I loved this anime but the ending quite ruined it a bit for me, I was waiting for this sweet, heart throbbing confession. I seriously hope that the manga doesn't end in the same way, it would be such a huuuge disappointment. But If we ignore that, the anime was really sweet and I lol'd quite a number of times. So still a 9/10 ! |

Lame final episode. The episode itself was good, or at least ok, but how can you sell something like that as a final episode? Worst choice one could make <.< It was to be expected that a boring anime as this wouldn't get a second season, they should have just finished it in one season. Maybe then it wouldn't have been so slow paced. The first couple of episode were soo slow that it was really boring, but starting at around episode 4 it got its charm until the end where you could see that Ushio is secretly in love with Sumika, but that doesn't mean anything if they end it like that. Too bad, could have been a nice story <.< 6/10 from me which is actually one of the baddest scores on my list :/ |

When I started watching the anime, I didn't know the manga was ongoing at the time. It's a shame, as their relationship starts to heat up after this open ending... The anime was so faithful to the source material that I have to give a 8/10, really enjoyable series. Too bad I can't see the scene where Sumi-chan cries, that one was really powerful on the manga~ |

Looking at some of the older posts, man pretty much everyone had no idea that when this anime was made that the manga still wasn't finished. I like many hope now that the manga is finished and that its now being released in English that maybe we will see a second season but its highly doubtful but for the ones who were upset over the lack of conclusion READ THE MANGA, you will get one. |

Looks like I'm one of the few who actually liked the ending. Ushio FINALLY realized and accepted the fact that she loves Sumika, and going by the scene after the credits, Sumika also knows it. That makes the ending pretty conclusive and non open-ended for me. Sure a confession or a kiss would have been great, but I don't think it was needed. The ending was subtle, and subtlety is something you don't see very often in anime. |

the pace of this series made me think a confession wld have been several episodes from the end but in the end there was no worded confession just a realisation they both need each other which i thought was more realistic than a confession of love in words i liked the part after the credits where they both no they love each other and they look just like a couple ^.^ |

I expected a bit more romance between Sumi and Ushio. This episode although it portrayed the bond the two share and how Ushio feels depressed without her lacked that romantic spice. I was hoping to hear Sumi say "Don't worry" or "I love you so don't feel so depressed", something to bring out more loving emotions. The show was nice 6/10, enjoyed it for the most part. |

the ending was cute but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a bit disappointed. I mean CMON no confession at all. What was the point of the series if nothing really happened. At the end of the day there was no real progression in their relationship besides them getting a few more blushes for each other. Nothing direct. I wanted so much more. I really liked the characters in this series too so that's mostly why I care and am disappointed. This had so much potential! |

Real damp squib of an ending. It already did the bit in a previous episode about Kazama realizing how much she misses Sumika when they can't talk due to wacky circumstances and and the rest of the episode is just faffing about. |

That was terrible.... to end a whole bunch of fillers with a cliffhanger that will never be completed...that left me unsettled and sad.... there was no conclusion.... P.S. Someone please let me know if they conclude this in the manga....preferably through message. 2.5/10 |

-throws hands up at these comments- Love takes time and patience. Love is not always obvious. Love sometimes takes years for it to become apparent. I think this ending did a really nice job in concluding that. Love is open-ended. Love keeps blooming even as the seasons end. I love this type of ending. It's implied that things will go right for these two. You know it's going to happen. You don't need to see it. I just don't know why people need to see a confession or a kiss-- as if all relationships even need that. Love is different and it's like everyone wants to force every romantic cliche onto every relationship. It's the same with Yuri on Ice. People give each other (engagement) rings and people STILL feel it's not enough. Why is it never enough? Why do we need these cliches every single time when we know every love is different? Why? Why is everyone disappointed every time this happens? Not every relationship comes to be with a kiss or some don't even start with a confession. All I care about is that we have a relatively clear idea of what will eventually happen. And we did. I don't need to actually see it. I don't need to see a kiss or some fingering. And he thing is, we already received a kiss. It might not have been to one's liking, but this isn't one's romance, it's their romance and that's how their kiss worked for their relationship. Why must we always seek closure the way we want it to be when it comes to someone else's romance? Why can't we just move on? Who do we think we are to rush someone else's progress? I just don't understand. |

If it hadn't been the final episode, it could have even been very good. Relaxed pace, low stakes for everyone but the two leads, and yet I was drawn into it. I can't call the concept original, but it was very cute either way in its simplicity. The ice cube transition was a surprisingly cool bit of editing. Well, yuri is still in its infancy, yuri anime especially. I'm okay with this ending because I knew it was coming, and I planned to finish the manga anyways. Usually I wouldn't give a show this courtesy, but again, this is yuri. I'm still undecided on my final verdict for this adaptation... The secondary characters were more entertaining than expected, and I felt like I actually got to know some of them (Akemiya, Azuse and I guess Tomoe) a bit closer by the end. Kazama is frustrating (though I don't dislike her). Sumika carried the show successfully overall. The voice perfomances for the two leads were fine, but they didn't "pop" as much as they should have. The visual department was standard for the most part, but there were a few moments that still managed to impress, like Akemiya's reveal in episode 2. The soothing OP and the catchy ED were a nice addition. This show was an important step for yuri anime. I think future creators might just be able to learn from its successes and mistakes. @Swiggy You bring up a lot of good points. And I'm personally satisfied with this ending. However, I can't view Sasameki Koto in a vacuum, because same-sex romance almost always gets the short end of the stick in anime. Sure, a lot of het romance anime end open-ended, but I can still recount several examples from the past 10 years where the main couple shares an explicit kiss at some point (one that is primarily motivated by love, to be specific)... e.g. Toradora, Katanagatari and Akagami no Shirayukihime ... meanwhile, I can't recall any such examples for yuri romance TV anime, except for Yuri Kuma Arashi, although I'm not sure because I haven't seen it yet Sakura Trick technically passes, but not necessarily in spirit. My point is, yuri anime is already very rare, and when those handful of shows can't commit to being explicit, I can see why some people would left unsatisfied. There may be less backlash against for ambiguous or open-ended yuri stories if the "hide your gays" attitude weren't still so prevalent in anime. But I'm not here to pass judgment, just hopefully answer some of your questions. |

But I'm not here to pass judgment, just hopefully answer some of your questions. I understand that. Admittedly, my post was directed towards the romance genre in general, so thanks for reminding me to view this particular romance from the perspective of the yuri/shoujo ai community. A friend keeps me up to date on the Western femslash community and sometimes we're always given... well, what some folks in the community consider queer baiting. "Hide your gays" even sometimes becomes "Bury your gays", and it kinda hurts. For my friend and I, Sasameki gave us so much more than we're used to getting-- especially since there is an established, relatively healthy same-sex relationship. We didn't think we were being taken for a ride and instead respected that they wanted to keep main couple's relationship progression gradual yet optimistic. Still, I can see why others find it to be a tease or disappointment that the main couple didn't get together, kiss, or confess. Sadly, even recent anime seems to dismiss same-sex relationships even if they're... there. For example, Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge featured two females confessing and ending up in a relationship. However, it didn't seem like the creators took it seriously. For the rest of the show, one of the girls was shown to have feelings for a male character and seemed to be trying to get his attention. Or we have anime like Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyoku where it's shoujo ai, but ended feeling like a friendship with no clear indication of a romance blooming. So I definitely understand being disappointed with the lack of closure or definite romance in Sasameki. I also have to remember that I watched this a lot later than others did. Shoujo ai and yuri anime were even more scarce. I can't help but feel like maybe this isn't the right anime to be disappointed with if one is watching it today, but I get that people are sick of clear romance not happening in any way, shape or form though. |

While I could go on about my misadventures in yuri, I'd rather focus on the romance genre in general, too. In that sense, I found that the conclusion of the romance in this adaptation of Sasameki Koto was reasonable based on the overall pacing of the show. I also think that there are shows where disappointment is much more warranted. What I mean by that is that the audience's expectation of the conclusion is likely not just based on a preconceived notion of how all romantic should unfold, with all the familiar romance tropes. There are other factors that can influence the expectation. The biggest such factors are probably the intensitiy of drama, and the overall rate of plot progression. I think Sasameki Koto sets up expectations more or less competently in this regard, although the first couple of episodes do give the impression of a slightly more melodramatic tone than what most of the show is really like. For the most part, SK is a slice of life comedy, with relatively low dramatic stakes and a aversion of an overall plot, and so the open / ambiguous ending feels natural after merely 12 episodes. The first cour of Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai, on the other hand, dials up the drama during its third act, and the main couple still never kiss. I'm pretty sure they still don't kiss in the second cour, but I never cared to continue after the first cour. I think the main reason most people found that disappointing wasn't the lack of a kiss in and of itself, but that their relationship seemed jarringly immature even after all the hardship they went through together. In that sense, it was probably unsatisfying as a coming of age story, not necessarily as a romance. I also feel like there have been shows that delivered the message of "it's okay to not be mature" much more elegantly, like FLCL. Now, I personally thought the romance in Chuunibyou was at least serviceable. A bit off topic: if in anything, I was disappointed in the secondary characters; I felt the creators wasted Dekomori and Nibutani's potential and Kumin was a one-trick pony who never should have been a prominent character in the first place. |

That's a fair analysis and a good point. Since the tone after a few episodes was pretty consistently easygoing, it's easy to forget that the beginning did have a bit of tension. While some are willing to accept changes in tone as it comes, creators can't always expect the entire audience to dismiss the tone of the beginning. While I also felt that the overall tone worked well enough and it paved the way for a decent ending, I can't stop thinking about the beginning now. ...Ahhh...! Even so, I enjoyed Sasameki Koto and its ending and can't help but think I would have attempted to do something similar if I were in the seats of the creators. Recently, I've been seeing a lot about Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai. I'm definitely going to have to watch it. From what you're saying, it sounds like it definitely has its flaws, but the way you've explained them interests me. As an amateur creator, I'm always looking at what works and what doesn't for others. I just can't resist wanting to see for myself and take note of the aspects others find to be done well or to be lacking. |

What a letdown ending, I thought they will confess to each other in the end. All I got from this episode was a pointless call that had my hopes up, uh I thought this was romance for heaven's sake. I really loved this series and was rooting for their rom, but in the end it turned to "nothing" as Ushio said in the end. What a coward of a series but any way from me its a 7/10 and I would watch s2. |

And here i was thinking that Aoi Hana delivery was weak. In this anime there is no apples delivery at all. Basically 2 girls kind of like each other then 12 episodes long nothing happen and that is it! This is a good anime but i feel like im being trolled. Its the weakest romance i have seen ever. |

What a great soothing love story. I wouldn't have quite expected to find such a gem in the yuri branch, but am glad I did. I would've wished for a bit more closure, tho, since most romance anime to this day don't have commitment when it comes to bringing the lovers together for good. And when they do, they are considered the best thing in the world, even though they just borrowed all of the other aspects of their existence from already existing shows. But I guess this here was quite an underrated gem and for now I can't say that I've seen such a story before, so I have to give it an 8, possible 9 depending of if this was creative enough or just borrowed from others, which I can't say yet... |

I was getting comedy vibes from the poster but the first few episodes ended up focusing on drama a bit. Also seeing others' comment, it seems like manga has more comedy to it. There was definitely a problem with the direction of this one. I still liked sumika and tomoe's character a lot regardless. Might just pick up the manga in future. |

Eh, girls really better focus on the things they do, not think about their phone.. I mean, it could have died, the battery, I mean, or just fall down somewhere and break, so whatever.. Just enjoy your time in the mountains, Sumika.. ;p I wouldn't agree with the statement that swimsuit can be too cute for river.. Like, what?.. No, no, cute swimsuits are nice and a bonus.. ;P Well, maybe if Ushio's feelings is so strong.. Maybe she'll finally begin to think that Sumika means more for her.. Well, in the end Ushio's and Sumika's feelings are still growing, we finished it at this point, it seems.. Well, I'm personally fine with that.. Because overall it was an enjoyable anime.. There were an episode or two I didn't like that much.. But I also have plenty of episodes I liked a lot.. So I have plenty of what I liked, what I'm taking from this anime.. And that's what matters to me personally.. The most, I feel, I maybe even liked supporting characters.. Akemiya-kun and Aoi Azusa.. I wrote plenty about them in other episodes, but will just shortly say that I liked topics related to them.. They were interesting and relatable characters.. Crossdressing topic with Akemiya and friendship topic with Azusa were tackled pretty seriously and thought provoking, I liked them a lot.. ;P They were just too good, really.. Would definitely want to see more of both Akemiya and Azusa.. Main relationship between Ushio and Sumika, I feel, is only in the beginning stage.. But they are already sweet friends with many memories shared.. Their relationship I'd be interested to see more as well, I feel.. Overall, again, I liked anime a lot.. Glad that watched it.. ;P And totally would want to see second season if it'd come.. ;p |

an unsatisfactory ending for me. I hope that as a closing story, they can spend 1 episode together. but it was not according to my expectations, nothing happened here. just a phone call. 6/10 for ending. |

12 years later and still no Season 2, even though the anime only covered the first half of the Manga and ends frustratingly unresolved. Goes to show how little yuri is prioritized in patriarchal Japan. The fans are being treated like fools. |

Pretty sweet finale, but the ending was a little disappointing. This definitely needs a second season. Overall, this was a great show and much better than I expected. Very nice mix of romance, drama, and comedy. However, I wanted Sumika and Ushio's relationship to develop more. I also wanted Aoi to find someone because she's such a nice and cute girl. <3 |

It had great potential, but some of the plots just does not make sense. I get that this anime tries not to be too serious and stuffs, but their sol stuffs are basically pretty poor and uninteresting, and the comedic moments are kinda repetitive and lack creativity. It was kinda painful to sit through all these segments. Some sections are kinda out of nowhere, such as the treasure hunting stuffs in Ep12. It might be the issue of adaptation, or the issue of pacing, such that so many stuffs felt unexplained or out of place. I find the speed of progression of the romance to be fairly ok, but the ending was kinda lulz. Characters are pretty one-dimensional, although sometimes they play along their tropes pretty well to give us some good moments. There is not much synergy, and every character does not develop further aside from their background settings. Anyways, if this gets a second season, I might still watch it. |
