| I feel like an OVA is warranted, it didn't feel like a proper ending with the huge looming question of humanity's survival just pushed to the side. |
| I don't fucking care if many says its an asspull ending. I loved happy ending! It was still very emotional. It made me think that Yuna will never recover, but as soon as Togo cried and Yuna spoke, I cried in tears of happiness! It just feels great! Also, I'm also very glad that everyone was able to recover. Itsuki got her voice back, Togo able to walk again, Fu's left eye able to see, and even Sonoka recovered! I'm so glad I continued watching this and I never regret it one bit! A emotional ride with a nice tip of sweet happiness in the end. It was a fun ride. The ending made my day and the best happy ending I have ever watched. I here there's possibility of a 2nd season, but I don't think that's needed since it ended very well. What it needs is an OVA or conclusion on that Hero club is doing and about Sonoko as well meeting each other. And maybe further explanation of the hero system. This deserves 9/10. |

| lmao at this shit came in and thought it was one of those retarded ass school girls doing random shit since EP 1 then madoka vibe came in so I gave it a chance tsundere birthday ep was nice ... not gonna lie all the battles felt out of place as fuck.. whoever directed that shit should retire ending logic makes no fucking sense whatsoever.. including wtf change of heart moment with couple of words lmao at everyone being cured including the super handicapped bish brb wtf is this shit couldn't been a great series... but poor ass execution and shit logic ruined it big time would fucking destroy tougou's pussy so fucking hard though.. fuuuaaark |

| Despite Madoka having more impact on anime in general, I personally enjoyed this series more than Madoka. The characters are not as annoying as the cast in Madoka. They are more simple and likeable as opposed to the angst-fest that was the original Madoka cast. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I loved the ending despite all the hate. Why? Because those girls deserve it after all the shit they went through. So basically from what I put together + the thoughts of other people on here: - The tree took from the heroes to grant them power to fight - Some people say the tree never meant to keep what it took, and planned to return it eventually. I don't see the reasoning for that, but I can accept it. ...If you combine the ideas of "the sacrifices can be taken after so long" and "you start to heal once you're relieved of duty", then it becomes a viable theory. After killing the first 12 vertexes, the phones were taken away, but they were never officially "retired'', so to speak. The Taisha and tree obviously knew the truth of the threat so they didn't relieve them. Same for Sonoko. They took her phone, but were saving her as a trump card, so she was never retired. - Something happened during that last fight to change the Tree's process. As Fuu said, the fight they had was able to provide useful data to the Tree and Taisha. Whatever this data was impacted 2 things: 1 - It allowed all current heroes to permanently cease fighting. Fuu mentioned something about predecessors, but we don't even know if they need heroes anymore. This also allowed them to start recovering (possibly). 2 - the other thing it did was no longer require the Tree to take sacrifices. So even if there are future heroes, they wont need to surrender themselves to the Tree in order to fight. Either one or both of these changes allowed everyone to recover what they lost. ...perhaps the Tree returned the body parts simply because it didn't need the sacrifices anymore. Perhaps it returned them because the heroes are no longer fighting. Or maybe both. - the only true asspull of the show was Yuuna waking up. While I'm completely ok with that, because this show needed to end on a happy note, the fact that she came back to consciousness on willpower alone is cliché. Though oddly enough, fits her character perfectly. Then as she woke up, her sacrifices (taste and legs) healed as well. I also read on Haruhichan that they plan on continuing the series in some way. They don't know where they're going to take the story, but apparently this became super popular. Now that they are all healed and don't have to sacrifice themselves perhaps they will fight again. Maybe Sonoko will end up joining them as well since she is healing. Maybe they will introduce a new cast of heroes. Maybe they will have to fight the enemy gods now. Who knows? But I do expect a sequel of sorts on the horizon. |
| This is just too Madoka. The set-up, the art and animation (and even the music), the darkness of the theme (not as dark as Madoka though), the despair and the sacrifices of being a magical girl, which in Yuuki Yuuna's case, a "hero", an otherworldly force known as Vertexes or more commonly known in Madoka's lore as Witches, and a "the good outweighs the bad" anti-villain organization. Apart from that, the differences would probably be the dull first part and the "power of friendship overcomes all" ending Yuuki Yuuna, and the excessive crying in Madoka. That said, it's already set to be a good anime when you take ideas from one of the most successful anime of recent times, just avoid asspulls. |
| I had never wanted a happy ending so bad. I don't get the criticism, why do you want the girls to suffer so much? They went through enough already. Give me the power of friendship cliché all day, I'll happily take it over five crippled twelve-year-old who can't die. |

| Of course non-happy-ending would've made no sense, no one (maybe some though) is complaining about it having a happy ending. A stroy is all about delivery. When majority or about a half of the watchers are bashing for the same shit, it means the execution has failed. Suddenly everyone recovers? Yes, that can happen, but it had to be shown in a natural and plausible way so the audience can digest, have what they want and be content. It's not even about "it can be explained". |

| Thoroughly enjoyed this amazing show. Easily 10/10. |
  |
| This anime is just your average overdramatic moe magical girls nonsense full of cliché. Total garbage. 1/10 |
 |
| GARO & Yuki Yuna is a Hero best anime of 2014 let alone fall season. both of their episode 9 & 11 are awesome episodes. YuYuYu is better in both episodes. both of their episode 12 are disappointing but not enough to drag the whole series down. Especially not GARO since it's not the last episode both have fight scenes that are actually nicely animated and not the usual shounen shit action scenes that are actually boring talk scenes in disguise both have the same composers: MONACA, that's why some tracks sounds similar I would have made a recommendation if there's more similarity |

| Loved what they did with the ED. The episode itself was a pretty fitting ending for the show. Although if Yuna stayed catatonic I think it would've been a little more interesting. |
 |
| I guess it's always nice and bittersweet to end on a positive note! Yuna feeling dizzy at the end though, I may just be paranoid but I think there is more to this. And finally, Itsuki can sing again! |
 |
| Yeah well, that leaves a lot to be desired but I guess it could be worse. 6/10 ending, 8/10 overall. Also this is beautiful |
| The ending was seriously a huge letdown for me... it's not necessarily that it needed to be sad, but it feels like the 11 episodes built up for nothing. I like the headcanon that, when Yuuna fainted, she was actually still a hero and that was the moment when time stopped. I don't know, I love happy endings too but this time it doesn't make much sense so I'm disappointed. :s I really liked the other episodes, though. I wish I could give it a higher score, but.. yeah. 6/10 |
 (THIS WAY FOREVER) |
| Loved the ending, i cried a bit watching Yuna in worst conditions. 10/10 |
| And here we go, a random happy ending. Even so, i enjoyed the anime so for me it will be a 8 or a 9. edit : i'll go with 8/10 |

 「 To other people, I might not have changed at all, but I feel like I was able to change... 」 |
| Well.. we got a somewhat happy ending. Although I was pretty sure that Yuuna will be vegetable for all of her life. Karin's sacrifice last episode was nothing then. Just so that Karin uses the Mankai she never use. At least it was awesome and sad at the same time. 10/10 great series! I love Madoka and I love Yuuna. If this were true, then 11/10. Yuuna is still fighting |
 |
| Umm.. What ??? Everyone is safe and sound and everything is back to normal like it never happened. So this is what we get in the end a Happy Ending!!!. It's not like i hate happy endings but SERIOUSLY an ending like this after all those tears, sacrifices, pain and sufferings. Anyway,Overall its a Nice Anime.The first 2 or 3 Episodes were kinda lame but after that it was Good. |
 |
| Rated an 8/10, but it feels closer to a 9 for me. Enjoyable characters, feels, happy ending as all magical girls shows should have. Feel like it's a better Madoka Magica for me at least, as someone who doesn't enjoy seeing dark things happen to my magical girls. |
 |
| Was much better than i expected it to be. Actually I just picked up this anime as accident. As before watching it I grabbed "Yuma Kura Arashi" then I noticed I grabbed a wrong thing.. which was this anime "Yuuki Yuuna" .. as I dropped "Yuma Kura" which was horrendously boring and annoying to watch... I picked this up. Anyhow.. i didn't expect much from this.. Covers and names were kinda similar.. and this was apparently some sort of magical girls slice-of-life anime which i generally don't like as much. So I watched 2 episodes.. gave it 5/10 .. thought to myself "should I bother?" thankfully it got a bit more interesting since episode 3...so I increased my rating to 6/10.. so I kept watching.. it was more fun than I thought it would be.. so by the end I gave it 7/10 It was indeed overly emotional and cliche.. but in a good way, it made it quite fun to watch. On a side note.. my thought of how I thought author came up with this. Author thinks about making this anime: "lets have small pieces of paper, write feels in them, roll em up then hold them all in my palm and whichever feel shall fall, shall be thrown in" My point, the harsh emotional drops anime had and then suddenly "happy-go end" were odd. My point Yes, cliche. Yes, overly dramatic. But no fck it.. who cares.. it was fun anime. |

| Awesome anime. I'm glad best girl Togo got her hearing back and especially, can walk again. The other girls, too. Dat irony with them all walking and Yuna is in the wheelchair. lol Scumbag Shinju. How dare you make Togo cry like that again. I'll kick your ass! And that was the end of Yuki Yuna's chapter. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| It's been a long time since the anime ended. But I still want to write this to clear up some questions that people want to know how the girls got their offerings back. This comment is also meant for the future viewers of the show. This is what I interpret after reading through all of the comments on various forums and reviews. "Yuki Yuna is a Hero" to me was a good enough anime to stand on its own. Of course, I'm saying this is because how often it's compared to the "other more popular one". But saying that, as people have noticed in the last episode of the anime. The happy ending that it delivered seems to others and myself included a bit too rush and forced. I was upset by it, but after calming myself and reading through some theories people came up to explain the ending. I have to say in a way, the anime did give some hints that I just didn't pay enough attention to remember. And hence this is the reason I want to write this comment so you could accept the ending much easier. Here is the list of theories: -The first one says that Shinju's power was finite. And there are two ways to replenish its power, either by the offerings from the girls or by killing the vertexes. So how does this connect to the girl getting back their offerings? This happens because Tougou opened a hole in the wall and allowed tons of vertex to get inside. Shinju was able to get much energy so it gave the girls back their offerings. IMO, this theory doesn't have any pieces of evidence to back it up. And it seems unlikely for the Taisha to know nothing about it if they had been on this topic for 300 years. -The second theory says Yuna is still fighting and she sacrificed herself to the Shinju in exchange for her friends' offerings. This theory was sparked up because of the last scene of the anime when Yuna fainted on the stage. Fans speculated that moment was when time stopped and Yuna went to the battle. And this was backed up by many hints in the last episode. Of course, you may question why Yuna is the only one that can do it? It's been mentioned in the anime that Yuna had the highest aptitude and only she was able to pull a "unique" Mankai in the last second. The first hint of this theory lies in the falling petals scene after the battle, Yuna was the only one who didn't have her faery disappear and there were no petals on her. After that, we saw a conversation between Fu and Karin about Yuna isn't waking up and they mentioned how Yuna took everything on herself. Lastly, the most prominent clue is the script of the Hero club's skit. The lines of it were strangely relevant to the situation. It tells the tale of a Hero, a Hero that's fighting alone without anyone noticing. This theory was interesting and would fit well with the title of this anime. The only problem with this theory is how she returned back to the stage (And the whole noble sacrifice thing is kind of a copycat). After all, they always came back to the shrine on the roof top. -The third theory is much more simple, and to me the most convincing one (Despite that, I still have a hard time to accept it because I expected the answer to be more complex). The disabilities were never permanent to begin with. Mankai, as stated in episode 3, is the way to make you more powerful, just that you have to be handicapped. TO RECOVER, ALL THE GIRLS HAVE TO DO IS NO LONGER BEING HEROES. This is an act of equivalent exchange, Shinju lends you the power in exchange for your "offerings". As foreshadowing in episode 7, Fu said you could eat the offering after you offer it. We, the viewers, like the girls after seeing Sonoko, think the effects are permanent, but remember not once have Taisha confirm that statement to be true. So does Taisha know about the cure for the offering? I think that they do know but just cannot say to the girls because of the following reasons. If they tell the girls the solution, the girls would never want to fight again, and episode 1 stated you cannot transform if you don't have the will to fight. Without the heroes, the world would be doomed. Between the weights of humanity's survival and the lives of 6 girls, of course, Taisha would choose the former and lie to the girl including Sonoko. So why in the end they opted out and gave the girls their offerings back, why don't they need the heroes anymore? Well, Tougou and Fu showed them why they shouldn't continue. The former opened a big hole and almost ended the world, while the latter threatened to destroy their organization. In normal circumstance, Taisha would have Sonoko to stop these girls, but Sonoko said herself she wouldn't fight against Tougou. These girls are no longer sane. Imagine if they continued after the last battle; these girls would go rogue and destroy the world anyway because of all the disabilities they got from going full Mankai. And why did Yuna's recovery take longer than others and why didn't the petal fall on hers? Well, she destroyed the core with her bare hands and lost her whole suit in the sun unlike the other girls. Well, that was a lot of typings but in the end these are just theories fans came up with. To know the true ending and "real" explanations, I have to dig more and thankfully there is a sequel known as Sonoko after. It is available online. This addressed and disapproved many things of the above theories. Here is the brief summary. Thank you for reading this long post, and I hope you would free up some of your frustrations about the ending like I did. Btw, my score for this show is 7/10, a fine score. |

| Too sweet of an ending for me. Remember the scene after they completed the 'skit' Yuuna suddenly felt dizzy to almost collapsing; That should have been a perfect way to bring everyone back to reality that there should always be a sacrifice and Yuuna was chosen because she made like a silent wish/plea when she touched the last soul in its core. Yuuna could've pleaded for everyone to recover while offering herself. Of course nobody would know about that until after she collapsed then time would freeze one last time just so Yuuna could explain and say her goodbyes with her friends around her. |

| it was alright ending... all the build up from the past few episode were written off with everything is all right.. the first few episode were quite boring as well I'd rate it 7/10 I guess. |
 |
| I wonder if Togo remembered about her past friend (the one who calls her 'Washi'). And why Togo destroyed that wall? I mean, she didn't want to sacrifice herself to save the others? Then she wanted everyone to die together? Maybe I need to watch it again... =/ |

Hm... Thanks. =) So the answers are in the LNs... Well, I don't like when they do an anime thinking just on the people who read the LNs or just to make us read the LNs afterwards. I think that SOME answers they should give to the anime-only viewers. Anyways, Yuuki Yuuna was a very good watch. Mahou Shoujo animes usually are worth to watch, there's no mistake in not enjoy it. |
| |
| The ending was kinda flipped suddenly from very bad to a good ending. Well, i still enjoyed this show a lot especially the build up and the despair was great ;) |
 |
| I really don't get it. Why studios feel the need to throw in dumb, "the power of friendship will solve everything, despite the fact that it hasn't in the past!" moments into anime. Like, in what fucking world? Also, wasn't Karin deaf/blind? Where the hell did she even come from? That makes no sense. How did Yuuna go Mankai so quickly? It pretty much just throws away the expectations/conditions that were set for going Mankai in the first place. Oh, wait. The power of friendship. That's similar to the Deus Ex Machina horseshit SAO pulled, albeit not as bad, since at least there was a reason their ailments went away. The last half of the 12th wasn't bad, but the ending in general was just really underwhelming. 5/10 because I'm nice. |
| Lemme smang it girl. |
Mogami-kun said: The characterization was nice and unlike a certain other series I'm not going to name because the fanboys would rip me a new one, I actually cared about the girls here as they were properly established as characters and not just walking archetypes that only served the purpose to move the plot and conveniently kill them off for the sake of shock value, without us knowing anything about their real personalities. I definitely agree with this. Also, I wonder if this ending implies that the Shinju-sama actually is sentient and does care, and had a change of heart. |

kikohunter said: Saffron_entity said: And these kinds of oblivious people will be the bane of this anime. This was foreshadowed. Even if you are completely oblivious to the foreshadowing, Shinju said that they would lose their disability's after a while. Also why would you want this anime to be completely despairing and sad? For the sake of being despairing and sad? A mixed ending is what this anime needed. Anyway what was with the enphasis on Friendship and willpower? If you actually watched the anime than you should know that they didn't avoid becoming vegetables by friendship and willpower... The series of events actually make sense. Shinju just saw how incredibly risky and dangerous it is to allow humans to take such massive amounts of power and to give such incredibly despairing consequences to humans for taking this power to protect the world. Therefore Shinju disbanded the hero's from fighting which allowed Shinju to give back the offerings to the hero's. This is mirrored in one of the earlier episodes and its very blatant mirroring. Makes it hard to believe you watched this anime... The biggest problem would be that ,now that Shinju has disbanded the hero's, who will take their place? The angels still need to be defeated... This is probably the biggest problem of this entire ending. Who or what is going to protect the world??? If you take away that problem... This ending is better than the much predicted (and evidently hoped) ending of everyone turning into sad potatoes due to overusing mankai to protect shinju. You would have to be pretty stupid to carry that system on after seeing a hero manage to bring the world to destruction and almost succeeding. Especially when that kind of thinking wouldn't actually be rare in the situation. Fu was going to do it as well. So Shinju disbanding the hero's from protecting the world makes sense... But what is the alternative? Shinju directly fights the angels? It was stated by Karin that Shinju was collecting data on the hero's. So perhaps Shinju is going to make clones of the hero's? It's a pretty open ending in that regard. I wonder why none of the yuyuyu haters have even commented on this HUGE plot hole... Than again if you join the dots together from earlier episodes as well, the theory that Shinju is making some sort of clone or android of these hero's is more plausible and is slightly hinted. This ending is getting a lot more hate than it deserves just for being a happy ending that uses a lot of cliche phrases. It's a pretty logical ending (putting aside the HUGE plot hole) and it certainly makes sense. It is definitely not an asspull. It makes logical sense, It was blatantly mirrored earlier on in the show, Shinju directly stated that the Hero's will get better over time and it was a very emotionally impacting and beautifully done ending. Why is it so hard to see this? It's not about wanting to have a good or bad ending, it's about wanting to have a decently written story. Whether you like it or not, this is BAD writing. It takes everything that our characters went through and destroys it in a mere 5 minutes. Look at Karin' s mankai battle during the previous episode. What was the point of it? It's absolutely meaningless now because not only does she come back to fight a few minutes later but she's comepletely fine the next episode. Might as well never happenned. Not explaining anything and have it be the the power of friendship and willpower that saves everything is also BAD writing. What's the point of caring about the characters if we knew that everything would end well and fine? Agree on the Karin part. Suddenly, after her sacrifice event (and even during her multiple Mankais), body function losses effective immediately. That's not how it works during their first mankai battle. Just watch episode 5, Itsuki can still shouts after her Mankai. Also, no explanation on how Shinju chooses which body function taken as offerings.. imagine if everyone's voices / sights were taken after their first mankai.. surely there must be a difference on human body functions' worth? Having your taste taken is NOT EQUAL to your voice / eye / legs loss |

Mankai isn't a must - it's optional, hence you can still keep fighting without losing anything - the fairies will protect you from vertex attacks' anyway. So IMO if Taisha were to tell the truth from the start it wouldn't affect the girls' will to fight - only their will to use Mankai. Besides, what's with Yuuna suddenly can't transform due to emotional instability? That is not what happens to Fuu & Tougou when they went insane in previous episode. Also Karin's eyes and hearing were disabled but somehow can still fight (push the sun) along with others - How is she supposed to know they needed help if she can't hear or see to begin with? And how the hell does she recovers immediately when she just used multiple Mankais in the same fashion Yuuna did? The theory that Yuuna recover longer bcoz she touched vertex's core doesn't really hold IMO because it has always been established that their disabilities is a result of Shinjuu's action (offerings), not Vertex's (battle-incurred damage). |

It has been a long time since I watched the show, so there is a fair share of information I have forgotten. First, let me address the part about Mankai being optional, I think it always happens when it's filled up (even if they aren't going to use it, it's going to happen anyway), so it's inevitable. This information is backed up by the Yuki Yuna Mankai wiki page (not a reliable source though). I'm not sure if this was stated in the show or not, I just pull that from the wiki because I don't know which part to rewatch. So being heroes will always end up have to use Mankai. Your second point is Yuuna cannot transform due to emotional instability. I can't remember when did this happen, maybe in the last fight. But I think the third theory I wrote addressed this part, isn't it because she lost the will to fight? Fuu & Tougou even when they're full of bloodlust still can transform because they still have the will to fight (against Taisha and Shinju). Your third point about Karin knowing where to help is a good point. Maybe, just like how Tougou got all of the ribbons to compensate her legs offering, Karin got something that helps her knowing where to go (sounds far-fetched to be honest, but what other explaination could it be). And lastly, your final point about Karin's recovery. Once again, isn't that already stated in my third theory? They all recover because they are not heroes anymore (Shinju gives the offerings back). I don't understand your reason for doubting the part about Yuna's recovery. It takes longer because only she touched the core with her bare hand (And the show never shows what would happen when a person touches the core with their bare hand, all we see is that they were fighting while wearing suit with Shinju's power. Her coma has nothing to do with offerings to Shinju). Sorry I cannot explain more clearly at some part. Since I don't remember much about the show anymore. |

Nevermind, I also forgot some part already..thanks for answering anyway. After some time has passed, I dont feel as much urge for answers as before - It's just anime, after all.. |

| Amazing! nearly cried, glad to their smiles again.... you guys should read the Light Novel bonus chapter, it's a sequel to the anime, it explains many things in and after the anime |
xytech said: So each fairy had a handicap attached, and to recover all you need is to be relieved of your duty? As that'd remove your fairies... It just felt wrong to me. Most of the episode I was just annoyed at it. Sure happy endings are nice and all, and it fits the initial episodes of the show. But after these last few epic episodes I got spoiled, and wanted a nice continuation to them. Bad end, bittersweet end, whatever is fine - I just wanted something in the tone they were setting. That is a nice way to approuch it, I never thought about it, but you can really say each fairy represents a disability they suffered, "equal exchange". There were some plotholes, and the ending was the biggest one, but I cant say I didnt felt joy in seeing an happy ending. I actually didnt enjoyed the first 5 episodes, Mimori was the only good thing, the setting was kinda dumb, I found most of the battle designs retarded not to mention the use of the smartphone for powers was soo stupid, there I actually enjoyed more the SoL than the battles, because at least the SoL didnt felt ridiculous to me. You can also compare it to Madoka, which is almost impossible to avoid. I first called it a ripoff, but that is wrong, heavily influenced yes, but it diverges from Madoka, character personalities are different after enough development and the story doesnt take the it to the direction Madoka did (enemy was between us all along, no Divine Tree isnt an enemy, that is beyond the barrier IS). Visual were nice, OST, some people must be deaf, calling it amazing, it had some good tunes, but nothing that made it that stellar. Even despite all the weirdness with blooming, flowers here and there, the hero theme, all the plotholes, and a very week character development earlier one, that got decent later on, after episode 7 I got really into it, battles got better, loved the yuri vibes, and the plot twists that I expected to come, since Madoka had them, were original enough, and most important, they were needed to bring revelance to the story, and then done exactly that, it became an enjoyable watch. So, it does alot of things in way I considered wrong, boring, with weird choices, but when it finally starts to get decent, it doesnt fall short on its face, even by its ending! 7.8 (if not by some odd directions choosen for the setting, that I never came to enjoy, I would had rated this higher, because it surely suceeds in its strong points, very well!) need yunna x mimori yuri doujins now! |

| Honestly thought Yuuna would be forever be a vegetable, definitely an asspull deus ex machina. Damn you Mimori for putting your bestie through all that. Oh well. I enjoyed it even though the SoL element bores me. |
 |
| There goes my 10/10 rating. |
| The emotional scene between Mimori and Yuna was good. Overall I would have enjoyed this anime more if it were focused more on either slice of life or magic battles. Preferably the former. |
| Final battle was okay. Not that great. I teared up when I saw Yuuna hopeless condition. If this went bad ending, I will lower the score but fortunately it went happy ending, Yeahh~~ <3 Medetashi, Medetashi! ED Song: 3.5/5 4/5, not the best conclusion. Overall: 10/10, They should deserve recovery. |
 |
| Wow. Last two episodes took me for an emotional ride. 10/10 |
| This was just a beautiful ending. I don' t even care that this is an asspull ending anymore, I just love it. Will never forget this serie. 10/10 |
 |
This show is so dark. XD I really enjoyed it though. |
