| I was on the brink of tears during Misaki's speech, reminiscing about their happy and sad times together. Best episode of the series so far. |
 |
| That was some good shit. Glad I kept watching this. |

I mean, if someone from a tiny dorm for trouble-makers was suddenly crying telling her life story at the graduation speech, I'd be like, ugh, awkward, please stop embarrassing yourself right now. I mean who cares about an old dorm of like 5-6 people, half of which are leaving anyway? The building does not make the relationship. I can't possibly take this seriously, and so I cannot stand how ridiculous this episode was. The teachers freaking out, trying to shut them up? Really? Sorata screaming and crying like an idiot over the mic? Why would the whole student body suddenly root for them? Why do they care? As they obviously did not in the slightest before. I do apologize for ranting, but I just don't seem to get it. The scenario presented was "over-the-top" but it is not unrealistic. Though individuals will definitely think it is awkward; the scene presented more than a thousand people in the crowd thus individual reasoning is overwritten by crowd psychology. |
 Doesn't this make you hungry? |
| dafaq did i just watch this is near masterpiece material. HOLYYYYYYYYYY IMPOSSIBRU |

I do apologize for ranting, but I just don't seem to get it. But actually, when a few people in the crowd start shouting, it will usually lead to a domino effect that will eventually lead to the rest going with the flow and getting caught in the excitement aswell. At first it's awkward, but once you are caught in the excitement, your view will change. All it takes is someone to kickstart the audience. I've seen that happen before. It actually works. |
Cranfin said: Suzie Why comment you don't like this genre of anime? That makes no fking sense I don't speak for Suzie but I thought the second half of this series was all really forced and I sort of stopped having an emotional attachment to any character. It's not that I hate this genre but this anime started off entertaining then started nose diving. I went into this episode thinking *sigh* I might as well finish the series. Misaki starts talking about hot pots and swimming during a graduation speech, which isn't out of character, but at this point the show doesn't have me emotionally attached. And then Sorata starts yelling like he usually does and everyone joins in. It's all too ridiculous for me. Other forums have had discussion threads up and this is the sentiment of quite a lot of people. Give us Rita x Ryuu in the last episode and I'll be happy. |
| That was emotional. Sorata had to yell as usual. Now with only one episode left. WHERE IS THE MASHIRO X SORATA KISS SCENE? |
 |
Best part of episode |
 |
| I really enjoyed this series when I picked it up, and tried to keep enjoying it despite its many flaws. But the drama and dialogue felt so contrived in the second half that it can no longer redeem itself in my eyes. |
| really awesome episode cant wait for the next one. |

I do apologize for ranting, but I just don't seem to get it. Someone's got a dick up their ass. Here's reality for you: I would've dropped that teacher if he touched me - criminal charges afterwards - oh well. A more serious answer would be: You as the audience wouldn't know their story or their personality as well as you do as the viewer. You will take the speech at face value. What you are told during the ceremony was a very moving speech by a student who's clearly very passionate about her friends and her dorm. Now, if you still think you wouldn't be able to sympathize with her, then that's another story, and just speaks to me who you are. But for 95% of the population, we love cheering for the 'underdogs' or the people who are trying to 'fight the system', if you will. Therefore, it's not unrealistic to see the whole student body cheering them on. Didn't you hear Ryuunosuke at the end? The speech from beginning to end was more of a calculated setup than a simple spur of the moment rant. Capiche? |
|
| Great episode, this episode felt like the finale. Wouldn't mind if they ended the anime here. Misaki's speech was amazing. I can understand why the audience all stood up for Sakurasou. I would do the same. 5/5 |
 |
| MANY TEARS WERE SHED!!! ;_; Best episode of Sakurasou, HANDS DOWN! This episode was animated beautifully, everything was so perfect. Misaki's speech was so touching and the OST fit so well. Very emotional, really hit me hard. When the OP song came on as Sorata was shouting on the stage it made me so happy. Getting all the students to be against the demolition of Sakurasou, heck yeah! It was very thoughtful of Rita to make those cherry blossom badges/pins. That song at the end was so sweet. :) Also, I loved those Rita X Ryuunosuke scenes. <3 100/5 |
 |
| Damn you for making me shed my manly tears. :'( |
| oh mah goodness, the FEELS! dang you for making me shed these tears!!!! |
 |
| MAAAAAN. totally love this episode. can't stop crying. waaaaa~ 5/5 |
  |
| You don't shed manly tears while watching Sakurasou I'm pretty sure those where girly tears. Needs moar Former Freeloader x Ryuunosuke |
| Nearly teared up, fantastic episode. One more episode left, it's been a great ride. |
| One of the best speeches i have ever heard.Way to go misaki :D |
| Okay it's time to admit that Misaki has completely stolen the show, for me she's one of the best female char of the season. What a touching speech, this ep is the best episode, the highlight of entire series and it will be never forgotten. All the flashbacks fit very well with every words, the character's expression, all were perfect. And I didn't know Misaki could pull out something great like that. Whoever wrote that speech deserves to get praised. Btw, how sweet looking at Ryuunosuke and Rita <3 And all the drama ... special thanks to Okada Mari, she did a perfect job at the series composition role, she just knows how to focus on emotional impacts. (Zetsuen no Tempest is also one of my fav along with Sakurasou, and she is the series composition for both of them) |
| Tear jerker. Whole episode was basically a speech... I guess that's okay though. |
| not that great. the way they're ending this is a little too big for it's pants and you really have to suspend disbelief, more than usual, for this anime to work. i've loved it up until maybe 4 eps ago, when they found out sakurasou was getting shut down. i guess i expected these last episodes to resolve the love triangle. |
| Couldn't squeeze out any tears, but I felt the sheer sadness during Misaki's speech D:, I love Sakurasou's piano music though, just made it that much better. |
 |
| AH! This was so good. It took everything I had not to cry. And I still think I shed a couple tears during the speech.....glorious. *edit* I think if I would have had a couple of beers before watching, I would have cried like a little girl. |
 |
| I'll just say that I shed manly tears. Touching episode. From the speech Misaki gave to when they told Kanda to shutup. Really love this series. Hope they make another season of when Kanda and the others are in their final year of highschool I really don't want the next episode to come T____T |
 |
| Totally did not expect this anime to make me cry (;_; ) |
| Rita & Ryuunosuke gif Nanami and Mashiro singing more gifs and screenshots http://vpzmgrk.minus.com/muWtLxoQ2toE3 |
| Wow, really. That was too amazing, the feels were everywhere! 10/5 (or something), it really deserves it. I didn't want the episode to end T_T (not that I cried, but it's about as close as it gets with me ^^). Sakurasou will not die! and I'm sure many juniors will want to join ^^ |
 |
| Very emotional episode. I probably teared up as much as Nanamin. Gorgeous speech and great shout-outs. |
 |
| Nobody mentioned it so far, but I loved the way Jin was teasing Misaki in the beginning <3 Speech made me teary and it looks like all went according to keikaku - get the public opinion on your side and they cannot demolish sakurasou w/o taking a hit to their reputation |
| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| Touching and very emotional episode, feels like true ending! 10/10 |
UtsukushiiYume said: UGLY SOBBING EVERYWHERE. I have never sobbed for a full seventeen minutes before. This show is too much. This was one of the most well made graduation scenes in anime that I've seen before. It was so. I just. ALL MY TEARS. 5/5 for this episode, the best episode of the series. |
 |
| HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY TEARS FOR MY GRADUATION ON FRIDAY??!! HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!!! GIVE IT BACK!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
 |
| Not a bad episode, but it felt a bit too over dramatic and unrealistic to me. Nonetheless, it at least brought back some good Evangelion memories. 3.5/5, rounding up to 4/5, for this episode. |
| Best ep of the series hands down. Quite tear-jerker. |
| A city's greatness is determined by the speed of its internet connection. |
| I almost cried. It was beautiful! |
 |
| The graduation scene from Azumanga Daioh still makes me cry more, but... I admit I got teary. :( |
 |
| I just had the longest smile in my entire life. |
