| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- wow that was an awesome ending. they didn't say much but that girl was probably not human. it felt a bit rushed but that is what you get for a 12 episode show. i really liked this one a lot. |
InoriJinsei said: I really didn't understand what happened at the end. Did Karada and Shouko change into their previous ages? Kotoko put that wishing stone in Shouko's pocket when she hugged her, and they didn't show it but it's pretty obvious that Shouko and that little girl (whatever her name was) wished themselves back to normal. I didn't see it as Kotoko being not-human, it sounded like her dad just knew a lot about mysterious and supernatural things. The old dude that owned the inn kinda hinted towards that a few times, as well as the part where Kotoko says "it's just like dad said" or something like that. |

| Banzai for happy endings. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I liked this anime alooooot, it's one of my favorites I think.... Well the ending wasn't really great, they kinda rushed it but still.. I'm glad that they turned back to normal. |
| I'll say it again--why does this have such a low rating? |

| Pretty mediocre anime in my opinion. I found Freaky Friday of all things more entertaining. The character designs were weak, the music was great, the plotline made no sense, the characters were all one sided, etc. |
| Surprisingly good anime. The 1st episode didn't leave a good impression on me but subsequent episodes did a good job of explaining past events. The only flaw with Asatte no Houkou is that they didn't show too much of Shokou's situation while she was in her child form. It would've been interesting to see her try to make up for her disappointing childhood by doing things she never did at that age. |
| Really happy that this had a happy ending. I was afraid it might end with a clannad-esque feel after all that had happened. Was really frustrated with Karade for the last few episodes, but it all worked out. Glad I gave this anime a chance, really enjoyed it after all was said and done. |
| Glad they turned back to normal because I'd have felt even more NTR'ed for the brother if she stayed in that form while hooking up with Amino. I would have preferred an imouto ending in this case. Just my opinion. Characters were weak. The brother is suppose to be a main character yet he's very enigmatic throughout the series. Who lets a 12 year old spend the night alone in the city? That's just asking for a bad ending to happen. Guess I'll go play an eroge and make the right choices. |
 |
| Pretty decent ending for this gem of a series. While slow-pacing, the show was never boring. The male characters were OK and definitely could've been stronger (Hiro) and less annoying (Amino). But I thought both Karade and Shokou were well developed characters. The friendship that grew out of their predicament was one of the highlights of the series for me. Definitely an under the radar title that I hope more people will give a chance. |
 |
| I should really stop judging anime by the rating and picture because I thought this show was going to be mediocre. This series was great but not enough Shokou! |
| The ending suits the series. |
codes said: aphton said: It was a great anime but I kinda found Amino unsympathetic because of the spoiler in the character-description (HERE) - which also led me into disliking his pushing and childish personality. 8-9 (9) /10 Best regards I feel the same , everytime Amino appear , I was like , "o_ó!!!!!!!!" great Show, really, I Love it 9/10 haha thanx good i didn't see that till now....but it just doesn't sound like amino >< ..plus isn't he just 12 o.O... i also think Kotoko isn't human....sepcially when she said "it's like dad said" i wonder what did he tell her... when Hiiro hold little Shukos hand it was so sweet X3... it's was a good show and very nice ending.... |
| omfg first episode where you can see Hiro Iokawa's eyes 100% of the time instead of being hidden by his hair. probably because Shouko opened his eyes; thus Hiro stopped running away. |
 Damn the series is over. Second confession goes through :) and here I thought it had to be third time's a charm. Shouko's actually kinda cute this episode with her tsundere like manners. Too bad though, she's not usually that cute. Oh well. I wonder if they do change back though given that ending scene as the wishing stone seems to be dusted away.. Overall, I thought this series was so-so. I'm usually not a fan of these type of slice of life genre series but I thought the supernatural elements added in with the emotional part worked somewhat well. It was predictable though with the little inklings of romance. This series really reminded me of Air also somewhat. 6/10 |
 |
| 1. Didn't like how the 2nd half of the series focuses away from the main trio 2. Well, that was a fast ending… using the stone to revert back while skipping the scenes in between 3. They should've showed more of shouko & her worries 7/10 overall |

| It's always nice to stumble across a show that depicts a fantastical premise with realism and maturity. I loved Asatte no Houkou's serious take on body swapping as well as the solemn mood that permeated the show, which was enhanced by the gorgeous OST as well as the ambient sounds. The pacing was very deliberate (just how I like it), which allowed each scene to shine and ensured that no moment was wasted. There were also some great character interactions and development throughout the series, and it was interesting to see how the two main female characters each dealt with their dilemma. Some people are saying they wished for more Shouko screen time, but she obviously handled her situation far better than Karada did, so I thought the show's focus on Karada and her troubles was appropriate. If the show had concentrated primarily on Shouko, I think it would have been less interesting overall. At any rate, it's not like she was overlooked; she still had a respectable amount of screen time. I do agree that this final episode was rushed, though I guess it could be argued that the skipped scenes didn't need to be shown and was more of a stylistic choice. Either way, this didn't hurt the show much imo. It was more about the journey after all. Did I mention that the OST is gorgeous? I never once skipped the OP or ED, and there was one track I really liked that was reminiscent of Rurouni Kenshin's "Departure." |

| A cute tale of misunderstandings, discovery, and love. I originally started watching this anime to just past the time but found it very enjoyable and sweet. At first, I was a bit thrown off by Amino's attraction to Karada because I was having a hard time believing he was a 6th grader like her. I kept seeing him as a teenager. I'm glad Hiro redeemed himself; to be honest, I really wasn't feeling him until the backstory. Shouko learned a lot about herself and these two should now have a better relationship. Overall, a very pure series about first love and one rekindling. |
| It was fine, even tho pretty dull at times and I wasn't really into the characters. A shame. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Pretty good anime all around, plot was interesting, character designs were good (I especially liked Shoko's child hairstyle, it was very unique), ending was nice. Kinda lost interest around the time where Karada/Sato ran away from home. While I get the importance for the plot and character development, I wasn't as much a fan of it compared to the first half of the anime. Wasn't a huge fan of Hiro either, but the ending helped make him more likable. |
| Medetashi.. Medetashi.. All ends well.. Kids love each other, and Adult love each other.. No more siscon or lolicon drama.. They use the stone and everything back to normal.. After all of those absurd drama.. I will gladly give this anime 9/10, but i think 8/10 is just enough 👏 Not nominated for rewatching anyways, so yeah.. 8 is enough.. |
