| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So Touko still remembers about his family's past even to this day. No surprise tbh. Apparently, there's still talks about script changes even in the series' finale. As usual, I like the way they show Touko and Yuu's character relationship together. We even got an aqarium date!  As for the show itself, I felt like it touched on the subject of love in a pretty interesting way. This probably turned out to be my favorite shows this Fall. 8/10 9/10 |

papsoshea said: Very great, one of the best of the season. Happy I was recommended to watch this when it was in its 5th or 7th episode. I need to start the manga, I need more! A strong 9/10 for me. My review: https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=297161 If you want to discuss the manga, Dynasty Scans is a good place. |
 |
| good last episode i was afraid if they would rush the end up to the play but they didnt @all now go read the manga its basically at its peak right now |
 |
| I'm just so glad the adaptation gave justice to the manga. Beautiful animation, characterization and soundtrack. Now it's time to read the manga again. |
 |
| Let's pray for a season 2 adaption! |
| I hope we get a 2. season otherwise I will never find out whether they catched or missed the connecting train. |
 |
| The episode was almost over before I even noticed it, lol. Well, what can I say. Personally, it didn't really move me, but it was still great and definitely stood out from other series of the subgenre. Interesting approach, beautiful presentation and surprisingly well written characters. Was hoping for more closure tbh, but well, gonna read the manga then. 7,5/10 |

| Great episode but we badly need a season 2 after this ending. I loved how Sayaka got back at the cafe owner for teasing her with her smug 'Hmmm', that was so gold. XD Yuu and Touko's 'date' was really nice, she was finally able to convey what she wanted to Touko but I suppose the real thing won't happen until the play which we never got to see. :( 'Only you know' is a very fitting title to the play. :) Overall, great show, wasn't expecting this to be so character driven with a very strong lead pairing. The other characters were great too and all of them had a surprising amount of depth to them which I think worked really well as it made the entire cast have a very unique chemistry. This goes especially for Yuu and Touko as they have an ironic but unique dynamic. If anything the show might've felt a little slow at certain points for me but apart from that it's quite well done and nicely presented. 8/10, I hope we get an S2 cause I really wanna see more of the story cause it looks like we're about reach a major turning point as Touko realizes that it's okay to not want to be 'somebody'. |
 |
| Pretty good finale but sadly it really signed off in the middle of nowhere, looking forward to a 2nd Season thus! As expected from last episode’s ending, we got more on discussions of script changes between Koyomi and Yuu. Pretty interesting changes to say the least and an equally interesting choice of title there at the end. Sayaka and Touka then appearing in the same cafe later the evening was amusing for some reason, Sayaka’s “Hmph” there was hilarious lol. Looks like the owner was perplexed over a certain factor and it was nice to see how that was handled. Moving on, the aquarium date between Yuu and Touka was nice to see and the insert song was really pleasing to listen along to. I was kind of looking forward to the play though, too bad we’ll just have to deal with the mini clip with the two rehearsing in public. As for the whole show in general, - Storyline/Plot Development: 7/10 It’s a pretty much simple and straightforward story with extremely slow pacing, which wasn’t too bad in all honesty but in fact it’s better this way in my opinion. We, humans, are imperfect creatures and this show did exceedingly well to convey that, for one thing, and made me really empathise with Yuu’s thought process and I really liked the presentation of this theme throughout the course of this show. - Characterization/Character Development: 7/10 Like I mentioned earlier, I really liked Yuu’s Character but sadly I can’t say I was invested into the Character of Touko however. From the very start, I found her to be unreasonable and while it might have reduced over time, it still didn’t manage to unfaze my experience. As for the other characters, really nice and a fresh bunch which was nice to have overall. - Art/Animation Scale: 8/10 Animation style was stellar throughout and it really have off a moody feeling which really elevated the excitement. Some of the close shots and the first character movements were a nice asking. - Sound Department: 9/10 Amazing stuff right here! Op, ED and the various soundtracks played were just amazing! Voice acting was spot-on too so a delightful treat, overall. - Personal Enjoyment: 8/10 It really was a show to watch! Netsuzou Trap and Citrus were disappointing from the very first episode so I didn’t even bother adding it to my dropped or on hold list, but this one right here was actually entertaining. -> Overall: Solid 7/10 I’ll probably pick up the manga soon to see how it all comes down to in the end but I really hope a 2nd Season announcement comes sooner than later. |

| great anime 9/10 will absolutely be reading the manga be sure to check out my review if u have the time :) https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=297186 |
| I am really happy with how they handled this episode, I thought they would skip over the aquarium to get to the play but I'm glad I was wrong. This finale was a nice conclusion even if the story is not yet complete, now I hope for a second season ! This show definitely managed to get my attention each week with its characters, plot and incredible visual storytelling. The shot composition were fantastic, probably the best of the year for me. 9/10 |
| Marvelous direction in this series, holy cow. Very interesting that it ended without the play ever happening. It wasn't necessary, the important already happened. Now they're going to "change tracks".  Very consistent train symbolism. Also when Touko is thinking about the after the play and the thought of "dying" crosses her mind. She is at the train station looking the tracks.  If only we could always have romances like this where both the author and the direction knows exactly what they want to explore and talk. |
 |
| This was so good! I really loved it. I was worried about how they'd end the season as the previous episode didn't make it look like a season finale was close. I am really glad they didn't speed up the pacing, and payed attention to the quality. The teacher is bisexual. I have never seen an anime with a bi character. (Although, I have seen ones where the sexualities are not clearly defined.) POV shots are too creepy. I feel like they shouldn't be used in romance stories. When they went to the aquarium, there was a woman who stopped right in the middle of the screen, and grabbed a lot of my attention. I thought she'd have some importance, but she was just a background character. lol. I'd kept waiting for her to show up again for almost a whole minute or two. Nanami and Yuu's relationship is so cute and healthy. There aren't many romance stories that do that. Well, this was a fantastic anime, and I hope it gets a season two. |
| Hell a 9.5/10 from me. The adaptation couldn't be any better! |
 |
They aren't, problem is with you. |

If this anime doesn't get more content it would be criminal if we look at the crap that gets made nowadays. Especially the play is one of the best arcs in all of manga, because the writing is incredible (we already saw some small snippets while they rewrote parts of the script and in the unscripted 'training' session in the aquarium). |
 |
| AOTS for me. I wish this episode had been more conclusive but I couldn't expect much more since the manga goes on. Yuu was an endearing main character but that was not all, the supporting characters were great too, Koyomi is ultra cute and I like a lot Myako (the bar manager) even though we didn't see her that much. In this episode, Nanami admitted openly the contradictions in the way she thinks and feels, an important point that gives me a lot of hope for the future. Also, I feel sad fo Sayaka and finally the boys were not a problem even though we could have expected so. In particular Maki has the funny "insert-character" tag somehow, since he was like us, watching the story from the side. When I think I was about to ignore this anime because how bad Citrus was, I'm glad I gave it a try in the end. So now I can say, hetero romance, Yuri romance, I shouldn't care, the most important thing is the way it's written. Furthermore, the way Hakozaki Sensei explain her preferences added even more subtlety in the way relationships are depicted in this show. Another positive point. I'll have to read now, hoping for a positive development. |

| Overall was a nice anime. Super disappointing ending, thought we'd get to see the show. Anyways, typical 'Go read source fellas' |
 |
| Fantastic. AOTS and prob second place for AOTY. Tbh this finale was kinda uneventful as far as finales go, but that's only because they followed the manga super faithfully and didn't rush to a better anime season ending point. I prefer that anyway. Well, I've already bought the first 5 volumes in English and will be getting the rest as the come out. I really hope for a season 2 as well, especially since we ended at a point where zero things are wrapped up. 9/10 maybe 10/10 but not sure since story is still so incomplete. |
| Yagakimi is like the newborn of the previous other series that are popular in this genre. If I were to depict a shoujo ai, this would be the first that comes to mind. Highly recommended even for people who were not into this genre in the first place but interested to take a peek. p.s. if you look at MAL's list of shoujo ai, and sort it based on rating, Yagakimi is placed second after the ever popular Yuru Yuri (and Kase-san is third). Though if you sort it based on audiences, you can see how a bit low Yagakimi is in the ranking. This and the mean of ratings show how hard for any series in this genre to achieve high scores, even if they receive high audience rate. Point: this anime needs more attention. |

| Touko and Yuu date at the aquarium is really heartwarming to watch. Funny scene with the garden eels. Souvenirs at those places can be expensive. Poor Sayaka still not have the courage to confess. Yuu can hold sempai's hand now.. __________________________ Season 2 plz... 9/10 |
| it was pretty decent and clam first time watching shoujo Ai and I am glad I did 9/10 <3 |
| I'm glad I gave this show a watch. Like I said before, this is my first Yuri anime that I've watched and it has been one wonderful journey. Yuu and Touko's date at the aquarium was lovely all throughout. You can just see with their facial expressions that they're enjoying their day and also loving each other's company. Another thing to note was that Hakozaki is actually bisexual and although she doesn't seem to have a special preference on what sex she prefers, she's happy with her current girlfriend. =) Overall, this show ended really nicely, with another train symbolism about then changing tracks. Visuals and animation have been pretty good, same with the voice acting, but the soundtrack for this show has been truly excellent. I want to purchase it if it ever becomes available to download or getting the album. =3 8/10 and I hope a second season will happen soon. ^_^ |
| Decent ending. It feels more like a mix of Touko looking for her own self and her relationship with Yuu. There's some boring episodes but it's better than Citrus. 6/10 for the anime. |

Showed how Yuu is falling in love through the song. |
| 9.5/10 only spare 10/10 place for second season to be there, hopefully. This might be just my interpretation but now underwater metaphor now have new meaning. When Yuu and Touko walking though underwater tunnel and the scene make it like they walk though same underwater that represent how isolation Yuu feel unable to love. Touko think "I wish this wound never end", want to continue this relationship which Yuu is underwater, unable to love Touko (and... probably Touko unable to love herself), while Yuu think "The exit we're already here", knowing that this type of relationship will end soon, once she can't denied her love for Touko anymore. God.. I feel so worried about how this ep. will end. It turn out that the didn't change the story but portrait it satisfy way to end. (I didn't get the meaning of "changing track" in the manga because it's in middle of the book and just turn to next chapter.It's didn't intend to be metaphor at first I guess. How clever they use this scene to properly end the anime) This is too good. If anyone didn't watch yuri before they probably disappoint they don't find anything like this one. Yuri anime didn't usually this good. |
| I loved this episode but, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, it ended up in the middle of nowhere, I want to see more, goddamn it! Anyway, I have to say that the first couple of episodes didn't really hook me, but once the relationship between Yuu and Touko started to develop, the series became one of my favorites and one of the ones I was most looking forward to each week. Season 2 please! Don't leave the story here! :'( |

| An excellent show and a loveletter to how to adapt a work properly. Everything was perfect (I'm still a little irked they changed Yuu's VA from the PV back then, but the new girl did an awesome job so I'm willing to overlook it), but the ending point was pretty bad. If they had left out a few extra scenes, they could have given a proper finale. 7/10. |
| WHAT. A. MASTERPIECE. I almost cried at the end of the episode. Not sure if it was because of Yuu and Touko or the fact that the final episode was over and who knows wether the 2nd season will come or not. I almost teared up!!! This is the only anime so far that deserves a 10 in my list and it might stay like that for a long time... Man what a journey how I enjoyed this! No Words. 10/10 absolutely loved it |
 plz @ me |
| This episode was once more beautiful, really loved them spending time together at the Aquarium. Even the little rehearsal was really good. Overall I really loved this Anime, way way better than I initially thought. Really Beautifull, Interactions between Yuu & Touko was lovely to watch! Shame they ended it like this, I am hoping for a season 2!! Solid 9/10 from me! PaninaManina said: Also when Touko is thinking about the after the play and the thought of "dying" crosses her mind. She is at the train station looking the tracks. To be honest, my heart dropped when she took one step forward when looking at the tracks, when that train was approaching... I was internally screaming "Don't you dare jump!" |
 |
| Before watching anime I started to read manga – adaptation is really good. I was sure they will end it on performance or they will even show some of the plot after but I guess they would need more episodes for it. For me almost everything was perfect (just some times I was bored because of the pace of the plot). I love development of Yuu and Touko feelings towards each other. Animation was beautiful – I want more and more and I hope wait for season 2. 8/10 for me and as I said – I'm waiting for more. |
| A sweet end to a brilliant show. Best show of the season by far for me. Loved the maturity and the tone of the show, and everything technically was fantastic for me. |
| I really do hope we get an S2 announcement asap, because until that or the manga getting finished I can't really touch this story. Which I want to, since it's the only show this season I will remember in a week, and one of my favourite romances to date. |
 |
| I'm so in love with this show, I wish I had more ;_; I'll probably read the manga zwolf12 said: FMmatron said: The episode was almost over before I even noticed it, lol. Well, what can I say.

| |
| This was a surprisingly good series. I'm a bit disappointed that we didn't get to see the play, but the open ending gives me hope that there will be a second season. The "changing trains" line leads me to think that I'd the is a second season, that Yuu will start to "grow" into love with Touko. I'd also want to see if Touko becomes her own self, or if she'll continue striving to be like her perception of her sister. A solid 9/10. Now I really want to read the manga. |
