Since a lot of people seem to dislike the light novel's ending the creators may choose to go a different route with the anime adaptation's ending. Although in all honesty I don't really think they will. So what's your opinion, would you rather see the anime stay true to its source material or go the original ending route?

I dont see the reason for original ending, this will most probably just be conclusion movie that's all.

I don't even know how the original ended, tbh. But if people claim it's that bad, then by all means go for it.

I think, some fanbase dislike the ending because their waifu didn't end up with Tomoya - if they mean that ending.

I always liked Megumi more than the other girls. They had valid reasons for being in love with him, but the pathetic jealousy they had whenever he talked to any other girl was just annoying. Megumi was never like that. She was quiet and boring, lol. It was cute. Season 2 really brought out more of her personality and I was so happy to see her feeling things. If he ends up with her, I'm all for it. Keep the original ending. The other girls are just possessive.

Well in my opinion, where the S2 ended, this movie will probably focus more on Katou. I think everyone already knows who's gonna win.

So in conclusion the OP didn't like the LN ending?...

For me if he ends with someone for a reason that makes sense than I'm all good. At least we get a harem where the MC actually chooses someone, that's what makes a good harem I think.

To be honest knowing now which girl is going to be with him, now I want an Utaha ending, imo she deserves it, I know there's the koisuru metronome spin-off and I'd love to see that animated but I don't think it'll happen.

I honestly could tell who was gonna win from the start. It is a light novel, after all. "How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend" It just depended on how they were going to develop their relationship and I was happy with what they did in Season 2. Megumi had grown so much. Her emotions became more and more real to me. Hell, even the other two felt like they became more real. Still don't like either of them, too clingy and annoying to win.

If anyone is upset by the obvious ending, Koisuru Metronome (Utaha only) is your salvation.

Either way i am happy to see that it finally got a conclusion than a cliffhangers.

I think for the sake of both side it's better to stay on faith to the source material.

Right? They showed that the other two had history and personality to go with their valid reasons to like him, but Megumi always lacked that special trait of her own. The story really developed her character more than just the "Oh, okay" vibe she had at the very beginning.

While I really don't like her, I can underestand why she won at the end (at least as far as the last season material goes), she is shit, but she has the best relationship with the shitty MC, so the two shitty characters make a perfect couple.

Waifufaggotry series will always have an ending that will piss off multiple people. it's inevitable, really.

Replace Megumi with either Utaha or Eriri and you'll have other people type the exact same sentence.

Even though I'm a romance fan I hate the "*insert show* was shit because *insert their best girl* didn't win and she should have won. It's complete BS. If you have a problem then write ur own doujin and no one will read it (lol the Eriri reference).

I really hope they focus on the original ending for the movie as imo it was perfect. And looking by the poster in the MAL page well, who knows...

I don't care who wins (although secretly preferring Megumi), I just want the kind of happy or melancholic and definitive ending different from the vibes that season 2 gave where the MC or industry just shat all over them or tried to break the team up.

Not surprised or upset Kato won, but Utaha is still best girl. Not often do you get a best girl so damn good, she produces her own spin off.

Honestly, this series is one of those where I don't really care about it's ending. Most harems annoy me so much I don't care what happens after a certain point.

I don't see how its a controversy when the main girl is referenced in the title. The second season did a good job at fleshing out her character more than just being the stealth heroine that grab's the mc's attention from time to time while the other girls bicker and be passive aggressive. Probably the biggest issue is the industry conflict and talent poaching wasn't fleshed out well in the second season of the anime and its kinda weird how they are going to fit that into the movie. If they are remove that section entirely they may have a better chance at fleshing out the romance but to the detriment of loose ends and unresolved conflicts that was referenced a few times in season 2.

Ohhh, that's.... interesting. I would have thought the writer girl would have won because it's so common, and they even kissed.

I would even say that it's logical Tomoya did end up with someone whose chemistry is working at best. ^^

season 2 ended in volume 7 i think, so to the 6 left in the movie will make it rushed as fuck.
on a side note, since megumi won, did the author follow up on the other characters or did it end with the main couple and the rest are left with unknown ending?

if anyone wants to know, he did chose the girl and the destiny of the rest is left unknown but it kinda goes towards the route of not knowing he will always be with her, you know, those types of "I won't give up" ending vibe, personally i wanted a harem ending or for utaha to win since she is best girl for me but tbh this ending is reasonable and probably the only one where the MC does chose a girl and it doesn't go down hell from that.

More importantly, I want to know your definition of A LOT OF PEOPLE. Do you mean, Japanese fans, non-Japanese fans or MAL users?

Regardless, there's been only one clear winner in all the character polls conducted and based on the rave reviews and high rating given to the LN after the final volume by fans in Japan, I can somehow add 1+1 and get a 2 i.e the movie will follow the LN.
