Spoilers, lots of them ahead.

The right thing can be said to be the best thing but in this case, it obviously was the wrong thing to do. By any means, the fans that has made their way to this special is more than prepared to accept the incest route. After all, the title gives it away immediately. Why did Kyousuke and Kirino have to part? Was it for the morality of incest being wrong? Like I said before, a majority of us by this time actually supports it especially in a fictional sense. So what did the author do. Get them together and then painfully ... tear them apart.

Like many others, I was also prepared to rate this highly and always remember this series somewhere in my heart, yet by the end, I felt betrayed by the outcome of this series.
The story handled all the other love potential greatly, Kyousuke met up with them one by one and told them how he felt. The story though totally took a nosedive when they ended things in the church. It felt like all the things that happened in this series was thrown and burned as it had basically no consequences. Kyousuke was able to decline all the others confession showed great determination that could well be used to stay strong against society. But he let that to be used on a promise that constraints his heart forever.

I honestly can't imagine Kirino or Kyousuke being truly happy if they aren't together as lovers. Heck, Kyousuke even had to sneak a kiss after they decided to end things. I wanted Kyousuke to tell her that he changed his mind. Like how they would walk their separate paths after leaving the church. I wanted Kyousuke to think of all the times he had spent with Kirino and give in to his desire of wanting to be with her despite being her brother. To run, to crash to others while yelling out Kirino's name. As she turns around, hugging her while shouldering the emotional conflict against society. To kiss her and to end it there. They don't have to tell us what happens next on how the others would see them. I just truly wanted them to be together by the end.

This series was quite the emotional ride to be honest. I really felt the conflict between the chosen girl and the others like Manami. Seeing some of them cry was rather emotional and seeing Kyousuke's unwavering will that would easily scream out his love for his little sister was just as good. It even brought forth of how others would see the relationship as "disgusting" and other negative ways. Still, Kyousuke was prepared to lose everything to protect that one thing yet he gives it up at the end. Both ways would have ended up hurting Kirino even if they chose to be together. Kyousuke and Kirino deciding to part ways and it actually happening was beyond heartbreaking and tear wrenching.

Can I say that I really love this series yet hate it immensely at the same time? Though the feelings it brought will never be forgotten.

"I will not change the future, the past, as they are things that I felt that I had to do, maybe this is the so called inevitable fate."

Similar people has similar ways to interact, and through this story is about knowing someone through an imaginative cellphone. A rather simple story, about a lonely girl who is somewhat envious of people, and a kindhearted boy.

The characters were rather realistic on how they would approach a conversation through an cellphone of nonexistent, to doubt oneself's sanity when they could talk through this phone.The girl was a timid girl, but a girl that was looking to change. ... As they helped each other in the simplest ways, both of them started to change for the better, especially at the end the girl changed a lot.

This was quite enjoyable, though a bit cliche especially at the end, everything went as expected, but for some reason it was still very enjoyable. An ending that was somewhat cheesy, somewhat touching,,,. To anyone that likes drama, maybe this isn't necessary everyone's cup of tea, but for me... it was spot on.

Even if I went through great sadness, as long as their is trust there is happiness.

The manga shows a cruel yet somewhat hopeful world. In a world featuring a dog named Pao going through many things to live in a society which no one could be proud of. Where natural selection occurs in which only the ones with power can do what they want. In a world where trust, and companionship is really important, in the eyes of Pao, we learn about some touching lessons and some dreadful ones.

The art and characters were great. The art fitted this manga and was a pleasure to ... look at. The characters, though not much development for some of them, but what they did had a huge impact. The antagonist were asses which proved their role useful and really pushed the drama, while the protagonist are heartwarming and very likable.

The enjoyment here was beyond what I expected. I really enjoy this manga as it would not hold anything back, pushing the tragedy to a point where it is heartbreaking.

Overall, this manga was very dramatic but not once did the flow seem awkward. A realistic manga is an enjoyable one as people could connect to some of the issues in this world.

If I could choose, I would choose to trust someone instead of not trusting someone, as I could be at ease and simply be happy.

Sword Art Online had the chance to best one of the best animes yet it decided it make it the most disappointing anime for a long time.
Have you guys seen the movie Click? Featuring Adam Sandlers and how he had a remote that could fast forward time, but now to make it comparable to SAO, SAO fast forward or literally skips any character development. One minute before they could be eating, and now they could be almost at bed, just how fast could this go?. The Story has a huge potential similar to a MMORPG game it has many levels distinctly different from other ... levels in SAO in both the environment and the monsters. SAO has the possibility to explore all 100 levels in the anime and make many mini arcs in some level while skipping a few. The first episode’s pace was good but then at the second episode, we were already brought over to around 30 floors ahead. SAO could have many more dramatic scenes and possibly adding fillers or characters that actually meet back with Kirito during his mini arcs. Maybe there could be arcs where he can’t solo, and actually requires teamwork especially during the final boss fight would had been good. Maybe I have seen too many shounen and think that boss fight should be longer, at not only 5 minutes long. There are no shortcuts in life and SAO attempted to take many shortcuts leading to random arcs mostly not affecting the story at all. Were there actually any story at all? Except to protect Asuna and leave SAO. The pace in the second arc was actually ok, since the second world wasn’t as interesting and character developments should have already been made, though it did actually give a different feel.
One of the best part about SAO is its art. The art was quite good, with colourful graphics which I do like especially in a fantasy setting. The fighting graphics were quite good it was interesting with all those moves and the flow was good. The environment was interesting such as flowery old themed area to icy mountainous regions.
The characters of SAO were pretty common to be seen, we have Kirito who is gifted and is just a overpowered person, which is fair I guess, and Asuna a powerful female lead where she fights beside Kirito and sometimes requires help which is to be expected. The thing SAO lacks primarily is character development. They basically are saying they met, they fought, they loved each other, they married. Very straight to the point, and if it was for side characters I wouldn’t mind so much but for the main characters, seriously it doesn’t work. I have been thinking wouldn’t SAO being 52 episodes be better, 39 going towards the SAO world while the 13 could be going towards the second world, 39 episode would give them more time for character developments and adding a few arcs without it seeming that it is before forced to prolong. I would had actually preferred Asuna being an even stronger and could fight on par with Kirito.
Enjoyment:
Good thing I didn’t expect anything when I went to watch SAO, because I didn’t want to be disappointed. I can easily enjoy things and I did enjoy SAO, but it just pains me on how it is like a rough gem that is only polished to be as radiant as a rainy day , while it could have been as bright as the sun.

Taking care of children is no easy task, especially when the person is a single parent.
Having to work and taking care of the children isn't something just anyone can handle. Children grows up fast, but most oftentimes an emotion part of anyone, going through constant changes both physically and mentally.

A magnificent story begins to unfold starting as a boy meet girl situation, romance developing and having a family with children. The main focus of the anime is to choose between being a wolf or a human. I mean as long as they are happy it is good enough, and the movie does a good ... job showing how they didn't accept their blood of being a wolf or a human, and slowly shows us how they mature and come to terms with it. There is nothing worst than running away because of being afraid, though it takes a lot of courage to tell someone a secret, but once told, there is a part with that accepted it.

Simply a splendid slice of life with heart warming and meaningful moments through the movie.

There is a reason why I rated this higher than the seasons shown on television. One immediate reason is that it truly sticks to the whole theme of the entire series.

Story:
The story was simple yet great. Basically it is the final trip for the club as the senior's graduation is drawing near. They go to a trip to London to just have fun. Then the story continues on how not knowing enough English isn't so easy. The best part of the story was when the Light Music Club made a performance to Azusa which gave quite the touching scene, and showing how the ... senior understand that it wouldn't be easy for Azusa their cute junior to maintain the club, and as the club is close to being disbanded, a grand finale song is presented to Azusa, a song that will stay forever in Azusa's heart.

Art:
The art is the same, there may be slight improvements. The art does change for a bit with new buildings that has a European feel to it, which was refreshing since it isn't so common to see them in the anime world.

Sound:
The music and song are great, from songs about rice, curry, London to a sad yet encouraging song to their wonderful angel. The singing was diverse from upbeat energetic songs, to a song that seems like a lullaby that everyone would enjoy.

Character:
The same wonderful, cheerful, cute, energetic girls that everyone likes. It was quite touching seeing them working hard to make the best song for Azusa. The best personality and some of the best friendship I have seen in anime. The characters are funny, and sometimes they make you smile while they were warming your heart.

Enjoyment:
I greatly enjoyed and appreciated this additional to a already wonderful series. I laughed, I smiled, I had teary eyes and I know after this I was miss the K-on series even more.

Overall:
I just have to say that you have to watch both seasons before watching this. I have a friend that found K-on boring..... and my friend only watched season 1 and went to watch the movie, but he couldn't appreciate it enough, because after I watched both seasons, I grew to love the characters, I grew to love the story, I grew to love K-on and all these love made the movie just so much more powerful.

-Side Note-
Sorry it's my first review and its been a month that I have seen this movie, anyways I hope you enjoyed this review.
