Looks like I'll watch the 23rd and 24th episode on the same day, due to my dad taking the access to my computer away from me, hehe.
Cannot wait!

Spoiler for Episode 24 (End):

This is a great final episode. It uses the same comedy/drama blend from the previous episodes, and it was delivered wonderfully. While some characters decides to go for their own path like Jin, the others can stay at Sakurasou once more, and the two new characters are also introduced. I thought Sorata would kiss Mashiro, but when the cat named Hikari comes to stop it from happening, I burst out laughing but I'm finally glad that Mashiro is kissing Sorata even if they didn't do mouth-to-mouth, though there's like two kisses from different couples in one episodes (one is Jin/Misaki, the other Ryunosuke/Rita). Jin and Misaki are finally living happily ever after, Rita is returning to her country, while the rest are spending their fun at Sakurasou, and them parodying horror movies was hilarious as well. Even Yuuko, Sorata's little sister from some episodes is finally joining. The ending is filled with a compilation from key moments of the series, and while it wasn't the greatest love story ever told, it managed to surprise me in every episodes. Don't know if I could write a review on it, but it was a blossoming ride !

All I'll say for now is this:

No SorataxMashiro kiss????!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!

Man, when the novels end, they'd better do better than that.

[CommanderChaos]

I am sad now...

[thundrakkon]

Wow, what a great end to a great series. This series was really heartwarming and a great slice of life style series. It had a good storyline with great characters that grow on you. The additional residents to Sakurasou seems to be a lot of fun as well. I love how Mashiro told Yuuko that there was not any room for her in the Sakurasou painting. I guess she will not be moving in.

Now, I'm a little sad that we might not get a second season because of all the racists making negative comments on Sakurasou's merchandise. It really is a pity, since this was such a great show. It's unfortunate that this is the world we live in.

Either way, I'm glad to have watched this series, and I'm putting this anime in my good enough to recommend and rewatch list.

*tsk* So close on that mouth to mouth kiss between Sorata and Mashiro, if wasn't for Hikari's jealousy it would have happened.

Wait. What? What is this racist negative comments you speak of? Care to elaborate? I really enjoyed this series and would love a second season.

Spoiler for The form:

Jin should have known better than to trust her with something like that

Well, my enthusiasm for Sakurasou has been up and down substantially over the run of the series, but I can say that after I got past the first two episodes, I never once regretted picking it up. The show was always at its best when it was exploring how the world can really chew people up, whether they're painfully ordinary, or gifted to the point of isolation.

The ending feels natural, and like a good stopping place. I'm not clamoring for more, but it would be easy to continue from here if they wanted to.

Tragically, we now have one more would-be resident than there are rooms. It looks like there's no choice but to implement

It's been commented quite a few times throughout the threads. There was a korean type of dish that done in one of the early episodes. That created quite an uproar with the Japanese otakus. They started saying that the series was "selling out" to the Koreans and started posting negative comments on websites like Amazon Japan. The initial sales were good, but subsequent sales were down after this whole hoopla.

Thats just stupid.... I would consider this one of the better series to come out in years, its such a shame people isn't supporting it for such a stupid reason.

[HandofFate]

Good final episode, I liked it.

I know some really hate it, but I enjoy it when an anime like this type ends with things going full circle.

New residents moving in, and everyone's role getting upgraded, ect. When its done right, I'm a sucker for it. Even though it can rather easy and safe to write in.

Liked the new residents, very green. Especially the guy lol. Yuuko popping in was funny too, man is she short for her age.

Hikaru the cat kissblocks Shiina and Kanda.

Poor Aoyoma, well Jin did say she doesn't have to give up.

Misaka turning in the marriage registration early was great.

[Humble Loser]

There were some ups and downs but good slice-of-life shows are inspiring and are remembered as easy-going-fun. Despite Jin going his separate way, Rita going back to her country and so forth, the bonds of Sakurasou seem strong enough to handle anything. New characters are introduced, Chihiro-sensei runs into Kazuki as they share a drink, Sorata's cat blocks but also saves Sorata in the same action - you can go on and on.

This was a good ending. It feels conclusive but all the strings are not completely tied, giving you a somewhat open ended feeling as well. Things could continue but if they do not, the ending is sincerely satisfying.

I wish Aoyama the best, keep fighting. Dragon is due to coming out of his room/comfort zone more seems more social than ever and Mashiro is still Mashiro.

Good times.

[Entravity]

Solid final episode that wraps up everything nicely. I had a lot of fun watching the anime even though the drama is a bit unnecessary at times. I like the liveliness of the group and they're entertaining as well as interesting to watch.

Good times and hope to see more from this in the future.

[GDB]

Really enjoyed the finale. Good closure while staying open enough for another season.

[SnapDragin]

I really liked the ending, but it did seem like they took the easy way out. Plus, from what I've heard about the Light Novel, haven't they changed quite a few things that would probably limit the ability for a second season to ever be produced anyway?

It seems to me that this means the series is finished for good. Which is cool I guess, the ending gave a satisfactory "complete" feeling. But come on, a cat kiss block? That was ridiculous. If this really is last we'll ever see of Sakurasou couldn't they have let the two of them have one single damn kiss?! Gah. Regardless I liked the series as a whole and I'll miss it.

[FlareKnight]

Great move by Rita. Best way to get into that relationship with Dragon is to also seduce Meido-chan !

All in all a pretty good conclusion. It wasn't anything outstanding and seemed to take the safe route. Relationship wise kind of go with a Mashiro ending while still leaving it open for Nanami fans to speculate a better end for her?

Hopefully this kind of ending does leave it possibly open to continue with the remaining novels down the road. Would be great to come back with this series.

Overall though this series blew my expectations out of the water. It was a lot more engaging and just plain better than I ever expected. Went far beyond just being some generic love comedy.

Kinda of ironic actually... considering one of the main theme of this story
