| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This was a very different anime, especially one filled with mechas. They didn't have some sort of final battle and battles only served to mess with relationships. To be honest, I loved with very-focused romance part, but it seems like Mamiko Noto did still end up with that loser. Nonomi was the best part of this anime though, hands down. So cute not being able to stay awake for the countdown. <3 |

| agreed. it was very anti-climactic, but it still gave off a that "good ending" vibe. unlike most mecha series, this one in particular was romance driven with a touch of drama and tragedy... for me, it was bittersweet xP I also expected a final battle with a death of someone tied heavily to the plot. but even with my expectations laid to rest, i still enjoyed it very much ^^ this series is very unappreciated and i feel deserves a little more attention, but that's just me and my ramblings. 9/10 |
| I really liked it too ^^ Mai and Hayami had such a cute relationship! BTW, this anime soundtrack is also great! O_O |
| It was ok. The main plot got switched halfway into romance only. Hayami is such a wimp. He should just switch his role with Mai lol. |
 |
| i gotta say after what he said in the restaurant and then what you heard her say in the street to the camera... i kinda felt for the wimp. she still thought about the guy who died, and she still didn't really let go off the past even though she had feelings for Hayami (who, lets face it wouldn't say boo to a goose). i also felt for the poor dude who kept chasing after that woman and being rejected everytime. it was a sweet ending for those two, especially the ending credits where you actually see Hayami's face as the one she was waiting on... there was a lack of mecha action considering and i wanted bad luck girl to get the girly haired boy :-/ |
SKYflare said: Still dont really like it. Mai is sti hesitant between past and present and it pisses me off. Hayami is just being led around by the nose and its sad. this! It was irritating that the supporting cast needed to interfere about their relationship. Hayami's stupiness is beyond me. He acted like a girl throughout the series. And Mai can you please throw that picture of your crush already? Both mc were unlikeable so 3/10 |
| I enjoyed this series but was really struck by the change of tone in the story. It started out as a mecha(slice of life story, but then it went into full on romance territory. |

| Evangelion wannabe, but with a bland, cluttered and indiscernible cast that get nearly no characterization, horribly boring action, melodramatic tone shifts, and lack of direction in all avenues with the constant genre swapping. It's like this anime was afraid to spend any amount of time to develop anything that was going on in it, jumping around scene from scene, person to person, spending no time like a monkey. This is an absolute mediocrity. The world building was nice, and so was the soundtrack, but the world building was thrown aside episode 8 onwards when the anime became more about having it's robotic cast do purely slice of life mischief and force the relationship of Shinji(Hayami) and Asuka(Mai) jr with plot devices and contrivances(see episode 8 which revolved entirely around the fan girl of Hayami confessing to him under a misunderstanding to make Mai jealous). It's not inherently bad, but there's nearly nothing good about it except the two things I mentioned. Everything else is simplistic and boring, never taking a step to develop itself, getting lost in it's massive and bland robotic cast. Easiest 5 I've ever given. 5/10 |
