This episode surprised me. I was expecting a screw up episode, but it wasn't and i'm happy. The only thing that disappointed me was that I couldn't see Hibiki in the contest.

My arc rating:
Tsukasa
Ai
Kaoru
Morishima
Rihoko
Sae that must've been the most annoying voice i've ever heard.

I need kainax to clear out some stuff... Plus I also want the Notable CG of the episode D:. Neway I found this episode conclusive and warm... Dammit Why the arcs are 4 episode long! they should be longer dammit! Haruka deserved it, Kaoru, Ai, Tsukasa and even Rihiko deserved them! Dammit... Feels like rushed but I'm pretty happy of what happened in all of them... Geh it's hard to tell why but it was pretty good Anime

Che... This episode was pretty straightforward... went immediately to the point and added some extra fanservice here and there n_n Dude Morishima was so HAWT and SEXY... Me wants *drools* me wants a Morishima Haruka *drools* Tho it's a shame we didn't see Hibiki modelling the Miss Santa Costume :/.... Sae in a bunnygirl costume was funny and that definitely concluded the feel that she's totally Asahina Mikuru but in anoter series hahahaha. Oh and Tsukasa in Santa's Costume was pretty too, but definitely Haruka won the Fanservice moment of the episode :3

Well whatever it is I was Happy to see Junichi realise that he did something wrong and I felt like yelling to him that he said what he shouldn't have said that time! And seeing him mping around with that long face was pretty cool since he knew he did bad but didn't know what to do to actually repair the damages he had done... Dude Umehara I feel bad for badmouthing him and making him less... He really has dreams and wants to reach them but it's saddening no one pays attention to him =[ Anyway he still feels like forgetting all those bad moments and look up to the bright future that's to come and live it fully! Great move really that hit hard Junichi and made him understand that he should weep and feel bad for the Season and actually try to enjoy it... Pretty much what he said is "The past is the past, do not look back, and just look up and see the bright future that it's coming!". And that's what they did!

And so that pushed them to reality and face their own problems... and man... I'm pretty happy to see Junichi had the courage, the balls to make up her mind and tell the truth to Tsukasa. Seriously if that scene were Junichi told Tsukasa that he loved her squarely is not the favorite form this series then there's something not right inside your head. It was so brave, so sweet and so well in just one word manly. That kind of confession really breaks deep into me and sinks and engraves my memory with a pleasant moment. Such a pretty and well done scene dammit! Had the perfect dialogues, had the perfect in the shadows ambience (which imo suits perfectly both Tsukasa's pre-arc character and Tsukasa+Junichi whole ship) and the replies... Heck those were so on spot!

I was happy when Junichi told Tsukasa that he loved all of her, I was surprised and had my eyes wide open (O_O) when she stomped on his foot and then gave him a wooping tight there for being and stupid jerk for confusing her and telling her half truths and then her bawling 'cause she really wants to believe him... And it was cool to see that he agreed to all that and stood still and realised what she needed... It was great to end up that explosive and frail scene with a great touch a heartfelt and long hug... bear hug nonetheless. And even the drunk teacher understood that she musn't intrude there my applauses to this scene... the best one... tho it was annoying to see some random scene introduced in between...

I gotta admit that the afterwords were cheesy and Junichi's: "I want you to make me happy" line was a total *facepalm* it was good to know why she ended up doing all this mess... So... as far ad I understood she was completely disappointed of her family and so that's why she kept a double, a poker face which one served as the façade for a happy good perfect world and the other for a world I should make properly perfect and just me... Interesting... Dunno what to think about that, as I agree with what some already said that it felt somewhat inconclusive is at the same time that attitude of a Hero that wants to give the people she cares a happy and perfect world, that feel I also detect when OreImo's Kyosuke Kousaka takes up all the damage in place of his sister Kirino... Of course it's not fully explored and developed but it really feels like she wants everyone to be happy... Of course in this case she does it hypocritically, like I felt since the beginning of the series. And it's great that Junichi finally released that part of her and made her realised that she should try to make the best for her and for everyone else without expecting anything back. Well done Junichi. I'm happy you repaired what you broke. And sealing the moment with such a sweet kiss was awesome pretty awesome.

And I was really taken back with the ending... WTF was that... a 10 years later one? One where they're married and have a kid? Damn that definitely closed the arc perfectly... It's like what the others, besides Haruka's, lacked to tell us what really happened to them, not what the fruck they're doing immediately after getting together... or coming closer at least ^^; (Rihoko's~~) Such a pretty HAppy ending with a Happy Family that reached their Promise and dream... being forever and ever together... Mini Tsukasa was so cute and short-haired Tsukasa was smexy... Perfect Ending for Xmas feel and definitely left the best for the last!

Glad I stayed over up to this point and enjoyed this series a lot. With the last Arc done... Comes the mini arc... and the truth behind all the mess... Me wonders what will happen.. I already wanna see what's so... interesting of Risa... Although she's a total mystery she's still interesting... And since I read that it'll be an hour special episode... that makes it even more interesting... Hoping to see a lot

I loved it, although I would have liked an epilogue like this arc and the first arc for the rest of them. The only thing I don't get about this arc is: why wasn't Tsukasa on good terms with her older sister? Otherwise, the rest was awesome. I hardly recognized Tsukasa with her look 10 years later.

Loved this arc! I also loved Miya's shark outfit in her play and Sae's outfit reminded me of the bunny outfits from Haruhi Suzumiya.

First of all, I kinda didn't like Junichi towards the end of the previous episode because he felt unsure of Tsukasa's change. It wasn't until the classroom scene that I understood why! "The Ayatsuji-san I love still exists." Now I don't know about you guys, but I thought that was sweet. However, I didn't get why she cried. Was it tears of joy or something? I didn't really understand it. xD Takahashi-sensei was like, "Ahh, I want a boyfriend too!" So funny. Then the other teacher says to her to cut back on her alchohol.

I loved how the both of their faces blushed after Junichi fixed her hair. So cute! Especially Tsukasa's face when she smiles, saying "It's a promise." The two really do make a good couple. AHH!!! Mini Tsukasa is so cute!! Loved the 10 years later end.

Next episode is Kamizaki Risa's arc! Can't wait!

Oh and long-haired Ayatsuji was way better.

Personally...
Morishima Haruka - 2.5/5 (She's definitely not my type)
Tanamachi Kaoru - 3.5/5 (Needed more development)
Nakata Sae - 3/5 (Aggravating voice killed it)
Nanasaki Ai - 3.5/5 (Way too fast for four episodes)
Sakurai Rihoko - 1.5/5 (See? I even forgot to put her in)
Ayatsuji Tsukasa - 4.5/5 (See above quote)

Really glad they let us see Queen Tsukasa in the future. They should've done that with more of the arcs, instead of just a couple.

My favorite arc probably, but having a hard time deciding if she's my favorite girl, or is Ai beats her >.>

Great finale for a great show. Though there's still that 1 ep coming up which I'm sure wont end up this good but who knows. Yandere = WIN so maybe...
Oh and theres also nishishishi

Hmm, good "conclusion" I suppose. Obviously she'd return to her old self, the confession was ... interesting? :O Another 10 years later huh ... XD
That being said, didn't really like her that much ... predictable and well, yea she was cool sometimes but most of the time not so much -_-"
Anyways, one more episode to go! I'm guessing she's the one that left him two years ago? :O
I'll have to give this arc ... maybe 7.5/10

This arc was as good as i thought it would be, Tsukasa looks better with long hair then short she's one of my favorites from this.
I guess i can kinda forgive them for Rihokos Arc.
I can kinda remember thinking how Morishima's arc was rushed since it was all in 4 episodes but after watching the rest none of them actually seem that rushed.

only thing they should have done differently for most arcs is put a 10 year later bit for them

Tsukasa Ayatsuji was by far the most interesting character so far. I thought it was more interesting and liked the ending lots

However Im still sad that the only one not to get with Junichi is Rihoko, I thought she was so adorable and felt so sorry for her that she didnt get an ending like the others...

Saving the best for last...

Tsukasa Ayatsuji's arc is my favorite arc with an excellent ending to this arc. I am surprised that her desire was to find a boyfriend during high school, and the fact that she has another personality and the personality she shows her classmates and teachers is a fake. I have respect for Ayasuji because she throws away her true personality for her boyfriend and for the sake of making the Founder's Day Festival a success and pretends to be the perfect idol girl everyone likes. I also admire her dreams of trying to make other people happy.

The ending is what I like the most. The ending of this arc with the insert song, originally the opening song, the promise, the kiss, and their memory tree makes me enjoy the ending of this arc. I especially like the 10 years later part and showing Tachibana and Ayatsuji's relationship. They are able to keep their promise to each other and even have a daughter.

~Merry Christmas part is also a nice way to end.

You know, I was thinking how this was definitely my favorite arc, but it was hard to back that 100% because of the unanswered questions/mystery behind Tsukasa's diary, sister, and why the complete turnaround to her fake self after talking with Junichi that night.

Liked the ending of the episode, it was a deff nice finish. :)

HOWEVER, something about this arc just didn't click with me. It really was the fact that I was left in the dark about the home problems/sister/diary.

Certainly you can say its not that relevant, but I really like knowing all the details. And even so, I would argue that it's pretty important knowing why she had a facade.


I posted an analysis answering these questions at the end of ep23, here:

http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=3385022&postcount=39

And ep24 pretty much confirmed everything I wrote. It DID get enuogh clues, but you really needed to puzzle them together.


Then I read Mentar's post.. you sir are a master of literary interpretation! Makes sooooooooo much sense now, I can't believe I didn't read into it as well as you did. So mega props to you. This definitely was my favorite arc, and Haruka comes in 2nd.
