Though there were some cliche parts, still loved the ending. Great ost and loved the entire MIB thing. The show was good but Rinon, Remon, and the music definitely made it much better. One of my favorites of this season....thinking 8/10.

WHAT? I though they did a excellent job with the Karaoke of the OP and kudos to them for that one. I will terribly miss the OP of this series. It was a totally joy for my throat to sing it out. Good powerful intonations.


Who gives a fuck about karaoke for generic J-pop song #257683?

yea they do a good job like translating "baka" as "cow" and using "cockblock" or "it's gonna rape me"

Pretty decent..... only thing that sucked where Coalguys terrible troll subs.

I have to agree with the subs.
Liked the anime alot.


Shoulda' went with Commie.


Commie is just a bad.

The only one who subbed this decently was Hayaku but they take forever.

and Nemdiggers was kinda okay if your desperate.

JC Staff +1 for you.

You actually did a good show this time and I honestly enjoyed the whole ride.
I liked that the Alien genre in the ending episode stood out the most and that it was useful, not only for the heroine but to introduce MIB into the picture. If something is to be said is that they definitively wanted to show that Remon has the connections needed to introduce Earth to the Federation. Either this means she got the job there because of her actions or that she was already working there because of, let's say: Onegai Teacher, but I don't like linking two anime like this.

9/10 mostly for the enjoyment and flow. Execution could had been better, but in comparison with other shows this season, it was well done, especially for the genre.

If they do make the ova, or if it is confirmed. I would love to see progress with the Mio x Tetsurou pair and then some development with the MC and heroine.

Good show overall.

Typical JCStaff.. Love the ending
People fight about how Kaito do when Ichika get caught
But then logically nothing can be done..This show is too realistic which I approved it.
At the earlier of anime I don't think Tomatsu Haruka can pull out Ichika character as her voice is as I always knew..high pitch.
In the end she really put an amazing job bringing a lot of emotion for this anime. Really can't stand listening her crying...it is too real for me and too sad..good job Haruka...Looking forward for another tear jerking anime from you.

As for other character..As always the senpai Tamura Yukari and Yui Horie, though just side character..still brings a lot of impact.

Overall ano natsu de matteru..i wonder if this anime is really aired during summer..sure brings better feeling than watching it during winter lol♠

I literally watched the last 11 episodes waiting for the scene where they reminisce while viewing their product, after Ichika leaves. I probably would have liked it better if she didn't come back. I liked the anime, though there were many episodes I didn't care for, there were many scenes that were done well.

Those alien pursuers look like Pokemon. And Lemon was M.I.B.? Nice try, J.C. Staff, but she was neither a man, nor black.

this show was good for the most part but it fell apart, at least for me it did, when the two MCs actually started their relationship, and i thought the ending was kinda weak

Aww, so after all that hard work, Ichika had to leave after all... though given the title that's to be expected.

Remon fights back against the alien spaceship with rocket launchers! Easily the most awesome and badass character.

I was kinda disappointed that the relationships of the other three characters didn't go anywhere. They had their moments but it felt like they're superfluous at times.

Pretty Good anime gave 8/10. I'm going to just think she came back, but I don't think they should have used the last five seconds to show she did so. The ending would have been decent if she never came back as well. (For me at least)

Well I am giving this a 10/10 because I loved the story and emotion of the series from start to finish. And from what I have been reading, this maybe really does tie in with Onegai Teacher, which I have yet to watch. I might have enjoyed this series even more if I watched that first.

That was a good ending. Gonna miss this series though. Anyway Ichika did come back because at the end, she wore the souvenir that was brought months after ichika left earth. Was that voice really Mizuho-sensei from Onegai Teacher? also the lake scene from the Onegai franchise (Teacher and Twins).

I love it when people use words to describe how I feel better than I can ever do it myself haha

"To the end itself, of course many viewers will be dissatisfied that there was no on-screen reunion, that much was inferred and not spelled out. I enjoyed this understated approach, though"

"We didn’t get a neat, conventional ending in a series where the relationships weren’t neat, but messy and complicated – for me, that’s exactly as it should be."

I really can't express into words how I felt at the ending. She DID come back! I'm a sucker for romance and love stories and this anime delivers more than I could've asked! I'm totally satisfied with it!

It's rare for me to watch an anime non stop. This one just made me feel at the edge. Each episode left me with a cliffhanger that would make me want to watch the next episode right away. It's got everything I'd want. Enough drama to be satisfied but not depressed. Enough comedy and randomness without going overboard and above everything else, the sweet spot of romance and love. The way they mixed it was simply perfect.

It's been a long time since I watched Onegai Teacher, I really appreciated it, but this one in my opinion just made everything RIGHT. It left me with that warm fuzzy feeling I've been longing since I watched Toradora. Being the anime genre I like the most, this gets a 10/10 from me. Totally worth it every minute of my time.

sad its ended. was one of my top to watch series this seaosn. i did like it. especially the MIB dudes coming out and the HQ remon went to rofl. reminded me of the men in black movies haha. i did see she came back and loved that. thought it wouldve been more touching, probably is but i expected a ton more. was the voice at the end when they reachthe place mizuho sensei?


That's what some people have been saying. I couldn't really tell. I am curious as to what was written on the tree. I assume it was something written by Mizuho and Kei.

Ah it says "Mizuho" read around and found that. That makes this even better.


I'd say it's an easter egg more than anything though....Mostly because the voice said she was forced to leave. Mizuho wasn't, as well as this series gave off the vibe that the alien federation didn't know about planet Earth, however in Onegai, they had a name for it....Was a bunch of numbers but still.

Needless to say, it was a very nice EP, but the drama was way too nice to end it with a simple "Oh look, she's back" rather than a potential second season with Kaito going after Ichika (with the obvious help of Remon), more drama...
Maybe i'm overthinking too much, but the tears became shallow after that ending.

AHAHAHAHA LOL @ Remon actually being part of MIB xD They were frequently hinting at her being something else, but I never expected her to actually be an MIB xD

And ahhhh... the Toradora ending... I reckon they could've done this ending much better, but I'm fine with it :) I'm just happy that Ichika comes back, cuz I was willing to bump this down 2 points if she didn't. lol. A bad ending would've been fine, but I just didn't want this anime to have one. xD

7.5/10

I honestly don't think this would have an S2, but an OVA would be nice :D

Also, did this anime end up actually being directly connected to Onegai Teacher? I haven't watched it yet so I don't know. It seemed like the female 'alien' narrator was from it though. It would be awesome if they were connected :D

Umm fine anime I guess...

So let me get this straight:
Ichika managed to return in the end cuz the Men in Black organization managed to reverse-engineer at least some sort of spaceship prototype that could travel at superluminal speeds thanks to Rino's assistance (and possibly Ichika's sister) within the span of several years therefore upgrading Earth's status and allowing "first contact" with this Galactic Organization?? Riiiight... well at least things worked out in the end. Oh and Remon WAS quite cool, hands-down my favorite character.

The MIB part was the best scene in the whole series. Everything else is just a bad mix of bad romance and pointless sci-fi crap.
And in the end she obviously came back. Hah, what's the damn point of the whole parting scene then? Fuck this shit.

Why did it had to end but I guess this is what makes it special.I got teary eyed too..

I was disappointed a little with the ending, but Inoue Kikuko as the narrator in the last episode sent chills up my spine because I have always been a very big fan of Onegai Teacher and of hers. Very nice touch for a anime that reminded me in so many ways of each other. Ironically, almost 10 years to the day that Onegai Teacher finished it's run on WOWOW . . .

For how many shows already did Tomatsu Haruka made me cry with her heartbreaking cry and this is another show to add on the list. Fantastic episode. Awesome closure. And of course, the beautiful ED comes in on the perfect timing as usual.

Of course Ichika came back. "They're playing the movie AGAIN this year". Ichika having the coat Kai's sister got from Bolivia. I think people just want to see more of this series.
I personally I liked this episode a lot.
Some people are complaining about all the stuff said in the episode such as memories etc.
However I think that is what made this episode because it ties everything together.
It explains why Kai is always recording. How he is coping with the loss of his parents.
It also gives more meaning towards the message left by the alien who crash landed in the past.
The fact that the tree with the mark was destroyed shows that even though the world may forgotten about people's memories of the past, these memories would still live on in people's hearts.
I also loved the MIB at the end. It explained Remon and the husband.

Okay, that was kind of fantastic. I still don't like Ichika, but this episode definitely revealed Kaito's thoughts and motivations behind the whole thing.

It's a simple, but honest truth. People want to leave some record of themselves behind, something that will outlast their mortal lives. That's one of the reasons I think people are so afraid of death - after you're gone, you will be remembered only by what you've left behind, and even that will only last so long till even your memories are forgotten.

Lemon is still the best ever.
