tainteddonut said: rvdfan56 said: i don't kno why no one's brought this up yet but why was there a change in voice actors for takemoto in the LAST episode? someone care to explain? The original voice actor was hospitalized after an accident and wasn't able to record for the final episode broadcast. When he got better he was able to come back and record that last episode for the DVD release. Oh I see now. The first time I watched it which was at least a few years ago I didn't notice, but I just finished rewatching it and the voice actor for takemoto did natsume in natsume yuujinchou too so it was really familiar to me and I noticed the change this time around. Kind of ruined it a bit though =P Meh. Rewatching it made me fall in love with it all over again =D |
 |
| AWWW!! that was so sweet!!!! she actually found all those 4-leaf clovers!!!! that was so sweet at the end... he was crying while he ate it. hahaha. well if it was me, i wouldn't have eaten it.. well maybe the sandwhich, but the clovers, those hard to find! i would've treasured those! preserved them in a book or something... anyway. i can't believe its over!! :(( is there a sequel or something??? haha.. and we didn't get to see much of yamada x nomiya.. :(( oh well.. hahahah... and what was that about peter???? when the electricity goes out they go fighting with light sabers?!?!? hahaha.. and the part when they were all about to cry. ahaha... |
| That was a great ending. H&C is one of those few series that I wish wouldn't end T__T While I enjoyed this it wasn't as great as the first series imo, so I'll score it one number lower; 9/10~ :3 |
 |
| Oh my God, what a spectacular series. I could use a bit more of Ayumi x Nomiya though ;D And wth was that with Rika and Shuu-chan?! O.o Takemoto's last words were so deep and touching, made me want to cry~ Loved it! I'm gonna miss this show so much ;^; |
     |
| nice resolution for an awesome series. I was kinda confused by the voice narrator in the beginning since i was wondering who the hell was speaking but I realized it belong to Takemoto later on. It was really odd seeing a different voice actor for him especially for the last episode but i still enjoyed it. |
| Amazing. I'm soo sad this anime is over this episode nearly had me in tears definatley getting a 10. |
 |
| The last episode was really beautiful, I couldn't help but cry. All in all, I liked the ending a lot, although in my opinion, there should have been a bit more conclusion regarding the other pairings and I didn't quite get if Shuu-chan loves Hagu in a romantic or fatherly way. o.o I'll just make myself believe it's the latter. Apart from that, I actually found the first season slightly better, so I'll give this one 9/10, although I've been wavering between 10 and 9 for a long time. (Would be a 9.5 actually xD) Although I understand it's the end now, I keep wishing there was more H&C. ;_; |
gravepact said: Well, I would've said beautiful instead of great, but either way, it emphasizes.Great ending to an amazing series. @ Shuu-sensei's love; well, you know, love does have many, many forms. Parental love, intimate love, love for friends, love for work, for examples. The one time Honey & Clover showed intimate love was with Mayama & Rika. And after just watching the last and second last episode of it, I remember Mayama saying that Hagu wants to draw more than anything, even love, as she rejected Morita, and placed her interest more than anything. Anyways, being one of the best under-watched anime series, this one goes for a 'Masterpiece' in my list. By the way, I think we all could think of an ending for Yamada x Nomiya. |
CookedCelery said: Loved it. It was such a bittersweet experience. Yep Gotta Agree with that |
| about hanamoto sensei saying i love you being a big deal i think its because he says "suki" instead of "aishiteru" (aishiteru is said with married couples,family members and suki is with relationships) but hey dont take my word for it, im only 30% sure |
| Just bad, it was really unbelievable bad. Did I really wait 12 Episodes for such crap? I mean, why couldn't this be a Takemoto x Hagu End? I just hate this season. 4/10 |

| It's finish already? Well I think It's the best slice of life anime. The author did a grat job. But I want another series..I think. anyway 8/10 |
 |
| I'm so glad that Kaoru is back and ok! I was so worried. Seems like there's a chance for Yamada and Nomiya to get together as well, as shown in the credits...Very, very good. Also, lightsabers XD Ahaha. Shuuji, have a lifetime of happiness x3 You deserve it, god dammit. -sniff- Takemotooo D: In the end he didn't win Hagu's love (which is completely inexplicable for me, he's so adorable)...but it may be for the best. That temple restoration job is the best thing that happened to him and my favourite 'arc'/theme in this anime. The clovers were so meaningful x3 I wonder how much time she had spent to find those. Great series with a great cast of characters. |

| I am so depressed now. My addiction is finished -____- I'm really sad. This was a great series and I'm really going to miss it. |

| this my first post of 2010.. well i really like how it ended it will make you think think think... its meaningful yet heartwarming story about life, i give this a 10/10 because its didn't need a great animation just to be great.. it only need a great story and great characterization. anyway i really life what takemoto said on the last minute "as the time passes, the day will come when everything will fade to memories. But.. Those miraculous days, when you and I... along with everyone else, searched together for just one thing... will continue revolving forever... and yeah shuuji also said that he loves hagu... is it fatherly love? as i know japanese doesn't prohibit cousin to cousin relationship but as uncle and niece wtf.. well you could say ive being narrow winded. and yeah do you know what song solar fansub used on the credit scene on last episode? thx! |
| I really enjoyed Honey and Clovers. Its not often that I get taken by a story in a show so thoroughly I end up losing track of time. As a college student entering my last semester tomorrow morning, I can understand the feelings and anxieties of the characters. I loved the character interactions- how their friendships changed as the characters aged and matured. Great story, great characters, and beautiful art. |
 |
| Wonderful, thats how the end. At the scene Takemoto in train station i aspect more than that. hmm Maybe it saved by bicycle ride along with Hagu. :D |
 |
| What a series... so bittersweet~ I'm gonna miss it. 9/10 |
 |
| Man, I'm really not satisfied with ending, but I'm moved!^^ Although to me, the first season was better, still the second deserves 9/10, too. They just should've made 24 eps^^ That lucas/laser saber thing was just amazing! xD Definitely the best slice of life and one of the best series I've seen... |
| Loved it. Such a beautiful series, sad to see it end, but it was the perfect ending. I was very happy with the couples, although expected Morita and Hagu to actually be together, rather than the Shuu-chan development. Also unexpected was the "Please give me your life", definite woah there. Ohh, I loved all the characters, can't chose a favourite :'( I can't find anything wrong with this series at all. Has to be a 10/10. |
| I read somewhere that some find this season didn't seem to end. But that's because... It's a slice of life. And it's just that - a slice of a couple of students' lives. It starts abruptly, ends abruptly, leaving an empty unfinished feeling. Because it's watching life unravel - it doesn't end there, it carries on to other heights which are simply not captured anymore. Rest of short review: |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Well its probably the most realistic slice of life anime I've seen so far. The ending was "ok" for me, but I wouldn't say that I'm satisfied or dissatisfied.. Although I must say that I am disappointed about Hagu's decision and the way they exaggerated Shuu's love for her in more of a romantic way. It would have been fine if they left it at a Father-figure/older sibling/relative overlooking her scenario. It would have been nice if some of the pairings had more of a clearer conclusion to them as well. Overall I'd give Honey and Clover an 8/10. |
| I give this 8/10 ..... I would have said 9/10 because I was addicted most of the was through the story, but I need MOAR resolution to my ending.. I want at least someone to end up with someone and for them to be rediculously happy about it, and that someone is anyone but Hagu, the woman who looks like she is ten(and yes I know that her looking that young is a symbol of her innocence and sheltered life), Hagu and Shuu...ick... I don't like the way his feelings went from father/daughter relationship to love interest in the last two episodes..... All this bittersweet unrequainted love BS is making me sick. It also seems like it was left open for a possible H and C 3.... But they did do the Takemoto choking down the honey and clover sandwhich while crying bit, so who knows. I know this series was about failed relationships and all, but Im the kind of person who wants to see SOMEONE actually get what they want at the end...The more I think about it, the less I like this show. |

| I think that Takemoto and Morita aren the only ones who didn't get in a relationship. There is definitely enough evidence supporting Mayama and Yamada's individual relationships with Rika and Nomiya respectively. As far as this show and it's ending... beautiful is the only way I could describe it. |

| Woah woah woah!!okay so what happened is that Hagu chose Shuu??!how come i didnt notice this eventho i've watched the series twice!! I thought she would be waiting for Takemoto-kun to finish his work bla bla bla and stuff!wait did i miss something hurmmmm(i knew i should've participate in this discussion earlier)is it during that bicycle scene ...hurmmm ahhh i demand an explanation from someone!!or should I just rewatch the series again?? hurmmmm =.= |

| shootdatpancake: shootdatpancake said: Woah woah woah!!okay so what happened is that Hagu chose Shuu??!how come i didnt notice this eventho i've watched the series twice!! Yes, Hagu chose Shuu. No one really knows if they'd end up together or something romantic would grow from Hagu, but she considers art as her life, more important than love. We all know that she loves Morita, but she goes with Shuu because he can support her with her art endeavors. Well, Shuu seems to be romantically inclined to Hagu (Episode 11), however, as I see it, it's one-sided. shootdatpancake said: I thought she would be waiting for Takemoto-kun to finish his work bla bla bla and stuff!wait did i miss something hurmmmm(i knew i should've participate in this discussion earlier)is it during that bicycle scene ...hurmmm I have to rewatch that scene to be accurate, all I can remember is that they were talking about goals and meaning of some things and stuff. Then again, I'm pretty certain there were no parts in there that said that she'd wait for him. Chances are, if she'd wait for someone, it will be Morita, not Takemoto. |

Ahh I see ...I feel bad for Takemoto,well i guess things don't really go our way in life ...maybe the last train scene kinda made me think that hagu kinda has some feelings towards Takemoto ...well never mind,thanks by the way Lorelei for your explanation ^^ |

| This is one of my favourite anime series ever. With my favourite character ever - Morita. I really wished that Hagu would chose him, but the ending left me with the feeling that he'll come back for her. The characters were brilliant (except for the good-for-nothing Takemoto), the story was too. I'm so sad it's over. Well I guess it's time for the manga now! ^^ 10/10 |
| Bah! The voice actor change ruined everything for me. I'll try to rewatch the DVD version but I feel that It may be too late. Wich is too bad since I loved both seasons of this show and the ending would've been great but all I could think about was how Takemoto's voice sounded so wrong... |
| Too lazy. Maybe later. |
| I really want Morita x Hagu ending, I support this pairing since the beginning of the 1st season. uhhh..but I won't complain that it was a great ending to a great series. Gonna miss Honey & Clover. Yeah, Takemoto's last words was really touching. And I noticed that Takemoto's voiced changed. |

| This was a great series, actually preferred this season to the first. The last few minutes with Takemoto's ending words and the honey and clover sandwiches had me pretty much in tears. Would've preferred a clearer conclusion for Yamada/Nomiya and Mayama/Rika, though I'm just going to make my assumptions that they both got together. Shuu loving Hagu was a bit of a shock since I always saw that they had a father/daughter relationship the rest of the series, but I don't mind about the Hagu storyline that much as I never really liked her. Definitely one of my favourite animes now, the storyline and characters were brilliant. 10/10 overall. |
kanaka said: Uh-huh.This series is probably the best example of slice of life based anime ever. |
| Finally, Japan does a romantic story that's realistic. I'm actually glad Takemoto didn't get his way in the end. That's how life works. Season two was so much better than the first. |
Kayro said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Great ending ^_^ Loved the part with Hagu and Takemoto in the bicycle, simply beautiful. Overall, I loved this 2nd season. Going to give it a 10/10. Yep . This is just great story telling. some part of the series made me cry. |
 |
| I don't get it...I don't think I will ever understand this Anime. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| I thought this was so much better than the first season. Some say they thought it was too serious, but I preferred that angle and how characters relationships deepened so beautifully because of it. I like the comedy in Honey and Clover, but injecting too much into the sequel would have weakened it. I cried when Takemoto found the four leaf clovers on his sandwiches. I finally felt something for Morita when they stopped making him being there solely for the point of humour (I was waiting so long for development on his part), and his brother's story was amazing. I wasn't too enamoured with Hagu and Morita's relationship, so I'm happy with the way it ended, even though I can't see Hanamoto and Hagu's relationship as romantic. 10/10. |
| I totally loved the second season, it was better than the first one. The pace was a bit faster and the drama more intense and wow all the character story's were pretty heavy sometimes... I'm glad I finished it though and I'll def miss it :( I liked the ending for Hagu and Shuu-chan but poor Morita and Yuuta, they were the only ones without a really happy ending... But the last lines of Yuuta were just so touching and I now know why it's called Honey & Clover... <3 |
| This show had so much meaning all the way through 10/10 |
| I enjoyed the series - it didn't touch me like Clannad but, it was very well done - not so cliche etc, not totally predictable, which was nice I guess. |
| I think it was a really good and powerful ending....it just struck me as weird when she got all touchy with Takemoto at the LAST episode...when all she was ever thinking about before was Morita...UGH. Overall, i'm disappointed in the ending, but i still give the anime a ten. |
 |
| Bittersweet ending. It is truly a beautiful series, although the left field ending kinda left me with a wut expression. I guess I am one of the few who was glad morita didn't end up with hagu. Although I had hopes for takemoto I kind of dig how they don't toss him any bones really. His life sucks but he just mans up and deals with it. It's honestly crazy how this anime replicates life, as silly as that sounds. |
 |
| It was pretty good but I didn't enjoy it as much as the first season, which I thought was amazing. A few things bugged me about season 2 that left me with a weird feeling. First, is Shuu confessing his love for Hagu. I don't really care for the age gap. My main gripe lies in the fact that Hagu is Shuu's cousins daughter (according to season 1). That would mean Shuu is Hagu's biological uncle. Nevermind the fact that he raised her as a father figure ever since she was so little she peed her bed (according to season 2 episode 12). Second, Takemaru seemed a bit neglected in the story. Whatever happened to the end of season 1 with his bike journey? In that episode the most important thing for me was that he actually found some courage and decisiveness for once which leads him to confess to Hagu. However, that is all missing in season 2. He kind of passively does nothing the whole season except give excuses to not try. Only time he gets near hagu is tagging along with Yamada, or when Morita rushes the hospital-- a far cry from seeing her as the important thing from his bike journey. Very dissapointed. |

| Great season. I loved hat it was just as good as the first. Honey and Clover was just such a sweet series. Overall, I gave this series a 7/10. |
     |
| I loved this series immensly. A great set of characters, wonderful soundtrack, and just a laid-back atmosphere behind it all. And the ending was very touching. I'ma give it a 9/10. |
