| Wow…. what an amazing ending to an absolutely masterful show. Such a complex, emotional, and heart felt story. One of the greatest anime I have ever had the pleasure of watching. |
| Since I didn't understand anything at first, when the girl from the other world and the robot were having their conversation and it turns out that the girl is Ushio and the robot is Tomoya, I cried, but I cried too much, since I didn't know what was happening, I thought I had finally completely passed away. But once the episode ended, I saw the comments on the site where I watch the anime and they explained it very well. So I can say that it's a beautiful ending, although since I didn't understand it at first it made me dumb at first. But I'm really happy with the outcome |
 |
| I'm having an emotional internal breakdown after watching this episode,this anime is beyond masterpiece. Also Akio and sanae best character. 10/10 |
| I understood nothing Out of nowhere did the episode go back in time as if nothing bad had happened? I confess that it was kind of anticlimactic, it disappointed me Fuuko didn't help either. Well, a pity, it lost points with me and now I would give it a 6. Even reading some comments, I still don't understand the meaning of all this. --------------------- Não entendi nada Do nada o episódio voltou no tempo como se nada de ruim tivesse acontecido? Confesso que foi meio anticlimático, isso me decepcionou A Fuuko também não ajudou Bem, uma pena, perdeu pontos comigo e agora daria uma nota 6. Mesmo lendo alguns comentários, ainda não entendi o sentido de tudo isso. |

| Although this season's episodes keep getting me surprised. This one is extraordinary, like all of the plot twists happened very fast and it's quite hard to comprehend. The theory that Kotomi Ichinose devised is proven by Ushio being in the 'lonely world' and that every action has different outcomes. Still can't believe that Ushio died and got resurrected by going back in time (?) Nagisa being alive again is great but it's much of a sudden, KyoAni should've made the last 2 episodes by giving how their life will be, not by just giving a few scenes in the same episode. It's a bit sad that we didn't get much of Tomoyo, I wonder where is she now based on the OP and a glimpse of everyone's life. This episode blew my mind, no not literally. 9/10 for making this episode difficult to understand, could've been 10 but nah. |
| Seems kind of odd this is technically the ending, but they have 2 more episodes. Would have been better if they explained it as I did look up an explanation, which makes more sense in the VN. Overall though it was a unexpectedly happy ending. I think the show holds up very well compared to Haruhi due to having a more grounded and engaging story, which are timeless. The art is a bit jarring and probably aged this worst, though this is only something that standouts initially. Definitely a pioneer for its time that inspired many other writers. I will remember it fondly. |

| -I know Nagisa's revival can be explained but it would've been better if they had continued with only Tomoya raising Ushio -Ngl the other world plot was kinda trash, was repetitive as hell even Nagisa's illness was streched out All in all I enjoyed the show but the ending was a bit disappointing, still a 8/10 |
 |
| This show had many flaws but episodes 9 through 21 are absolutely genius. They took the 'happily ever after' ending of the average SoL and turned it upside down. Didn't like the ending though, too forced. Zoopiez said: Seems kind of odd this is technically the ending, but they have 2 more episodes.

I will remember it fondly. I wonder how it would be like if we got an Haruhi 'After Story' with older Kyon... I don't think it would work though, as the story goes he'll forever be a freshman in the SOS Brigade... |

| WHAT........WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED???? Let's see if I understood.....the girl from the other world and the robot is a metaphor for ushio and tomoya and she knows his dimensional counterparts, so the girl was like "dreaming" everything from chapter 16 onwards and actually nagisa didn't died and tomoya had a happy family??? Or was Ushio able to go back in time or create an alternate timeline with those blue-white lights? man this is so confusing... I liked the final but the confusion was stronger than my feelings about the final so i'm here, thinking of all of this weird things man wtf i'm still shocked -_- |

Fuck lol i must be blind.
Great episode though it does bother me they got another episode after this. Its a fairly nice "ending" to the series. Unification of all the lights to grant Tomoya a wish to save Nagisa :D. Also I loved the montage of ushio growing up and the progress of all the former main characters and sub-characters.
I have to say that this episode had like 0 realism winding back time to save Nagisa, but I still loved it nonetheless. (I mean it's even less believable than the ending of Kanon 2006 lol).
A rating for the season: 8.5/10. The second half of the season saved me from dropping it all together since the plot was sorta sluggish. But I say it was well worth it to watch it all
9/10 for the entire series. Good but I thought Kanon 2006 was better

| @KY791 I'm replying to this 14 years too late LMAO, but it's kinda the point that the episode had "0 realism". Throughout the entire series you have characters who posses super-human strength and agility, not to mention Kotomi's parents' research, which is related to the constant side-story of the girl and the robot, ghost characters, and mysterious lights that appear out of nowhere. If anything, the alternate universe ending in this episode just gives a better explanation to all the previous things lol |
| Pretend there's something flashy and cool here. |
| It was very wholesome end, after the sad events that happend in the episode before. Although I must say it was also a bit confusing. Took me a few minutes to actually understand what happend xD |
Spiele_maus - Vocaloid, Anime & Manga Otaku Hatsune Miku is my life! <3 |
| Beautiful episode was wonderful, I almost cried. Finally a happy episode, now Tomoya can be happy in his life. I'll be curious about this final scene forever. |
 |
| Episode 22 definitely saved my tearducts from further crying. It was truly tragic seeing Tomoya lose both his wife, and then his daughter a few years down the line. Seeing Ushio do her best to walk in the snow was heartbreaking. When she said "Is it night already, it's getting dark" I thought to myself: Why I am here, just to suffer. |
| Kinda bullshit but at least there was some setup and I can actually sleep at night without ruminating on it. In terms of a critical review, though, the masochist ending would have elevated it. episodes 16-21 felt like a psyop to make me bawl my eyes out. especially 17-21 since after cute moe’s death the sadness didn’t feel especially manipulative. |
