| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Eh, I think they spent too much time on Tomari for this to be a Yasuna ending. Actually, they kind of left the ending open, so who knows. With Hazumu saying something to Tomari from across the river, they seem to be implying that the three girls will be together. |
 |
| It would be nice to have a second series. like most anime to get into it and then it over. the ending was a bit open and there is definantly things that could be improved in later episodes. For yasuna to kind of give up so quickly means the whole plot was finished in the final episode and the OVA. it way to fast maybe another episode or OVA could have balanced it out abit. And for hazumu then to go straight for tomari even after chosing yasuna over her. i admit i shed a tear but i was guite dissapointed..but i really enjoyed it.:) |
     |
| That ending an imply on quite a bit. Still need to watch the ova though, I'll just have to see what happens there.. Uhh.. Isn't the episode 13 the OVA? |
| Osu! <img src="http://osu.ppy.sh/stat2/Thunderwolf1989-2.png" border="0" />  |
| Good thing there was on OVA. |
| i was thinking this was a good ending up intill the last like 5 sec then i got completly lost again guess i need to watch the ova |

| To be honest I found Tomari's love much more genuine and consistent over time, she acts strong and tried hard to let go of Hazuma even though it hurts her to the point of collapse. It was heartbreaking when she turned back across the river to propose to Hazumu and only to discover that Hazumu had finally summoned the courage to walked out on her. In contrast Yasuna is quite a crybaby herself, and looks fragile and her love seems honestly a bit selfish if you ask me. On the overall I quite appreciated this series although I don't see the point of having included these aliens in an otherwise perfect slice-of-life. These aliens and Hazumu's sex change have absolutely no relevance to the overall main plot, they look more like fillers. As for that alien guy, he talks so eloquently about love sharing and its healing power etc but he himself ignores that teacher's love for him!?! Did he really learn anything? I suppose its another loose end... |

With Hazumu saying something to Tomari from across the river, they seem to be implying that the three girls will be together. This. It was a horrible "REGULAR" final episode. You spend the whole god damn day shooting the girl down and spend two minutes with the girl you actually chose. I mean seriously i felt horrible for Tomari. Hazumu's bawling to Tomari and not walking towards her choice was god damn painful to watch. You just stuck a dagger in the girls heart, are you going to stick around and watch the girl bleed to death? I mean i could understand the cultural significance of a rejection. In Japan it is a more common practice to cease communication with someone once an confession or a relationship fails. I guess the whole extra care handling Hazumu's choice in regards to Tomari was the fact that they didn't want it to end their friendship. Still it could have been handled a lot better. Sooo, after all the mess at the garden and river with Tomari, Hazumu finally gets to Yasuna. And the confession of love by Hazumu cures Yasuna's terrible condition. You know I'd have been OK with the choice and everything. except in the OVA Episode 13..... The writers were as god damn indecisive as Hazumu. What a train wreck ending to what was otherwise a decent love triangle story. meneope said: To be honest I found Tomari's love much more genuine and consistent over time, she acts strong and tried hard to let go of Hazuma even though it hurts her to the point of collapse.

Cirris said: I'm watching this series again, and at this point I can't help wondering what is the significance of monogamy in this kind of relationships anyway. They all love each others and get along quite well with each others, so what's the big deal with the whole "having to choose" thing ? I wonder if lesbians place so much emphasis on monogamy...ShanaFlame said: Eh, I think they spent too much time on Tomari for this to be a Yasuna ending.

| In anime, Hatsumu x Tomari is more touching than Hatsumu x Yasuna, The manga has more development on each pairing, though. ...and a foreshadowing? darn, must watch ova right now. |
| I was rooting for Osaragi x Tomari. This Anime was total trash. Awful ending. Osaragi sucks. 2/10 score. |

| Pretty lovely way to finish of the story I must say and well the overall anime sure was lovely as well! With an interesting concept and well developed progression of the characters and story! So I really wonder what the ova has to offer but all by all this does finishes the story off quite well! |
 |
| I'm not happy at all. |

| Woah woah woah, I had a full "final thoughts" ready to go and they pull the rug out from my feet at the last minute? I have to admit, with how things were going I thought the OVA would be some side story so this has made me both nervous and excited. As for this episode, I really liked Tomari and Hazumu's playtime. It also made me realize how much Hazumu has changed since becoming a girl. It's hard to say for sure considering Hazumu's screentime as a guy was brief, but it just feels like she became more comfortable with expressing her emotions. It's not like there was a message or theme to it. Just that Hazumu became more colorful in showing her personality. Well, Tomari's speech at the river was touching and all that, but it didn't really make sense to say she'd brag to Hazumu's children and grandchildren. I mean, if Hazumu is serious about Yasuna... Hazumu's indeciveness was a little bit annoying and I was about to roll my eyes back when I thought she was going to choose Tomari, but it really does show the pains of love and rejection. In all honesty, I wouldn't want to have to choose someone if it meant destroying a dear friendship either. Eh, things with Yasuna were resolved way too quickly. There wasn't much impact with the confession and the whole space alien thing was like "meh" (even though he made some nice points on how love drives humans). I was going to say that the ending was too compact, but we'll see what the OVA decides to do. ?/10 |
 |
| It must be a surprise that i write it right now. 12 years after this anime was first release. Actually why i start to run this anime is because hazumu's gender bender (yes, i have a little bit weird fetish on mtf transform). Actually i'm ready to dropped it after 3 ep, but ended up continue it till the end after the scene where yasuna show her disability in looking at men The story is actually okay ep by ep, but just like another earlier reply up there, the ep 12 is runs very weird. I mean if it want to ended up in yasuna's route, so it didn't need to added some hazumu-tomari scene again. But, the ending word from alien guy is good, it just like saved the weird ending. I'm not a yuri fan, however, so i will not give it a score above 7. 6/10 is enough. |

| This is sad episode.. Is, was, is.. It is sad.. I only don't agree with alien's monologue in the end.. But kinda whatever.. Still a great episode.. Overall, it was a great anime.. I liked whole lots of things in it.. Interesting gender change, and how it changes life.. I was interested in characters so much.. What they think, what they feel.. Just great characters.. And also I had so many feels as well.. Overall, this anime is just too good.. It's so good, it really probably is among my favorites.. Thank you, Kashimashi, for the time.. I'm very feely I watched you.. ;P 10/10 for certain.. Also OVA ahead.. But yeah.. Life is much better with anime like this.. |
| Bye bye, Puu... :( I'm sad she had to go. That playtime between Tomari and Hazumu was really fun. Ok. Let's see the OVA because the story can't end like this. |
 |
| I am ok that Hazumu chose Yasuna (though Tomari was the best choice). A lot of time was spent on Tomari. And what is up with that ending? How can you end it like this when Yasuna was chosen. Anyways, the plot progress was sloooooow. Art was meh too. No OSTs to brag of. They could end this series with 6 episodes. A fine 3/6 or 5/9. |
 |
| I was sad that Hazumu abandoned the idea of a romantic relationship with Tomari, but I'm glad that they all managed to stay friends in the end. Overall, this was pretty good, and clearly, Hazumu was always a woman, even before the transformation. I'll watch the OVA now. :) |
 |
| I remember liking it a lot more 15 or so years ago. Now rewatching it, still enjoyed the first couple episodes a lot. Then the show kinda fell flat on its face in the middle, but picks up kinda in the end. Giving it 6/10 only because I love Tamura Yukari's and Yui Horie's voices. Otherwise it would have been like a 5/10. As for the title, "Kashimashi", is it because they live in the Kashima city? 市 (shi) = city. Kashima shi. So lame but whatever... And why did they decide to write it in all hiragana? Were they trying to create a double meaning? First being the city where they live, and second being a combination of Kashi (sweets) and Mashi (better/preferable), kashimashi = better if it's sweet? Better if love is sweet? Maybe trying to overanalyze a stupid anime title. |
