| Show started with annoying MC and i almost dropped it beacause of that. But, since im masochist i tortured myself those first few episodes. But, once the story started develop i started to like it more and more. I expected it will be romance type of anime but it seems i was wrong. Ending like this was expected once they revealed true form of Yorito, but, it was good. Im glad it ended how it is, neither happy nor sad end, right in the middle. But, i am glad Aono got to live. (she kinda reminded me to Yin from DTB) |

| For me, this Anime is a heavenly masterpiece. It's so underrated. I wasn't disappointed at the ending. It has a nicely executed ending. Very good soundtrack too. |

| Bittersweet ending indeed. But I dont get why Aono is okay with being alone now. Seems like she did a 180 after turning human. So, was it that being a Yaka made her delusional or something? |

| Even tho I wasn't enjoying this anime at first but later on it became good (after the plot twist when we realized that the protagonist is made by aono a imposter of her real brother). And the ending is quite acceptable ahh it was ok ending. But Why didn't they explained why takeshi have that katana where did he learned to use super human strength and skills? I was confused at that part because I was interested in him more then other characters so it is bugging my mind to Know these things. I would give this 5/10 ok looking point. |

| sad ending but we need those from time to time, I respect that the story was consistent from the moment that Matsuri told us that the sword needs a yaka's blood to revive a yaka and the first stabbed yaka will die. It happened exactly like that, Matsuri died and Yorito faded away. I also liked the fact that Yorito promised Matsuri that he'll take her into to open sky but that promise was never fulfilled, we got out Aono ending, she was a decent girl, bit too troubled but the story was ok with her. 7/10 overall, I loved the first episodes but I kinda wanted a simple romance between Matsuri and Yorito. |

| So Yorito and Matsuri are gone... what a bittersweet ending but was good to see everyone living their normal lives, and Aono being human again... |
 |
| Well, that was a very different ending from what I expected. It was better than I expected, too. At first, I couldn't understand why Matsuri making Aono human again considering that it would consequently erase Yorito, but ut makes sense actually. It was the only way for Aono to be able to move on and finally be happy, instead of being trapped in her own illusion. I didn't expect for this show to tackle so many interesting thematics like grief, existence, and just life as a whole. It was a bit clumsy in its approach, but I have to admit it adressed to themes in a very nice way, the message was very good. It's a shame that the anime still has numerous flaws, like the characters being way less compelling than they could've been due to lacking personality (although I did grow to appreciate them enough to actually feel the emotions in the last episodes), the first half being very boring, the second half not being all that engaging for the most part except when it started to truly adress the mystery... But still, it really was better than I initially thought. Not a show that'll remain in my mind forever, but one that touched me on its last episodes thanks to a very sweet message and a surprisingly interesting study on what it means to be alive. It was far from perfect but I still liked it, so I give it a 6/10. |
