| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It has ended... This is by far Winter 2011's best show. It's outstanding. The presentation was absolutely amazing; amazing art, great animation and an absolutely beautiful soundtrack make this anime a work of art. The newcoming seiyuu, especially Takatsuki's, were also splendid. I loved the anime's story and plot development. The characters were extremely likable too, I love them all. Well, except for Momo. And I disliked Chiba at first too, but once her character developed more, I started to really like her. Anyway, about this episode, I thought it was great. Like Nitori said, I can't really tell now if Doi's a terrible person or actually kind of nice... His red wig looked funny though. I'm glad Anna went to see Nitori. I thought they were a great couple. We got some great character development for Anna this episode. I like her even more now. And nooo, Takatsuki's long hair is gone! ;___; It looked so great on her! Long hair also looks good on Nitori. He looks like a girl even without his wig, hehe. The OP at the end of the episode fitted really well. And I'm glad Nitori accepted his voice is changing at that he's hitting puberty. I felt pretty sad when this episode ended... I really loved this show. I guess I'll start reading the manga as soon it's released in English. I'll buy it ASAP. 5/5 for this episode and 10/10 for the anime. I'm a huge fan of Takako Shimura's anime adaptions and I'm hoping we'll see a sequel for this or Aoi Hana one day. EDIT: Oh, I just noticed that the play they were going to perform "Boku wa onnanoko" is the title of one of Takako Shimura's manga. Hehe, kind of a funny reference. |

| An interesting but enjoyable show to say the least although I still can't tell one character from another. :P As for the Manga, US publisher Fantagraphics is releasing it in the UK starting in June. BTW - MAL needs to change the status from "airing" to "finished". ;) |
| Wow, now they've really blown it with the dumb original scenes. AIC, I effing hate you. |
| A bit of a meh ending tbh. |
| I really liked this ending and the show was memorable as well. Loved Nitori's development and the whole concept of the story~ I'm gonna check out the manga now. |
 |
| good ending, but they could've at least shown some part of the play. |
| loved this series <3, it's so sweet and makes people think about a lot of stuff.. i liked Nitorin's personality and way of thinking a lot.. he's a nice character that can be respected in many ways.. *.* 5/5 & 10/10 & added to favs.. lol.. :D |
 |
| This finale could deffinitly have been better. Series was nice and interesting, but not the best of the winter season for me. @Deathinteresse: There has only gone 3 months of this year, you haven`t seen any of the animes that are supposed to air in spring, summer, fall or winter :P ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh and I wonder when MAL will put this one to finished status, sometimes they`re so slow to do such :P |
 |
| YES YES YEEEEES That is all. |
| this show was alright, nothing bad bad to say about it, loved the art. |
| It ended perfectly without the need for a sequel (although I would like one), but I'm still wondering if Doi has a secret crush on Nitori. :( |

| The only character that I'll remember is probably Chii-chan. On the other hand, I was really hoping that there would be a small glimpse into the future a little where Nitori's voice fully dropped, only to have Norio Wakamoto be voicing him. |

ManInBlack said: Ah, that always happens with airing shows. Apparently I'm also watching Fractale at 11/11 right now. :PBTW - MAL needs to change the status from "airing" to "finished". ;) Des said: Yeah, people are completely forgetting about Madoka Magica since it hasn't aired in, what, 3 weeks? :/Series was nice and interesting, but not the best of the winter season for me. For a show I wasn't particularly thrilled about at all from start to finish, the ending was pretty good. The fact that Anna met with Nitorin and talked with him about everything gave me a lot of respect for her. She's my second favorite characters in this show, and probably one of the only ones I'll remember. My favorite is, of course, Sarashina. Doi is still confusing, right up until the ending. I think his feelings kind of got hurt when Nitorin told him he hated him, but I don't know for sure. Just a guess. Oh well. 6/10 in the end for me. |

| I liked this series a lot, and I am glad I started reading the manga, which is even better. No matter what happens, I HATE DOI. |
| I am really like that Shu and Anna seem to be back together. Anna x Shu |

| I liked the series!!! It was a breath of fresh air. : ) |
 |
| I feel it was too rushed... but overall, it's a good ending! I have come to really like the storyline, I guess I will have to read the manga sometime soon! :D |
| My favourite anime this season !! i want a sequel!! |

| Quite terrific. Let's do this again sometime. |
| I really didn't want this show to end! I loved it! I'm going to hope for a second season. |
 |
| Love. 10/10 |

 |
| Beautiful. Stunning portrayal of a subject matter that is rarely investigated/explained. The only flaw is that it was slightly rocky in terms of story flow in the beginning.... but it just kept getting stronger and stronger as the series progressed. A solid 9/10. |
  |
| Amazing series. Accurately portrays feelings between genders and how they are viewed. On top of great music and animation, BAM 10/10 for me. |
 |
| 9/10 for this show. I really really like it! And I admit I cried many times. It's something I can relate to and I can say that I felt like Nitori many times in my life. I would have loved the series to be longer. 11 episodes are really not enough. I really liked the unique art and the relaxing music. Well done to all those who were behind this! Thanks for making this show! Now I would to read the manga someday :) |
| One of the refreshing series has ended. I really liked Nitorin and Anna's conversation and actually put up a big smile in my face when he said that he still loves Anna. <3 This rare kind of show deserves some good score. I'll give this around 8 or 9. |

| Absolutely amazing, I had little hope for this show, only expecting it to be something I would use just to waste my time, but I'm surprised at how much I ended up caring about the characters. Definitley ties in for best thing I watched this season. |
| I had a great time watching this show. I started reading the manga now as I felt there is just a lot more material there. |
| Too bad this probably never sees a sequel. |
| A nice watch =) The concept was interesting although it felt kinda dull to me <~ after 11 episodes not much was resolved Overall 7/10 for me~ |
     |
| The ending probably feels rushed because episodes 10 and 11 were combined to make a new episode 10 due to the schedule being disrupted by the recent disaster. Perhaps when the DVD versions with the episode count restored to the planned 12 will make it more satisfactory. |
| I loved this show, it's just that I had hoped another ending... But it gets a 9 from me, 'cause I love the animation, the characters, the story and the whole thing =3 Now onto the manga~! |
 |
Game_Master said: good ending, but they could've at least shown some part of the play. I think it ended as best it could. Nitori "coming out" that is. Rarely do anime endings satisfy me, but this one was alright. Hopefully the DVD episode won't undo this good ending. |
| Ahh, It has been a pleasure. |
| THEY PULLED A F***ING LUCKY STAR ENDING!!! OH well it was a great anime anyway. 10/10 |
| Finally it ends and quite a nice one. Looks like Shu finally accepted his fate. And yey Anna X Shu is back. ^_^ |
| Great final episode. For the anime-only watchers, definitely check out the manga, it's even better. This is one of the best of the season for me, only beaten out by Madoka. 9/10 I don't think it's likely we'll get another season in the future, unfortunately. Even though I'd love a sequel to this, or Aoi Hana. |
HawthorneKitty said: On the other hand, I was really hoping that there would be a small glimpse into the future a little where Nitori's voice fully dropped, only to have Norio Wakamoto be voicing him. ROFL. That is the funniest image, and Wakamoto is my favorite seiyuu. No, but i thought him getting back with Anna was a good choice, and it was a very cute scene. Supposing of course, that is what followed. She seemed to like it XD The episode was good but it wasn't some masterpiece ending. |
| The anime industry really needs more series like this... For those wanting more of Hourou Musuko, I highly recommend reading the manga. :D |
 |
| The series finished way too quickly but I really liked it. |
| I'm sad that this has ended :( I totally liked this series as it feels refreshing and nostalgic. XDD Realistic in some way and depicts the school life of a growing kids. How nice :D 9/10 because there are only 11 episodes >:/ |
| Wow maybe I am too homophobic or something. I really didn't enjoy this series that much. :/ |
| i honestly dont like how it ended..i am not satisfied..i want to see the story as it delve deeper.. |
