That's so sad, but at the same time it's happy too. The ending was executed perfectly and I really thinik they did very well. Those kinds of endings are some of the best to me. This show is in my heart always and has truly touched me. I cry without regrets.

ahhh, thank you. After marathoning both seasons only to have everyone end up dead and feeling like I wasted my day, I can now sleep peacefully after having a good laugh at that.

So what if they "all" died...i like some good cry for fictional characters:D
(The thing that is pissing me off is that the only character i wanted to die didn´t die...yes,Chizuru...maaaan,she was completly useless.)

No,seriously...if you just looked up biographies of the guys you would have know what is going to happen and what you should expect.
(except Heisuke´s and Sannan´s death were not really accurate...in date.Well,of course they did not die like that too,lol)
We haven´t seen Saitou and Shinpachi die because they were the only ones who lived till 1915 and died as an old dudes.

I loved this season.

I was sad to see the Shinsengumi 'disperse' like that.
I cried at the end ;w; I wished it strayed from the history, not to say it hasn't yet, but hoping to see a family for Chizuru and Hijikata. x3
& OKITTAAA.. TAT
I thought Kazama would've won. 0w0
Chizuru.. sometimes I wish she was in more in touch with feelings in a way.. I mean, there were times I would've gone, "Oh,you [guys]~<3" but Chizuru's all nonchalant.

The way Kazama died was too easy. And I kinda hated Hijikata for some seconds there.

Even though it's kinda predictable, Hijikata dying was really sad. But I liked how Kazama acknowledged him as an oni before he died. It's what Hijikata's been trying to prove to him, right?


Oh really? Now maybe hoping for romance between Saitou and Chizuru for 3rd season? Nahh, I doubt something like that would ever happen. It has the "the end" feeling. =___=

When Chizuru went Hijikata-san, Hijikata-san, Hijikata-san... I thought ''Oh great, another Orihime; she's such an utterly useless and annoying main character. Overall, this series was a disappointment, it tried to cover so many different genres and, naturally, failed.

Wow. I don't think I have ever cried so much because of something I watched. This was a bam bam bam...everyones falling... Very well done though. and the music just added to everything. WHY WHY WHY did hijikata-san have to die? He was suppose to live happily ever after with chizuru!! T_T I'm sitting here and I'm still crying. :(

Did they really have to die in the end??? At least Hijikata-san could have been saved... After all, he did drink Chizuru's blood, didn't he??? Will there be season 3??? I'd sure be happy to see Hijikata and Chizuru in a happy ever after ;)

man, intensely sad...though i gues its to be expected sinse the story revolves around the loosing side. If only they'd left Hijikata and Saito alive!

Even when I was so bored with this anime and just wanted to finish it, Even when I hated Chizuru with a passion.
I still felt so bad for her and Hijikata so WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST GAVE THEM A HAPPY ENDING? OR AT LEAST DID THE GOOD ENDING AND LET THEM HAVE BABIES OR SOMETHING (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
THEY REALLY DESERVED IT ; ^ ;

Oh god It "rained" so hard during the ending credit, Seeing everybody happy and together....
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
No matter how much I dislike her Chizuru sure needed a hug.
I'm never watching a tragedy ever again ;w;

DEEEEEEEEEEEEEN

*Hmm, let's confirm all major Shinsengumi character deaths of this season.

Kondou - Beheaded

Sannan - Turned to dust

Harada - Fatally wounded in battle against resatsu.

Heisuke - Turned to dust

*Open-ended deaths:

Saitou - Last seen charging into battle, possibility that he lived on exists. If following historical facts, he lives on till 1915.

Okita - Last seen intercepting a wave of enemies who are attempting to take Hijikata's life. Most likely he has succumbed to tuberculosis and injuries sustained in said battle.

Hijikata - Last seen seemingly lifeless in Yukimura's lap. Most signs in the final scenes point to his death.

*What the heck happened to him?

Shinpachi - Seriously, he just vanished from the story. In any case, if the show does follow the historical plot, then he lives on.

*Deaths I actually cared about.

Harada - He died like a badass.

Saitou - I refuse to acknowledge his death.

Okita - Similar to Harada's scenario.

*Deaths that should have happened.

Yukimura - Completely useless. As stated by another poster, she was only good at serving tea.

~The series wasn't bad: just a bit jumbled together. Nonetheless, it was still enjoyable. Overall rating 7/10

True! and I hated that! Kazama shouldn't be dead but i'm glad and extremely happy that Hijikata died so Chizuru wouldn't be happy the rest of her life =_=

What a bad bad baaad Anime, I really didn't like this season

Am I the only one who actually likes Chizuru? Sure she didn't do anything, but I thought she was neat character.

Is it bad that none of the deaths in this series made me cry at all? I do admit to almost tearing up at the end of this episode, but no where near crying. I thought the first season was better. This season was all eyecandy and a random slaughter of a character almost every episode. The deaths happened one after another that I just couldn't cry. Also the lack of emotional final dialogues between characters.

6/10 for this season mostly for the Hiji/Chizu moment where they kissed and of course the eyecandy. xD

Another Visual Novel that had an average series I am not really surprised there. Nothing astounding, but it is a good watch to pass time or add another series to the compete list. Its not a total waste of time the series could have been better if it had one whole season with at least 24~26 episodes. Instead of making a half-assed second season. Oh well this is Deen after all.

The ending was so sad TwT all the bishies are dead ... and useless Chizuru is alive >_> , still, I feel kind of bad for her ...
I'll give this season an 8/10 fore the eye-candy, lovely OP and tsundere Toshi-chan XDDDD.

Im really torn on what score will I give this anime.. I mean, i really loved it, but there are a lot of let downs in the story.. *sigh!
But, in the end.. I gave it a 10.. I gave up with my feelings about it.. Ahahaha.

~ i read some of the comments here, i see.. they all hated/don't like Chizuru.. Well, I don't feel the same way, but i guess until the end, I was hoping She could do something big, but too bad, nothing happened. She's more like a supporting character. A narrator, A recorder? She seems like that to me.. I mean, She's like she existed there to tell the Stories of My BELOVED shinsengumi..

As for my Beloved Shinsengumi..
Too bad, they all died.. :'(
I was curious about Shinpachi and Saitou's death too. they just narrated it, ne?
Argh! OKITA!!!!!!!!! SAITOU!!!!!!!!! TOSHI!!!!!!!!!!!
Argh! All of them are loveable~ Kyaaaa! Can't even drop one of them.. :DD

I guess~ The main reason why I loved this Anime and gave it a 10 even though it doesn't really deserve it is because of the Characters only. Shinsengumi, that is.

~ so there. I just wanted to say this. *sigh. No matter what, I wanted to rant about it! Its is a tragic. but i liked the way it is..

Now i can finally say, Ive finished it! :DDDD

This whole season was depressing. Everyone left/died. Ughh

Meiji Revolution happened after all, so we had to go through the 2nd Season of the Old Bakufu just doing terrible ><;

Hiji fell off his horse as expected.

He looked very pretty at the end...

I agree with you. I couldn't stop crying when Souji died (I was hoping that he could recover his illness) and when Hajime left. And it made me very angry that Chikage died. I like Chikage, Kyuujuu and Kyou.
But I didn't understand, did Hajime and Sanosuke die? I hope not, I love them, they're my favorite Shinsengumis.
Also, Chizuru staying alive. She's so useless and annoying! I hope she dies!

I just finished it and thought it was a really good anime but that ending...... =_=
I really hope in the 2-pt movie thats supposed to come out in the next year, that they tie up some loose ends and not just leave us with such a depressing ending. At this point, I actually don't even know what they could do since EVERYBODY died in the the end, except for Chizuru! Can someone please explain to me why she was so useless?? (And why she didn't have any sort of special ability or enhanced power because she was a female oni?)
Agggghhhhhhh! So many questions! :(

So I recently finished playing the game and finished all the routes THEN found out there was an anime!!! :D Went ballistic and started watching them ALL!!!

Very impressed with the way they decided to go about it. We basically got to see each of the men's routes, what was going on, and what they were each doing during the war, with or without Chizuru there. Especially nice for me because the whole time playing the game I had to piece my memories together with each man I sought after. The game only allows you to see through Chizuru's eyes so if she's not there, you don't know what's going on with the other men unless you somehow hear it in passing. A lot of "so THAT'S what happened moments". :x

I felt the anime did a great job incorporating all the different routes in this show. Nearly every awesome CG scene (barring certain route specific romantic ones) got incorporated into the show too. I loved that.

BUT THIS EPISODE THREW ME FOR SUCH A LOOP. They were going down Hijikata's path completely by the second season and then suddenly did a 180 last minute and dove into her normal ending. WTFFFFF!!!! I was 100% NOT EXPECTING THIS. I kept waiting and I was really looking forward to Hijikata's ending and then I get EVERYONE IS GONE. POW NORMAL ENDING. (;`皿´) GRRRRRR I feel super unsettled.

No way around it. No disillusionment for myself. He's dead. ;A; They purposely gave him that standing pose spirit and topped it off with panning out to white & distant sounding "Chizuru" to imply death in my opinion. He prolly turned to dust while the camera moved away. ;A;

Minus fantasy elements the series did follow the general schematics as far as all the historical aspects and turning points for each of the characters pretty faithfully. Honestly, it would have been cheap if he lived. Historically Hijikata died from that specific bullet wound. If he ended up living past the war and went on with his life it would have felt really fake since they tried so hard to coincide all the events with the actual history. But a part of me still WANT the LIES!!! T____T

UGGHH. I'm done here. Onto the OVAs and sweet school life yo. /sniffle
