That was possibly the best ending to a season 1 of a multi-season anime that I have seen...

It was enough to make me push by rating back up to 8/10, after falling to 7 from the fillers...

Whatever interest I had in this show was lost during the fillers. A very average anime overall, and I will most likely not watch the second season. It's nice to finally be able to set this one as "completed".

5/10

They sure put some nice little cliffhanger at the end, but it worked rather well.

As for the first season... a couple of fillers were rather annoying, but overall it was enjoyable show to watch. It gets 7/10 for now.

Now waiting for a second season... more Niche; Yes please!

I don't mind it ending on a big cliffhanger and the autumn will be here in no time. Yeah, what the heck happened to Roda?! Never looked better though.

The series started out very strong, lost its way in the muck of fillers, but finished nicely. I would've preferred a shorter season 1, but overall it was still pretty decent.

Niche, I love you! I really wonder if they sales of the DVD have been high enough for a second season, but I think they already planned it from the start, seeing the time when they announced it. (Just like Asura Cryin', how did those DVD's ever sell?)

Kind of looking forward to the next season, as long as it has Steak, I'm in!
Since when is Roda a human? Wasn't it a dog first?

Yeah, I agree. If it was a 12-episode series, maybe they could've avoided the fillers and the series would really leave a better impression overall.
Great cliffhanger though.
Let's see what happens...-puts sunglasses on- in October.

Wow. I read the manga, but still this ending made me cry.
I loved it, especially the way Lag said "No more goodbyes" after remembering how many times he had to part ways with someone. I really have no words to describe it.
I loved this episode, and this whole series, despite the fillers in the story.

same. Though a bit bad to stop at this point. Definitely looking forward to the second season.
Wondering why Roda had a human form .__.

Finally Gauche appeared again, and he's so cool x3 Well I think I will read the manga till the 2nd season.

Such a shame that the gap between this and season 2 is so long.

Everything in this series, even the fillers, were brilliant and easily (in my opinion) derserving of a 10/10. I don't think that I will see anything like this again until season 2.


I am proud to have Clannad as the only thing on my dropped list.

Whoa, really enjoyed this last episode even though it ended in a cliffhanger (usually hate these type of endings).
At least the 2nd season starts in the fall, so it's not all bad. Show gets an 8/10 from me.

I liked the last scenes, somehow it was a little dark with that cliffhanger...
For the whole season, I'm really disappointed with those fillers. If you haven't got enough material for a 25 eps series, then why not make a 13 eps instead. It ruined the storytelling and my first impression which was like 'wow, so beautiful'...
But I give it a 7/10 at least. And I hope the second season will be better :/

Roda turned from furry to hawtness.

Either that or Gauche "lost his heart", assumed another personality, was given another gun and awesome cloak by crazy evil people, roda got pwnt and was replaced by some random chick via the previously mentioned evil organization.

ending=meh.

p.s. noir = typical evil organization codename for epic sauce

Wow, that was a hell of an ending! Resparked my interest in the series, can't wait for season 2! Overall, I pretty much agree with the common concensus. The delivery stories, filler or not, just got boring. There are only so many ways you can say "letters = heart!", and it just felt like overkill by the end. There were a handful of interesting characters along the way, but realistically, if it wasn't for Niche, I would have dropped this series long ago. I have high hopes for the second season though! Less filler, more story, yes please!

Wowzers, I'll definitely remember that cliffhanger for a while. The 2nd season preview looks REALLY GOOD! Niche vs Roda!!! I will surely watch the 2nd season, but this season alone falls short b/c of all the fillers. It would have been better if this season only lasted 12-13 episodes.

So, Conner makes a good fat pillow? xD Poor guy..

Lag is probably one of the biggest anime cry babies of all time. For real.

Well, there we go. Season 2's on its way. Man..that ending with Gauche..was upsetting. Obviously Lag knows it's Gauche. Noir is just french for black, in which Gauche has the 'Black Needle'.

But poor Lag ): That was probably the saddest time he's cried in the whole series.

I don't think I like Gauche anymore...well, I can't say that I hate him, but the whole reason I liked him so much was because of his "big brother"-esque personality. I hate it when the nice people become complete douche-fags.

SIGH

But I suppose he'll become a good guy again by the end of the series, it's obvious, but in the meanwhile I will grumble. Though I'm glad it ended on a cliffhanger, motivates more people to watch the second season. The shows gotta keep a solid fan-base so that it can keep the series.

I have to say I loooved the ending!! so much suspense left for the 2nd season!! first episodes were really interesting but after Lag becoming a bee it became kinda boring :/ but in the last episodes when they finally showed us some conclusion to what might have happened to Gauche it got back my interest in watching. I hope the second season will keep up and won't fail our expectations ^^ *sigh* I was pretty sad when Gauche showed up again even though I wasn't that surprised seeing him like this. I was expecting something like that to happen to him.. well we still don't know what has happened yet but I keep looking forward to it!

well I do hope that he will turn good again or whatever because we don't know what has happened to him..(I'm thinking of continuing the manga because I don't think I'll be able to wait so long) but I don't think that it will have a typical cliche ending :/

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Why, just WHY DID THEY HAD TO END IT WITH A MAJOR CLIFFHANGER LIKE THIS!
I started sniffing when Gauche pointed the gun at Lag, and by the time the ending theme started, I was crying like a baby. TT_______TT I just knew Gauche wasn't going to recognize him, I just knew it, and still it hit me so hard, when he said his name was Noir my entire body ran cold for some reason. AAAAAH I DON'T WANNA WAIT FOR 6 MONTHS I WANT MY SECOND SEASON RIGHT NOW!!! They just killed me with that. I'm dead now.

10/10 I forgive them about all the fillers.

5/10.

Reasons:
-Quality in both animation and storytelling dropped constantly through the whole series;
-The last episode was brutal, releasing too much information that could be given in at least two separate moments of the storyline;
-Some stories were compressed in only an episode when they deserved more, some stories (aka: the last arc) where stretched over too many episodes;
-Most episodes try to pass over the same identical message;
-Too many filler-ish episodes;
-Obviously too many fillers.

In the end, they forced this into a 25 episode series just to quit it with a deus ex machina cliffhanger. On the other hand, the world of Tegami Bachi is fascinating, the idea of turning the heart into a bullet is good, and I liked the overall design. Oh, a couple of side-stories were really good.

But the overall result is far from good: too many mistakes (or marketing choices?) made it a mediocre product.

Fillers were fine for me...
But that cliffhanger ending just knocked the rating thing down alot for me D=

I'd forgive them if the second season was starting soon....or if I read the manga....


But I don't so SCREW THEM.
I want to be spoiled now. Very badly.


I'm also gonna seriously stab something if season 2 starts off with a buncha filler as well....and end up being laid out exactly like season 1...
