| I wasn't really satisfied with the ending but I don't hate it either. Solid 8/10 for me. |

| I actually like how they don't end up together because not everything has to be romantic. But still, what the heck? Daiki confessed to Jung? What? It was so out of nowhere! Dislike it. And also i don't like it when Jun decide to runaway before the play. I thought she was just being egoist as her classmates said,but then she was fine after being rejected directly?. ???? |

| I am fine with the ending. Not all relationships need to be romantic. Sakagami helped Jun because he saw himself in her. Jun being able to speak even after Sakagami rejected her makes a point about Jun's character growth and how she is no longer dependent on a "prince". But I do wish more time was given for Sakagami and Nito's relationship. As it stands, it wouldn't have made any difference if Sakagami didn't date anyone. |
| I'm such a petty ho. Midway when I sensed Takami was gonna get with his ex, I dropped it like a hot tamale lmao. Damn misleading tags lol |

cielzx said: Everyone has been complaining about ending because the shipping wasn't satisfying or didn't make sense, but I feel if it was an unsatisfactory ending, it's for a another reason entirely. Personally, I feel the ending wasn't terrible if we're talking about the shipping; takumi and natsuki barely developed as characters in this movie and they have a history together so pairing them was fine and jun/daiki was fine as well (albeit there weren't enough interactions between them to plant those seeds). As I rewatched the ending over and over again to experience the musical, which was so moving because of the lyrical work, message that tied into the movie's theme of growth and expressing yourself, and the beauty and execution of the last song, I found myself more and more interested in how jun's mother could have factored into the ending, which I feel would've been so much better if they bookended it with a parental bond moment with her and jun. This movie was so much more about Jun trying to find her voice after blaming herself for the divorce than the romance. The musical and the friends she made were consequences of her development, which is important, but her mother is a strong impediment or foil to her development so addressing that is equally as important. From calling her a chatterbox to her treatment and disdain/frustration (whatever you want to call it) in the house and hospital scene, jun's mother was one of the biggest reason jun wasn't able to speak. We could've had a much more satisfying ending if after seeing jun's performance and message that she got across, she goes up to jun to have a bonding moment. To tell her she had no idea what she was going through, that she didn't know the divorce was hard on her as well, that it wasn't her fault they split up, that she loves her still. Having a parental bond scene would've been a much better ending because jun's growth would've been complete within the constraints of its 2 hour runtime and hell, they still could've had daiki approach her in the end with jun's mother saying something along the lines of "hey, i think your friend wants to say something to you" and leave it open-ended. All in all, I still think this movie is excellent and well written. It caught my attention with a fresh start to kick things off and was still able to move me as the final counterpoint came to end the musical which perfectly encapsulates the movie. The ending was OK, definitely subversive especially how tropey the movie was in the second half, but certainly could have been better. I have to agree on the majority of points here. People bond and connect in relationships all the time, but it doesn't have to be romantic. I see Jun and Takumi as 2 people with similar experiences which they each handled in their own way. Jun created an elaborate excuse, Takumi went in shut down mode because they both felt they were the cause. The only reason I gave this a 9 rating is there was no, visual closure for Jun and her mother. This is how the story began and how it should have ended. |
| Ah, yes. I love those kind of author's who are able to make the whole anime become bullshit just by fucking up the ending. Thanks, I hate the story. The visual and animation is good though. |
| yes. |
| This was a 10/10 for me up until like 1h20m, where the last 30m managed to screw everything up. The potential for a great ending was immense, which makes it even more unfortunate. Not getting a ship is fine, but not when it seems nonsensical and stemmed from "different to be different". The drama portion was also immature and frustrating; they could have gotten it from a number of other sources, like a misunderstanding between Jun and her mother. Instead it totally changed how you thought about Jun, in summary making me think "bruh really? u srs?". Made her mute condition feel like a slap in the face too. And finally no resolution with Jun and her mother. The saddest part is just how much potential there was if the screenwriting for the end was different |
| Lol man it's basically influenced by the famous "I love Emilia" . Naruse is short haired like rem & Nitou is long haired like Emilia too . It's basically short haired gets rejected cycle |
Complex Stories are basically sleeping pills . Helps to get some sleep . |
| I liked the ending, Takumi obviously cared about Jun because he could relate with her and wanted to support her as a friend. They don't show us Tasaki's perspective but you can actually see how he cares about Jun and develops a crush on her. Takumi and Nito obviously still like each other too, it's just a lot of misunderstanding from Nito and words that they couldn't properly convey... That ended in a cliff hanger, but in the end it gives me a good feeling instead of some other anime movies that tries to do an open ending but ends up not showing us what happened to other characters. |

Some of you people are way into the cliche trope stories of main female protagonist ending up with main male protagonist. This ending feels far more fitting for a high school kinda thing. Well, mostly. I don't buy the baseball kid falling for Jun after only a month like that, then again, well, who knows. Maybe cause she stood up for him too in the restaurant and other things it grew and relationships in high school are often quick to fire up and burn out. Still, I don't think that part is great, but it's not horrible.
Only thing I wanted at the end was a final scene between the mother and Jun.

| @TheGodEmperor I wholeheartedly agree with the movie needing a final scene between the mother and Jun, and for her to fully heal her. With that said now I wish there was a bit more emphasis and building on the relationship between mother and daughter, with the romance plot a bit more diminished (though I see why it is a major part of the film and so it's best to keep it) as for "I don't buy the baseball kid falling for Jun after only a month" I think it's very well possible. I think she indirectly help him take a reassessment of his character through her own courage, along with the acts of kindness that is thinly spread throughout the movie. Also they're like hs kids so I don't think crushes really run that deep anyways |

Welcome to the club.
The reason why it finished like this is because they needed some conflict so that Naruse doesn't just do her play and the bitch who wrote the script https://myanimelist.net/people/5978/Mari_Okada keeps doing stuff like this where best girl gets rejected probably because she thinks it makes the story "better" or "more mature". Maybe she wanted the moral of the story to be that we don't always get what we want but we have to move on with our lives regardless.
Or maybe she just loves getting the audience invested, then bending them over and fucking them in the ass.
In any case don't even bother trying to rationalize this from an in movie perspective since there is absolutely no point. The real world people who made it just needed another conflict for the story and thought this ending would be better/more interesting/less predictable. That's really all there is to it I'm afraid.
But you're definitely not alone in your frustrations since most of the people I've talked to who've seen it seem to agree.

| @vegeta8639 I agree with your points, but you are talking it way over the line cursing the writer over a fictional movie. I mean come on dude. |
