| I was rooting for a Noe ending the whole time, but I didn't dislike Hiromi either. I guess this ending was pretty good and I liked the anime as a whole. I haven't watched a anime this good for a while =P. |

| I'm glad it ended up with Shin x Hiromi. But I expect much to this last episode, then I guess I'm a bit disappointed. So after watching the whole show ( Took me almost one day to complete this anime... ), I changed my thoughts about it and I think this show was good. 7/10 DeathfireD said: I'm happy with how things panned out in the end but I'm a bit disappointed that it wasn't more dramatic. This ending felt exactly like the damn bike crash. You are right! |

| NOOOO! NOOOOE! ;A; I can't believe Shinichirou didn't stay with her in the end. She sure was weird, but she was cute, beautiful and honest. Hiromi was fine for me 3 episodes ago, but then she started to get on my nerves for apologizing everytime and trying to get Noe away. Damn.. This anime was really sad and pretty. I'm glad Noe was able to cry in the end. 9/10 (would be a 10 if Noe was the chosen one) |
| Disappointed for the Shin x Hiromi ending, mostly because I began to only consider him with Noe, pretty much forgot there was a chance he could end up with Hiromi. I just hope Noe finds love in someone who'll return her feelings. Someone who can fly! 8/10 - Really enjoyed this show, I really liked how they developed each character and the relationships. I'm hoping to find more shows like this. |
| Ok, I really liked this show, but why, oh why did he choose Hiromi???!!!!!! She was the only character who annoyed me this much! At first I could understand because of Shin's mother, but after like 2 or 3 episodes (maybe even 4) I couldn't stand Hiromi. She had to many mood swings, she cried way to much, and she tried to push Noe away (I was so scrared that she wouldn't call Shin when Noe didn't come home). Noe tells you exactly what's on her mind, she keeps a straight face when she serious, but is outgoing and fun. She doesn't go through all these up and down mood swings. But like other people said, Shin totally didn't deserve her. It's been awhile since I've been this annoyed by an anime character. At least Noe was able to cry in the end. |
| I also found the ending annoying. I liked Noe because even though she wasn't able to cry, she was always doing her best to be honest and open about her feelings unlike Hiromi. Also, Hiromi was shown often to be even mean when things didn't go her way. Maybe part of it was because she thought Shin might be her brother so she felt conflicted about her feelings... so we can blame Shin's mum as well. The ending did make sense though, but I think it was badly done because in the last few episodes the writers should have made Shin realize his feelings unambiguously. In the end he did make a choice but I felt that they kept pushing the tension so far that I was left confused regarding whom he really loves. It seemed like they wanted to create suspense and avoid losing viewers by hinting at both Noe & Hiromi endings and as a result Shin seems more like someone who's afraid of losing either girl than someone who has true feelings for anyone. Besides, it was hard to watch Noe being so upset over the situation while Hiromi was much more composed, again making me feel like Noe had deeper feelings. Overall it was 7/10. The story was quite enjoyable and there was good character interaction. In many scenes I felt though that it would have been better without the music. My biggest problem with the series wasn't actually the ending but the fact that all the characters were something I've seen before. Shin was particularly annoying in his blandness, but I guess you can't have a harem anime or a love triangle with a decisive male character. |
| Kind of depressing story about how there's no justice in human relationships; Shin has Noe to thank for everything good that happened to him in the series but she doesn't get anything back from it. If only Shin and Hiromi weren't such a stone-dead boring couple, this might be a pretty strong ending. |
| I realized something after reading some comments, although i like them both, there was a part of me that chooses Noe more than Hiromi, after all she was always on Shin's side.. well whatever, i can just take Noe.. hoho :D |
chopstix121 said: I loved this anime more than any I have ever watched but the ending is so upsetting :'( I wanted a good ending for Noe :( It's so heart breaking having to see the hero choose a heroine while leaving the other behind </3 That aside, this anime was hand down the most realistic romance anime I have ever seen. Watching True Tears has also made me come closest to crying while watching anime. I wonder if there will be an alternative series for Noe :D But probably not and the thought is very upsetting :( 10/10 have you watched clannad yet? if not, why not give it a try, maybe it can make you cry, like it did to me.. :D |
| Tbh, I liked this series even though it was completely different from the game version. Catchy OP song as well. |

DeredereCammi said: 10/10 anime I gave the ending 10/10 because of noe finally crying in front of raigomaru's grave and the rocks shin spelled 'i like noe.' i'm team noe, but if shin chose her, i doubt her tears would have been as beautiful as the ones she shed in this ending. Noe was the right choose D: But that it's true :/ |
| well i like the ending .. no complain. . 5/5 |
 |
| Great anime, up until the last three or so episodes. I was one of the Noe lovers so, you see where I am coming from. |
 |
| I just had a quite weird experience ahaha. I didn't really know what to make of the final episode seeing he ended up with Hiromi. Somehow it felt natural tho, theyw ere childhood friends. But I did feel sorry for Noe a bit. I see how everybody hates Hiromi BUT. I remembered something that someone improtant told me and I had completely forgotten. Interesting though that exactly this situation with Hiromi and Noe reminded me of it. I was told once that people who change you somehow, even if for the better, never get to stay by your side"forever". The one who told me ths had a theory of his own according to which we all are somehow destined to meet these kind of people that reveal things in us. But those aren't the people to whom we would spend a lifetime. It was something strangely beautiful and back then I thought was kinda asspulled. :))) But now somehow it made me accept this ending for I do believe it was the best choice. Noe did help him understand his own self better, correct his mistake and be true to himself and otehrs. |
| It was a good show but I wanted Shin to go with Noe :( oh well. |
| Terrible end to a terrible show. The only show that competes with this in terms of bad romance is KimiKiss Pure Rouge. Nothing can win against the all powerful childhood friend muhahahahahah |
| This series started out so good and ended so badly... At the beginning I liked pretty much every character (even Hiromi), especially Noe. The first time I saw her and after that her interactions with Shin were just so enjoyable to watch, it made me feel pretty good. But they had to fuck up the whole thing with focusing on Hiromi and the whole unreasonable choice that Shin made with choosing her. Hiromi is probably one of the most hollow and boring character I've ever seen, having no character development, or rather, a fake one. That bitch almost didn't tell Shin about Noe not coming home. I also didn't get for what reason did she think that she had the right to tell Noe to leave them alone... Shin's mother was also unreasonable. Her whole purpose was to give Hiromi a reason to be depressed and quiet. She hated Hiromi because of her mother and expected her to forget such a "trivial" thing as the possibility of her dad being Shin's dad. All of a sudden she is like, "oh no, you thought I hated you? Of course not, I was just being a bitch for no apparent reason". And the dad, that man apparently knew about the whole thing, but didn't say anything about it, because god knows why... But wait, it doesn't end here. There's also Aiko and Nobuse. They were probably the most pointless characters in the whole thing. I mean Aiko's love for Shin and the kiss they shared served pretty much no purpose. Their little story would have been fine if it weren't made like it mattered, she shouldn't have been shown as the third main girl. Shin was also a very likeable, but he also degraded during the show. I can't understand why he delayed telling Noe about him not loving her anymore. That action kind of reminded me of Makoto from School Days, which is not a very good thing. He really should have talked things through with Noe, especially when he found her at the at sea at night. Shin's and Hiromi's love was also shallow, it was the usual "childhood friend love conquers everything". It was unreasonable, and as someone already said before me: "Sure Hiromi will be fun for now but Noe is a life partner." I think that's very true. Noe actually cared about him, and wasn't a possessive and selfish bitch who thought the world was revolving around her. I mean Noe was also the reason he drew the whole picturebook. She essentially made him to be a better person. And even their love in the end wasn't played out well. The scene when Shin confessed to Noe with the rocks was beautiful. Probably my favorite from the whole show. The show ended with that scene for me. I just feel so bad for Noe. Not because of not winning, but because of not winning to someone like Hiromi without any character and whose whole existence was about inconsistency. I'm gonna leave these two here as I very much agree with them: Without Noe this whole show would have been nothing, she is the sole reason I watched this through. She has also become one of my favorite characters. Hiromi however (not just her, but mainly her) ruined the anime for me. I would give this show a 6, but I said in a previous episode that whatever I'm gonna give this, I'm gonna lower it with 1 if Shin doesn't end up with Noe. Thus, I'm gonna end it with a 5/10. It's a shame, because it started out so good with a lot of potential. If I'll ever rewatch this (probably not), I'm only gonna watch till episode 8. That was the final point where I still enjoyed it. I started the show because of my love for Hanasaku Iroha, Tari Tari and P.A. Works in general. Well, I guess not every anime they make can be good. |

| Finally completed this one. Every episode is damn predictable. |
| I HATE the ending Shinichiro shoul choose Noe!!! |
The real world is past the virtual world is future. |
| Why should he have chosen Noe? He always loved Hiromi, and he never loved Noe. I wish this could have been a longer series! Loved it all. 8/10 |
 |
Red_Keys said: and he never loved Noe. Yes he did. Wish more romance/drama anime were like this unpredictable till the very end :) . |
Arararraragi-kun said: I also think he loves Noe, but his feelings for Hiromi are just deeper.Red_Keys said: and he never loved Noe. Yes he did. And I say that, even though I favored Noe over Hiromi. |

And I say that, even though I favored Noe over Hiromi. Exactly he just couldn't let go of his first love , if he didn't love Noe he wouldn't think that hard over it and then get emotional and cry when he rejected her. |
| The end, well like I thought but hoped was untrue did come out Hiromi x Shinichiro while fans of that match may now be totally happy I still think the end would have been lots better if it was Noe x Shinichiro! It was nice to see Aiko x Miyokichi back together or at least on better terms! The total end with Noe back at the henhouse had a sweet touch but yea still find it sad it ended rather depressing... but oh well it sure was nice! The whole anime was really nice paced and had a decent buildup towards the end with some neat character development! The art was also pretty decent and the anime had the right atmosphere to it! In general a great watch! 7/10 |
 |
| Not how the series should have ended T-T Shin you didn't deserve Noe anyway mate. 13 episodes for this one was too long imo. 7/10 |
| Do not feed the trolls! They bite ;D |
| I'm glad Shin ended up with Hiromi. However, Shin spent way too much time being indecisive and thinking about Noe; there was barely any romance between him and Hiromi left by the end. The last time I can remember Shin showing real affection for Hiromi was the bike chase scene. After that, there's a kiss, but it was very unromantic and seemed one-sided. We didn't get to see Hiromi's response to Shin's asking her out. There's only the implication. I am left so unsatisfied. Bah! What a waste of time... Although I must say that the anime was really well made, I simply couldn't get any enjoyment out of it because of the distinct lack of real romance. 6/10. |
Red_Keys said: Why should he have chosen Noe? He always loved Hiromi, and he never loved Noe. I wish this could have been a longer series! Loved it all. 8/10 Nah he loved both. Notice how he tells noe "when I look at you, my heart quivers" at the end. Where with the other girl who liked him he gave no such response (don't remember her name because she was so pointless). Overall he certainly felt something beyond friendship for her, he just ended up liking Hiromi more. |
| Good show, yet I felt that he shouldn't have chosen Hiromi... Noe was the one who needed love more, and yet she didn't get it... |
| If possible i want to give it 0/5 . |
GuiltyKing said: I said it in the OVA thread and I'll repeat it- bad ending. Not choosing Noe is like taking a huge dump on the whole show and its story. 5/10 because we were given such a sweet person named Noe That's a really petty reason to give the show a 5/10. |

And Hiromi's a pretty shitty character. Works out just fine, no? Hiromi is not a shitty character but that's besides the point. Him choosing a girl you hate over the girl you like is not an enough reason to call the whole anime terrible or mediocre, at the very least you should appreciate the suspense and how an unpredictable it was near the end. Because of people like you this anime is ranked fairy low and most of low scores are because of Noe's fans not because they thought the actual show was terrible. |

Your devotion to this show is admirable and made me realize that my score was completely biased and that I didn't judge it objectively but decided to listen to my heart (doesn't that sound romantic?). Thank you, unknown user, for opening my eyes. No problem and you can't judge anime ''objectively'' either way. |
