| I just watched the first episode and the anime wasn't what I expected. But given the comments I've read here (trying not to spoil me too much) I'll consider giving it a second chance. |

| Dang, so it ends like that. RIP that pinky promise lol. And of course the cycle continues at the end lol. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| What a lively new year's celebration. It made me remember my extended family reunions for various occasions. The age groups really tend to gather together after eating to do their own thing. Ine comforting the mothers is so aww. Vigorous nodding adults bumble through life despite the age!! We are anxious and fragile too! Haha I saw the comments above and checked the author's twitter. So the anime adapted the manga's only recently released final chapter for the anime's final episode. Wow, that was just in time. Also what do you mean? They are just sleeping. They will laugh and thank Mino for waking them up so they can eat (blatantly ignores the hourglass imagery). Seriously: Our main couple is much loved by everyone, I cannot even imagine the weight of the passing of the news, and the emotions of the people they encountered through their lives upon receiving it. I started this anime for the silly premise and was met with silly cute heartwarming story. Even cried several times. I wonder how extensively the chapters were adopted / what chapters they had to skip. I would have loved to see the Takahashis more. Satoshi's appearances let us see a Shiori different from her family interactions hehe |
| Truly a beautiful bittersweet ending that so rarely happen in today anime. |
 |
| Meditating about the episode the episode of the festival, about in August. And this one was covring January and maybe February. The godess said 6 months. Maybe the magic was to forget about all what happened. |
| A new theme but not properly executed, the child romance seems like out of the place and just taking the duration time of the episode only, like suddenly a girl fall in love with a shark teeth boy ( I don't really understand the implying of this Shark Teeth at all, what it supposed to mean ?) and a girl meet a dude an just fall in love like that, waste of duration time better they focus on the grandpa and grandma stories Rather then this useless romance but the ending surprised me not expecting that they will gone like that but it's still heartwarming, it's ashame that's it's not properly executed but thanks to that I not getting depressed after watching this |
| Welp, that was a great way to end the anime, they both passed on to the next life without regrets. Mino and Shouta ended together and found a golden apple on their apple tree just like Shouzo and Ine. |
| Well, shit. That sure was a bittersweet ending. Now how am I supposed to sleep peacefully tonight? T_T Lovely show overall. Not a fan of how the fantasy aspect was handled since I found it kinda half-assed but other than that, it was beyond endearing to follow Shouzou and Ine's life story throughout these 11 episodes. Gotta say it made me reflect on life a couple of times. 7/10 - Why do Mino and Shouta look so destroyed post time-skip tho? They should be around 65. Not freaking 85 lol. |

| The first half proceeds with the usual silliness, but it is quite poignant how it ended. They didn't even mourn for their demise because the author wanted to show us that they lived a fulfilling lives. And of course, the cycle will repeat again in ther granddaughter and her husband. |

| Lovely anime. It was another episode, (9 I think), but when Ine said she had a week left to live, that was painful to hear. Then Shouzou decided to give her half of his time left, that was a really beautiful thing to witness. I will definitely remember this one. |
 |
| Well ... they actually ended it like this. Hot damn. Left the mostly cute and cheerful story with a sour taste in my mouth. But on the other hand, I guess it had an ending. Nothing left up for debate, nothing to theorize about. Thats basically death as well. And it was also exactly what those two were hoping for, too. Dying together at the same time. A very very enjoyable anime that kinda felt like there could have been more fun adventures those two could go on. But again - I guess thats death for you. Loved those two a lot and how in love they still were all those years ... relationship goals (esp. because there are couples like that). |
| Interesting slice of life. Anime authors are focusing more and more on aged characters. I think anime fans from the 70s and 80s have reached the point where anime is about them. Anime for/about old people? A new trend in Japan? |
| Expected (and welcome) ending, but still hurt af. Overall, this anime hit me in the feels way more than I was prepared from when it started. I must be getting old. |
| Maybe I'm the wrong target audience... I can recognize the supposedly heartwarmingness of it... But I was perpetually bored the entire time 4/10 |
 |
| As the summary indicated, the creators conveyed several life lessons through heartwarming & bittersweet moments. Also having watched the Conjuring: Last Rites only yesterday, both sharing similar ending, the emotions were heightened. One thing came as a surprise to me was the way the collapsing population of the nation was portrayed having an impact on the entire cast. As someone from a country with largest population in the world, it's not something I don't enjoy fantasizing even though I've seen several youtube documentaries. This anime felt more impactful on this. Glad to have watched this :) |
