I like the anime overall; the music was nice (and loved the Bach reference), the characters are great, but the ending was... just okay.

3.5/5

Gonna read the manga now.

The practically picked a random chapter of the manga and made it an ending. Although it was cute and a nice chice for a 12 chapter anime, I DEMMAND an second season. Their relationship gets much more interesting once Lotte appears.

Disappointing ending was disappointing. Dragged on forever as well, not impressed.

Going to read the manga hoping that will actually have a conclusion, that aside the show overall had a nice feel to it and was enjoyable to watch, 7/10.

Would like to see a sequel but I'm not holding my breath.

An OK ending. The people that wanted a conclusion were naive. The manga is still ongoing.

This series started off interesting for me. It was quite slow paced. However, after about 3 or 4 episodes, I found it increasingly boring. The ending was just lame. It could've been just any other episode and not the last episode- it certainly didn't feel like an awesome way to end the series.

Well, that was one of the most underwhelming endings I've seen in any anime. I guess it was supposed to be sweet and all the way they miss each other, but the pace was extremely slow moving and it's hard to feel like anything special when there was only one line shared between them the whole episode.

This was a nice but inconsequential anime series. It may not have made me fall in love with it, but what it did do was get me interested in the manga. Overall, not bad. 7/10

Naive or not, the lack of any conclusion was disappointing.

An extremely endearing show I wanted to give a 7, but the last couple episodes held it back. I am very much looking forward to season 2.

That was an unsatisfying conclusion, but to me the anime served as a good intro to the manga, which I really recommend people to read if the anime left them wanting more.

It would take three more seasons like this to complete the storyline of the manga if they continued following it 100%, one chapter one ep. I figure that would be increasingly difficult as the anime was already slow due to the way it was adapted, and later in the manga there are chapters like
. Maybe now that the manga is over they will see what they can do, but I don't know.

I agree with the consensus that the ending was rather lackluster and ambiguous. I felt like the story was making progress enough where they would finally confess to each other.

However, it was a fun ride. Some of the comedic moments were pure genius. I can't even count how many times I just blurted out in laughter at some of the silly hi-jinx. Yet, through all the silliness there seemed to be a heartwarming story of two close friends trying to search out their feelings for one another and find a time and place to share their conclusion with each other.

Sadly I doubt there will ever see a second season so we can witness that conclusion. The manga is finished. And without overwhelming demand, studios generally don't pick up second seasons of closed out series.

Most of the manga is translated save for a half dozen chapters near the end. Someone translated the final chapter. Which you should all check out if you loved the show.

In closing I agree the lack of a concrete ending to the series put a damper on the overall feel of the show. But i did enjoy the ride. 8/10 rating for me.

While seeing the 12th episode, i've expected an open ending, but not like that one.
Kazama realize she really care about Murasame but aside from that, nothing happened -_-

This anime really got potential, but this ending is just disappointing and leave me like (O_O)
I really hope they will do a 2nd season... x_x

Whaaat, all we get is a phone call and the "Let's hope we get a season 2" ending?? The whole thing started so well with setting up the romance but in the end the series was all too typical with only having romance in the beginning, and then as soon as it's become popular enough to get continuation, the premise is almost forgotten so that the story could be drawn out for as long as possible.

Ehhh?? What is this?!?! How can they end it like this? D: How dare they?! Just for what reason did I wait for 13 episodes and get nothing in return?
The manga was so awesome that I had high expectations for this anime... but I'm utterly disappointed :<

Sure, it was a nice, sweet story and all, but that's simply not enough =/ This definitely needs a second season, I'll sue the Department of Common Anime Storytelling if this anime doesn't get a second season >:(

I'll be harsh and score this as 5, until the moment this gets a 2nd season... and if that happens, I'll add 2 or 3 to the score of this anime ^^

For Sasameki Koto you really need PATIENCE! Almost finising the translated manga version, all I can say is "THANKS GOD!".

I enjoyed the series, mainly for me who read manga first and have keep up like this until now even though all the lack progression in most all the chapters. Really, it destroys anyone, really tiring.

Liked the series a lot. Introduced the manga and was pretty devoted to it. And after I saw the last-happy-ending-chapter, for sure a second season will be welcome or even a third one! (:

I loved this anime but the ending quite ruined it a bit for me, I was waiting for this sweet, heart throbbing confession.
I seriously hope that the manga doesn't end in the same way, it would be such a huuuge disappointment. But If we ignore that, the anime was really sweet and I lol'd quite a number of times.
So still a 9/10 !

Lame final episode. The episode itself was good, or at least ok, but how can you sell something like that as a final episode? Worst choice one could make <.<

It was to be expected that a boring anime as this wouldn't get a second season, they should have just finished it in one season. Maybe then it wouldn't have been so slow paced. The first couple of episode were soo slow that it was really boring, but starting at around episode 4 it got its charm until the end where you could see that Ushio is secretly in love with Sumika, but that doesn't mean anything if they end it like that.
Too bad, could have been a nice story <.<

6/10 from me which is actually one of the baddest scores on my list :/

When I started watching the anime, I didn't know the manga was ongoing at the time. It's a shame, as their relationship starts to heat up after this open ending...
The anime was so faithful to the source material that I have to give a 8/10, really enjoyable series.

Too bad I can't see the scene where Sumi-chan cries, that one was really powerful on the manga~

Looking at some of the older posts, man pretty much everyone had no idea that when this anime was made that the manga still wasn't finished. I like many hope now that the manga is finished and that its now being released in English that maybe we will see a second season but its highly doubtful but for the ones who were upset over the lack of conclusion READ THE MANGA, you will get one.

Looks like I'm one of the few who actually liked the ending. Ushio FINALLY realized and accepted the fact that she loves Sumika, and going by the scene after the credits, Sumika also knows it. That makes the ending pretty conclusive and non open-ended for me. Sure a confession or a kiss would have been great, but I don't think it was needed. The ending was subtle, and subtlety is something you don't see very often in anime.

the pace of this series made me think a confession wld have been several episodes from the end but in the end there was no worded confession just a realisation they both need each other which i thought was more realistic than a confession of love in words i liked the part after the credits where they both no they love each other and they look just like a couple ^.^

I expected a bit more romance between Sumi and Ushio. This episode although it portrayed the bond the two share and how Ushio feels depressed without her lacked that romantic spice. I was hoping to hear Sumi say "Don't worry" or "I love you so don't feel so depressed", something to bring out more loving emotions.


The show was nice 6/10, enjoyed it for the most part.

the ending was cute but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a bit disappointed. I mean CMON no confession at all. What was the point of the series if nothing really happened. At the end of the day there was no real progression in their relationship besides them getting a few more blushes for each other. Nothing direct. I wanted so much more. I really liked the characters in this series too so that's mostly why I care and am disappointed. This had so much potential!

Real damp squib of an ending. It already did the bit in a previous episode about Kazama realizing how much she misses Sumika when they can't talk due to wacky circumstances and and the rest of the episode is just faffing about.
