Oh, fuck yes! I got the ending I wanted! *sighs happily*
I realize that this may feel like a cop-out/ass pull to some, but I'm so happy that I got what I wanted that I simply don't care. Just like a child. It was definitely worth staying up so late to see the finale instead of going to sleep and watching it some 10 hours later. :> Spoiler for Episode 12:

i gona place this anime on the top of mine personal true love romance(without the crap harem, incest, pedophila garbage from most of the animes today)
1 - Tasogare otome X Amnesia / Spice and wolf 2 - Denpa onna to seishun otoku 3 - onegai teacher 4 - ano natsu de matteru 5..... - Aishiteruze baby, chobits, clannad after story( first clannad was good too but after story was better), itasura na kiss, nazo no kanojo x (started really great in manga but started to become a type of generic harem, the anime still good), hanbun no tsuki ga noboru sora, ookami-san to shinchinin no nakamatchi, shakugan no shana. toradora, zero no tsukaima(have a harem but at last the main protagonist aways shows really loves the main girl and the others are only for fun and ecchi scenes) and shinkyoku soukai polyphonica crinsom S(the previous polyphonica was much more focused on the adventures than love the couple look much more adventure partness than lovers almost of the time). edit: man for me the part who made mine tears come was in the end after him open the book and..., i almost fall apart in tears. i really love "trulle romance" animes, who today are too rary(most of romances today are the garbage things). |

I enjoyed the last episode and I didn't see the ending as a cop-out. Though I wouldn't mind a bittersweet end this had a good closure. I was skeptical and critical at first when the anime made several changes, skipped a lot of chapters of the manga, and deviated from it. But the final episodes was done very well especially episode 10 and 11. There may be some who don't like happy ending for these kind of series but as long as Yuuko and Teiichi are happy together is fine by my book.

indeed but, maybe if after that anime end the manga sales big grow up and when they made the dvd version and sales go very well maybe they can try a second season, because the end was much more like a "restart"( the clube re-opened and all 4 are together again)maybe they gona focus now in the "mystery part" and throw then to solven new mysterys around school or city, but ofcourse this is hard to happen but like some1 already told the japaneses are extremaly business guys if something given then a good amount of money then they try to make this continue.

Rubbish ending. The series started off fine enough and the last few episodes were very good, including how they handled her impending disappearance. Then the last few minutes happened. I guess it could've been worse. It could've been the ending of H2O. Meh, overall it was an okay show, I guess.

But a whole new Season? Even before the Festival, I believe there's quite alot of material axed out, which can fit into a new Season, if they want to milk this franchise- if it becomes a Cash Cow that is. Not a given. |

But the thing is that, based on the budget that the series got; I wouldn't say that they expected this to be a ground breaking record setting series.... Then it would come to actual BD sales and I'm pretty sure that this series has been pretty much niche in merchandise, specially compared to other series in this season (ironically, series that are grouped together with this one).

The problem with the concept of a second season is that this season was so tightly wrapped around the love story, and that story has basically been told. Every episode in this anime was really contributing to the main couple. So any second season they could do would lack that same drive/momentum and sense of tension, and would end up feeling a bit like a different show. If the sales are very good, I could see them justifying it, but I can imagine that a number of people would be disappointed because anything they do with the main couple will feel like an "also-ran", and it'll feel like "the sequel is worse than the original".
Now, there is an extra episode on the last disc, and I suppose they could make more OADs/OVAs to fill in some bits and pieces, but yeah... I can't really see the point of a second season for this, as much as I enjoyed it. Edit: After watching Episode 12 again: Spoiler for Episode 12:

Hell yes! THIS was a great ending (pandering extremely well to the romance I love so much), with a fantastic lead up to it. I honestly couldn't have asked for more. Got the lovable troll-Yuuko (PIN-PON), a boatload of adorable/touching moments between the two, another use of the greatest insert song ever, and the happy ending causing me to grin from ear to ear.
Like ellessarr, this series has instantly shot up to my favourites list. Endings are what usually make or break the show for me, and this didn't come anywhere near said breaking point. Let the good mood ensue! Though seriously, I need that insert song. Pure joy every time I hear it. EDIT: They could always time-skip a few years and do a slice-of-life type a la "Itoshi no Kana" (manga). Definitely some "elements" from that one I'd approve of! Ha ha ha

I have mixed feelings about the final episode. In some ways I loved it, in others, I facepalmed. But overall, it's a decent ending, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't satisfied. It's appropriate and makes sense, given the nature of the story and all. Curious as to how the manga will execute the story's conclusion. If anything, this series gave me sexy/cute Yuuko and Kirie, an awesome score, and my favorite OP of the entire season (I've replayed Choir Jail so many times on my mp3 player and my computer it's ridiculous -- I'm utterly obsessed with it).

I'm kinda of conflicted on how feel about the ending. I'm not really disappointed how they decided to end things since the climax was a tear jerker for me, but I love Yuuko's character enough to forgive what they did and be satisfied with it. Overall good series and completely stolen by Yuuko and Yumi Hara's performance.

They really, really did well in resolving the central issue with Yuuko leaving. Her attachment to the school was obviously now complete and she needed to move on. I also like how Teiichi stayed until the end. It's a point that does happen in real life, where someone that is slipping away doesn't want others to watch the pain, but leaving is always a mistake. So, Teiichi stayed and shared Yuuko's last moments.
I honestly was not expecting Yuuko to come back. With being a SHAFTling series, I could easily see a bittersweet ending. I got a good laugh out of it. It just does fit the series so well. Teiichi solved Yuuko's problem and allowed her soul to rest at peace. But now he gets to be haunted by Yuuko for the rest of his days. There's worse things to get cursed with. |

To be honest, I would have preferred a more bittersweet ending, with Yuuko gone forever, but at the same time, the ending was very satisfying, not to mention very emotional, and let's face it – Yuuko was the true MC of this show, so it's only fitting that she came back. And I think both Kirie and Momoe found peace in knowing that Teiichi got the happiness he deserved, even if it wasn't with them (and Kirie's jealousy showed itself again briefly in this episode, with her mentioning she started drinking milk).
I have nothing but praise for this show. Maybe it didn't stick 100% true to the manga, but I tend to treat the two as two separate stories, so I honestly don't care what went on in the manga, unless the anime made a total and utter mess of the ending, which (I think) it didn't.
