| There was 3 uncessary cliche episodes that only got in the way/ Fast rushed ending, not enough developement between Bianca and Romeo, the forgoten sick girl he called angel who stayed in France needed a fix on this anime script. Rate 6/10 it had the potential to be more but just went over melodramatic and too many cliche for its own good along those characters development i mentioned who had its own flaws. |
| * Nikita wearing a flower on her head like Alfredo wanted her too (OTP <3) * The bosses wife stopped being a hard ass CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT although I kinda wish for a progression on this instead of out of the blue *Anzelmo still is a little shit probably the only unlikable character left remaining along with Alfredo's Aunt and Uncle. *I got the flash forward I wanted and I cried when Bianca and Romeo named their child Alfredo. *I wished for an update on Angeletta, but hey I bet some people here all had a first love and ended up with someone else. So I'm not surprised at all that him and Bianca got married I kinda expected it once Alfredo was going on about how great Romeo was and she was being tsundere about it. xD Amazing series 10/10 I hope for a DVD release in the US even if it is just subbed. |

| Unlike many I'm actually new to the show. But I was invested and deeply moved by it. Great characters, great story, great execution! Proves that as long as the story and characters are well-developed even a show as old as this one without high-quality animation can still get you invested in it. 10/10 |
 |
| And so the time for goodbyes and farewells finally arrives. Peace has finally come to Milan and it seems like most of the characters have changed for the better. It's a shame that Anzelmo remained a brat and my heart sank a bit to see Luini back at selling children. I was hoping he'd have had a change of heart, but I suppose it wasn't going to be that simple. It just goes to show that the world isn't all happy rainbows and magic when the main characters finally find their happiness. For me, it felt like Romeo no Aoi Sora ended back at episode 30. It's not to say that the episodes following it weren't enjoyable, in fact they were satisfying. This felt like a well needed epilogue following the events of the Black Brothers when they stood at 12 strong. Turning their lives into Alfredo's legacy, Romeo and the others stood up once again and moved forward. The timeskip at the end surprised me. I would have liked to have seen more, perhaps the old gang meeting up one more time or Romeo visiting Alfredo's grave. But the message it sent at the end was still heartwarming and I am satisfied with the sense of closure it brought. Well it's been quite an adventure and it seems that it is now my turn to bid farewell to Romeo. After recently finishing another WMT work, Shoujo Cosette, I feel as though this is a solid follow up to the sensation that both have given me. Through the trials and struggles, the ups and downs, Romeo no Aoi Sora was riddled in various character building themes such as brotherhood, education, pursuing one's dreams, freedom, enduring, optimism, and not letting life get the better of you. But above all, I feel as though the main message is that life is going to take unexpected twists and turns. That, rather than resenting the bitter memories, I should look for opportunities that arise each day as a result of persevering. To grow stronger from life's challenges, not to be crushed under them. Thoroughly enjoyable series and children should be watching these kinds of shows more. The ones that make us think and inspire us to improve ourselves. 9/10 Although one part that I found disappointing was how Angeletta got sidelined and never came back. What's more, it seemed like the chemistry between her and Romeo completely diminished and I just wasn't feeling Bianca x Romeo as much. |

| Was hoping to see Angeletta at least once before the series ended. As much as I hated that it ended off like this, any longer would have dragged on. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |

I forgot to mention this in my old post I really wished they could have all had a reunion or at least a narration on how the other members of the brotherhood are doing as well as Nikita, but this ending was still nice imo. The series closed off pretty well still. |

| I think it's fitting that we didn't see Angeletta again. We presume she is living a good life, her part of the story had ended. |
| It saddened me a bit to see Romeo end up with Bianca.. Angeletta was obviously the go-to character to marry, but he ends up with someone who only met him 7-8 episodes ago --' That's like fattening a pig for a whole year just to end up letting it run away... |
 Hisoka said: True love is finding someone whose demons play well with yours. Illumi said: . |
| Some infos about the ending: The anime did some changes to the story of the original novel: Angeletta originally wasn't send to Paris and she always said that she has not much time left, so it's safe to assume that she died. That's why she wasn't mentioned at the end and Romeo choose Bianca. Also in the novel Anzelmo blames Romeo for stealing after Alfredo died. Romeo then has to flee to Switzerland because he can't prove his innocence. He manages to survive because of Dr. Casella, who helps him there, and in the end they even get the authorities of Switzerland to arrest Luini. Altogether it takes him 9 years until he finally returns to his home village & family and in the meantime Anita is an adult and has an own family. |

| Would've loved to see Angeletta and Romeo together, that's my only flaw with the ending. Just far too much development between them that it warranted a good shipping between them, since they both leaned and supported each other through the earlier episodes and admitted their love. If the anime changed so much from the original story, they should've changed that as well. I still really love this show, but I really wish we got more time to develop the relationship instead of just having a timeskip explain it. The timeskip would've made sense only with Angeletta since they had already developed a strong romantic relationship, but whatever. Besides me nitpicking about that, wonderful show. |
| Was anybody else peeved that the story seems to have forgotten all about Angeletta in Paris? I would've liked to have seen what became of her; if she lived or not. When the post story showed Romeo and Bianca married, it gave me the impression that Angeletta died or something because that was the first girl Romeo loved. And I don't mean to be a hater because she was just a child, but I didn't like Bianca too much. I was hoping she and Romeo would remain close friends, but them getting married makes the most sense. Especially naming their child after Alfredo. I can't help but wish it was Angeletta though. Either way, I loved this story. Worked a tear out of me at the very end; especially during the Black Brothers flashback. Seeing Alfredo again killed me... His memory exists in a moment in time they can never go back to. God bless these children. 8/10 |

| Agree that this kind of anime is what children have to see more. That's why it's part of the world's masterpiece series, these stories are made by those who have experienced life and able to convey life lessons instead of anime made by otakus who simply depict an idealized version of how an anime should be. The story has its clichees, combined with old style animation and effects but they never bother me during important moments. On the corner of my heart I'm still sad about Alfredo though his legacy goes on through Romeo and Bianca. Glad I watched this. |
| I really liked this anime. I only wished I could see a bit more about Angeletta, I really wish she was better. I think I might watch this show again someday. 10/10 |

| The only complaint of have with this anime is Angeletta. She had a lot of development and was nowhere to mention in the last episode. At least it has a good ending and it will still be a masterpiece for me. |
| Everything that has a beginning must have an end. Farewells, tears, and goodbyes come along with that. And so is it with Romeo no Aoi Sora. This final episode offers so much feels. The friendships and the bonds that unite the Black Brothers come to an end. A farewell among the members make me sob a little. Such a bittersweet ending for Black Brothers. In the end, the anime still has some remaining question. And that is Angeletta, Romeo's first love. Since the farewell on the station, we never heard about her anymore. I would love to hear about her news even just a little. Following the journey of Romeo and his friends are a great experience. A story that I won't forget for a long time has delivered its truly best piece of work. All in all, I give this anime 9/10 overall and 10/10 for enjoyment. |
 |
| Boy, Anzelmo remained a low life till the very end. That was quite an enjoyable ride with many touching moments and this final episode gave us a beautiful conclusion for this story. It was nice to see that Romeo could fulfill his dream and married Bianca. It's probably the biggest cliche ending there is, but considering that this show is older than me (the novel even older),it probably wasn't as much of a cliche back then. Well, whatever is was nevertheless a little masterpiece. But despite my enthusiasm there were still a few minor things which bothered me. 8/10 Edit:Felt like rewatching it and my opinion didn't change, still a beautiful finale. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This anime was a short lasting blessing that I was allowed to experience. I had initially meant to drop it, because I was a little unsure about the age of it, but boy did I make a good decision picking it up again! This anime was to me personally perfect except the uncertainty regarding Angeletta.. but nothing is perfect I guess. Still 10/10. Would watch again, but I would probably crumble emotionally. |
| Do not let yourself be blinded by fear or anger. Everything is only as it is. |
| So Anzelmo didn't changed his ways in the end. Kinda sad. I hoped that they would give him an episode or two to redeem himself. Would've liked it more than the weird circus episode at the end. But oh well... I must also admit that I didn't really like how the anime completely dropped Angeletta after her departure. I really loved the relationship between Romeo and Angeletta, seeing how both of them were there for each other was genuinely heartwarming. I think the episode where Romeo and his friends secretly helped Angeletta to reach her grandmothers house . Seriously, he anime did a great job developing the relationship between those two, so seeing how the anime completely ignored her in the end was really disappointing. I don't like at all how Romeo married Alfredo's annoying sister in the end, it felt really rushed and there was barely any chemistry between those two. Disappointing ending overall. But other than that, I absolutely loved this anime. I think I never saw any other anime that portrayed friendship and comradeship as beatifully as Romeo no Aoi Sora. The story was great, the soundtrack was beautiful and almost every character was likeable. So glad that I found this gem. |
| I don't mind that Romeo married Bianca because they both are united because Alfredo, but really, sudden disappearance of Angeletta from everyone memories (Romeo in particular) after she went to Paris really disturbing.. It's good that anime changed this part from the novel, but they should also resolve this problem in the story and character background (Romeo was never even once thinking about or remembering Angeletta, he looked like someone that his memories deleted in the last arc) ... |

| my heart has been touched, this is the light. i dont care who he married as long as it wasnt anita |

| Sonic X is basically an isekai |
| Anzelmo became a sour bastard until the end, a very fitting part away gift for him from Romeo. I see Nikita has worn that Flower on her hair to honor Alfredo, it kinda makes me happy for how much she loved him. I'm also glad the wolf pack and the black brothers made alliance in the end. Edda shedding a bit of tears for Romeo actually made me happy for how much she cared for him, even though she never showed him. The time skip also was a nice touch, I'm glad Romeo became a teacher and married Bianca. Although I felt it was a match that was done in honor of Alfredo. I also liked how they depicted the end of slavery , but I also wanted to know what happened to Luini in the timeskip! Overall I loved every bit of this masterpiece anime. But I wish they also did an epilogue on Angeletta, her health and grandma Isabella. I thought her and Romeo loved each other, and would probably get married in the future but I guess not! Also what about Anita, whatever happened to her? Those are the only thing I felt were wrong about the show, but Overall it was a great show. It showed the how weak people can overcome dire situations without losing hope, finding happiness beyond the blue skies. 9/10 |

| Such a good series. Wish I saw it as a kid. Hopefully I'll be able to have a child one day and show it to them. Only disappointing thing for me was not getting closure on Angeletta's story, as well as a few others like Luini. Great series. Hopefully more people will be able to see it in the future. |

| Pretty great series. I just wanted to see if Angeletta was alright |
AdobongSiopao said: I find the show good but I don't consider it as one of the best entries in World Masterpiece. I never liked how it resorts to action and adventure like some sort of shonen anime. As someone who watched a lot of WMT in the past, it felt jarring to see some characters beat each other to solve problems more than few times. Some of its predecessors have this kind of problem too but at least its minimal and the characters involved there faced their consequences. I also dislike how the show forgot to deal with Luini and I never consider the show's ending happy. Sure Romeo fulfilled his best friend's ambition but what about the boys after him who become chimney sweeper slaves? They're more likely dead like what happened to Alfredo. The Black Brothers isn't always sufficient to help them. It's disappointing really. Like anyone here said, I agree that the show should tell what really happened to Angeletta. It was obvious that her leaving the town via train was a blatant way to show that her ending is tragic. Overall, I give it 7/10. As much as I think that the show has some good moments, it's not sufficient that it has some plot holes. lol it's called realism and not forcing a completly happy ending not plot holes |

| Too bad we didnt get to see the other black brothers as adults... What a beautiful anime. 10/10 |
 |
| one of the best friendship anime that i have ever watched with Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin. if you liked this anime, you can try to watch rainbow. And you will probably like it too. 9/10 for me. |

| i waited for the very last episode that anzelmo and romeo became friends. I was expecting a scene that romeo saves anzelmo from one of the worst conditions that anzelmo got and they become friends from that moment. However the current ending was satisfying too. |

| dying with a smile on your face is probably the most wanted thing for your death. Alfredo knew that his best friend will help each one of his beloved friends and family members T_T |
| A truly heartwarming story, it was a fantastic journey with Romeo, Alfredo, Dante, Michaelo and the Black Brothers and the many kind people they encountered in their time in Milan. A beautiful message of hope and friendship, to always aspire to be a better version of yourself, to build a better future and spread kindness to the people around you, to chase your dreams and how important it is to study. And most of all, that true friends never truly part ways. Personally, I don't love the fast forward at the end, but it wasn't a problem in and of itself. The real issue for me was not even mentioning Angeletta once after she left. If you don't wanna have another death for Romeo to deal with besides Alfredo's, just have Isabella say she has been doing well or something like that, to clear the air. Having Romeo suffer from amnesia and not mention her once was really bad to me, specially when remembering how he learned to read, saying it was Professor Cassela who taught him... it was mostly Angeletta man. I don't mind him marrying Bianca, it was a bit too much, but the little Alfredo Jr. was cute so I concede. Like, Angeletta was a really big part of the whole story and the person who helped Romeo the most in Alfredo's absence, not to mention the whole teaching him how to read thing and their genuine bond and relationship.  (the screenshot is from Episode 24, as the Bianca arc starts) I'll do the creators a favor and pretend Angeletta was mentioned and said to be doing well closer to the end of the series lol. Still, that's one point or two down from what would have been a clean 10/10. |
