I think it was interesting to watch the various reactions here and elsewhere on the Internet. Personally speaking, I didn't feel "cheated" by the ending, because my emotional investment in the earlier scenes wasn't negated by the way it ended (and I can still rewatch those earlier scenes knowing what's going to happen, and not feel cheated). But, in general, I'm the sort of person for whom even a "bad ending" (not that this was, IMO) doesn't "ruin the show" (I think it's more about the journey than the destination). Of course I understand that some feel strongly the other way, while others (like yourself, perhaps) are somewhere in the middle. I don't know exactly what that preference says about us, but like I said, I do think it's interesting. |
Ha yea, i imagine if there is a continuation of this, teiichi will most likely be pissed for a moment after sudden joy of seeing yuuko, i mean you literally bawled your eyes out, locked all memories of her deep inside your heart and prepared to move on and then bam "tee hee its me, i am back" poor guy
I dug up some archives, browsed other anime forums and also re-read all the comments in animesuki just to see what others thought of the ending as well, seems like i am in the minority. I mean i still loved the ending, but it come with a mixed bag of feeling that feel.. weird
, i am not exactly hell bent on hating the ending because of how cheap/forced the happy end is, but still, all that moment all that sad parting scenes that they portray, all kinda went down the drain in the last 2-3 minutes of the last episode, and i am not really sure how to react at that point, sure i am happy but you know.. i am still emotionally wrecked after that requiem scene
