It's been a while, but iirc, she did come back. Like, literally the last 10 seconds of the show, I think they show a video clip of her after she came back.

Damn, another anime with such great beginning and so forgettable ending. I guess after a while i won't remember how it ended, it was too much lovey dovey. Another story where girl go away, there's lots of crying and remembering the times together and then, after credits small part which show that she eventually came back. I really liked the beginning though, it made me smile and laugh a lot.

all thought i don't wanna believe she came back i think she did come back at the end dammit. this was the second time i hoped for a other girl to turn out well i am taking about Kaito Kirishima and Kanna Tanigawa of course.

this also happened in Kimi ga Nozomu Eien where i hoped for Haruka Suzumiya and Takayuki Narumi but in that series they at least didn't make me feel angry and also the second season fixed that.

but in here they just made me feel a little angry.

i was going for a 7/10 but i will give it a 8/10 cause i respect the rest of the anime and we are not sure she came back for good if she left for good it would be a 9/10 if she stayed a 7/10

Fantastic series!

Anh~ That ending was so good!

And YES Ichika came back. Last few seconds: "What happened to your space ship? Huh? It broke? Again?"

The AGAIN at the end confirms that she ends up back on earth! Not saying as though her ship broke but because of the movie they phrased it that way. She came back voluntarily because the MiB had achieved what was necessary for that to happen.

Thank you all the producers for making such a good show!

Them last few episodes had so many feels! Bravo! 9/10 from me.

I agree. (Except I didn't find the beginning as enjoyable as you might've, nothing really stood out for me.) But I guess it's like the cookie-cutter for a Romance genre. Endings that seem to sum up everything in a few seconds and try to answer all the questions the viewer might have, which in this case is "Did she really come back?". I mean ... the ending implies she does and it's an easy go-to ending for the series.

YAY, finally I finished the anime, and I really loved it. And specially this final episode hay a lot of surprises.

The character I loved is Remon, I think she wins the prize of mysterious character in the whole series.

You don't need to be a genius to figure out that ichika was allowed to come back and see Kaito again. Just because you don't get to see them "together" it's a bad ending? Once again, go back to watching disney movies -___-

When they rescue the memories, probably the earth changed her classification from F to E (?), and probably when it got promoted they could speak to the people from earth, meaning that she can come and live here. I think this is what happened

Honestly, the MIB was so random lol. I couldn't take the anime too seriously but the emotions were definitely still there. Overall, a good anime, they showed Ichika coming back in style. Loved how the show ended with her wearing the souvenir.

At long last I decided to watch this.. and it certainly lived up to its name.
I didn't really liked Kaito at first.. I was more interested in all the other characters' relationship.
In the beginning Remon is already suspicious enough.. I kept thinking she was an alien too.
Suddenly she became MIB.. wow that totally gave me a K.O.
In the end I guess it's a bittersweet happy ending.. but the only one I felt sad for is Kanna.
I was actually hoping she would get together with Kaito. LOL

Okay, I'm not bothered to look through the posts but it's pretty obvious that she came back.

It wasn't exactly a bittersweet ending, she came back. In the end the students said "They're playing the movie AGAIN this year?". Which implies that this is 1 year after and she returned to COMPLETE the movie. If you remember Mrs MIB said that this is the UNCOMPLETE version, and that Ichika would complete it.

Once again, no idea if it's already mentioned but not bothered to look.

So Ichika did leave after all. And then came back, breaking her spaceship again - perhaps deliberately this time.

They left all the romance stuff unanswered, although it was hinted at.

And Remon really was a M.I.B. - not that that wasn't obvious.

Just finished watching this series.

I did find the episode really depressing though. To go through all of that trouble of reaching the place Ichika had wished to see only to find that the evidence of previous alien-human contact was destroyed. And if that wasn't sad enough, almost immediately after, Ichika is captured by an emergency vessel and returned to her home planet, without Ichika and Kaito properly exchanging their last goodbyes...

I'll admit, I absolutely hate bittersweet endings, and I hated the fact that it took over half the series for Ichika to come to terms with her feelings with Kaito, only to be seperated from him about 2 episodes later.

Fortunately, the last 20 or so seconds of the episode was enough to make me satisfied with this ending because hey, at least Ichika came back in the end! It's my understanding from this ending that shortly after... in fact, very shortly after Ichika returned to her home planet, Remon returned to work for the MIB, and with the help of Ichika's companion Rinon who remained on Earth (Rinon seems like a highly intelligent creature, and seems to have contact with Ichika's home planet, so it wouldn't surprise me if he was able to retrieve the blueprints for Ichika's space ship), they rapidly developed a spaceship to travel to, and join the Galactic Federation, which resulted in Earth no longer being an F-ranked planet.

So overall, a good anime series with a satisfactory ending, I give it a 7/10. I'm just glad it wasn't a bittersweet ending. :)

Overall a good series. I knew Lemon/Remon w/e you want to say her name, was a MIB. I mean, come on... That movie script. Though, the melodrama was a bit over the top for the final episodes. Solid series otherwise.

Ok....so ik alot of people r saying it was a great ending, but i don't think so. i mean the endind was awsome but i want to see more. More of kaito and ichika. I want to see if she actually gets to come back to earth. in the very last few minutes of episode 12 it showed ichika in the movie, but i think it was edited into it by kaito. because i remember seeing him film the clothes kaito's sister bought for ichika. i am a HUGE sucker for romance anime. but it makes me a little mad when there is only one season and it's not even a long season. "Lets make another 1 or 2 seasons for so and so anime". that's wat i want to here form the developers of all these anime shows that make them short and don't bother continueing them. i just saw episode 12 this morning at 3 a.m. and was balling my eyes out when ichika was taken away from kaito. all i'm saying is there should be more to it and more seasons.

ok listen from wat i saw i don't think she came back in the end....think about it. when nanami came back home with the stuff for ichika and Kaito said she had left, he recorded a short video of the clothes. and the last part of the movie they made was edited in. they already the recording of ichika turning around and saying wat she said. so they just edited the clothes in. I may be completely wrong but it doesn't seem like ichika came back. feel free to comment about my post and feel free to argue about it

i get what you are getting at but at the very end in the movie its pretty clear that she returns and is reunited with kaito. They even show a film taken presumingly using kaito's camera to record the last scene where in the entire series he is the onky one to record anything to do with ichika by herself

All's well, that ends well. Great ending imo. This gives me an 8/10. It would be great if we get to see Ichika's place, and her parents but didn't show.

Intense during the 1st half. Wow, Remon was badass with her van in combat mood. Everyone is working together and those MIB guys showed up out of nowhere XD. Nice sweet moment on the train ride for Ichika and Kaito.

Well they got to the scenery place but then she was suddenly taken away immediately. Though they promise they will held these memorable memories with each other.

The ending wrap things up with the movie being finished, Remon transferring to a different place (The MIB) and everyone grew up together. But then that last part of the movie...

They ruined an otherwise brilliant ending by having her come back to Earth at the last second. It would have been so much better if she stayed in space, which would have made that ending dialogue about living on in other people's memories far more powerful.
