| ahaha, the best part was when Shino started telling a story until the end while the other students also listen to her :D |
| It's been fun. |
 |
| That was quite possibly the most amazing ending to any anime I have ever seen. It's been a while, but I think I'm already feeling the void again knowing that this long ride is over. I'll always be hoping for a season 2. |

Takuan_Soho said: I echo the praise this episode received, but I think there is an angle that many people haven't noticed that makes this ending even better than it first appears. This show has always had an unspoken melancholy to it: Alice is going to have to go home sooner or later. She is going to be parted from all her friends. While never specifically mentioning it, this reality has always been lurking around on the edges during this season, providing the dark cast that prevented this show from being too cute, and this episode dealt with that impending reality so brilliantly and in a very deliberate way. You can see this in all the allusions and specific references to the distance between the UK and Japan Alice and Shinobu made about being separated by the wall. This impacted Alice more because even though Shinobu will be sad when Alice leaves, she will at least have her other friends, while Alice will have to return home alone. The Pirate scene is an indication of what their future holds in store for them, Shinobu will still be with Karen and will only be able to write Alice, but in the end their hearts will always be together no matter what happens. This was also highlighted at the very end, with the reference to the original letter which brought them together. The pirate song, in addition to explaining their current situation, also gives a hint of what Shinobu is going to end up doing. Throughout the show she has played the ditz, likeable but we are all too aware that she will never be an interpreter. However in this episode not only does she craft the story, but the entire school was, and probably for the first time, impressed, even mesmerized by Shinobu's ability to use words. That I believe is a clue, we now know that Shinobu will be able to leave Japan and fulfill her dreams of living abroad, not as an interpreter, but as a writer. This is why I think this was such a great ending for this cour. Good endings don't necessarily spell out everything that is going to happen to the characters, but it creates a nice stopping place where you can draw your own conclusions on what is going to happen to them and be left satisfied. This was an extremely satisfying ending. A second season would be nice, but ending here and in this manner was a perfect ending regardless of what happens. Interesting way to look at things. I do agree that even if it didn't get another season that would be fine with how it ended, but I want more of this group's antics!! |
| That was a great episode. Like that story Shino was telling. I want a second season of this. |

Takuan_Soho said: Zee530 said: Suddenly interested in seeing a moe pirate anime, may be better than one piece. Humm, have you ever seen Moretsu Uchuu Kaizoku? Space pirates, but pirates non the less. http://myanimelist.net/anime/8917/Mouretsu_Pirates IMO the show had some really good episodes (particularly the beginning and the end) and some really bad episodes in the middle, but overall I liked the series and will watch the movie they are planning to release. I feel like that really doesn't fit the criteria of 'moe pirates. But it is pretty close, and was amazing~ |
| My favorite anime of this season has ended... I'm happy and sad at the same time. Happy because this series had an amazing ending with that fairy tale musical. Sad because this series is over... T_T That musical was spectacularly awesome with the setting, lyrics, and background music! Also, would love to see all 5 of them together in the same class but at least they can still visit each other during breaks. I'm going to miss Kiniro Mosaic, really. It's so adorable and heartwarming. It never fails to make me smile. Heck, I'm always grinning like an idiot every time I watch an episode! I want more, but I dunno if it'll get a second season. I hope so! Thank you very much! I love these girls... :') |
| Solid ending, I absolutely loved this episode. Bless Shino and her warped Disney musical. Of course her greatest treasure would be blonde hair. Overall a good series, definitely laughing from start to finish and rarely a boring moment with this cast. 7/10 |
 |
| 10/10. Loved watching this every week. So fun, calming, and the characters work great together. So sad it ended. And what an end it was! Loved the musical, and everything wrapped up nicely. |
 |
| great episode..really loved it ! a solid 7/10 but not more. one of the better shows this season. |
| Shino''s dream job is to be an interpreter... but by the looks of that classroom, future's going to be her working as a Walt Disney scriptwriter. 9/10 overall, enjoyed watching this. Looking forward to a possible S2. |
| The only thing I really didn't get was the classroom thing. They were just randomly shoved in any of the classes from what I can tell, so I'm pretty sure moving class would be no issue...? I'm pretty sure they'd let them move if being in a certain class upset them that much. Especially since the homeroom teacher seemed to be perfectly fine with sorting that out for Shino and Alice without even being asked??? Like c'mon girs, have some initiative. |
| Great series and the musical ending made it even more fun. Maaan...sure is tough with Tamayura and Kinmoza ending in the same week. The void feels even worse >_< |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| What a teary yet sorta fun ending... 9/10 So much Karen/Shino this ep... XD |

| 8/10 Wow what a amazing story musical ending. |
| Shino with blonde hair! lol. Great musical at the end. I guessed something like that would happen when they showed the end credits after only 8mins! ^_^ 7/10 |
| I raised my final score because of that unpredictable and hilarious musical sequence. What a way to end the show. It could have been awkward and silly, but it was executed very well. Major props to them for going all out with it. Shino's love for blonde hair never fails to amuse me. XD Sure, I would have liked if Kinmosa had gone down the Croisee in a Forein Labyrinth route(the first episode of Kinmosa is still my favorite), but as a "cute girls doing cute things" type of anime, it wasn't half-bad. Some funny and heartwarming moments throughout. Fun show. 6/10. |
| Great show! I'll miss it for sure... Need 2nd season! Need more Karen! XD |
| WOW, I really enjoyed this series all and all. The story telling at the end was a great touch to the ending. I am truly satisfied with this series. Overall great series. |

Like c'mon girs, have some initiative. it's how school in Japan works. It's not the US, THey're not going to accomodate two girls who are unhappy with their situation. The girls have to learn to adapt, as in Japan it's more about the group than the individual. It's also a running gag in these sort of shows to split up characters when they move forward. It's not a big deal, if anything, it'll make things more interesting. |
| Aya and Yoko got separated, and so did Alice and Shino. Yoko is so dense xD Loved how the ending song played in middle of the episode, I really loved it. Was that 'Another' reference? Or Sword Art Online? Or Chuunibyou? Lovable musical, Shino is talented with stories! I so rewatched that part, the music was so so addicting! Aya so beautfiul as a mermaid. Their voices were so amazing, esp. Shino's! The Aya/Yoko scenes were awesome as well! She cut her hair from them, just how amazing it was... Shino so popular near the end, looks like she has found her future self: a writer! This is bad, I am really really gonna miss it, sensei's "Araaa", Shino's kinpatsu love, Aya's tsundere-ness and waifu-ness (my fav!), Karen's energeticness and broken japanese, yoko's coolness, Alice's cuteness... It was one of my top 5 this season :/ Sorry for my biased-ness, but a 10/10 from me! I loved it a lot, esp. this episode was a masterpiece! Too bad, it was underrated right from the start, and is still... The 2nd season can totally use some stories from Shino, like she is aiming to become a writer now, and that's how it begins. I really want one, a 2nd season!... :/ |
 |
| Very nice series, 8/10. |
| I'm going to miss this show. But at least I have the Full ED to listen to. 8/10 |
 |
| pretty good for a "moeshit" show was really cute and sometimes quite funny overall 6+/10 |
| The second half of this episode is probably originally planned as an intermezzo episode on it's own, but as it turns out to be too good, it could kill the next episode pacing and atmosphere, so they put it as a closure instead. After that 'extra' half I crave for more Shino mousou-mode. That is said, I really love that Shino Musical, a hidden talent of Shino. This episode alone has heighten up my opinion on this series. If anyone curious, the group Rhodanthe* that sings OP & ED is the seiyuu of the main cast of this anime. http://www.jvcmusic.co.jp/rhodanthe/profile.html Khalan3 said: pretty good for a "moeshit" show Oh you, Tsundere. |

| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| great finale that musical was great :D |
| great episode. especially the ending was kind of epic :D i didn't expect them to sing. all in all i really enjoyed this anime. i would actually call it my guilty pleasure because usually i can't deal with such slice of life anime, especially if the characters are just lolis. but damn, dat show. i laughed, i smiled, i awww'd, i shipped (oh, aya and youko). 7.5/10 for the whole show. i'm not sure if i should give it 7 or 8 points in the end... /sigh |
| I ended up recording the Musical and have seen it over and over and over again, and every time I'm so entranced~ I can't wait for Sentai to release this on video!! I really hope it's the blu-ray. Man...anime is going to eat up all my money. It used to be games that did that, but anime has gotten way too good lately T_T |
| The musical was brilliant. 8/10 bc of them funny faces |
| The moment when blonde Shino sang "yes, it's my trasure" was so damn cute. That voice! :) Overall i had fun watching this anime. |
| The earliest ED played !! 9 minute into the episode (after the much talked about "Niagara hair" and "Alice saying I'll lie down" scenes) and it seemed it was already ending... And my face turned pale like Alice as she found out she was not to be in the same class as Shino LOL Turned out the bulk of this episode is a musical ! And again the theme of "golden color" (which forms part of the title of this show) came into play. The musical feels like an OVA and quite enjoyable. All in all this series is a great series. Top score needs to be given for its adaptation effort, love and respect towards the original work and characters, directing, sakuga and music. No wonder it seems to be heading towards one of series that sell well this season. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| That was just a great ending and didnt really see the musical ending |
 |
| That was a brilliant musical This is one of the best cute shows I've watched Would't mind second season |
| Really loved this. Always making my saturdays. Gonna miss this. Here's me hoping there's another season later. |
 |
| Solid series, underrated sadly enough though but i could't ask for a better note to go off with at first thought the musical was random but it was really good no wonder the whole floor gathered around the class lol one of Shino's hidden talents i guess. for smiles each week and a palate cleanser for other shows(looking at you titan) 8/10 |
 |
| WOW I AM SO IMPRESSED BY TIHS LAST EPISODE. They went out with a BANG. I love this show so much. I wanna give it a 12/10. I'm tonna miss all the characters especially Ayaya. MAAAAN I WANT A SEASON 2 |
 |
| This episode was great! That fantasy and that musical! xD Overall, a fun and cute slice-of-life offering something slightly new to the cute-girls-doing-cute-things genre :) |
 |
| Dat Musical at the latter half of the ep This show just doesn't fail to make me laugh each episode & I hope this get another season 8/10 for me |
| That reminds me Manga readers, was the story thing in the manga? Or was this totally original content? Maybe it was like the first episode, which was a huge elaboration on a single page? |
| Well, that second part was freakin' awesome and hilarious too, I love Karen so much xD Anyway, the anime was really great, hope we have second season :D |
 "Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?" |
| that scream lol man i love sensei that song lol in the end i enjoyed this anime it was ok |
 |
| Woah, the musical was the best scene of the episode, haha xD, and omg their voices, we don't get to hear them singing besides the OP and ED sequences. Especially Aya's voice, I can listen to that for a while >< , and dat early ED sequence had me tripping, haha. Really great ending to a great series, one of the better slice-of-life series I've seen. At least a 7/10, but more likely an 8 from me. |

| Yuyushiki of the year XD |
