Terrible ending. Too many unanswered questions. When I saw the ending, I thought either Yuuri committed suicide and met her early, or it shows him dead, meeting up with her again near the river styx. Got to admit though it isn’t really a river though that we saw, but a flooded city.

I gave the Anime a 6 Anime News Network in the end for being different. but I enjoyed 5-tier anime better than this one. The story was just boring, due to how poorly the episode spacing/story telling was. A lot of the characters didn’t get as much up time as they should have, etc.
It thought that it was funny how the series had ecchi cliche hints, but didn’t truly show ecchi on the series. Any ecchi was very mild.

So basically, they wed togheter, then she goes to lets say heaven. Then a few years later a dam breaks and everybody dies there and then mashiro and yuuri are togheter in the future. Please reply to this and explain the end clearly cuz I really hated the end that they weren’t to live a human live togheter at first but if it’s something like I said above then my anger will rest cuz then I think the ending isn’t bad. So please explain what happened at the end starting at the wedding. thank you whoever replies.
[I hoped that he would live togheter with mashiro and amari, and btw tell me what happens to the non protagonists like amira and yumina, mifuyja and san etc.]

I have to agree with X. I think it was longer than 10-20 years. I think he some how became like a deity. HE did not age a day from what we can see plus not only was the city flood but the highway was in disarray. Meaning humans had long since moved on. Plus he was talking like it would take 100s of years.

After seeing your explination of the ending, I now feel that it was a good ending (if you ignore all the humans being dead and Yuuri seeing his friends die 1 after the other) and it works for me.

Yea, that was one hell of a pot of gold at the end. Mashiro’s speech got to me a little too. What surprised me the most was that Ouryuu just became the family dog. I swear, I thought he had more pride than that. I’m still not sure whether those other episodes were worth it for this one episode. I will say I had nothing else to do and we’ll just leave it at that.

@Animeswordmaster:

1.Yes that is Yuuri who met with Mashiro in the future, not his descendant. Yuuri himself became immortal by taking a part of Mashiro’s celestial energy with him, thus making him a part human and part Tayutai. Since if Yuuri himself just died then we would all be back to square one, seeing as Yachimata did love Kikurami, but in the end they couldnt be together. So Kikurami’s incarnation is Mashiro and Yachimata Kageharu’s descendant/reincarnation is Yuuri (since Yuuri directly inherited Yachimata’s powers and developed it even further).

So it was a good set up for romance, seeing as ancient love was reborn and carried on with Mashiro and Yuuri. It would be stupid if it concludes the same way as their predecessors did, meaning they had to separate and never got back together. Yuuri didnt want this, thus in the anime, at first Yuuri was consoling Mashiro by saying that they will meet in the after life soon since a human’s life is short, still that kind of promise bears great uncertainty and isn’t within their control. Thus in both the anime and game ending (at least in Mashiro’s ending), Yuuri decided to meet with Mashiro after she awakens by becoming immortal himself, that way it wouldn’t be a problem for him to wait no matter how long. Remember that good ending dialogue he said in the last minutes of the last episode? That a hundred years and even a thousand years was fine for him, to wait for her, kinda like a reverse of what happened in Yachimata Kageharu and Kikurami, where Kikurami was always the one waiting, this time in this case, Yuuri is the one waiting for Mashiro.

2. If you would ask if it happened in the game, then no i dont think they got together. In the anime, there is a possibility seeing as San did care about Ameri’s well-being when Yuuri was ignoring her. Though I understand what you mean, I am not really supporter of Ameri x Yuuri, the game path was really plain between the two. It’s Mashiro X Yuuri OR Mifuyu X Yuuri all the way! Those two’s routes are pure Awesome!!!

3. This is probably the most unexpected part of the anime, seeing as they stuck with a game ending. There are almost no difference in the game ending and anime ending, it was explained better in the game and in depth, thats all.

Ok, so I liked the ending, but I wish that more information was presented. Overall, the series was pretty good IMO (I’m a sucker for epilogue-style endings).

I have a few questions if anyone can answer them:

1. After reading the previous comments, it’s safe to assume that it’s Yuuri or his descendant in the last segment right?

2. I assume Ameri and San-chan got together? They showed that scene when she was “playing” the guitar on a broom to San-chan’s guitar, so this kind makes me a little sad since I was an Ameri x Yuuri supporter the whole time.

3. Can anyone explain the difference between the game ending and anime ending? I don’t have the resources to play the game unfortunately.

Yeah I agreed they never explain that flashback and I’m sure that has something important to do with why Yuuri feelt some grudge against Ameri

Arg the ending left some things unanwsered! I never played the game so I lack information, but what was the deal where Ameri was ignoring Yuuri? It was shown as a flashback of Yuuri during one episode (can’t remember which one).

I’ve been looking everywhere for an anwser :[

After watching with subs it’s a bit more clear that Yuuri and Mashiro are partnered for eternity. At least for the anime version. It’s implied that Yuuri will be reincarnated enough times to be with Mashiro during her next awakening. The flood scene made it clear that a significant time went by and they are reunited.

It seems like this plot is a bit different than the game version. As Solaris mentioned, Miyufu & Nue didn’t play enough of a role in the anime to be considered heroines. Too bad since Miyufu is a nice character.

It’s a shame the show suffered from pacing issues & production budget problems. It could have been a pretty good series.
