| This episode is like the going down part of the roller coaster and it just ended... |
| I put off finishing this Anime for 3 weeks now, and finally got around to finishing it. I noticed the score dropped significantly in the last few weeks from 7.8? to 7.2, so I was expecting the worst. As I thought Episode 12, completely ruined it everything. From the beginning of episode 12 it seemed something was off, and I had already started believing Rikuo and Shinako would break up, and I was right. This show did a complete 180, during this last episode and went to shit. Hope I never have to see something as terrible as this again. |
 |
| Rushing is already bad but coupled with a happily ever after ending is just a recipe for disaster. Why don't they just do the breakup and show the characters continuing their lives? Then do a 'Just Because' time-skip ending where they coincidentally see each other after some time or anything else instead of this BS last-minute confession? There's a reason why Tsuki ga Kirei didn't get a 10/10 from me. It's because of its ending montage and now it's here again. Story/scriptwriters have to stop writing a conclusive story that tries to please the crowd. Write a genuine story that can be remembered for eternity. People dislike 5cm/s but it's still a discussion after more than 10 years. Why? Because the messages are powerful enough to remain in the viewer's memory. It seems like a new trend that a slow-paced very realistic anime suddenly turns into a rushed happy ending, which IMHO, is not realistic at all. Begone happily ever after just for the sake of it. |
| Truth is absolute but human perception of truth is always relative. |
| I should have just watched the first and last episode. The other episodes were a waste of time... Poor Rou. |

So Shinako X Rikuo will be friends again then a sudden turning of the table to Rikuo X Haru for Rou's sake be like: 3/5 |
| This was an endless circle of boring and irritating melodrama until the last episode where things had a rushed development regarding their relationships. I can´t believe this was meant to be 18 episodes. Thank goodness it wasnt because half of these 12 episodes were all pointless and just going on in circle. Shinako x Rikuo relationship was very irritating. They were always contradicting themselves, specially Shinako. The only character I liked was Haru 5/10 probably 4/10 due to how messed all of this was and for Rikuo being dumb or playing dumb and bashing Haru countless times. |

| Another disappointment in this season...it was so rushed, like out of nowhere he decided he was in love with Haru, his relationship with Shinako was clear was doomed, but the development is missing here...it would be better if they all ended alone. 6/10 |
 |
| Yep, this turned out to be quite shitty. And this awful ending was the icing on the cake. 5/10 from me. It's a shame, I had some expectations for this. |
| I'm in Shinako Team, I do like Rikou be with Shinako more than Haru. The relationship of Rikou and Shinako still developing and then they sudden broke up for 3 to 4 months almost same length as his ex Chika. Shinako's problem is her indecisive which she broke up her relationship with Rikou and don't to be alone. She stay with Rikou even if as very close friend (more than a friend and least than lover) become love rival and friend to Haru. I don't like Shinako to see Rou as a man, I do like her to see him as brother nothing more than that. Anyway, overall I like the ending but not enough, I like see what will happen to Shinako. I don't want her be same as Ruri and Ayase in Oreimo. |
| Score:5 or 4/10 I felt like I waste my time because most of the time I didn't care for the characters and I don't found these characters relatable that's another why I didn't enjoy the show and found it boring and dull despite the realistic approach |

| lol look at the poll, I thought the team Haru was the biggest. everything changed in the last ep, that was kinda weird. okay... |
 |
| YES !!!! best ending possible, Haru was definitely the best girl, I know this episode was totally rushed but I don't care because Haru won. |
 |
Ashhk said: Haru was definitely the best girl Of course she was but she deserved someone WAY better than that loser Rikuo. She gave Shinako so much shit for keeping Rikuo as a backup (and rightfully so) but now she doesn't realize or care that SHE is the backup that Rikuo kept all along. Seriously, Haru is the one person who got by far the shortest end of the stick in all of this. It's the main reason why I really hated this final episode. Because it shits all over Haru more than anyone else. |

| what just happen? 180 degrees!? Who would have thought Team Haru would have a chance!?! did they just ditched Team Shinako x Rikuo!? 4/5. 7/10. |
 |
| Anyone else think Shinako looks like the woman from Garden of words? |
 |
| This image comes to mind I guess I'll have to read the manga |
 |
| What a bad and rushed way to end this for an otherwise great series. I can understand Rikuo and Shinako breaking up because things didn't workout the way they expected (kinda disappointed since I was on the Rikuo x Shinako ship) but them hooking up with the others feels a bit abrupt. The relation between Rikuo and Haru needs more episodes to develop but Shinako wanting to see Rou differently feels like an asspull to me. Worst of all nobody was singing 'Yesterday' not even best crow Kansuke |
 |
| The anime was full of idiots, but at least he chose Haru What a bad and rushed ending ngl |
 |
| I'm glad it ended with Rikuo getting together with Haru. I couldn't stand Shinako with how she just leeched him for emotional support and tried to keep him in orbit the whole series even after they broke up. Rikuo isn't faultless either, why stay in orbit when there is someone else who is showering you with affection. |
 |
| The setting and music is nice. The characters were also likeable initially as they had similar issues. But they really rushed the last few episodes. The relationship dynamics felt superficial and forced for the most part. It just wasn't deep and emotional as it intended to be. And I think part of the problem lies with how the characters are written. I found Shinnako's character quite irritating mostly because she pretends she wants to move on but keeps acting like her dead boyfriend's widow with some obligations towards his family. This is exactly why that obnoxious brat Rou keeps trying to force her to like him because she doesn't out right reject him. At least both Rikuo and Haru are mature in that sense. But one thing that didn't make much sense is Haru's attraction towards Rikuo without even knowing him and why she waited so many years to talk to him? |
| I don't get why MAL is THIS MUCH butthurt about ending. Being rushed as fuck was bound to happen when it turned out 6 additional episodes were few minutes shorts that aired online after some episodes. I also don't get why is MAL so into this boring doormat Shinako. She is incapable of moving on from death guy. Manga skipped like a year of Rikuo and her dating and she still could put past behind and kiss him, even once. Rod_Russ said: Why Beatles's Yesterday after all? It's not.

| since its the last episode i'll just write everything's in my mind right now. i really liked this show in the first 7 episodes, all the characters were confused but i thought it didn't matter, i thought they were going to think and change, but that never happenned (except for the last episode). i dont know how good the adaptation from the manga is, but my opinion is that it needed more than 12 episodes to explore more of the plot. maybe i'm crazy but i really think the characters are really nice, but i really deslike the lack of character development. you know, rikuo didn't give a fck about haru for the entire series, he was so obsessed with shinako and when they are finally dating, both idiots noticed that they are what? yeah, dumbasses. and then they just break up and in an instant, boom. both rikuo and shinako are dating the person that they really like. what. not gonna talk about shinako and the crybaby. they are so unbearable wtf. why does this show doesn't have 13 episodes? this last episode could be sooooo better man... still, i liked it. i don't know why i like this kind of stuff. i must be a dumbass too. |
 |
| I don't buy that a sane person would drop Uozumi for that brat of a little brother, actually, I don't really see the reason why Uozumi and Shinako broke up with each other. IMO they both can keep their relationship and the relationship with Haru and the little bro. I get that Uozumi thinks that he does not really love Shinako but that guy dated her for months and patiently held back with skinship. Even if his love dried out a but during that process. If Shinako opened up to him, that love would be rekindled immediately. I do think this is a very fitting Seinen anime, the long-windedness was a bit tiring but it somehow fit. |
| Is this as bad as the top reviews make it out to be? Holy shit it's been a while since I've seen this much salt. |
 |
| Liked the cast, the art and the chara design, and while the first half of the series was decent the second half dragged on too much, in hindsight it makes sense to illustrate Shinako and Rikuo's relationship going nowhere, but idk, for a drama that felt unusual to have so few plot twists. |
 |
| Yeah.. Till the end Shinako and Rikuo are someone I don't like, I guess.. Poor Haru ends up with this man, I'd even say, lol.. In the end.. Really hard to rate anime.. I liked episodes 1, 5 and 6 a lot.. I liked Haru a lot.. I liked 2 side characters a lot - Minato and Chika.. As well as I liked a lot of some topics touched in this anime, but it mostly happened in episodes I named.. But I also didn't like Shinako and Rikuo.. And there were focus on them on the most left episodes.. So it's kinda eh.. In the end, it's really hard to rate anime, to be honest.. Are some memorable, but really important memories - enough for this anime to even make it a 10?.. Or I could say it was a meh anime, because I didn't like majority of it?.. It's not also case of just weighting pluses and minuses, because really not every anime gives such good moments, to be honest, which were enjoyable.. So yeah.. With all of these feelings, and memories of episodes 1, 5 and 6 is what I leave this anime with, I guess.. I'll probably rerate it in the future.. |
| Garbage ending. Its clear to me that the so-called adults don't yet know who they are, what they want, how to feel, or how to express themselves. It was a good idea to stay friends as I couldn't see how a relationship could develop romantically between such people. They need to mature themselves more. Haru is annoying and has nothing to her other than showing up peppy. Of course the shallow person Rikuo is would "love" her because she's annoying as he says. And what does Haru "love" about a guy she only ever saw in passing? What does Rou hope to hold on to other HIS desire to hold on to the past, just as Shinko is? Its just so boring. Glad they fleshed pit their emotions a bit more but this was a lukewarm anime. |
