And why did that lady - Nanase - say she loved Yakumo? I thought she loved the father?


Did you actually watch the episode? Watch it again, they kind of slap you in the face with the reason, since it's the climax of the series.

Pretty meh show for me. Would have been much better as an episodic series imo, although mushishi/natsume already have that covered I guess.

Haruka should have died.

6/10

WHERE THE HELL WAS THE KISS?! Damnit... a good ending, I actually teared up a little bit, but the anime still was slow...

I did enjoy this season because of Yakumo himself. The hug between him and Haruka was cute. Good series... 7 out of 10. --- Randy

That was... a pretty nice ending. Too cheesy, though, but really nice for a romance, shoujo and mystery anime. The doctor's reason for killing Isshin is reasonable, that's why Isshin himself didn't pay any mind. And as for the end, that was to be expected. And I have to say, that Yakumo really is one hell of a cute character <3

Really nice ending to a pretty good show. I liked the show, was one of my favorites. I was hoping for a kiss between Haruka and Yakumo but I guess that was not meant to be, I guess I can settle for the hug.

It was sad and happy at the same time. Isshin's death was really sad. But that girl living, and Nao getting happy family makes up for it.

Well Yakumo's dad was human before right? So they never told us how he died. Well not that good but not that awful either.

That was a really good ending, was really sad to see Isshian die I loved him as a character (the forgiveness part was really nice in getting over his death), overall though they did a good job with it and I was glad to see everything wrap up nicely (with of course the set up for more). Nao-chan was the best character by far and it was a shame we missed out on more of her

Anyway loved the ending, and thought this was a pretty good show, I'm glad I gave it a chance.

Pretty much everyone agrees that Yakumo is a pretty average anime, but still a nice way to spend some time. Being generous, 7/10 because it was entertaining enough, although overall this should get a 5 or 6. Not exactly bad, but I always thought that something was lacking... I don't know, perhaps the series tried to do so many things? Now I'm really interested on this Ghost Hunt; maybe a comparison between both can lead to a more accurate analysis.

This ending was so sad but sweet at the same time. I was seriously about to cry during the scene on the roof were Nao was in front of the doctor that had killed Isshin. I can't believe he died! It was just too sad and omg if Miyuki is still alive she is a bad bitch I swear even though I can't stand her. I could see them doing a second season just because Yakumo's dad is still lingering around. Gotou and his wife with Nao was so cute at the end, he makes a good dad. All in all I loved this show it was one of my favorite's this season.

Really didn't like the anime at all, maybe it's cause the manga is so much better. Haruka was so annoying, I felt that I wanted to punch a baby whenever she came on (not literally, orz). 4/10

Oh where is the horror? Gosh did you just see the faces of everyone when Gotou got shot? Everyone's expression is like "-_-" like no one cares.

Sure Yakumo is hot an all but I need the horror. :( And thank goodness
Gotou and his wife decides to adopt Nao which is so nice of them but does that mean Yakumo is adopted by them too? And Nao even talked but I miss Isshin :( The last scene when Yakumo is talking to his uncle is ;_;

Seriously throughout every episode when something happens,their reaction is always like that "-_-".

I think I'll start reading the manga.

Love is filled with mystery

Well, his uncle death was an interesting twist (especially because of the circumstances), and I must say that I quite enjoyed the last few last episodes even though they were flawed, and the ost is really good.
That glasses girl however was useless till the end, and the detective dude was freakin' annoying.

Yakumo was brilliant. The contact lens. He planned it very well haha

Oh wow, i am so sad that this show is over so quickly. It really grew on me. In the beginning I wasn't so sure it was going to be good but after episode 2 I couldn't stop watching. The ending was really well done for this show and quite touching. I'm really hoping for a 2nd season now. For me this show was an 8/10. I was also annoyed that the characters only got one set of clothing..lol.

Awesome anime :)

At first I thought I was in for horror/mystery/crime-solving action, but that's just on the surface. Underneath, it's really a tribute to the development of characters - especially Yakumo's, obviously.
Haruka is not useless in this respect! She is vital in "changing him" and "giving him a new perspective" and etc., whatever female protagonists do to cold, sarcastic, antisocial emo bishies.
I'm all for Yakumo x Haruka, but it looks like that's all we get (although it's implied they are going to get together, as I don't see Yakumo flirting it up with any other college chicks anytime soon).
Gonna go read manga raws now!

i only kept watching the show coz i liked the drawing and the sound track , i think the story is not well plotted ; 13 episodes are not enough to actually present it well
the ending is good although i was expecting yakumo to reveal his feelings to haruka :(

i have to admit that yakumo , haruka ,and Nao are the cutest characters ever

overall 7/10

Quite some ending, a nice rounding end of the whole story! A bit on the sad side although quite hearth warming in its own way! The global story of this anime was rather nice and had an interesting theme in general! I really liked that bit of darker touch to it and detective/case parts where quite nice as well. I did wanted to see some slight more relation development between those two although it ended quite nicely either way! 9/10

The ending wrapped things up quite nicely imo. The story didn't really need a serious romance element to begin with, yet those few Haruka x Yakumo moments were really very sweet. The beginning was kind of rocky with the quick pacing, but stick with it and it gets better. I liked how emotional the last few minutes were, it pulled at my heart strings. Definitely glad I decided to give this series a try. 8/10

This was quite a terrible anime. Most characters were incredibly flat, the plot had potential but was either too predictable, boring or anti-climatic, and it didn't hook me to watch more.
There were a couple notable episodes and decent BGM but noting to pull the series along.
This is mindless anime... I doubt I'll watch it again.

3/10

I have to say its a great show despite all the problems it has.
Not really original story, but it is still interesting and easy to be hooked to it till the end.

Main issue of this show is bad animation. Im not talking about artistic style, but body and facial animation.
In some scenes i had a feeling that i am watching picture book while someone is narating it in background.
The scenes where they are angry, sad, where they are crying, they looked empty. Only thing you could see is tears in their eyes, but without change to eyes and face. It looked like they didnt have much time or they didnt care about it much. They had really amazing soundtrack, too bad they didnt try more with animation.
Also, clothes, they wear same thing for 13 episodes? Cmon, please. Details like this just get in my eyes.

The struggle between a 5 and 6/10...

I'll go with a 6. I think it's relatively done well especially when the main plot kicked in. Although characters are lacking, it pulls of atmosphere and other aspects well. This is actually much better than Ghost Hunt (even if I score them the same) and is very consistent overall. Too bad it's short and forgettable.

Great Series! Have been waiting a while for series like this. The ending is fitting but i'm still meh about isshin dying but that's ok.
The end was great and season 2 probably won't come out because you can end it there. There's not much else left
Anyways, I was thinking that Haruka x Yakumo was going to happen but i guess not lol :D
