WOOT!!!!

So best girl won the Sakurasou. Wonder how those Nanami tears taste right now? Finally we get a anime where the best girl wins the MC. I hope Nanami suffers more lol.

All in all, a great episode. Was waiting on something like this to finally happen. Should have happened alot sooner imo so that Nanami could get out and we see more of the relationship between Shiina and Sorata.

Still not enough to save the anime from being bad, but atleast the ending episodes will be good.

Oh Aoyama, why can't you be honest with yourself?

I would never understand as to why that teacher didn't even bother to look nor stop Shiina from leaving?

I have to be honest, I'm not thrilled where they went with the direction of this show. If they were so dead set on making Mashiro and Sorata a couple they should have done so after episode twelve, not make Mashiro a supporting character for the rest of the show until the three last episodes, and on top of that let Nanamin and Sorata have some really strong, genuine moments while Mashiro spends most of her time in the background. I had already figured out pretty much everything about the direction of this show and where they were going but this was just confusing. But I think what this boils down to for me is the fact that Nanamin is much more likeable than Mashiro, again, for me.

But it's a really nice and memorable show anyway, and it's really cute. Mashiro ain't so bad. Maybe it's the fact that I can relate so much to Nanamin that make me so pissed, I don't know xD

This is probably one of J.C. Staff's best works that they haven't destoryed...so far.

That train scene was sooo amazing. Sorata confessing finally :) It really has been a while since I've enjoyed an anime so much like this.

And finally, we can move on from this conflict, now that it is all revealed and solved. Shiina is finally back.

It's really been a while since I've cried watching this episode, ever since Clannad After Story ep 18, and Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 final episode, and it's, by right, the first anime by J.C Staff that I've been so emotional.

This is, by far, the best episode.

For better or for worse, this episode pretty much marked a concession by Aoyama. I think at this point she knows Sorata likes Mashiro more, but I don't see her giving up yet.

In any case, this was a really cute episode. I still want to see more Rita and Ryuunosuke, but I guess they can't be a point of emphasis here. Next episode should be a setup of sorts for ep. 24, which I expect to resolve Sorata's relationship once and for all.

This sums up my thoughts precisely. Even without reading the light novels or anything, I could easily predict Mashiro was going to win in the end. I'm sure most people were aware of this as well, even those who ended up shipping Nanami and Sorata. So it doesn't really make sense that they would shove Mashiro onto the sidelines for essentially the entire second half of the show. Instead, they decided to focus on developing Nanami and Sorata's relationship, even though it was obvious nothing would come out of it. Even though Mashiro didn't really talk much before, they essentially reduced her screen time to that of a supporting character after the pivotal Christmas episode. So when she finally became the focus of the show again in this episode, I honestly couldn't bring myself to feel affected by confession and the fact that she suddenly began showing emotions (again). When I don't really see a character for ~10 episodes, I just start not really caring about them. :/

However, the painting scene was well done and I commend them for actually managing to move me without having to resort to melodrama.

It seems like Sorata choose Mashiro because of one incident happen to her and i always thinking if Aoyama also have one incident involve her and make her to leave Sakurasou because of that... i bet Sorata also confess to her too.
I don't have problem for both Mashiro and Aoyama but whenever i look Sorata and Mashiro it seems like more to big brother and little sister relationship then couple relationship anyway.

Finally all the wa wa waaaaaaaa is over.

Aoyama should have just given up as soon as she saw Mashiro.
Doesn't she know blonde anime girls almost always win over the guy?

Speaking of blondes...if there's anything interesting in this series it's definitely Rita and Ryuunosuke's 'relationship'. They should have been the main characters instead.

Well played at the train station. I thought Shina was on her way out for a second there. A little disappointed in Aoyama's semi-confession but then again, it was never meant to be. Always great seeing Rita again. So much warmth in this episode towards the end, loved it.

Nanami loved him so much, instead of confessing she sacrificed her own feelings so Sorata might be happy as she understood his heart already belonged to somebody else.

Nanami and Sorata have both made their choices. I guess our long uphill fight ends here. o7 #TeamNanami

Still, gotta love all the other non Sorata-related pairings. Rita x Ryuunosuke still going good. Even motokaichou x hauhau was a bit cute. Also those conflict resolutions. Oh-so-satisfying as always.

screw mashiro she did nothing good and is set for life anyways, any real man would realize aoyama needs support in such a dire time!

(not saying she's not a strong girl, but come on man, that's just heartless if you choose mashiro...)

This was easily the best episode since the 12th. They finally managed to handle the drama well, and I even liked Aoyama's scene a good amount, even though her constant attempts to confess are extremely tedious. I'm still a bit weary about the conclusion though, since they have yet to conclude the 6th novel.

That's ridiculous. So he should choose Aoyama out of pity rather than the person he actually loves. She probably knew that Sorata was in love with Mashiro since the 12th episode anyways, so it shouldn't be that big of a heart-breaker.


I liked Aoyama more but touche.
Me tooo! Aoyama is the best girl in this series, how could a girl like mashiro beat her!! is sorata blind or whatt??
I love anime, life is soooo wonderful there! life there is just too wonderful, too happy.. they got friend, love, power, adventure, etc... in real life, wake up, school, sport, go home, eat, play video games, watch anime, sleep.. every day was always the same.... i wish i can get out of this boredom as soon as possible

this!!! true love is to sacrifice your own feelings to your loved one.. Even she doesn't win, Aoyama is definitely the best girl in this series

The moment a girl gives up her love for another girl was greatly put in picture here, I do feel rather sad for Nanami but it did seem that Mashiro is the better choice here. The painting she made and then the search for Mashiro was rather nice, I do also love the relation they brought together with Rita x Ryuunosuke! I liked this episode quite a lot, lets see what's next!

Beautiful episode. Mashiro showed so many emotions :)
I wanna experience the Mashiro-power-hug, that was adorable :3

Finally Sorata confessed and OF COURSE MASHIRO DIDN'T HEAR IT BECAUSE OF THE FUCKING TRAIN!!! Fuck. That. ;_;
Still, she knows that Sorata likes her a lot, so it's all good and we still have 2 episodes left.
A bit sad for Nanami, but it was expectable :/ She is strong for being able to let go of Sorata.

I guess they are gonna stop Sakurasou from being destroyed, the president guy will probably speak for the cause and Mashiro's painting will be probably shown as well.

I liked the moment when Mashiro disappeared from behind the train, even though it was expectable that she went around. It gave the scene a little suspense.

I also enjoyed the little scene with the former school persident guy and his girlfriend, that was cute as well :)

DAT PAINTING. It was wonderful :D

So ... She has confessed her love to him, he has confessed his love to her, but I am going to bet that this has an open ending ... Honestly if it does they probably should have just removed the romance from it, since putting an open ending in a romance is inexcusable imo ...

God , i almost hate Aoyama now , why the fuck didnt she let them hug and kiss or soomething . She just had to butt in and hug Mashiro herself . I swear to God this will probably have an open ending , if that's true this will be annoying . Why Aoyama , why? He finally confessed but you had to butt in , maybe Mashiro would've confessed too.

Episode that I am not satisfied in full, perhaps because of the predictable plot or because I am finished with all the previous episode! XD
The fact is that I'm a little pissed! Drawing from customary fails to maintain a decent level for the duration of the narrative. Ugh! Starring all fabulous, han a great characterization!
Narration more than good!

I hope the series finale is exciting!

Nanami... I have difficulty to accept it, but I understand why she did it. To choose to put away your feeling to make happy the one you love, that's true kindness. And then she go reconforting Mashiro, goddamnit Nanami, your pushing yourself too hard. I would have loved that she confess, even if it was pointless. She knew their love wasn't reciprocate.

Now, about Jin ''love letter''. I guess it's a love letter for Sakurasou. He gave it to the president so he could say it during the ceremony. It will be his last testament to Sakurasou, an ode to their familly.

Mashiro seiyu is just too good. To change the tone and the emotion in your voice like that... :3
Still, my ship sink again. Goddamnit, I always fall for the wrong girl.

That confession was cute and true to his personnality. He's an explosive man that let out his emotion easily. Still, he's really reserved in the love domain.

Now the 100$ question : will Sakurasou be destroyed or not? It's their last test.

Oh no need to hide Ryuunosuke, you love Rita-chan deep down. Speaking of Ryuunosuke, damn he has no stamina at the end where he was barely keeping up with the group as they ran to the graduation ceremony.

Yea and in the end, we all knew Nanami was going to play the supportive "good" character and be okay with losing her beloved. Seems a little forced as usual with the timing. Nanami walks in EXACTLY when Sorata says "I love you" felt a little out of place because they have been doing these kind of situations quite a bit.

However, that Rita + Akasaka was quite lovely, I found myself rooting for that pair lol

Man, I am just so sad for Nanami. She's an awesome character yet nothing good happens for her. I mean she worked so hard for 2 years, barely having any free time, for the dream she had and it all went to waste, honestly... As if that weren't enough the guy she loves doesn't see her that way and she even sees him confessing to another girl, meh. I hate it when cool characters like her get nothing :/

Anyways, Rita in Japan again! Go and do her already, Ryuunosuke!

Also, what happenned to Sorata's confession. Mashiro didn't hear it over the train or something?
