A suitable ending for the series, even if it only gave closure to Asuka. Though I can't give credit for this anime exploring beyond what it was capable of it was no doubt a really fun watch.

Sux that Masaya didn't have that much of a role. But Asuka was a really fun character. Dem suits with the side Oppai and tight ass were awesome. Definitely the highlight of the show :P

Misaki was cool too other than her emo moments.

This last match was fun. The visual effects on Asuka's flying are really nice.

7.5 Fun series.

Pretty nice finale for AoKana. I will say that actually.
This series wasn't as impressive the more I got further, but it kept me entertained. I'll give it a 7/10 personally c:


Even though the story was pretty mainstream the art was very good. Although the MC can overcome anything put me off a little.

8/10 just for art.

Really, holy shit. The episode was absolutely fantastic. What a way to end this show. And you don't often see CR translating the songs, lmao. Seems like they used the VN's OP song as an insert song here. Loved it. Overall, it was an enjoyable show. Wished there would be more focus on the male character, but alas. Lovely ending song as well. Might rewatch this show again some time in the future after this amazing episode. 8/10 for now.

So now that the show is finished, can you edit out the "romance" tag?

I was sad about the so called romance and drama....Was only girls and sport. The one good thing is the Ending song that giva a good relaxed feeling.

And season 2 is about inui?? how do people like these characters..

And it comes down to Inui and Asuka to fight it out.
Well, there are two ways to end it like: 1. Let main character win or 2. Make them lose lol.
Anyway, it was fun while it last, but still want to see Masaya play at least once against Shindou.
Asuka x Misaki lol

They pointed out that if you can fly the balancer off, you can fly a lot better than with it on.

So... why wasn't practicing to fly with the balancer off the first thing anyone had to learn when they decided to pick up FC? Seriously, it's like race car drivers not realizing that putting a 60mph limiter on their car makes their car slower. Just... wut?

I swear, they must have created the sport within the last like 4 years if the players are still figuring out such basic things like this.

I enjoyed the show overall, it was really fun and light-hearted, but so much of the actual sport is just ugh. Oh well.

Maybe the professionals don't use the balancer ? I don't know. It would make sense for people to train without the balancer for competition because you can get better performance. Maybe it's just too dangerous for high schoolers but there doesn't seem to be any rules regarding the balancers.

The professionals use the balancers. Saki and Asuka were the very first players to ever attempt flying without them. Normally, it shouldn't even be possible, since the gravshoes are really hard to control with the balancers turned off. Asuka makes it seem easy, but that's because she's a prodigy. Saki's very talented herself but she had to train for years to be able to do it.

This episode could have been salvaged when Asuka's shoes went out...but no...for some reason she's just so good. No explanation, not even practice could help her control those shoes.

Well, that ended better than I thought, still not super-fond of Asuka being able to turn off the balancer after only one former attempt at it. I'm not fond of genius characters, anyway. I find the term 'genius' hard to believe.

Also, can you feel how bad Misaki could feel? Once again, she wasn't taken seriously. In a way, I'm proud of her now that she doesn't take it to heart, but still, you know. Wish the series was more about Misaki than Asuka, would be at least 7.5 worthy.

Good anime, over all. Misaki and Mashiro kept me interested, and Asuka was cute, too (albeit OP) Sad thing is, romance tag held no meaning. Masaya was thrown to the side, too much focus on Asuka etc. 7/10, I liked the art a lot, the atmosphere was nice, too. It could be 8 though, sigh. I'm gonna miss the songs a looot esp. the ending song <3 Okay, maybe it is 7.44/10

Actually, this episode was very good in my opinion. i wasn't expecting that.
but overall i predicted eveything. 'Who will win' and 'Asuka will turn off the balancer' I expected that. but i didn't expect the fight would be really great. to be that is a great fight to see. really beautifull. probably the best from the series. In the sports side, i like it overall. they save the budget for this episode i guess XD

And now on the sportsmanship side.... i dislike it and i think it's stupid. not really dislike it that i even hate it so much. just dilike it and i bothers my enjoyment. I dislike it because i think it is stupid. i think it is stupid because What were they trying to do with the sports. she was talking about being a perfect FC and bla bla bla....and on the other side, this is wrong.....bla bla bla.... well i think that is wrong way to fight, but not completly wrong. there is always a way to counter it. something like that which i dislike. and more like when they just realize how to couter it "OH! we just need to fly up-side down. i didn't think about that" Like what??!!!! even a normal human can come up with that idea in that kind situation right away!! i seriously think that is stupid. well, something like that.

Since there is no romance so i'm not gonna talk about that. i'm dissapointed obviouslt but! not really bothers my enjoyment.

i really like the sports tbh. there are some relationship between girls too, i like that too. most part, i like it and enjoy it except the Sportmanship. i give it 7.7/10. but! i put it 8/10 on my list.

this anime could be more better if they put romance and put a little bit more effort in the action in my opinion.

i wouldn't mind a second season IF! there are some improvement or another studio will make it.

Holy hell, what an episode. I was blown away by the quality, though I have already decided on the score. It honestly sucks that Inui lost, they could've just tied like two representations of perfect FC. If this didn't turn out to be just a Shounen with girls, then I would've upped my rating.

Not much to say about the anime itself. Very fun idea of sports, sub-par story, okay characters, good OST. All of this makes Ao no Kanata objectively slightly above average to me.

Final episode: 5/5 (surprisingly the second best last episode of this season.)
Series overall: 6/10

I'd actually watch a second season.

Lastly..:



I mean, come on, the two spend a lot more alone time together than any other characters.

Honestly i watched this series just because i liked the drawing and did not expect much on the story... Heck i almost dropped it after first episode because none of the main cast characters are appealing to me, but i'm glad i gave this series a try. Enjoyed the games and character developments more than i thought

This was a great series, lots of ups and downs and excitement. It was all pretty predictable, but delightfully so. With a final match like that it definitely finished on a high note. I enjoyed it all from start to finish as i love tournament anime like this, a solid 8/10.

Occam's Razor: they probably did invent the "grav-shoes" and therefore the sport to develop them within a few years of this series taking place (like how car companies put money into races to show off and design vehicles); no more than a couple decades. There's probably design limitations that prevent rapid proliferation but yeah, not super relevant to the story itself. Talking about balancers, i explained this on an earlier episode:

GenesisAria said:
As far as balancers, i can't speak for the the story's universe, but coming at it from a scientific perspective i can say it's much like the assistance systems of modern aircraft. They're there to keep you from passing out or crashing, but you can "flip off the safety" and go in full manual. If you have enough skill you can control it better without the 'training wheels,' so to speak, assisting with fundamentals. So it's a logical limiter not a power hard limiter.
To be honest, if i were flying with anti-grav like that, i'd probably want gyros or em fields for efficient maneuvering and reorientation.

...If they invented anti-grav boots, why aren't the cars and stuff all flying too? An invention like that would transform society pretty quick. You'd have to rework all of the airspace laws.
Last comment supports above occam's razor. It would make sense to have gloves too like iron man and so on, but hey, it was enjoyable. There's no point in nitpicking unless it's just for some additional curiosity or for a lark.

I'm so disappointed in this ending :( The first half was kind of expected, didn't see them going to extra time, but the second half was SO cliched ... how the heck did they let Asuka turn off her balancer?! Not to mention Saki and Irina basically admitting "oops we were wrong" and Saki being "oh so this is what fun is" ... yeah, that was just terribly disappointing to me >_< As much as I liked everything else in this show (well, the characters were just OK I guess, but the animation and music were nice!) I always hate it when plots do that ... and yeah, I guess I don't like how the underdog rookies can always take out champs like it's nothing either. It's a shame because I was gonna give this a 7, especially considering how it could've been a harem setup but they actually didn't get into romance at all which was really refreshing, but yeah this episode is gonna make me drop the rating to a 6/10 >_<

Asuka was introduced as a prodigy since the very first episode. The fact that she can fly with balancer turned off shouldn't be surprising at this point. We knew she had that much talent.

That was purely EPIC last episode on their Final Showdown with limiters unleashed!
Asuka modified the Delta Force and made their own Pentagram Force! cool!
Asuka's three on one drills paid-off! and her evasion skyrocketed-up!
3rd point is from the skill Hyper Low Yoyo!
Greensleeves tactics is ruthless!
Asuka's win is very great sight to be seen!
For me it was a Very Good show!

This episode was really weird for me.

I love sports anime, I watch a ton of them. But I literally started crying in middle of the match. It just pushed so much happy and positive emotion into me. Sure I cry to sports anime but its always really depressing and almost never part of a match itself.

I feel this episode is really magical. I think it done something that almost no other anime has. I love it from the bottom of my heart. And I feel it will forever be one of my favorite animes. Sure it was little slow to start out but this final episode made up for it so much.
