| After a number of bad episodes we finally get something good. This was refreshing. The past few episodes are unbearable to watch. I'm not really convinced with the plot this anime offers, all I could say was its a wasted potential. At least they blessed us with a happy ending. |
 |
| Maeda Jun has fallen. I will be sure to stay away from his works in the future. There were so many things wrong with this show. Yota is was one of the worst written characters I've seen. And what was with the forced romance. Could've made it platonic or familial but apparently it was romantic? Maeda, you disgust me. I still can't believe this is the same guy that wrote Clannad, Little Busters, Angel Beats, Air, Kanon and even Charlotte. I'm now glad you were not the writer from Summer Pockets. I still appreciate all his previous works but other then that... goodbye Maeda. |
 |
| WOW WHAT A FUCKING ENDING. Seeing them all smiles when Hina returned to them was a sight to see. Aww, they're all happy when they finished the film and they watching them altogether. Hina having the custom-made suit back is wonderful, I really want that. And Yota proving his love to Hina was lovely. You know what, I agree. THIS SHOW FELL INTO MEDIOCRITY! I don't know what they are thinking while making this. Giving out so much potential from the start and leaving us with oh so many plotholes and unanswered points is so frustrating. And wth is that plot armor of an ending, they should have left Hina there damn it but NO. Hina on last second actually wants Yoha. And seeing them all smiling everytime in the last half of the episode sickens me. I mean why would all of you force yourselves to the brim for her. Uh, the DISAPPOINTMENT. I'll give it a 5 because I am still generous enough from its production quality. But just like GOH, the story fell so much that it became really bad. Even though the pacing wasn't as that bad in that show, the bullshittery that I need to see throughout the show was just defeating. So yeah I'm sorry Jun Maeda, but what I said previously from the start of the show is that Kamisama ni Natta hi is a MAKE-OR-BREAK situation. In this case, it was a BREAKER for us and our confidence in your works dwindled considerably. |
 |
| This is the sign that Maeda needs to stop. Yes I was a fan of his works but his writing keeps deteriorating. Some, if not all, story arcs are recycled, such as Inazami arc and even this final arc. As for the final arc, it completely reminded me of most parts of Yui's arc of Angel Beats but it failed to give me some feels and Yota just made everything worse. The only uniqueness of this series is Maeda never used supernatural elements and surprisingly he kept that way until the very end, unlike his previous works. But, in all honesty, Maeda needs to stop. |
 |
| Damn, it wasn't platonic at all. It was real love what MC was feeling for Hina... How? Since when this development happened? Living with a stranger for a month ended up having more weight than having a crush of years on a childhood friend? And also fuck the decision of portraying Youta's actions as something good. Since last episode, it was more than obvious how bad he was at dealing with kids with special needs so seeing him "winning" over the health professionals was particularly infuriating. The anime tried to lessen this decision by having Hina being the one to call for him because she suddenly remembered his name but that's just bullshit. How is he supposed to take care of her while assisting college? Will she come with him if he has to move to another city? What about if she suffers a relapse and there is no health equipment near? Though of course, this last scenario is quite unlikely given how "light" this Logos Syndrome thing ended up being. I mean, this so serious disease was meant to be terminal yet here we have Hina after nearly a year of suffering it: being strong enough to play basketball, take part in a movie and even showing some signals of recovery in the process. "Cerebral atrophy and neurogenic muscular atrophy that deteriorates over time."... Are we talking about the same disease that caused her mother to commit suicide and the father to abandon her? Quite awful series overall. First handful of episodes were completely pointless story-wise and of course, this led the narrative to develop some horrible pacing issues in the long run. Not to mention the lots of plot points that were tossed aside because of the obvious time constraints. Seriously, you can't expect to develop a decent story if you have the first 7 episodes or so being wasted in having the cast just fooling around and doing nonsense. As for other aspects, comedy was bad, the way in how the series was forcing the sad moments onto the audience was terrible and the cast as a whole ended up being rather uninspiring in terms of personalities and motivations (Tengan started hanging out with teenagers firstly because she wanted Youta's dick. Come on...). Also sorry but I found Hina particularly annoying and noisy as main character. Only good aspects: breathtaking visuals and scenography accompanied by a very nice OST but other than that, this show was an absolute disaster since probably the Mahjong episode. 1/10 - Surprisingly, the worst anime of 2020 for me and my first "serious" 1/10 score as well. Man, and I thought nothing would surpass Yesterday wo Utatte and Darwin's Game this year. |

| Kamisama ni Natta Hi finished. I honestly don't get the hate I see. It could've used a few more episodes for sure, but overall I thought it was pretty strong and emotional. Not a big fan of the ending but a really happy ending wasn't really an option. Saddest? No. her dying after all this would've been sadder. But it still really really sucks that she didn't recover. I can understand rating this like 6 (7 being average) but anything lower just makes me laugh. It wasn't really offensively bad in any way. |

It wasn't really offensively bad in any way. It has a lot of it's flaws in how things connect but there's a lot of strong themes within the show that counter it. You call it "Bad writing" just because you can't understand it. https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1884752 this thread explains some of these things. There's more though. TLDR the show doesn't translate strongly to western audiences. Also not sure why you even watch anime when your average is 6 which suggests you just hate most anime anyway. |
|
| It seems I'm in the minority when I consider this an above-average anime. It set out to accomplish a sharp tonal contrast and, in my opinion, succeeded wonderfully; the pacing, story composition and even direction/auditory control was transformed by episode 10, culminating in a fitting end that typified the contradictory and dichotomous nature of the anime itself. A solid 7/10, Hina was the linchpin, and she nailed it. |

Hina was supposed to succumb to the disease. She did not without any rational explanation. Her condition and health wasn't emphasized. |
| The episodes were just so random, specially the celebrity joining in a bunch of kids, what was the point. Then all of a sudden Hina realizes that it's only her world that ends (we all saw that coming) and the series takes a 180 turn. They didn't build any relations between the character, everything was just on a whim so I couldn't feel sad for any of them. The drama was way too forced. Also I don't get Hina's illness, wasn't she completely unable to walk before? How in the world did a quantum computer fix all of that and how was she still able to walk after they took it out. Her remembering Yota exactly when he was leaving was kinda generic as well was totally expecting it at that point. |

I mean, they didn't SAY how much time it would take for her to succumb though? Could be two years...could be two and a half...who really knows? Still has to use a wheelchair and can barely communicate, lol what do you want? |
  |
| No one is ever satisfied... In 11 of 12 episodes... the ratings never were so bad... actually.. 70%+ = 5/5.. And now, the 12th episode.. almost 60% low ratings... This was a nice ending... decent one... (Maybe we expected more from Jun Maeda). Clearly not the best... also not in Top10 of the Year... but at least, this was more entertaining that other cringe/normie series... with hilarious 8-9 scorings... in the season and year 2020... PS: Throught all episodes, i always felt vibes of Irodoku, in this series... 8/10 for me... OP/ED Songs... For sure in Top10 of the Year. |
| hmm kinda sads to see hina like this...but I guess the stry ended in a good way I guess |

I misremembered and had previously thought that it stated she was supposed to succumb but the chip was keeping her alive. |
Chiibi said: Fario-P said: Oh my god I had the same thoughts too! Legit thought Hina was gonna get killed off and the whole episode just reminded me of Air... god I should get to rewatching that soon, so underappreciated. I KNEW YOU WOULD. XD For reals, that whole scene with Youta and Hina was EXACTLY like Then I thought she might die as she ran to Youta, I thought she might die as she walked to him during the filming scene....and they kept faking us out. xD I thought she died when she fell asleep watching the movie. 🤣 |
 |
| Why did this go down the lolicon route |
| I've seen some people say that Yota being in love with a disabled Hina is problematic but they literally confessed to each other in episode 9 before Hina was taken to have the chip removed. At that point in time Yota didn't even know if he was even going to see her again let alone her state. This is not to defend how unrealistic her recovery seemed to be going this episode right as Yota was about to be kicked out or how the romance between the two wasn't that well developed because both of those things were big problems in my opinion. However it makes sense in the context of Hina being able to fully recover her functionality and make her own decisions that their feelings for each other would return to what they were in episode 9. I don't think it's fair at all to say that Maeda was saying it was ok to take advantage of someone disabled for romantic reasons. |
| Didn't expect that the last episode will be even shittier than the previous one. Well, at least it ended. Such a wasted potential in my opinion. I had a lot of hopes for the show in the beginning, but in the end, it turned out to a really half-assed effort into making a tear-jerker. A lot of things didn't make any sense whatsoever and were simply left unexplained. Especially Yota was completely intolerable. He's even more frustrating to watch than Kazuya to be honest. Well, not like most other characters of the show are any better. 3/10 |
| I know this Anime was pretty badly written and other stuff. But I didn't get bored, So 6/10 I really wished that the story was related to Hina becoming a real God. Oh What a letdown. |
 |
| I don't understand why this anime gets all the hate. Well, it wasn't the best Jun Maeda's work, but it doesn't deserve 1/10. I still think that Charlotte was slightly better than this. For me, it was still an average series with forced drama, unlikable characters and boring story. 5,5/10 |
 |
| Welp, the short film in the last episode is more dramatic than the actual story, definitely not the saddest anime made. They even dropped Yota x Kyouko. Despite of that, this is quite entertaining. I started my score at 9,now I'm giving this a 7.  |
| I had really high hopes from this anime. But I'm disappointed at the end. I'm happy that Hina will be fine now but this ain't it, Chief. Saddest Anime..? Nope. Sorry, but it doesn't hold a candle to the works of Clannad and some other masterpieces you've created Maeda-San. |
 |
| So yeah in the end it became another koe no katachi |
 |
| Needless to mention, but the music / OST's were really, really good! Especially the last OST during the end credits with the piano playing...ah, i like this OST so much. Animation was solid. But the story and characters....expected so much more. The story had the some emotional moments, but they weren't heavy that could me make crying. The anime movie "Maquia" was more able to do this. One of the reasons for me is the "rushed story" at the end part of the anime and also the problem about the flat characters. Couldn't empathize with any of them, except Izanami and her dad. The rest of the cast was just boring for me. Sadly the worst anime adaption of Jun Maeda. Just can rate it as 5 / 10. I just hope for better anime next time with qualities like Clannad, Kanon. |
| People love hating on Jun Maeda like it's the coolest thing to do. I mean I can understand the argument against Charlotte for being rushed af in the end, despite the fact that I quite enjoyed the last episode. This one tho... idk? I loved the comedy this series put out. I think it's some of the funniest stuff he has done. I can see how it takes away from where the series goes. Comedy in the first half and drama in the second is very formulaic for this kinda show, but perhaps ppl found it extra annoying this time? I mean the second half was certainly much worse than the first half, but it's not god awful and it doesn't take away the greatness of bar rescue and co. Whatever, maybe you guys should just say away from 12 episode Maeda originals since they always follow the same formula. |
| Jun Maeda must have been very proud of himself when he was writing the movie's plot and how it parallels Hina's life. Wow such kino.... You know, i would like to see how Clannad and Kanon would turn out if he were to write them now. Am I harsh? Was this the limitations of 12 episodes? Honestly, i doubt it. The episodes about the celebrity and the ramen shop AND their characters werent even needed. Hell even that hacker kid wasnt needed. This could have really worked with 12 eps if he wanted to make something good. Hell Angel Beats was 1 cour and still was a lot better. Will anyone remember this in a few years? |
| I thought this show will be somewhat special when I watched the first episode, since Jun Maeda said he strives for this anime to be "the saddest of all time". But after the mahjong episode, I gradually lost hope. Considering the fact that Jun Maeda's comedic writing never really appealed to me I thought that maybe the dramatic elements can make up for it. But yeah, no it did not. It wasn't bad per se but it was average at best. 5/10 |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| I love Clannad... I mean, it's my favorite anime of all time and I really thank Jun Maeda for being the main guy behind this work that influenced my life immensely. I like Kanon and Air even though they are a little bit too melodramatic (Clannad has a fair amount of melodrama too, but the "after story" is miraculously good) However, Maeda keeps disappointing me since Angel Beats with forced sentimentalism without proper build-up. I think the problem lies in his intention of writing a script. As far as I remember, in the revelation announcements of both Charlotte and Kamisama ni Natta Hi, he claimed things like "I will make sure that you will cry a lot" or "I'm going to make this the saddest show you watch." This mindset of Maeda prevents him from writing a quality story because all he cares about is making the viewers cry at the end. As a result, we get a superficial drama that looks extremely sloppy most of the time. I still love him because of what he brought to my life with Clannad, but I don't think I will have any expectations when he announces his next work. |
| The show tried so hard to make me laugh. I didn't laugh. The show tried so hard to make me cry. I didn't cry. So much time wasted on the boring sci-fi bullcrap when all it does is to mentally regress Hina to 3 years old state. Something you could achieve by just... have her accidentally hit her head on a tree or something. The idea that Youta loves this random kid he had known for a month so much so that he'd take her out of a top class facility and dedicates his whole life to look after her.... sigh. At least Hina didn't magically go back to normal because power of friendship, I guess. Worst case scenario avoided. So much time spent and so much importance given to this group of friends. The only name I remember at the end is Izanami. I rest my case. 4/10, both Jun Maeda and PA works are going down hill. |
 |
| Well, this was actually even worse than I imagined, this time Maeda topped even Charlotte with his trainwreck writing. Sum of the last episode would be the word 'cringe' and the movie they worked on was nothing but mess. When good memories were mentioned I had to laugh as nothing in this series felt like characters had any chemistry between them, quite contrary, most of their lines were forced. Whole series led basically nowhere, characters were joke and it was complete was of time. There were probably only one good episode with Izanami (ep5) and even though she was reduced to nothing after that, the same as every other character. Hina was unlikable from the start and the MC was annoying as fuck for the most of the series. 2/10 and I'm still generous as this is Maeda's worst work to date. Can't really understand how something like this could have been written by someone who wrote Clannad before. He should ditch writing completely and focus on making good soundtracks instead. |
