This is so bad, they should have ended it at episode 11. Was there a point to the last 2 episodes? What's that even about anyway, a reset in the same reality, or is it an alternative reality? If it's an alternative reality, what's bringing back Noel gonna do, when the others don't even know her.

This series managed to get worse by every episode, and achieved a new low with episode 12.

The only decent thing about the series is Noel, and even then, it's only because she's a moe loli, physically and mentally.

WTF ending?

I think this series deserved better than this. Thoughout of this episode I was wondering if they could do it without her but apparently they didn't have the balls to do that. And that's a shame because the rest of this episode was really nice, they could end it with child dreams theme and it would give them a lot better credit. My hope were in vain though, like in almost every previous episode with senseless melodrama.

Anyway, not worth of my time in the end, do not recommend this to anyone. The art was great and the music good but the writing of this series had lot to be deserved. It wasn't as bad as for example Glasslip but overall (melo)drama in this anime really felt forced and deus ex elements really hurt the story.
"We'll give them shitload of moe characters and they won't mind those plotholes," I guess. No, have to disappoint you, it doesn't work that way.

Oh, come on man. Why would they draw Noel like that in the ending?

I actually liked this to be honest. I find it hard to see anything wrong with it. Each character gets their share of stories about what happened after the Disc and after that, how they were able to get back together, so it was pretty fine for me. I wasn't even expecting what was gonna happen after episode 11, but what happened until the ending was not that bad at all. It actually gave me the feels, though, so I have to say this is one of the two drama animes I really liked in 2014, the other one being Nagi No Asukara.

LOL this episode is the only one where I actually liked one of the characters and it's the new Shione.

Of course the best ep has to be the last one...

Awww...She came back. But it would be nice if the last part wasn't watercolored style animation.

I liked the ending. Haters gonna hate. 10/10 only drawback was wish they crammed in more plot and didn't drag out the start.

The power of friendship.

Shione looked quite mature in this episode, her outfit really worked well with her personality.

I honestly didn't pay much attention to the mix of timelines. It would have been interesting if they explained why there was another timeline rather than doing a memory wipe. Like they all go home, sleep, wake up and don't remember about the previous night.

But I did like the focus of the last 2 episodes. Friendship

The last 20 seconds were simply amazing. Loved the art style.

Overall the show gets a 6/10. The show took too long to get good.

Didn't think it would have a happy ending. Going by a lot of reviews and comments, I thought this would be like a certain other show with a similar story. I also think the ending would have had a much bigger impact without the cheesy post-credits scene. Ending by just showing a glimpse of Noel's hair before the ED, was subtle and said everything that needed to be said.

All in all, a pretty forgettable show. It gets a 5/10 from me. Noel was cute and an epitome of a moe character, but besides her, I couldn't care less about any of the bland characters or this even blander and sterile show.

Honestly the only reason I watched the series to the end was for Noel. She was the only character I actually liked, after everything reset and she was nowhere to be seen I pretty much lost interest.

I'm not saying this is a bad anime, just not that good either, in my opinion.

Noel and Shiina Natsukawa's voice are the only reasons to watch this. All the other characters are forgettable. Ending is pretty cute tho.

Animation was really good. The rest was just nothing special at all. Just typical anime. 5/10.

I wanted to like this a lot more than I did, was expecting something cute, sentimental and nostalgic, and only got that in very small doses. The first episode did a terrible job of introducing the setting and characters, but there was a huge improvement once Nonoka started getting involved with her old friends, and then it got boring. The idea of the disc hanging over everybody's heads, like a broken promise, but being something in the end that can connect the past to the future was interesting, but it could have been handled better. After episode 8 the show became mind-numbingly tedious, especially the episode about the festival, which involved characters running around aimlessly and just meeting up with each other.

I liked the ending episodes though. Nonoka had a chance to experience her town with all of her memories intact, which was probably the ACTUAL granting of the wish, but like everything else in the show, it was a little messy.

Highlights of the show were probably Kirigon and the anti-disc protests. Yuzuki is cute, and the visuals were stunning, especially the backgrounds.

I liked the ending, but the whole series was an unexpected bust. I just couldn't connect with the drama at all, all that angst and really nothing worthwhile to show for it. Just everybody hating on Nonoka for something 7 years ago, and nobody was willing to explain why and talk it out. And the one with possibly all the answers (Noel) is flat-out ignored. When we do find out the reasons, it's something petty and stupid for holding a grudge for that long. It could be argued that "kids do be like that" but it did not make a compelling show as it all felt forced and empty. Then when they started getting back together Shione turns all bitchy again for no reason. Ugh, hurry up and move away and don't come back.

The idea of the disc/saucer was cool (as well as Noel, who was the best), but the fact that the town/world is both uncaring and cautious about it at the same time was unbelievable. Why did they stop festivals and fireworks in the first place? No one ever said it was hostile or interacted with anything at all, so Yuzuki's point of contention ended up moot. And when Noel broadcasts fireworks on it, nobody says a word as if it was a common event.

It all would've been better if everything was a simulation by Noel to help Nonoka get over her mom's death (which would make that reset more meaningful). Then she wakes up, apologizes to everyone and helps them get over their anger issues, and all become friends again.

6.5 everybody sucks but Noel /10
