| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well so things I really liked.....The beginning with Sawako suddenly crying and remembering that she should not so she began to force stop herself. After Kazehaya's blush was good. And so my favorite Sawako moment=> <img src="http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/francismeunier/number%20two/224e6855.gif" border="0" /> I found that Joe and Ayase look good together but was more funny that Ryuu told Joe he had holes in his jacket because of the fire...rofl at Joe's panic. Really too bad for Joe that the parents took him by force.....should have been more assertive that he is with Ayase...>_< And so a GIF of Joe was a good moment one=> Really liked the way the part with Kazehaya/Sawako ringing the bell on New Year's.....good moment. During the fortune paper......Kazehaya's was quite the lucky but too bad that Sawako got that bad luck but it still has something worthy of it. And so made of combination GIF of Sawako but not sure it's good=> <img src="http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/francismeunier/number%20two/de15db47.gif" border="0" /> Pin moment was good too when he saved Ayase from the glass guy and that other guy......the surprise they had for each other was funny too. Really liked they showed the place where Sawako/Kazehaya met for the first time in winter as well as the other parts of the town during winter. These were really good Pin moments GIFs with first scaring those guys then a little argument between Pin/Ayase=> And so ends one of the most purest of animes I have on my list.....really so sad...this episode was good but it pains me that such great animes are few around that I have seen. I will follow up on people's advice of seeing Nana and Skip Beat but I am not sure there will be that ambiance this anime was showing. Mother feeding Father from the Sawako family shows a excellent view of how Sawako/Kazehaya might enjoy their family in the future......Kazehaya does sometimes act a little like the father=> The unique art and atmosphere was also unique and delightful for me very much. This is officially a 10/10 for me. |

| I´m waiting subs, well let´s see how ends... |
| A very good ending to one of my all time loved shoujo anime. This one is right there at the top with other great shoujo anime like Honey and Clover, Nana, Skip Beat and Ouran koukuo Hostclub. I do hope they make a season 2 of this anime, like I said, most of the best shoujo anime out there end up having no sequel to them that they deserve. but regardless, this anime has been by far, one of the most heart warming romance genre anime of all time and will always be in my all time favorite list. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Didn't watch with subs, but I could understand most what they were saying. What the hell. No confession? It just ends? Aggghh, that bothers me a lot. >:/ Still, a nice episode. Wonder if this means a season two. My score: 8/10 |
| Hm, that was good... 9/10... |
| Hope there's 2nd season (well there's live-action movie coming out so far). |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| i cant believe its... over... T.T |
| Aww... I was hoping for more character development, but it's a good ending still. There at least was some kind of conclusion for Kazehaya and Sawako. Even though nothing really happened, at least deep down inside, they admit they are in love. Pin was funny, as always. I like Ryuu's attitude, as always, lol. Well, this series started off very promising, but after the Kurumi arc, the whole story suffered from lack of growth and extreme cheesiness. I thought of dropping it at one point, but it did ended nicely. I'll give it a 7/10 after averaging out the good moments with the extremely cheesy ones. I don't mind a second season, as long as something actually happens. This is also one of the rare anime that made me wonder what my life would have been life if I had experienced high school romance... but meh, I guess in the end, I could (and do) live without it. It certainly does sound like it would have made a nice memory though. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| i'm waiting subs too! err! i want to watch it now! does everybody knows what time or when will the sub will out? |
 |
| Eh... There probably will be a season 2, but not sure if want. In the beginning, I'll admit that things were pretty cute, but things got a little too repetitive, and the atmosphere felt just extra shoujo (unnecessarily so)... In the end I guess I feel that KnT was too pure and sparkly. Feeling generous, 7/10 Don't expect a confession until the end of a second season, and a kiss at the end of a third. That is if you don't get sick of the constant 'misunderstandings' first. The slow pacing associated with KnT may eat at you after a while. Loved: Art style, animation, voice acting, and fabulous. Hated: Repetitiveness, overall storyline plateau, powerful emotions that fell shallow, and Kazehaya. |

I am not sure.Tomo-chan and other friends are buying foods and met guys. tsubasalover said: No dear, Kazehaya's brother was sleeping with Maru waiting for him. Also that guy's name is Joe dear....maybe you forgot it. Sawako's parents are waiting (with her brother? sleeping), and enjoying their moments. shanimebib said: Same here buddy....same here! but regardless, this anime has been by far, one of the most heart warming romance genre anime of all time and will always be in my all time favorite list.

| No matter how many sparkles you put into this anime it is still a pretty basic Shoujo anime. Actually the series was starting to get really repetitive towards the end. Disappointing that there was no real development between the two. Yet at the same time really sweet. Though even though this anime had a lot of basic Shoujo elements used in how you would have expected them the supporting cast really made this a truly great series and one that I love. If it wasn't for the side characters well this show would just not be as enjoyable. This is indeed one of the better Shoujo series out there because it has a wide cast of enjoyable characters and the comedy just was really great I think I laughed almost every episode of this thing. I give this a 9/10 Really though. . . they needed to show less sparkles I think if I had a dollar for every time I saw one in this anime I think I would be rich. |

| I'm waiting for subs also, Eclipse are speed subbers so be calm, and wait LOL. They're bringing it out as quick as possible. Guess I'll be picking up the manga again after I finish with this ep. Sounds pretty annoying now that I know they havn't confessed... Oh well.. |
Thalandor46 said: IMO it was obvious they were leading towards a second season since just Kazehaya was contemplating something about not have esteem.......that esteem will be most likely the key to the confession.....apparently the manga is....For the first time in 25 episodes, I'm taking points off for the pacing. The pure happiness factor has offset that until now, but I just can't take it anymore. The Sawako-Kazehaya relationship was clear as day from the beginning of the series. And for 25 episodes, we have watched as they completely failed to develop that relationship. Sawako as a character developed for sure, but their relationship at the beginning of the show was minimally different than it was at the end. I don't give a shit what's in the manga. This is no way to end an anime. If they had given us ANYTHING to work with, my heart would have exploded with joy and I'd easily have another 10/10 for my list. But they pulled the same bullshit dance they've pulled throughout the entire show, and absolutely nothing is different. For a disappointing ending that was extremely frustrating to watch, 9/10. ...It's a weird feeling, negatively ranting about one of your favorite shows of all time XD |

| I am not satisfied. Maybe around 8 episodes ago or so I began to lose the feel of characters emotions. It just dragged on from there. The plot and the story is basic textbook stuff but the execution is excellent. Maybe if I watched this about 100 completed series ago I might like it more. Overall, 7/10, but I expected a little more from this. |

I agree, at the end of the Kurumi arc it was 9/10 but it became very repetitious only slightly saved by the Chizu and Ayane they're why I'll still give it 8/10 |
 |
| Aww. I thought last episode was a bit too slowly paced, but it made this week excellent. Although I loved the ending, i'm hoping the slight open-endedness of it all (although obviously it wasn't THAT open) means a second season could be on the way? But nevermind, i'm off to read the manga now. 10/10 - Maybe it wasn't perfect, but it made me forget to breathe a lot of the time and that's what counts to me. EDIT: Dammit, didn't notice the last option on the poll! |
| It wasn't the ending I expected but it was nice, my fav serie of the winter season =)!! 9/10 |
| It was a good shoujo, but that's it. I'd say its strongest points were the voice acting (which was excellent) and the animation. The main problem was the oh so slow progression of their relationship (and Sawako's character development; hell, it felt like it regressed a couple of times, even) and of course my main gripe with the shoujo genre in general: the humour, which always has to take the edge off the more dramatic scenes. But overall, I enjoyed this show and it absolutely needs a second season. I give it a solid 7/10. |

| Ending was a bit anti-climatic, you'd at least expect them to kiss, especially when they were at the same crossing where they met each other a year ago. But it leaves a nice opening for a second season, so I'd like to set my hopes on one. All the snow really made me feel chilly. Animation was superb again. Too bad it's over now, but I'm not completely sad about it or have a feeling that I will miss it. I guess there weren't enough changes in the pacing for that. It just kind of manages to drag on.. but with no real conclusion. Hm. francismeunier said: So it was Tooru in that crowd? So he is already in town for New Years. Nope, still Pin. |

| It looks like my opinion has been repeated a few times already. I can't say that the series was terrible because of Kazehaya and Sawako's lack of emotional development, but I can say that I'm actually more interested now in what's going to happen with Chizuru and Ryuu. It seems to me that there relationship is the one that has become the most interesting. Kazehaya and Sawako should have kissed in or confessed to each other in the stary night episode towards the beginning. If they would have added some drama to the series then, their relationship would have been a lot more interesting than this drawn out version. You can't keep eluding to development and then just continue to put it off for the convenience of the elongation of the franchise. I like many others was bored ten episodes ago. Maximatum99 said: Maybe if I watched this about 100 completed series ago I might like it more. Overall, 7/10, but I expected a little more from this. Make that 200 completed series ago for me. I really enjoyed the art, the music was beautiful but the story got stale. 7.75/10 for now, but it could change if the next series is a masterpiece. I'm calling it, there will definitely be a season two. I'm thinking probably Winter or Spring 2011 maybe sooner depending on Blu-ray and dvd sales in Japan and elsewhere. |

| 10 out of 10 out of 10 out of 10. Asdfgh, i'm crying over this series again. Personally, I'm glad they didn't give it an anime-only ending, with a confession and whatnot, leaves the possibility open for a second series...and it would have felt wrong, to me, when the anime's been so good about sticking to the manga all the way through. |

No. Like desolato said, I don't think Tooru is in the crowd. It was Pin (spiky hair guy), who is in the crowd complaining about Tooru, who is going to be with his girlfriend. (and thanks for reminding with the post about who the Tooru is. I couldn't remember the names of those who don't appear a lot ... I think this personality is like Ryuu). Also, like Ryuu said, Tooru WILL be coming shortly (not sure if he came yet). Also, I'm not sure who Tomo-chan was with. Also, thanks for reminding about Joe, I really forgot. I'm really not good at remembering characters' names. |

| All good things must come to an end. 10/10. |
 |
| Overall, the series had well done Romance, and a couple of funny moments (mostly with Pin)... However, the rest of the time, it was quite boring. Never liked the animation from episode 1 either... 6/10 - Above average. |
| Pfft, I so knew Pin was going to appear. They're gonna be canon soon. Also, Chizu/Ryuu! Yay. The ending was delivered nicely, and without too many vomit-inducing bubbles, so it upped the score a little. But overall...it really wasn't a great series and I still don't get all the hype it got xP |

| Pin x Yano save the day 7/10 I hope more of them in 2nd season or Kurumi!!!! give me Kurumi!!! |
 |
| 8/10 because I like Jo, Pin, Yano, Yoshida, Ryuu, amazake, puppy and Sawako's kawaii Otou-chan. |
| really enjoyed the series, even though it was fairly cliched and textbook as far as plot and characters go but i still loved it. ending was fairly unsatisfying, classic "let's just imply shit so we don't piss some people off". If there is a second season unless its a mini series of 6 episodes i can't see it going particularly well, be either them getting together and running into fairly sitcom misunderstandings or just more slow paced inability to confess |
I eat your cereal at night and don't even charge |
| I loved the series, even though everything is 'too perfect' as in: beautiful girl meets gorgeous/perfect boy. I didn't expect the ending though... 8/10 because it's a nice serie, but too perfect and without something every romance serie needs. ;) |

| HATED the ending. WTF? The LEAST they could've done was confess to each other. The series didn't move at all. Since the begining to the end, Sawako and Kazehaya's relationship stood still. And it started out so beautifully...the ending was SUCH a letdown. The whole time I was silently wishing 'confess...confess..confess'. And right at the end too....he just walked away without saying anything. Open ends...urgh. zyukichan said: I was longing for a cute kiss between sawako/kazehaya, because that's what a real romance serie needs. I hope there will be a second season since they're all talking about: what will happen next year... (I hate an open ending :x) Sigh...true. 8/10 |

| Ending fails due to know kiss! >.< I still give it a 10/10 but gahhh just one kisss, was that so hard to animate? XDDD |
TinaYoshi said: Ending fails due to know kiss! >.< I still give it a 10/10 but gahhh just one kisss, was that so hard to animate? XDDD Kiss? HAHA. THEY DIDN'T EVEN FUCKING CONFESS! Ending is epic fail for a love story. It got me so depressed. *continues bashing head against wall* |

| There are so many of these beautiful moments~ And this is our final Precious smile :') It was a precious journey, thank you for everything ^^ |

| enjoyable series, even if it was a bit too innocent and sweet (at this pace expect the first kiss when they're both about 25 ). What really made this series for me is that Kazehaya was not the typical shojo lead (re: a frigid asshole whom the oh-so-sweet heroine changes to something a tad less abusive) and that the side characters got a lot of spotlight, which fleshed them out quite nicely. Best moments: Kazehaya changing desks at the beginning to sit with Sawako the entire Ryu x Chizu arc Pin turning down Kurumi |
| omg there better be a season two that was an awful ending! they needed to get together >__< |
| It had too many flaws and I have seen better romance stories than this one, 7/10. |

There´s no comparison NANA and skip beat are in other level in everything, both are josei, kimitodo is shojo Also Kimitodo is overrated NANA and skip beat NO |
| T____T you know... the manga is still ongoing right? its not like the story just ended there. and given the popularity of the anime, im going to make a very highly educated guess there will be a second season. the anime went up until around chapter 24 of the manga, so when the manga reaches a high enough chapter count (its at, what, 45 now?), we will see a season two. so everybody chill, and dont f-ing hate because the ending actually follows the manga, and i HATE animes that make up their own endings. if you want more to hold you off, read the manga |
