THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Ahh, I'm sooo happy right now. It was really long ago since I watched an animé with an ending that was this perfect. Ren is so damn adorable, I just love her.

This ending made me almost forget all the stupid people with stupid opinions that this animé contained.
Halfway through the animé I was really thinking that there is no way that the ending can b e good, I mean Arc Alie wanted to "protect" the edel raids against their own will. The absolute protection part of their name sounds like they will even protect them from enjoying themselves or making friends.
And Chaos Choir want the edel raids to rule by using Ren as a weapon, so that humans can't mistreat edel raids by using them as weapons. FFS, DON'T THEY SEE HOW MUCH THEY ARE CONTRADICTING THEMSELVES!?
This means that almost everyone is evil, since both big sides are evil. WHERE IS MY GOOD ( or at least humane ) SIDE! Is really possible that this many people are that stupid? Damn I hate witch hunts...

Well, now that I have gotten that of my heart I'm just going to be happy that it ended this good and go get some pocky and cola.

They really broke out the good animation in this one. Too bad every fight in the series wasnt that good.
Ren was a lot cuter at the end :D

I thought this episode was a pain in the ass, they have the same conversation in every single fight and come to the same conclusion every time. It gets old pretty fast, it's not bad if you just skip to the last 5 or so minutes.

Great episode, just two episodes earlier I thought that the rest would be an avarage ending, but when Coud started on The Lost Song I knew the ending would be great (and it was) all in all I will give this anime 9/10 (it lost one point becouse there wasn't too many surprices in most of the episodes)

Can someone PLEASE tell me what the name of the music is, played by the violin. It's really striking and has a lot of emotion. It's played throughout the whole anime, and it has very high tones. Hope this is clear enough.

Odd, this series broke the #1 rule all anime must follow:

The ending has to suck.

Isn't it against the law or something to have an anime with a good ending?

Yes it does violate the laws of nature, but I am glad they broke the rules and had a Happy Ending for once, was getting tired of crying because the ending sucked, no one was happy, etc.

This was a good series, I was surprised, not a bad way to spend some time.

The ending was also perfect to me, it really had everything it needed to have and the story wasn't really centered around fighting unlike some new Anime today which actually are. But the story in itself and by itself is a great and unique one, I really enjoyed watching it, it is a very good Anime and yea the end gave you a warm feeling in the heart~
This is Anime is definitely one of my most favorite ones of all time~ ^^

i dont know why but i just really enjoyed myself while watching, i know its not all that good but i just had such a fun rise and that ending was really cute, good to see a show where the main couple actually gets together by the end and i dont have to continue the manga to see them do so(looking at you kekkaishi, ehh at least they got toegther too)

This was a hidden gem for me, I only found out about this anime cause I saw someone post about it in a forum, but let me tell you this anime was really cool. Its rare to see an anime like this in which the couple actually ends up together, I give this episode a 10/10 however the series had a couple of boring episodes towards the middle so thats why I'm only giving Elemental Gelade a 8/10. Still it was a pretty enjoyable anime with an awesome ending that provided closure to everything that the anime set out to do in the beginning. If anyone has other recommendations of anime similar to this one (in the romance/action department) please let me know, I'm always itching to watch more anime :)

nice ending, I found this anime long time ago but didnt add it to list and forgot about it, then I found it again so I decided to watch it right away ..

first 16 or so episodes I totally loved, would give like 9/10 for those ones, but next ones were absolutely ruined for me by Viro, she was so annoying I just couldnt even enjoy the episode fully .. I started enjoying it again near final ones, so 8/10 overall

I've got a bad habit of clicking spoilers too fast, then regret it ..

A nice, although far from perfect, final episode to a nice, yet far from perfect, series.
Although that very last bit was brilliant.

Well worth the buy and well worth the watch.

to be totally honest i loved this anime, and i have a dieing desire for a 2nd season about Ren and Coud's "New Journey" thats Suposadly Beginning. Rens Ending Outfit and Personality were so cute i could have Died, had it not been the Shock that this anime is now over and ending that Kept me from doing so. WHY MUST IT END WHEN THEY FINALLY END UP TOGETHER?!?!?! i wanna see them make Sky Thief Mischief with Boss and Par..... and end up getting Married and Having Kids >:O!!! UGH THE POSSIBILITIES!...... ok i'm done *Goes to cool off* all and all 10/10 for this anime from me.

there is still the matter of age seeing as prtty soon with in a couple yrs there wld be a considerable age difference between ren and coud i mean she will go on living well after hes dead of old age with out her apperance changing where as coud wld be an old frail man i dnt think ny love /heart cld stand tht pain then again this is for a younger audience so i guess i shldnt read to much into it even tho it was brought up in an episode then quickly forgotten. there is one thing tht cld effect this outcome is the fact coud gained eves power maybe tht will allow him to live aslong as here. there cld be another series but it wld not involve the human characters from this one because they signed a 200yr seaze fire/peace after that time undoubtly another will start

There was one part I especially liked about this ending.
During the cliche "lets leave for infinity and beyond together" ending, ren actually brought up the question if they really would be able to breath once in space :)

Well, at least this solves the issue of their different lifespans. A Darwin awarded lovers suicide can probably be seen as romantic in a manner of sorts, and to be honest, it might be less painful for ren.

Very lovely ending I must say, quite a great way to finish of this story! This anime sure had a lovely story and character development and a final conclusion! I wasn't sure what to watch this morning but with the great action from the first episode it sure directly catched my intention and well I sure liked to marathon this anime!

All in all a very good anime I must say! 8/10

The ending was really beautiful.. quite cliche but very satisfying. That was quite a long kiss.. nyahahaha. Not much for the story.. but Ren is the more than good enough reason for me to enjoy watching this. Has it's share of likable and annoying characters. I'll be reading the manga some other time.. looks like the story and characters are a whole lot different. The anime seem like a simplified version of the original story. Either way it was a nice and enjoyable watch. 8/10

I'm all for happy endings but I feel that there were some heads that needed to roll. Don't know if I would have forgiven those 3 bitches, I'd have slain them and then start the peace process from there. Now off to Karas.

yet another "save the princess at the top of a castle" cliche, the fact that all it took was a few simple words(chant) to solve everything including breaking the resolve of the enemy who has killed countless of their own is just was too lazy in my opinion, then again I was not expecting much, It was a good ending I guess.

Another example of someone complaining about a mediocre ending to a short anime based on a logng manga. What do you expect when you cut hundreds of chapters down to two dozen episodes?

Phew.. I thought it will end in a tragic way but thank goodness it was a satisfying ending.

I honestly start this series because it had an romance tag in it, cuz that's one of my top genre priority before watching a series, and surprisingly it is good. This is my 1st time watching an anime with a very low quality, I'm a but worried that I might not be enjoyed it but thanks to the good pace and the consistent storytelling, I found myself attached to this and finish it till the end, though the character developments was not shown that much, especially to Cou being weak till the end.. Well the important thing is I enjoyed it and the conclusion satisfies me. I'll rate it 8/10 :)
