Sylpheed said: Totally agree. This ended with the typical "happy" ending, but there was relatively little drama. On top of that, 6 episodes wasn't really enough to get me drawn in. Some parts of this show felt too rushed.There's a possibility that I'll give it a 10 if the ending was the death of Rika portrayed by a good ending even if it means a lost of the main character. I gave it 8/10. The ending is good but I wish for a scene that'll put me in tears. |
| I was hoping for a more tragical ending. I'm going to give it a 6/10 |
| Short, but good. I liked it, specifically the story and characters (And Ezaki's seiyu was awesome ^^). Deserves for something like an 8 or 9 in my book. hirahira said: I was hoping for a more tragical ending. I'm going to give it a 6/10 Hmm? Really? Think about it. Immediate death would incur a less tragic and traumatic ending. But since she apparently lived for quite some time, their relationship would only get stronger, making it a bigger shock for him when she would eventually die. Truthfully, even though it was an immediate "happy ending" of sorts, in the long run it will turn out very tragic and solemn. |
| The anime was great. The end was very good. |
| well, what was that "Men have everything, they just don't know it." thingy? |
| Amazing anime, a really good and touching story. |
| Sad sad :o the ending is awesome too |
| Awesome! Sugoi! Best Romance anime I have ever seen! Has lots of good messages about love. Well now, Yuuchi can only wait for the "WORST". 10/10 Great Ending |
 |
| Darn it, got distracted and lost it all. Rewriting from memory :'( I thought that was a great ending to a 'sweet?' series. The main reason I enjoyed it so much was probably because of the Natsume character. (Not that I particularly liked him) It was one of the first series where they've had a character so left behind from a death like that, usually i'd see the character as all 'I miss so-and-so, but our time together was so happy that i wouldn't give it up for the world, and i'd do it all again without a second thought' and then you have him, who I saw as not necessarily regretting it, as he obviously loved her, but seemed so stuck in wondering what he could have had if she hadn't happened, how negatively it had affected him, or something.. Then what advice he'd give to Yuuichi when seeing him in a similar position, or something.. Well, I found it all quite interesting. I loved the zebra masks. They were so out of place they made me lol everytime he came up on screen, and I was in hysterics when the brother turned up. I didn't like the Akiko's friend storyline bit, maybe it was just me, but it seemed like they were suggesting guys in that position who feel 'heavy' or under pressure or something are going to sleep with anyone who offers, and thats bullshit. (I hope, never having been in a similar situation) I also loved that the ending DIDN'T go any further than it did, it didn't show them getting married, it didn't show her dying, it didn't show how it then affected Yuuichi and left it just as they're two people in love, and are going to make the most of their time together. |
| I was hoping for a tragic end Though it ended on a happy note i didn't mind since it wasn't the cliche happily ever after ending (by that I mean Rika was going to die within the next few years instead of a perfectly normal life where everything was magically fixed by some unlikely fate at the end) overall i enjoyed the romance with the little bits of comedy i do however think that the whole Akiko's friend hits on Ezaki scene was unnecessary. overall I give it 8/10 |

| i enjoyed this anime, though it was short.. it left me with the importance of time and how it shouldn't be wasted. |
 |
| Still didn't like that doctor, somehow this is the only i felt after watching it..6/10, good ending btw like that smoking nurse and Yuuichi's friend the masked guy, though i wonder how the hell he can easily do something like that and escaped from the hospital many times.. |
 |
| Good anime indeed. An ending with a mix of sadness and happyness to it, but an interesting love story and powerful theme. |
 |
| This is probably one of the best endings I've seen to an anime. It fits perfectly with the powerful message that it tells. We see what life is like for the couple during the ending credits in previous eps (getting married, etc) so at least they live happily even if it's for a limited time. Only complaint would be that it would have been much better if it was 13 or 26 eps (I mean, there are 8 volumes of the novel that could have been adapted!). Never thought a 6-episode series could leave such a lasting impression on me with its two main characters and its powerful message... |

The ending is good but I wish for a scene that'll put me in tears. I agree, I thought a tragic ending would have fit the show a lot better. But, nonetheless it was still a good anime. I'd give it a 7/10. |

| A decent anime.. they coulda done it better though. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| It was quite well executed for only six episodes. It's a bit sad that even though it had a good ending, we know that the reality isn't so. Some bits were a bit childish to me. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Wow, much better ending than I had anticipated. Though still sad, at least it ended in such a happy way. Liked it a lot. 8/10 |
 |
| great anime bittersweet ending idk |
"I am the bone of my sword, Steel is my body and Fire is my blood, I have created over a thousand blades, Unknown to Death, Nor known to Life, Have withstood pain to create many weapons, Yet, those hands will never hold anything, So as I pray, unlimited blade works" |
| iono, it felt a bit meh. 6/10 I felt like I was missing alot of stuff in the ending, it wasn't satisfying at all. Even the bitter sweet endings tend to have a strong sensation swirling within me, but not this series. |
| I thought the scene of Rika dying would be shown and there'd be lotta crying but there wasn't. Oh well, overall it was just an alright series. |
| what a bittersweet ending ;( but it's true,always cherish what you have now :)...i will now imagine that Rika will somehow get better(maybe heart transplant) and they will live happily ever after :) 9/10 |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| Liked this last episode but it couldve been done more differently. I was thinking they'd put that mountain scene a bit earlier and then show Yuiichi just remembering the days he was with her (after her death). I think this will be a lot sadder but still have the feeling of happiness lingering 8/10 |
  |
| Hmm, was fine to pass the time - I liked the characters. The series itself, wasn't that moving, not that much drama - lets just say other animes have had an impact so to say (like key's work). The ending is the best possible outcome - if you consider what you went into thinking will happen when you started watching - I was sure someone will die - but everything turned out "semi"-okay, if you know what I mean? So nothing was really sad or moving, everything just went fine. 7/10. |
| i love happy ending stories ^^ |
| This was good to burn some time (and bandwidth). I would have to agree that maybe Rika dying would have give it more interesting ending as the possibility to contrast how he and the doctor handle the aftermath would have made an awesome ending. Personally i would have love to him drop dead at the moment he decides to use that rope to get to her room. He had to convince Rika's mother to be able to talk to her. 7/10 - This wasn't bad, but it doesn't shiny either Oh 6 episode where more than enough. A 12 or 24 episodes format would have made this painful (not emotional... just like "jezus make them stop bitching and get it over with") to watch. |
| huh? |
| I wasn't expecting a happy ending, though it was what I wanted to happen. It was great that they kissed at the end. Not sure whether to give this 8 or 9 /10 yet. EDIT: Just noticed at the very very end there's a picture of them getting married. 9/10 it is! |
 |
| Kind of a happy and sad ending. I really liked watching this. Too bad it was so short :( |
 |
| Kind of a boring romance. Yuuichi has to do all the work to form a relationship. The only contribution Rika makes is no longer being blase about dying. There's no mutual chemistry. The rest is just typical hospital romance angsting. |
| I like the theme they pushed here, but I feel like I wasted my time watching this. Just SO completely mediocre, with really unbelievable drama all over the place. I can't get over nurses and doctors literally punching and kicking their patients... like, really? I get that anime isn't always realistic, and I'm fine with that, but fuck that's just completely ridiculous. The way they turned that into legit srs bsns drama just rubbed me the wrong way. There was no chemistry between the couple, and Yuuichi's actions in just the previous episode where he slept with that woman have me wondering "Okay, he did it once, when will he do it again?" Also, why the hell should I care about that woman? Like, she was crying while laughing after getting discovered and then we never saw her again. Wtf? She showed up in a car, tried to sleep with Yuuichi, and we never saw her again. K then. My expectations were decent, but this was so... blah. Should have spent my time doing something else. 6/10 |

| I can't believe this is so well received. I had trouble getting through it, despite its short length. 5/10 (might lower to a 4) |
