| It was a pretty good ending episode. I mean, the whole series hinted that Hiroki and Elis would be together in the end. I'm glad it wasn't Kiri though. God, I hate her. The Tomoko part is confusing. So she lived then? What was the point of her saying goodbye like that. That was just dumb. |
| I just got a Canvas 2 ending feel from another anime that just ended, Akane-Iro ni Somaru Saka |
| Yayyyy, it was Hiroki x Kiri for like 23.9 Episodes, and finally Elis gets him! =D I was rooting Elis the whole time...Ffs, they should have shown them two more afterwards. Ah well, I guess the scene after the ending song will suffice. ~Abs |

| she's not underage i think but even if she underage, so what? there isn't "underage" for love but i agree that cousin-cousin relationship is quite strange, and still can't accept it it's okay that you can accept that kind of relationship it comes back to each person's opinion |
| 6/10 Halfway through 23 i wondered if there was gonna be a gay cliche airport scene =/ BAM, there it is. Pretty poor ending to a average anime. The show didn't show Hiroki having those romantic feelings for her until the last 2 minutes of the final ep when the show just flipped his emotions like a switch, but maybe i wasn't looking hard enough, i guess sibling love is somewhat close to "lovers" love... in japan?. I wish for happiness between the two hillbillies. So what if she's his 1st cousin. It's not like it's abnormal in this world. Just look at some other animes. They married / have a relationship with robots, aliens, demons, dolls & other human-like creatures which are not human. Why is it that many people complain so much when it comes to cousin-cousin relationship? As far as the anime goes, there aren't any characters in the anime who are against Hiroki-Elis relationship because they're cousins. Their blood related no? Its FAR different from *completely* fictional characters like aleins, demons and androids :P Yes, no one in the series actually thought it was weird for a cousin-cousin relationship to be weird - i thought THAT was weird. Makes me wonder all sorts of questions about Japan, won't say anything as i live in the states and have no idea what life is like in Japan o.O Not frowned upon for blood-related family members to hook up? or was that just a little difference in THIS anime. |

| Alright, I just finished watching this series .................AND WOW...What the hell happened? Seriously, I keep repeating the last few episodes in my head, and honestly.....it makes no sense.... The chemistry in this show does not add up in that last half of the 24th episode. Its like watching the chemistry in the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince movie....And I'm not just complaining because I like Kiri's character, nor am I complaining about the incestuous ending.... What I am very upset about is that for 23 and a half episode, Hiroki's feelings/relationship towards Elis was nothing close to loving her in "that" way. Not a single moment did I recognize a sign that shows his feelings for her in "that" way. To me, he seemed like a brother and only a brother. BUT yet, somehow, after she confesses one more time, he decides he likes HER?!?! It seems as though the writer/creator tried to be "bold" and have some amazing plot twist, but in the end, this ending seems so amateur-ish, to be honest. A real good ending would have had some development to it. Like a sort of progression towards the end, rather than just an unexplained ending. Well, I'm just ranting to let off some steem, ignore me if you must..... |
| Elis Suck,Selfish Bitch. |
| God I hated that.. it was a 9/10 for me up until 24, then an 8.. then a 7.. then a 6.. and then the final scene tilted to a 5. I hated Elis, she annoyed the piss out of me. Should've been Kiri. |
| It was a 6 for me, then an 8 when Kiri got dumped on the train station, and finally I gave it a 10 after seeing the last scene with Elis & Hiroki after the credits. Elis ending FTW!!! |
| gg, hiroki, way to let 16-year-olds decide your fate. |

Elis ending FTW!!! Did not give it a 10, but that is exactly how I felt, I had been rooting for Elis and Hiroki the wholeeeeeeeeeee time.Hated Kiri.... |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| well that was a weak ending, it seems that the writers just forced an elis ending. i dont have anything against elis but come on during the whole 23 episodes the guy showed feelings only for kiri and then bam in the last minute of the show he suddenly has feelings for elis? come on they should have at least showed some signs of affection during the other episodes. on another note i feel sorry for kiri, she liked hiroki from the time they were in elementry untill they became adults, and just when she was about have a breakthrough she gets dumped. |
| Although I liked Kiri a whole lot more, I can see why he went to Elis. The whole show the only person he thought about was Elis. Kiri was basically throwing herself at him and all he thought about was Elis. Poor Kiri D: |
| Not sure what show you were watching, but for 23 episodes his thoughts were pretty much focused on Kiri. The only thing with Ellis that I can remember (and keep in mind I watched this show 4-5 years ago) was helping her overcome her fear of red cause of the car accident and what not. The ending of this series is absolutely awful. The writers just went "Let's add a twist!" and made Hiroki forget 23 episodes of development just so there could be a twist ending. Luckily though, I've tricked my brain into forgetting this ending and instead substituting one where Ellis gets run over by a 18-wheeler and Hiroki and Kiri end up together. |
| Goddamn-it Japan WHY INCEST, WHY!?!? I swear 80% of romance animes have to do with good ol' hillbilly style, family lovin'. I think I am going to do exactly what Meddigo did: Imagine Elis got turned into road-pizza by that 18-wheeler and Hiroki and Kiri stayed hooked up. |
| I think cousin-cousin relationship is wrong. But I don't mind the ending because I really disliked Kiri. |
 |
| DID THIS GUY SERIOUSLY PICK A 15 YEAR OLD RELATIVE!!!!! this just failed on so many ways im a harem enthusiast and this is the first time ive been pissed off about an ending i would rather him end up alone someone go school days on his a**. Screw this anime... |
 |
| Gahhh! >.< I wasted my time watching this anime for an ending like that! I hate it! It disgusts me to see them end up like that! Sickening! I like Kiri to end up with Hiroki because.. come on, hiroki has feelings for Kiri all throughout the episode series and what a drastic turn of events to fall in love with Elis just like that.. didn't he mistake it has brotherly love?! >.< Kiri is kinda cool at the first half of the series... but then she became an inconsiderate and insecure woman at the last 3 episodes.. Different from her usual self! The first 23 episodes were pretty nice and was planning to change the score from 7 to 9, then that ending just blew away my expectations literally...down to 6/10... It was saved because of the paintings! XP |
 |
| Hah hah, so all the people who actually liked this series hated the ending! And here I am, the guy who hated the series and then liked the ending (sort of). Seriously, after a completely and utterly predictable 23 episodes, a little surprise doesn't hurt! He did show a few signs of liking Elis throughout the show actually, it's not completely out of nowhere like you guys seem to think. But it was still hinting more strongly towards Kiri, perhaps just to throw us off? Anyways, not like it matters, this was still a 4/10 in my book. For the most part completely average, and then subtract one point for obnoxious whiny characters with contrived emotional problems. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| OMG What's with the ending scene where they both were naked covered by a blanket? Hiroki you can't do her when she was just.. 15.. maybe? Come on, try to be a little patient there! Though I like both Hiroki and Elis painting combine together, I hate the ending scene! 6/10 (Ending ruined it for me, even though I am Hiroki x Elis supporter, need at least another episode to elaborate more on the ending) |

| I just finish playing the Visual Novel, and planning to watch the anime. I'm not very surprised to see that Hiroki choose Elis in the end since she's the main heroine in the VN, but seriously I hope the anime would adapt the Kiri ending. And now, I decide to drop this anime before I even started |
| Very satisfying ending, at first I wanted this to end with a Hiroki x Kiri ending but about half way through the series she just started to annoy the hell out of me for some reason so I'm glad they went with the Hiroki x Elis pairing. But wow I didn't expect that last scene after the credits at all!!! I loved it so much that I raised the score of this show from a 7/10 to an 8/10. Other anime's need to learn from that ending... now that's how you freaking end a romance anime people, they both were able to finally do what they could not do before (paint red for Elis and start painting again for Hiroki), so they were able to fulfill each others dreams together and of course what a better way to show the audience that they are together than with scene with them naked on a bed under some sheets? Plus the kiss to seal everything was just the topping on the cake! For some reason I didn't mind the incest in this one, and wait was she underage ? You know what I don't care, its an anime and they were both freaking happy in the end...I do however feel sorry for kiri since she got stood up so many times by Hiroki through the series but I still feel like Elis deserved him more in the end. |
 |
| I don't mind incest. On the contrary. But damn this ending was absolutely crap. Loltweest at the last episode. Well done. And why was it necessary to kill off Tomoko? This doesn't even make sense... |
| is there more to this anime in the manga? the ending i watched in the anime is screaming 'this is not the real ending' |
 |
| I thought I was watching an anime centered around Hiroki and Kiri. Then at the last episode, HirokixElis. Damn they set me up. |
| Alright time for my thoughts on the subject, having been confident in my prediction abilities i predicted from episode 1 that hiroki would end up with kiri, I read through all the visual novel routes and was pretty confident kiri would be the ending girl, the fact that the anime practically screamed romantic development between hiroki and kiri for 23 episodes only served to reinforce my prediction, and then.. Episode 24 came, out of nowhere it seems hiroki's emotions did a complete 180 and suddenly he falls for elis, I was shocked to say the least, for me it was completely unexpected, what should have happened is he gave the painting to her then seen her off to paris since she would have finally seen him draw, and then he would go back with kiri. Also i don't know why they bothered to add in tomoko's line of "Good-bye hospital onii-chan" the reason why she says this is you learn alot about her and hiroko's background in the visual novel truth be told tomoko's route was probably my favorite one. It's a shame they didn't consider giving her more character development. (on a side note if i didn't watch the credits all the way through i would have freaked out thinking they killed her off. Glad that didn't happen.) Last but not least, the supporting cast aside from tomoko (especially sumire and takeuchi near the ending) seemed to irritate the hell out of me, which is really odd considering all of their routes were fairly good in my opinion, Hagino was pretty hilarious in some parts though. In terms of Visual Novels i was pretty excited to see this one get an anime adaptation, even a manga one (haven't read it yet but i might later) however with that ending, i wasn't able to enjoy this anime like i thought i was going to be able to. So overall i'll end up giving it a 6 or a 6.5 for that horrible twist of an ending. this makes me feel like re-playing the visual novel. |

| sighh incest... but then Kiri who..uhhhh idk this is confusing i don't even know which to pick lol i rather have them not be in a relationship. happy ending :P |
| Wha That ending!! Loved the "No more sensei" :D |
| Lol. I was about to yell when the credits hit. I hate open ended endings. At least they concluded it in the credits with some clips. The angel painting was good. I thought they were going to have Hiroki create a painting of Elis. I liked the ending. I knew it was going to end at the airport. I just thought that Elis would be leaving to Paris, and he'd be regretting his choice. |

| This show made me realize how everyone even i changes overtime. 1st time I saw it was few years ago and i was quite happy with how it ended but now it feels wrong and bit irritating. Sent with Mal Updater |
( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list ) |
| I'm not really OK with this whole cousin incest, but looking back it was pretty clear that Hiroki only had feelings for Elis. He felt nothing, NOTHING during his time with Kiri. The blush after they woke up was the only instance I remember where the guy gave any indication that he might feel something for her. So yeah, Elis was definitely the right call, but I'm not comfortable with the fact that she is her cousin or that he's at least six years older than her. |
| So yeah, sorry for necro-ing this thread, but since the last few replies were also dated July 2013, I decided to register and add my opinion in as well. Okay, so, first. Marrying your first cousin's legal and socially accepted in Japan. Second.. That. Ending. Was. -.-'' The dude was like, meh to the blondie the whole time, then at the last, 3, 4 episodes? He was attracted to his childhood friend since, uh, way back. Suddenly his emotions are all over the place, then he got his eyes on blondie. Like a terribly placed deus-ex-machina. Crammed, even though it's a 24 ep series. My 2 cents. |

| No.. Not yet. |
| I don't like how Hiroki suddenly decides to change girls in the last episode but I guess I saw it coming. The whole time they were hinting an Elis ending. I just wish he didn't lead on Kiri like that only to crush her hopes a second time. I'm glad that this series had a definite ending (chose a girl) at least. |

| I really don't get why they tried to make Tomoko-chan look like she died at the end ._. |
