Well, I attended a more "LOVEFUL HAPPY ENDING" since Tadashi and Akira were already dating (their love story was great ;D).
I find that the end was not so bad up to the moment Hikari and Kei were finally KISSING ! (OH YEAAAAAH !) "You are my special... <3" Oh man...
Why does it end like that ? Why does the last minute exist ? Why is he still callin' her "NII-SAN". =____=
Does he really think he's gonna call some other girl "ICHI-SAN" some day ?
Why don't they start a new romance after their kiss in London ?
Oh come on...

[By the way, I'm french, so "Si il y a quelques français qui par hasard passent sur ce site, je serai contente d'enfin pouvoir écrire mes comments en fr. Bien que je sois bilingue, c'est toujours plus naturel pour moi de papoter "in french please." (:
ciao.]

They could have done better. Mind you i never had high hopes for this series, i only watched because i'm a raging fan of Yuuko Gotou. But i really felt things could have wrapped up better in London. And i'm not gonna even comment on Aoi, for someone who pulled so many strings to give up because a peasant girl doesn't give up really tested my suspension of disbelief.

Regardless, in retrospect it was a good series, especially the absurd comedy. Also, i loved how Gotou managed to pull off the tomboyish Hikari. She get's typecasted too much into moe roles (though for a good reason), but i really hope to listen to her playing more diverse roles. Maybe a tsundere, lol.

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...

Dissatisfied with the ending. Really.
The ending was just meh. I was like, "That's it? So it ends here? This is the ending?"
I agree with everyone else, there didn't seem to be a development between Hikari and Kei's relationship. >___<
GAHHH sucha letdown. I'm really hoping there would be a second season of this.

Why can't there be season 2?????? When Ryuu was holding a dog outside the building, there was a person looking at him from the window... and i'm pretty sure that was finn. So someone should make a season 2 to explain that!!!! Urgh!!! The ending was cute.... but kinda random as well :P :'(

Anyone who has read the manga -- how close does the anime follow the manga? If I wanted to skip some chapters and start where the anime ends, would I be able to? If so, around what chapter should I start at?

Kinda a bad ending... But at least they got together. That's more than we can say about the Ouran couple.

I loved how they were floating.

What Season 2 consists of: what happened when they stop floating? The ambulance ride on the way to the hospital.

Alright, the ENDING.
But not satisfied.

Why is it that Ryuu don't have any partner!?

Your concern is how they survived the fall? Oh why it's not like they showed superhuman supowerpowers (yes it's intended) across the entire series.
Jumping 100 feet high, punching through solid steel and stuff like that? Easy.
Surviving a fall - impossible!

They never obeyed any laws of physics to begin with.

It was a great series but the ending... It was better than what I feared it would be but still a lot lot lot lot lot worse than what I kinda hoped it could be.

No confessions, just a random kiss and we get a typical "everything ends fine but nothing gets resolved" ending. Well at least it was a lil more direct than let's say Gohsuushou-sama where there was virtually N-O-T-H-I-N-G resolved in the end (even though I loved that one).

So yeah - would love a second season but the sad truth is - it ain't gonna happen.

I kinda have to agree with this. For a shoujo, it was fairly sexist and quite frankly I don't think the Gonzo art style did the whole thing any favors. Been a while since I've given a show I just completed a 6/10. It was okay, it was fun, but it really wasn't very special at all. BIG dissapointment after just finishing Kaichou wa Maid-sama!, which I felt was superior in pretty much every way.

It's really just a very weak mix of Ouran and Kaichou. Bland characters, predictable, unrealistic events that aren't outrageous or well-done enough to be funny, and as others have said- a very, very weak ending. I can say with certainty that we don't need a season 2. Just give us season 2 of Kaichou instead. =)

Didn't like the ending, but overall this was a great watch.

Couple of things I don't understand though. Who the hell is supporting Hikari??? Her family is poor, and she goes to the richest school in Japan?!?!? How did she pay for the trip to Hawaii? MAL's synopsis says the father is paying for the school... Really?

We don't see the father working at all; he's always lounging around when we see him. I know she's hanging out with rich kids that could be paying for everything, but at least mention it (unless I missed it).

I liked it. One of the more well written animes out there. The ending wasn't perfect but by anime standards it wasn't bad, I give it an eight. I would've given it a nine if the voice acting was better directed. I checked a couple of times just to make sure Stephen Foster wasn't involved. The Main characters weren't that bad, but the side/background characters I could tell were seriously under-managed and left much to be desired.

What happened to that write erase board Yahiro gave to Megumi? I guessed she preferred several pages that she could use for prewritten responses.
I like Hentai, you like real life.

The ending felt really dumb and fairy tailish.
Just go and kiss on top of London tower while floating
mid-air. Kei couldn't just chase Hikari down in some park
like a normal person and just kiss her? I really wanted
to see an episode were they're a couple and what
happens from there. Well that was my only problem
with the show, other then that it was kinda cute~

Hmmm. I read the manga so for me it wasn't that good.
These effects were so kitsch. Why.
Of course I didn't excpect much of a 25 episodes anime to cover 17 volumes but still. I would say it was ok.
I'd give a 7/10 just because it was fun.

Question is, why didn't the guards stop the kids? They could just sue the kids, lay off the other parents and fucking act like dictators if they wanted to. If a representative of Google was at your house with 20 guards, no shit you will listen am I right? you have no social standing, basically you are fucked when it comes to the law. Where are the Tasers/firearms, heck even a club or baton? They have defensive lasers but nothing?

I thought they fell off the clock tower kissed in the air and became paraplegics. I mean how the fuck did they get back to London wtf?

Wow... so this series was probably one of the best romance once I've seen. It was perfect.

I loved it all.

But who do i love most?
Takishima Kei
Why? Simply because he's not your dumb oblivious blind/dense MC. He expresses his feeling so clearly and he's so awesome.

The girl Hikari is also pretty good, as well as Tadashi. Those are my few most favorite, as well as Yahiro.

Loved this show, the ending was perfect and satisfying. Though they could've went into more depth/detail when developing Kei and Hikari's relationship. Made it a bit too rushed in the end I think. Also wasn't very clear about why they let Kei back after being SOOOO forceful about him going to London, doesn't make that much sense. But overall it was AWESOME.

5/5 and 10/10 for the series.

Awwwn, poor Hikari, she still hasn't beat Kei. But it had to end with a duel, isn't it?

Anyway, it was cute, but I would have liked a confession from Hikari side. I mean, I laughed out loud when she said that he was her special friend when they were kissing. Poor dude, he's been friend-with-benefitzoned! Miss Hikari wild ride never end!

That was a fun watch, I may pick up the manga just to see if they end up together, damnit!

Special A, an anime that did not know what it wanted to acheive. Did it try to be funny? Or was it trying for satisfying romance? Did the producers want to show hilarious comedy through repetition? Maybe sweet moments that make us smile and chuckle? Heck, Was it trying to be a mexican soap drama? No, it did not commit to any of the categories, leaving a bland taste in the mouths of the watchers. We weren't roused enough to laugh, weren't riled up to cry,weren't touched by anything.

In short, it half-assed every genre that can be possible encompassed in a school genre anime. Themes for this story are expectedly childish which was clearly aimed towards young girls, which include: "Don't tell lies!" "always say sorry, no matter the situation." "Always try to make friends." It seems so kiddy. Special A is a good example of an amalgamation of mildly sour tunes that just didn't come together well.
