So she goes where he goes rather then having to say on the school grounds. This is how I interpreted it as well. Instead of haunting the school, she now haunts him. And now they can live happily together until Teiichi dies of old age and go to Heaven together :)  GET DROPBOX HERE! Bonus space for you and me with this link!

What if, like Yukariko, Asa is still alive? |

ricardocsc said: They really should gone with the sad final. Way better! Yeah, the sad ending would be more realistic. At least Teiichi could start a real family in the future. However, the happy ending was also good. Just like what 'linchpin' mentioned: they can go to heaven together. They both wont have any heavy regrets of leaving one behind. I guess I have mixed feelings for the ending. All I know is, I hope there's a season 2 since she's back and all that. lol  |

From the very start it felt extremely obvious and cliche if she would disappear. But this anime approached it in a good way and then ofc, the moment when she disappeared. But then she unexpectedly(for me) came back. Though it was good. Some may think that my reasoning is retarded.. But it feel good for me. I guess that's what's important. :3 |

Valkyrie-Ryu said: I wouldn't change a thing actually. Though it's tempting to assume that it's a cliche ending for her to come back, I think it actually fits with the story.. it was about love, and well, how could they forget about each other so easily? That love had healed Yuuko and made her accept her past, and it was continuing to grow. If she had disappeared it would have been an awkward closure to their relationship because their relationship was going very well so really there was no reason to end it. Hence Yuuko came back. tl;dr Her coming back highlighed the theme of "power of love" I agree. I absolutely loved this ending. |

Trav644 said: 1st choice for me "Im someone who hates sad endings, they get me down and l just cant help but feel bad for the people on the receiving end. BUT WHAT DO I HATE EVEN MORE? ENDINGS THAT MAKE ABSOLUTELY NO FUCKING SENSE! The sad ending atleast was good, and ended the show without some giant cliffhangers or making people wonder just how in the hell its gonna work out. Even though it was sad, it was needed. She had to be gone, shes a ghost with nothing. What, is she just gonna haunt that place for the rest of eternity just cuz? Even worse is how she came back. This isnt mentioning how Niiya plays out in all this also. I mean whats he gonna do for the rest of his life? live the life of a hobo in the old building to stay with her? what he gonna do when hes a grown man and she still looks the same, whats he gonna do when his parents ask about all this, im sure their gonna want grandchildren sooner or later, same goes for Niiya? Oh also, wtf is he gonna do when he gets thrown in the Effin loony bin? people already think theres something wrong with him, seeing how he talks to himself in public 24/7." to lazy to type out something new, its what i put in the episode 12 thread there... thats the spot. :D |

Shit, I've even cried when she disappeared(and I'm male so I'm not usually cry :)). She's disappeared for me and this is mine canonic ending, since what author made in the end is unbelievable bullshit that was introduced for fanservice. I felt I'll give anime 10/10, but that bullshit ending made me change my mind and it was 9/10. They really should made an OVA and call it something like 'Yuuko return' so people who wanted positive ending just watched this and felt good. That way people who wanted negative ending doesn't felt like they've just ended another Mass Effect 3. P.S. This is my first post on forums, i just felt that I needed to share with someone how I feel about that. |

Vesanus, Valkyrie-Ryu Nope, positive ending was there just because there would be 2nd season. They couldn't cut the ties just because of that. Maybe what they want is actually create another Bakemonogatari? I hope no. |

Ok, so i need to vent. This anime was the ONLY one to ever make me cry. And not just sobbing either, i fully broke down into tears and cried at multiple points during the story. The ending turning out happy, was amazing. In my eyes, it was done flawlessly. |

Perfect ending. I also like the idea of her haunting him now, so she won't be stuck on the school grounds. |

I hated the ending. She had to disappear. As she said, ghosts aren't supposed to be in the world of the living. She reunited with her other side and accepted the fact she ended up being a sacrifice. Now, there's nothing to hold her back. Loving Teiichi isn't a reason to come back. So all other people who died and moved on didn't love anyone? Poor guy... Even if he stops loving her, he will be hauted for the rest of his life...  |

I've chosen the 4th one. I think that ending was good enough and just be haunted by the person you love. |
