| Sorry to ruin the mood but I think this anime is surrounding the circumstances of a massive earthquake in Tokyo based on tremendous amounts of weed. Even thru I think its 10/10 because I like weed. |
 |
| Haven't cried this much since episode 18 of Clannad AS. Overall a great series, albeit just a little inconsistent. Episode 8 and 11 were absolutely brilliant. It's a strong 8/10 for now - might bump it up to a 9 someday. |
 |
| Now that was a really sad ep. 8/10 for the series overall. |

| I liked how they dealt with the ending and I especially liked how the "epilogue" is portrayed through the photos in the ending song. People pretty much summed up what I was going to say.... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| ok, let's count how many tissus did i use: 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... and 9! omg, it has been so long since i cried so much while watching anime anime! >__< |
| So didn't want to cry but still did. Nice ending but series gets a 7/10 from me, I was expecting a lot more :/ |
 |
Wishy said: 10/10, this made my cry like a baby, really. Especially during all the Yuuki scenes of him and Mirai growing up. ;-; Then I started thinking of my own jerk-off brother and started crying. I couldn't imagine how that would feel. 9/10 |
 |
| That was a sad episode :O |
 |
| Perfect catharsis to a very good show. It almost makes me forget a lot of the issues I had with the middle section of the series, and I'm pretty sure a year from now, I'll ask myself why I gave it an 8 instead of a 9, but it's the right score. Those wondering why it didn't focus on the parents enough need to step back and understand that the show is a character piece. They had 11 episodes, and smartly made everything about Mirai instead of overextending itself. As a result, the overall pace of the show was brilliant. The only problems I had were a couple instances of scripting and the character design. One of the best shows of quite a lack luster year. |
| Christ, I cried like a baby. Like, 4 times. Great show overall. |
 |
| I liked it, 10/10 for me... (I give out easy 10's) :D Hm, this is actually one of the anime endings that I couldn't predict... That was pretty good. I liked it. Sad though. Well, it does sort of teach you to just move on, don't let something bring you down, just... Move on. |
| 10/10 for me, no questions. This was one of my favourite - if not my favourite - anime of the season. I cried almost start to finish during this episode too... it broke my heart. Repeatedly. :( |
 |
| The background music for this episode was excellent. The show overall was good. I think they could of done a lot of things to make it better, but it was still good in general. 7/10 for me. There were some parts that annoyed me. |

| I'm glad I watched this anime. But it's just soooo depressing... I can't believe I cried a lot T-T;; |
Kiddo said: I think you're wrong as parents usually love their children equally, maybe not totally but not to the point of disdaining the other (and yes, one of my aunts lost her older child). But that was not my point. My point is that the show is Mirai-centered, she did cry only a little on screen, but we can all assume she cried A LOT in the arms of her husband, himself shedding manly tears at the same time.saka said: The parents were rather flat characters also, since we see so little of them and they behave so conveniently at the end. Indeed. They cried a little but overall, they looked like as if Yuukis death didn't bother them at all. Hell, I cried even more than his mother did (on screen). I would have died of sorrow in her stead. I cried the whole episode. The only thing which disappointed me (a little, very little) is that it would have been even better if they talked again of the survey her teacher give her at the beginning of the series, about what she thinks she'll be doing in ten years. 8/10. |
 |
| Here we go, last episode, and I'm not all that late : D (4 last episodes almost in a row) First of all, Come on Mirai, don't get a mental breakdown now, please. That would make her seem pretty pathetic (in my eyes). So, how long is she gonna keep halucinating that Yuuki's there? Oh I see, he's fading away now. Come on Mirai, not a breakdown now thank you.. And not Mirai's mother either, don't get a breakdown.. Hoo-boy everyone blames themselves for Yuuki being dead. I'm not sure, there might be something wrong with me, but instead of feeling a bit sad during the hospitalscene in this episode, I'm more like "Oh just stop crying already, and do something productive.." Anyway, I'll give this as much as a 7/10, and I give it that "much" because the animation was pretty good, and the OP/ED were great. And of course that it was pretty realistic. Also, great bgm music too. Although that hospitalscene that I mentioned, almost made me give it a 6 instead. (Hey you know what? It gets a 7, and there's the 70% possibility of a mag7 earthquake in Tokyo. Bawahahahah.... Yeah I'm that finny...) Now that I've watched the last episode.. I have this really itchy feeling >.> Wonder what it is.. To be honest, I was actually hoping that someone would actually die.. Maybe I'd been more satisfied with one of their parents (or both) dying instead? Well I wouldn't know anyway, since it didn't happen. Oh and another ED song that would be more fitting in the end here, would be "Let it out" with Miho Fukuhara, also the current ending of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. (Just youtube it or something if you don't know which one it is) Let's see.. some final notes ...wait, it should be "some final quotes" Ah right, this one's good kashim said: Althouh I actually gave it a 7, and during some moments, it was actually pretty good.And so one of the most mediocre anime series this year ended. Shame Mirai didn't die. 6/10 for hit-n-miss animation and script. This one's good too J-970 said: I quite agree to this....Is it bad I laughed? Anyway, I think these disaster-based series are a good idea, I wouldn't mind seeing more scenarios, save for the ghostly theme. I mean, hallucinations are fine, but Yuuki seemed more ghost-like than delusion. And a last note from myself, I really don't get the whole getting emotional over people close to you dying. Edit: Never mind that, pretend I didn't write it. Another Edit: I remembered something when I read ClearSinz post below this one. This was not one of the better series this season. That's all, kthnxbai Edit, again: I just remembered that my prediction from the first episode came true x) I have now modified this post so that it no longer contains a certain person who died. |

| Hmm in the end i really like how the anime itself was keeping towards the realistic side.. uh not much else to sat cept imo this is one of the better animes this season (this is off the top of my head) 7/10 |
| Satisfying ending. Definitely one of the best animes from summer 2009. 8/10 |
| I cried the entire episode. It was so sad, but the hospital scene got me the hardest and when he was sitting on the bunk bed and she pretended she couldn't hear. That was great, very nice show. |
| o genki desu ka |
| This show rates a solid 8 overall from me, even if I hadn't wacted this episode. If I had let myself rate it, just on the pile of tear sogged tissues next to me, it would have been a 9. |
 |
| Cried like a bitch last 5 mins. Great show. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Nice episode. Overall I found the series very enjoyable. Hmm...i think I'll give this a 9/10. I don't give out many 10s...and I rate my anime in comparison to the shows I have seen so far. I think this is better than some of the shows I gave an 8 so for this, 9/10. |
Sonja said:  Stalker Wall is stalking you. 7/10. I'm tired of anime that drag after the halfway point. |
| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |
| Great series. It is nice to see a change from all the other kind of stuff coming out these days. Glad to see some more realistic characters for once too. The show did have some problems such as Mirai's realization taking too long but I thought most of it was very well paced and engaging. They got some great emotions through in this last episode as well. 8/10 |
| Great series that takes you on the journey of the characters and makes you realize what you've got and what you dont want to lose. Gave the series 10/10! |
| the show gave a large amount of realism but they used the ghastly yuuki too much. 8/10 |
cafe-kun said: the show gave a large amount of realism but they used the ghastly yuuki too much. 8/10 something like that but i liked the realism... 6/10 |
 |
| Photo album ED was very appropriate. This anime succeeded in what many series cannot, and that is having closure on the last episode. 10/10 |
 |
| 9/10 for me, it was a very good serie and a very good tragedy, but yuuki`s death was expecceted but unnecesary |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |

| This final episode is much more emotionally intense than the last three together, a truly brilliant ending for a show that had great ideas but couldn't execute everything well enough. Thanks to this last episode, I'm gonna bump this from a 4/10 to 6/10. |
| Ok to everyone arguing about the whole parents didn't cry enough thing. If you didn't notice they kinda fast forwarded a little bit in the episode to a month later after the incident. So they had plenty of time to be sad. By my count around 3 weeks, if you are an adult and its been 3 weeks its about time to start slowly moving on because if you dont the past will end up slowly eating away at you. BTW i dont know how you can give a 4, or 5 out of 10 of this anime. That is basically calling this show crap. Just because it didn't develop to your liking doesn't make the show bad. Step away from your opinions and rate on a overall anime level. |
| 9/10 .. i figured out that yuuki is dead before but it still made me cry a little towards the end.. the ending is also very well done.. however, boring earlier episodes prevented me from giving it a 10.. |
| Actually, if series ended with 10 episodes and you know at 10th episode it was like "Yuuki is dead > Whooops! He is not! > He is dead! > Oh, silly us! He is over there! > He is dead! > NOT! > Onee-chan, I'm dead." I'd probably rate anime a 6 because I was quite irritated with director's choices, you could almost imagine him writing on a paper "Conflicts; DONE! Surprise factors; DONE! Shocking events; OVER-DONE!" and chuckling devilishly. Drawings were not so detailed, almost feeling sketchy most of the time, OP/ED were not thaaat catchy but OSTs were very well-done, characters were awesomely created because you could feel their depression, happyness and worries. Thanks god anime had a 11th episode, thanks god they pumped drama factor to the maximum level by the ending, thus a shiny 9/10 to anime by making me cry the hell out of me *It was not one kind of "I was caught off the guard!" kind of thing, it really made me cry*, keeping me wondering what happened on next episode all he time and enjoying show throughoutly. Also BSS for the win. :D |
 |
| Great series, sometimes the art style lie low on some episode.. very saddening that Yuuki have to die, and not anyone else in the main character =) The scene were Yuuki left an outbox msg caught me off guard it was really sad yet happy at the same time |

| The anime was strong from start to finish. 8/10, third best this season. |
| cant wait for the movies~ :3 9/10 |
 |
| i have to clean all the tissue on my desk now, that was so sad. but i hated how they didn't show us mirai in the far future . i thought she will go robot engineering or something, but they didn't show anything more than a month away from all that is happened.. still, i really loved this anime, got 9/10 from me |

| It's finally over... after 11 episode of this so realistic anime, one of the best anime this summer finally over. a pretty much good ending with the onozawa family and mirai finally could move on and continue their lives. Yuuki's flashback fom baby, Mirai giving the present and the reunion of Mirai and her mother almost made me cry but for some reason i couldn't cry for yuuki's farewell. Maybe it's just that BONES too overused Yuuki's death as a tearjerker. Nice ending though, i'll give 8/10 n.b. : for some reason i wanted to see Mirai and that robot-otaku pairing lol |
 |
| The Yuuki storyline turned a run of the mill 7 into a solid 8. |
zinvince said: Static said: Oh but you still gave it a nice score =) niceTearjerking endings are not my style :| 8/10 The anime was strong since the start and although the ending didn't quite go into my liking it wasnt a bad ending taking in view the anime plot. |
| This anime had quite an effect on me. 9/10. |
| Realistic and sad anime. I cried river during the last episode T_T 9/10 |
 |
| This series started off a 7/10 for me, and ended on a 10. It took a total U-turn to the heart, and made me cry. Epic. I'm buying this when it comes out. |
