| I was hoping for a nice boat but the theory that they really did die in that lake is pretty interesting. |
| To me I can't say this was a bad anime. The art is colorful, the music is very beautiful and the story is pretty interesting for the most part. Though this anime was pretty disturbing in many ways. 7/10 |
 Zandatsu (斬奪 - "cut and take") |
| 9/10 for sora's arc! The rest was shit T_T |
| Tempted to give this series a 6, but I'll rest with a 7/10. This series was real DEEP. lulzroflomgxD |
| Enjoyed the series with all its randomness, always admired Sora's clothes. Glad to finally finnish this anime ill give it a 9/10 |
 |
| HOW DARE HARU SLAP SORA!! Anyways, I honestly never expected this anime to be this deep... This arc is the only arc that's different from the VN.. and I think this one is a lot better.. It is sorta an ending that leaves us thinking.. Like Code Geass and Inception ending, you decide whichever.. And now I gonna cry for having no more Sora.. |
| And in the end only decent human being in the whole show who didn't succumb into LOLHENTAI WRITING was the Class Rep Shit on a stick this show was 4/10 |
| By the way, why oh why they didn't have balls to deliver BAD END? This would've been better if that had happened. And how the fuck were they saved from drowning as neither of them could swim? I was expecting Nao or someone saved them but it was never explained, LOL Miracles miracles everywhere for sake of twincest happy end. Terrible writing, horrible pacing, shitty characters and in the end not even twincest could save this crap. Even Sora sexorz came off as offputting and terrible instead of harmless fetish fuel. Mainly because Sora is very, VERY broken individual and the ending was pretty much WORST POSSIBLE RESOLUTION for her development. Enjoy your emotionally shattered sexdoll imouto, folks |
| like many of u said be4 , 12th ep was really decent and was really well made , it went fluently ..... dramatic moments weren't long and ending was also good coz i believe many of us here wanted to see this ending ....only remark i have is that they left the town , but i know that's how is supposed to be ....... also i forgot that on start of the series Haru was cool char but as the story developed and when i saw how he changed ( to worse ) , he dropped in my eyes ........ when i put all pieces together i can say that anime's art was excellent , story progressed as expected , ending is also as expected , so on the end 8/10 i can't give it more coz frankly it doesn't deserve it ( even tho Yosuga no Sora as anime somehow got attached to me so imo i luv it but the grade is objectively made with adding 1 point from my peronal feelings about series ) |

| i was excepting sex everywhere seen how this series went haha but geez there was WAY too many things happening... like couldnt they cut some bits and kept it nice and flowing >.> im happy they are together but going to two different house that they seem happy about or did i missed something there lol and WHAT?!?! HE SLAPPED HER!!! THAT BASTARD!!! RAWR!!!!! |
No matter how many breaths that you took, you still couldn't breath. |
TechnicalMonkey said: I did read it and the first argument i can bring up to you theory is.To Aversa: If you read my earlier post you might find my post interesting. I personally liked this arc as it was that can get a more general audience to discuss what happened, and why. That if a human drown even tho there body will sink to the bottom first it will eventually go up again and float on the surface. Because of gasses in the body created during the decomposer process. During the time the body floats on the surface it will eventually end up on shore because of the wind or the current in the lake since it's a small lake. And the body's will eventually be found. Also if the 2 siblings would have died there then someone would have noticed they went missing which would lead in a large search operation in which they would also eventually find the body's. And i think there class mates would have behaved differently if they would have disappeared or would have found them death. I also doubt Kuzeha was lying, i could not read the text on her phone since i can't read Japanese and i am currently to busy with my math to pick up a course Japanese. But i am sure someone who could read the message the phone could tell is whether she was lying or not. Besides if they disappeared or where found death then everyone in class would have known about it news like that spreads quick and it's a small community. |

Well i know the VN has a good end reading the summaries, however the only thing that really don't make sense here in the intact rabbit in the train (Akira found is destroyed in their house). Surely writers purposely omitted some keys from the game to leave things more ambiguous in the anime. A good serie overall. 9/10 |

Surely writers purposely omitted some keys from the game to leave things more ambiguous in the anime. The whole "death theory" is complete bullshit. Is it REALLY so difficult to accept the fact that IT'S A DIFFERENT RABBIT in the train ? Maybe Haru bought it for Sora as a present to replace the one she tore apart. I mean SERIOUSLY, what's more likely, a new rabbit or some conspiracy between Akira and Kazuha to hide the twins' death ? Why would they do that ? For what purpose ? As for how Kazuha got a message from Haru - maybe he got her number before leaving the village. Hell, maybe he got EVERYONE's numbers. Do they have to show every little detail ? Use your brains, people. Furthermore, none of the characters in the epilogue acted as if their friends had just died. Some might seem upset, but that's surely because of the whole twincest thing that they can't accept. Also, Sora CAN swim. Just because it wasn't shown in the anime doesn't mean that she can't. Bottom line: THEY'RE ALIVE. |
| great final ep, ive gotta say they done really well with the adaption of sora's arc from the VN,the other 3 werent up to standard although nao's and akira's were okay i guess but kazuha's arc brings the series down a bit because she's ugly as fuck and i could never get a boner from that monstrosity, plus she had a awful personality and her voice actor made me cringe. gunna give this series a 9/10 for a great final arc, maybe could of got a 10/10 if the whole series was sora's arc, really enjoyed the final arc as wincest is obviously win, but on a serious note, i found it to be quite emotional and the relationship felt very real compared to the others. looks like ive written a bit more than i should of but nevermind :D |
| Great End!!! I'm satisfied ^_^ I was going to feel like shit if they died. |
 |
| In all of the years of my anime-viewing life, I have never summed up feelings even close to what Yosuga no Sora has. It's not a bad series, it's not a great series either. It's simply... unique. |
SurferDude said: I mean SERIOUSLY, what's more likely, a new rabbit or some conspiracy between Akira and Kazuha to hide the twins' death ? Why would they do that ? For what purpose ? It really boils down to that... Occam's Razor, the simplest explanation is most probably the correct one (nevermind desiring a BAD END... God knows there are enough of those in anime already). |

Krandal said: The problem with just buying a new rabbit is that it was a memento from her mother (if I remember correctly). Another rabbit that looked the same would hold no sentimental value... WRONG. A new rabbit bought by Haru would symbolize a new beginning for the twins, with Haru accepting Sora as his lover instead of seeing her as his sister, as well as putting the past behind them. |
bloodstainx said: On a side note. did any1 figure out what that flashback with Akira have to do with the story near the end when Haruka was looking for sora I think Haru was afraid of telling Akira about the whole situation. I mean when Prez found out, she practically cried her eyes out. He wasn't willing to take that risk again. But why I ask? when someone's dying, you spare the details and you get as many help as possible. Anyways, this definitely belongs in the most thought provoking endings I've ever witnessed! Okay, i'm exaggerating a bit. but it's up there. The conclusion sure had it's uncertainties high. But I got to say that my hat goes off to the animators for making such an impact for a show that was considered "softcore porn". |
     |
| Despire everything, still a rather lackluster ending. Also, what is it with twins and running away? (Hello Myself;Yourself?) All harems are the same after all. Anyhow, you all got what you wanted, the perfect incest route. One that has never been before in an anime, at least in a form like this. Congratulations, everyone. |
| And they live happily ever after..... |
 |
TechnicalMonkey said: Finally to answer about the phone numbers, it is possible that both twins had everyone's phone number. However, if I only had one person to send an email to I would send it to the person that knew the situation, knew me personally the most, and would be the most understanding. Nao fits that bill in this situation and not Kazuha. But Kazuha was the only one (besides the twins) that had a cellphone; if you remember, Nao only talks through local phone. No characters besides Sora used internet either so mails are out. |
|
| You are underestimating the characters's nature. Those girls are proven idealistic instead of cynic, particularly noticeable in how Kazuha acted in Akira's path; trying to bring to light the uncomfortable truth instead of keeping hiding it, herself be damned. It's canon in the novel (with no ambiguity) that Sora dragged them both, they had sex by the lake, they discussed what to do and then left. It's implied in the anime that Sora dragged them both, they had sex by the lake and then left. Since the anime has been a faithful adaptation (minor details/scenes missing aside), I would say any burden of proof falls on the "They died" side. |

Okay, but it still doesn't change that Kazuha and Akira with help of their father can cover-up a controversey like an incestuous lover's suicide by being the only one that can receive that message. Kazuha and Akira don't even know about the twins' incestuous relationship until the end of the episode, so there would be no controversy to cover up. |
desolato said: That's what I though too. It just escaped me. Despire everything, still a rather lackluster ending. Also, what is it with twins and running away? (Hello Myself;Yourself?) SurferDude said: That would be correct. Since Sora likes that black rabbit but Haru giving it to her would most likely symbolize the bunny as being him instead of Sora's mom. Also Haru knows where to buy it and so it suggests they went to the city where Sora's hospital was then take another train as it was shown. Personally I think this is what happened: Sayuri Hime suddenly showed up while they were drowning (the OP clearly shows that) gives a boost to Sora since her brain knows how to swim, she has enough strength due to that, she saves Haru and the sun shinning on them is a sign that it was Sayuri Hime since some have linked her to Isis from Egyptian theories. Krandal said: WRONG. A new rabbit bought by Haru would symbolize a new beginning for the twins, with Haru accepting Sora as his lover instead of seeing her as his sister, as well as putting the past behind them.The problem with just buying a new rabbit is that it was a memento from her mother (if I remember correctly). Another rabbit that looked the same would hold no sentimental value... Anyways the sun sometimes symbolizes life so it may have been another sign they were given another chance. While I do agree with the death theories and signs, this is another anime like 11 eyes where you can decide for yourself how the ending is. Right? BTW that Kazuha got the text is another proof that they were alive because no one had a cell phone other than Kazuha's father and the twins. |

| Maid route FTW! |
| A fantastic final episode. The part where they were at the shrine was probably my favorite part. I really enjoyed this anime, but they could still do it better without all those indecent scenes. |

Bottom line: THEY'RE ALIVE. Pprobably you are right about Akira and her sister, but consider that a lot of people didn't play the game so is not so clear. They ommitted so much keys. Maugomale said: Alright, this load of theories is really tiresome. Here's what happens in the visual novel, in case you guys want to compare: Discuss. So was Sora that save Haru, well she have a unbelievable strenght to be able to pull out haru from the bottom of the lake with the heavy clothes on. But well i guess this is the only explaination possible against the "death theory", this + the text message. |

| The ending wasn't bad. I'm not that satisfied that it ended that they were running away but I'm not disappointed at all.. I felt bad for the class rep.since the start, I was looking forward to her and ended up to be just like that.. :( What I find fun enjoyable here is the maid.. still made me lol'ed.. xD I can give this 7/10 for the art and music but I felt something's missing in the story so 6/10.. |
| Good ending to the series. Although, it wasn't the ending that I was expecting. I was sure that Kozue in all her self righteousness would make Haru and Sora feel so dirty and guilty over their incestuous relationship that they would commit suicide. And, as a result, from the guilt of causing their suicides by butting into their private lives, Kozue would go insane! In any event, I'm glad that it ended the way that it did. Haru and Sora are alive, and on their way to being happy together. |

Another rabbit that looked the same would hold no sentimental value... To add to that, Sora's rabbit was nearly burned in Nao's arc. Sora was distraught to the point that Nao rushed into the burning hut, risking her life to save the rabbit. I think this highlights just how important to Sora that rabbit was. I find it hard to believe she could simply replace a memento like that with another. |

EMChamp said: As much as I believe that, it still does not mean that another bunny could not replace all that with Haru. What would Sora gain from remembering all this when Nao clearly saw them with Kozue. I am sure that caused Sora more discomfort than anything. Best would be to forget about all this.-I think the significance of the rabbit is explained well here: Krandal said: To add to that, Sora's rabbit was nearly burned in Nao's arc.

Another rabbit that looked the same would hold no sentimental value... TechnicalMonkey said: It could only mean that it was felt as it was and only that Sora with Haruka took their clothes as well as belonging they needed to live on.Second, let's face the reality of the ending, they both died and NO ONE would ever know how it happened. The rabbit being torned which was a gift from their mother, was miraculously in her possesion and intact. This was evident when Akira saw the broken window and the thrashed room as it was when Haruka left to search for Sora. TechnicalMonkey said: Not really since she is the only one that had a cell phone. The "To:" was indeed strange but that was only to cover up all the facts that happened and Akira also might have saved them, she did know that someone was sneaking around her place, there is no telling she could not have checked out.Here is another nugget, Kazuha lied and forged the phone email. The mail that she read had no "To:" section or time stamp. She also said that they had taken a plane and 3 trains to get to their destination, where the Haruka said himself they have no money. Also, the device they used for showing someone lying was for the character to turn their head away from the person posing the question. After all, it was too convenient that Kazuha was the only one to receive phone email. TechnicalMonkey said: Maybe but I think it's because this is the second train they took. I am sure they took one to the town they were before then a new one towards their journey.Third, the train they are on is not like the one they were on when they traveled on in the beginning. It was nearly all wooden with curtains on all of the windows instead with incandescent lighting instead of flouresant lighting, and the scenery changed from tunnel to mid-day sun with some white clouds where the clouds were kind of dark around the town the allegedly left to find a new life. |

| I haven't played the VN so I can't be disjointed or bitch about what's been left out or what was different. I thought the ending was pretty descent compared to the other airing series I've seen so far. How for can love go? Pretty dam far for the twins. I understand that they love each other a lot but maybe the PDA they've done would be too much considering they're twins too lol. |

EMChamp said: -It is explicitly stated on the "Yosuga no Sora" wiki page under their character bios that both Haru and Sora do not know how to swim. In fact, earlier in Nao's arc, Haruka almost drowns/dies in the beach scene.. From wiki: Sora Kasugano (春日野 穹, Kasugano Sora?) Voiced by: Hiroko Taguchi (game, anime) The main heroine of the series, she is a quiet, fragile and reclusive girl, and fraternal twin sister to the main protagonist. Ill and frail since birth, Sora was denied the sort of independent life that many take for granted. Yet beneath Sora's angelic doll-like appearance lies a troublesome personality that’s prone to withdrawn laziness and demonstrates a rather severe lack of social graces. In all honesty, Sora doesn't care for anyone else, and would much rather just surf the Internet and eat instant food, for as long as Haruka is always by her side. It's implied that her strong bond with Haruka, strengthened as a result of the tragic loss of their parents, may be leading her towards fantasies of incest between twins. She hates Nao, although it is implied that they were once good friends. She is often seen carrying a rabbit doll, which she received as a present before she and Haruka left the village. Would you mind pointing out the words that say Sora cannot swim ? Also, the game says Sora CAN swim. Haru, indeed, cannot swim. |
| Good finale, I guess. Although I like Sora, she was a little bit bitchy at times. Also, I felt that most of the episode was trying to argue that incest should be acceptable in our society. Kozue's unwillingness to accept HaruxSora with all the talk about "it's just comes down to feelings" in the end really reminded me of what gay rights activists would say. Maybe incest would be the next kind of relationship to be accepted in our world? Lol. I give it a 7/10. I enjoyed the art and music (definitely the music), the characters were interesting, too. However, the excessive fanservice and rushed storyline dragged the score down. |

Lol, I'm wondering too, is this the next relationship which'll be aceppted in our world, hmm..? I gave 7/10 Rate, too. I mostly Enjoyed the music. The only thing I like in this anime, mostly is that there wasn't any chibi mods and slobbering.. :) |

| Wow not the episode that I was expecting, I was waiting for a more explicit material filled one but there was no sex! Anyway I have mixed feelings about how they ended this series. I did not expect them to just flee and leave everything behind. However I liked the role that the class president played here, I knew that she was interested in him but she really was hurt in the end. Noa took it more openly, that was unexpected. I was left with a sense of loss, I wish that there was a continuation. And how I'm really interested in playing the game, hopefully someone will translate it soon. Overall I give this series a 9/10, I really enjoyed watching this and for the courage that the creators had on putting on a sex show for us. And I imagine that it was Tokyo's ban that killed the sex scenes in this episode. |
