| Since the moment i heard that every Giftia have a certain time to live, i knew this was going to happen.. The anime gave me time to prepair myself for the goodbye,but i still cried a lot. This last episode was painful to watch from the beggining to the end. 8/10 |

| Yes we all knew that this was the ending, but they delivered a very sad and romantic ending, which many fail to do, so for me this was a 8/10. |
| Like robots? Then watch getter robot :D |
| Well this was a good-ish show. I pretty much knew how this was going to end since ep 1 due to the excessive foreshadowing(like seriously that was too much) plus they confirmed it around ep 3 iirc so I just couldn't care less for Isla. The first half of the show, I felt, was weak. The first half focused more on the retrieval of giftias and the problems that brings and I just couldn't connect with the feels. The atempts at making me feel feels felt cheap and it may sound like it's a stupid thing to dislike the show for but it really ruined the show for me in the first half. Most of the retrievals had children involved in someway weather they were giftias themselves or just related to those giftias and children + sad stuff = a feel fest(for me atleast) but I just couldn't feel anything and I'm a guy who's really weak to feels(ffs animes like Pokemon, Zatch Bell and even fucking Naruto made me cry). Plus the constant foreshadowing was just killing me. Thankfully the second half improves the anime for me a lot. It focused more on the realtionships of the people working at the gifita retrieval company, specifically the relationship between Isla and Tsukasa and that just felt better for me. They weren't constantly trying to get feels out of us and were more concentrating on other stuff. Plus the second half just made me smile a lot from the silly situations Tsukasa would find himself in. The way this anime was going to end was basically confirmed in the second half so the ending felt weak. I think that if they didn't "spoil" the ending with the massive amounts of foreshadowing I would have liked this anime much more, maybe I could have actually cared for Isla. Overall this wasn't a bad show. The art, animation and music were nice as well. 7/10 |

| most boring/awkward couple ever show went down the shitter when they started to focus mainly on romance 5/10 |

| i was hoping for an epilogue where tsukasa gets together with michiru. whatever |
 |
| Knew it was coming and still managed to make the waters flow. 8/10 |
| There are few episodes from this series which I loved, there were few I really liked and few which weren't interesting. This anime had lot of potential, but in some points of series they lost it. Michiru in some points really pissed me off, Isla behavior also sometimes became annoying... But that few episodes really got me! Oh, these feelings... Really, animes like this one really breaks my heart... ;( |
    |
| I cried like a little baby TT____TT At least, she lived her life at fullest, thanks for this beautiful memories. I wonder was that Isla that Tsukasa handshakes with at the end? |

Aazhy said: I hate when they do this... Just showing the hand of his new partner -_-, just put a fckin' face on it even if it's not Isla... It's probably 'Isla'. This show had a good start & then it turned into a romance, the couple wasn't even interesting (very awkward one). 4/10 for the good OP/ED & Marcia arc. |
 |
| The feels... I had low expectations at first but after getting to the end it was well worth it. |
| Average ending. Liked it. Wanted Michiru pairing. Probably one of the few people with the same opinion. Was disappointed. Series had inconsistencies but is enjoyable nonetheless. 7/10 |
 |
| Well, I won't say it wasn't expected, but I did still shed a tear whilst watching this episode. The ending was perfect. The way they tied everything together with the amusement park and the Ferris wheel was so good. Tsuskasa trying to be strong but breaking down afterwards made me cry even more :( 10/10 great anime. |
| Pretty bad ending honestly. 6/10 series, romance was pretty bad. That wasn't Isla at the end either. |

Yes keep shielding yourself from the reality that not everyone views/accepts the same piece of media the in the same way. Must be nice to wear those rose-tinted glasses all the time. I already know not everyone views media the same way, it's so painfully obvious I don't know how anyone wouldn't know that. That doesn't stop me however from disagreeing with certain opinions, which is something everyone does. |
| Did anyone survive the ferris wheel of tears.... #Wrecked |
Aleskar said: Smudy said: Don't tell me that this was Isla at the end? Probably not cause Tsukasa would have reacted differently to that. Of course its her i highly doubt they would be inhumane enough to put a resurrected Isla in the same office!! |

|
| Oh the feels... We already knew everything... Damn, this was a good show. Really love it. 10/10. |
 |
| Wished they focused more on their relationship more earlier but other than that an average emotional roller coaster. 8/10 Still pretty enjoyable although sometimes the comedy felt forced. Should stick to the drama aspect. |
| I was crying so much, that was just amazing. Fucking heartless people I'm seeing that say they found it dumb [SIZE=350]8.5/10[/SIZE] |

| Wow. There was no bullshit deus ex machina? I'm surprised...and honestly, impressed. Sad stuff, but props to them for going all the way. Overall, this series didn't live up to my expectations. I had high expectations after the 1st episode, but instead of focusing on the connection between the Giftias and their owners, it was mostly hijinks, cheap comedy, and a tragic love story. It didn't help that the writing just wasn't there; the lifespan of the Giftias, for example, was flawed and was simply there to create drama. Mostly a disappointment, but hey, I have to admit it was a cute show sometimes. I just wanted a better sci-fi anime from Plastic Memories, and I didn't get it. |
| Idk what everyone is complaining about "awkward relationship". It seems like a lot of you have some misconceptions from too much anime. This was more like a relationship than what is in a lot of the anime. Also, his reaction to meeting Isla is normal. First of all we know he is good at putting on a fake smile. Second, it has been 9 months. He surely expected that to happen. The anime overall wasn't perfect. It comes down to enjoyability. I did enjoy it quite a bit, it was a nice change from some of the other anime Ive been watching. Although at times the romance was a bit difficult for me to take. I definitely wouldn't be able to handle this shit in real life. I say its a 7/10 |
| This show destroyed me. I'm happy and sad that they didn't do a cop out and she lives somehow. And is that suppose to be Isla at the end there? Overall I really liked this show, even if the feels felt a little forced at times. 8/10 |
 |
| So many feels. I wonder who the new partner is. |
| this anime is an example of what happens when you drive a show's scenario over the plot, plot points, and world building. for a casual drama anime watcher, you will enjoy it because it can be sad at some points, but it's so riddled with no world building, no explanations for technology and etc. that it makes the show fall apart. this show if it was 24 episodes could have been structured more better, but this isn't a manga adaptation, this is plastic memories. any thought of it being better is the thought of it being an entirely different show. they had a action moment in the anime thinking it went the route of psycho-pass, only for it to go nowhere near a action-filled climax. instead, pass episode 6 it became a full-blown slice of life. the biggest overall problem with the show is that it didn't know what to be, they rushed it without a second thought on how to build a proper world, how to explain what's happening, or explain the flaws it has overall(as people were thinking it would go the route of psycho-pass) it was a complete waste of time. 1/10 i do not recommend to anyone. |

| I'm just so glad I watched this anime. This episode destroyed me in feels. My 3rd favorite anime of spring 2015. Hope Summer lineup can do as good !!! |
|
| Meh!! |
| Well this ending was expected since the beginning, but it was still emotional. It was nice to see them having fun during their final moments together. I have a feeling Tsukasa's new partner was Isla with a new memory....... |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |

|
| Everyone knew it would end this way, but its still a tough pill to swallow T-T I wonder if Tsukasa and Isla ever had sex, also Tsukasa has the ugliest crying face I thought this anime was pretty good and at least their love lasted all the way to the end 10/10 |

| Good anime really liked the final episode. That last scene was obviously to let us viewers "guess" whether or not it was Isla. I honestly do not think that it was Isla, even after 9 months you still have feelings for the person you once loved so much. Looking at his facial expression this does not seem to be Isla and the story writer is trying to troll us by not showing the face of his partner. Overall I enjoyed this anime but I don't think it deserves an 8 though. 7/10 |

| Sad ending but predictable. The kiss scene could have been better. Overall 8/10 |
 |
| Man, I had tears rolling down my eyes at the end of this episode. That doesn't happen too often with animes, which really says a lot for this series (at least for me personally). 9.5/10. |
| Good Anime. Liquids were flowing in my eyes. It just that, the anime didn't give us more time to get attached at the character more.. Like for Isla. if they give us more time to know Isla better, get attached, and like her more, i think this final episode will be more destructive for kokoro. I even think that the scene where Nina was retrieved is more sad than this. I don't know. But, overall a good show. 7/10 for me. |
| wish there was more time spent on character development throughout the show, the ending wasn't a tearjerker as I had expected it to be. if they were planning on showing both perspectives on _losing a loved one_ then good job to them. only redeemable trait about this show is Isla. |
 |
| People only truly die when they are forgotten. |
| Winners Don't Make Excuses |
| Hmm, it's good they didn't bring some unnatural deus ex machina and let Isla die peacefully. On the other hand, there was almost nothing memorable in this series, like it was without substance. As I said before, if they dated each other from a start there would be a lot better impact right now. I really can't say I felt something now. I dunno, one has to watch Mahoromatic or KimiUso to get better feels. Still, there were times when even this show was kinda nice. And I really appreciate they didn't take the easy way out. 5/10 Watch once and forget. |
| Man, even after i braced myself the entire season i still cried a little. That was a really good ending. I was pretty close to give a 9 but ... there was some times that was less good than others. Anyway, overall it was very good! 8/10. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Well I know that I was prepared for that ending ... I knew it when I click on that episode ... But still ! The feels were pretty strong / They were super short (like 4-5 minutes of feels) but still ... so strong. I cried like a small baby. Anyway I don't really know what to say about that show ... overall it was enjoyable ? But I still believe that it has a huge potential "wasted" on comedy. Still it was good. Overall 7,5 Last Ep 8 Characters 7 Main couple 7 And Tsukasa x Michiru 10 (well yeah I'm still routing for them ... I know I shouldn't) |
| A fairly good ending to an otherwise mediocre show. There were some good themes at work and some solid episodes, but overall things fell a bit flat. My biggest complaint is that the tone was bouncing all over the place throughout the series; many emotional scenes were cut off at the knees by poorly timed comedic relief. The first episode alluded to a lot of potential, which ultimately went untapped. 6/10 |
