Gave this a 9, as Tsugumi's scene at the end was worth a good 6 points alone. The ending is very nice but felt as if it went up Mount Everest (previous 2 eps of drama) only to slide it down in a quarter episode or so.
Also, while the opening (no intro) followed the staple of series ending, the ending itself (credits) felt cheapened, as if they actually ran out of money and had to resort to recycling of memorable scenes (even the backround was black!).
Easily one of the best shows this year though. Also hoping for a second season.
