| I don't even care anymore. |
 |
| Wtf just happened? |
| I don't know if it is a dream or not, but my personal impression is that in the light of what Kouko said in the episode 17: she wants to push him to figure out who he is on his own and she doesn't want to hold him back if he chooses not to be with her. She probably thinks that him giving her the ring is not the whole Banri, because the conflict with his old self isn't figured out yet. Of course, this is a speculation on my part, but in light of her speech from the ep 17. it sounds like one plausible explanation. |

| that ending wow but the preview sorta ruins it... everyone looks happy. |

Of course, this is a speculation on my part, but in light of her speech from the ep 17. it sounds like one plausible explanation. It's a very good explanation. We know Koko loves Banri, so she didn't leave him. So you may be right she might be pushing him. Though the interesting things is, Koko seems to be apart of his being regardless if it is his old self or current self. It's also possible that could have been a dream sequence, something about the exchange seemed off. Given Koko said she would stay by his side earlier in the episode, it would make little sense for her to end the episode by saying she was leaving him. Nice cliff hanger. |
QuasWexExort said: This is one of my favorite and i swear to god, if the ending sucks(Banri-Linda or Banri Single), I quit watching anime How the fuck can you say Banri x Linda's relationship is bad? It was originally their relationship to caught off as the series began. Even I find Linda is quite bitch to letting Koko have Banri. Well it can't be helped since Banri is suck as being a person as well. More manlytears to come.. |
| ...did KoKo really do that? I mean come on that's like a slap in the face to the entire fan base of the series. There's no way this will hold up. In other news, it was hard for me to feel sad for Chinami when I keep saying in my head. Yes it was your fault. This episode was kind of a drag. |

Well it can't be helped since Banri is suck as being a person as well. More manlytears to come.. Repeat after me BANRI AND LINDA WERE NEVER IN A RELATIONSHIP. They were just friends. Linda has repeated that ad nauseum. Just let it go. So yes it would be a crap ending if Banri ended with Linda - who has shown no interest what so ever in having any kind of romantic relationship with Banri. Now, if Linda was shown to be rival, that would be a different story. But all she has been is a big sister to Banri. Nothing more. |
| Gawdayum them feels! The beef party all ruined by the memory return. I think Banri's getting a bit paranoid here. Every single time he suffers a relaps it's always been Koko's name that has pulled him through, every single time. Given how she's always said that she'd be there for him, I highly doubt that she would just reject him the way she did at the end of the show without any reason. Whilst I'm not too sure that the end of this episode was a dream sequence as some have mentioned, I do believe that if she had said those words for real, that Koko had a reason behind it. I love the way they marketed this show to coincide with the last novel. If the novels had been translated to English I would have bought the entire series already! Can't wait to see what happens next, as always. Bring on next week! |

| WHAT THE FUUUJFNEDIRGNEFOGNJRWGNRG And then the previews immediately diffused the tension. -___- |
| Characters in anime always LIE when they hide their eyes. Although it seemed to be obvious, i believe that Koko lied. |
 |
| I just. I dunno. I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens. I'm a huge Koko fan and if she doesn't end up with Banri after the series basically shipping them for most of it's episodes, I'm done watching anime in general. I only keep watching this because Koko is awesome and Banri was a real man for two seconds when he decided to be with her. Sadly, after that, it all went down hill with the amnesia BS. Guess they gotta fill 24 episodes with -something-, right? Romance anime seems to be afraid to give a good ending, and one of the few exceptions to that was ToraDora, which came from the same creator as Golden Time, so I'm still hopeful. Sadly however, the industry as a whole seems to favor endings where the MC either chooses no one, or they go for a "bad end" where the MC gets their heart broken, or one of the mates doesn't survive for some reason, etc. I'd provide examples, but I don't really want to spoil other series here. All I can say is that I'm really tired of being let down and I wish that I could just get a simple ending where a couple can overcome their little drama BS and stay together with a happy ending. There's enough depressing things out there in modern media, including anime, there's no need to monopolize it into "romcoms" too. On another note, I'm -really- tired of writers resorting to amnesia, time travel, or parallel universes to try to put together a story. I have NEVER seen it work to any reasonable extent. Even the simple "Oh we were friends when we were kids but I forgot you" stuff is getting old and never works. Writers please; just quit it and tell a straight-up story, or give up writing. EDIT: So I just watched the ending again. I think she's probably going to another college... in Paris! XD Banri better follow her... |

| wtf just happened |
| 2d-kun best support char. Well, it's Toradora all over again.. |
| Just when I was starting to like Kouko, she pulls this. 2D-kun still the best char! |
| Hahahahahahaha, oh wow, was I supposed to feel something at the end? |

| plot twist: at the end he wakes up from coma and everything that happened since the start was just a dream... |
 someone else always have what you want, but it usually means nothing to them... |
| TADA BANRI 5layer said: I don't even care anymore. |
| Well, just as I was thinking that episode was quite good...BAM! Unnecessary Koko-drama. I don't even care what grand reason they might concoct for it. |

  |
| God. This show is awful. |
| Episode itself was ''ok'', but I kinda started to giggle at the end... Also, i cant believe people think this is for real. |

| Shocked by the ending. I don't believe Koko meant what she said at the end though. |
 |
| What.The.FUCK. |
Matthz said: What.The.FUCK. +1 Koko pulls this shit, WTF!!!? Mitsu and 2D-kun true bros!!!! |
 |
| Funny ending |
| I apologize to Oka thinking she was a bitch. And past Banri appearing again was awesome! Kinda interesting that Koko's name turns himself back to normal. And did she really just dump him at the end of the episode? I wonder if he'll ever come back after that when his past self comes out. If her dumping Banri is real... then that means all that time they were together was an act.. damn. But why? I can't really see it as making Mitsuo jealous because would she of waited that long for a reaction from him when he never gave one from all that time that they've dated? |

| This anime was supposed to be a Masterpiece..... That fucking episode ruined it.. Banri should try to text everyone that contains something like "Goodbye Everyone... It was nice knowing you all but I can't take this pain anymore.. So Bye! :)". <=====In short.. I want him to try and commit suicide and all of his friends will try and stop him. And then, Koko comes and confesses her real feelings for Banri. Then, the two makes up and they lived happily ever after... BTW I see people saying that he should go back to Linda... "Past is past.. What matters is the present".. Don't hate me. This is only my opinion.. |
| LOL |
| I suppose I don't really understand Koko's motivations here. I mean, she could legitimately no longer have interest in a relationship with Banri - but that seems incredibly unlikely. It seems much more plausible that this is some sort of gambit to try and make Banri stronger... but that guy has the mental toughness of tissue paper. Is it really the best idea to just throw him in the metaphorical deep end and say "sink or swim"? Well, I am sure we will see how this all plays out in the last couple of episodes; still, regardless of the result, I can't say that I would want Koko as my therapist. |
| Idk if that was just his dream but if its not then whatever. I guess that's the best thing to do if I were in Koko's shoes. I don't even know what is going on in this anime, kinda awful to watch Lol. Anyways, I wonder how things will end. |

| Nice actual drama....until the PV shows them being lovey dovey and smiling in the next episode again. Who comes up with these PVs that spoil everything completely. |
outkastfox said: What...I can't believe Koko said that...:( I can believe that because why can Koko suddenly change her feelings from Mitsuo to Banri? She always hunts Mitsuo since the childhood...and now? In my mind Banri is just a replacement of Koko because Koko didn't get back the love from Mitsuo. |
| i finally caught up with this series and wtf with that ending man i know koko plotting something but damn that must be hurt for banri |
 |
| I was about to write how Koko growed from the first episode to here. But, after watch this ending I have only one word do say: BITCH! Could be a dream? I really don't know, but I cheer to no. I would like to see how the novel author can explain this. Can't wait for the next episode! |

The last 3 episodes will be interesting if nothing else. A great anime which deserves a great ending. Fingers crossed they have done a good job. |

Sorry but I have to quote lyrics from a song and I think it really fits to the ending in this episode: "The hottest love has the coldest end". Though we do not know how it will end yet. |

 you tellin me mangas aint japanese colouring books |
| though is was a little over the top with Nana's slap and all, think the impact and emotions would be better if there were little less crazy screaming |
| This... Wow...What the hell? Now, I wonder.... |
 |
| I think Kokou is planning something to help Banri. However, What Banri really need is to see a real psychologists. He is suffering from Panic attack, Anxiety disorder, Personality Disorder, PTSD, and memory disorder. Professionally, I think he should be in psych ward for his own and other safety until he recover under proper treatment. This manga is going from Romance into struggle with mental illness, remind me of story schizophrenia suffers, which I don't mind much as I studied the subject, but not sure about regular auidence |
