Ok so that episode was perfect! It was funny and it ended like it should have! All the couples were so KAWAII!! haha And best of all Hikari and Kei finally kissed! I was so happy! It is sad, however, that the anime has now ended! At least I still have the manga! :3

I didn't like this ep at all. Ending was... lol there was ending?? Where o.O ?? I didn't see any endings >:\ What's up with that? Some random kiss in the end, no confessions, nothing.. there was almost no development in Hikari x Kei relationship...
Anyways, we did see Finn looking at Ryuu from the window at some moment. So, maybe there is hope for second season? Would be great...

The ending was way too predictable, although I, myself, couldn't think of a better one, other that than this episode was great.

Ending was nothing special. The way they ended it was rather boring. Also, apparently Kei and Hikari can fly. Overall I give it a 8/10.

Great series, okay ending. I was expecting at least Kei to say "I love you" , but on Hikari's side, gotta admit that "You're my special one" is all that she can handle saying for the moment. Maybe later she'll really be able to say it. SEASON 2 PLEASE! ^^

Now I wish I had dropped this instead of getting hooked on the first 12 episodes. Huge disappointment. This show went from a 10/10 for me to a 7/10. This horrible finish has ruined an otherwise addictive, fun and quirky show.

Although it was predictable, the ending was okay. Actually the series was good for wanting me to read the manga, so I'll give it a try.

Gah, so that's it?
Sure, sure, i loved it. it was funny, it was cute, it had a happy ending but... I dunno. I'm really unsatisfied. the ending was kinda crap. everything goes back to normal?? i like it when their lives are changed forever and they step forward into their new, bright future!
It was cool to see London though. Even if it does seem that Kei lives in St Paul's and that Big Ben has an invisible glass platform coming out designed for japanese teenagers to make out in mid air on.
Roll on season 2 though! I wanna see who Ryuu's mysterious window dwelling true love is!

I totally agree with you, because I had had problems with saying what is this feeling; exactly, everything during time of subtitles was too normal, maybe not behaviour of 5 of S*A (it was nice, and Megumi said something ("Ah" <lol2>, Akira and Tadashi were cute as usual :D), but Kei and Hikari... the one difference in their attitude was that she smiled while saying: "Don't call me Miss Number Two" ;)

what can i say other then disappointing! i was really looking forward to this episode as the whole season has be amazing. but the final episode seemed not have conculed anything. if they are going to leave it like this i will be very disappointed.
the kiss seemed out of place and the whole 'jumping from big ben' seemed totally out of wack. i know its an anime but even kei cant jump from big ben and survive.

the last sceen was pretty crap too. there was no indication to if hikari and kei were now dating or anything!

the season up the episode 24 was very very good, but the last episode brings it down.

my mark for the series before ep24 is a 10/10... but my mark for ep 24 is a disappointing 6/10.

not enough emotion!

I have to say this was a far better ending then I was expecting from this show. The first half of the series was awful but the second have was a major change. I'm happy how this show turned out in the end. I'm guessing from the posts above that the story continues in the manga, I guess I'll have to start reading it.

Hikari and Kei finally kissed!]


as far as i rememer they kissed before forgot which episode but its the episode when kei said he could go to hell with hikari.. you know when he was sick and all..

anyway this episode was all good, had to wait longer for it then you guys coz i loved the m33w subs.. i loved it when ryuu did that thing to the dog so kawaii!! although when kei and hikari kissed they were flying? i know they're like super amazing but flying?

and that girl if it is a girl when they showed the couples the one at the window when they previewed ryuu was that his partner?

i can finally say maybe no season 2 but atleast an OVA? onegai!

I would give it a tad higher score, maybe a 7 (cuz Tadashi is funny)

Kinda half-assed with the "break through with everyone's strength" ideal.

Time to read the manga then XD

Disappointing ending is disappointing. They tried to keep all the elements from the beginning at the very end, but it just made it seem as if the characters grew nothing at all, which contradicts with pretty much the rest of the episode. The kissing in mid-air? Dramatic, but it made my eye twitch.

I love this series, really do, but this last episode was just far too disappointing.

Oh my. Special A can be funny but at times, they just go too far with the exaggeration and the anime-original-developments. For instance, YahiroxMegumi aren't an official couple in the anime yet - the fact that Yahiro suddenly tried to KISS Megumi was OOC.
Also, why can Hikari and Kei fly in the air? >_> After watching episode 19 I wanted to give it an 8 but then reduced it to 7 and now I want to give it a 6/10 >_>

In my opinion, Megumi/Yahiro was the best part of episode 24, because I love this pairing, it's so touching and cute and beautiful :D It was so nice.
On the other hand, I find annoying other exaggeration = too much comedy, for example canon rice bals in episode 6/7/whatever were funny, but supernatural Kei's abilities... and BIG BEN KISS, it was so stupid... >< And poor Tadashi in episode 24, I can understand checking security system by him (and Akira xD), because it was only one moment, but having him stopping laser gun... it was too big exaggeration, I suppose. We can say these lasers cause uncounciousness, but I don't like it, either xP

I just don't get it why most of you is so pissed/disappointed with the ending. I think it had everything it should of had, and i couldn't think of a better way to end the show. I even liked the "break through with everyone's strength" thing, although it was a bit corny. And while the characters acted like at the beginning, like nothing changed..but they did change!

Only thing is that i couldn't get over the fact that they just f***** jumped off the f***** tower! It ruined the whole kissing scene for me, so I had to re-watch it.

I think DeathfireD summarized the whole show in general pretty well: "The first half of the series was awful but the second have was a major change. I'm happy how this show turned out in the end." I'm looking forward to a possible season 2, but i'm quite satisfied with what i've gotten.

The ending was good, not great, but good. I like that it was a full SA effort to get to Takashima. Like everyone is saying the ending was kind of lacking and had me saying "that's it!"

Overall the series was enjoyable, especially the later episodes, so I'm giving the series and 8/10.

I hope to see a second season.

Eeh, the ending was okay. After all that, there's nothing definite between Kei and Hikari, even with the kiss. I guess I wished she properly told him how she felt. It bothered me that she continously called him her rival.

I guess it would've left a bad impression if Kei didn't end up going back, but I felt Aoi gave in way too easily.

Aa, well, it was a good show.

overall very good. the last episode was good until the last scene. tho i would have liked to see hikari fight aoi again and beat him.

also did anyone else just get that "sailor moon" feeling when the were flying towards the clock and holding each other.

Well, true, as a supporter of YahiroxMegumi I should love how they suddenly turned them into an official lovey-dovey couple, but my problem is that there was absolutely NO DEVELOPMENT. They first talked to each other (got to know each other) in epi19. And then there has been silence. Not a single word about them until we see Yahiro trying to kiss Megumi in the finale. Thus, their ending lacks depth and doesn't convince the watchers. In the manga, there was more development between them and Yahiro doesn't have any romantic feelings...yet XD That's why I can say that Yahiro's sudden change of character is unrealistic. He can't suddenly break through the wall he's built around himself from one moment to the other.

Anyway. I absolutely disliked the first 10 epis, then started to become a SA-fan during epis 12-19 but after that, I lost interest again - And now, looking back at the finale, I can only say there have been better series.

Yes,there was no development (but I like my explainations about time between episode 20 and 21, everyone managed to change their uniforms, so in these months they COULD fall for each other and I'm planning to write ff about their feelings in anime to fill the gap), but I prefer anime to manga ( because I started wathing anime first and I love atmosphere in Special A - slice of life & really nice comedy) I know it has a lot of mistakes, exaggeration, but there is something about this anime. True friendship, great characters, something touching and nice. It's the most enjoyable anime I've ever seen (even if I haven't watched a lot xD)

Episode 1 was great, 2-6 - average, 7-20 - great [especially 14-19], 21-24 - very good (except for Big Ben kiss and last scene xD)

But as I said - my normal, rational score would be 8/10, 9/10, but because of my enjoyment it's 10/10 ;)

The ending was not great IF you compare it with that arc in the manga, which had much more drama, but as a stand alone for the anime, it does sum it up quite well. Kei x Hikari always had superhuman strength anyway so I don't see why it's surprising they can fly, haha, especially when it's already been said in a couple of past episodes that "anything can happen when it involves the SA".

For me, I just want more Megumi x Yahiro! XD Never in my mind did I expect that couple.
