Hmmm didn't get that suble item about the child on the last episode, that indeed kills the "interpretation" for Hamaji xD~ Funny thing to me is that, removed the end (after the credits), I never once though this was any magic related, since spirits changing blindness (first episode so not a spoiler) can be religious, not magic =p It's like saying Haibane Renmei is a mahou shoujo? hmmm think not. Anyway you convinced me about the magic, so yes the ending was kind of too out of there =/ ---- BTW since I did not find a image thread for H2O, here is a wall I just finished: http://www.daisuki.com.br/wallpaper/1396 Last edited by Caiobrz; 2008-04-14 at 20:53. |

Well, if you're going to say that, resurrection can also be equally "religious", not magical. In fact, given that the show was using the poem as a metaphor, perhaps it's more apt to call the ending "spiritual" than "magical". Basically, you could say that it was "god's handiwork", like so much of the rest of the plot. But however you choose to explain it, there were certainly some supernatural powers at work throughout. |

IMHO that poem was never really all that meaninful to start with, but as you said, it's a past discussion and I have no intention into getting into that. Quote:
So I would have liked the ending better if they didn't get that far into "spiritual" concepts as you well put. It sounded too much of a fairy-tale, and Spoiler for end:

I think the problem here is how the ending for this series has caused such a split opinion that it basically resulted in a discussion based on the meaning of such through using the poem. Ultimately though, the poem is the influence throughout the story that never strayed very far when I was watching, trying to figure out how events connected. But I guess it is just how much you see the poem to be as an importance. Quote:
Shame But seriously, I still do not believe how the trials that they have been through so far has been lessened by the act of having Hayami revived. I still find it hard that such an act can simply wipe away those hardships and deem them as a waste of time ot unnecessary. On the whole, what is worthwhile for me to see, is that their relationship was built on rather than having a quick fix of using "magic" to just solve everything. I wouldn't have believed that the end result was half as precious if it has all been the work of some divine intervention with no experienced involved. It is those memories which makes their lives, and I don't think Hayami and Takuma would have gotten together without them.

Very true. It's just like how I love endings many people hate, this is all just a matter of opinion after all. That, and I'm very harsh in my analyses and ratings. For me, I could see the symbolisms, but they just didn't connect with me because of their presentation.

And that's why I don't think the end FITS, not that it's not pretty, I still pick this title as one of the best latelly, as I said there is some awesome character development here so regardless if I loved or not this "spiritual" ending, I'm not letting 2 min (which I liked, just not as much the rest) spoil 12 awesome episodes Quote:

BTW everytime I listen to "Footprints in the Sand" by monet (ED episode 12), when there is that little stop in the music (which you all know what happens in the anime), a little tears dare to come =p |

The ending was fine in my opinion. I really don't understand why everyone thinks it was bad. |

I liked the ending but it was just "too perfect". No consequences at all and I didn't see a resolution to Takuma's issues with and his mother at all.
In a good story if there are these plot holes they are normally devices of the story that will have some sort of explanation later. Other than that, no complaints. |

That's an interesting question and I don't know there would be much difference. She remembers everything that Otoha does, so I would be inclined to say she is a Fairy (why would the said "Fairy council allow 2 ressurections at the same time" also points to that).
The way she brings in Hayami the same way she brought Takuma also gets me to "she is still a fairy" area... Why she is smaller? beats me ... Spoiler for lol:
