I nearly didn't watch this. I almost dropped it again at the beginning. But then I wouldn't have experienced this bittersweet story, so I'm glad I went through it after all.

I didn't really like season 1 much. It was ok, but I found it rather boring most of the time. Same with the beginning of "After Story". But then they graduated and my enjoyment began. Or rather depression?

Honestly at ep. 17 I cried so hard that it caused me physical pain!

And then I cried watching every episode until 22. Gosh, it's not the first time I cried because of a series, but my need for a handkerchief never has been as high before. I desperately needed one, because I couldn't see anymore what was going on on screen - I was that teared up! v_v
This series left me miserabel and hating the sadists who wrote it. It was SO DAMN HARSH. And I thought "5 centimeters per second" left me depressed.

Spoiler for whole series:

I really felt the pain and joy of Tomoya. This series touched me and broke my heart. Greatness!

It was SO DAMN HARSH. And I thought "5 centimeters per second" left me depressed. Spoiler for whole series: I saw the movie before this, so I knew Nagisa would die. The more it surprised me, how hard it hit me, when it happened. I was on a emotional tidal wave the whole season: During the "Sunohara needs to man it up" arc - bored Me: "...... god why did I start this series again?" During the Delinquents arc - mildly interested Me: " .... so they are nice and are no criminals .... soooo why do they fight each other? Just because they cross paths?! If they'd at least fight because they were selling speed in the same street. ............. WOA epic fight scene! :O" I really digged the fight. BAM another hit in the face D: And then it started to interest me for real. Nagisa: "I'll always be with you!" Me (dryly): "No, you won't! " (a little later, after lot of awwww-scenes) Nagisa: "I'll always be with you!" Me: "No, you won't ." Birth of Ushio Me: "Don't die .... DD: lonely tear rolls" She dies, clips of past start rolling Me: "OMG you MONSTERS cried so hard my chest hurt" And after the broken Ozaki finds back to his daughter, there are so many sweet moments, where I just started to weep AGAIN, because of the pure sweetness of it. And then Ushio falls down. Me: "YOU BITCHES!! Not the little one, too. That's too much!! NONONONONO DDD:" And then Tomoya's wish is granted. I was so touched when she opened her eyes again, that I wept all my sorrow off. Hell yeah, good end after all! \o/ I really felt the pain and joy of Tomoya. This series touched me and broke my heart. Greatness!
