| Lovely ending in general I must say! Quite lovely atmosphere, characters and overall story with a nice pace! All in all I quite liked this anime as it was quite solid! 8/10 |
 |
| This was actually really good :) |
| What an anime. I liked it. |
| Hm yeah, I expected a little more out of the ending, especially with the mom thing being left hanging. Although I doubt much more could've been done with the mother, she's the type who does whatever the hell she wants, and she doesn't want to act like a mother, but at least she's willing to pay the bills. What a selfish person though, whenever it comes to child rearing, I like to tell the whole world that it's not a joke and not all fun and games. I did like the bit about the short term "consequences" of pressing the charges, the constant media attention and people talking about you. I can understand how that can break a person. Fumika finally took a step forward but she's constantly being judged for it and can't live normally, as well as bringing trouble for people around her (Natsuka's family). I honestly don't blame her for wanting to escape. But (un)surprisingly, Mika returns to tell Fumi to stop running away, and they yell at each other about what they've always wanted to do. I think for Fumi, thinking about these things made her realize that she wanted to keep living, to the catharsis scene was a fitting resolution...although still a bit underwhelming. Overall, I really enjoyed the topics the series had touched upon, a lot of the episodes left me thinking for awhile. The concept of the anime was great, and I think they utilized it well, showing diverse scenarios. Shigofumi that was touching, or angry, and how not all shigofumi had to be letters. This was definitely a wonderful experience and a title that I won't forget. |
| Well it was a really good show with a decent ending. The thing is Shigofumi had a really good start. For the first half the plot was on a whole other level, but in the second half, only couple of episodes were able to leave an impact, rest of them were kinda flat. Still it was a Nice show overall. |
 |
| Great show. I didn't fully grasp some of the ideas though, such as why did Fumi shoot Mika[Alter ego]? Don't really get the Fumi VS Mika conflcit. Overall still pretty good. The themes/ideas presented at times were pretty heavy, such as suicide, bullying, murder etc, but they tackled it well. I best liked episodes 1&2, 10. Dang 1 shot characters can really make you feel. I was looking for a show as good as Death Parade, and this was quite close. |

Anything as good as that. |
| first episodes looked good and had the potential to become a thriller like death note. But it ended boring and lame into a hardcore drama anime |

| The mother is nearly as terrible as the father, poor Fumika. Overall it was a great and unique show, but the conclusion felt a little rushed and lacked tension for my taste. That's why I can't give a 9. Still a strong 8/10. |

| I loved it in the beginning but became bad as it went forward. I am deeply disappointed by the story and was not finished with wherether her father got punished by the law or not. If I was in her shoes I would have shot him too, that stupid crazy mental jerk. |

| The time spent back to this anime series has been well spent. I really enjoyed this series finale, and the fact that this anime series has shown itself committed to social issues. My vote is 8/10 plus a point for the effort put into describing social problems. So the final grade is 9/10. P.S. An appeal that I do to all: do not forget the anime series a bit dated, do not let them go into oblivion, because like those just released, these are invaluable. Always love them. |

| "There's no reason to point gun at your own father. No matter what the reason, he's still her father" If only that guy was the one abused in his childhood, he definitely will not say something so shallow like that I mean you can't trust pretty woman, most of them are inresponsible and evil Either that or unstable xD I don't what's really attractive about both Fumika having emotions, screaming and crying about what they want I guess they both finally accepted each other, both exist I like most of the episodes Shame it's pretty short, 1st and 2nd episode though.. the most shocking for opening |
"Signature removed"   |
| Good anime, reminded me a bit of Jigoku Shoujo, since most episodes focused on random people. Fumika was a good protagonist, the only thing I wish is that they didn't keep around the sidekick girl with her constant teasing about Kaname's feelings for Fumika. |
cutepopularmaido said: I liked the beginning where it showed the stories of others more then the main story but it was still pretty good. 8/10 Just finished this show so I'm going to quote this post from 2008 and say I agree with it. The episodic nature at the beginning of the show (first 2 episodes, mostly) had way more potential than the split personality story focused entirely on Fumika did. 7.5 score. |
  |
| I liked this a lot. I felt like the series lost a bit of steam towards the end but it wrapped up Fumika's story quite nicely. 8/10 for the series as a whole. |
| Tho I wished a much happier ending for Fumi (in context to what happened to her),it still ended nicely and I am glad both of them were able to do what they want - live. |
| There were like 2 or 3 really good episodic episodes but the rest was just mid, 5/10 |
| This is for all 12 episodes and the OVA episode: Shigofumi is an ok anime. Sure, some episodes were captivating, but the majority of episodes were just meh and difficult to get into. This anime would have also been better off by cutting out the silliness, since it ruined the immersion. And the episodic feel of the anime can make watching a new episode tiring. And I really didnt like when the anime decide to give background story to the main characters. I think this anime would have been better off as an episodic new character-drama per episode. Again, an ok anime, but this anime had potential to be as memorable as Kino's Journey, but it wasnt, so in the end, its a memorable but forgettable anime. |

| Shigofumi turned into a coming-of-age school drama after episode 8. Not what I signed up for. |

I liked this final episode, but im sad that the series is over D:
i still cant believe fumika's mother, "i dont want to be a mother." bleh.
the fight between fumi and mika and the crying was great.
i also really enjoyed the epilogue thing, with everyone from the previous stories and stuff. that was pretty cool.
lol
Shigofumi is my favorite out of the season, loved it, and im gonna miss it.

| @Jes While the father was terrible, as he turned into a sad broken man after his wife left him, I admit the mother is disgusting to an extreme with the "i don't want to be a mother." Woman, who have ZERO maternal instincts, are very terrible creatures. I know, in the real world now, abortion bans is now a prevalent topic. At the same time, I find it tragic when children learn their birth mothers are such toxic women. |
