the SAME Lake that took place in Onegai Teacher as well?
And I believe Remon is Ichigo, even after so many years passed she still has the "standstill" condition for being eternally 17. Well thats my theory anyways :P.

But from the scene at the lake it looks like it's the opposite
first was Onegai and than some time later Ichika came to Earth
also it was told that memory of this event were somehow erased

what is weird was, if I recall properly, Onegai was set in some future but here we don't see to much of advance (ok in Onegai also but it was told if memory serves)

Loved it! Hmmm prob my favorite show this season. It really didn't disappoint me at all. The last two episodes were pretty powerful.

Thank God Ichika was able to come back to Earth. Going to have to give props to Remon and Rinon (...and MIB lol) for that advancement.

It would of been an excellent serious regardless but the way it ended left me with smile and a tear instead of just the latter.
