Thiis ep was SOOOOOO good-ood-oooooood!!!!!! *cries*

'Twas beautiful. Was happy when Yuuko and Yu saw each other again but then.... ;____;

Very beautiful. I liked how Yuuko looks with her wings. Kuze and Mizuki are great together finally. The English with German and Japanese shows another great variety. Me cried TONS! T_T there same as you all. Ok, this episode has got my full review now. Here we go.

The beginning of the episode was very sad! T_T Remember Yuuko being dead more because her tomb is there with a very beautiful . OMG I just realized Yuuko was 16 when she died! Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuko! T_T Aaaaaaaaah! So young she died. T_T
The message sleep in heaven was very beautiful in the tomb and I am sure Yuuko would like it. The other message about courage to try to live is great to not give up and not commit suicide. Never a solution, always live to the fullest. Very nice sight of seeing Yuu put flowers on the grave of Yuuko, always a good sign of respect.

What a delight to see next Chihiro in Christmas get up! Great fan thing they did, I wanted myself to see her in the anime rather than only in pics! Renji is such a lucky guy! :D The food also look delicious that even now I am looking forward to my own with family people. :D Anyways it was very happy to see Hiro and Miayko together just like in #11. I liked it when Miyako said "Kiowa oha io jana kite Merry Christmas da yo" which means today is not good morning but Merry Christmas! :D Funny scene since Hiro looked beat up. Kei and Kyosuke, another nice couple that I will miss. :( It will be sad to not see them again but I have to say I am very happy for them. I also liked the angel statue on the school grounds, it looked very nice!

Nagi and Yuu, what can be said but great to see that they talk once again in this episode. Yuu drawing again is good to see since I did not see him much draw in the present time. Nagi, I wonder if she still wants to go out with Yuu, although she does ask Yuu to still forget about Yuuko doubt he ever will. Of course Kuze and Mizuki are amazing! So happy that Kuze passed through the operation safely and is with Mizuki. Like Mizuki's red dress! :D Good they are together! Kuze violin and Mizuki's singing--------->excellent!

Pretty cool of Kuze to give back the keys to the roof of the school to Yuu so that he can finish up things. I also want to mention that was nice of Yuu and Kuze to speak to each other in German. I also noticed there was a switch between Australia and Japan as well as mentions of Hiro not being able to forget Yuuko. It was very well shown in this part of Yuuko being connected to the Church in Japan and Australia since she appeared before Kei/Kyosuke and Hiro/Myako.

Oh how lovely the scene of Yuuko going towards Yuu to pick up the flowers he has for her. It was very lovely also to see Yuuko being next to Yuu all cuddly. This is truly a spiritual miracle that her spirit is so real and there.I don't want to brag religion too much but Yuuko may be another Jesus Christ/Virgin Marry. She has all the qualities especially with such a strong spiritual presence. More great things keep coming, what followed was even more emotional. Yuu knew with the keys in hand how Yuuko helped connect so many people into couples and spread love properly and not like that SOB Amamiya sensei had.

What followed was very emotional. I literally exhausted at T_T. So beautiful when Yuu said to Yuuko "Aishiteru Yuuko zuto" AMAZING! Uwaaaaaah i cried so much it looked as if at that time the wold just stopped moving to see my tears. Then Yuuko going up in the sky like an angel and leaving Yuu a white feather was astonishingly beautiful. Have not seen anything like since Haibane Renmei. Yuuko passing through the light and Yuu not being to see her around was T_T but also there was much beauty in it. So sad it turns out like that Is it just my conception but did Yuu's weak eyes tell us he is withering away and perhaps might it be a reason Yuuko cried since she knows he might die soon?

Most likely when Yuuko was gone up in heavens leaving Yuu hand was extremely sad. T_T I wish Yuu more patience to live fullest then join her in heavens, perhaps that is why Yuuko did not want him to kill sensei, since he would not be able to go to heavens since in Christianity killing is one of the worst sins ever! Therefore he would not be able to go to heavens with Yuuko. That scene with Mizuki and Yuu was weird after, why would she hold his hand like a lover when she has Kuze? O_o Was a little strange there.

The rest that follows was nice mainly nice due its meanings and that it was in English.

Guess I should thank MAL for being to share all this on the net.

1.Yuuko x Yuu Forever!
2.Chihiro in Santa outfit. :P

1.

2.


In spoiler
1.What is THAT!? Mizuki is to be with Kuze so she is cheating already?

Yay! Christmas episode :)
Great ending. Plus, new ED (I think?)!

Loved this scene:


Sort of a bittersweet ending for Himura and Yuuko:

For Mizuki and Yuu ---> They don't want us to think of them as lovers, but as child and father. It's like Yuuko and Yuu were Mizuki's parents! And I think that's beautiful! And the think Yuu said about Mizuki's name it was the same as Yuuko! aaaaaawwwwwww Made me cry!!

All your reflections about Yuu and Yuuko are sooooo beautiful!! I totally agree!
I love the "Aishiteru Yuuko" and then Yuuko said: ''Chigaimasu deshou? Aishiteta deshou?"
In english: "I love you, Yuuko"
"It's not like that right? You loved me right?"
*cry* SOOOOOOOOO SAD!!! She just said that she's dead! But even if she dead *cry*, can't he still love her?

I think that if Yuuko was the "Jesus Christ/Virgin Marry" I would be really religious!!
I can't belive this is the end... I would like to have another tale... But this was the sequel and the end...

IMO the scene of Yuu saying he was alrght but clearly lying (blinking) was just amazing

Agree on that thought. They were like parents to her in a time when she had no one... I also think that Yuu and Yuuko are the actual people around this whole series is about, as they are the key (frequently shown) to the couples.

On the moment that Mizuki and Kuze appeared all dressed up in the church, I had something like: WHAT?! They're going to marry? Already? =.= Wew, it was just Kuze playing his violin and a singing Mizuki as a way to prove their respect for Yuuko. Reminds me, Kuze ''thought'' in Japanese, in contrary in one of the previous episodes. The ''Danke'' and ''Gute Reise'' made me smile a bit. [For those who don't speak a word of German: ''Thanks'' and ''Have a good journey''] This season was really nice, but I still rated it an eight.

the 2nd season sucked compare to the 1st season. what im pissed off is that yuuko miraculously comes back n talks to himura n disappear. wtf was that. besides that meh it was decent. i wish himura choose the big booby onee-san.

I think that Yuuko is the key.
&& I tought the same for Kuze and Mizuki.



I think you're totally wrong!
Actually I think the season 1 sucked compared to season 2!
And everything is about the fact Yuuko is like an angel and comes back. Even in season 1, I knew she was extraordinary. I thought of thefact that maybe she's dead

Yes! Yuuko would be a great sister and I would definitely follow her religious around. :)
I hope they could surprise with a OVA and there is the possibility of a 3rd season. The future of these couples can create new children for the future and another Tale may yet be!

Yes Yuu can still love Yuuko as a spirit. Did people stop loving Jesus when he was dead? NO! They still loved him, although Yuu is more on a personal level, God will never stop true love! God will never separate people that truly love them, where there is no I love you cause of your body or money!

Yes, I cried, cried, cried, cried, cried, cried, cried and cried a lot! Very emotional and as good as #11 if not better!

Thanks for the comments about my reviews. I try to do good ones like that when I have the time. However a felt a strong urgency to finish a good review for this last episode as I have yet to have time to do whole anime reviews on MAL. Which to me look like they take a while to do.

i Sort of liked this one better than the first.
Loved the singing/violin @the church.

&i heard the phrase, "Merry Christmas"... so much xD.

I think this was actually the end forever. I guess it was a little because of that thtI cried so much. In the beginning of te game: a latter tale, they say:
"this is the sequel and the end..."
And since there's no other game of ef... I know it's really sad!!!! *cry*
&& Welcome ;D

i dont care what other people say, ef (both of them) will be my favorites for a long time.

the animation was very unique and great to watch. the openings keep on changing, which corresponds to what happens to the actual episode. (i even made a comparison video for all the openings and put it on youtube earlier today).

i just need to know 1 thing, whats the ending song in the episode after ebullient future?
its written in kanji in the credits so i dont know what its called.

edit: nevermind, found the name of the song.
'ever forever'
sung by the japanese cast of ef
just like the opening where ebullient future = ef,
ever forever came from the episode title for ep1 and 12 combined.

Am I the only one who thinks they speak a little fast?

It was good, really, but... "Yuu-kuwatashigazuttoanatawoaishiteimashita"... In the game it was a little slower and more sad... But it was ok. I like it anyway.

I really liked when they meet. I cried when she go away... And when she said that he doesn't love her, he loved. Sad. ._.

And when he blinked! He lied... And she cried... Wow. ._. I loved this anime.

Memories and Melodies are my favorites animes. Gonna miss. >_<

This cour felt rushed.

Best ending EVER!

Yuuko remained as an angel all along to help those she cared for find their own happiness and now that her "mission" is done, she can rest in peace. The ending image of Yuu by himself and then Yuuko in her angel form appeared beside him was simply beautiful. The episode was well titled since she'll always be beside and watching over him and he'll always love her.

Love the final dialogue merged from "monologues" of every character at the end. Many life lessons came from this series. All my tears were worth it. A recommendable masterpiece.

I feel the same way about it. It's so sad.

I also love the final opening song. How Mizuki grabs Yuuko's hand and they run, that Yu breaks free from the nail in his hands,
and that Yuuko got wings in the ending of it.

But personally, I liked season 1 more though.

simply awsome, awwesoomme. an awesome end for a awesome serie with awesome characters><
especially this hole christmas mood today fits perfetly with this episode.
great how they connected everything to each other, or that there are two otowa, those impressive phrases, everything was so stunning.
if one aint sure if anime is art, here is the answer.
now i cant wait for minoris next work EDEN*
but first i have to play the VN of ef.

A great end, a really nice episode, ef is probably gonna stay as one of my favourites for a long, long time.
But somehow, thing is I didn't really tear much when I was watching this... It's either I'm too sleepy when I'm watching it, or I'm just not moved easily these days, cos I haven't been tearing at anime where people said they cried when they watch it... I guess I'll rewatch it after Christmas. :P
And I gotta say, this episode felt rushed, the quality drop was visible, but it was still acceptable nonetheless.

Can't believe it is over ; ;

Holding back your tears and only looking towards the future is too romantic of an idea ; ;

I didn't cry once during this Season though. Unfortunate! Then again, True Tears took my tears a couple seasons ago!

Was good nonetheless.

XD, guess I was the only '4' voter so far.
