Please tell me there will be a 5th season.

I don't quite think they'll end it here to be honest.
Hiro and Sae haven't even moved out yet. i think they'll go for a bookends sort of ending where yuno finishes and graduates as a new set of students move into hidamari.

I expected to weep but I didn't. Probably because Miyako had a smile throughout the episode. Please don't let it end~

There HAS to be more to it! I don't see it any other way. Well, at least until Yuno and company graduate themselves. I'll be on-deck for round 5 of Hidamari Sketch (and also Natsume Yuujinchou). I can sense 2014 being a year of epic proportions!

Great OVA too and very heartfelt. You never know how great the ride is until its all said and done.

Fantastic ending. Hidamari Sketch can switch between being sad and happy, making this farewell very bittersweet. Miyako helped to cheer me up, too.

Thank you, Shaft.

Thank you, Ume Aoki.

Hidamari Sketch has been an utterly beautiful anime to experience.

Farewell, Sae and Hiro.

Somehow watching the graduation ceremony made me miss my high school days :(

This OVA was more heartwarming rather than depressing like i thought, but it was still so great and fit the series well, also the art was especially beautiful.

Now let's hope Shaft will continue adapt this wonderful series when there's more material as this is not the ending of Hidamari Sketch. Season 5 pls !

A quick death indeed. I was actually expecting Shaft to animate something along those lines but I quickly realized that none of that can happen if the episode is only gonna show Feb 28 and March 1st.

Regardless, this was a wonderful watch. I was actually thinking that I was gonna be slightly depressed over the (sad) ending of one of my favorite, if not my top favorite, slice of life, but once again Hidamari Sketch managed to make a rewarding last episode mostly devoid of any unnecessary tear jerking moments. Truly touching and satisfying, it left me with a smile despite all the tear-wiping I was supposed to do. Damn you Hidamari, even at the very end you always positively change my mood no matter what.

All in all, amazing slice of life. I will really miss this one and even if the chances are low, I will also wait for a possible 5th season, even if it meant to have a vital part of the cast on a different stage of their lives.

I don't watch as much anime as before...

I have not had a chance to watch this and after finishing up some series, I decided to watch, and I'm glad that I did!

Amazing, brilliant, and hoping its not the end. I actually man teared up and man cried when the acoustic version of Sakura Saku: Ano Hi Kimi o Matsu, Sora to Onaji de was being played while the Principal's brilliant words of advice that any graduate of any high school should hear. Natsume's and Sae's meeting was emotional, and then Yuno, Miyako, Nori, and Nazuna little three minute thing was so sweet, and hilarious. Hey Miyako would be the greedy cat, wouldn't she? ;)

But Yuno's dreams with everyone shown in it and in the opening at the end, everyone was in there... does this mean its the end?! I want to see Miyako and Yuno graduate, and then it be done. If I get to see those two as seniors and graduate, then it will have closure to me.

What a beautiful way to say goodbye to this series really just wonderful! Really from start to end this was already a goodbye but that ending just made it the top! Really great franchise in general and I did quite like these two additional episodes that really created a proper ending for the franchise! All in all a very good anime franchise!

And it's over. My expectations of actual ending were a bit higher (in terms of feels) but it was decent enough close-up and good farewell to the series.

Have to say though that graduation scene where Hoshimitsu ED started playing while Kouchou-sensei was speaking and the background was changing was a little bit over the place with too many things crying for viewers attention - it lead to dissonance in the end, at least for me. I would like it better if they went with ED song only without director's speech.

I liked the part with Sae and Natsume though. Hiro/Sae flashback was also nice. And Miyako sharing bath and bed with Yuno for her to not feel alone was nice fininshing touch.

7/10 (for this OVA and for whole series). I really enjoyed overall slice-of-life feeling and those characters really grown on me in the end.

I don't think any official reason was given, but I highly doubt the show's coming back with the death of Miyu Matsuki (and the longer they wait, the less likely it's gonna be).

Great OVA, great thematic ending to the series. Going to check out the manga as soon as I can.

I was prepared for a more heavy, dramatic episode, but I'm glad they didn't make it too serious and kept it light to a perfect amount. Just like the series has always been, just like life.

What a wonderful month it has been, watching Hidamari Sketch every day. I've always been a huge fan of SOL shows, especially the "cute-girls" (Kirara family) subgenre, but what makes Hidamari Sketch different from the vast majority is how "human" the characters felt. From watching the characters enjoying their daily lives in high school to their worries about college and the future was something that almost everyone can relate too. I know there were numerous episodes that really hit close to home and taught me life lessons I wish I knew when I was younger.

Anyway, what a beautiful, fitting conclusion to the series. Thank you Hidamari Sketch for helping me remember the simple joys of life and putting a smile on my face with every episode I watched.

Poor Natsume. That was so sad segment. :( Probably the most touching moment ever in Hidamari Sketch.

I guess this was a good conclusion to the series.

Overall, a funny ride that lasted for 60 episodes.

Pain. Just pain. I was quite happy to start this series a month ago considering how long it is and I knew it would've hurt more and more as I approached its ending.

One of the best SOL series ever made.
