This is the best graduation scenes I have ever seen in an anime and the best episode of the series. 10/10

That wS retarded. You give a speech to the whole school, and you only talk about your friends? Great way to alienate everyone else. Jesus they need to get off their high horse and realize that there were other ppl in that auditorium that didn't give two shits about their silly ass hall. Can't believe the staff didn't stop her....

It was definitely a bit self-centered to be talking about just your own friends and memories during a graduation speech, but to be honest I didn't care because it was excellent.. that is how you make an emotional episode. It didn't feel forced like in the previous few episodes. Definitely invoked those bittersweet memories..

I agree that it is one of the best graduation scenes I've seen in anime.

10/10 episode.

Goddamnit Misaki, why did you had to make such an emotionnal speech, I had to stop the video to get the kleenex :')

Fuck the authority!

Ryuunosuke being a badass tsundere as always. I thought he would talk about the ''conspiration'' behind the destruction, but it would have been anticlimatic.

I was a bit cynical and thought that maybe even with all their effort, maybe Sakurasou would still have been destroyed, but from the next episode title, it look like Sorata gang will welcome their new kouhai :)
But it will feel a bit empty without Misaki, Jin and also Nanami - NANAMIIIIIII!!! :'( - since she was suppose to quit Sui if she failed her audition...

Anyway, way to end a show. I think I'll have the anime blues...

I don't get how everyone here felt like crying...

imo it was the worst episode, it felt so forced and it was so predictable and generic that it just turned out to be pathetic...

Maybe it's because of the effect of reminiscence, it usually works.

LOLOL so true, that's the typical speech though, it felt like "try harder to pump out more feels" to me, which it somewhat succeed but can't help but feel it was cheesy as hell.

LOL @ Sorata with the mike, he just fucking made and ruined the episode at the same time, if that makes sense. In this type of anime, it often shows students are wittier than their educators. Lol.

I cried during Misaki's speech. That scene felt like it was the graduation scene from Angel Beats. T__T
I'm lying if I say that I didn't think that it sounded self-centred but all speeches are like that. The speaker only talks about his/her life and all the people in it.

Best episode,i'm still in tears.It was so fantastic that i can't say my thoughts about it.
Why do i always feel sad when one of the episodes of the anime that i like have a graduation episode?Maybe thats because i'm in my last year of school and even saying that school sucks i still love it and will miss it :)
Misaki speech <3 No words,i don't even know what to say in moments like this,i cried so hard but they were tears of happiness.From the beginning i liked her so much,she is a very simple girl and very cute,she is just different....as we all are.Jin is a great guy,he was the best friend for Sorata all this time :D Shiina & Ayamo <3 are lovely girls with good friends ;)
Ryuunose in the end ahaha even he cried,that was a difficult moment to resist,Rita cried too xD I hope they stay together.
They changed the opinion of the school director to not demolish Sakurasou,because the students voted agains it because it was impossible to not get touched in the heart with that Misaki speech.They were so freaked after everyone turned agains them even the president of the student council (friend of Jin,i just don't remember his name),was agains it,he even said he was jealous to see how much they love eachother and all the fun they have there.
So Sakurasou was originally build for the students that like art so they could develop their love for art more without being criticized by the society,wow.
Again thanks Misaki for that amazing speech that made me cry <3
I simply loved so much this anime :D

10/10 :)

I find anime graduations more emotional than real life high school graduations. I'd rather have Misaki give the speech at graduation just to take in all the beautiful moments with me.

Aww Ryuunosuke x Rita scene was cute. They both blushed as well.

Wouldn't a staff putting their hands on a student be considered physical assault? I mean the guy knocked Sorata down, got on top of him, covered his mouth rather than asking Sorata nicely to get off the stage. If I had a son and a staff or teacher put their hands on him or her in a violent/physical way, they will wake up at the hospital with their arms broken.

Started off to be what would have been a great tearjerker, but then it became somewhat cheesy. But, hey, it did squeeze some tears out of me, so who am I to complain? Could have been less cheesy, Misaki didn't have to make the speech so personal to the point where she singles out who her friends are, could have just said "people at Sakurasou". Singling out her friends and thanking them leaves the audience feeling like a third wheel.

The strong bonds between everyone and their friendships are so evident in this episode too, which was so much more than just satisfying.

I don't think there was a moment of this episode where my cheeks weren't wet. I remember logically thinking to myself "Wow, she's really taking this speech just for herself and her friends" but the other half of my brain was just like "Ehrmahgerrd it's beautiful! Pure love and friendship! Waaaaah!".

2 much recap, it's great how she is remembering all the great memories that only involved 7 of the entire school. As a speech representing the graduating class, I'm disappointed.

Man, I did shed some tears. Not for the first time in the last episodes. This show is great really, and got very emotional in the last few eps.

Nice episode, loved the speech, especially the part about Ryuunosuke and Rita being together, I hope it does turn out this way, heh :3

The speech part was awesome. It felt a bit forced that the graduation speech of the class only included two people of the class, while the rest is four kouhais and one teacher, but it was really good anyhow so I liked it.

What happened AFTER was extremely cheesy, and I'm not talking about the voting but rather the elementary school graduation song. Unnecessary. Very good episode though.

Seriously, the best episode of any series I've ever watched. If there was ever a point I wasn't sure if this was my favorite anime of all time, this would reassure that it was. Watching this a second time almost a year later, knowing what was coming, I somehow ended up crying even more than last time. Nothing else has come close to filling me with emotions this powerful, honestly.

This episode had some comedic goldnuggets.

But apart from that the Misaki's final speech to Sorata (not the whole one, got mixed feelings) was really touching, it would make a great ending.

Holy crap I didn't expect to get attached to these characters so much, was tearing up with that song at the end :c

Wouldn't mind a nice romantic conclusion especially with Nanami x Sorata but something tells me that's not gonna' happen.

Damn, never expected so much emotion when I began this show but it's been such a nice ride.

Wow that speech! What a cheap way of trying to force tears out of your audience. Maybe if I actually gave two shits about annoying hyperactive Misaki then I would have enjoyed it.

I just cringed throughout the whole thing and started laughing when I saw the reactions of the students that they were actually crying from her speech, even though she was just talking about herself and her friends. It's not like they could see the flashbacks... And of course Kanda has to start screaming like stfu no-one cares. I thought that this series was going to focus mainly on Shiina and Sorata's relationship, but these shitty side characters are taking up more screen time than them. And now there's only one episode to deal with Shiina x Sorata. Even if I see a kiss I won't give a crap because you have to have a decent build-up to it. Reducing score to 6/10. This episode was almost as bad as the shit-fest that was "Bokura wa Minna Kawaiisou".
