Fucking bridge scene with Linda and past Banri ruined everything
Linda hugging and seeing what is supposed to be a fraction of Banri's past memory but apparently not because it can fucking pick up a ring that fell in a river.

It's great that Kaga ended up with Banri and that he remembers everything but we got a big fuck you for the rest of the characters.

Mediocre Time

ahahah thats true he picked the fking ring,i mean like come on,that ring fell into river earlier that day.And + it was past banri who dropped it.How the fk is ring still there ? And how past banri knew about the ring ?

Terrible ending not even because it was a look and banri ending but how it was executed was essentially sloppy and kind of predictable. It made it look as if koko had planned it to happen that way. Seriously I was actually fine with this episode until that part where he saw the mirror complete and under bs


true that,i mean like,he already saw the fking miror several times.And somehow he remembered everything while koko was at his home town.It must be magic !

I don't have much to say regarding this ending except that this finale made me feel so complete. Yes, Banri becoming whole by seeing himself in Koko's mirror was.... um cliche? I guess. Or maybe deus ex machina? Maybe. Either way, despite how Banri arrived at his destination. It was wonderful. Despite its flaws, Golden Time is a show that I will happily rewatch sometime in the future and is one of my favorite romantic comedies. 9/10

I'm sorry, but where did anyone watch this that wasn't so horribly off-sync? All the vids I found had sound and video off-sync by 3-5 secs and it bugged me so much I stopped, but I still want to watch this. (video was 27 mins long... pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to be) And then I peeked at the end of the video and the screen was grey...

Kouko was always my favorite girl so for me it was less about her ending up with Banri and more about her being happy in the end, which she is with Banri so I'm pleased.

Really wish 2D-kun and Nana had gotten together though, or at least had more screen time.

The past Banri ghost, though... I just cannot get behind that, or how Banri and Linda suddenly saw him in the end. I don't think her feelings and Banri's feelings are that complicated, they loved each other in the past and she understands that he's a different person now who's in love with someone else. If anything, that frees her to find her own happiness.

The linda butt hurt is fricken hilarious. I mean really guys you thought that this was still possible in the last episode? Get a clue people

As a whole the episode was rushed and left some unexplained things, but really i dont care cause i got to see closure and completion. So many anime's leave you hoping for a 2nd season, its good this one was a complete package.

I enjoyed this show. The only thing I didn't really like was "ghost" Banri and the bridge part with him at the end. I wish they had made it more clear what was going on with that.

Though I enjoyed the ending, I think I would have preferred the memories of past Banri to merge with current Banri. It would have made choosing who to go with more difficult, but it would also make Banri feel more complete (and make the ending feel more complete as a result).

I thought this last episode wasn't quite as good as most of the rest of the show. It was cute and wrapped everything up successfully, but it felt a little as though they were stretching to make the happy ending.

I personally would have preferred if this one episode had been extended to 2-3 episodes, Banri hadn't regained his memories, and he and Koko re-formed their relationship from scratch. I think it would have been tough for Koko to accept, but I think it's a little better than an ending that glosses over the obvious fact that Banri still might have memory issues. A longer finale would have also given more time to provide a more satisfactory resolution for the other characters, who, aside from Linda, don't get much attention or screen time in the finale.

well dude,we were up for linda x banri cuz they had the whole past spent together,and koko is with him like few mounths?Linda is better person.But ye it was obvious that he will finish with koko.Yet,im happy that Linda said she loves him(past banri),so it was enough for me.If that didnt happen' i would feel like everything great that happend between those 2 means nothing.

Wow, sorry to say this, but the ending was quite lame.

Sure, the writer might have been the same as Toradora's, but to even make the ending the same as Toradora? They sure lack some creativity lately.

Also, the scene with Koko on the bridge: Listen carefully to the music, then watch the scene in the second last episode of Toradora where Ryuuji runs after Taiga. BAM, almost identical.

Yeah.. I'm a bit disappointed, the last few episodes were too rushed. Not much closure for other important characters like Oka or Yana. Ah well. Overall I'd give this whole series a 6/10 max.

Obvious but happy ending. I used to ship KokoxBanri but since episode 20 I stopped but I'm happy this show ended like this.
So Old Banri went to the river and gave the ring to current Banri... That surprised me, both existed at the same place, like the bridge was a place where they could talk or something. And it was foggy too.
Linda-senpai moved on and started to like Yana, I didn't expect that.
2D-kun did a nice move there, forcing Koko to try going after Banri again.
I'm not really sure if rate this with an 8 or a 9 so, I'll give it 8.5/10.
I'm learning English so maybe I make mistakes :)

Several people had already commented in earlier episodes that the LN did not push the love triangle between Koko, Linda, and Banri that (over)excited anime viewers. I thought it was a pretty good romance, and it brought back a lot of bittersweet memories of my undergrad years. I never saw Linda as a serious prospect (or maybe she just reminded me too much of an unrequited love interest in the past). I'm just glad Kokou and Banri got together in the end.

But yes, I will officially promote 2D-Kun to 3D....what a bro!

Wow... I'm seeing people rating a show solely on its ending? What a bunch of a$$holes! Golden time on a whole was great I loved it. Its no nagi no asukara but its still a 9/10. I shipped linda but I expected it and I was happy she admitted to loving banri and was nice enough to let him go to koko. I was 60% linda 40% koko and The lot of you seems to forget everything that happened throughout this series and just get butt hurt.

Great show screw the haters! 9/10!

Phew its finally over! It was a happy ending but still disappointing and lacklustre. What was the point of Banri losing his memories and going crazy just to regain them right after. Its like all the built up drama got thrown out the window. I don't know if this was rushed or what? Well at least the the OST was good.

I'll give it a 6/10. It started out strong but got progressively worse each episode.

Hooray for a proper romance ending.

I have enjoyed the series overall, I didn't like the inconclusive ending with other character relationships (Yana, Linda, 2D-kun, Oka) and the whole Banri drama too much but I liked the characters themselves as well as the occasional comedic moment.

I'm giving it a 7/10, this and Kill La Kill are my favourite anime of the Autumn 2013 season.

It would've been better if this particular episode was expanded into two episodes, making this 25 episodes long, but hey we get what we get. One of the best anime this season IMO.

The show overall wasn't great at all. The writer lacked too much creativity and kind of nabbed some of the old ideas from Toradora.

Even the directors/writers of the anime couldn't save the lack of creativity. Most episodes were too rushed. The show consisted of just a few great, well-written episodes and the majority was just filled with the usual "OH SNAP. We need some drama now to keep people hooked".

Only great thing about the show was probably the character development, but even there it lacked a bit.

AHHHHHH! I got so trolled at the bridge scene when Linda came running in! I like Linda, and even Nana a trillion times more than Koko, but I'll try and not hold that against the anime. It feels a bit bitter, but if I calm down and think about it, Linda deserves better than Banri (Mitsuo will supply that it seems ^^). Also, Koko literally needs Banri, she isn't as strong as Linda, and it would be hard to find someone else who can accept all of her forever.

Now, back to the bridge scene, I'll just pass that as "some supernatural shit", which had been hinted throughout the series. It did get the job done.

Some nice friendship from the group, they coordinated perfectly. Even Linda once again shines in this criteria, she supported him even at the end.

Ah, there's so much more but... all in all...

Golden Time, thanks for the experience.

I was laughing hard with that b.s ghost scene. I didn't even understand what happened or why did that happen. Linda was there too for some unknown reason. That was complete bullshit and all I could do was laugh at it.

Imo this series failed with story and animation. Well, I'm not sure about using the word "fail" in the story but the animation sure failed hard. The story didn't deliver. It was disappointing for me.

I still enjoyed some of the episodes though. The reason being Koko and 2D-kun being really amazing characters. Those two characters were the reason I continued watching this series till the end. Meanwhile, Banri.. specifically ghost-banri can just go to other series like corpse party and get murdered badly that you won't even get tor recognize his face anymore. That is if you can murder a ghost.

Anyways, I'm good with the happy ending of Koko x Banri. Not like it wasn't obvious since the start though.

Great anime over-all, although the ending was corny, I'm just glad there was a happy ending. I liked both Linda and Koko. Unfortunate ending for Linda though. If only she'd tell banri that she would've said yes 10 episodes ago, they could've been together! Anime
