I love this song and the first time when I heard it in episode 8.
For a second I just remembered Chihiro & Renji from Ef Tale of Memories. I like the anime overall. The ending was like a roller coaster, but that's okay Since the beginning of the series I was wondering what would be the best ending taking into consideration the ending of anime like Ef Tale of Memories, AnoHana and etc |

Ha.. Got this anime on my backlog, and decided to watch it today and ended up marathoned all the 12 episode in one day.
God, talk about mood swing.... Anyway, the first half of this show is kind of weak for me, and then the second half come and i can't stop watching it. Episode 10 was painful to watch, sucks to be teiichi having to relive all of yuuko bad memories, Episode 11 was building up for a bittersweet end with Yuuko seems to be slowly disappearing. And then the last episode, the freaking last episode. I thought I was prepared, steeled my mind and accepting yuuko's fate. But oh god, when requiem start, when yuuko can't speak anymore and she wrote down all of those words.. that hits me really hard and that was the worst cry i have ever hard, i was literally bawling and snorting myself out, yes it was that bad. Then comes the epilogue, there was this sort of mixed feeling i had, happy that teiichi and yuuko get their somewhat happy end, but also i felt i had just been sucker punched.. i mean after that beautifully executed sad parting scene (one of the best ever) then in another 2 or 3 minute i get the revelation that everything is fine? Anyway 8.5/10 i have rewatched the parting scene over and over, its just that beautiful.

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.

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

Just finished it, one of the best manga adaptation i watched in last few years... I started to read Tasogare when there was maybe 2,3 chapters translated into english, about 2 years ago... Just one chapter was enough for me to be captivated by this series... And anime not disappoint me too... In the middle there was some minor changes from manga that i not liked and some i liked... But last episodes and ending show that people from Silver Link are really creative and understand Maybe feelings inside his manga... I understand why he was so happy after watched it...
What left is wait for Ova and finish story in manga And one last thing, really great opening and ending (especially opening), im sensitive about music, because of my perfect musical ears... Thats why im good in rating songs...

While watching the ending, I started persuading myself that they could make it a happy ending by maybe letting Yuuko possessing some other people (corpse). Well, that is what i could think of to comfort myself from witnessing what could be the saddest ending of a romance story. I didn't felt cheated by the ending as a happy ending is what I hoped for. A solid 8/10.

Eh, if there were a season 2 (which I don't think there needs to be anyway), I think Yuuko's disappearance issue is totally behind them. I think it would be more dull and even annoying if they try to retread on this territory because of what we've already been through. I think it would have to be focused on other issues, like other characters, other mysteries, and the development of Teiichi and Yuuko's on-going relationship. But it's precisely because it would change the focus of the show that I think they aren't planning on it. I'm looking forward to the Bonus Episode, but not sure that it needs that much more (even though it could be fun).
