| Yeaaaaap good pacing, everything's in the right dose. |
- I've always... always been watching you... This whole time... Because you were there... That's why I was able to try hard. So you could have some balance! So you wouldn't treat me like a kid! So you would see me as an actual girl! Even while you were gone... You were right here! You were right here in my heart! |
| Omg, awesome ending for an awesome series <3 Will miss so much this characters :'( 09/10! |
| It would have been better if we saw Aika's nude body lol! Good series but I prefer the first arc though. |
 |
| Awww no kiss... ok then... :( They had to tease us about it to the very end! Kinda like Aika-chan! Great series though!And it's rare to see a proper ending that doesn't leave things just hanging. I'll give it an 8 or a 9. |
| I hate the word “fate.” Birth, encounters, partings, success and failures, fortune and misfortunes in life. If our lives are already set in stone by fate, then why are we even born? There are those born to wealthy families, those born to beautiful mothers, and those born into the middle of war or poverty. If that’s all caused by fate, then God is incredibly unfair and cruel. Because, ever since that day, none of us had a future and the only certain thing was that we wouldn’t amount to anything. - Takakura Shouma |
| I marathoned the shit out of this anime holy crap what an amazing series 9/10. |
| I LOVE THIS ANIME!! It is by far one of the best animes ive watched ever! Really like how the ending isnt rushed and how the whole story actually went. The drama here and there, the romance between the 4 is simply moving. Together with the action and plot moving forward. Really an awesome anime! I love how it ended with the anime leaving the viewers with a slight hint of sadness with Aika's death yet at the same time happiness with Hakane, Yoshino and Mahiro's ending. All in all i'd give this anime a 10/10!! Although... It would be sooo much better if they'd at least showed a kiss scene between Yoshino and Hakane at the end ;D |
If anime characters were real, i'd probably be the happiest person alive! Or just dead.... ^_^ |
| This was a great anime! Considering the plot I think the title of this anime should have been "My Sister's Boyfriend" or "Tree Wars" LOL. I like how they divided the first part with action/adventure and the second part with romance/drama. The recap episode was irrelevant. Overall great show! 8/10 |
| Was definitely a great show, i'm a bit surprised i overlooked this show for so long, oh well, i was a bit worried about this show going off of "logic"...especially when it came to the middle of the series, i had flash blacks to the last show i watched focusing in on "logic", Umineko no Naku Koro ni, and man was i hoping this wouldn't end up turning out like that disastrous show. Luckily it wasn't anything like it, and so far, has become my third favorite anime i've watched this year so far. 9/10 |

| Like a few others on top ^, I prefer the first half much more, everything was pretty good there. Anyway chill ending, Mahiro continues to be my favourite character, following up with Hanemura. Until the very end, I never cared much for Hakaze's crush for Yoshino, and all those Shakespeare references. Hanemura was pretty fucking badass when he pulled out that huge ass sword of Exodus or w/e to defeat the tree, although random and out of nowhere. |

| 9/10. Really, REALLY good stuff. |
 |
| I liked first part of the series quite a bit, but second was a disaster. After 11th episode it was hard for me to belive, that im watching the same show. Anyway, last episode was good conclusion to the story and i liked it much better than most of earlier episodes. |
| harem and ecchi are a cancer to whole planet bad english user |
| You guys know what could be more troll, - If Aika is such a powerful mage, she could just fake her death, considering how smart she is and how she is such a troller - If Hakaze can come from future to the past, its not possible that Aika had gone to the future, thats why she looks calm when Hakaze tell her that she was going to die, or she probably seen the future if SHE HAD LIVED, but again this would bring again to my point no 1. - and one day Hakaze end up dating Yoshino and they go on a date, imagine Aika passing them by like a boss hahah that would be epic kehkehkeh |

| 6/10 I'm really disappointed. the ep 12 was the best, after that it was a disaster. Im stupid to compare it to Death Note bcuz of that ep. Action/fantasy/psychological turn to Romance dafuq and im sick of Aika's backstory. |
| I really liked this anime. Good mix of action/drama/romance. |

| Hm oh man, I'm so conflicted. I totally would ship Yoshino with Mahiro because of bromance. But I also like Yoshino being with Hakaze. . . God dammit. Anyway! It was quite a good ending, I'm glad Yoshino didn't die still and it didn't end in some kind of tragedy. The ending got me sulky abit! |
| Lol Aika that troll Yoshino x Hakaze was kinda meh but I guess any other ending would not fit with that Aika drama going on for 24 episodes. The plot of the show was stupid as hell with some interesting twists. First half was pretty boring, but the second half made up for it. I didn't like the Hamlet quotes spamming. Characters were cool. Didn't like the OST. 7/10 Good overall Fu people. You made me search for manga ending spoilers and now I can't throw it out of my head :/ I like the anime ending much more |

| Wow! What an enjoyable ride. The ending was very pleasant and made me feel happy and fulfilled. Everyone's stories came to a happy conclusion just like "The Tempest" that it had no trouble at all quoting. Mahiro's character development was a pleasant surprise, albeit a little cheesy. Although, the second half took on more of a light-hearted role, and thus could not be anywhere near the tension and unpredictability of the first half, it was still great. All in all, a good and successful mix of sci-fi, romance, Shakespeare, and even a bit of time travel and conspiracy. 9/10 |
 |
| Wonderful ending of this great series! I wasn't sure what to expect from this but I really enjoyed marathoning this series as well, it had really lovely character and story development with even some nice romance put into the story so all in all a great anime and a solid 9/10 for me! |
 |
| I'm still frustrated in the Yoshino X Hakaze pairing. In the end they didn't grew on me. They gave hint about a girl for Mahiro but I think he deserves more than that because you know he's jsut the BEST character in show. Remind me why did Hakaze fell for Yoshino again? when she encountered Mahiro first? I shipped those two because of that and goddammit the synopsis also gave me that idea but... I guess it really is hard to just switch sides.. I still like Mahiro more than anyone in this show. I'm not satisfied and I'm annoyed by the pairing. Anyway I didn't watch this for the romance (there was no romance tag either ffs!) I just heard that the leads were badass so I gave this a try but it's kinda my fault for not expecting romance when the leads are all bunch of horny teenage brats. I've seen a shit-ton of anime to not have expected that. Also the plot was very interesting but it's very predictable too (I predicted that Aika committed suicide around the first couple of episodes and when the name: mage of exodus came up I also predicted that is was her.. predictable twists are never good at least for me) because they gave too much hints. I swear if I watched this weekly when it was airing I could've predicted that it will end this way. One more thing: lack of action. The action was great in this one but the interesting but predictable plot overwhelmed it. We've had nothing but talking and Hakaze fawning on Yoshino on the second half except the last 2 episodes. PS: thank God they didn't show Yoshino and Hakaze kiss at the end because I will give this a 5 for just that... arrghh! fucking frustrating, 6/10 |

Hakaze's personality suddenly just change, a strong minded girl turned to a laughable in love teenager. This anime peaked at episode 12, solid 7-8/10 but the 2nd half dragged it down to 5. |
| One of the very few anime I can unhesintangly give a 10/10. There is really nothing I would change about it. Just wow. |
| I really hate that Mahiro got so much focus in the second half...to me he represents to most retarded and annoying type of character in anime. And Aikas last words to Yoshino were "Thank you" ..lol Makes me wonder.. |

| really rare now to find anime like this.. best ending ever anime with Shakespeare's reference is something. |
| your waifu = shit |
| Would have been even better if we could have seen Hakaze jumping in Yoshino's arms and hugging each other ♥ Overall a nice series. I'm glad someone recommended it to me. EDIT: I'm torn between giving it a 9/10 or 10/10, since I barely distribute 9's and even less 10's. Would have been a 10/10 if Hakaze x Yoshino wasn't an unrequited love in the end... T_T |

T_T Not really unrequited love, I feel the anime ending shows mutual feelings. Though people constantly say that Hakaze was rejected over and over again in the manga. The special chapter 6 (final) has a scene of both of them holding hands. Link for anyone interested: http://raw.senmanga.com/Zetsuen_no_Tempest/SPECIAL_06/37 Either way, nothing is shown to explicitly and there is still a sense of ambiguity, but, those last panels pretty much sum up what their relationship will be. |
| Proud of Hanemura the action part was so cool lol He got his girl in the end lmao Their reactions when aika pretended that she was gonna show her body LOLOLOLOLOLOL |
 |
| This is a great episode. :D Dat action and battle scene. This is a good series overall. I wish they didn't cut off the scene wherein Yoshino and Hakaze kiss together. I'm satisfied with the ending. And I ended watching this series before New Year's Day. (And I started watching this anime a long time ago. I guess I'd been very busy with my life that's why I was being inactive for watching anime) |
 |
| An enjoyable series overall, but not that spectacular for me at least. Only the middle portion of it was really awesome to me (the "battle of wits" part with Yoshino, Mahiro and Samon + some more episodes). Pretty good characters. The action I didn't really care about for the most part, though it definitely had some cool moments anyway. Satisfying ending... nothing too surprising. Loved some of the music. Hm... yea, it was a good anime. Giving it a 7 for now. 7 = good, keep that in mind. I almost want to give it an 8 for the parts that actually were really really good. |
| Really good up until Hakaze came to the future, then it lost steam for me. |
| I enjoyed it. Love the whole William Shakespeare quotations the characters did during the series. Yoshino and Aika were great characters. I'm happy that Yoshino had a happy ending. Hakaze isn't Aika, but I still like her anyways. All in all, this series was a good watch. No regrets. |

Dretax said: I quite enjoyed it, though as you mentioned, missed the kiss.An anime which doesn't end with a tragedy. Though missed the kiss. |
| The anime was good, great character development, great personalities, nice plot, nice action, everything was really good from start to end, the only thing I disliked was the fact that Aika was wayyy too perfect and no proper closure. (As in Hakaze x Yoshino) |

| 09/10 |
| Thank god Yoshino only got shot in the arm. It was strange to see the Tree of Exodus turn into a giant sword but then again, it was originally a tool meant to destroy the Tree of Genesis so it makes sense I guess. I'm glad they didn't drag out the battle though so we got to see the aftermath for some closure. Aika's video was hilarious and the faces the boys made hearing that was the icing on the cake. I'm glad that Mahiro and Yoshino have finally moved on. Mahiro goes on a date with the girl he saved and Yoshino meets up with Hakaze. But they really cut the episode there! They were so gonna kiss! MY SHIP!!!! But while it's not confirmed in the anime, apparently the manga's bonus chapters has a budding romance growing between the two. Yoshino X Hakaze is real! _________ The first half of the show felt so dramatic like an actual play and I also liked how everything seemed to be weaved together, the mystery and everything. The classical music really set the mood for the scenes. The 2nd half definitely was different from the first half in atmosphere but I loved it nonetheless. I loved everything about this show. 10/10 |
| Awww i actually really loved the ending! Their expressions were really beautiful :) |
| I liked the ending, and the recording left behind by Aika made me like her a bit more because of her level of troll. YoshinoxHakaze :)) I'm gonna miss this. 7/10 |
 |
| I really liked this show! The romance/drama and the action was more the amazing! really enjoyed it~ haven't felt this vibe in a while.. 10/10 - will re-watch it sometime in the future! |

Didn't like the OST. 7/10 Good overall I agree that Yoshino x Hakaze is meh. But I'm completely opposite on your other points. I think the first half is awesome, I love the dialogue about how logic can be turned on it's head and sometimes is completely irrelevant, in reality people seize onto their own form of "logic", but in truth are controlled by emotions (i.e. bringing up the girlfriend to shift the tide). But the second half made major mistakes! What really IRKS me is the Hanamura storyline. WHY THE HELL IS HE THERE?! Except to add some superhero wannabe costume and add un-necessary scenes. Anything would have been better than Hanamura! if they made Yoshino find out he has a split personality and is in reality the Exodus Mage, that would of been better. They never really explained the "heart of the Exodus Mage" concept so it was completely pointless except as diversion from suspecting Aika. They could of made it turn out that he was secretly the Exodus Mage and didn't know it, and it could of been because Aika passed it on to him or something. Hanamura was a pointless addition, we don't even see his storyline or his girlfriend's face. It should of been a 15 or 16 episode series, didn't need another full cour. And episode 21's ending would of been perfect for the series as a whole (episode 21 should have been the final episode with all of hanamura cut out so making it about 16 episodes). I think it would be been better if it ended there after Yoshino runs past Hakaze when she is back in time (ep21). It sort of creates a time loop similar to where you could start rewatching after it and it would mesh smoothly. Or alternatively, if you want a "happy ending" instead of the "tragedy" of ending it at ep21, and to do that you need to fight the Tree of Genesis/battle arc, then it should of been with Yoshino as the Exodus mage, possibly dying after defeating it and then meeting Aika or something, after all didn't she say? Fuwa said: Everything happens for a reason. The daily tragedies and misfortunes are all meaningful events, leading toward an ideal conclusion. That should of been him dying in order to meet his "ideal" (her) in the conclusion... not "moving on" and finding a new lover. That's not very romantic IMO. And negates much of the value of the anime, especially rewatch value. Whatever happened to the "40,000 brothers could not with all their quantity of love, make up my sum"? Apparently a look or two at Hakaze can make up that sum.... P.S. I just realized something. Did you REALLY say you didn't like the OST?! Maybe you are trolling.... Granted, I like orchestral music more than most but it's probably the best OST I've heard in long time because it adds so much to the story (perhaps more than the story deserves). I think the OST is perfect, it just goes to waste because they didn't take advantage of a more tragic ending and the possibilities for the OST to move people more than a half-hearted happy ending. 9/10 overall (10/10 if it ended at episode 21 and/or cut-out Hanemura) |
