@poor tsugumi - what no s* comments (thank goodness). I loved the way they animated her especially in light of how she doesn't realise her feelings
But the thing is how many of you actually emphasise with Nagi? In the old days our roles were set by what family we were born in, but recently we make our own careers/destinies. I know Nagi has the whole memory loss thing going, but with Jun emoing I think it highlights the whole thing of lack of a given path the most modern day kids are presented with. <- Sorry too much mulled wine here

HAHAHA...
Funny how Tsugumi didn't go NICE BOAT on them both XD Joke Anyway a good ending episode for the series. It is left open so I would be expecting for more in the future. It was great to see this rare side of Nagi when she has been such a strong character throughout the series so it got rather emotional when she realised that she really isn't all that strong. But it's good to see the usual Nagi which we know by the end. Poor Jin who did absolutely nothing again XD

What is your problem? Are you a blockhead? IF you are not satisfied with this ending..what are you expecting? A "nice boat" ending? Or a "hentai"fied ending? Seriously..don't just come in here and mutter nonsense..this ending is soooooo well done..it ended with a slight touch of humor and it leaves it open so a second season can be made possible.. |

this is the second time I hear the phrase "Yes we can" outside of Obama's presidential speech--oh Zange-chan... (the first time was delivered by Minami-ke's Kana for the upcoming season)... a new trend, perhaps?
oh I remember reading about those bonus episodes. Yamakan was supposedly working on some unaried episodes of Kannagi, or so I read. I didn't know it was actually that. Anyway, something to look forward to before a possible new season is announced, I guess... (a beach episode, anyone? an anime cannot "be complete" without one)... |

Simply beautiful.
Spoiler for JinxNagi:
Nothing definitive, but it was a wonderful moment. I think the ending leaves too much open for them not to be planning a second season. I'll be very surprised (and disappointed) if there isn't more to come.

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.

They obviously care about each other, but Nagi may have a purpose for existence in the end that can't include romance in the human realm. It's difficult for me, as a westerner, to consider the nature of "gods" in Japanese culture and how they can exist in human terms while having a godly nature. The only instance that comes to my mind, of an ongoing relationship of that nature, is Oh My Goddess! and the Belldandy/Keiichi relationship. Something I haven't seen brought up, or I missed if it was, is just what was Jin trying to say when Tsugumi broke in on the scene? A confession? I watched that ending again and the little tee-hee from Nagi as she looks back over her shoulder, while holding the towel around her, is priceless. What a delightful, upbeat final gesture.

And so ends one of the real surprise packets of the year. I thoroughly enjoyed that, even if it did seem to run out of momentum in the second half of the final episode.
I'm trying to think up a way to address the criticisms regarding the transition between comedy and drama which seem to me to be that, while the show did comedy well, and did drama well, it didn't do a very good job of melding the two together. But, I really can't think of a way that they could have done much better at melding them together. The transition seemed fairly obvious to me about half way through ep 11 that it was going to be fairly serious from then on. A few people complained about the comedic filler episodes maybe leaving them with too much to do at the end (I may have been among them, I can't remember in all honesty now), but I think in the end I'm happy to accept a "sacrifice" in good pacing (as small as a sacrifice as it was, since I didn't find the final few episodes rushed... quite the opposite, if anything) because the comedy in these filler episodes was so damn funny. And I did think that they served a purpose in making the characters more sympathetic. I do have a few minor criticisms about the plot though, as it left so many loose endings. It implies two possibilities: either there's going to be a second season (damn, I'm so sick of sequels, even for good series like this one) or the plot points they raised at the beginning were fairly meaningless and just there to pad the mystery at the moment. Anyway, the list of loose ends includes Nagi's loved on, everything about Zange/Hakua, the story behind Nagi's more divine secret personality, etc, etc.

I'm sorry, but I totally disagree. That was one of the best endings I've seen for this type of show. It's a romantic comedy, right? It's not Clannad. The setup episodes and emotional ending were well-paced and very authentic, and necessary for the storyline. The final scene was a subtle wink and parody, and simply delivered some fanservice reward for the fans, IMHO. Tsugumi's reaction was priceless, almost equal to her "victory dance" in the art club initiation ep. And as mentioned, the little closing line from Nagi was perfect. The beauty of it was that in those few seconds, the entire tone of the show came back to me, my reason for liking it in the beginning. The drama's over, and we're right back on track, hopefully for season two.

Sorrow-K: Actually, the anime had about one real filler episode (Episode 7, or the Closet episode), and even then it preserved the spirit of the source material (meaning it was easily as funny as the previous episodes).
I'm hoping that the DVDs continue to sell well, to give more ammunition for the Production Committee to push for a sequel. Also, Volumes 4 to 6 of the manga should have enough material for another 13-episode season.

There's enough material really (filler ep and pad out a few chapters and viola!), the problem is there's no decent stopping point like the end of Vol 3 which we just saw. The current manga arc finish will be the end of the second season, pretty much assured of that.
