Best episode, fine finish. Even a little emotional and a message for us all.
Great show, I'll give it a 7.5 ;'-=)

Pretty nice ending and overall about an 8 for the series. I only wish that all of the stories could have come together but good none the less.

It was probably the best episode of them all.
Nice ending, but the anime remains absolutely average.

My fav ep is still the first as well. I'd say this one would probably be the worst, but every episode was still really good. A very strong, well paced series. 8/10.

this episode was great!! of all of them, i related to this one the most! even though my life is rather boring and maybe even pretty pathetic in some people's eyes, it's still my own life and no one else and i want to live it to the fullest! no matter what~!

it was a great message and a great way to end the six episode run~

I was hoping that they somehow try to tie the previous episodes together in this last one... sadly they didn't. Meh.

Well the end wasn't all too bad, I liked it actually but well I liked the concept but it could have been a lot better, some of the episodes were really slow or just boring, this last one was kind of proper though! A decent show but could have been better as the concept holds potential.

Over so soon. Well, it's a huge letdown it had only 6 episodes, because the show was really good. It actually reminded me of Mushishi in a way.

I'm conflicted. I want to give the a higher score, since I think it's underrated but I can't. The ending was alright and everything, but it was missing something.

Maybe if it told the story of one pair of characters over 6 episodes.

Anyways 7/10

This anime is overall crapy, but it has something that touch, nice break from mainstream shows.

So Sakura didn't die, how lame! It wasn't touching at all for, in fact it was mediocre to accidentally jump off a bridge and get to live. In the the first place she wanted to jump because of a boy, who wasn't hers from the beginning ( stupid teenage girl). When she wanted to live I didn't feel a thing, in fact it was the opposite.

Overall I didn't like this show, I didn't like Momo in fact Daniel was better. She kinda was a useless Reaper for me, she was a reaper for middle school children who hold hands all the time. This writer sucks, I regret watching this mediocre. The only person that died in the show was from the first episode which was Mai, and the others had to be helped to cope with their grief over loved ones which wasn't touching by the way. They did these lame low key middle school romance that absolutely were pointless, and showed the pathetic writing of the author.

It wasn't targeted for me, is that I can tell you. Hell girl is my kind of anime and Shigofumi was better.

5/10.

Great ending. Though I wonder if they intended to finish the anime with those 6 episodes.

Anyone has any idea what the after-credit writing says?

The show reminded me of "Colorful"; because I've seen that show already, it didn't take long for me to figure out that the girl wasn't dead.

I'd say this was the least-good episode. Would still love to see more of the series, or content from the studio who made it.

My favourite episode, along with episode 1. The idea of a spirit form being projected from a comatose body isn't new or anything, but it's always interesting to see them interact (or be unable to interact) with the world around them.

Shinigami no Ballad is adequate. I feel like Momo would've gotten fired and had her "reaper card" revoked long ago, seeing as how she doesn't do much soul harvesting in the present period, but she's cute and thoughtful, so I'm fine with it. The anime doesn't really stun you with excellence in any department, but it's serviceable in all of them. Nice short anime to watch if you're in the mood for something laid-back. It's sort of like Shigofumi, but better, because it doesn't waste your time with mindless recurring side characters, nor does it completely change genres halfway through.
