I was not happy when he went home with Akiko's friend in the previous episode and I was practically screaming at him, so its a good thing this episode was so great. silentdreamer said: Did they get married at the end? I believe so since the very last image was a wedding photo and the fact that they supposedly would have a limited amount of time together they wouldn't want to waste it. I was actually looking for rings on their fingers when they went up to the hill at the end so I am quite happy they included the wedding photo. |

| It was a happy ending, I find it sets across a good message :) |
  |

| awwwww such a good ending! it was happy but also sad :( |
| Awesome ending.. The only thing i wished for is more screen time.. But indeed this is a very good anime, even if it's only 6eps.. 9/10 =) |
| There's a possibility that I'll give it a 10 if the ending was the death of Rika portrayed by a good ending even if it means a lost of the main character. I gave it 8/10. The ending is good but I wish for a scene that'll put me in tears. |
| Great ending. Great anime. Sad or happy ending? I can't choose. Time is precious for them. 10/10 |
| Nice ending to a good anime i give it a 10/10 |
| Even in the face of despair, they forge onward, refusing their destinies and doing what they want. Amazing anime. Absolutely amazing. |
You can find me on IRC. |
| It's a good thing that Ezaki is presistent... |

| what a garbage garbage ending to a mediocre show. "Men have everything, they just don't know it." WHAT? There was no point in that line and they executed it like it was the central theme of the show. I gave it the benefit of the doubt, what with the nice allusions to Les Thibault, but that was ridiculous, the direction was piecy and uncoordinated, and this show was corny. I want my 2+ hours back! |
| This was an excellent anime. Had a nice mix of funny and sad parts. |
| happy ending... i like it... 8/10 |
 |
| I Loved the end! Beautiful love story! I love Happy End! :) |

Sylpheed said: Totally agree. This ended with the typical "happy" ending, but there was relatively little drama. On top of that, 6 episodes wasn't really enough to get me drawn in. Some parts of this show felt too rushed.There's a possibility that I'll give it a 10 if the ending was the death of Rika portrayed by a good ending even if it means a lost of the main character.

| I was hoping for a more tragical ending. I'm going to give it a 6/10 |
| Short, but good. I liked it, specifically the story and characters (And Ezaki's seiyu was awesome ^^). Deserves for something like an 8 or 9 in my book. hirahira said: I was hoping for a more tragical ending. I'm going to give it a 6/10 Hmm? Really? Think about it. Immediate death would incur a less tragic and traumatic ending. But since she apparently lived for quite some time, their relationship would only get stronger, making it a bigger shock for him when she would eventually die. Truthfully, even though it was an immediate "happy ending" of sorts, in the long run it will turn out very tragic and solemn. |
| The anime was great. The end was very good. |
| well, what was that "Men have everything, they just don't know it." thingy? |
| Amazing anime, a really good and touching story. |
| Sad sad :o the ending is awesome too |
| Awesome! Sugoi! Best Romance anime I have ever seen! Has lots of good messages about love. Well now, Yuuchi can only wait for the "WORST". 10/10 Great Ending |
 |
| Darn it, got distracted and lost it all. Rewriting from memory :'( I thought that was a great ending to a 'sweet?' series. The main reason I enjoyed it so much was probably because of the Natsume character. (Not that I particularly liked him) It was one of the first series where they've had a character so left behind from a death like that, usually i'd see the character as all 'I miss so-and-so, but our time together was so happy that i wouldn't give it up for the world, and i'd do it all again without a second thought' and then you have him, who I saw as not necessarily regretting it, as he obviously loved her, but seemed so stuck in wondering what he could have had if she hadn't happened, how negatively it had affected him, or something.. Then what advice he'd give to Yuuichi when seeing him in a similar position, or something.. Well, I found it all quite interesting. I loved the zebra masks. They were so out of place they made me lol everytime he came up on screen, and I was in hysterics when the brother turned up. I didn't like the Akiko's friend storyline bit, maybe it was just me, but it seemed like they were suggesting guys in that position who feel 'heavy' or under pressure or something are going to sleep with anyone who offers, and thats bullshit. (I hope, never having been in a similar situation) I also loved that the ending DIDN'T go any further than it did, it didn't show them getting married, it didn't show her dying, it didn't show how it then affected Yuuichi and left it just as they're two people in love, and are going to make the most of their time together. |
| I was hoping for a tragic end Though it ended on a happy note i didn't mind since it wasn't the cliche happily ever after ending (by that I mean Rika was going to die within the next few years instead of a perfectly normal life where everything was magically fixed by some unlikely fate at the end) overall i enjoyed the romance with the little bits of comedy i do however think that the whole Akiko's friend hits on Ezaki scene was unnecessary. overall I give it 8/10 |

| i enjoyed this anime, though it was short.. it left me with the importance of time and how it shouldn't be wasted. |
 |
| Still didn't like that doctor, somehow this is the only i felt after watching it..6/10, good ending btw like that smoking nurse and Yuuichi's friend the masked guy, though i wonder how the hell he can easily do something like that and escaped from the hospital many times.. |
 |
| Good anime indeed. An ending with a mix of sadness and happyness to it, but an interesting love story and powerful theme. |
 |
| This is probably one of the best endings I've seen to an anime. It fits perfectly with the powerful message that it tells. We see what life is like for the couple during the ending credits in previous eps (getting married, etc) so at least they live happily even if it's for a limited time. Only complaint would be that it would have been much better if it was 13 or 26 eps (I mean, there are 8 volumes of the novel that could have been adapted!). Never thought a 6-episode series could leave such a lasting impression on me with its two main characters and its powerful message... |

I'd give it a 7/10. |

| A decent anime.. they coulda done it better though. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| It was quite well executed for only six episodes. It's a bit sad that even though it had a good ending, we know that the reality isn't so. Some bits were a bit childish to me. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
