The last episode was very rushed. If they could make it 13, it would have been a little better.
I am also curious about those 8 years, but I suppose we gotta read the manga.

Anyway, 8/10. One of my top shows of the season.

Richie boy spends the first part of the episode sulking over his boyfriend which completely undos all of the development he had this far. The second part shows how everyone has fufullied Thier dreams which is nice. The reunion with Sentarou and the church Jazz session was the highlight of the episode really awesome.

This slope had its ups and downs but finished with a strong finale. Overall 8/10

Great anime and didn't even expect ending like that. I was thinking about Sentaro ending in hospital since Nishimi was a doctor.

just stop posting...

gotta say the best anime so far for this season!

A good ending, but the other noitaminA show Tsuritama is the much better series of the two. This show was rushed, let's be honest and the awesome soundtrack was their way of saying "Hey, don't notice the plot it rushed. Instead have some awesome Yoko Kanno music!". The timeskip was kinda sudden but I liked it and that ending was pretty open to interpretation. Still, this was a series that had supreme levels of amazing music and the main cast is developed alright but everything else was clearly rushed (Jun/Yurika stuff especially). Tsuritama>Sakamichi by far.

8.5/10 is my final score

Easily 9/10 for me. But I have to admit I'm very angry about that choice of ending.
First thing I dont get is why they were implementing the ED in this episode... cut the ED for a few seconds and give me a kiss shot of Ritsuko and Kaoru >.>

No srsly, is there enough plot fin the manga for a second season?
At least give us an OVA.

Beautifully done! With the final ten or so minutes having been particularly well-*played*. I'm definitely going to miss watching this one.

It's over loved every single episode, the ending was so so but who Kaoru was really in love with?

Why I can't rate with an 11/10? ;w;

They made Kaoru act like a stupid and immature little boy again just to make him break up with Ritsuko. And I guess the things that happened during the 8 years were important, because it just felt wrong. It's like time froze and there were no developments for the characters, with the exception of their jobs.

I liked how they didn't make things slow, but this time things were too rushed. But the end was good.

This series was good. Awesome soundtrack and visual quality, good characters and a good pace (except for this last episode). It's slice of life, so there really isn't much of a plot, but overall the story was good.

i want 1 OVA

excellent final of a great anime

9/10

I feel you man, im so happy it ended on a good note

Beautiful. :'D

Now I have to read the manga because someone said they skipped the 8 years. >_<

After looking into the manga I think there will be even no OVA. With the Ritsuko moment at the very last moment in this episode they destroyed imo a possible chance to fit the manga ending.
They should have deleted the complete "8 years later"-part and bring a OVA announcement instead.

Argh I dont like this ending...

It felt very rushed, but the ending made me feel so happy that I can forgive it to some extent.

Wonderful show with great directing. The only thing it did suffer from was it high pace, as things could change around quickly in the same episode, leaving little sense of attachment. Otherwise great.

Good ending, and I'm glad they ended it with another performance of Moanin'. To partake in the puns, I felt the show rolled downhill since the first few episodes, but the slope wasn't steep enough to be overly concerned. I didn't much like the direction the show took with the drama near the middle of the series, but overall it still did well.

Heh, he enjoyed to be with kids so he become poor priest :D
3 guys met again after 8 years :')

I think Sakamichi was little short to my taste, not that I don't like it but I wanted see more.
Maybe some OVAs or something coming?

One of the best Drama+Romance anime I've seen for while.

5/5

The ending was wonderful. I agree there was some unnecessary drama, but it was a good show nonetheless.

I haven't read the manga so the 8 year difference was quite a big gap, but the episode was still done really well.

This is probably one of the nicest endings I've seen -- when the opening started playing it just made me really happy and ahhh.
