| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh I think Mei looks nice in those yellow clothes. She almost looks like a princess when dancing. It's interesting that she managed to regain her memories after all this time. Fitting for a series' finale if you ask me. |

| Ah, antique shop. Because she shot herself, she learned to contact with others in Meiji period. She feels like she is ready to go back to present time and face that girl who invited her in first ep. The dress is ready. She wants to wear early because the day of banquet is also that time. NamiDai's character seems to sense from her expression. That same IN song with "lu lu" and "la la" when she goes around the street. Many people including those guys are in the party. The girl appeared with her uniform, instead of the dress. Tachinbana-san's character danced first, then Hosoya-san's character, Toriumi-san's character, Nobu's character, FukuJun's character, while expressing thank you. KENN's character also expressed his feeling and told her to go to the park where they first met. NamiDai's character lets her go. They kissed. Wow, Morikawa-san's character is sad to see her go. Magic is finale? And that charm with fox breaking... (does that mean he is the soul of the fox charm?) She changed the past and decided to talk to them. NamiDai's character trusts that he can meet her again. All guys gathered to cheer him up. ED 1 (regular duet ver.) to finish up. |

| I really cried at that kiss, subarashii |
| This was so sad! Somehow, I knew we would see her go. Ever since the first episode I have been debating the possible outcomes. Will she stay with him? Well, she would be leaving her family and entire life behind, not to mention likley changing the future by becoming his wife. It seemed her leaving was the only possible ending. The scene a few episodes ago where she decides she wants to stay had me suspicious. Too... happy. Too cheerful and sudden. Knew it was too good to be true. Hopefully they do see her again. She will fix her present and then make her way back to the past where she can continue living there. I am curious about Charlie's characters however. Is he one of the spirits that she used to talk to? Is he gone now? Wonder if they will ever make another season. |

MayInu said: Such a waste of time. I wanted her to stay with Ougai. Poor guy got his second heartbrake. They did see her again in the future, but as ghosts since their souls kinda stayed in their art (ougai's books/shunsou's paiting), but that's not enough for me. I didn't expect much from an otome and even less from this one since it had a very childish feel to it, but boy that ending was disappointing. The problem with the ending is they gave no compelling reason for her to return to her time. Making friends with those girls, was that more important than staying with Ougai? Maybe if they at least gave some hints of family she would miss if she stayed in the past it would have made sense why she returned. |
| this is so sad, in the first stage the final is more open, i'll take the stage final :'( |

| Loved that Mei changed and grew from the show. Didn't expect those guys to be antiques in the Meiji era, that was surprising. Charlie contributed a lot to her transformation. I also liked the dancing ending with the guys and the beautiful kiss she gave Ougai, truly amazing. I guess we all knew the ending was going to be about her and not romance. I also got a bit emotional when she mentioned her past and how much isolation she endured. Overall it was a good show with decent characters, the plot was good and flowy. The animation was standard, the only problem was that she meddled so much in those guys affairs and annoyed me sometimes. She often neglected some things and do the next, like when she looked for the black cat with Syunso or just doesn't pay attention to her man. 7/10. |

ReikaChan19 said: I guess this is what happens when you create characters inspired by real ppl. If you see it from that point of view, it was obvious she would go back. Still sucks. If the otome game (as i understand this anime comes from) had the same kind of ending, then it must have rlly sucked. If you're making an otome game then you obviously expect to end up with one of the guys. And if they chose Ougai's route for this anime, why the f*ck make her go back to her time for some chicks that talked behind her back? give me a break. ><'' The anime was enjoyable, but the last episode definitely ruined it for me. You have missed the whole point of the show. Yes this is a romance but more importantly this is a story about a persons growth/transformation from being a outcast(separating her world(which are the ghosts) from everyone else's worlds) to become a more vibrant open person(opening her hidden self, which is her true self, to others and coming into contact with other people's worlds. Which is what happened in the entire show with all the other characters) She didn't go back to her time because she cared more about the girls than Ougai-san, she went because that is the right thing to do, she needs to right all her wrongs, she needs to become her true self in her true time period which is the future. At the beginning of the show her future self was the "antagonist" of the entire show, she just defeated it. |

Thank god somebody gets it, i think this ending was even better than her staying in the past, and it had a better inpact on me |
| Now I prefer how the movie ended instead... this is kinda disappointing... poor Ougai-san... |

| Enjoyable and I can understand why she went back to her time, still wasn’t the best to watch this season |
| I had a feeling the last episode would end this way. I felt bad for Oogai-san... his heart is broken again </3 Even so, I like this anime 7/10. |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| Well, a little sad end, but it probably had to be like that. Anime is not thrilling but enjoyable. OST and ED deserve a big plus for me. Of course, the song about electricity is also memorable. Score: 6/10 |
| I didn't hate the show or anything - it was quite enjoyable - but at the same time it just wasn't really that great. The change we saw from Mei just didn't really seem earned. She gained confidence because EVERY guy she met in the Meiji period fawned over her. |
| That was a nice farewell kiss by Mei to Ougai! in the end she needs to go back to her time line! at least she has a more wonderful expression and impressive smile than ever! at least all dude were able to have a "last dance" with Mei. 5/5. 7/10. |

GoldenTigress said: To those who feel that ending was good and meaningful. Why do you thing so? I'm curious about your point of view! I'm not sure it was executed very well but the way I saw it was Mei realized that when she's herself people like her. Before she was defined through the rumors of others. She literally needed to put herself back in the world and let people discover who she really is. When we saw her in the past - one of her classmates had invited her out - Mei had been closed off as symbolized by the headphones she was wearing but the second time we saw that scene she accepted the invitation. Of course her thoughts on who she left behind are a mystery. Maybe it was all a dream of some sort brought on by her ability to interact with spirits. All the show's men were tsukumogami as referenced by the objects in her room. |
| no just no She gave up everything for what? Some fleeting high school friends and dessert? If she didn't even miss her family (never been mentioned even once) then she could have just stayed with Ougai and all her new male friends and kept living as who she always wanted to be. |
 |
| I would totally watch a second season! Honestly my heart broke they had to leave each other! :( I hope they meet again someday~ |

I agree. > _ < she never once mentioned her parents. did she even have any>? |
"Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark" |
| Oh my! What can I say? Such a touching ending, but I don't think there was any other way. As harems go, this one was tastefully done. I like that Mei befriended all the guys, yet kept her eye on the prize. There was no indecisiveness, and I respect that although Ougai was not my personal choice for her Which is why I'm glad it ended the way it did. Ah, Shunsou, my love, do not despair. There is a black cat out there waiting just for you. |
| Okay ending and show...mostly just watched it for Shunzou, though the other characters were interesting as well. I hope I'm not the only one bummed that Mei just ran past Shunzou like nothing...*sighs* |
| The show was great I would’ve rated it higher but I hate endings that are left for audience to decide whether or not Mei will ever see Ougai again.. I would’ve liked it if she got to see all the guys reincarnated in the present that way my heart would’ve been happier but what I can say I enjoyed this ride ^_^ can’t complain just a bit !! |
| Eh, this ending has me quite conflicted. While it seems like a given that Mei couldn't actually stay in the past, her reasoning for returning to the present is so shoddy. Like "Hey, I found a place to belong and the love of my life, but I really need to get back to my time so I can accept this girl's invite and sing some karaoke." It just lacks any sense of priority. Though with that said, I suppose one could say that Mei's time in the Meiji Era helped her grow & prepare so that she could find her own place to belong in the present. While she had to say farewell to Ougai and the others, the works they poured their heart & soul into will watch over Mei in the present. Also, I'm guessing that the various ghosts are spirits of Ougai and the other guys she met. It would have been nice to get a bit of a confirmation on that by hearing their voices say her name as she joined the other girls. Overall, this had some pretty solid moments dealing with the various ghosts & supernatural encounters. Syunso's scenario was probably the most emotional for me. I just wish that it had ended differently or, at the very least, made the reason for this farewell more compelling. 6.5/10 |

| Welp, I was really enjoying this anime, until the last episode. The ending... just... why? It had me in tears, but not because it was particularly touching. I just felt bad for Ougai-san. He already had to experience one heartache, but apparently that and all the times Mei promised she would stay by his side meant nothing as soon as her memories came back. Maybe if her reasoning for going back wasn't so shallow it wouldn't have been as bad, but nope. The ending wasn't even bittersweet. And it was so unrealistic... You cannot convince me that any girl in Mei's situation would choose to go back and not stay with a guy as sweet and handsome as Ougai-san. I was enjoying it enough to give it a 9, but the last episode ruined it. I was gracious and gave it a 7/10. |
| Not gonna lie I almost cried at that kissing scene ;____; WHYYYY my heart feels empty now. Hanara_Aeri said: I think it will be more sad if charles true identity is the future of ougai who wait her. And he become the fox spirit named charles to be on her side again ㅠ.ㅠ... thats why, charles cry in the end, because he want her to not leaving him... ㅠ.ㅠ WOW. If that's true then I'll be completely heartbroken :"D |
