| I liked the ending, I'm sorry for Sora, but her death created some good scenes (the one with the phone is just perfect) |
| Sad.....good anime though. 8/10 |

| 6 What kind of a shit end was that? I was expecting the cliché voice-out-of-nowhere-and-turn-around-and-close-up-smirk. That would have been way better than THIS end. It got good with the time skip. I just love these "_ years later" things at the end of anything. But they ultimately ruined it RUINED IT JUST LIKE THAT. JUST LIKE THAT. And that song Yasuko sang (titled "Shimokitazawa") --- MAN that's a crappy song. Mavz0r said: Okay, there's something seriously wrong with this. "I wonder where Sora Suzuki works nowadays", and more of that. All I could think was "Did she die? No wait, she suggested she's alive. Wait, he said she's dead. But, now he says she's alive!" - seriously. u fkn srs? Only Hara-sensei, Saori-sensei, Gouta, Sora, and her mother know, as shown in the anime. Almost a passing grade, just because it has proved to be the most realistic slice-of-life and that it knows how to do emotional realism very well. Also for the backgrounds, but you know. It's not some big studio like MADHOUSE for the budget, so........fuck. What unfortunate times. |

| Tender, sensitive...the end made the anime disconsolate. Profound and beauteous work; the plot were sluggish and captivating, the atmosphere were deep. Excellent. |
We're just the boys and girls that think they always know... |
| Tragic. The romance build up feels natural to me |

| I was wondering how it could end, and it ended in a very good way. Gouta visiting Sora to tell her about the things he saw, just like Sora did for her father. It was very sad to see him as he meet Sora's mother, but he didn't knew who she was as he didn't got a change to meet her. I'm wondering if Kuroda, Asagi and Yamabuki do know that Sora has died... |

| I had the impression that Sora had the potential to develop the ability to heal others, but Gouta wasn't good enough for that. What i think happened, was she never recovered from the lightning storm and toughed it out until getting back to the tree. It's the 'one with great power and/or kindness has a short life' trope. Oh yeah, Gouta was looking for a very particular tree, Sora's mom had a hunch and knew where it was, so obviously she figured it out. The animation was very cheap in this series, as it was in the original (mouth often just opened and stayed open when they spoke).. in this one, facial expressions were awkward and inaccurate, however my tolerance for poor animation has gone up over the years. Story-wise, it seems it spent a bit much time in lesser relevant stuff and rushed through more important things, but it was good overall. I liked the dolphin sound in the last frame as a hat tip to the original series. |

| Sad ending, makes you feel kinda like "why couldn't they live happily together ever after" But I loved it... the ending had balls. Not like that certain anime with magic orbs and shit. |

| what a pointless waste of time.. it went from a long and slow nothingness with lazy art to an out of nowhere twist of her dying.. like what the hell was the point of this crap |
| I'm really quite mixed on the turn of events in this series. Without a doubt it's depressing to have Sora die and it definitely affected me. But I'm frustrated about it too, mainly because it comes out of nowhere and a really nice relaxing show with a nice simple romance suddenly turns into a tragic melodrama in the last 3 or so episodes. All hints towards Sora's health were very small beforehand, it definitely would seem as though the Mother was aware the whole time. I just don't know how to feel, other than completely bummed out. The characters were really likable in their own subtle ways and the development of them all was similarly subtle but nicely paced. Her dying felt like a cop out to get some serious drama thrown in and it worked in terms of its effect, I marathoned the last 7 episodes and the twist certainly helped in that. But I don't feel satisfied, just emotional pain at the unjust sad ending to a really nice young girl's life. I've seen this series and it's rubbish predecessor tagged as Iyashikei, the original series is a badly executed version of one of these. But in the case of this spin-off/sequel I feel like I was sold a pack of lies. I don't feel healed or relaxed, just depressed with a heavy heart. This is not the outcome I signed up for. I had the series on 8/10 throughout pretty much and I will probably stick with that. But man fuck reality, fuck realism and fuck killing off Sora!! : ( |
| that ending hit me in the feels god damn. some good shit right here. need to rewatch this in the future. |
| No tears for this one, all my tears were spent on Angel Beats! |
| The ending ruins the uniqueness this series had. |
 |
| Did Sora die in her mother’s arms? OMG!! That’s so incredibly sad. I hate Sora died. I really loved the Gouta X Sora romance. |

| watching this was such a strange experience, it felt like being stuck in the first chapter of a book and then it skipped to the end. i didn't feel any sense of urgency for the drama or anticipation for the romance. there was no build up or development of anything and then it hits me with melodrama when the story hasn't managed to tell me almost anything interesting about these characters it doesn't help that this anime doesn't hide that it's low budget at all. i like the stylized photo backgrounds but the weird tight framing of characters and the way they avoid having characters walk into frame or face away from the camera to avoid animating them while speaking was so distracting. the visuals and character designs are pretty drab even separate from the animation just not a very engaging anime in almost any way, i did like the music though |
| Definitely one of the worst anime I've ever watched. The worst part is a Slice of Lice, and a Slice of Life being this bad is sad. This anime has so many flaws that it's not even worth mentioning... |
