*sighs blissfully*
What a heart-wrenching episode; yet at the same time, what a beautiful ending.
The start really tore my heart - the melancholic rendition of the main theme music really set the tone.
But wow, what a journey it's been. Lamune is really done superbly. Its relaxed, slow and careful pace really brings you into the lives and journeys of everyone, into the hearts and unspoken emotions behind the characters' faces (especially our lead actor and actress), and everything culminates together as we head towards the end, and the catharsis that comes in the final episode does not fall short. Most of all, I love the unbreakable bond between Ken and Nanami - that's what really ties the entire series together, that made it so effective and work so well.
