Aww, this was a sweet episode. That kiss was beautiful. Overall, I think the studio actually did a decent job adapting this show in the end. I'm rating this 8/10. There were some cheesy moments but the comedy and drama were done right imo.

I noticed they played the OP song in the middle as a way of montage. Kinda sums up all the memories I guess. Bard is such a player LOL

Grandma not seeing her. He encouraged her to talk to her, and after that his sarcasm lol~, though the last sentence is sad. Grandma's rainfall song when farewell... as OP? (Sort of) Doesn't really match the voice, though. OP aired during arriving. lol @ messiness, or rather... busyness. Wow, chef is actually helping out. Sugita-san's character doesn't understand though. Rain song while being lonely. Then he always can find her. I feel that was a rushed end, though.

That farewell scene with Grandma. Nike's immensely close bond with Grandma!
Do every rain song sound that beautiful? The farewell gift (song) was splendidly done.
Nike's really lonely after they were really busy from work from their trip!
"Tender Rain" never seemed so fitting! It really went well at the end. >.< The feels, the song. I might miss the song more then I have guessed.
Wanting to see each other again. From that mindset, they meet again. Livi on a white horse xD
Laying on the grass and that kiss. I want more!!! There are just the urge regarding shoujo... it feels like a kind of hype that makes me want to give this a 9!

It can't possibly get any more cheesy than Livi showing up on a white horse, saying intuition brought him there. Decent series, the manga reminded me a little of Lovely Complex due to the height differences, but I preferred Love Com to this in every aspect. Still good though, 7/10.

Livius is one of the best male leads this season. That white horse was cheesy as heck, but it felt right. Didn't like that stunt the old hag pulled, it was stupid and honestly she got lucky Livius changed so much since he met Nike.

Very good little anime, some legit feels here :)
8/10.

W-white horse... Oh my stomach. I cannot.
I was loving the feeling up to that point, but that was hilarious.

Loved Baba's song. And Nike's sadder version in the latter half of Tender Rain was nice too.

I think overall it was a great ending, plenty of closure and cheesy lines. :)

Ah, well can't say I wanted perfection from this show going in, but I think my expectation was met in regards to the title. The setting and everything just fits. Though I wish there was a bit more political turmoil, it was short, sweet and light-hearted. ^^

Really sweet episode :*)

Loved the farewell song from Granny. Ofc having that kind of voice when she's supposed to be an old woman was weird but still, it was a really beautiful song ;_;

Lol'd so much at what Bard did while Livi was away hahaha...The guys having the time of their lives with their harems even the 3 old men lololol XD

The part when Nike was lonely was sad :( In the context of events "Tender rain" really depicted her emotions really well.

Really loved the last scene with them missing eachother and lying looking at the sky then kissing. Really sweet finale :3

NikexLivi OTP!! I would've loved seeing grown up Livi if only once But oh well...8.5/10 for me ^^

Really solid series overall and one of the biggest surprises for me. When I saw the studio I thought it was gonna be a letdown of a series, but it surpassed my thoughts fully. I gladly enjoyed this series from beginning to end. 8/10.

At last Nike and her grandmother (Tohara) looks reconciled already but she's somewhat they leave her by her own.

Nike really loves Livi so much and it her hurts painfully when they were separated to each other... And because of that the "Tender Rain" song made a real part of her life.

At the end Livi came home to see Nike... And They really missed each other... What a beautiful ending they had made with a real kiss at the very end.

I have to give this 8/10 but I had changed my mind and made it 9/10 score overall because this Anime gave the Best Ending compared to All Anime that Ended and will End for this Spring Season.

Grandma's song is much better than Nike's.

First episodes were great and new Livi show up and romance started and I started dislike this series... -.-

Plus for Sugita-san, Namikawa-san and Sakurai-san, because thanks them I finished this series and for 12 episodes, if this series have 12, I don't think I could finish this series...

They are about 40 chapters out and translated to ch. 20, so they don't have enough "material" for a second season, but maybe they will be in a year or so.

So it ended full of hearth and feelings 9/10

The song in the entire series is song by the grandma. The series was ok I wish more male characters in shounen was as strong as Levi and not the usually weak soft type.


If somebody find Baba's farewell song please pm the title.
I just listened to the whole soundtrack its not on there. I guess its going to be on some character album in the future. I even see cdjapan not showing future releases either.

It was a cheerful ride until the end, I guess.
I feel for Nike's family, it was quite sad when she departed from the Principality of Rain. That last farewell song that Nike's grandma pulled out was nice.
Looks like Bard had a lot of fun while the couple was away.
A lot of work was piled up for Livi, that filled up most of his free time.
Nike felt pretty lonely, although that last scene was pretty compensating.
I really liked the characters in this one, they were all very distinguishable.
The art could have used a bit more work, but oh well. It was actually pretty good for Studio Pierrot.

8/10 Overall.

This show proved to me that it's not always about complex stories or deep morals that succesfully carries out the plot. Sometimes a heartwarming and, yes,also cheesy anime can bring out the same amount of emotions.

The anime ended beautifully and I'll truly miss it. I've already re-watched the entire thing and I've turned into a mess. I'm glad grandmother Kitora's song didn't bring any disappointments. Her vocal condition is still outstanding at her age, good lord.

I've eagerly read the manga up to the latest translated chapter so time for me to busy myself with other animes and manga.

Wow, the scene with the Grandma's rain summoning farewell song was absolutely beautiful, both the song and the scene. I almost teared up! The voice does sound young for her age, but it's not all that rare. Take Sarah Brightman for example, in her 50's still with an angelic voice. The Grandma lives in a country where their voices are very important, so she must look after it well. The vibrato was done very well though, it definitely added the aged feeling to an otherwise young sounding voice.

I'm weak with beautiful music. Although, having the soundtrack, I'm gutted to see what I consider the best song in the series isn't on there. Unless I missed it while listening to parts of each one looking for it....*sigh*. I need the Grandma's song on my iPod.

Anyway, what a fantastic anime, so much good humour, sad moments, angry moments. It had it all and somehow managed to balance it all out, ending up in a light hearted way. Really enjoyed it, and always got goosebumps when Nike sang. Will have to be a 9/10 for me.

I really really really liked this series.

It's my favourite alongside Sidonia no Kishi this Spring season.

Nothing extraordinary in this episode, but it sure as hell was nice. I like Nike's grandma's song. Just, a bit weird she sounds so young.

Got some nice laughs in with Bard and his antics. Also, i really liked Nike's singing as she was missing Livi. The lyrics really made sense.

So, overall, I'd give this a 9/10.

It had great music, a nice, simple but decent plot, extremely likable characters, decent animation that didn't try to be more than it could handle, some great comedy moments with a touch of cliches here and there. Yeah, I think a 9 is just about right.

Too bad not many ppl noticed it. I'm a bit surprised at the 7.71 score atm. Do ppl dislike the show for having an older woman being in love with a younger boy? Or do ppl really dislike not totally original ideas? I honestly think this show deserves a better rating... but then agn, i guess ppl wud tell me MAL scores dont matter xp
The most annoying thing about some anime is that they don't know when they've died...

Ah, it seems they're finally returning to the Sun Kingdom now.

That evil hag doesn't want to see her own granddaughter.

So she did say her farewells after all and it made poor Nike burst into tears T.T

Damn, a lot of things have changed while they were away on their trip lol.

LOL, perverts everywhere XD.

Awwww :3 , Prince Charming and his trusted white stallion lol...

Dat kiss!

Soooo, no 2nd season?

Love this series! Love the main characters and their cheesy romance.. i can't help but feel the fangirl side of me screaming in my head when they kissed.. kyaaah! Kyaaahh! I'm a sucker for light-hearted comedy romance.. hahaiz..

Love that scene at the end.. i think the glow of lights was beautiful which the manga counterpart did not portray that scene.. though the white horse insertion is actually alright.. livi as the king on a white horse.. hahaha! XD

Overall, an easy 9 for me.. off to read the manga!

Just like a lot of people on here, I'm also disappointed that the grandmother's song wasn't included in the series' OST...

If anyone ever finds it, or finds out the name of the song, please pm me and let me know!! I will be extremely grateful ;A;

Oh gawd I would've loved this too as a sort of epilogue "cut" if you know what I mean.

Man..I can only fantasize about it now...


Outside of that...I feel like this last ep was like....I dunno......the second half was just padded on for "hey it's the last ep! Let's put in some FEELS" sake....though it could've gone in some other direction....

Well...I'm going to hope more eventually comes....like an OVA at the least?

Grandma had a great singing voice there. In the first half was a little drama.
In the second half, I saw a lonely wife seeking comfort. Then suddenly, Livi comes with a beautiful white horse. Not to mention ending with a kiss. Wow. Nice going there.

I enjoyed it. It was all very good.
