| Welp, that ending was disappointing, but overall the entire series was good 9/10. I've corrected the ending for those interested. setsuna touma and haruki meet at the airport, they sit down for coffee with an hour before touma's flight, setsuna brings up the festival and what she did and starts to cry touma accepts her feelings and apologizes for the way she feels for haruki, but she cannot help it haruki stays quiet with his head down, and when asked what will he do he closes his eyes in desperation and says he wants to marry touma touma buys him a ticket and they fly to vienna together to get her mothers blessing END! |
xchee said: I knew from the start this wasn't going to end well. Yet the M in me kept me from dropping it. Story of a love triangle. Can't really put much of a spin there. There's always gonna be one who gets the short end of the stick. This time...well I don't know who did. Characters are flawed and that what makes them believable. I wouldn't say they're complex but I always try to remember they're supposed to be teenagers - they make small things seem complicated and complicated things MORE complicated. You know...like how you agonized over this one thing when you were 17 but now you're much older you're like "ok that was stupid lol." I don't like any of the characters. I feel no attachment to any of them. Well a bit for Touma I guess. But what little fondness I had for her just went bye-bye after seeing this episode. This isn't even an issue of "you don't do that to friends". Any woman would demand that you break it off with the other party. You know...that infamous "if you really love me, then..." line. I get that Haruki and Touma love each other but it's just...ugh..*head throbs*...you just don't do that >___< You break it off with the other party FIRST then go do whatever you want, have sex 24/7 or whatever. Life experiences taught me well. Some people say Setsuna deserved what happened since she was the one who stole Haruki first. She did get between them but I don't know...technically I wouldn't call it stealing because there was no formal relationship between the other two hence it was still free-for-all. So Setsuna went and swooped in (swooping is bad). I still can't say what she did was right but I can't blame her. She gambled and lost. Haruki is just a POS. Everything could have been easily resolved if you didn't hook up with someone you didn't love or break up with her before you hook up with someone else. "But he didn't want to hurt them!" He's not kind. He's a coward. And those types are the one who deserve to be forever alone. I haven't played the VN and from what I read in the previous pages, there's supposed to be a continuation? Let me predict what could happen: Am I close? Did I like it? I don't know. I watched all 13 episodes so I guess? Was it good? It was a good mess. But still good. Damn man...just damn you obviously understand the characters well if you could predict that much. Yes that's pretty much exactly what happens. |

| Good and happy ending for me! 10/10 Felt sorry for Setsuna though since I love her a lot. She deserves someone better. |
 |
| Where is my School Days ending?! Anyway, this show was too predictable and hence - boring 5/10 |

"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| What a bad end for all 3 main characters. I give 8/10 After doing some searching, seems like this adaptation is just the ~Introductory chapter~ So, I hope there will be a season 2 for ~Closing chapter~ I wanna know what will happen to these 3. |

| Hey guys, shouldn't this be rated R? There's a sex scene... |
| Well to be fair, he still isn't used to calling her by that name. He only started calling her that just the night before so yeah. |
| I rate this as a masterpiece. It's been a while since I have seen a romance drama anime that have left me an aching heart, I can almost not breathe. The animation was superb, the plot was laid out perfectly, the drama was consistent, the characters were well developed, and the OST matched very well. PS. I'm part of the minority that wants Haruki to end up with Setsuna. :) |
| Senjougahara: Don't call me "this chick" Araragi: Then what should I call you? Senjougahara: Senjougahara-sama. Araragi: SEN - JOU - GA - HAA - RAA - SAA - MAA Senjougahara: I don't like the way you say it. Say it properly. Araragi: Senjougahara-chan~ |
skykh said: Am I the only one who find it weird he shouted TOUMAAA instead of KAZUSAA I mean u arent going to shout LAWRENCEEEEE when her name is Jennifer. That's a good point lol. Eh, some people are taking this too seriously. Nothing wrong with any of the characters IMO. They are all very realistic, and quite likable for me . It's simply human to make mistakes, to love and to give in to temptation. Anyway they are all so young, so they have plenty of time to make foolish mistakes and learn from them. It only appears so 'dramatic' because that's how all dramas go. The actual situation isn't really much of a big deal, if you think about it. Certainly not as crazy or unbelievable/contains as loathsome characters as School Days, for one. |
| There's two kinds of people you can't win an argument against: One - Too dumb to tell right from wrong. Two - Too stubborn to admit they are wrong. |
| Dunno how to feel about this show. On one hand Haruki is a fricking indecisive prick, but on the other hand Setsuna is incredibly stupid to stick around with him... ugh, the show was all happy go lucky at first and this ending leaves a sour taste. |
| Fuck, that was awesome. Time to play the VN. |
| Bad romance is bad. That's what you get when you chase two rabbits at once. Jerk deserved it - the girls don't. |
| Nope. |
-ZET- said: "There already was poison in the soup, why not eat it all up?" - is what Haruki would say. Thinking of this in a realistic standpoint (though of course WA2 is fictional), their "precious" memories/past is basically screwed up - wasted. Future undecided (what if a "closing chapter" was never made? Ofc all of us are left to fantasize about hat is to happen - which left me to my opinion). Friendship broken. So what did I just watch 13 episodes for? For their friendship to melt like snow. No one is perfect, thus, every character in a story HAS a FLAW - which comes to WA2's main flaw to itself, the characters (which I'm not going to elaborate more). No matter how well the script is written, how perfect the music is timed, when you've got an ending that will leave a bad taste to your mouth, it just is worth ranting about. Either way, if WA2 took the traditional road of "guy A ending up with girl A, leaving girl B alone", it still is NOT a happy ending, at least NOT AS WORST as what actually ended up happening. Honestly, I wouldn't mind it if Haruki ended up with either two of the girls. Hell, if it's possible, all three of them could've had a mutual love altogether - but then again, that's not realistically possible as far as I know. With all that said, WA2 is a great anime - great in a way how they portrayed the characters, how the plot developed and every other shenanigans needed for a romance genre. But how it ended is basically... meh. You have the characters for a flaw, who never bothered to fix themselves first, before fixing their relationship. I give this a 7/10 (a good ending is a must for a good romance anime - I mean, who can be so cruel to leave us broken hearted? *5 centimeter/second cough*). I feel sorry for 4 people - Haruki, Kazusa, Setsuna, and myself DAMMIT. |

| I just finished seeing the show and quite amazed on how the producers carry the bad ending ._. The moment i saw the 12th episode, i really don't like how Haruki acted. But at least he managed to make things out with Setsuna (or not?) in the last episode , even though it leads to a bad ending.... The musics are great, and i really enjoy hearing them. My impression is that WA2 is really great, simply because of it's story and how realistic it is. I would hope for the "closing chapter" to be animated ._. I give this... 8.5/10 (Q: So does Haruki still with Setsuna? I still don't get this part...) |
Sorry For my Bad English lol  |

This is only 20% of the full story. I think the main thing that remains inconclusive is we never got to see Kazusa and Setsuna have a confrontation. Without that it truly feels inconclusive. (Q: So does Haruki still with Setsuna? I still don't get this part...) Kinda sorta. They are technically still together, but their relationship is meaningless. Yes they go to the same university. |

SofJay said: You do have a point. It will never be a masterpiece for me until the time that I accept something tragic like WA2 can happen(with the infinite number of timelines we have, of course it can!). It is a breath of fresh air from the typical happy-ever-after genre - and yet, it's hard to breath from the suffocation you have to endure from WA2. I do admit that WA2 is a great anime AND story, but the ending for me is... S^436du499cjdammitwhy98y6xh4yn since I really do feel pity for the 3 of them - which is probably the ONLY reason for my rants at the moment. hyperknees91 said: Well, I know that that's not all for WA2. Like what I stated before that, I took out the time to rant with the mindset of "what if there's no extra chapter?". With all that said, I do hope they animate this extra chapter to give my heart some peace. |

sh_1990 said: This was great episode. 9/10 Now, I'm really looking forward to see season 2.(hopefully next year) But I think it is almost impossible to fit Closing Chapter and Coda in only 24 episodes. Maybe CC will next year, and coda gonna next next year on TV or could be a movie. Cut out the side heroines and it's easily possible. Remember WA2 is dragged out beyond belief and the majority of the conversations can be cut out completely. |
| Haruki must've smashed Touma good, she couldn't walk straight afterwards. XD Jokes aside, I'm glad I gave WA2 a shot. Kinda overlooked it when it was airing.The love triangle was remarkably well done. I genuinely felt really bad for all three leads, especially Setsuna. And the music placement was godtier. Wouldn't mind seeing CC and Coda animated in the near future. |

| wow i was afraid it will end up like schools day, thanks god it didn't |

While some can claim that they wish for more romance anime this good, I think it's better if we don't get something like WA2 very often. Some of us would probably burn out and would just stop caring eventually. WA2 is my favorite anime of 2013 but I won't deny that's also because there's been a while since we've seen a romance-drama anime done right and some of us were really thirsting for one.IMO,it's a factor that made it special and I don't know about you guys but I like to have something special every once in a while. Personally,I'm now content with romance-drama anime of this caliber for quite a while -let's say until next fall/winter or so when I'd expect a season 2 to have a good chance of being out(in this case,I wouldn't mind it being out sooner either but I'd still rather have at least one season break). Heck,my enjoyment of Golden Time(which is a bit similar with it's love triangle & all) has dropped due to it airing in the same season as WA2. Even with WA2 being over, I'll still inevitably end up comparing the two,preventing me from enjoying GT as much as I would if it aired at least two seasons before or after WA2. |

Might as well give NANA a watch if you want a good romance drama. It's pretty much the best one in terms of anime. |

That's definitely on my watchlist,eventually...Definitely not anytime soon as like I said,another good-romance drama is what I DON'T need right now :P |
| i just love it when a show makes me feel.. even if that feeling hurts me and enrages me inside and makes my breathing harder and yet still make me want to watch it more.. i get that with White Album and the second story to get that title is even more sinister at making me feel all these.. we ended with a 3-way bad end halfway mark and again, we're most likely gonna have another season to wrap it up.. so.. when's the next serious romance anime? |
AlexGK said: gochinboy said: -ZET- said: I like your opinion.. your explanation is more reasonable.. #thumbs.up for you zet.. ^_^ You really need to go watch True Tears if you think this crap is anything even near masterpiece level. Its way better and even so I wont consider it masterpiece. Now if you watch Toradora too, that might be a closer one. Hell even the underrated Kimi ga Nozomu Eien is a masterpiece compared to this nonsense cliche shit. WA2 is much, much better than Toradora or True Tears because it's realistic, great writing and characterizations. |
WA2 is much, much better than Toradora or True Tears because it's realistic, great writing and characterizations. Well it's all about preference. Toradora has more likable characters, True Tears has characters you can sympathize with more. |
Kaioshin_Sama said: The only good romance anime I've watched in years, possibly decades. Not sure why more can't be like this. I'd say this if I had watched many romance anime - or if I had watched many anime full stop. But if the norm is Torashit ... well ... Aaaah, the sex at the beginning. ｡◕ ∀ ◕｡ So the scene which was foreshadowed in the first ep. was Setsuna letting Haruki make out with Touma? It definitely came out as a surprise, I thought she would just find out and slap Haruki or something. Really, Setsuna is a man, a true bro. She was the one I disliked the most, but this final episode made me realize how much of a complex character she is. Like everyone else. It was all very complicated without having to rely on melodrama. Only complain I have is the animation – or lack of thereof – and the ugly anatomy. Not so terrible as other anime, but it could have focused less on the character’s legs and more on them playing their instruments. The music was goooood. 8/10. I’ll ditch Rose Guns Days 2nd season – the first one was pretty shitty anyway – and start this right away. |
| Wow, what an ending. Damn... this is how School Days should of been. I really couldn't ship for either girls. I liked both of them but eventually my heart sank a bit with what Setsuna said but glad she made amends and accepted the consequences. But Touma... *shakes head* nothing more to say then that. There's gotta be a S2 soon, not sure when but I really cannot wait if this pic is true: http://i.imgur.com/tE3ghRz.jpg |

Lawrence_Sama said: does anybody have the uncut version of episode 13 plz Wait for the BDs. Well, I guess that would be only uncensored. |
 |
| Well my thoughts in this anime is that is brilliant. The producers didn't play with let's get happy forever. It was appropiate with the characters years and the moments they were going throught. Also that they were characterized very well in the sense of reality. Yes everyone makes mistakes and can do this enormous problem. That's what I liked about this show. It was very very sincere with the reality. At the end everyone made huge mistakes that demostrated that if you don't think and say what you are doing you will have a bad time. So they got what they deserved. I like how it ended but I am hearing there could be a sequel. Well if they keep on with the track like this it will be totally awesome. For me 10/10. Although I was with team Ogiso but dammit Touma really had big points. Also what a way to start 2014. :D I hope I can watch more good anime this year. |
| It's great to see all these differing and similar opinions. I"m curious about whether or not the anime ending on an original note or are we on track with the VN. Info would be greatly appreciated! |
 |
| Can't stop the feels. The characters in the story is great theres a bit of flaws but it still has the slice of life so yep its ok for me. Poor Setsuna I feel bad for her pushing too far and Touma leaving? man that ending was sad. I dont think Setsuna and Kitahara will go out again/ 8/10 |
| Tch. |

| godamnn dem feeels it was pretty sad the way it ended i wish they could have concluded it a little better none of them could ever be happy at all after that. |

It's how she looks in the final arc in the visual novel. It was tweeted by the satelight animator, so more then likely they have confirmed they are doing Coda (maybe they'll just skip CC haha). |
