| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I checked this series out on a whim. Little did I know it was going to be by far the best show this season. Honestly one of the most original and enjoyable things I've ever watched. It's a damn shame it only has 764 viewers on MAL when something as ridiculous as Mayoi Neko Overrun has almost 5x as many viewers. 9/10. Stunning. Actually, scratch that, 10/10, it really is a masterpiece. |

| That. Was. Awesome. While I've enjoyed a lot of shows this season, this was the only one that really made me excited to see how it would end. And I agree that it's a shame that more people didn't watch this, since this was truly the best show this season. 10/10 for me because of the entertainment value. |
 |
| Best anime I've seen in a while. Wow. 10/10 definitely. |
| Holy crap, that was by far the best finale of the season. Heck, that was one of the best series I've seen in a while. Seeing Watashi turn into Ozu at the end was GREAT; I am so glad I watched this show. Now it's time to rewatch until I get it. So. Many. Subtleties. |

| Just wanna keep applauding all the stuff who were involved in making this masterpiece. Extremely well made and had a real fun watching particularly the B part of the last episode. "Watashi" to "Ore" - 10/10 to his campus life. |
| Happy: This anime jumped a lot in the ranking thanks to the completed Sad: We're probably going to have like maybe three pages of talkback for this masterpiece. Let me just get out of the way that the first three minutes where everything was going in reverse was like a serious mind trip. -What a great finale. Everything was completed and all the relationships were resolved (did anybody else realize that Higuchi had feelings for Hanuki?) I actually let out a "yeah" when Watashi finally broke out of the 4.5 space. My only regret was that we never saw Kohinata. I really would have liked to see Ozu be all good-guy and flustered and all. But that's not really a major issue. All in all, Tatami Galaxy was a wonderful, magnificent experience of an anime. It dragged a little bit in the middle but it all paid off in the end. Yuasa has created another winner. -I gotta admit, I lol'ed hard at the moth storm because I just knew that it would get to Akashi-san at some point. |

Must have been the dialogue overload. |

Just watch it. If you're thinking Watashi transforms into Ozu or that Watashi was Ozu all along, you're wrong. Just watch it. |
| Pretty good ending, although the part where he finally returns the mochiguma as well as the aftermath was a little unsatisfying. Love how the roles between Watashi and Ozu are switched at the end... lol. |
| Haha, sorry about saying "Watashi turn into Ozu" because I promise that's not actually what happens. It was just an easy way of saying it. By the way, for everyone waiting for subs, Funimation subs them ridiculously fast every week (not that there's anymore weeks for it, but you know what I mean). Just go to their site (Funimation.com), click on watch videos, search, and voila! Their subs might not be the best, but they serve the purpose. |

Perhaps because I specifically asked to translate this show and they agreed? do-em indeed. Wait, so are you the translator for Funimation or for a fansub group? If you do it for Funi, sweet mother of God, how the hell do you do it that quickly every week?! I mean, geez, if it were a normal show, I'd be able to comprehend, but this one has the mother of all dialogues. Phew. If you do it for fansubs, I've never seen it, sorry. I appreciate the Goliathan effort to do so, regardless. |
| I was originally thinking that I would give this series an 8. The last episode brought that up to a 9. This episode brought it up to a 10. ZangetsugaTensho said: Pretty good ending, although the part where he finally returns the mochiguma as well as the aftermath was a little unsatisfying. "Nothing else is as boring to tell as a story of successful love." That was good enough for me. =) You're the man, Quarkboy! Thanks! |
 |
| This show started off pretty interesting, but then hit became melancholic in the midde, but boy did it pick up in the end. 9/10 overall because of its originality and ending. |
| The ending was reasonably good. As much as I wanted Ozu to go die or something, having a bleak fortune is almost just as good. I had high hopes for this because of the odd visual sense, but it sort of fell short because of repetitiveness, even if there was a point to it. |

Seeing Watashi turn into Ozu at the end was GREAT; I am so glad I watched this show. and I think this series could have ended with the first episode if it actually wanted, haven't seen any anime like before. Hope there will be comming more soon from these guys =) |

| While the ending was actually good, I didn't like the series overall. I can't pinpoint why as there were no large noticeable flaws, but I simply didn't find it interesting. 4/10 for me. 20th out of 22 for the season. |
Enigmatica said: Kinda similar for me. The third and fourth episode were the only ones I didn't enjoy, since it didn't look like the series was going anywhere, but starting with the Honkawa story, it just kept getting better and better. They tied up all the loose ends really well and Watashi's demonic face was probably the best way to conclude the series. Props to the creators, this show really blew me away in the last episodes.This show started off pretty interesting, but then hit became melancholic in the midde, but boy did it pick up in the end. 9/10 overall because of its originality and ending. I'll probably rewatch it some time soon to look for various clever details. |
| Ah I cant believe I forgot the Funimation site, amazing episode. This ending is hard to describe, but simply put after I felt happy. It did an amazing job of giving closure, happiness, a bit of mystery, some laughs and overall a nice vibe. Still the ending was about as good as any fan could expect. |
physics223 said: It was so beautiful. I cried with the ending. He really picked himself up well. So beautiful. So damn beautiful. Haha, I cried, too! It was such a touching moment when he saw everyone, but then he started running, and all his clothes ripped off, and then he was flying, and I was laughing. So. Hard. It was awesome. |
| Its not so much him becoming another person or vice versa. Youd just have to watch how the episode sets itself up, but it was displayed in an amazing way. If anything what I thought was just a an abstract romance anime, is more a coming of age meets slice of life. |

| Amazing!!! I loved This Ending, Wish i could see their relationship, Still it was fun how everything added up in the end. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| The table has turned around..sigh i wish they showed more of Akashi...8/10 |
 |
| Best anime of the season. The ending was beautiful. 10/10. It left a huge impression on me. This was also my first Masaaki Yuasa anime, so, yeah, it seems like this guy is quite special, and that's an understatement. Needless to say, I'm going to hunt down his other works. @physics223: Nice job on calling the method of his escape. I just read your article a few minutes ago. =) And a big thanks to Quarkboy for a wonderful translation. |
| Wonderful series. I'm definitely going to re-watch it. The ending was so satisfying :) 9/10 SkyFade said: Exactly!It did an amazing job of giving closure, happiness, a bit of mystery, some laughs and overall a nice vibe. Still the ending was about as good as any fan could expect. |

I think the Ending was great. 9/10. I'd give it a 10 but it still lacked a teensy bit of romance for Akashi and watashi XD |
| Definitely enjoyed this series, it gets a 6/10 for me. It may go up to 7 when I let things settle in my mind for a bit and/or rewatch the series so I can pick up all the subtle stuff. Also loved the part where Watashi echoes Ozu's words at the end, haha. Edit: I succumbed. Bumped it up to 7/10. |

ionphantom said: I thought this was interesting.  Yeah o.o That means she was the one responsible for the time-rewinds? ;) Hai, 8000 yen! Whaaaa, that was just mffff x3 I started crying at one point, just from the sheer awesome of the breakout/saving Ozu scene. The moths were all the moths from all the 4.5 tatami rooms that flew out, right? And, heh, of course it was ultimately Akashi (through her Mochiguma) that made it possible for Watashi to escape the MADNESS tatami 'galaxy'. I re-watched the 'icky love' scene at least 7 times, that's how epic Watashi turning to Ozu was xD Anyway, best show this season. I feel like Summer will be crap because of how good Spring was with the likes of this and Five Leaves, Arakawa and still on-going Drrr& FMA:B, to name the few. |

| After watching the ending, I guess this is the most underrated Anime for the season. ^^ 9/10 I guess the first episode sure makes alot people loose their interest in the first place... |
| BEAUTIFUL visuals! To me, it's the best aspect of the entire show. And amazing voice-acting. Especially for 'Watashi', Christ Almighty. Sad that it's over. The whole episode was worth watching just for the flustered Ozu; so cute! x3 Each episode makes me crave ramen. Shame I can't eat it D= |

physics223 said: @blud_d Priorities, indeed. Anime is what helps anchor me in medical school. Thank you for reading my article. To the others who have read my article, thank you as well. Thanks a lot. (Please leave comments if you guys can!) :) I've been reading every week :D Jeez, I think from now on, Yuasa should do more anime. Pretty much every thing he does is genius. |
