| That was a really good and intense series. Some people might think Setsuna was just a schemer but she actually also loved him too. And in the end, it ends up as a tragedy. And love was really beyond reach for everyone. Kazusa and Haruki were so close yet it didn't work out. Someone was always just out of reach. And Setsuna, even at the end she is right beside Haruki, but love is so far away between them at the same time. Some people may hate this because of the ending but tragedies can also be highly rated. Just look at Shakespeare. Another wonderful thing about this story is that we keep reliving it, told again and again with different perspectives. Each time we see another point of view and get to learn more. |

| I have never been so appalled by an ending in my life, I really wanted to like this series but it just collapsed. Final verdict 1/10 Very very disappointed. |
dirtyuncle said: Ending made me go WTF. They went a bit too far by trying to provoke feelz. That scene with Haruki and Kazusa making out with Setsuna watching in the background was ridiculous. They didn't try to provoke feels, the protagonists just got exactly what they deserved. I laughed like crazy at the making-out scene, not because it was ridiculous, but because it was glorious. I felt like it had gone full circle, since the love triangle started getting serious when Setsuna saw Kazusa kissing Haruki while he was sleeping. |

What do you mean they didn't try to provoke the feels? They completely stole your feels with the sex scene and then dropped them when she left, they then hyped the shit out of getting her back and you're left to think shes gone forever, once again tugging at your feels, and then they catch up to her and you're so revealed your feels are starting to touch ground again, pow an amazing kiss, and you're thinking to yourself wow this was great the feel train is racing and this is beautiful. Then she leaves anyways because she's a bitch. And your hearts smashed under the pile of rubble that just came crashing down on you. |

This isn't "trying to provoke feels", this is the natural conclusion of the love triangle. I was impressed with the way they wrapped it up, but I didn't get the feels, since the characters deserved this ending. If you were still shipping Kazusa and Haruki, despite what they did, I don't think it's the show's fault that you felt let down by this episode. "Trying to provoke feels" is: boy meets cute girl, they spend time together, girl dies, you're sad. |

| This is one depressing ending, anyway I believe all this drama wouldn't have happened if Haruki actually thinks using his brain and not his penis. |
 |
| Why do i think that from reading some of the comments on this forum, i feel like im one of the few watchers who has a positive feedback on the ending? Lols. Oh well. Nvrmind. Hoho. 10/10. I love this anime. At first, i didn't have any expectations on this one. Typical triangle love etc.. but wow. I was actually surprised! Its actually more than that because of the real friendship of those two girls. They really found love for each other and they value that a lot as well as their love for the guy. The feelings were properly conveyed (well pretty much to me. Hoho) I love the characters as well, especially kazusa. Her character is so stable. Really. With romance stories, when a strong girl falls in love, there's a drastic change on the personality right? On her chara, oh freak. *speechless* loved her until the end. As for her rival, setsuna, well, oh em. Her scene at the end freakin broke my heart. Tss. Cant believe myself ahipping for actually two girls. This is a first. Haha. Finally, the guy? Wakanai. Demo i like him! Especially at the end? No one needs to actuallu pshed him or made him realize what to do, he knows it himself and act on it strongly. Waaaaaaaa. I probably won't move on on this anime for a while. The hell with is. I thought i wont find anime like this anymore. Glaaaad i downloaded this. Hoho. I would totally recommend it to my friends. :))) |
| I really enjoyed the first half of the show, but when the drama started, i think that is where it started to go downhill for me. I really liked Touma up until the last couple episodes. |
| I hated the ending too but at least i know everyone got what they deserved in the end. |
| What a messed up drama. As much of I think Haruki is the cause of all this mess due to the irrational decisions he was making, the blame goes to all three characters in this love triangle. My complaint with this episode was that I got no ending or at least a hint on what may happen to Haruki later on. |
| Disappointing latter half of this series, but I'll still give a 7/10 for Touma not cancelling her flight. |
| Just finished this series. It made me feel exactly like I was during my watching of School Days, except this had a more *ahem* realistic *ahem* ending. But I was still cursing at the characters the whole time. At Setsuna for being such a selfish bitch and at Makoto 2.0 for being basically the most indecisive of the indecisive MCs of the planet. I get that he "laid" (heh) his cards on the table, and I didn't expect him to, but DAYUM, did he do it way too late. If it had School Days' ending, it'd feel so fulfilling. Good art, good plot, decent pacing (great in the last episodes, really bad for the first six), hatable characters, sometimes feels dumb, not enough music IMO... Overall an 8/10. |
| Not so bad but the series was still average for me. I prefer the old one. 5/10 |
 |
| I had completed watching this series last night and must admit, I couldn't stop thinking about the whole show itself. I didn't want to watch this because of WA1(In fact I haven't even finished the 1st season yet as it was boring in my opinion). Basically I didn't think this anime had high expectations than I imagined. As far as the pair goes, I would say I prefer KazusaxHaruki because it felt like a relationship compared with Setsuna. There were many reasons why Setsuna wanted to dated Haruki and one of which was because the trauma of her previous friends leaving her. As a result she doesn't want to be left out and feel isolated. However at the end Setsuna finally knew she had feelings for Haruki but it was too late thus Haruki only liked Kazusa from the start. The last episode I do feel sympathy towards Setsuna as it seems she was left out and neglected from Haruki and Kazusa, To me that seems like selfishness and I wouldn't call it as *friendship*. Originally I thought the ending would turn out to be Haruki confesses to Kazusa and explains to Setsuna which Setsuna then forgives and becomes friendship with Haruki+ Kazusa = Happy ending. I feel this ending is the most appropriate to use as if Kazusa stayed and didn't leave then it would really be awkward for Setsuna thus Kazusa betrayed friendship by cheating. In additional all the songs are all beautiful to listen to. Overall I'm still choosing between an 8 or a 9 but I give it a 8.5/10. I really want to see a season 2 of White Album |

 Yahallo! Yatta! Baka! <!  "Humans, your existence was a mistake. Conflicts, lies, jealously, greed. You once caused me to lose everything and today I will devour everything... Because I am the Valkyrie Goddess"> |
| Kind of happysad ending. I'd be happy if it had second season to see further development of their relationship. |
 |
| just going to throw in my 2 cents but i see alot of people discussing this both on MAL and other sites and they either want to blame Touma or Ogiso when to be honest if anyone was to blame for how things ended up it is Haruki i mean FFS if he had just been honest with ogiso when she confessed it could have all been ok and sure she might be hurt but they could still be friends all 3 of them because i doubt he would have had it in him to confess to touma and there is no way she would have because of her stubborness and quite frankly shyness. I feel terrible for both the girls even though i was a Touma fan from the start because she is the type im into and it was obvious she has been in love with him far longer. But all in all it was a good ending sad but good. My version of a perfect ending" Touma and Ogiso tell haruki to fuk off and the two girls live happily ever after while haruki ends up being left behind to reflect on what just happend |

ChickenDje said: "Realistic" LOL good oneSummerberry said: This anime is definitely not for the faint of hearts ,This anime portrays something that happens in real life which is a lot for that matter.It shows the other side of relationships and deals with themes like betrayal of friendship..etc. Toradora is a great anime but I still consider it to be an idealistic romance ,Toradora is a show that doesn't portray love in such a shallow way like other shows and it shows us what true love is all about ,it does so better than many other shows of the same genre but it's far from realistic in my opinion. White Album 2 shows the realistic side of love and what usually happens when love gets in the way of friendship. The characters in Toradora are portrayed as good people with minor flaws ,they rarely make mistakes and genuinely care for each other.All of them are selfless people.If anything Toradora is closer to Nagi no Asukara more than it's to White Album 2. White Album 2 shows that human can be selfish monsters ,the characters in White Album 2 are not good people like in Toradora ,they make huge mistakes and hurt each other,they are flawed and weak and that what makes them humans. +1 "White Album 2 shows the realistic side of love" That's why White album 2 becomes my best anime romance I love this The reality of love and sadness of love I had thought that there would be no anime romance I mark 10/10 until I watch White album 2 And I hope that before I die I will get chance to watch White album 2 ss2 IC only 8 But CC get 9/10 I think If WA 2 get ss2 ,Maybe WA 2 become the best series romance ever #sorry_for_my_bad_English 4/10 Melodrama, forced plot points for the sake of drama and angst, ridiculously over the top character interactions |
 |
| After all that she leaves? lol Whatever, I don't even care about these 3 characters anymore. All of them are stupid as hell. Touma was way too tsundere and missed her chance and even when she finally had the opportunity to be together with Makoto, sorry I mean Haruki (he isn't as bad as that guy, but almost) she just left. Setsuna was too naive, she went into a cleary forced/fake relationship just to be with the guy even though she knew it wouldn't end well in the long run... Takeya was pretty much the best character in the whole thing. Even the 2 other side characters (Io and that other guy) were better and more interesting >_> 5/10... |
 |
| It's hard to be touched by the drama if I cannot relate to any of these situations. My parents don't live overseas, my 2 undisputed best friends are not girls, and I think I speak for most of us when saying that experiencing a love triangle is a rather rare occurrence. I appreciate the fact that the characters are realistic in the sense that they aren't ruled by anime tropes, but that's about it. The ending did not piss me off, did not make me cry, if anything it felt a little bland at times given how I can barely feel anything for these characters. All in all, I don't think I laughed when watching this, I don't think it made me go d'aww... I don't think it managed to pull any emotions out of me, so therefore I must give it a 6/10. Only reason why I watched so many episodes in a row was because I wanted to see what exactly would cause the situation showcased at the beginning and as the show went on that naturally became obvious, then add the flashbacks that lasted for more than an episode, some eyerolling moments in ep. 12 and that's how you lose any momentum you had built up, WA2. Good music though. |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| I went into this anime expecting it to be complete shit but it grew on me. A lot better than I expected. While the ending is terrible plot wise, it was executed well so it doesn't deter from the quality of the show. However, I thought Setsuna's behavior was a bit stubborn and odd. If the person I love kissed another girl right in front of my eyes and told me to leave, I wouldn't be able to hang on like that. Even though Setsuna said that she didn't love Haruki as much as Touma, I think it is a lie. The whole story....they were trying so hard to protect their friendship and it all went out of the window like that. Love and irrationality can be a scary thing. This anime has a tragic ending and that's fine. I don't mind tragic endings as long as it's executed well. |
| NO BOAT!! 5/10! |
 |
| Really a great romance, though all 3 got a pretty sad ending. Since sadly, Kazusa still left and the ending was kind of sad for both Hauki and Setsuna even though they were still together. |
| And they stayed the at the airport and froze to death. That's the ending i can live with. Touma's plane also crashed to a mountain. |
Kuruwin said: And they stayed the at the airport and froze to death. That's the ending i can live with. Touma's plane also crashed to a mountain. That would instantly make me raise its score to a 10, that's for sure. |

| What a way to start an episode! Straight to sex! Damn Haruki! She ignorged Setsuna's call! Damn that ray of darkness! I think HAruki performed cunnilingus on Kazusa. It was hard to tell since a whole lot of the screen got dark. The way Kazusa was walking in the morning. Was that from what they did at night or does she feel guilt about what she has done. It's one of those two. Kazusa also took 2 uttons. I don't know what that means. It means something for sure. Edit: I saw the BD version. You didn't miss much. No nipple was shown. So Setsuna and Haruki both tell the whole truth. Jeez. That moment when Haruki ran toward Kazusa and screamed her name. THEY EVEN KISSED RIGHT IN FROT OF HER! Well I guess it balances out since Setsuna and Haruki kissed in front of Kazusa so I guess its okay. That must've hurt Setsuna a whole lot. Even I was affected a little. Geez, I was waiting for her to start crying. She finally did. Kazusa leaves?! WHAT!? I thought for she she was going to stay! No!!! Setsuna also refuses to leave Haruki's side. She's really in love with him. I completely forgot about that third original song that they made for their school festival. I wanted to know what it was and glad they they are showing us. A Love That Cannot Be was the title. OOOOOOH! IT WAS THE OPENING THE WHOLE TIME! That's awesome! I didn't know that. That definitely made it better. So that 's how it ends? Nobody gets together? Bad end? That sucks. Still this was lightyears better than the original White Album anime was. So I see people say that this is the Introductory Chapter and there is a Closing Chapter and Coda(whatever that means). So the story continues after this? I think I'm goign to read about what those two things are. I'm not completely satisfied with this ending. I would love those to get adapted. |

| Creators had balls to end it like that and I respect that. I liked how characters developed throughout the show, overall a very enjoyable anime that's not taking typical approach to romance plot. |
 |
| The TV series, as I had supposed, from the best right at the end but the end as it is;It is a punch in the stomach. I had been I would have given Setsuna, despite my mistakes, a lesson in the School Days. Overall still a anime who managed to escape at the last minute and give a good impression, even snatching a vow that until recently would not have thought of giving. Not bad the two protagonists a little less Haruki, beautiful soundtrack. With the graphics better, it would have been an anime even more beautiful to look at, as long as you do even a greater number of episodes. Final vote of 7.5 / 10! |
 |
| After re-watching this anime series I understand the ending of this episode. Setsuna wanted Haruki to find Kzusa during the train station was to test if her emotions were affected therefore it shows Setsuna actually love Haruki. Yes Haruki is unforgivable and a wannabe school day MC but remember from the start of the series ,it was stated he was too kind and would agree than neglect in regards to Setsuna's confession. In summary Haruki is kind and stupid to understand Love until Kazusa confesses her feelings to him during episode 12-13. I guess its only a matter of time to wait for WA2 - Season 2 for the opening and Closing chapter, want to know what character development will involve and when Kazusa actually returns, will Haruki still have the same feelings or will it be to Setsuna or a new character? Many questions for the upcoming seasons. Starlight, please continue making a similar plot as this for the upcoming series. In addition I will admit its 2x better than Your Lie in April regarding to everything including Opening/ending songs and insert, literally everything.l |

| i disagree with your final line but its a matter of opinion if you think its 2x better but i think its more like if you had a similar situation as ether anime you would like it more i loved Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso but WA2 took til Ep 11 until i got into it. |

Yeah,it's not a matter of opinion but lets not forget your lie in april were using repetive scene alot which felt like theywere wasting time on each episode. Furthermore, most of the characters were bland except for Kaori and it took 22 episides for Arima to resume his piano career. Where as wa2wa2 includes a package, containing character development and story at the same time |

| Wow, a romance anime with kissing and sex. Not a bad series. I would have liked the ending more if Setsuna didn't love Haruki as much, and cling to him at the end. I felt bad for her. |
| I hope they animate the Closing Chapter and Coda too especially touma true end best ending! |

| I have a lot of flash back and I just remembered that Setsuna decided she wanted to stay with Haruki because Setsuna does not want to be left alone like previously and it was shown when Setsuna could not perform the rehearsal without the Touma and Haruki. This implies She will be clinging onto Haruki. I am hoping Setsuna will leave Haruki and Haruki will be chasing her back instead. WA2 I know you can excel |

| What a pain in the dick this show was. They kept the Setsuna thing going on for too long. I get it, you put yourself in between Kazusa and Haruki, you can shut up now. The way the story begins is cheesy in itself. The mysterious pianist next door that Haruki didn't feel like waiting around to see who comes out because romance anime are cool like that. Kazusa was even more emotionally retarded than Setsuna which was apparent early in the series. Her persistent remarks about the others being nothing and their feelings meaning nothing was such a pain to watch. Haruki could've spent some time studying how socially inept the girls around him are rather than his school books. I wish I could like this show as much some of you others do. That would make up for spending my Saturday watching it. |
MysticFish said: I hope they animate the Closing Chapter and Coda too especially touma true end best ending! One day, I hope that dream will come true. Though like the First Season, I don't think it will be highly received... :( devinder said: Kazusa was even more emotionally retarded than Setsuna which was apparent early in the series. Her persistent remarks about the others being nothing and their feelings meaning nothing was such a pain to watch. Their feelings meaning nothing? Did Kazusa say that? Kazusa was always trying to hide her feelings for the fear of hurting Setsuna. This can be difficult to watch and a pain indeed but to me, it adds to the complexity of human feelings. Some people are just unable to be upfront. |
 |
| So the whole Setsuna being alright with Haruki cheating was weird. In a way at the end I didn't particularly like Haruki and I didn't want him with either girl. Anyways i thought overall the show was good. Their was the right amount of drama and the story and character arcs were interesting. Overall I wouldn't be disappointed if they followed this up with another season. 7/10. |
