Didn't the ring fall into the river? I watched it fall into the river. |
| Yes, the ring fell into the river. However, the river is shallow and the water is clear. |
| This salad is salty favored |
Shouldn't the stream have carried it down the river by the time he went down there? |

| 2D-kun, YOU ARE A TRUE MAN!!! See this is how memory works, you don't just lose a whole half!! Glad to see they ended up together, though Linda is the best girl, this ending was the right one. |
 |
| This anime was amazing. Glad he remembered Koko!. I cried a lot. Even after 5 mins i finished this anime my tears are still flowing. At the beginning i wanted to rate this 8/10 but after the last 3 episodes i think i will give 10/10 . |

| Glad Linda likes Mitsuno form that blush. TBH was expecting to like it like Toradora, too bad I guess. They tried to trick me with the "We get together in episode 6" but we have a surprise 18 episodes of cringy drama for you~ Conflicted feelings tbh, don't know if I hate it or I only lightly hate it. |

| I found the ending episode a little confusing just like everyone else. But despite some flaws, I found the series to be very enjoyable. I really liked Koko and the supporting characters had good points as well. I'd rewatch it, though I'm not sure I'd understand some of Banri's actions even on a second viewing. 8/10 |
| Just finished it. Loveddddd It. I just couldn't bring myself to ship Him and Linda. I felt like that the entire series though. I was happy to see her confess on the bridge. 2-D kun ftw! |
 I have small reviews for almost ALL anime I've seen. Unlike any regular MAL page you've seen. Ever wondering what I've watched and what I think about it? Check my List out below! https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Iam_Jermaine |
japaniMay said: A bit of an unrelated question here, but why is is the anime called Golden Time? I do recall seeing a sign that said Golden Time in the beginning of the series when Banri was with the film club.... Though it wasn't a main focus. Did I skip an episode or something? I'd like to think that "Golden Time" is a reference to the English term "Golden Hour" even though there is a wasei term which refers to prime time TV (which doesn't seem like it would be relevant in this case). The golden hour refers to the point in a day just after sunrise/before sunset. The significance of this is that this series has a major focus on beginnings and ends. With every chapter closing, a new chapter opens. For example, a relationship (linda, kouko) or a phase of life (entering college). Since a major motif in this series is Banri and those involved to accept that he's "moving on" from the past, it's a fitting title. |
 |
| Welp, I think I enjoyed it more during my 2nd watch now that I really tried to understand characters. I was fine with any ship since I liked both Linda and Kouko. Linda had her chances but she missed it great time. I hated Toradora. While on the contrary side, I liked this one. 2D man and Nana-senpai were the best people in anime. 2D man reminded me of Yamazaki from NHK :') |
 |
| I was going to flip tables if Banri totally forgot everything... What a roller coaster of emotions. I'm really happy the way the decided to end it. It seems that Banri is finally complete now. His past ghost can no longer drag him down. |
 |
| had a fun ride overall. lots of funnies here and there, and rolldercoasting too. its strange how both the main girls were 'too' good IMO, both willing to let go of banri and whatnot, and banri being normal (not awesome) could attract them. now i finally understood why people hated the 'ghost' part... |
| anime/manga version of steam would be awesome - https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1625396 |
| It's a shame, when I started Golden Time it seemed like it had all the chops to dethrown Yuyuko Takemiya's other anime, Toradora, which I gave a 9 despite my disinterest in that series main couple. One of Golden Time's biggest strength's in that regard is that I actually really like the relationship between Banri & Koko, and I'm glad to see that they ended up together (although to be frank, there wasn't much room for doubt). But here I am, at the conclusion and the score I ended up giving Golden Time was a 7. Well let's just start with the episode in question, overall the finale was alright. Some strong points, a little rushed and a few plot threads only given hinted at conclusions, but overall a pretty satisfying conclusion. Their is one exception though, one scene that was just a mess, the Ghost Banri scene. I've mentioned this before, but I don't mind Ghost Banri as an entity in concept. He's a pretty novel visual representation of what Banri lost in the accident. The problem is that the series extends his role past that. Instead of having a passive role, they give him an active one. Framing all the bad luck around the middle of the series as a curse he placed on them for one, and in here, having him rescue Koko's ring. They even have Linda give Ghost Banri a send-off (she really didn't, that whole scene was suppose to be symbolic), it just feels really off. I have to question whether it or not it was intentional, because Ghost Banri ended up too much of an active force for me to consider him simply a powerful symbol of Banri struggles. To be honest, I think most of the shows biggest failings ended up being due to Ghost Banri. I became weary when Banri revealed amnesia was his backstory but if we ignore Ghost Banri, the way the show dealt with it was pretty impressive. I can't say how medically sound this all is but from an emotional perspective, she knew what she was doing. Whether it was Banri's avoidance of those he knew for fear of disappointing them with the new him, or Koko breaking up with him because the pain of going through what Linda had to was too much for her to bear, this series packed more than a few punches (though it didn't get added to the list of series that made me cry, so Ha! Nice try Golden Time). There were a few other issues with the series, the jokes in the latter half started missing way harder for instance. As a whole, I still liked the series quite a bit but despite having a stronger central end-goal couple imo, Toradora was definitely Yuyuko's stronger piece. |
| yeah finally koko X Banri was waiting for it desperately i dont know why people hate koko i fount her quite likable |
 |
| 2D kun is the real mvp |
| OMG YEAAAAAAASSSSS!! HALLELUJAH!! IT WAS A HAPPY ENDING!!!! I can happily give this anime a 10/10 now. As this last episode was starting, I was wondering how I would rate it with such a bad ending. I was thinking how the story would be 10/10, but my feels were at "gone through a wood-chipper/10" How do you rate such a well written story that makes you feel so bad? I was thinking, the anime deserves a 10, but my enjoyment is at a 0. But I did enjoy most of the show so on average maybe a 5/10 for enjoyment. but that would average to a 7/10 for total score and that is too low for such a great anime. I'M SO GLAD I DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THAT ANYMORE!! on a side note, I wonder how Chinami ends up. also, when Linda ran in saying "yes" to the ghost banri, I was wondering; "wait, how is this gonna work? It's not gonna be a threesome now is it? That would just be trying to satisfy both ships too much." |

| I quite liked the happy ending, but the whole lead up of him regaining his memory again was off-putting. Overall I quite really enjoyed this series. |
╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭ |
| Even with the OPs and EDs, I was still rooting for Linda. It says alot that slot of ppl felt the same I don't know but it felt like KokoxBanri pairing had no real chemistry while he did with Linda. I not sure if it's the voice acting or it was just the story. Either way, it was ok but could last 3 episodes were drawn out... |
| Im not sad because of the ending...... IM SAD BECAUSE I DONT GET TO SEE MORE!!!!! I first watched and finished this one year ago and I didnt get sad over it because it was such a nice ending. But now I have rewatched it and omg the feels. I think my main reason for being sad is because I want to see more Banri, such a lovable character and truly resembles my personality. I also want to see more Banri and Koko romantic things happening and more 2D-kun !!! But yeah im sad because i won't get to watch these guys until next year. (I rewatch some animes after a year.) I feel like I've watched all the good romantic comedy/slice of life animes like Sakurasou, Clannad, Toradora, Golden Time, just basically all the good old animes. Does anyone have an anime similar to Golden Time that someone like me haven't seen yet?? |
 |
| 2D-kun is the best grill confirmed. |
 |
| Even though it's happy ending, I do still want to say this Something make me feel like this is the worst MC of all animes I've watched, yet the best character build. BUT The story is great :'). Would give a rare 9/10 if the MC .. Dang I forgot what I want to write |
| When they skip 2 year in 2 minutes, or make 2 minutes 2 episodes long |
| While I like koko and banri since they're so cute, I feel bad for linda since she's always there. |
 |
| 2D-kun and Nana remind me a lot of Ami from Toradora. They're all third parties whom aren't really involved in the main love polygon, but are there to point out everyone else being absurd or illogical. They're kind of aloof most of the time, but they quickly take notice of things going wrong, and by their own methods, attempt to at least drive everyone towards non-selfdestructive paths. As such, I think 2D-kun and Nana were my favorite characters in the show, if just due to not being one of the drivers of the show's drama. If anything, they're just trying to alleviate the drama. I dislike the term "forced," but the amnesia antics really do feel as such. It's just weird that the memories come back and forth at the most convenient times, and in such specific ways as to impact everyone around Banri in just the right ways. I'm not certain if everything was resolved as it should have, but at the very least, we got a good ending out of all the drama. |
alecm122 said: first anime I watched that wasn t dubbed, well worth it How do you live with yourself? Glad I finally got around to this show. Happy for the Banri x kouko ending. Was hoping for Chinami and Mitsuo to end up together, oh well. |
