| Great ending. Didn't see that twist coming. Very cool. |
 |
| One of the best short i've seen. So sad and beautiful at the same time. I don't regret watching this till the end. |
| I have no idea why I watched it. |

| I love the ending~ Hehehe it was just so cute especially when they showed the adult Wakaba <3 Yuuki >.< |

| Is it spring yet? Must be my allergies. My eyes won't stop watering. Dem feels. Everything falls into place with this last episode. Although I still wonder what happened to that old pedo. Mizusi said: That's the impression I got. I always thought being "reborn" to them meant literally dying and reincarnated as someone else to another family. They made it sound like it was going to be a tough decision, and leaning in that direction. But they're no different from before other than gaining that they wanted in the first place; relief from losing their spiritual awareness! I might be confusing something, but didn't they say they would reborn as different people? I didn't quite get this ending. The rest was pretty amazing for a short series. Those two jealous kids with shark teeth seem well suited for each other. A very nice end. If they had a bigger budget, I bet they could have compiled everything into a short OVA series of a couple of episodes, or a short 45min movie. |

| Didn't like the format of this series. Just like Pupa, it's hard to remember the plot week after week, when you're watching 30 other shows at the same time :( But it was quite nice. I think what ultimately ruined my experience were the first few episodes (it came off as a dark comedy kind of show) and the age of the protagonists. I'll leave it at a 6/10 and will rewatch it (aka marathon) in the future. |
| Goodbye Po-chan.. Still, he'll meet his parents in future. Good show. :) |
 |
| The age of the characters were a bit awkward... I also got the impression it was a complete rebirth as new people, but I guess that isn't the case. Then why did it seem like such a big deal? Oh well, I won't criticize it that much. It was like, what, 45 mins altogether of content? It still managed to interest me than most of the other shows this season, so I'm satisfied. Good job. |
| About the whole rebirth thing, people seem to forget that neither Wakaba, Naoya or Azuma were dead when they got into the Spirit Realm, they went in with their bodies fully intact, so it makes sense they'd get out as themselves as well. The whole reincarnation thing probably only counts for loose souls, not for souls that still possess their own bodies. Also, did their spiritual awareness disappear, or did the ghosts? I think Po's interference with the past caused the future to change to one where he would be born, so the latter seems more plausible to me, as the former could still result in Wakaba losing her future child, and it's clear that Po did this all to prevent that. |

| This was such an amazing series with an ending that was just so.. incredible. i didn't expect this from a short series. This is the anti-pupa. 10/10 |
 |
| One of the best short anime I have seen :) This anime need to be more popular. It was sad and funny at the same time. Great ending :) 7/10 |
 |
| This anime was really good, I wasn't expecting a sad ending like this one. It was one of the best short anime I've seen |
| O importante não é o que fazemos de nós, mas o que nós fazemos daquilo que fazem de nós |
| I'm giving this a 10/10 f*ck it. Wakaba :( Po-chan :( This was so touching, a son breaking time and space to meet his mother and save her and his dad from a cruel fate at the cost of his life but it's worth it because he loves his mom and doesn't want her to suffer at the hands of evil. <3 Amazing <3 |
 |
| That turned out to be all right. Glad I watched it. |
| I can't believe this isn't even a 7. |
| Damn this is the deepest short I have ever seen, that plot twist was unexpected, but it fit pretty damn well and the ship has set sail. The only thing I saw coming were the 2 stalkers getting together XD |
| I'm not sure how what Po did would change their future with him, though? I guess it is because they won't attract negative spirits anymore? But it felt a little bit like they just wouldn't see it happening instead because there will still be spirits around in the world. Still, it was a sweet series. :) |

| This was pretty decent for a short series. The art was very nice, the characters weren't retarded (it appears to be a trend these days, see: Sakura Trick), the story was interesting. And in the end, it was actually better than most of the 24min ones that aired this season. Props. 6.5/10 |
| Amazing short series is amazing. It was a fun watch. |

| Didn't expect this to escalate like it did, but I love that it went there and the ED was always easy on the ears. 8/10 |
 |
| that was unexpected... good thing i held off my tears~ |
 |
| Awesome show, great story. I'll really miss this one. |
 |
| Omg so many feels at the end... so beautiful... Perfect end |
| I'm surprised how much they were able to do in such a short amount of time....Good watch, considering the lack of time I actually had to invest. |
leetshoe said: l can't believe Po was an aborted fetus Not aborted! He seems to have been still-born. Some nasty thing took him (involuntarily) into the afterlife, eh? Jeez! What suggests it was aborted? Why in the world would she? Terrific series! Shows what can be done in a "short format" eh? Of course little hope for a second season (unless the manga carries the story on...) |

Great ending. Great twist. Best short airtime anime I've watched in years. Most people just don't give short series (that aren't related to full length shows) high scores. |
| I did not think such a sad future story was attached to po-chan but damn that was amazing, really made it better for me! All by all this short but great anime sure was lovely! |
 |
| Wow that was pretty good, but I am confused, Wakaba and Yuuki weren't reborn, right? Or were they? Yuuki said something about them being reborn, but.. they still kept the same appearance and personality? Hmm..? But oh well, seems like WakabaxYuuki is a thing now, Wakaba sort of confessed to Yuuki indirectly. |

| Could they rush this story any more? My god this was a bad episode. The whole show is downright bad if you think how boring and slow everything unfolds untill this last episode. Meh. You can't expect us to like it when you for the first 14 episodes decide to take the slow route and then BAM PLOT TWISTS!!! Everything felt forced and fake. Nothing was genuine because if you want something genuine in anime, you need time. 5/10, but that's just because I'm too lazy to actually think of reasons to lower it further. |
| BEST SHORT ANIME EVER That parting scene was really sad T_T Thankfully all ends well. Now Wakaba and Yuuki only need to keep their relationship stay that way.. Cute couple and really good ending. If only there were more budgets for this project, a full length movie would've been awesome and perfect. Btw, Wakaba's seiyuu really did a good job! 8/10. |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| Why the heck its score is so low? Anime fans are weird. Anyway, this anime was rushed and a little bit forced at times, but still touching. A solid 6/10 for me |

| Cram everything into 50 minutes and tell the story successfully. The writer needs a prize. |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| Well that's not exactly being reborn is it? Good series. But I could have done without the last minute or so. I think it took away from the ending. I'm giving it a 8 for now, I might lower it to a 7 though. AstronomyDomine said: Why the heck its score is so low? Anime fans are weird. (...) A solid 6/10 for me What. You gave it a lower score than the average and complain about it's MAL score? |
NaughtyNoddy said: Unlike poop-a, this was a good short anime. Too bad it's not very popular. I wonder what would Po-chan look like as a little boy... Couldn't agree more. |

| So Po was their child in the future that was taken by spirits. A bittersweet ending that became happy ending. I liked it. A pretty good short I must say. I wonder if the manga continues it. I might give it a read. It's done and it's also pretty short too. |
| Wtf Japan ! you just ruined Children (if they are any) childhood with that ending. Doesn't mean it's bad but for kid show like this the ending was really daring. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| Kinda childish.. BUt that went through I guess |
 |
| Pretty impressive for a short. I liked the art style a lot. 10/10 |
 |
| Man, the only thing forced here are some of these comments. Pretty good story for its length. Think I ignored this show while airing because I mistook its title for Pupa. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| Missed it when it originally aired, didn't know it was made by the author of Hi-score Girl. Now I know how his art style might look animated :) This series is pretty good, a lot of plot for such short episodes. 8/10 right up my alley Also an afterthought: it's like (according to anime) the only place where a socially awkward person might suffer more than high school is grade school. Geez Japan |
