| that was wayyyyyyyyyyyyy to rushed.... i want to be happy with the ending...... but.... |
ihusmal1234 said: That was a fantastic finale. Seems like they really did go through with the Koko route. It seemed pretty vague and the writer could have went anywhere if he wanted to. Also did I see that correctly near the end there? Linda blushing when Mitsuo started recording her? What about Mitsuo x Chinami D: It was a pretty good final episode 5/5. 8.5/10 overall. I know right? I was quite surprised that they hinted at that. I guess with her saying yes her feelings moved along with Banri's. Though it's quite saddening to see that Chinami Oka got left out lol. |
| Disappointed because I was going for Linda. I mean, she is just a much better character. Regardless, that doesn't mean it was a bad ending simply because it didn't go how I wanted it. Can't decide if it's a 7 or a an 8 for me... leaning more towards an eight, since I don't allow meh endings to account for a full body of work, but it is a weighing factor. |
| A happy ending. Was expecting a bittersweet one, in which Banri wouldn't remember anyone in the end. 7/10. Was rushed but I still enjoyed it. So, in the end, Chinami and 2D are still single. |
| What a good ending for both Banri and Koko. Linda finally gave him an answer on the bridge. 2-D being a good friend that he is, never gave up on Banri and it paid off. Now everybody is moving on. Linda blushing after looking at Mitsuo. I guess those two would be together then. Good anime. Gonna miss it. |
 |
| oh here we go with the pairings. I thought Koko x Banri was quite obvious with the openings/endings etc. I loved the finale and probably would rate it as a whole 8-9/10. |
 |
| Well this anime got as close as I've ever seen to a REAL relation ship type of anime... I wished there where more of this type of same feeling anime |
 |
| Well as I expected, Chinami/Mitsuo was left unresolved. Crap ending for her but it's her own fault. She kept her mouth shut until the end so she has no sympathy from me. The whole scene with Linda and the Banris on the bridge was just weird. I don't understand how Linda was able to interact with ghost Banri, and of course they leave that unexplained, along with what Linda has to take care of. The Banri and Koko scene was nice though. 6/10 overall from me. 2D and Nana were by far the best characters, which sucks considering they got the least screen time. |
| Could have been better if they added two more episodes. It feels like they need to finish it so they end it. Kind of disappointed. |
| I'm gonna miss this show so much :( One of the best romance shows I've ever seen! |
 |
| Even though I was expecting a sad ending to be great way to finish it, it is always nice to see they living happily ever after 8/10 |
| 2D is a true bro. I hope the girls from the Tea Club service him every night of his college life for his service to brodom. Telling Koko to go postal was great to see. I must confess I found the whole sequence with Banri recovering himself and Linda saying yes on the bridge very strange and kind of rushed. I think the writers should have done a better job with that. |

I've never been in a relationship where I had amnesia and my ghost of my former self was breathing down my neck and cursed me while I dated a girl but hey that's just me. |
| Sweet ending for Koko and Banri. |
| This terrible romance finally over. SNAFU |
| Lol corniest episode of 2014. |
| That's one magical ring. |
     |
| And with that i can rest in peace . The whole 23 weeks wasn't in vain. Sweet ending of somehow bitter journey. Great ending. Lovely Koko and Banri , and great bro 2D kun |
| Fucking bridge scene with Linda and past Banri ruined everything Linda hugging and seeing what is supposed to be a fraction of Banri's past memory but apparently not because it can fucking pick up a ring that fell in a river. It's great that Kaga ended up with Banri and that he remembers everything but we got a big fuck you for the rest of the characters. Mediocre Time |
  |
| What the fuck. I think it was too damn obvious that will end this way. What really frustrates me is that we couldn't get to know if Mitsuo made a move on Linda,or Chinami on him. 7/10 with a lot of mercy. |
| Nice that it was a happy ending, but like others said, it was too rushed... I honestly feel like this brought it down to a 7.5-8/10 for me. I enjoyed it nonetheless |
    |
| Wow. I'm so happy but still I'm a little suprised, I thought they do not make happy ending for these two. So I feel relief. At the end Linda blushed when Yana-san look at her so lol, that was unexpected since she admit love for Banri I (lol Banri I and II). Btw what now with Oka-chan? <sad_face> 2-D-kun this is true friend of this year. I will miss this show 'couse for me pairing Tada x Kouko was the greatest. And sorry to be honest, I can't understand ppl who was Linda followers. Linda was nice girl but... Nah, shit happens. |
 you tellin me mangas aint japanese colouring books |
| oh look another "its the last episode let's wrap this puppy up all nice and neat who cares about other people's feelings let's sail the canon ship gogogo" what was that whole deal with linda saying "yes" then just running away? whatever, the show had its ups and downs and was comparatively one of the better shows this season. 8/10 |
| hihi~ 안녕하세요~ こんにちは～ |
metalsuk said: So it was 2D kun who saved the day. May he not be forgotten. 2D-kun is the true hero of this show |
| That was surprisingly satisfactory. Ehh 8 or 9? Gonna have trouble. Golden Time had its good and bad moments |
| I don't have much to say regarding this ending except that this finale made me feel so complete. Yes, Banri becoming whole by seeing himself in Koko's mirror was.... um cliche? I guess. Or maybe deus ex machina? Maybe. Either way, despite how Banri arrived at his destination. It was wonderful. Despite its flaws, Golden Time is a show that I will happily rewatch sometime in the future and is one of my favorite romantic comedies. 9/10 |
| A Wolf Runs Free. To Dream the Impossible Dream. Skip Beat is the only Idol Anime I will ever enjoy |
| I'm sorry, but where did anyone watch this that wasn't so horribly off-sync? All the vids I found had sound and video off-sync by 3-5 secs and it bugged me so much I stopped, but I still want to watch this. (video was 27 mins long... pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to be) And then I peeked at the end of the video and the screen was grey... |
 |
| Kouko was always my favorite girl so for me it was less about her ending up with Banri and more about her being happy in the end, which she is with Banri so I'm pleased. Really wish 2D-kun and Nana had gotten together though, or at least had more screen time. The past Banri ghost, though... I just cannot get behind that, or how Banri and Linda suddenly saw him in the end. I don't think her feelings and Banri's feelings are that complicated, they loved each other in the past and she understands that he's a different person now who's in love with someone else. If anything, that frees her to find her own happiness. |

DrFluffyUnicorn said: this was amazing i would like an ova epilogue I'm sure there will be some OVAs, but the content of those OVAs.... Luckily the author of the Golden Time light novels wrote some side stories. Featuring none other than the hero of the finale 2D-kun |
| A Wolf Runs Free. To Dream the Impossible Dream. Skip Beat is the only Idol Anime I will ever enjoy |
| I am so FUCKING HAPPY that was how it ended....I honestly cried.....like...a lot..... Great show. Great great great show. I gave it a 9/10 over all. |
 |
| I enjoyed this show. The only thing I didn't really like was "ghost" Banri and the bridge part with him at the end. I wish they had made it more clear what was going on with that. Though I enjoyed the ending, I think I would have preferred the memories of past Banri to merge with current Banri. It would have made choosing who to go with more difficult, but it would also make Banri feel more complete (and make the ending feel more complete as a result). |
| I thought this last episode wasn't quite as good as most of the rest of the show. It was cute and wrapped everything up successfully, but it felt a little as though they were stretching to make the happy ending. I personally would have preferred if this one episode had been extended to 2-3 episodes, Banri hadn't regained his memories, and he and Koko re-formed their relationship from scratch. I think it would have been tough for Koko to accept, but I think it's a little better than an ending that glosses over the obvious fact that Banri still might have memory issues. A longer finale would have also given more time to provide a more satisfactory resolution for the other characters, who, aside from Linda, don't get much attention or screen time in the finale. |
 |
| Obvious but happy ending. I used to ship KokoxBanri but since episode 20 I stopped but I'm happy this show ended like this. So Old Banri went to the river and gave the ring to current Banri... That surprised me, both existed at the same place, like the bridge was a place where they could talk or something. And it was foggy too. Linda-senpai moved on and started to like Yana, I didn't expect that. 2D-kun did a nice move there, forcing Koko to try going after Banri again. I'm not really sure if rate this with an 8 or a 9 so, I'll give it 8.5/10. |
| I'm learning English so maybe I make mistakes :) |
| I didn't care for the ending. Too predictable. Was looking for a swerve of some sort. Toradora second season basically. |
 |
| Several people had already commented in earlier episodes that the LN did not push the love triangle between Koko, Linda, and Banri that (over)excited anime viewers. I thought it was a pretty good romance, and it brought back a lot of bittersweet memories of my undergrad years. I never saw Linda as a serious prospect (or maybe she just reminded me too much of an unrequited love interest in the past). I'm just glad Kokou and Banri got together in the end. But yes, I will officially promote 2D-Kun to 3D....what a bro! |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Obvious ending. This was so painful to watch and I'm so glad it's over 4/10 |
 |
| This was the funniest episode of Golden Time ever. 5/5, really enjoyed it. But seriously, wheres the supernatural tag? tittycakesXD said: Paper_Raccoon said: Well this anime got as close as I've ever seen to a REAL relation ship type of anime...

I've had a spur of the moment where I recovered my memories, chased after my girl, and bumped into a ghost of myself. |
