This truly felt like the end of Nishikata and Takagi's journey and childhood. We watched them grow up and mature over the years.

I was taken a back by Takagi's tears as throughout the show I always found Takagi to be the more mature stoic and cunning protagonist, not to say that she did not have emotional scenes but this one felt different and was very well done. I have a feeling that the confession that many fans had been wanting may not satisfy everyone as some may have wanted a straight forward confession including myself but I think that what happened got the message through with "I will make you happy Takagi-san", "Definingly. Always." and "I'll make you happy too Nishikata!" Although this may be the end of the series which was a surreal realization, my biggest takeaway from the film was to enjoy things while they are here. Instead of being sad that a beautiful thing is over be appreciative of the happy and great moments. Such a simple concept as teasing and games were perfected over the course of these 5 years and I would not have it other way!
