| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I had kind of wished that Mamoru and Yuuna had ended up together in a bit more of a satisfactory way. In the end, they used a banana reset button to turn everything back. But at least Mamoru knows Yuuna’s feelings now, so if this were to occur again, the outcome would be very different. Overall I thought the final two episodes were alright: not great, but not bad. They traded humor for story in the finale. |

| Fitting ending to a average amusing little anime. Nothing amazing, nothing boring either. 6/10 |
 |
| What a patheticaly lame, sorry excuse of a finale was that? Ok true the series was never top quality or anything but this whole Tasuke business took it to another level of crappiness, his character was nothing more than a big, flat, ugly plot device without even the flimsiest excuse of substance... and as if that wasn't enough to make things even worse came the memory loss gimmick and return to normalcy closure... damn hasn't this been done to death already? I thought I'd be safe from it by now... |
| This Was A Good Lil Anime 7/10 |

myahon said: If the anime had ended without the banana slip and amnesia I would have rated it a 9 but I was so pissed at the amnesia ending i lowered my rating a full number to 8. This was so great up until that stupid damn ending. Exactly my thoughts, as usual the Japanese are first-rate at making unsatisfying endings. Do they really think that that sort of ending was wished for by anyone? It was probably done in order for Mamoru to keep his harem, as usual, so that the fans of others ships wont get their fantasies totally broken when the protagonist comes out and confesses. Yeah right, as if the other characters actually still are in the game, as if they had a chance from the beginning, as if the anime would even be worth squat if you did NOT like Yuuna. WHAT IS SO DAMN GOOD ABOUT THE RESET-BUTTON ENDING ANYWAY THAT THEY HAVE TO USE IT ON LIKE 90% OF ALL SHOWS!? |
| L O L. Not bad, but still.... I didnt expect the ending to be much different tbh. Loved the banana song tho, Yuna shud try it in showbiz. |
 |
| I am not sure I really liked the ending,grant it was a open ending so if they wanted to they could make more episodes. But still it seemed crappy that Yuna's memory of her confessing her feelings was wiped.Because your sitting there thinking I hope she romantically ends up with him and then right about as she might end up with him its snatched away. |
| Ok even with the banana reset, if at the end he would acted not on pressure or duty, but on his own will and said w/e he had to say to her, the ending would have been much better. 6/10 ~ ep 1-10 were fine, last two episodes were pretty solid but it had a terrible ending. Banana song is so much win... T_T |
| huh? |
| This anime was pretty good including its comedy and romance. I wanted a better ending tho but the one they showed was alright. Hope they do end up together. Bananas for this anime! |
| Nice episode until the reset. Could have been nice ending without that memory lose banana reset nonsense. And they have never made sequel neither simple OVA with proper ending, what's the point in open endings if producers forget about shows right after it finishes airing. Overall fun to watch, unsatisfying ending 7/10. |

| The ending could've been better. I don't like open ended endings. It'd be great if he chose a girl and Yuna's memories were still intact. And if he were to choose a girl, I'd want him to choose Hotaru or Tsubaki. Yuna may be cute, but she's an irritating airhead . Aside from the ending, the series was enjoyable. 7/10 |

| The ending was beyond retarded. A banana peel? LOL 3/10. This was a gateway series I managed to somehow finish~ |
 |
| Oh dear...Where to start... First, Yuna's eternally drug-induced high face never stopped bothering me, but that's just a nitpick. Second, the show sets Yuna up as a force of nature, hell-bent on getting into as much trouble as possible. I'm wondering she's even able to get to school every morning. Third is the last few episodes. They set up the scenario with Mamoru trying to come to grips with Yuna's confession, as well as his own feelings. The car accident just kinda happened, but it really puts Mamoru on the spot where he has to figure out if he's Yuna's protector, or if he wants to be something more. Then the plot happens and suddenly, Mamoru isn't at fault at all. He has no need to grow in character since it was all done by the villains who just happened to appear, and everything was solved by a heroic speech and brute force. Lastly, the banana. This ranks up as one of the worst ways I've ever seen a show re-establish the status quo. I'm amazed at how low this show steeped as it progressed. I know it's supposed to the a comedy first, but if it's trying to be real towards the end, then it's gotta take criticism as well. |
| *Sigh* This was a depressingly bad ending. |
| "I am the Bone of my Sword Steel is my Body and Fire is my Blood I have created over a Thousand Blades Unaware of Loss, Nor aware of Gain. Withstood Pain to create Weapons, Waiting for one’s Arrival I have no Regrets. This is the only Path My whole life was Unlimited Blade Works" |
| That banane peel thing was capital B bullshit, way to undo all the devlopment that happened in the final episodes. That serie wasn't that epic to begin with but it would been so much better without that gimmick, at least Yuna would had grown as a person and the harem would had been solved. |
| I'll be honest, ending sucks...might probably not watch this series again...but it's an ok watch...ill give it a 6/10 as totally at least... |
Got something to live for, I know that I won't surrender, A warrior of youth, I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order I Am Bulletproof. . .  |
| So it was an inside job. Wow whoever knew bananas were a key part of the show... That ending. Overall another forgettable show, Yuna kinda irked me as the show got on. 6/10 teetering on 5. |
 |
| It was an ok ending, even if the Yuna forgot everything Mamoru knows that she loves him, I wished if they had more episodes or used the other characters more often, I'll give it an 8 because the show was hilarious for me. |
