| I was team Eba though as others put it, I do feel for Asuka but MC should've been more upfront about it with his feelings earlier but I guess it would've been the same result. Guess I appreciate Rin acting as the conscience for MC. 7/10 maybe an 8. Hey, this is better than most VN adaptations that go for the romantic drama aspect and I just came from them, one of those was Kiminozo, god was that a chore to finish since it ended with not best girl winning and the OVA was a bad excuse.. |

| The dude is pretty messed up. |

Mif_2124 said: Czechbiohazard said: I feel the same way. After Haurto's best friend died and Eba gave Haruto the cold shoulder, I thought that Haurto would have forgotten about Eba and stayed with Asuka. I liked Asuka. I disliked Haurto and Eba for their indecisiveness. Asuka was the better choice. Asuka always loved him, even after he broke up with her to go after Eba. It's sad that she was threw away like trash when she was the only good character in this anime. I don't think Rin was the main villain, I think it was Haruto. It was his indecisiveness that did this, not Rin. Rin might have helped, but it was all Haruto's doing. I was liking this anime until Haruto chose Eba over Asuka. After he did that, I started just started to hate Haurto and Eba. I mean, how many times does Eba have to break up with Haruto? It would be funny is Eba broke up with him again after he just threw Asuka away like a piece of trash. What I'm trying to say is that I liked this anime until the last 2 episodes. If this anime had a different ending where Haruto chose Asuka, I would have liked this anime a lot more. I completely agree with you Could not have said it better myself. Asuka was just totally used in place of Eba. It just made it worse that she was such a sweetheart. Haruto was thoughtless, selfish and just totally inconsiderate. If he'd have let the past go and moved on with Asuka, I would've given this series a much higher score. Asuka was the best thing about this series and I credit my enjoyment of it completely to her character. |

| fuck this ep I really wanted to give this show a 1 after this ep but damnit I can't but still fuck Haruto and fuck Eba god damnit fuck every last one of them. How dear he hurt Asuka. |
| Shigeyasu Yamauchi needs to direct more anime so that we can get more of his distinct and experimental style. He's a great storyteller, too. I was impressed by how he utilized body language to convey the thoughts of the characters without always relying on words. Kimi no Iru Machi went up from a 7/10 to an 8/10 since the last time I saw it in 2015. The seemingly contrived character developments that I took issue with before make more sense to me now. There are still a few bumps in the narrative, but they're just bleeps on my nitpick-dar not really worth ripping into. I feel terrible for Asuka. She didn't deserve how she was treated. People, don't make the same mistake that Haruto made. Speaking from similar experiences, lies can be traumatic. Just be honest and upfront with how you feel. I finally understand Rin's whole motivation now. She was trying to help Yuzuki and Haruto get back together because she was responsible for driving Yuzuki to Tokyo, finding Kyousuke, and starting that whole clusterfuck. This was likely mentioned in a previous episode, but I glossed over it. Excellent show. |

| What a couple of terrible main characters in this show. Eba and Haruto are both scumbags and what, are we supposed to be happy for them? Don't think I will read the manga for this, I will get even more pissed off with these characters. Eba and Haruto just hurt all those around them because of stupid stupid decisions. Also, I just don't get it, if Eba loved him so much, why did she disappeared from his life TWICE? She decided to date someone else for a stupid reason, leave him after the bike guy dies for more than a year, then comes back and follows him around after meeting him at the mixer. And Haruto just reverts back to chasing after her even though she did all those things to him. He basically throws Asuka away like trash the moment Eba walks back into his life. Another thing, I don't understand. When Eba was living with Haruto, she said she likes him and will get him to fall in love with her, right? So, if she intended to do that, why go back to Tokyo and disappear from his life? It was shown that she found out about biker guy's sickness after she returned from Tokyo, so that could not be the reason... I am confused about her and Haruto's motives throughout this entire series. Man, fuck these two characters..this anime is getting a 5/10 from me for the bullshit these two pulled. The cinematography and OP/ED music was good though. |

This was likely mentioned in a previous episode, but I glossed over it. Where did you get this from? Rin said that "It's because when you originally met Nee-san, I was the one who drove her out" She was talking about when they met as kids in the country. She never drove Eba back to Tokyo, at least not from what I know and they never explained it. It was one of the things that pissed me off so much. I always wondered why she left him to go back to Tokyo if she wanted to get him to fall in love with her like she said in that one flashback. |

| Asuka = best girl and Haruto is a jerk for dumping her. Haruto is also a jerk for having a harem and not sharing. |
| Yeahhh Eba is winner. Well nice anime i give 10/10 for it. |
| Saw that predictable ending coming ~4 episodes ago. Not really surprised by the development of the show but somehow felt disappointed by the ending anyway. |
Least degenerate visual novel enjoyer.  |
| I read the manga and then I decided to rewatch the anime, the only thing I can say is that this is a shit adaptation. This animated series has nothing to do with the manga, it focus on the worst part of the series and it makes it even worse of how it was in the manga counterpart. How bad this is, I’m glad I decided to read the manga, otherwise I would had only bad things to say of this work. |
 |
| what a weird anime adaptation. flash backs to present all over. lol fans must have been wtf when they saw this ending. got uruka vibes we cant study knowing who end game girl was while the manga was on going. Jesus. they cut out the backash from friends. oh well. time to read the manga. its binge so and kei works year! |
| Pains me to give this a 5/10 because I'm such a big fan of Heavy Romance/Drama stories and this, right here, could've been so much better with more care. Childhood friends prevailing is totally right up my alley moreover but let's get more into this in a bit. Got to say, I liked the way the past was handled through flashbacks for one thing. Even though it was a little hard to understand things at first, they added up in good time. Childhood friends from the countryside; for some reason, I just love these kinds of stories so adding more to the disappointment ;-; But then the pacing, jeez. Felt like things were just at us, as expected from a 27 volume manga being crammed into a measly one-cour and that too with just 20 minutes of screen-time. Two cours instead would've definitely done a lot better... Anyway, on to the characters now. Aside from a few characters love-struck to our main lead being completely omitted for large chunks of the story, the main leads themselves were, at times, frustrating to keep up with. Mishima, as a result, suffering really hurts. An Eba POV was really missing too, in my opinion. Dat confession in the last episode came off as a little underwhelming because we got little to no indications of that happening. Pretty clear that she was still smitten by him but that's not exactly the same thing as taking up the challenge, after all. Op, on the other hand, was easily the MVP of the show for me. An absolute treat to tune in to every episode! As such, it gets a 5/10 from me. Finished the anime yesterday but couldn't decide between a 5 or a 6 and normally in such cases I'd go for a 5.5, hence 6, but I've decided to stick with a 5 for this. And that pains me... Gah, on to Kimi ga Nozumo Eien and Nana next (after the OVAs)! Hopefully, they'll sate this disappointment... |

| Red haired girl kinda remind me with typical monogatari character with that constant camera angle change that sometimes I thought she's in a wrong show. |
| This turned out to be better than expected. The wishy-washy reality of young love. This is how people act in the real world, sad as it seems. This anime conveys that well. Good job. |
| It was quite obvious that Haruto had his heart stuck on Eba even when he was dating Asuka so I knew their relationship wouldn't work out but that jerk should have been honest with Asuka from the start instead of lying to her. Also Eba feels like a bitch, first she tells him that she loves him then when he confesses to her she runs back to Tokyo and gets together with someone else and only comes back when Haruto decides to move on with Asuka. |

mrbakchoi888 said: zensunni said: I am a Yuzuki fan all the way. I always thought that Haruto was stupid for getting into a relationship with Asuka so soon after Yuzuki told him she didn't want to see him, though it was obvious that she liked him from the beginning of the Tokyo arc. I was really surprised that they changed it from Nanami asking Yuzuki if she was OK stealing Asuka's happiness to Akari. I agree that Rin is the general villain of the piece, but in this particular instance she is pretty blameless. Yes, she manufactured the date to Fantasy Land with Yuzuki, but that was only a small thing. All in all the anime was OK. It was uneven and a bit too loose with the story line, but I still love the story enough that I liked it. But the manga is soooo much better. as a manga reader i didnt think the anime was too bad because it stayed true to the story which was eba dumping haruto for kazama and haruto still loving her after all the years and things shes done to him.sure the anime skipped a lot of details and changed from the manga but i didnt think it was extremely terrible.i would obviously want another company to remake it and actually start from the beginning which tells the true story behind eba and harutos love because i feel this anime adaption just makes eba look like the bitch and is the bearer of bad news when she actually isnt. however regarding this episode.dear lord it wasnt even close to the manga and it wasnt good the way they changed it too. in my opinion every episode after kazamas death was good but this one was just horrible.haruto in this episode just looked like a complete asshole by dumping asuka and instantly getting together with eba.he was never a really great main character in the first place but this last episode really made him look like a complete ass. was is just me or at 13:23 when rin is turning around she sheds a tear? if its true.then the manga readers know exactly why she did. Yeah can any manga reader explain why rin sheds a tear at the end Does she loved haruto too?? |

| 4/10 the art is good and the colors are nice. thats only good thing about this. the animation is choppy...the transitions and the story are all over the place. very unlikable characters especially the main two. even the likable one is an enabler and had set herself up for disaster. characters suddenly popping in and out with the rest of cast act like they are important (Kiyomi). Eba is portrayed as the pretty girl that can get whatever she wants. at least the older OVAs, as condensed as it is, gave her something. here, shes not only unlikable, shes also boring. Haruto became an insufferable prick throughout the whole thing...a far cry from how he’s portrayed in the older OVAs |
| Dafuq this romance is. School Days with less gore. The end would be perfect if Haruto and Eba was just runover by a truck while biking. F* shit what a terrible duo. |
 |
| Haruto is trash for dumping Asuka(best girl) for that trash Yuzuki. I had to downgrade the show for that last scene! How dare Haruto console Asuka that 'you made me grow as a person while I go now to enjoy my wonderful new life with Yazuki'. I wanted to knock his teeth out! Asuka, I'll be there for you! I was also thinking 'this anime seems like School Days without all the rampant sex and murder'. Yuck. |
Zargos101 said: Two pieces of trash ending up together. Fitting. Asuka was the one. She's the type of girl you never let go. What he did was wrong. He should have told his ex it was over and stood by his convictions to be happy with a woman who truly cared for him. I also blame the little sister for orchestrating it. The anime started out nice and turned into something morally disturbing. My heart broke for Asuka. Rin was real trash. I bet she and Yuzuki were planning a 3-some with Haruto. That's what she was rushing home to do... |
| I can't say I agree with everything that happened, but I respect that there was at least an ending. That being said, I absolutely expected Yuzuki to break off again at the end, which says a lot about how little I trust the writing. Two things I don't get: 1. Kyousuke telling Yuzuki that he had a year to live and wanting Yuzuki to be with him, but at the same time, not wanting to guilt trip Yuzuki into being his girlfriend. 2. Rin getting Haruto into contact with Yuzuki after the time skip, then chastising him getting back together with Yuzuki. These details may have been explained in the manga, but I'm absolutely never touching that. I don't think my sanity could take it. As far as the anime is concerned, I still think the audiovisuals are nice, but damn is the story frustrating. For what it's worth, thankfully the anime is short enough to not drag on. |
