| LOL REMON IS ACTUALLY FROM THE MIB!?!?? That was freakin hilarious! The whole Anime was pretty average to me but the last 2 episodes saved it for me. Was a pretty fun watch overall. =p Overall Score: 6/10 |
 |
-LovelyTsundere said: A boring, cliche, cheesy and predictable anime that threw in the alien genre just to raise conflict and try to make it different. The only character I even liked was Remon. Everyone else I could careless for. Can't see why everyone is fawning over it. You must be new to the harem genre. 5/10 average at best. Considering lowering to a 4. Bro! 5/10 too. |

Cratex said: I've posted my overall thoughts on this series on Kat's Anime Blog. nice review I would only argue with visual part - but it's simply me liking how they were changing sometimes colors (most visible in opening) but they were doing sometimes in series - with increasing or decreasing saturation of colors and I always thought that Remon has no game or plan... she was doing it for teh lulz :) |

|
| The plot at times was a little ... eh ... hokey... but like others have said the last two episodes made the series. The ending was simply in one word "perfect" :) |
 |
| Perfect Bittersweet ending. I am kinda used to happy endings so I really felt bad when Ichika was all crying over Kaito and vice versa.... It made me feel a little bit uneasy at first but then when i was watching through the last minutes, It think it made me all up to be happy though i have some grudges at the end 'cause it was pretty awful but then again, It was a Very Good series after all. There should be an OVA coming soon so that we'll know what really happened to Ichika back when she was ordered to come back and when she came back to see everyone at the end. Apart from that, I'll Give this a 9/10 Very Good series with a light and hearwarming plot that everyone can relate into 'cause it somehow depicts some real life situations on love. |
| Freaking Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones blowing shit up! Was a good watch with great character, meh story and a decent ending. 7/10 |
| Leave it to Will Smith to save a couple in love. MIB Japan branch sounded really cool and it does explain about all the toys Lemon was using and how she always appeared at the locations with that camera. The ending wasn't bad really and it looks like we might get a OVA hope it's a good one. What bothered be about this anime was the number of cliff hangers which was almost every episode. |
| Shit ending for a shit show. At least Ichika DID come back. |
 |
| So Lemon wasn't an alien, she was part of the MIB. Lol what the hell, them rocket launchers just came outta nowhere. And even Tetsurou's sisters husband is MIB, lol what in the world. Lemon is the best character in the show no doubt. They was pretty sad watching the two of them being forced to say good bye, and it got even sadder when Lemon gave them the film. It just showed all the events they've been through + that song being a perfect fit, reliving everything again sure made my eye teary. Dno why but when it flashes to the future and they mention the film being shown again, it just made me feel empty knowing they've all grown up and its been years since that summer happened. Well that was before they showed Ichika at the end of the film! Looks like she came back!?! |
 |
| Remon sempai: best troll of 2012. I knew Remon was MIB, it was the first thing she said to Ichika when they started filming. Remon never lies! |

| I literally LOL-ed when the MIB came out because it was so ridiculously over the top but in a good way. Never would have expected Lemon was part of MIB and she looks awesome in that suit as well. Also i find it sweet that Kaito left behind the video of that summer that they spent and showing that Ichika came back was well done. And to that ancestor's voice i really hope it was Mizuho's voice actor cause that would be really neat. All in all this was a good series which i was anticipating since its a ten year anniversary of Onegai Teacher and i thoroughly enjoyed it throughout along with the awesome song such as Kotoko singing the OP again and Nagi-sama singing that wonderful ending and it being played at every ED really made it memorable. The final episode was also able to play the OST's with the scene beautifully so I give this a 9/10. P.S. Really hoping for an OVA, would love to see what happens after the final episode thats if they followed what Onegai Teacher and Twins did. |

Cratex said: Mostly because the relationship conflict is the essence of most of this show (with the alien thing coming as a climactic ending and nothing else) while Clannad leaves the love triangle to a minority of the show. It was still there though although it was pretty obvious who Tomoya would choose. Technically it was also obvious who was gonna be chosen in Ano Natsu too... only Tetsurou's triangle was ambiguous and the sad part is that it remained ambiguous since he never chose.Leon-Gun said: I suppose we could argue the definitions, but I don't consider Ano Natus De Matteru a harem.

| The only thing that makes me sad is the fact that there's a possibility that Mizuho got arrested by the federation and got her memory erased.... No.......... Mizuho is a sweethear!! More naive than Ichika, i can't imagine her getting arrested :( |
| Oh hey, this ending was pretty mint. Better than I expected it to be. The "Mizuho" was a very nice touch. All in all, great anime. But Tetsurou and Mio not ending up together was a disappointment. Even though its kind of obvious they will. |
 |
| As for the Mizuho reference, this is a bit of a spoiler, so I'll tag it just to be safe |

| I demand a clear ending. |
 |
| This has has to be the surprise of the winter 2012 anime releases along with Another i guess. I never expected this to be that Excellent in every way. I feel like when everytime i think about this, plus the OP and ED, It makes me go back to some unforgettable scenes/moments and scenery of this one. I feel like crying too. It's been 4 days now since the date of when i finished this series and I can't still get over it. Probably one of the best romance sci fi series this year. I have no regrets of taking it this year. Good Anime Series. Apart from that, I think Hyouka does have the same feel of this. I dunno but let's see but I hope It does. I've been looking for these kind of dramas nowadays lol ;D |
| A lot of people are saying the ending wasn't clear enough. I think it is pretty simple to infer that -Lemon and the MIB, with Rinon's help and the data collected during Ichika's stay on Earth, were able to make great strides in intersteller travel. This would lead to joining the Galactic Federation and being able to contact Ichika again. -Ichika DID come back. Based on what she was wearing in the film as well as Kaito's dialogue (You broke your spaceship? Again?) one can assume she came back. I guess you could poke holes in it or fear for the worst, but I think it is easy to imagine a happy ending. |
| A summer they won't forget, and an anime that I won't forget, either. The joke was on me when the M.I.B. turned out to be real, and Lemon was telling the truth all along. That name etched on the tree and the memories that person left behind practically confirms the connection to a certain anime. Heh, their film became a club classic film showing tradition after they graduated. Their plan failed, but in the end I think they were able to see each other again. It is strongly implied that Ichika was able to return, though it's too bad we never got to see it, or what happened to them after graduation.

This is basically what the ending montage and epilogue tried to show. In fact, I think not only Rinon, but Ichika's ship was also left behind, giving the M.I.B. access to valuable technology samples for interstellar travel development. |
| This series was so good. Loved every episode, definitely a surprise for me because I completely overlooked this show. Only DL'd it after finding out Nagi did the ED. 9/10 overall. |

| This show is SO the biggest troll of the year. Really one of the best J.C. Staff I've watched up to now. Sebulon said: Mmm... I was sure I saw that cloth Ichika was wearing somewhere about the middle of the show too in a scene, even though it is/looks very much like the one from Bolivia and probably is. Maybe they should have skipped that part for the better.The ending was a little confusing. First they lead us to believe that Ichika leaves and doesn't come back, but in the last 5 seconds of the episode it shows Ichika wearing the cloth that Kaito's sister brought from Bolivia. I was a little disappointed, I wanted the ending to be more emotional, it was just like "look, she came back". Meh, they should've just showed when she came back, hugged Kaito and kissed him, would've been much more epic way to end it. And THEN show them watching the finished movie together. SayakaMagica said: Good reasoning, makes a lot of sense.Agreed. This is basically what the ending montage and epilogue tried to show.

| So much better than Ano Hana. I'm a bit disappointed with the ending, of course, but it was done well enough. "would've been much happier about it if they didn't give me a giant fuck you with the implication ending. you don't do that shit in romances. YOU JUST DON'T." That was a skype rant. lolololol. Still, it was pretty good. Cute, even. |
| Great anime, 9/10. Was hoping to see Ichika return in a proper way. But I'm ok with this one too. Lemon beeing part of MIB was awesome XD MIB in the anime was awesome. |
 |
| Great anime for me. I really want to see a clear ending as well. I'm pretty sure she came back I guess? I laughed at MIB and lemon. xD Great anime. Onegai teacher + ano hana = Ano natsu. Overall 9/10 for me. |
 |
| FINALLY she left. good riddance. Ichika was a terrible annoying character. wow the ending just unloaded stupid plot devices. yeah right, Remon is a big one. always knowing what's going on. knowing "MIB" LOL really? being some rich girl? Tetsuro didn't even get with Mio. Tanigawa was screwed over by Kaito. I'm not sure why I kept watching this, just to finish it I guess. the alien stuff had no meaning till the end, then it felt forced. would have been better without it. at least Ichika freaking left finally. I feel like I'm being generous giving this a 4. I don't know why people liked this. |
 |
| At first I was like, 'WOW, MIB, really...' and then I realized it's anime and I just had fun with it/ laughed it off. Enjoyed this series a lot, and I prefer how they didn't have everything sort itself out at the end, I hate when happy endings are completely forced. I know there were a lot of things that were only very, very briefly detailed, but it was a 12 episode series and the majority of the emphasis was on the romance (which was very well done in my opinion). There were a handful of things holding this anime back from being among the best, but they were mostly petty. 9/10 |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| i liked the ending didnt expect that though they would live together but i guess telling from the ending film she crashes again on the planet lol i hope they do a OVA doubt it though.. it was a good series i liked all the twists and the way the plot was layed out well i'll give it a 8/10!.... |
| I give this anime 10/10, just as great as Clannad! Btw, Remon said she was with the MBI in one of the earlier episodes on the series. I really wish there was an OVA to top it all off. |
| <img src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee369/Sebster18/ninjatalent-1.jpg" /> |
| I loved the anime. I remember dropping it as episode 5 because I was too pussy - "Nah no way, I ain't watching this, I'll get depressed again" Lol, I genuinely thought that and stopped. Then I went back to it after Ano Hana because in the end I'm doing it for Romance/Comedy and artwork. Unlike other Romances, they actually declared their love during the series and not the end - very well done, I feel as though "I love you" - End - is bullsh*t. Furthermore, the fact that Lemon and Rinon were in the MIB (LMFAO) place kinda suggested Ichika was back. Even so, most other series would end there, making us create what happens next in our own minds which again is bull. However, again they surpassed everything and showed the movie ending to confirm she was back - shown by the clothes, - no sh*t Sherlock lol. But yeah, overall, thank God for leading me back. 10/10. It was fantasy anyways so MIB trollin' the series is no worries :D |
| The end was a bit lame in my opinion...I want Ichika to come back and be with the main character whose name I can't seem to recall right now. But YES to an OVA to top it all off and maybe have a bit more closure for the show. |
| 9/10 for me. Finally I was able to enjoy a good romance anime again. With multiple kiss scenes ( which are very rare ) YEAH! The story was good and I liked it, but I always had this depressing feeling watching this anime, because Kanna, Tetsurou and Mio all had unrequited loves throughout the series, which made me quite sad. Remon being a MIB agent is awesome. Didn't expect that at the beginning. It was fun guessing what she really was xD |
 |
| I actually put that show on hold until now, since i wasn't in the mood for romance. It was a pleasant watch nonetheless. I liked the fact that once IchikaxKaito was settled, the plot revolved more on the feelings of the other characters. Basically when Ichika and Kaito got together, everyone else was deeply affected, especially Kanna. Even though, I didn't like her character at first, she showed a lot of maturity near the end of the series. Despite her feelings for Kaito, she just wanted to see him be happy, even if it is with another girl. That's great character development in my book. The BGM was amazing. The MIB reveal for Remon (and Tetsuro's sister's husband) made me laugh out loud. 8/10. Pretty good series. |
 |
| I feel Kanna, Tetsurou and Mio didn't receive the proper attention in the end, or a happier setting in the end, but "happier" should be quite difficult given that love triangulation. I mostly enjoyed the serie because of their drama, though. |
| So she DID come back ;_; This series was..amazing. Beautiful. J.C. Staff knows how to do their stuff. 9/10 |
 |
| i kept saying "theres no way theyre going to end the anime like this" and i was -><- close to ripping out my hdmi cable the whole time up until the toradora ending, then i finally exhaled lol. great series, i gotta remember to thank the guy that brought it in for viewers choice next meeting....and yes an ova as the proverbial cherry would be awesome. |
| pretty fun episode , but too much focus on ichikaxkaito (of course they're the main character after all) . it's kinda meh that they neglect testuro-kanna-mio relationship which is IMO much more interesting than ichikaxkaito(never like both of them, something doesn't feel right about them) kanna > mio = tetsuro >>>>>>>>>> ichika = kaito lemon is incomparable though. overall 8/10 |
