| So glad it finally ended!!! Such a waste of time... At least now I can start focusing on the upcoming shows and hoping that I won't be tricked like this again... Pretty show but barely has any substance in it. PS: No Tomoe x Ren, no Mr. Bean x Nako.... Sad panda is sad :( |
 If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |
| For a brief period at the start of the series it looked as though it could have been the anime of the year. It wasn't. On the other hand it did have some strong episodes and by the end I found myself caring about what happened to all of the characters. I have no desire for another season, but even though this was a strong ending, I would watch an Ova showing what happened to people afterwards (the short scenes were nice but inconclusive). Perhaps a reunion at Ren and Tomoe's wedding? (hint hint) We got Ko x Ohana, although still a pretty innocent love, and the scene with Minko and Tohru I took to being one in which they both got hired by the same employer--so that relationship was still developing. The final episode and its themes of ending and memories really solidified my rating for the series (9/10). |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| It had some rough spots in the middle. But the final few episodes were good. Over all it was a fun ride. 8/10 no where near perfect but still enjoyable. |

Hoppy said: McRib said: All I gotta say is that this show truly went downhill. It turned from my most anticipated show of the week to something that was a chore to watch. I'm pretty disappointed with it...I truly thought it would be something special but all we got was mediocrity. I rarely say this, but I think this show would have been better if it was 12-13 episodes. Yeah, this needed 12-13 episodes. The series was really good at first but went downhill after ep 15 and couldn't save itself with the last few eps. 6/10 This.... Minko remain annoying character till end. That's just perfect. |
 |
| Not perfect by any means but the show's production value remained pretty consistent. Had plenty of funny moments as well as drama moments. |
 |
| 9/10 to my liking. I'm glad Ko x Ohana wasn't anti-climax or ended up with a kiss, it just didn't feel right for Ohana to be lip syncing Ko yet (or anyone). What anti-climax was the Inn still closing down, totally what I didn't expect, when #25 was over with. From the beginning to the near end, Ohana had a "identity crisis", but now its resolve with her wanting to become like Sui, in terms of independent and strong. - Nako teaching small children to swim was so sweet - Mr. Bean actually has a wife (dead I bet), his grandkids are so cute (except the baby :P). - Ren was pissing his pants, being introduce to his new co-workers. - Generic that Touru + Minko found a job together (speculation). Wasn't disappointed about Ko x Ohana being downplayed by the sudden closure of the Inn, the theme was never romance anyways. It will be awesome if we get a few OVA's. Overall, I enjoy the whole series. 9/10. |
 |
| I've enjoyed this series a lot, but I wouldn't want a second season, it's fine like this, with everybody keeping on with their lives hoping to be reunited in the future =) |
 |
| it waz an alright show, the beginning and the ending were very well done so i think 8/10 however it really deserves like a 7, thank god i dont have to hear "lets fest it up" anymore LOLOL |
 |
| Good ending. I'm completely satisfied :) What I liked most about the series was even though some eps did have difficult cliff hangers, the series was a really good once a week type of show. (Actually, I think I would of liked it less if I had watched it in one go. :/) Over all, 9/10 for me. |

vansonbee said: I didn't even think of that. I thought that scene with them was that Minko was trying to get a job, then Tohru spotted her and came over to vouch for her abilities. If they were both interviewing then he would've been there with her all along, right?- Generic that Touru + Minko found a job together (speculation). For a show that had a lot of ups and downs I think the ending was nice. Personally, I liked Minko and I would've liked to have seen something more between she and Tohru. They just kind of left it up in the air, which I did expect but kind of crossed my fingers for something extra anyways. Satsuki and her mother together was cute, and seeing Tomoe mess up at her job and Nako teaching kids to swim felt perfect. It's hard to rate, but for now it's 7/10. I may change it later. |
    |
| the first half was really good but somewhere it was lost and i dont like the ending but at least its open 8/10 |
| One of the best slice-of-life animes ever, extremely realistic while remaining very entertaining with a fantastic cast of characters. On top of that, it is easily Masahiro Ando's (Sword of the Stranger, Canaan) best direction and contains the two best OPs of the year - unless the fall season proves me wrog -. A good 9/10 and top 10 series of the year for me. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Really cute series, ending was lovely. 8/10 |
  |
| Good ending, everything else was petty much shit. |
| A great ending, other than that it feels like I waited 26 weeks just to see something substantial happen between Ohana and Ko. |
 |
| You know why it dragged? Because it's a slice of life, idiots lol. Go watch Love Hina or any other similar Slice of Life series and you'll have the same opinion. I loved the series. The art was great, music fit the setting, story was good, there was a wide variety of characters that left last impressions. I was really hoping for a small glimpse into the future at the very end though. Overall great series. One of the better series this season. |

| Man, Mamiko Noto's new boss is a hotheaded, yelling bastard. He hired her knowing that she alone as a waitress will quintuple the profits for an establishment, heck even that pushing will keep the customers coming. |

| nice way to end it but as much as i loved this series the whole greatness of it really went down hill after ep 13+ i remember the days of watching ep1-5 getting excited about what P.A was gonna do next, but it's like the the other half of the series was bad it just didn't live up to the earlier stuff imo. but in few months i'll be sure to re watch my favorite episodes because this show always manages to put a smile on my face :3 9/10 |
 |
| I agree, it was a bit strung out but a great series none the less. 9/10..possible 8/10 if I change my mind |
 |
| Deecent ending, I've just grown to really like Sui. Had some tears in my eyes a couple times. Dunno what else to say. The show really went downhill after its first two amazing episodes, and it was a pretty big disappointment imo. 6.5/10, so 7/10 on here |
| To be honest, I am going against a LOT of people and giving this a 10. It is definitely something I can see rewatching in the future and something I looked forward to every week. Ohana was a great main character and I just loved this series to bits. It wasn't perfect, but a 10 doesn't mean perfect, it means a masterpiece and in my opinion, this is a series I will personally consider a masterpiece, particularily those first 2 episodes and the last ones. |
| this felt more like a road not taken than a story of romance. i had no attachment to nearly most of the characters except for maybe Nako. i just could not get interested in the rest of them. |
| Great ending. It really bought it nice together with a happy ending that didn't really get rushed despite the fact it's 26 episodes. |

| The ending left me thinking. This isn't how I wanted the show to end. So many personal unresolved issues left on the table. Only token efforts the show minimal progress on 4 fronts. TomoexSugardaddy, MinchiXtohru, EnishiXJudowife, and OhanaxKo. The only real resolution was that Kissiuso closed and they had to find other work/school. However, I still sorta enjoyed the ending. I just wished there was more to it than that. The bests parts were with the Shijima family Sui and Satsuki, and with Ohana and Sui near the end. Someone said the series would have been better only 12-13 episodes. I agree it should have been shorter. Especially if your building up the side characters like they did only to not do anything substantial with them at the end. Ohana has a lot going for it but it just ended up with something missing. I still think it's worthy of an 8/10 with all the hard work that went into the animation and production. |
| Nice ending =). Iroha is a really charming character. |
 » Escapism. |
| Wow. I can't believe it's finally at an end! Bittersweet but overall quite realistic. If PA works ever wishes to revive this anime with a second season.. in all honesty I'm not sure if it is able to have the same effect on us as this one did. Farewell Ohana-chan and Kissuiso, will miss ya'll <3~ |
| Do not feed the trolls! They bite ;D |
| alright ending show went downhill halfway through 7/10. |
 |
DeathfireD said: You know why it dragged? Because it's a slice of life, idiots lol 100% agree. i would say "dragged" as well because for the genre, it didn't really drag too much. |
| Great end. It made up for the FORCED DRAMA last couple of episodes. The story is about Ohana sharing a small part of her life. You got to see her grow up and I enjoyed everything about the series. The bitter sweet end is great just like True Tears. Speaking of True Tears, they threw in a cameo with Shinichirō's dad. http://myanimelist.net/character/33309/Munehiro_Nakagami  |
| I was totally expecting Okami-san to like, collapse/get a heart attack/unexpectedly die alllllllllllllllll the way throughout the entire episode. "oh, she's gonna die now" "No, now" "SHE'S GONNA GET HIT BY THE TRAAAIIN--aw, dammit." I swear nothing's wrong with me <_<; I BLAME STEINS;GATE |
 |
| NICE ENDING! I LOVE IT! :) |
     |
| Nice ending I suppose. |

| 8/10.. very enjoyable slice of life.. i didn't feel like it dragged but it had a couple of ups and downs.. good thing it has great production and memorable characters.. and it succeeded in making me love that inn as well.. yes, the inn and the people related to it is the whole point of the show.. anyway, True Tears is still the best show of P.A. Works.. |
| I wonder what Sui and Satsuki wished for on their wooden plaques during the festival.. Really enjoyed the conclusion, although I was expecting to feel more emotional; it was very heartwarming and nostalgic - loved the throwbacks to similar scenes in episode 1. Overall a 9/10 for me (would be 8.5 if not for the stunning animation). |
| Man this anime has been with me for half a year now! Its gonna feel like theres something missing now... :( I liked this final ep, not much drama but alot of closure. |
 |
| Will miss it :) |
| The ending was pretty good. Didn't really make me shed a single tear or anything, but it was indeed such a soft heart warming one. I feel like I'm gonna miss this series. |
