| He changed so many people's lives and in a way those people gave him an unforgettable last year of his life. I was rather surprised that I dind't realise he was dying, I mean those 2-3 last episodes were sort of a build up to this moment. At the time when he sang the Erlenkönig I just thought he was trying to cover up the burp sound, but it actually is a song of a dying child. Good-Bye Sakamoto-kun :( |
 |
| The theory has so many points that make it true imo. That's really sad and a sick foreshadowing. Really loved this finale. 7/10 |

| Damn this end is sad af (+ theories may be true ...) Good anime overall, 7/10 for me but this last episode was 10/10 |
| First half was cringey, second half was great. A hot-and-cold show for me, high points were really amazing, low points stooped to a new low, strangely endearing though. Good experience nonetheless 5-6/10 |
| Sakamoto is amazing!! I knew he'd have a few tricks up his sleeve, he really goes all out :'D |
| Whoa, the feels in the end. A nice finale to a enjoyable series, hail to our savior Sakamoto! Good that it went well with Acchan in the end. The one theory here in this thread left a bitter aftertaste tbh. |

Subtilizer said: Was looking around some episode comments and I stumbled across this one trying to debunk the "Sakamoto dying theory" Then why does the blonde one ask him "You're not really going to America, aren't you?" and "You don't have any regrets"? |
Re:Zero nice troll ending.  |
Nice ending to a good series. Will miss this. Totally. |
 Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don’t care. |
| Sakamoto has been fabulous and perfect from start to finish. I think he's an angel or something - no one knows about his family or life, and he's just mysteriously leaving. A few unanswered questions but it has been an enjoyable anime. There were times when the comedy was a little flat, but Sakamoto has been a very entertaining character to watch. |
| I thought Sakamoto would be a Nanny McPhee like existence, cause he helped everyone and when he wasn't needed anymore he went away. Never imagined he could be actually dying. This makes the end feels bitter. But honestly, if he was really dying, it would be hard to do all that with his body without showing some pain so I'm not feeling this theory much. Anyway, the end was still very emotional with all the farewells, Sakamoto sad face hit me hard. 8/10 it was a fun ride. |
| Baby, daijobanai... |
| I came here for answers, and I got them. But I still thinking in other idea: Sakamoto is already dead. This make sense if we consider that he knows how to cook, to play the piano, to dive and have a strong body; maybe he'd never seen the snow because when he was alive he was in another place not because he always was sick because if he was so sick so he cannot go to see the snow I think less learn to dive. So, I consider, Sakamoto is already dead but he had a lot of regrets and he gets the oportunity to return for do all those things. And this explain the question that Hayabusa ask him at the end, because he knows the truth and he want to confirm that now Sakamoto can depart in peace. But I really prefer to believe he's not human and for this reason in episode 2 he comments that the human species is very interesting, therefore he cannot have close relationships with others. Although above all I'll keep the image of that Sakamoto turning the worst situacion in something better.  |

Anyway, the end was still very emotional with all the farewells, Sakamoto sad face hit me hard. 8/10 it was a fun ride. @Roco27 --> For the ''he's not human'', it also works in a way where he can't have human relationships with others because he's always confined in a hospital ( except for that one year, his last one ) @horitsubastudent --> Some fatal diseases do not really damage your body's strength at all, plus most of what he does ( except all the REAAAALLY physical stuff, which isn't actually that present ) is something anyone could do, but they are presented in such an exaggerated way that Sakamoto looks like a friggin god in our eyes and in the eyes of the other characters Anyways, let's wait for the OVA, maybe that could clear up some of the questions? Who knows. |
| Honestly, the ending was good. Atsushi is saved, Fukase is defeated and left the school for good, Sakamoto also parts way to an unknown place and his class tells him farewell in a funny and heartwarning way. I liked that face of Sakamoto when he sees his classmates for the last time, it looked like if he was about to cry. Nice closure. Respecting the series, tbh, the comedy was very hit or miss. I never laughed hard in any of the episodes, and the most the comedy of the series did to me was giving me some laughs, but, apart of that, I found that aspect of the series more amusing than funny. Basically, the series it's one of thoses shows who use one gag and exploit it again and again, and while at first it was entertaining, I got tired at the end. The voice acting was good, but apart of Kubota and Sera, everyone else sounded okay and not over-the-top enough to make me laugh (and that is one of the main factors in a comedy for me). However, the series compensates that by adding some heartwarning and inspirational moments of the characters developing or becoming better individuals thanks to Sakamoto's help, who made his farewell at the end even more sad, and that is probably the best thing of the series. 6/10. Now, time to wait for the 13th episode in October. |

| omfg both ansatsu and sakamoto giving me feels😢 |
| Man, this finale hurts. Sakamoto you will be missed. |
| Love this anime, so cool, funny and give feels. 10/10 |
wawon0 said: I came here to laugh, not to feel This is basically 90% of us all right now. Hearing that the 12 episodes covered the mangas, I'm scared of what I'll see in the ova aka episode 13. What if this theory is true ? IT'S GONNA BE WORSE THAN CLANNAD ;_; ((((For me)))) |
| As funny as this show could be at its best, it wasn't there often enough and was probably a victim of its own run time; honestly, this would've been way better a short. 7/10 |
| Rly nice ending, sakamoto is a boss 8/10 |

| So I was about to ask where Sakamoto's actually going, but damn didn't expect that. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Great finale! Really sad to see Sakamoto go. That dying theory really does seem plausible o_O Anyway, this show was for me more about how Sakamoto positively influenced and changed those around him in crafty, yet often times funny ways. Each episode left me with a warm feeling. Bumped this up to an 8/10. |
| I need sleep. |
| I didn't think I was going to be hit with the feels... damnit I'm going to miss this show and it's characters |
| poor Acchan he was used by that bastard well at least he got what he deserved and Sakamoto is leaving to work with Nasa i think? or he's not? |

horitsubastudent said: I thought Sakamoto would be a Nanny McPhee like existence, cause he helped everyone and when he wasn't needed anymore he went away. I thought the same. Francesco_Wang said: i found out that there is a disease in japane called "sakamoto disease" so.... if the theory about his death is right he should be named after this disease? Probably :'( I gonna read the manga 'cause I need to confirm the dying theory. When I watch this episode, something didn't make sense. Now, all those feels and Sakamoto x Hayabusa talk makes sense for me. I'm so sad rn OTL |
| Great farewell episode. Sakamoto turning that attack into one of the greatest graduation speeches ever. Lol Fukase xD Sakamoto leaving the school, He will be missed. For the first time ever his expression changed :o That pie face at the end XD Overall, Really entertaining series. Sakamoto's never ending swag each week was really enjoyable to see, Waiting for episode 13. 8/10 |
 |
Sakamoto is Jesus Christ. That's why he's amazing.   |
| That was a sweet ending. Wish we got more answers about Sakamoto, but I guess that's fine. Didn't find the series very funny though, just kinda ridiculous. |
Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness. Thy actions cause men pain and suffering. Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins. How would you like to see what death is like? -Enma Ai |
| After that episode all I can say is... Stay Fabulous, Studio Deen. |
 |
Pretty much perfect way to end the series, at times I didn't find some jokes funny but most of the time I did. Overall it was very fun to watch :D |
No it is not. @OP: I died a bit inside today, i was not expecting this tbh. |
 |
| What an amazing finale! Out of all the anime I watched this season, I have to say Swagamoto had the best finale. They wrapped up all the loose ends from Atsushi's problems to Fukase finally graduating from the school to Sakamoto leaving for America. Besides, a graduation is always a nice way to end a series. And it gave Sakamoto the chance to give that amazing speech with the help of Atsushi. Though, the theories about Sakamoto being on his deathbed are quite interesting. I really wonder if that's true? All in all, Deen really delivered with this series. It was a faithful adaptation from what I've read, had nice animation, a good soundtrack, and a balanced mix of comedy and sentimental parts. Really, I don't understand why people are always hating on Deen. They do a really good job, and it is especially evident here in Sakamoto as well as in Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu from last season. Oh well, maybe they're just on a roll for 2016! Back to Sakamoto, I'm also looking forward to the OVA! |

| This anime was really fun to watch, Sakamoto was fabulous. I was quite bothered because nothing was showed about his life, thoughts etc. I was just gonna end my post with "Sakamoto remains a mystery" but I read the dying theories and it makes a lot of sense, now my whole body aches. |
| A touching episode where Sakamoto has to hide his sadness to stay cool. Did not expect this much drama in a comedy genre. I love when anime has jazz soundtrack and here is no exception. I also liked Fukase voice; it's unique. The middle portion of the anime was more bland than the first few episodes when I was laughing so hard. But still, one of the best, if not the best anime this spring season! 8/10 Can't wait for one more episode... |
| Much sadness at the ending of a very entertaining series. The fun twists and humourous solutions made it a fun series. In the end....too much Sakamoto was just enough. 9/10 for always cheering me up every week. |
 |
| Yo, I don't believe Sakamoto when he said he was leaving because he was recognized by NASA, there's some juicy mystery about that. Is there a REAL reason why Sakamoto left? |
Sev is for Seven Seven ate nine Seven is BETTER than everyone |
| I did not expect myself to be having FEELS for this anime. Something about the last episode was just heart breaking. When the students bid farewell to Sakamoto, it felt like they were saying goodbye to a piece of their childhood that they will never get back or see ever again. Then I read the death theory, and that just made me feel more teary... 8/10. This swag comedy is gold |
| I liked this show. I thought it was going to be stupid too. But it was very enjoyable. 7/10 |
