| we need a 11/10 points system for series like this, seriously. great episode. I'll go with the "*speechless*" quote. |
 |
| I cried. I cried when I was watching 10 and I watched 11 straight after and I cried. Ef is a fantastic anime, it's so emotional and deep.... I can't wait for the next episode, how can they finish it off in only one more episode!? |

| You could always re-rate your entire list so that 9 is the new 10... then 10 can be your 11/10 I'm saving my 10's for a truly amazing anime, even ef won't get a 10, just an 8... Unless the last episode is even more great, could make it a 9. Even though it 'only' has an 8, it's a good series nonetheless! |
| Aww ... i dont quite understand why Chihiro would throw away their memories together ... isn't being with Renji the only thing she looks forward too? Besides, just cause she can throw away her memories and pretend nothing had happened, doesnt mean he can. She's robbing him of his memories with her! I would agree that episode 12 would be about Renji trying to get Chihiro back ... but i dont think they will be together unless some miracle happens and Chihiro can remember more than 13 hours of her current life. |
 |
| That was so sad! i was so shocked i didnt know what to do or think o_O it was so unexpected i never thought she would do that but... then again i had a feeling something HAD to go wrong cause everything had been going fine the whole episode... damn you anime logic! After Renji read the story and it ended up in The girl killing herself i could have sworn Chihiro was gonna jump off the school's roof o__o |
     |
| Well the final episode aired in Japan and I got the screen shots for it. I'm waiting for the blogger of the site I go to, to put up the episode synopsis (which is useally put up a couple of hours after the screem shots), but from all the screen shots, I pretty much know what happens and I like what I see. Renji is determined I'll tell you that... one hell of a scavenger hunt if you catch my drift.lol |
 |
| Definitely the best episode thus far. I was in silence after the ending, all I could do to my little brother to say I liked it was a thumbs up. It was... moving |
 |
| aw..i think it's good the way it is now.. she kind of killed herself by throwing away her memories..for renji, because she knew that there wouldn't be any future for them with her memory defect ._. nyah...anyway, i'm looking forward to the next episode..i wonder if renji will do anything or if he'll take it how it is to respect her wish..oO |
| beautiful episode!! 100/5 |
  |
| Such a sad ending... )": |
 |
| Wow. Brilliant episode. I was quite surprised by how Chihiro chose to end the book. Their breakup is probably the most emotional one I've seen in any anime so far. Can't wait to see how it ends... |

| ef did it again. The endind was just so sad, I can't believe Chihiro got rid of her memories with Renji T_T I really hope that on the last episode, they both end together again. |
Kurisu86 said: bklynrob said: Yeah, I was thinking that too. And even when they were first on the roof and she was running toward the edge, I kind of expected her to trip and fall off...Am I an evil person?Wow, what an ending. With the way her novel ended, I half-expected her to jump off the roof, so I guess there is still some hope left... haha, same here~~ along the line, i do expect her burning her diary though..pages with renji in it..but thank goodness, she only ripped it.. |
| Everything is already written. It's just wow! ^__^ |
     |
| So many people are shocked at the sudden sex. It's an eroge adaptation which makes it part of the territory. I knew something like this was going to happen when Chihiro put off letting Renji read the novel until after their date. I'm certain he won't let it end this way. |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| I thought that Chihiro was going to burn her diary and then jump off of the roof in a parallel to her novel. She needs to realize just how much she means to Renji, he doesn't care if he has to endure pain because of her memory loss, he just wants to be with her no matter what. As for the sex, it's the same thing when your paretns say, "When two people love each other very much..." except they actually do love each other very much. I'm really pulling for a happy ending with all of this but if it's sad I'd better be in tears. |

| That was really touching episode but it was so sad :'( poor Renji who will have to remember everything while Chihiro gets off easy |
| O.O <=== in shock AGAIN.... give me a minute... this always happens when I watch Animes liek this!!! T_T B-but.. he.. and she.. and I'm so confused!!! >.<..... I get what happened but it's just so DEEP o_O *sigh* Only one episode left... I really don't want it to end!!! TT_TT |

     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| ... hmm ... I'll try not to sound mean but .... just like it happend with miyako, didn't they 'do it' .. too fast? 1º kiss ... then ... xxx .. ^^;;;; |
| This episode was quite surprising again. BTW: lol, the town I which ef takes place has a german supermarket. XD  It's a Penny Markt.  |
Faust721 said: *speechless* I thought Chihiro was going to commit suicide! D: Beautiful episode though.. |
 |
| A very hard situation for Renji... very hard indeed |
 |
| Pretty powerful ending, Chihiro just shocked me with what she did. |
radiantfire said: Also, what does everyone else think about folding your clothes before doing it? A touch of innocense perhaps? After all they did it at the top of a school rooftop. I thought that her story's(the novel she whrote) ending was going to be different... Suicide and burning down her home? Pretty deperessing... At the end I thought she was going to commit suicide like in her novel... I guess I was partially right... I wonder how the last episode will end... Masterpiece as always, 5/5... |
| Pretty. I love this episode :) It's sad; at least she didn't kill herself. |
| I thought for a moment that she'd burn the diary but at least she said goodbye to Renji. Still it's so sad, I don't know what to say. Haven't been impressed and shaken this much for a long time. |
 |
| it was a very emotional episode, but i do have trouble with the fact that chihiro is mentally a 12 year old. |: |
Mhia said: <span style="color:dodgerblue">After I watched it I couldn't say a thing about it, I was speechless as well. And then I went with 'wow'.. And I also thought she was gonna jump off.</span> Same the whole rooftop thing really set it up >< Loved this episode, wonder what they will do in the last one. This anime is just wow. |
     last.fm ╢ My CG AMV ╢ Otaku Test ╢ |
| I...have nothing to say. This was...no...I think everyone understands where I'm coming from...well, how is this going to end? |
  Dango, dango, dango, dango, dango, daikazoku~ |
| I thought from when the story was being told that she was most likely going to throw the book off the roof, or less likely and more disgustingly written jump lol. I think it wasn't AS sad because they foreshadowed it and the latter didn't take place, but still.. :[ |
| http://www.youtube.com/swiftstylez - My AMV's. I would really appreciate any comments and ratings :] |
| ... O_O ... so even Renji went all the way with Chihiro, felt somewhat ... unexpected, I envisioned them being more pure but the ending ... that was amazing in so many ways, I also thought that Chihiro was going to follow through and jump but glad she didn't. |
tainteddonut said: So many people are shocked at the sudden sex. It's an eroge adaptation which makes it part of the territory. Haha, Kanon was also an erotic game adaption but didn't have anything close to sex in it so I kind of expected ef to be the same. ^_^; I really only stuck around for the Renji/Chihiro aspect of the show. Their love seemed so pure and sweet, and that's why I liked it. (And that's why I disliked Hirono/Miyako because it was the opposite.) So when the sex scene came up... it really ruined it for me. I couldn't take anything after that seriously, and even though there is only one episode left I really don't think I will be finishing this series. |
| When the burning the books thing in her novel came up I was all like," NO. NO!!!!! OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU SELFISH BITCH" out loud (which marks the first time I've yelled at the TV while watching anime since Princess Nine) because I knew what that meant. I hated this episode and enjoyed it at the same time. I guess this whole series is something I love to hate. I don't think just the fact that they fucked after the first kiss was all that strange since lust at first sight happens all the time, but the fact that she's mentally and emotionally 12 and Renji is like 16 or 17 was way icky. Even though Chihiro was the one who suggested it, it seemed to me like Renji was taking advantage of the situation because she's so emotionally fragile and desperately lonely (lolmega pity moe kawaii uguu desu ^_____^). She's fucking (more or less) 12 man, you should know better than to tap that even if the bitch is asking for it. Like I get that this is based on an eroge, but for something that seems to be striving to be somewhat deeper than your average porn-without-porn anime (even though the drama fails in a lot of places comes off as excessively maudlin) I think the sex scene was really out of place. Up until that point their relationship seemed purely innocent and nurturing rather than sexual. I AM PISSED GET OUT FANSERVICE YOU ARE RUINING MY ANIMES. Going to watch the last episode now. |
