finally finished the series, what a grand finale, this got to be one of the most warm and fulfilling anime I have watched. I'm definitely getting the DVD when it's released.
Spoiler for Episode 12, Diamond Dust Drops:
Indeed all the girls gathered to Sapporo for one reason or another, and all of them got to watch the Diamond Dust. Oh and this episode is unexpectedly quite hilarious, with the squid boy accidentally proposing to the radio boy, ROTFL
they finally show radio boy's face... oh and it seems the squid boy (main character of the game?) got himself hooked up with the transexual (the secret bonus character of the game, hehe). Also Yuu returned to Kyouko, so everyone got their own happy ending (except maybe the squid boy, LOLOLOLOLOL
) Although I generally don't like happy endings too much, I have to say I love this happy ending a lot, it's very natural and never feel forced a bit, and the show is just sooooo warm and emotional.
Hmm... some closing words... for the girls, Atsuko and Akari are definitely my favorites, I guess I just love the cute and clumsy type... the stories are all very good in their own unique way, really really great and warm romance/relationship show, definitely one of my all-time favorite
