| I Lol @ people who just watch anime to "Tear up" seriously? if you wanna tear up so bad I think it's time you guys upgrade to some drama show's or something. This was a well written anime that explained the story behind this tragedy I would give it a 10/10 :] And besides you people should start looking more into depth of the meaning behind this anime it's like most of the people saying on this thread "To bring family together" etc. etc. and besides Yuuki's death is reasonable... Heatstroke on a child is very serious especially when they explained being "Far away" from home. Yes, you might see them getting there fast from Point A to Point B but have you ever considered transportation getting you there in a few hours?... They also explained and showed them walking from town to town holding a 3-day emergency kit. Think about it walking under the heat for 3 days straight from town to town? especially on a child? everything is reasonable I'm just saying by the way... Overall GREAT ANIME! |

| I hate all these people who mark the show down just because yuki died. I mean I didn't want him to die but the emotions the death created fit with the show and I feel like that was their whole point. Also I think it wasn't heat stroke that got yuki, it was when tokyo tower fell and so metal fell on his head. At that point I think he had concussion of sorts and slowly died as the series progressed. I mean look at the symptoms: Hallucinations and vomiting and loss of appetite. Either way anime was awesome as it made me cry and think multiple times and it really got its point across. 9/10 |

I thought it was heat stroke or something because Mari mentioned it even doh nice anime overall :] |
|
| I kept thinking mirai was going to jump from the window every time she was in her room..... |
  |
| Couldn't hold it into me , i cried tbh . |
 |
| Should've seen me after I watched this episode. Crying buckets, I was. |
| /Such a sad ending still everything was getting better and coming to an end this had to happen, really great ending though but so sad to watch, started crieng a couple of times bcs it was so touching! Really great anime, loved it 9/10 |
 |
| Great anime. I think it deserves a 9/10. I still wonder what causes Yuuki's death though. Heat stroke or this(below)? ultimateninjax said: Also I think it wasn't heat stroke that got yuki, it was when tokyo tower fell and so metal fell on his head.

| i'm too lazy to post on every single episode discussion so i'll just say everything here. 8/10 5/5 for ending. why did it lose two points? ok. kinda boring at times. i was really reluctant to finish this series because the few half did not peak my interest at all. expectations: awesome action and earthquake shit.. reality: heartwarming stories about human interaction not that it's bad but i expected a bit more BOOM and CRASH um...i kinda rather watch this in a movie format. seriously, the main plot is that mirai and yuuki have to get back home safely. there's not much other stuff it needs. :| i loved some of the side stories like robot nerd and the grandma x grandpa one, but they were unnecessary. don't click the spoiler until you've watched ep11. it's also kind of episodic due to the unnecessary (but good) side stories...lol i actually watched episode 5,6,7,8 out of order by accident and it still made sense in the end... :D does this deserve a rewatch from me? maybe. i'll keep it in my hard drive for now :) |
| the problem is that I couldn't really feel sad for the characters because I DIDN'T KNOW HOW HE DIED. I was more confused during this episode than I was sad, I know he went to the hospital because he was a little ill but it wasn't death worthy and I don't even understand how you can even contract a deathly disease out of thin air. I mean you could've easily killed him off with like a falling building or something but why do you have to take him off like that. 6/10 It was a pretty decent series with a few flaws but honestly this really pushed it over the edge for me. I really wanted to feel emotion during the scene but because of the way he died I just couldn't. EDIT: I guess, I understand It could've been the pieces of building in episode 4 but the characters other than Mirai interacted with him. If Mirai was hallucinating then others peoples interaction with Yuuki wouldn't have been able to speak with the robot loving guy or anyone. |

| This anime was alright. Certainly no cliffhangers that made me want to pick up on the next episode. Seriously. It took me an entire month to start and finish this! The show was average until eps 8 and on. How they played out Yuuki's death was a little confusing (I don't search around for details like some of you), but the execution of the ending was a tear jerker. Just like with Angel Beats, Clannad, Kanon, and Ano Hana, it tugs at the tears, even though they never seem to actually fall. Feels like I should give it an 8/10. If only I actually cared about the characters more.. Edit: I wish they actually stated on the show for sure (not just Mirai saying a headache), what killed Yuuki instead of being told that it was a concussion from others. |

| Ah, you can call me a crybaby but ... [this is my blog entry I did right after I finished the show] Dear Yuuki ... Sorry guys I just ... , can't write anything more today. PS: Everything I wrote is true. {END OF BLOG ENTRY} I don't know why but I got so attached to Yuuki, Mirai-chan and Mari-san. This doesn't happen often that I get like this , I think that my delusions of being tough were smashed into pieces. But I guess I lack emotion in real life. Someone just hit me now, please. |
 |
| A really good anime. At the last episode i almost cried ^^ |
 |
| Nice final episode, but I felt it was lacking something, I don't really know what though, I liked the anime and the whole idea behind it, but somehow I still couldn't got into it as much as I wanted to. I liked the the way they built up Yuuki's death, since I found this kind of post-traumatic reaction (or whatever) from Mirai pretty realistic. It was stretched too long though, especially in the previous episode with the disappearing/reappearing. It also got a bit too much attention after it started and not enough attention for the aftermath of the earthquake. I felt like it wasn't really about the disaster at some points. The characters were likeable, so no real problem there. The show was also kind of boring a few times here and there. Like the episode about Mari's past. It felt kind of unnecessary. Overall, as much as I wanted to give this a higher score, due to the reasons above I'm gonna give it a 7/10. It was good, but it could have been much better imo. |

If Mirai was hallucinating then others peoples interaction with Yuuki wouldn't have been able to speak with the robot loving guy or anyone. Bit of an old post to reply to, but the reason he died was very likely from the impact of debris to his forehead when he saves Mirai. Ever since then his health is brought up regularly and they even mention a bump on his head - which you can write off as nothing because "anime". However, this is a realistic series, and a piece of concrete being hurled at you would cause not only a bad concussion but other possibly fatal brain trauma from the impact. He was likely bleeding into his brain, hemorrhaged, or so many other issues that can come from such an impact and easily kill you very quickly or painfully and over a few days. |

| I'm not crying! :'( |
| I hate the word “fate.” Birth, encounters, partings, success and failures, fortune and misfortunes in life. If our lives are already set in stone by fate, then why are we even born? There are those born to wealthy families, those born to beautiful mothers, and those born into the middle of war or poverty. If that’s all caused by fate, then God is incredibly unfair and cruel. Because, ever since that day, none of us had a future and the only certain thing was that we wouldn’t amount to anything. - Takakura Shouma |
| So, is Yuuki a ghost or just Mirai having delusion? |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| i watched this series from start to finish in one day. i really got into it and just couldnt stop watching. maybe thats why i actually got emotional at the end... its kinda embarrasing.. but i actually shed a tear. it was like a scene from a movie, i didnt cry, but a single tear ran down my cheek.. 10/10 for invoking that kind of emotion in me. |
 |
| I must be as weak as puddy because I cried over every emotional bit.. ;~; I swear if my body's made up of 75% of water, I must have none in me now! Truly touching and heartbreaking at the same time but WELL WORTH THE WATCH! <3 9/10 from me! |
| Do not feed the trolls! They bite ;D |
| I was glad Mari's family survived, because I was actually fearing the worst... About what happened to Yuuki, I think it was too sad, I just loved that little boy :( However, I loved this anime, because sometimes, unexpected turn of events make some animes even more worth watching ! |
 |
| This really touched me, sooo sad. I got attached to Yuuki he was a loveable character, but the way it turned out it almost brought me to tears 9/10 awesome series, brilliant story. |
 |
| weel done anime ,with realistic take on aftermath of earthquakes ,and some really painfull tearjerking moments ,was really great for me |
| - Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until they speak. - The biggest challenge in life is being yourself… In a world trying to make you like everyone else |
| Great ending to a great anime. Most of what happened though I can't say surprised me, everything went similarly to what I expected which is kind of disappointing. 9/10 |
| I really enjoyed it since I didn't realize Yuuki was dead until he kept disappearing in the school. The series overall was awesome. Made it really tough to keep my composure last few episodes. |
~ El Psy Congroo~  |
| absolutly enjoyed it, started sheding tears from about 5mins till about 18mins. one of the few to actually make me cry, not just a wet eye actuall tears |
| 1 of the only 3 anime in which I shed a tear (other 2 being Clannad AS and AnoHana). A LOT better than I thought it was going to be. 9/10. This anime needs to be seen by more people. |

| Very good and touching ending but sad that they killed off Yuuki. I though he was alive way up to this episode until it hit me. |
| Wow, I actually did not notice that Yuuki has been dead since episode 8 until after reading this thread. Great series, very sad. |
| Very touching, and great quality anime. Yuuki's death was a cliché after all (the nicest main character dies), but it was surrounded from a nice idea (his spirit follows Mirai and leads her home without nobody noticing). 8/10 for me. |
| my first watch, i cried so so much. too realistic it was scary. empathy all the way. 2nd watch was ok; you get your head around more; thou it wasnt supposed to be a show you can rewatch to get the same impact hated Mirai at first, but glad that she got development in her character. one of the saddest things you can ever experience in your life. and as a child, even. not all kids get to grieve and still not save the world. |
| its strange that people really hated Mirai that much, or am i the strange one here ......coz i like her ...... nice ending, i even shed some tears. |
gino_san said: its strange that people really hated Mirai that much, or am i the strange one here ......coz i like her ...... nice ending, i even shed some tears. This is probably the only anime where I haven't hated the fact that the main lead is so damn pessimistic. It usually makes me so annoyed at the character, but this time it didn't, no idea why though. |
Mr. Wonsworth, you may NOT eat my scones! |
| just finished watching and very sad ending |

| WOW! Can't expect her brother would die. the last two episodes really shock me to tears. 8/10 from me |
 |
| Honestly, this show alone made me cry more than the rest of Clannad. |
| "Everyone wears their own panties inside their heart" - Kousaku Hata |
| Y'know, unless the debris from the drink store had a large impact on Yuuki's health alone, I don't think he would have died if Mirai hadn't argued with him at that park. That caused him to walk toward the Tokyo Tower where he was then hit on the head and received that bump/suspected concussion. |

| it's shame, i hate bad ending... this show failed to make me cry. maybe because lack of soundtrack quality? :/ |
     |
| One of my favorites. Really enjoyed watching it. I cried a lot I guess because it remind me of my brother and I. |
| oh my god...i just can't describe how much feels i had at the final episodes..one of the saddest animes i'v seen 9/10 |
| A little late to the party (heck, it's more like a funeral), but just finished watching the series on Blu-ray this evening. Last episode was hard to take. No young girl should lose her little brother like that. Poor girl was delusional for quite some time after that. And Yuuki was such a good kid. Smart, cared a lot for his older sister, and a total optimist with a positive sense of life. He was a bright light in an otherwise depressing post-apocolyptic world. After his death, I became concerned that Mirai was losing it, mentally. I'm relieved that she finally came to terms with it, so she can go on living as a sane person, but she will forever bear the guilt of arguing with him that time that he ran away and got hit in the head with falling debris when Tokyo tower fell. This is a burden she will carry for the rest of her years. In the beginning, Mirai seems fatalistic and spoiled, and the way events started out, it seemed like she got what she 'wished' for. Of course, that's more than she bargained for. The next three days would be a painful growing experience for her. I think the visit from Mari at the end was as it should have been. She was a person who put aside her own worries to look after these two kids for several days, through rough conditions and very dangerous aftershocks. Her visit and the tender moments she shared remembering Yuuki with Mirai were cathartic for both of them. They needed some sort of closure. The birthday gift for mom was an important part of that, as is the fact that Yuuki lives on in the hearts of the other members of his family. Anyone who has lost a loved one has probably experienced this. Very excellent series, but just too damned devastating in the end. It can't be helped. It's tragic. But there is also hope in the memories and the reconstruction of Tokyo. I think this was an appropriate ending. I can't say that I "enjoyed" it. It was painful to endure their tragedy, even vicariously. I would say that I was more 'impressed' with it, than enjoyed it. It was one of the most emotionally-moving series ever. Had the same impact as Grave of the Fireflies, but with the difference being there is hope for the future in "Tokyo Magnitude 8.0." |
| Ending was a tad sad, but to me don't even come near anohana .9/10 Yukii was my favorite characther. |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |
| I think Yuuki died from complications from a concussion. He was vomiting, had headaches, confusion, fatigue, etc. Something was missing from the anime but I can't put my finger on it. Regardless I cried a bit at the end. 7/10 maybe 8 |
