| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The final episode of this bizarre journey! We got the main objective finally coming to a close with everything that came together. Definitely felt like another surreal episode with the trio of main characters facing their latest challenge together. It also goes back to show some of the events of the past. So in a way, I think it's also an interesting overview for the whole anime together. The song used in the finale still has the similar style of the other episodes. What a wild ride this has been. |

| Mabu and Reo are back in the end yeaah. I'm going to miss this show. AOTS for me. Underrated. Heartbreaking anime mixed with decent comedy and interesting symbolism. 8/10 for the anime. |

| not a bad last episode, but felt like Enta's 'problem' didn't get resolved at all. also while it's nice to see Reo and Mabu back, their return felt like it was too easy.. Love the show but mixed feelings for the ending. |
| Went from Sarazanmai no Uta to Inazuma Eleven to some kind of prison school... What a wild ride... Look like Stand by Me might have been about Toi all this time (I was convinced it to be from Reo's POV, welp) Looks like the bad endings from future leaks are all possible outcomes and struggles that the trio might have to deal with, but they still go forward to the future anyways. I like this kind of message that Ikuhara gave this time. I wonder if Haruka's legs are somehow cured since he was seen sitting alone at a different spot with Nyantaro. Well, the Little Prince thing is still confusing a bit to me. |
| Wow this has been a MASSIVE waste of time, like thinking back I could have used that time watching something better... it's so agonizing. I feel like this anime is trying to pander to a VERY specific audience, like if you're a fan of Ikuhara's works then good for you, you probably enjoyed this, but going into it BLIND or as a casual anime viewer, you would probably drop this nonsensical trash within minutes. Overall, very unenjoyable experience. I'll give it a 6/10 just because some subplots were handled decently and the staff from Lapin Track did a great job. |

| Keep your connections even if it hurts~~ I want to connect so Sarazanmai~~ ♥♥♥♥ It felt a bit rushed (both the last ep as this one), but I'm pretty glad with the outcome. Reo and Mabu were able to crown their daughter and lived happily ever after <3 I wish we got one more episode so things could've build up and get resolved in a better way, but I'm happy with what Ikuhara was able to give. Now I'm off to wait 4 years for a new Ikuhara anime again... :') I hope he's able to get a 24 episode slot again. I love when he's able to tell his story the way the way he wants and at the passing he wants. Sarazanmai was amazing, but it could've been perfect with a little more screen time to develop some subplots. |

I never watched any anime from ikuhara and I loved every episode of Sarazanmai |
| I really enjoyed this anime, especially the first half or so. The ending however felt a bit rushed (well actually, quite a lot). I often found myself very confused about what was going on. In addition, I wish the deal with Enta's feelings for Kazuki and his jealousy towards Toi was explored a bit more, now it felt unresolved. Despite all this, the anime was enjoyable to me. |
 |
| I think the series could've benefited from another episode or two but overall this was still a great watch and definitely my AOTS. |
 |
| The ending was a little confusing, but definitely a good show. 6.5/10. |
| It was awesome. Also the final is not typical for the mahou shounen shoujo. AotY for sure. |
 |
| I honestly don't know how I feel about the episode. I enjoyed it, but there just seems to be so much left open and unresolved. A fair amount of them might be just because I'm dense as a brick sometimes, but still... Regardless I'm just happy that the kappa trio got a relatively good ending (discounting the whole 3 years in jail thing for Tooi lmao). |
 |
| Had expectations for a sad ending, but that felt good. Satisfied on how it developed from a dish collectathon anime to some existential debate. 7/10 |

Despite all this, the anime was enjoyable to me. I dont think it was unresolved? Last ep Enta broke out from under the otter's influence and stated he wants his connection with Kazuki to stay the same. I feel like that was the end of that plot. And i believe his jealousy towards Toi was resolved too, he learnt about his past and empathized with Toi's feelings of not being able to say your true feelings and this is why he changed his mind and brought the dishes. At least this is how i undestood it. Well yeah, that might be true too. It just seems weird to me, that Kazuki didn't even really react much to the revelation of that kiss, or the immense jealousy, but maybe it's just me. It is true that Enta did say how he wants the connection to stay the same etc., maybe I just wanted a bit more. Maybe I'm too greedy. shrug :/ |
|
| The cops resurrection is a bit infuriating but overall my favorite anime of the season. 8 or 9/ 10 |
 |
| Nice ending. OVerall a fun show with a nice message |
 |
| When I started watching this show, I was really confused. But the more I watched, the more things started to come together, and that's what I think charmed me the most about this anime. It was an unique viewing experience & a wild ride! PS. I can't believe everyone got a happy ending, I wasn't expecting that :O |
   |
| 9/10 It was a good show, I'm going to miss it. I like the warnings that this is fiction show and is not based on anything real. XDD |
 |
| I was expecting a tragic ending and, well, I was completely mistaken. This was the first work of Ikuhara I had contact and I fell completely in love since the first episode; I do not enter the audience group that consumes BL, but I loved every bit of each connection (Reo and Mabu is the best couple of the year, fight me), I was a bit disappointed to see no more of the relationship Kazuki x Toi develop, but I realized that this is not the kind of connection that matters between the group, as Enta realized. I like the sad endings more than the happy ones, but this is a clear exception. if I can describe Sarazanmai in one word is: "emotional" if we look at the world in this proposed way, with all the forms of connections that bind us together, the emotive becomes "human" in a certain way. |
| Pretty amazing that this ended in an almost complete happy ending for everyone(Toi still got to suffer the lost of his brother and his family restaurant), Sara true form is kinda scary and it seems Haruka ended up doing Sara's show but with a frog motif. |
| This anime killed me, spit on my grave, through my corpse into a cave full of spiders, and then brought me back and gave me flowers. 10/10 |
  Don't worry about being lame now, you were always lame anyway!  |
| Well. Seeing Toi going through his past while wanting to sever his connections to ultimately erase himself was hard. I'm glad Kazuki and Enta were there to prevent it from happening. Toi was just hurt and despairing, but he didn't really want to lose what they had. And I know it wasn't really out of nowhere, but Enta going from wanting Toi far away no matter what to trying to prevent him from erasing himself still felt a bit abrupt to me. It was only because Toi was there that Kazuki reached out to him in the first place though, so I guess he had good reason. And it was interesting to watch that sequence with the possibilities in their futures, with the titles of the previous episodes and all. I'm pretty sure that in one of those Kazuki was rejecting Enta's feelings on that bridge. But despite this, and seeing Kazuki with a lesion, it was still nice to see the three of them playing together, though, as we saw, it wouldn't necessarily be a "good thing." I also kind of screamed, internally, with joy when Reo and Mabu appeared to illuminate their path to little Kazuki, I'm so glad they weren't really erased and are now together as they wanted. I guess I'm happy for Keppi too, he could accept his despair, and is now with Sara. And the sequence with Toi in the reformatory, atoning for his crimes, was nice too. All in his life was "done", but he can now start anew with Kazuki and Enta by his side, and I'm so glad he didn't throw away everything by erasing himself like he wanted, if only for a moment. Well, it's over, but it was a funny, poignant, moving, and weird-at-first ride. I'm going to miss these dancing kappa boys and officers. |
 |
| I almost shed a tear, despite happy ending ( well Toi still has lost a lot) and I'm honestly sad that this crazy journey has already come to an end. I was a bit overwhelmed at times and had to rewatch many parts, but definitely interesting series. |

birdiverse said: Mohammadalmannai said: The cops resurrection is a bit infuriating Yeah I agree, that was completely self-indulgent imo. Killing off a character is a sacrifice for both the audience and the writer, but one that a good writer should commit to. You can't just randomly un-kill your character!! Their deaths marked the end of their character arc; the only thing their revival did was obliterate the significance of that arc. WTF X_X To continue his previous series of not having anything to do with "Bury your Gays" trope, the police cops were the only confirmed gay couple by the end, and the trio didn't seem to reach any romantic ending. In Penguindrum, the one lesbian (and maybe bisexual) character got the happiest ending In Yuri Kuma, Kureha and Ginko were together by the end, but whether they were killed or not was left up to interpretation. That said. So Stand by Me was all about Toi all this time. From 1-7, he still had the other two with him so there were 3 shadows. Starting from 8-9, he picked his brother's side so that's left with 2 shadows (him and his brother.) And episode 10 and after the prison scene, where he is out of the circle and only has a shadow of himself. The other two shadows came back when Kazuki and Enta reconnected with Toi. |
You may like it or not, but there's a reason since he and the staffs did not go back on their words of giving the two cops a somewhat satisfying ending. The kappas did not seem to blend back into the human society anyways, given that Sara has quit her Idol job. |
| Wrong in so many ways but right in the exact corner. Finally it comes to an end. Btw that Keppi x Azuma was wew. XD |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
WoodyJ said: I usually like the stylistic device of mixing episodic structure with linear plot, see Tatami Galaxy or the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. This is somewhere in the middle. That sort of story telling usually requires a re-watch, as the timing of looped parts work better in a fast, movie-esque binge than in a weekly interrupted long run. Goes straight to rewartch list for me ...(...) I dunno, Ikuhara is weird (...) Honestly this is Ikuhara having fun and you can definitely see the experimentation in the episodic stories compared to his usual 'long' stories. |

| Liked their final Sarazanmai! The three year time skip was also great, Enta has really grown. Felt bad though Toi had to serve, but I guess it couldn't be helped since he did kill a person. Their reunion was heartwarming, I hope that future comes true. Keppi's true true form was really funny and beautiful at the same time. I'll miss this show a lot and was the one of the series that kept the season going. Usually anime with girls get all the attention and nobody cares about young boys anime, that's really saddening. Boys don't get attention even reality, It's always about girls and let's protect the girls. I have a son and I want him to know his existence is important to the world too, all humans existence is important. We Shouldn't overlook young boys even in anime, I did enjoy this and I'm glad they did this. Mindless fun filled with a nice touch of drama! Not everything is about DAMN wAifus. If you didn't understand this anime, then TOO BAD FOR YOU! 8/10 |

Kougeru said: Nice ending. OVerall a fun show with a nice message ^ I agree. I felt the ending was a little rushed, but overall it was a great show and I'm gonna miss it. The themes were nice too. ^ I also agree! this and Dororo were my favorites this season. To me, this anime was more enjoyable to watch than AOT season 3 part 2. This show was deserved more popularity than it received because it had many fantastic qualities: well-developed characters, plot twists, awesome OP/ED songs, relatable themes, and the VAs for the characters sang various songs! I thought that was cool :) |
