That was pretty sad. Didn't expect that ending. I don't know what else could be left. It seems like they went over everything.


what was binding her to this world is now over.....what is left...is for her to move on like all dead people do. in case you didn't notice, she couldn't pick up that bell. her time is up....as it were.

It was kind of predictable that teichi was asa's grandson, but in a good way! This episode was amazing i wish there could be a happy ending for them both.

I agree with DuroDeMatar, she'll probably disappear, because nao she accepts all the bad feelings which kept her locked in this world in the condition of a ghost, but, thanks to Teiichi, she'll eventually be in peace, and he will marry Okonogi :D

I didnt like the first half of the episode though. He was so useless and so depressed, i dont like this type of men. Unfortunately, its the most common one it the anime industry.
And Yuuko... I liked her through the series, she seemed to be so sweet and naive, but when she decided to abandon him this image was ruined and she totally started to piss me off.
Good thing the second half was good. Yet too emotional. Especially Kirie. The way she's moving her hands like a windmill... just too much.

i'm so happy for yuuko finally being able to accept herself, both her good and bad memories.
i really didn't want yuuko and teiichi to end up having to forget each other as a way to avoid the pain; of course, their love for each other kept them strong the whole way through :)

but damn, now that yuuko's finally able to find peace with herself, is she going to have to rest in peace as well???

i REALLY want the best ending for yuuko and teiichi, especially after all the things they had to go through :/

i would really rage if they go for a bittersweet ending...

For what I'm assuming is an anime original ending, this is so good! I absolutely loved the reverse ghost twist, and it came together and concluded quite nicely. I was watching the post credits wondering what they could possibly have left to cover in the last episode, and my heart sank when the bell fell through her hands. Give me one last amazing episode, and this may very well be the first 10 to make my list in a long long while.

This is the best show of the season. Totally had me hooked from the first episode, mostly because of the fanservice. It was when she shoved him down the stairs that I knew this was going to be great. The scenes where they sort of "zoom out" the frame leaving black space all around the picture is cool too. Very minimal, less is more kind of direction. It was certainly effective when she was looming over the stairs, at the end of that one episode, and then the ending theme came in... damn.

I know I love a show when I even love the music to it. The opening song is... eh... I dunno, but the ending is sick.

Geez, that was the briefest of brief happy interludes before further drama.

Yuuko "moving on" is almost certainly the plot of the next episode, but I kind of wish it wouldn't be. Can't the guy just have his damn ghost girlfriend?

Doesn't she resemble her grandmother tho, the grandmother obviously wasn't alone forever, besides Okonogi has that admiration vibe to her, Kirie sounds more reasonable imo.

she's not going to forgive him for giving up yuuko anyway, dont you think so? even if she will, she resembles yuuko too much, that'd be too painful. i mean EVEN if he chooses her, they'll eventually break up. that makes okonogi the only reasonable option.

Looks like Yuuko will be crossing over into the afterlife next episode. Could be a real tearjerker. Oh well, if things get too tough for Teiichi he can always just have Kirie grow her hair out! XD

I don't see her not forgiving him for something out of his control like her passing on, as for the resemblance, there could be something there, as they do look alike so it would be painful, but i'm just saying its a better choice than Okonogi.Because all "what if" scenarios aside concerning their future relationship Kirie is the better fit imo.

In the case of Momoe, I'd say yes. I think she's happy enough knowing that he'll be friends with her and hasn't totally rejected her, even if he doesn't love her.

However, Kirie showed that she still has lingering feelings for him and might still be hoping that he'd eventually come to love her as he did with Yuuko. After all, she still has a bond with him, because of their families being tied to each other and I think that would make for the best ending, even if it is a little bittersweet.

Oh wow, a much better episode than the last one. The only problem I had with it was Kirie-san. She was like a bad actor, overacting in every scene which was especially irritating, since she was in a very important position. Everything she said gets a whole different meaning knowing she herself is in love with Teiichi-kun, it was a wonderful depiction of such a situation.

The resolution of Shadow Yuuko's fate was somewhat obvious from the beginning, but they did a much better job at it than Persona 4. Quality > quantity. We had time to know the character and get emotionally attached to her before the inner struggle began.

I wonder how they will close this, there are quite a lot of ways. It was a good show and I wouldn't mind seeing another season, so a cliffhanger or a no-ending is possible for paving the way for a continuation. However, it might not be as good as this season was (I gather from the posts that the canon material has already been adapted), so a closure would probably be better. What would constitute as a happy ending though? Yuuko finally moves on and reincarnates and Teiichi-kun waits for her? I don't want a sad ending. 5/5 superb episode overall.

She undoubtedly still has feelings for him, but it seems as though she's twice given him the "you'd better not give up on Yuuko, since she's the one you really love" pep talk.

Although I wouldn't say a relationship with Kirie is altogether implausible, Kirie would have to go on always knowing Teiichi was only with her because he couldn't have Yuuko.

I got a bad feeling from the post credit ED scene. Yuuko dropping her bell and not being able to grab it right away. Like Kirie has said before, ghosts usually have unresolved conflicts. If Yuuko feels a sense of peace knowing that Asa lived on and her descendent was Teiichi, she may "see the light" and disappear.


I think so too...the ending will be kind of sad...

I predict (as well as many others) sad ending (bittersweet one, to be more precise). Pity, for this show is one of those where I'd like to see happy ending.

This show went from childish but fun to very interesting and even dark, to a certain point. Looking forward to see how it ends.

Luckily this show is nowhere near as sad as that was. And thanks God for that...if I had to sit down through one more of that kind I'd probably go nuts just from being sad.

Good God that was a beautiful episode. Simply wonderful. <3

But since there's one more episode left, there *had* to be some bad omen at the end of this one. And I really hope that it gets a sweet ending. I'd be seriously pissed to see them not end up together some way or another.

I guess in a week's time I'll be watching the last episode, then react accordingly and after that I'll immediately start to read the manga. It's way too amazing not to be read.

This was an amazing ep. Very touching.

5/5

So sad there's only 1 ep left.

Also I'm really curious how they'll end this. I havn't read the manga but it's still on-going. For anyone that reads the manga, is the anime still following it? Reply with a spoiler tag or on my profile if you have the answer. I don't want to read the manga if it turns out the anime strayed from it since a season season would be unlikely if that were the case.

Such a tragic yet good episode this one produced. From Teiichi playing the role of the ghost (ie: Yuuko can't see / touch him) to the point where he makes both Yuuko and her Shadow find comfort (ie: Yuuko no longer needing to be afraid of her past and finally accepting it and the comforting part where her Shadow no longer has a reason to hate anymore after seeing Teiichi break down and saying how frustrating it was that he was unable to do anything for her when he saw her memories).

I've a bad feeling on what's going to happen at the end of the series. Yes it's known that Yuuko is now going to pass on (because she no longer has a reason to stay behind now that she knows what she cared for lived on in Teiichi), but how are they going to do it is the question. Will it be a happy end with Yuuko getting who she loves (even though it's not possible unless they pull a miracle?). Or will it be a bittersweet end (which is likely) where her and Teiichi share one last romantic moment before she can finally rest in peace and move on into the afterlife.

I'm just hoping that they don't disappoint me in the next episode. So far this series has been a perfect 10 for me... but if they end up giving me something I don't like (but there's nothing one can do about it), my score might drop to an 8 or 7. :/

I've been expecting a "sad" end ever since the first time I saw the "Calendrier" ending of episode 2.

I don't care what others say about her, Kirie has been instrumental in this playing out like has. She gets big points from me for that.

Oh shit, they showed the present Yukariko and Teiichi is indeed a descendant of someone who knew Yuuko in her past.
It couldn't end with a happy ending, that's the impression you got from the very beginning and it totally looks like it's going to happen that way, fuck.

We say there is nothing left that holds her back from "salvation" but what about her love for Teiichi, she freakin' loves him, shouldn't that be strong enough?

Everything from episode 10 on is original stuff but we don't know how the manga is going to end, could be in a similar way.

You don't make any sense, that's exactly one of the reasons why you would want to read the manga and the anime has skipped a lot to get to a fitting ending within 12 episodes, so you have missed quite some stuff. Also, the anime couldn't nail Yuuko's look, the manga Yuuko is way more adorable.

Incredible.

Rightly so, Teiichi accepted Shadow Yuuko because she was just another side of person he loves. She can't be complete without the hatred as well as the joy. It was such a relief when she came back to him because seeing them apart was just awful.

Loved the slight twist on the ED. Came as a shock that he was Asa's grandson, but it was so heartwarming to see Yuuko's reaction to that. It looks like something strange is still happening with the bell and I can't wait for the finale next week!

Why does it have to end? I love this show.

At this point I feel they are going to try and suprise us with a sad ending, but honestly to me I think it would be more suprising if they just left it and let Yukko and Teicchi move on with there lives.
I mean Yukko can leave the school now right? She has freed herself from her suffering so I don't see why she won't be able to.

I can still see a possible way for there to be a mostly happy ending and I hope that's the way they go. No chance for a second season, we're moving to closure in either the next episode or a later OVA, and with such a strong story executed well you want to close it off at the right time. I just hope it doesn't end like Anohana--I'll tear up for weeks listing to the OP and ED in my ipod playlists (as I know from experience).
