Spoiler for The Ending:

Well I just finished watching Mahoromatic and although I was quite disappointed in the outcome, we all know that was going to happen. After all, after every episode it lists the time Mahoro has to live, so I expected her to die from the very beginning. About the ending, I choose to believe in my own interpretation even though I know that she does get resurrected in the manga. I choose to believe that Suguru really did die and that was a hallucination of his in his final moments. I think that this ending is still better than the official anime ending so I'll take it.

Also, the second to last episode was in my opinion, good. If anything, I wanted episode 14 to not be there and episode 13 should be the ending. They showed the credits after episode 13, so it makes me think that episode 14 was a failed afterthought in an attempt to make the story better by using more manga material to resurrect Mahoro. Too bad it didn't, so let's just leave it at that.

About the anime itself, it was great. The ending was a bit wrong, but I won't make it ruin the whole anime for me. There were very memorable moments, and especially the second season (until episode 13) was excellent plotwise. I do understand that perfect anime are too good to be true, so if you just make your own ending/ignore the ending/think of episode 13 or the special as the ending, then Mahoromatic can be at the very top of my list.
