10/10 ending. I cried rivers.

But seriously, I had no problems with the end. Because winter always comes, and summer goes. It can be bitter, but we must endure.

Ehm, it was a quite sad ending. Rushed but sad.

I'm an emotional wreck after this. It was beautiful (like Gin's face), and I knew it would be sad, but I still wasn't prepared T_T

I didn't expected that kind of ending.... I thought they it may be sad but it was stupid ending... Why it had to be that human kid. But maybe it was the saddest anime I ever watched.

Sorry how are you happy at the end of the film ? It has to be one of the most saddest ending ever. I'm still sad about it and when I think of the film it makes me sad. I think it's a good film but it does leave you with a sad feeling you cannot deny that

I wish that i could go back in time and see a happy ending, one were Gin maybe turned human or something. The film was effective, however it left a sad pit in my stomach that wont be cured for a while : (

a sad ending doent necessary mean that you are sad about it. for gin it wasnt that sad. he wanted to disappear by touching her finally. like said in the movie hotaru knew it was the last time they met. so yeah it was a sudden and kinda sad ending but the ending they both wanted (and be happy with) because there was no chance for an overall good ending for them.

but i understand your opinion and thats exactly why i opened this topic. i was happy for them at the end, even though i had to cry because it was sad

I just got done watching this. It mad me very sad to be honest. It was a beautiful film though. I was hoping perhaps he could become fully human or that she could become a spirit. That being said I really love this film.

broken to pieces...i know that the plot may be predictable. i was sort of anticipating hotaru to give in and glomp gin (i mean, who wouldn't? *inner fangirl speaking*) but i was devastated that some random human boy caused him to disappear...

it was bittersweet how they could finally hold each other and then, poof! he was gone. T^T this made me want to rewatch natsume yuujinchou.

boring, forced and awful.

I was like "oh, okay, gin is dead now, lol. And such a stupid reason? Are you shitting me? Why is this ever fucking sad?"

Yeah, those are my feelings about the ending.

This. I was hoping she would make a plea to the Mountain God or something. But then I looked at the time and the movie was over.

It was alright. Maybe it's just me but I was waiting for "something" to happen the whole movie but it never did. Never got the payoff.

I'm sorry to say but this entire movie was boring as hell. I know I'm one of the few who didn't like it but that's just how I feel. And it was too short, and I wished there was more romance in it.

Tbh I was not prepared and nobody warned me. I wasn't prepared to cry and after watching the movie I was so sad that I didn't watch any anime for a couple of days but I recovered 😂

While watching it I kind of hoped they would use some stupid asspull to create a happy ending (even though I already realized that this would harm the story).

I think an ending in which Hotaru grows old while never touching Gin would have been somehow even sadder, so I think this was the best possible ending for this story.

It was a interesting story, but I honestly didn't feel emotive at all at the end, the way to finish the story with that random kid felt disappointing compared to lots of other posible ways to end it, that, together with the pretty boring start, made me feel that it was just an alright movie, it should have been longer IMO.

I didn't like Natsume Yuujinchou from the same author, and this story was very similar in idea, so I imagine that his works just aren't my type.

It was really rushed, given it was only like 42 minutes long. But I wasn't crying at the end though, I just felt really empty and betrayed. Like someone ripped a hole through my soul. Basically, I felt wasted... but it was a nice movie though.

Does anyone know why Hotaru was getting the feeling that this summer was going to be the last one with Gin based on his actions? Cause Gin seemed iffy about her wanting to see him everyday by moving into the area and gave her his mask and she felt that he wasn't gonna see her next summer, so I was thinking maybe he had an intution that he was going to disappear soon, or was it something else he was feeling?

Oh, I had the rationale that he just wasn't going to see her anymore cause it was painful for him since he couldn't touch her so he was just going to stop before she out ages him and it becomes even more painful

I was stressed out the whole movie because it seemed so inevitable that he would die. When it actually happened I was kind of relieved that she took it so well and there was a bitter sweetness to it.

Hurt and betrayed. Nah jk with the latter since I somehow already knew where the story's going, but it still made me cry.
