| hmm things with this Euphoric Field are getting messed up, some facts here I know for sure: for the anime... wow. SHAFT did it and made something wich is equal to what kyotoani makes and maybe somewhere even better. I was rooting for this anime even before it was aired and it did meet all of my expectations. Lets see what the next anime will be made by SHAFT, I might make a listdesign for it and root for it from the start again ^__^ wow.. took 20 minutes to write a comment.. fearsome.. |

| Actually nnl encoded the entire thing in 1280x960 in H264, beyond godly btw. I was watching it and wow...they must have spent a lot of money making that considering its the OP for a VN... for Uber godly version... http://shana.imouto.org/nnl/ef%20-%20a%20fairly%20tale%20of%20the%20two%20HD%20Op%20%5Bnnl%5D.mkv for version that kicks youtube's ass (flash video sucks!!!) http://www.stage6.com/user/iijimad/video/1088295/ef---a-fairy-tale-of-the-two-/demo |

| Awww PimpToad you made my post useless ;o; |

Care to be more specific as to what part it plays on? In my ears, I heard the violin/piano part playing numerous times (might be going crazy btw). The discussion is whether it was Euphoric Field or Yuukyuu (not typing that long thing again). It sounds like it was Euphoric then going to Yuukyuu as the violin piece ends. Edit: Bah your fault for posting Youtube stuff =P Flash video is a sin when it comes to quality xD |
| Awesome ending :D |
     |
| A very awesome ending. I didn't think everything would turn out so well! All in all, a very wonderful show. I really should have watched this when it first aired, instead of going through the first 10 episodes in 2 days. SHAFT have produced two outstanding shows this year (SZS and ef), both very different and unique, which fits with their style. An easy 10/10, and it will replace BGC 2040 on my Top 5. |

| great ending, but im kinda disappointed that it ended already :\. |
     |
| This was absolutely wonderful. I don't see any other way that it could have ended so well. I'm so happy everything worked out in the end. The scene when everyone was on the roof speaking about their dreams and such was so great. It's sad to see one of the greatest series out there end. This is definetly in my top 5! Also the change in the OP was great. Good to know no one is alone in the end. |

Actually better to watch anime that way, then you don't have to wait that painful week for the next episode to air =P |
| i liked the ending and the whole series too even though sometimes it got really corny... and thanks for the links both of you! uhm just a little question though: what was that with the two meeting in the church in the end... always thought she was a ghost or something similar... can somebody explain please? |
 |
PimpToad said: Actually better to watch anime that way, then you don't have to wait that painful week for the next episode to air =P I was late to the party. I wanted to suffer with the rest of you. And also it's because I wish I started this show earlier instead of watching Blue Drop first. :( |
| Very good ending, though I actually kind of hoped they would tell us more about Yuko. I guess we'll have to wait until after the second tale. Which will be in 2008.. So the anime, probably, sometime in 2009, or so. It's definitely one of the most beautiful anime I have seen. :) So it will be now the second favorite of mine. :) |
| This was beautiful to no end T_T |
     |
| I didn't really liked the Renji x Chihiro story at first, but the series managed to make me change my mind. Enjoyed this episode a lot. Most of what I can say has been said already, so there. Great anime series. |
| love love desu i love it will love it just great god ending still dont like director guy(he can blind for all i care) but just awesome Put your wishes into the memories you do not want to forget. XD |

| 10xxxxx/10 awesome ending, in such rare times of good endings, i'm feeling a bit disappointed, because i dont see it again the next time... hopefully not.. |
| The story in this show wasn't amazingly original, but the way it was visualized was really impressive. The whole metaphor of Chihiro and the chains was really well thought out, and the countdown scene in an earlier episode is probably one of the most memorable in any anime. I'm kind of surprised the ending was as happy as it turned out to be. A lot of shows like this have really bad endings. Tying up loose ends and giving all the characters closure can often be a little sappy, I think it played out well here. I wish more shows ended with everyone together and happy. |
| Great ending. For some reason, I found the discussion between Renji and Kuze to be very poignant. "What if the dream is something impossible?" Looking forward to SHAFT's next anime. |
| Ah, what a nice ending. I'm quite satisfied, this was one of the few anime's i've seen with a good ending. Overall I enjoyed the series very much =) 9/10 Excellent ^^ |
 |
| Best show of 2007 in my mind, without a doubt, and a great way to cap off my favourite year all-around. Here's to hoping 2008 delivers as well. |
  |
| If nothing else, this show definitely had the best visuals, by far, this season. Even if you don't like the plot or characters, it would be worth watching for the art alone. |

| Great series (10/10) The end was just perfect (happy for all characters :) ) |
| I liked the ending, though I felt like she would remember him at the end or just forget about him. At least my happy prediction came true. |
 |
Faust721 said: A very nice catch, I like ef even more now. ahahha yeah, my thoughts exactly. |
| Wonderful ending! :) This just made it only the second series ever to get a 10 from me. And I knew Renji would go and gather the lost pages. Thanks for not letting me down! |
 |
| I really like the ending x3 and I'm happy it turned out well with Chihiro and Renji at the end <3 Even though I thought they won't be together after episode 11 x3 I loved the scene where Renji searched for Chihiro's memories ^_^ And the changed opening was also great x3 |
| Wow. I was waiting and waiting for the subbed, since for some reason I couldn't find a raw version that loaded, but I'm glad the subbed one came out. <333 The OP was on youtube for, like, a week or so before it got subbed, and it taunted me so. DDD> But... wow~ <3 Such a sweet ending. A bit cheesy with them all saying that "dream" stuff, but still a lovely ending. The bit with Yuko was a neat touch too. The whole scene with Chihiro being released from the chains was well done. Myako brought a little bit of a laugh when she talks to Hirono about him eating breakfast at dinner time and such. Renji's search for all of the pages was just... wow. <3333 Best Episode. End of Story. <3 |

For some strange reason there was something in me preventing from putting Ef in my top 5, even after watching this during the credits, there was just something... I dont know what it was, but after reading the above quote i was like, oh gawd stuff it Ef freiken masterpiece in everyway. There's probably other nice things like the above i missed while watching Ef. Gotta re-watch it someday. 10/10. Masterpiece. And now my 3rd fav anime of all time officially. |

| This series was amazing from start to finish. I couldn't ask for something more colorful as this. I'm glad they went with the Chihiro managed to remember Renji ending. I guess the "mess up " I pointed out last episode wasn't really a mess up at all XD. Then ending was perfect. Everyone got a happy one. I'm still a bit confused about Chihiro's guardian and the other girl though. I'm guessing she was dead and he was alive. From what I gather she died in that city that was destroyed and he didn't or did but didn't cross over because he had unfinished business to handle. It would be nice if someone that played the game could elaborate on it. Also heres my update relationship chat along with every single one I've made. The list goes in order from oldest to most current. So the first image is from one of the first episodes and the last is from this episode. |

| Every now and then an anime series appears out of no way and becomes an instant hit and that is exactly what ef - A Tale of Memories is. This finally episode just confirmed the greatness of this anime series and I'm sad to see it end but atleast it left me feeling satisfied. ^_^ |

| Well, the show was so good that I tried to write a review for it. I haven't written one in a while, and I think I may have let my emotions take the best of me while trying to write about it. But oh well. |
| Great ending. Not much more to say really :P. As for the anime itself, it was great artistically, the characters were all pretty nice, the plot was great. Easy 9/10 from me. |

DeathfireD said: Also heres my update relationship char along with every single one I've made. The list goes in order from oldest to most current.

At least, I assume they're friends from the way Kuze talks about Himura. |
| New breach of my Top Ten list. And aside from 5 centimeters per second and Higurashi, best anime of 2007. That being said, though I wasn't disappointed with the ending I was a little disappointed with how they concentrated on certain themes in the end and left others out. (Namely, when each character talked about how they would approach life from now on). Though perhaps it's just my over-analysis making something out of nothing again and adding in unintended themes. |
| I don't think they even knew each other. Kuze spoke about Himura from what Renji told him, I think. |
| WOw...spectacular ending... I luved how at the end all 3 couples were standing there saying stuff about dreams and goals. A good inspiration to ppl who watch this show. There are such things as Miracles ^_^ definately one of the greatest romance anime hehe |
 |
| Wow so many reviews suddenly popped up... And to think a lot of people dropped this show because of the first couple of episodes. Just goes to show that good things come to those who wait xD Edit: Who is the troll who voted 1? Sheesh... |

That sounds about right, I just updated that last chart to show that they're friends and also removed something else I forgot to remove. Sorry about that mixup. @MajorAddiction - thanks, I enjoyed doing it. I'll be doing it for Kimi-kiss now. |

| Animation changed in the Op!!! xD i was being all distracted watching it and then i saw the changes and i had to go back and see it again hahaha i was not sure i had seen than right lol. Anyway! That was a very nice and sweet ending. I kinda didnt hate Kei at the end so yay! Everyone was happy in the end :D even the moody dude in the church! (forgot his name) He got to meet the person he was waiting for <3 awww's! |
     |
| Amazing how this show came out of nowhere to become probably the best anime of the season. But the last episode had the feeling of Myself; Yourself, it seemed the climax of the plot didn't happen in the last episode, which in my opinion give a new and unique view at how anime should run story plots through multiple episodes. |
  |
| OMG... such an awesome ending existed!!! the art, the music, the character development, the cuteness of miyako!!!! all of them were magnificent throughout the whole season! i totally knew that chihiro was going to remember renji, but it was still really nice to see them get back together. renji collecting chihiro's memory was... uhh... cute? the ending was awesome. and i gotta say that yuko in the school uniform is... cute. i seriously need to get the game, and wait for the translations. since the game OP looks so... awesome this is a must see anime!!! really, awesome!!! masterpiece, or in nagato's words, "unique" |
