----------------------------------------
Well, this finale had a decent amount of emotions. Kyouko should be really glad to have a friend like Takashi. They reflect on their memories with Minori and the time they spend together.

For a short anime, I think it was fine. Not groundbreaking but also not bad either for its human drama elements. Still, I personally thought this anime could work better as a movie. (even if the visuals hold this anime back a bit)

It was a nice enough finale. I appreciated the premise behind the show and what the studio was trying to do with it but the execution was lacking unfortunately.

This finale really sums up this show as a whole for me: some decent ideas, but ultimately let down by poor execution seemingly combined with a lack of budget.

5/10

This is the worst anime out of all 1700+ l have completed. 1/10. If you like this even a little then you are wrong.

drop with a lowercase d, I sincerely hope that you get more budget or a better staff to make a greater anime than this.
It was so mediocre in all aspects, that it kinda makes sense that it got a score nearly smack dab in the middle between the masterpieces and the bottom of the barrel.
The story, I know you couldn't help, but on the animation quality and on the deliverance of emotions/nature shots, it was pretty subpar.
And while the songs were good, I quickly grew tired of how much you abused one or two of them.
I already dislike when the final episodes of anime end with credits set to no music or visuals like with Sakurada Reset, but when this happens every episode in a 10 minute short, it's gets very alarming.
Maybe they'll find something unique to them that makes their animation studio special, because right now, like the anime, it's just an inferior version of a ton of other anime/studios.

what the fuck? so you are saying that if someone likes something that is "bad" then they are wrong?

Shit, I really dislike animes with bullying themes but I unexpected the last episode. Good anime for me, Minori always in their hearts.

All those bullies will forever regret what they did.

A decent show.

I can see what they were trying to go with the show, but I felt it could've been executed better. Despite the context and all, the drama felt pretty weak...

I also feel Minori MAY have been reincarnated as their daughter like it was shown in the ep before, but guess we never really got confirmation for that. Thought we'd at least have some kinda epilogue at the end of the ep, showing them 3 in the future and finishing off that scene we saw in the last ep.

Anyway... sadly, it didn't really elicit much emotion from me, even when I found out Minori died despite liking her.

Oh well. I think I'm gonna have to give it a 5/10

I really liked the idea of the series but it's way too short that it flaws the execution alot of the time. For example sad scene plays ed themes plays for 20 seconds and then it changes scenes. Hopefully they do better in the future though.

Decent finale, but a pretty subpar show in the end. Guess it was OK for what it was.

I ended up liking this, though the low budget was painful at times, the story itself was interesting. It looks like this is Studio drop's first effort. Even the cast was mainly rookies.

that last moment was supposed to be a really emotional crying moment but because they overused the HELL out of the insert song in all previous episodes, i felt NOTHING. The sad emotional song should be associated with something sad and emotional but when you insert it without a context just for a sake of it, it just becomes abused. Thats all i wanted to say....

The feels of this show were great to experience, though the execution of everything would have probably done better with a bigger budget and perhaps some improved animation.
Nevertheless it was great in telling an impossible yet heartwarming story, however unlikely it was logically.

at beginning i was indifferent to this show, something i wasn't sure w/e to follow, and just randomly did, it gotten better overtime and those final episodes were great, especially last 2. I can't tell w/e ending with Monori or Takashi and Kyouko is better.
By the end I really liked song theme, and idea.

This show was so crap that I have to give it a 2 for the sole reason that its sheer crapness made me laugh, I just wonder how drunk the writer was.

Actually I lied, gave it a 1.

Its tied for worst show for this season with that utterly dreadful Nora to Oujo to Noraneko Heart crap, shorts should not be this painful to watch.

Direction is actually lacking hard in this series. Art direction and quality too. Voice actors tried to do good job, but animators couldn't show the emotions in correct way (I'm talking about face mimics). Generally not as bad as almost everyone says.
6/10
I liked the OP song too.

Hmm. Nothing wrong with rating Eromanga-sensei that high. This series had great direction, art, animation and voice acting. Sometimes it's more important than plot itself. Especially if it's done right.
But his favlist is filled with elitist series. Kinda strange.

That was done right? I mean I understand if it were rated around 6 or something... but 8? just because it has "great direction, art, animation and voice acting" over the plot? okay...

Now, I know this anime isn't that great either, in fact we rated it with the same score. Yet I wouldn't rate EMS on a higher score than this

When you rate things, you have to look at all aspects on an objective level. Art direction, animation, characters, story, plot (if it has one), etc. You also need to ask yourself what the show is trying to accomplish and whether the show accomplishes it. These things can help you become a better consumer of entertainment. A necessary skill to have if you want to grow in your understanding of your chosen hobby.

no shit sherlock, even if art/animation and sound were high it still wouldn't be enough to get an 8, not on a show like EMS. As I said, maybe a 6

I thought that you by having 1600+ anime would have an interesting taste, but that 8 on EMS and what you have said just nullifies that lmao.

The ending wasn't made as bad as I expected.

3/5


The usual "ijime" story. The format could have been appropriate for this simple story.Yet, it kept repeating itself, taking its time everywhere.
It crashed under the weight of the poor animation and the flatness of the whole (maybe a better direction would have "spiced" things up).

Score: 4/10

I completed it even though I wanted to drop it since the first episode.
It was so cliche, I usually like tragedies and bullying themes but this one was so horrible. There was nothing good about this anime and I just wasted my time. Shitty plot (too many plot holes, like who sent those texts? That's still a mystery) shitty animation and shitty music

I know this is the first anime produced by this studio, but a shit anime remains shit. That's all I have to say

the ending is confusingly sad.
since the review are very bad, i didn't get too much hope for this anime.in the end, i think it was an ok show that give you feel rather than the story. the story is like a short manga where you shouldn't care much about the plot. this anime truly did not deserve the hate that it get. i think the hate probably because of the synopsis which not only confusing but also pointed at the episode half of the series.

Sad

In the end, they only go to aquarium together and then minori never go to school again.

Minori is dreaming and wish listing their plan in her phone till she dead.

After minori dead, takashi and kyoko get the phone from her aunt. Start to fulfill minori's dream and wishlist in her phone. Minori didn't delete the message. But takashi and kyoko delete it after they fulfilled each minori's dream.

Thats why only 1 message leave because they cant finish the last message. (They go to festival, they play catch goldfish, buy puff fish doll, drink fruit milk, go to light house, and the last one "lets play again next time")

Takashi and kyoko just frustrated they never met minori again since aquarium tour and then they heard minori dead. Thats why they hallucinating get the message from minori and playing with minori again. (In reality they even called home for sleeping at beach till morning)

In the end, the bully regret for bullying, nanami regret for being coward, kyoko regret for being hypocrite, takashi regret for insensitive.
