| I really need to get this of my chest: Now, don't get me wrong, I have no problem with Shingo picking Miu, per se. It's the story line I have a problem with!! The problem is that the writers of this show are contradicting themselves. Let's back to the episode where Sena says that Shingo is different than the other boys. She repeats it like some mantra on a subliminal self help tape!! Then, before you know it they decide to scrap that story line and go this route. Hence, making Shingo a pimp and Sena someone that will never trust another man ever again. The only thing I ask from any story I read or watch in the movies or on TV is that the writer keeps the story in context and (somewhat) consistent. The last few episodes of this show would be like Carmela from the "The Sopranos" whacking Tony during the last episode and then telling everyone she was a FBI agent all along. I know I AM asking for TOO MUCH from a anime series, but the reason DON'T watch TV that much any more is the laziness of the writers nowadays. Now I see that same laziness finding its way into WAY TOO MANY animes over the last few seasons. I haven't felt this burnt by a series since the Haruhi Suzumiya's Endless Eight and the last two episodes of Shuffle. (Hell, the girl I liked the most got picked in that show too...I just didn't like how they got there!!) Now, I have to go re-watch "Maria-sama ga Miteru" to get this bad taste out of my mouth!!! |

Then, before you know it they decide to scrap that story line and go this route. It could also be seen this way: - Airi's impressions of boys are: dirty, mean, unsophisticated - Airi though Shingo is different ---> He's special ---> he's tidy, kind and sensible. If you rewatch episode 5 or 6 again, you would notice the melancholic smile of Airi when she said: "That's just how he is" You can understand that by being tidy, kind and sensible, he's opened to everyone, not just her, she realized that Shingo's kindness is not something exclusive to everyone. This showed as well if you compare Sana's impression of Shingo in episode 10, when she, unlike Airi, mistook Shingo's kindness for affection. That's why, if you watch episode 11, Airi will kinda say it more probably for the viewer :) |

I'll never make that mistake ever again!! (No Offense!) I'm gonna have to go back to waiting for a series to finish before I watch it, so I DON'T get disappointed like this again! Anyways, back to Maria-sama!! |

| Woah, that's a lot of posts. |
| bla bla - your bashing sucks! I was quite surprised that he chose Miu all of a sudden, maybe he got more attached to her after taking so much care of her,lately. Judging from the opening he should end up with Airi later, but I can't imagine how they want to turn this around in the 2 or3? remaining episodes. Sana's behaviour led to this situation and I don't think Shingo would have answered to her feelings anyway. Well, but since she's one of my favorite characters I feel very sorry for her. Would have been nice if they had one episode dedicated to Airi's and Sana's relation ship. Airi was really kind to her in that last scene, heads up Sana ^^ |

| I don't really care who will "win", but about the confession scene, how to say... I feel that shingo was carried by the mood to comfort and protect Miu. Pity or love, the difference maybe tiny or huge IMO. For Miu I hope he's really serious now. Anyway it was really hard to see Sana like this... for me the "good ending" should be Miu x Sana. But it's just a dream. |
leefan said: Airi x Sana end confirmed? Yes, please. |
| Well that caught me off guard... I was not expecting him to confess but I did see a Miu ending coming. Even though she isn't my first choice I'm glad he picked someone very happy |
 |
| Hmmm....I thought Shingo suddenly going for Miu was a bit sudden. I don't remember him showing any romantic favoritism towards anyone in particular, he was just being nice to all of them equally. I think ultimately I prefer Sana/Shingo because Sana has shown strongest feelings for Shingo even if she has yet to show it in front of Shingo in an obvious way. Sana would also be the more needy girl compared to the others. It's like in Toradora, Minorin gave up Ryuuji because Taiga needed...erm wanted Ryuuji more. I also agree with some people a couple post back. I sense a possible Miu giving up Shingo for a Shingo/Sana ending! |
| How weird, he just randomly decides to fall in love with Miu. I don't really think he's actually "in love" with Miu yet. |
| I literally paused the episode exactly when Shingo said "I love you" to Miu and screamed, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"!!! Miu is fine... but I really wanted him to get together with Airi soooo bad... er... kinda depressing but oh well. =/ |
 |
| Miu who was I liked right away. It seemed rather natural about now. Thought for sure they'd throw an Airi end at us still. she's still around just to console Sana. the losers club lol. while the sister and maid are outside in the never had a chance club. |
 |
| Wow, I am so glad that this pairing happened. It's probably because Sena is supposed to win. |

| i cry'd a lill , is that bad ? |
 |
| Yea, not too hot on chosing Miu, I'm most definitely a Sana fanboy myself. |
| Omg Sena nooo )': |
  |
| I almost instantly dropped this Anime because Shingo didn't end up with Sena... but I decided to keep watching to gawk more at Sena's moe. |
| |
| Holy shit, Airi didn't win? Wowowowowow did not see that coming. Usually the first girl seen in a harem always wins. I'm glad it's Miu. Even though I feel sorry for Sana, I dislike her character. |
 |
| I thought Shingo will end up with Airi! 😣💔 *Criessss* |
| uhh... |
| I wasn't surprised he chose Miu after the few last episodes, but with Sana breaking down it got somewhat heavier. My favorite girl is Sana for quite a while, so I'm sad to see him saying that. I can't remember any show where the main character chose to girl I wanted him to choose, so annoying. But this show is quite unusual for this genre anyway, at least they didn't go for the first girl. |
| I'm surprised by who he chose. I was so sure he was going to chose Airi. Well I would prefer a Sana ending but Miu is still a good choice. This show succeeds as a harem. |

| T_T tears!! everywhere!! |

| What the fuck happened to airi? did she forget she liked shingo too? they havent had any dialogue together for a long time, it just broke off and its maddening. I hated sana so i dont mind Miu at all but it seemed really sudden and its a bit weird that a confession already happened two episodes away from the finale. Oh well, my dreams for the incest ending have shattered, i had high hopes from the first few episodes...but not anymore... |
| Y u no choose Sana or Airi Shingo? Why is it always the senpai? ( Shuffle if you dont know that anime..) and theres not even a patch for the visual novel so i could get airi D: |
 |
| I feel sorry for Sana, the scene where she started crying really impacted me, i just can't get the scene out of my head, my heart starts to feel heavy and makes me want to cry. I really can't believe that Shingo chose Miu, there were a lot of moments where i thought that it will be Airi. But Miu is still a great choice. |
| Well that was sudden! Good episode though but it's sad to see Sana cry that much... even I preferred the Airi x Shingo tbh good that there's a special that has this! But yea good episode, I still wonder what Pannya is from time to time, especially now with that backstory! |
 |
| fckkkking amazing romance love drama! Shingo confessed his love to Miu :OOO, and Sana cried from being heartbroken T_T! So IMPACTIVE @_@ 5/5 again! |

Zavie said: the golden post here, this is good review quality for the anime.Imo, I think you guys need to look more into the development between Airi and Shingo. Sure, there were developments coming from Airi, and she's obvious interested in Shingo. But vice versa? I didn't really feel that way from Shingo, he just treats her as he would do to anybody he meets, there was some awkward moments, but that was simply because Airi is a girl and Shin is a boy, no more than that. As for Sana, all the tsundere acts really shot her in the knee. We watcher can tell that she's interested in Shingo. But how would Shingo feel when he gets kicked in the stomach every five sentences he speaks? With a choice of a gentle option like Miu (and he's fancied her since ep 1 if you watch carefully enough), you shouldn't be surprised when he goes for Miu instead of Sana. He's not obligated to understand Sana's tantrum when his relationship with her is considerably good. That main point is, Airi saw through Shingo that he's just another nice girl, that he would be nice to everybody. Unlike Sana expected Shingo to her exclusive shinning amour knight. Shingo's kindness despite Sana's obvious tantrum really grow the false hope in her, and she refused anyway other wise, hence the result we all saw, Shingo fell in love with Miu. In the end, Sana was tring to hard to cling to existed status quo, just be heart-broken at that "swing scene". That was really emotionally, and I am greatly sorry for her, hopefully Manglobe can resolve this in a way that make Sana be able to stand up and smile again. Excellent episode indeed! |

Tenchi_Ryu said: Golden post number 2 XD! watch the anime and let the story take you as it is, not as what you "think" the story is, unless the anime random and it makes 0 sense, but this is not the case as Symphony is a anime that progresses in a very well-balanced manner, there are no confusions, and the thoughts and feelings of our characters are clearly detailed.Listen people, just because she might not be your favorite girl, don't delude yourselves. Miu was always in Shingo's eyes since episode 1. When they first met, she was the only girl to make him blush. Through-out the entire show, they showed how Shingo was attracted to her. It was NEVER this for Airi or Sana, he was only being nice, that's how he is. Saying the show is worst just cause your girl didn't win is very petty, and if you didn't realize Miu was the winner 2 episodes ago, your love for your girl blinded you. And if you still think Sana can win, you are clearly in denial now. Finally we have a Male lead that can think for himself, and chooses what HE wants. He never liked Airi like that, and Sana shot herself in the foot from day one with the "man-hater" attitude. It makes perfect sense why Shingo doesn't like her. |

| GOOD EPISODE! MIU DESERVES THAT CONFESSION! She's way too perfect for being a girlfriend (gentle, caring, & beautiful). Who men wouldn't fall for a girl like that ( REALISTICALLY! ) That's why I'm very very happy Shingo confesses to Miu , to the extent that i might jump off a bridge XD . Not so typical harem anime huh? What a twist. About Sana being a "tsundere". More like a bitch in denial for her feelings. Not hatin' just saying. 9/10 -> but for that confession 10/10 |
 |
| Man I am not a big fan of Sana but it was very depressing to see her in such a state, Airi held it together well but I guess shes just a lot stronger than the other girls emotionally or she came to a realization early on in the show. |
| Well thanks show. Now I have all these feels that I don't know what to do with. I was routing for Sana but If no one else wants her... dibs? |
 |
| I never cared for Sana to win but damn they did a good job making me feel sorry for her. I almost wish they'd rewind and give her a shot now. I hope they don't do that though, or throw some stupid curve ball like Miu feeling bad for Sana and giving Shingo to her, and Shingo just happens to fall in love with her in 1-2 episodes. |
| Very nice episode, my favorite one yet. It's not to common for a harem lead to do this and for that, respect. If Shingo ends up with Miu, that would be better than a Sana or harem ending. But I have a feeling this anime won't let it end like this and somehow Miu and Shingo do not end up together... Still pulling for an Airi ending since she is the best. |

| Sympathy right off the bat. "I love you" my ass. |
 |
| im a Airi fan so im not happy with this |
| Kudos for Shingo actually making a decision. But I'm bummed Airi hasn't got any attention since the bathing scene. She's by far the most interesting and capable character imho. |
