| Kyaaaa ! This manga was just so cool ! I loved it, even thought the line art isn't that great, the anime was very nice to watch. ;D I actually finished watchin' it the day I've started ! Mmmh ! 'Doughter's so kawaii, nee ? =^_^ |
azmaty said: I actually finished watchin' it the day I've started ! I watched it it and finished in one night (thank you, insomnia) - but it was worth watching. After half of eps I thought "oh my, so many things has happened, I expected it to develop slowler, what they want to put in the next 12 eps?...". And it was totally beyond my expectations. A lot of love, hesitation, fun, jealousy, torment and -finally - happiness. To sum up: I loved it :) p.s.: if you watched Sailor Moon |

| I liked the ghost plot :D |
| Ugh zzzzz had to force myself to watch this episode |
| This show is so overrated 5/10. There should have been more focus on some of the side characters. |

| Great episode but I wish it was more of a future than flashback episode. I wonder what their daughter would look like as a grown up |
 |
| I wish Kotomi got more screen time. Her personality and gags with her mom almost make up for Naoki's annoying personality for 4/5 of the show. Also, they've been married for 7 years and Kotoko still calls Naoki Irie-kun? That's a bit awkward... Overall, a solid series. I love the concept of following the couple from high school until family life, but I wish the couple could've been more appealing. 8/10 |
 |
| The show felt that it end last episode and this was more an ova/special episode, which still was funny and just to see her child and everyone around her being so happy just made it amazing! This whole anime really made my day, it has just the perfect setting and feeling I always look in slice of life romance anime's and well this one sure had all the aspects! The great difference in character and story development up to the 24th episode was just amazing. The pace was really lovely, even though the art was a bit out dated for when it was created it was still really lovely to watch and it felt totally right up until the end! Anime such as these are just masterpieces for me therefor a 10/10! |
 |
| I absolutely loved this series. 9/10 |
 |
| I dropped this show after episode 14 where they had a wedding. I think none of the characters have any real personality. It seems like they are just following a script rather than having believable emotions and actions. She is the stupid, naive, clumsy girl hopeless in love with a random guy for no good reason. Naoki hardly shows any emotion. He's like a robot. And his decision to get married was awkward. He's just suddenly saying romantic things that sound like a corny script to me. He should have at least showed some embarrassment or hesitation like a male tsundere. I didn't think Kotoko showed any reason why she should like Naoki, especially for so long. It had to be shallow reasons, like his being smart and handsome. They tried to show Naoki as being more kind and caring than before, but it hardly seemed like anything truly kindhearted. It was less than the minimum you should expect from anyone. I am really puzzled by how well liked this seemingly generic romance is. Even my friends on MAL who tend to have similar tastes to me liked this show. I thought I'd find it to be at least average, but I have to give it a 4/10. Strange... |
Ajunky said: Great anime, it's definitely worth to watch. BTW, dropping on episode 14 and coming to episode 25's discussion to complain out of pure spite is... well, stupid, honestly. I completely agree. I thoroughly enjoyed this anime. I know a lot of people don't like Naoki because he's cold but the fact is he's cold to everyone. It's not like he's only cold to Kotoko. If Kotoko loves him in spite of this fault in his personality, well more power to her. I also think Naoki has a lot to put up with when it comes to Kotoko. Since the two are making it work and seem to love each other in spite of their faults, I enjoy watching them try to work with their differences as a couple. Most importantly, the anime shows that both are growing as individuals and as a couple. Naoki's coldness has softened (not evaporated like some people wanted) and I think that's realistic. |
Ajunky said: BTW, dropping on episode 14 and coming to episode 25's discussion to complain out of pure spite is... well, stupid, honestly. Spite: A desire to hurt, annoy, or offend someone What was spiteful about my post? Do you find it offensive if someone doesn't like the same things as you? I posted in the discussion thread... for discussion, not out of spite. I posted here because the last episode thread is where everyone puts their thoughts on the whole show rather than just on a single episode. |
| I really like Naoki as a character, but honestly his romance with Kotoko seemed implausible at first. On the contrary, Chris and Kin-chan really hit it off well. Well, they managed to convince by the end. Although the whole 'jealous of your child' thing left a bad taste, it kind of reminded me of Chibiusa and Mamoru from SM... anyway. Kotoko shaped up a bit over the series, which I wasn't expecting. Though I agree with emeraldrosary, I feel like Kotoko called him "Naoki" at this point would just be... weird. She should have done it earlier, honestly. Also Timofmars while I agree with you on some points, Naoki isn't really a tsundere. He's more of a kuudere (cool type). If he were tsundere, he would be more negative towards Kotoko, but instead he's passive and "cool" towards her. Often acting without a care for her, as it seems. From UD: Differs from tsundere since tsundere is when the character frequently runs hot and cold between tsun and dere. Kuudere is when the character only occasionally shows her caring side. |

| Well we got a happy ending, that was a little bit creepy yet funny, i love it. They are a complete happy family now, and the scene when Kotoko and Mi-chan trying to get Naoki's attention at the train was funny, i'm sure that Mi-chan loves her dad so much, lol |
 |
| the moment when u realise...he's DEAD. LEL Rest in peace, Tada-sensei. |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| DUnno how people can see this as romantic. Kotoko was so badly treated for the entire time, and, seriously, the man she "loves" is just an arrogant, jealous, misogynistic ass. And th ending, supposedly "happy" makes me roll my eyes because I know, and all the people know, that once you are who you are for years and years, you can't change. Naoki will always be a horrible person. Or maybe he's not HORRIBLE, but the type that isn't really born for romance and pink candies, there are people like that. But this show tries so much to turn him into a romantic lovely person it's sad. He even slapped Kotoko once or twice I don't remember. But the gesture itself screamed WRONG TYPE of dude. The way the anime make him look is what made it for me impossible to believe that he has even the slightest chance of eve changing to be what a girl wants. Lol... What's even worse about this show is that it tries to picture Kotoko as a happy housewife who only wants to be a humble slave around Naoki's house. I know this is a very japanese picture a female traditional role or smth. This show makes you feel good and gives you an optimistic view on life? How can even people think like that? Kotoko for me is a like a huge huge pile of very low self confidence and very low self esteem. She's the embodiment of a weak woman with a father complex. Who ends up accepting a horrible person by her side, with whom she doesn't even belong, who ends up ruling her life becasue "she loves this". How can you take this crap as a GOOD MESSAGE???? |

I completely agree with this 100%! This anime was cringe worthy at times. I have to say, you pretty much covered almost every fault, i wasn't even rooting for the main couple to get together tbh.. But when they did i kinda just shrugged it off..But people hate this anime for the reasons Cx.. Like for ex : The author couldn't just say, hey i wanna make my characters as NORMAL as possible, cause then that would be boring right? That would be like every movie out there! So instead she/he took the worst approach and somehow made it work i guess? |
| One of the best animes iv watched in a while :3 |
 |
| Well, it felt a bit more like an OVA than something else, but it was still great. Irie have one hell of a family. Such a bunch of weirdos, but she always find a way to handle them :P I would have wanted to see more of their life with Kotomi :( Especially that childish rivalty between her and Kotoko xD |

| I do think this episode should have been an OVA rather than part of the main series, but this wouldn't be the first thing this anime has done wrong. Overall I'd say I'm just glad it's over. 02/10 |
 |
| Ok episode, should have been an OVA instead. It felt more like an OVA since the show already showed the ending. I didn't like any of the other 6 kids, but it was nice to see Kotoko go at with them. Calling out the red haired guy and the chick, funny. II'll miss the show. Idk about you guys, for me starting a show is slow but in the halfway mark, I breeze through it and towards the end I slow down. It's a habit. For this show, I pretty much marathoned half of the middle part of the show. |
 |
| well and thats the end of the show. honestly at first i wasn't sure what to think cause of the personality of irie really anoyed me so the beginning was bit hard to see trough but in the end it turned out pretty well even some other characters got maried and a kid and a relation that is still developing so that actualy made it worth it in the end. 8/10 would have been higher if they did more stuff with chris her kid and also with matsumotos relationship development but the way it is now is acceptable so it comes to a 8 |
| "When a flat-chested loli hugs you, she holds you closer to her heart" "--I am a single bullet. It has no heart. Therefore, it does not think. It just flies straight towards its target."  |
| All I can do is laugh at this show's entirety. This was complete garbage. I'm no feminist and I can easily hate whatever the fuck his name is. Treated her like shit, but I can't say I feel bad for her either because she was stupid enough to go through that bullshit and still marry him and have his kid. How do people love this show so much? Objectively, it's fucking garbage! Do girls really relate to this shit and feel good about it?!?!? |
| Annoying family.That ghost was nice tho. Liked when Kotoko owned everyone of them. Seriously tho, why would you introduce characters in the very last chapter and end it just here with only the main duo and their kid. All for the sake of some promise. I mean, okay, the ghost guy was good but the rest of them were kinda meh (except the grandma) I also disliked the grandpa. I cared more about the other characters more than some village family. 6.5~7/10 for this show. |

| I didn't think I would enjoy this show this much. Kotoko and Naoki really came a long way. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Enjoyable "final" episode! Was a good wind-down from all that celebration and excitement of the previous one. Overall, the show was a lot of fun, but I felt it lost some of its edge in the 2nd half (I couldn't get over Naoki's sudden acceptance of Kotoko feeling a bit unwarranted). Naturally, it was rough watching Kotoko constantly bend over backwards for an emotionally abusive Naoki instead of growing a spine and finding someone more suitable (not Kinnosuke, of course). But it was cool that it went past high school and college, to marriage and actually having a kid, though. Very sweet ending with ep. 24. 8.5 cold shoulders to cry on /10 |
