That was nice... When Yukari and Yuu were shouting at Amu it was hilarious. And Yuu in the morning... awww that was cute xD

And now is the right time to welcome second season xD Somehow I'm not surprised that this anime will be longer than 51 eps.

Well, the main thing about the series IS the embryo, not Amu/Ikuto/Tadase/wtv, although most of the people think that what's important is Amu's love interest, so you shouldn't be surprised to see that the embryo will still be the main theme..

About the episode... I watched it raw *skipping about 75% of the episode cause it wasn't important* and thought it was really bad for a season finale, but watching this whole episode with the subs... It still doesn't seem like the end of a season *they should really have ended this with Amu vs. Utau* but it's better than the normal Shugo Chara episodes, so =)
I just think Ikuto is so stupid ¬¬ Giving up the embryo for Amu >.< I love Amu, but the embryo meant freedom for him.. Amu shouldn't be more important than that =/
Final score 7/10 - blame the fillers ¬¬

There wasn't anything particularly epic to this episode, I found the fight between Utau was even better, but it was still enjoyable. It also seemed like they tried a little too hard to make everyone happy with the combination of Amu and Ikuto and Amu with Tadase. I wanted some sort of closure to which one she wanted more, even though she Will choose Ikuto :) At least we got to see Ikuto do his little smirk (so hot) and lots of scenes with him acting so aloof, I'm going to stop myself there before I started going all fangirl like for Ikuto! X)
I give the series a 9/10, I know that's obsessively lame and there really is a lot of things to hate in this series, but in the end....it really brightens my day, filler or not! I hope the subs for Doki come a little faster than the first season, but so far, it seems quite the opposite. I at least hope chibi-subs will continue anyway.

YES someone besides me thinks he is awesome! and you have tsuyukusa faved too! you are awesome

I bumped it back up to a 9 after this episode because i thought the Crush Triangle saving amu was cute. might take it back down to an 8 depending on how doki is though.

Actually in shoujo animes the main thing is usually less important than the relationship between characters. Anyway the episode was only a little of amuto, random appearance of the embryo and indirect love confession from Tadase that nobody except Ikuto seemed to understand.

I guess this episode was ok for a final...?
We got to see all the characters and their transformations again (except for Utau which we saw for like 1 sec), we learned alittle bit about the Genzo person, and there was moooooar Ikuto, fufu.
Still in need of more plot, but yeah. I love Shugo Chara anyway so I won't complain :)

Hopefully Doki won't be so fillerful.

Pretty good... seemed more like a segway into the new season, not a finale, but it's not as if that matters much to me.

I watched the part where Ikuto cradled Amu's head as they fell about five times<3.

Actually I loved this episode...

I mean, there was Kukai, Kukai charanari, Kukai epicness, LOTS of Ikuto, Ikuto epicness, IkutoxAmu moment, Guardian five! (Which made me rofl. Oh Kukai, why are you so awesome.) I mean, plot development is nice, but the main reason I love this show is because of the characters, the artstyle, the cuteness, and the overflowing fangirl material! ^^)

My wishes for season two:

- More AmuxIkuto development
- Amu rejecting Tadase. *evil grin*
- More Kukai-appearances
- More Utau-appearances
- Nagihiko-comeback
- Megane-kun-comeback
- YuuxYukari
- More Utau charanari. >.<

Overall 7/10
Anti-climatic ending, but better than average ep. This really should have ended after the Amu vs Utau fight.
It would have been better at only 26 or even 39 eps. Without all the fillers it could have gotten a 8/10.
I'll watch doki but will probably skim through most of the fillers.

Btw, why did Amu think the 'usual place' was the amusement park? That didn't really make sense to me. I think it should have been the place she met him on multiple occasions, where he played the violin, but maybe that's just me?

This last episode of the first season was the best of all episodes I've ever seen at this anime! Amu-chan and Ikuto-kun couldn't take the embryo, but I liked the way how Ikuto tried to protect Amu when they were fell into the grown.

Now let's how is going to be the second season.
Amu-chan, Cool and Spicy! :)

Can't go one episode without Amu taking aim with that negatively open heart of hers, huh? Surprisingly it didn't really bother me, and I liked the little tune that went along with it. So close to the embryo (assuming it really is anyway), something tells me that it'll only hatch/activate for someone who is truly ready for their wish to be fulfilled. I also wonder if the Humpty Lock/Dumpty Key are connected to it as well. Loved those last Ikuto/Amu moments, this season ended nicely and I look forward to watching Doki in the near future albeit at a slower pace.

I never imagined I would get so addicted to this, especially considering how episodic/fillerish it ended up feeling at times. Although I definitely preferred when it was focused on the main overlying plot, I still enjoyed those character building episodes and X of the week format scenarios.

Cute. This show was so insanely adorable. It was like a sugar rush for the eyes every twist and turn. The guardian charas had me roaring at their various antics, such as Kiseki's adventurous ambitions, KusuKusu being the clown that she is, and Su was just...wow, cuuuute. I really enjoyed most of the cast, particularly Kukai and how cool and easy going he was. Amu is definitely favorite character material, I love how quirky and diverse her personality was. I can see why so many of the male chars fell for her, I was crushing on her a bit myself. Cool and spicy!

Anime just continues to surprise me. I don't pass up anything based on its demographic, but I really didn't expect to find shows aimed at little girls to be so much fun. It was (mostly) wholesome and just kept putting a smile on my face and melting my heart. It had simple but relatable themes about confidence, determination, and trying to figure out who you truly are. Even in my 20s, I still struggle with many of the thoughts Amu dealt with. I really like how it emphasized how someone doesn't need to know who they are to enjoy the journey of life. As Kukai put it, it's more fun to not know exactly who you want to be and lets you be whoever you want on the way.

Definitely going to be picking up Doki soon, but I really want to savor this show so no rush.

9/10, i-it's not like it was all bad or anything like that (obstinate character).

Ooog I shouldn't have stayed up until 3:30 watching this =_= I kept having to rewind because I would fall asleep.

Not a bad finale. I realize that Doki is supposed to be direct sequel but unfortunately I feel like this season lacked closure. Everything seems to be left so open: Amu's romance life, the mystery of the embryo, etc.

But some thoughts on the episode: the boss is really creepy, the shugo charas yelling at Amu for leaving the humpty lock at school was funny, and it felt kinda small for a finale.


Also did anyone else notice that the Embryons, when combined together, formed a swastika for a second there...? I was kinda surprised by that.

Overall, I real loved Shugo Chara! I waited so long to actually start watching this and I really liked it a lot more than I expected to! And this is super surprising because it had so much filler in it (although for the most part it was really only the filler episodes after 43 that bugged me because I wanted the show to stick with story!). Super happy I watched it. 9-10/10 because I loved this series so much. I should start Doki soon!
