| I'm not satisfied at the ending..what happen to Takayuki and Mitsuki after a year.? |

| The ending doesn't sit with me well - it's not that it's bitter, in fact, it wouldn't sit with me even if he had got with Haruka either. Iono, 7/10 for me. I didn't feel sad, just unsettled by it all. Not a satisfying feeling (and it's not because of the slightly bitter end). |
| It's already over..... :( Loved it till the end.... This anime is a masterpiece....... but why it has crappy rating in MAL.... |

| When Haruka and Narumi were parting my eyes started tearing up. What a crappy ending! It ruined the whole anime for me, I wasn't that crazy about it to begin with and I only watched it to see if he'll end up with Haruka. He didn't. Why did I even waste my time... |

Oo Like, when we find out that Haruka published her book and stuff. Yes I know there was a time skip. What I meant was like a look into their new lives, they really didn't show much other than the fact that they moved and Takayuki with his job. (not sure about this one) |
| Awesome ending, I am so glad that he started over with mitsuki. She has made a horrible mistake after haruka had a accident. But she really loved him..... She took care of him.. always. She deserverd this. despite what she had done. |
| Awsome Ending. Really like that he decided for Mitsuki... but also ended in tears myself at the end. |
I wish they went with additional ending, where Mitsuki was reading Haruka picture book to her son.  If anyone was interested in the OVA, Don't wait it, unless your die hard Haruka fan. |

Grimwolf said: Blaming only Mitsuki for Haruka accident is petty, what about Takayuki or the driver? All these things happen in life, we have no control of it, but its just sad to blame something that happened to you on another person.I would dislike Mitsuki, if only she intentionally did it on purpose.  SuppleTears said: Usually I be piss off for the victim, if there partner cheated on them, but in Takayuri case, he deserves more than being cheated on. I don't know if your in a relationship or not, but how would you feel, if your boyfriend is constantly visiting his ex-girlfriend happily, which effects your relationship with him (barely any conversation, sex, or even a smile and all of this was before she complained to him). Any normal person would feel very depress, that the person they devoted their life to is possibility leaving you.Takayuri keep stating he is obligated to visit Haruka until she fully recovers, but he is more obligated to his relationship with Mitsuki, who is his girlfriend. Throughout the series, he stated he loved Mitsuki more, but he doesn't act on it, it shows lack of initiative as a good boyfriend. Like Akane, Haruka and Shinji stated, he was to kind, but kindness can be cruel at times. Don't you remember how long Mitsuki waited for him? He only came home, when she was sleeping and he didn't even eat the breakfast she made for him. What worst off, is she found them uneaten, what does that message portray to you mean? He hates me? He doesn't love me anymore? He wants me out of his life, so he can get back with Haruka? Takayuri is a douche during this time, he even avoided having a proper conversation with Mitsuki, to figure out what up with their relationship, communication is what makes a relationship of any sorts strong. Mitsuki was easing her pain and depression with booze, which led up to having sex with another person. Afterwards, she felt guilty after realizing she had sex with another person and worst off, it was Shinji their friend. Yes, booze does influence thoughts and decisions, this further add to why I don't dislike her for cheating. I was actually hoping she would fall in love with Shinji and move on with life. I don't know if your in a serious relationship or not, but think about it, would you want to be treated the same way as Mitsuki, by a douche like Takayuri. Physical cheating vs. Lack of devotion? Both are bad, but I know which one hurts the most in this series situation... My summary of the whole series: |

| Looks like its been a while since anyone posted here. But I'll give this a 9/10 Wish I could give it a 10/10 but they drug out so much effort into a small plot that I felt was rushed in the end, ending was sad but it looks like they all came back together in the last few seconds of screentime so Im happy with that. |
 |
| This was heart-wrenching all the way through... Haruka gets EVERYTHING taken away from her, abandoned by her best friend and her only love. WHAT A LOAD OF BULL!!!! And when she finally wakes up, she's forced to realize that her dreams of love were just that, a DREAM. I HATE how Mitsuki was the one who "suffered" when she was the one who seduced Takayuki and betrayed her best friend who was pretty much dead for 3 years. Next Season is the TRUE ENDING for me. -end of rant. |

| Jesus,i feel sorry for saying this but i prefered that Takayuki stayed with Haruka,i know that Mitsuki gave up her dream beacause of the guy and such but Haruka didn't had any luck and got hit by a car.And also the fact that she and Takayuki where a great couple and that the major fault of she being in the hospital was him. Thats why I hated the end and cryed at the part where they said goodbye to each other. |
| Wonderful. |
| One of the best seinen for sure! I really liked the final, it was more realistic. |
 |
| Masterpiece emotional anime. I'm considering re-watching in dubbed now tbh. |
 |
| Best series I ever watched. |
vansonbee said: you are wrong here, it doesnt influence anything, it just lowers inhibitions where you act on impulses instead of thinking things through, its just an excuse to say "im drunk so i cant be accountable for my actions"Yes, booze does influence thoughts and decisions that out of the way, it kinda sucked to me that he didnt yell at the sister that it wasnt his choice to leave her side, but i guess feeling he was to blame for everything, he felt he had to shoulder every bit of the blame for everything that happened couldnt believe shinji saved mitsuki, then knowing she was drunk, let her do as she wanted, wasnt even a real point in the fight before hand except he was the one that wanted the action, an what about telling his girl? someone shoulda told her so no ones in the dark lol side note, wish the ovas were dubbed, guess ill have to break down an watch em subbed lol |

| It's a good love triangle when both choices are so plausible. But what is certain is that both girls deserved him. Well, they deserve better because he's such a boring guy, but they still both deserve to "win". I'm more leaned towards Mitsuki though, she supported Takayuki a lot in the crisis, she gave up a lot of important things for him and even "betraying" Haruka obviously burdened her all the time. The distance and lack of communication between Mitsuki and Takayuki was due to the Haruka matter being unresolved, so I think it's overall a good match. Going for Haruka instead would have had some sense of clinging to the past and filling a responsibility to deal with regrets. While it would have been noble in a way to support Haruka, that would be a questionable choice in a way for this work. The story cut corners a lot, all those theatrically dramatic reactions and assuming fixtations of the characters all the time wouldn't be so much of a problem or not a problem at all if everyone's mentalies, friendships and so on were better developed before or at least alongside that heavy, emotional mess. Comic relief here was some of the worst ever, there were some supporting character development moments that didn't go anywhere and some just didn't get anything at all (like the emptiest parent characters ever). Symbolic elements in the story and visuals were kind of okay, but everything was very standard in the end. Oh well, at least this gave some more impact to a part of Muv-Luv :p 5/5, 5/10 |

| This series was painfully realistic, yet so disorientated at times. Some very good advices given there by those side characters that could have been used on any part of life, not just the romantic side. Takayuki's end speech, was very meh to me. Nothing convincing, plus all he talked about was himself and not how Mitsuki could actually be fulfilled by this relationship again. He just won her over by being melodramatic about his feelings. I actually honestly didn't want him to end up with anyone (maybe Haruka because its was just personal character taste), he still seemed so lost and unstable to be in a relationship. Just kind of derping around and being emotionally dependant on girls. Or something. I dont know guys, this main character is not really doing it for me. He practically did nothing, but be nice and eat everything up. The book story ending added a nice touch to it, but for some reason I didn't feel as overflown with emotions. I was just kind of content that everyone just moved the eff on and not be stuck in the past. This anime was a bit of a pain to finish... it only made me frustrated and annoyed at the characters, couldn't actually feel any attachment to any of them. It was basically just a game of 'who is he going to choose?' and how much drama-filler can you squish in there? I'm a bit disappointed... |
| rare anime in the romance genre 7/10 :) was going to give it 8 but the ending wasn't that big mitsuki > haruka anyway :D |
 |
| I like how the ending was done and how it was executed, but I wasn't entirely satisfied with what was given. still think that this anime was done very nicely. 8/10 |
^_^ |
| the ending was bad in the way that they made you think in many ways that he would be with haruto and then he just leaves her there at the beach and then never sees her again, what?! why would she be happy with that her best friend stabbed her in the back while she was in a comma. Think the whole thing would have been more emotional if the first two episodes did not cram in months worth or details so you would have felt more attached to their relationship |
| Haruka Murakami? Haruki Murakami! :o |

| KimiNozo had the potential to be so much more than it was. It's refreshing to finally watch a series that doesn't have to rely on cheap melodrama to evoke an emotional response in its viewers. The emotions depicted were genuine and the series was painful to watch at times because of how realistically it portrayed the characters' thoughts and actions. The series would have had a devastating impact on me if the characters did not become mere plot devices whose sole purpose was to advance the plot. It seemed like they only existed out of necessity - they had to be present for there to actually be a story. It's a shame, because had the writers taken the time to develop them better and allowed the audience to become emotionally attached to the cast, KimiNozo could have been one of the best series in its genre. Extensive character development is necessary for a tragic drama like this to be effective. Because KimiNozo fails to accomplish this task, I simply cannot give it a rating higher than 5/10. However, I must admit that the series finale ALMOST made me change my opinion about the series because of how well executed it was. |

| Damn those picture books were even more saddening than this whole anime, the first and the last with the song... In the end this anime was actually pretty decent had a good story and character development and other than the betraying part the story was pretty decent. The end was aslo rather touching and well it actually was a sweet ending! I do wonder what the small ova sequel will bring us. But if I may be honest I wouldn't have watched this anime in the first place as there were to much recommendations to School Days that I totally disliked, comparing School Days with this anime is rather sad as it might downscale the view rate of this well not so bad anime. Okey some of the topics come into this one as well as: love triangle, cheating, betraying but well this one actually has a decent story buildup and a sweet ending! |

| I didn't like the ending. I really don't feel like Haruka ended up happy. I loved her :( I reallllllly hated mitsuki but ended up feeling really bad for her. She did suffer a lot. The guy was just a jerk. Poor girls. I still wanted him to end up with haruka and then have mitsuki get over him but still end up happy. Poor haruka she really didn't deserve to be in that accident. Or I at least wanted to see haruka with another guy or starting to like another guy. She's the cutest thing ever. |

| I just hate Mitsuki lol. Although it's good that Haruka didn't end up with Narumi because he's a dick. Good anime, bad end imo. |

Quite frankly your opinion is appalling and it is downright ridiculous that you think there are better anime that delivered drama. Name a single one. The only one I can think of that even comes close to matching Kiminozo is Anohana. |
| Glad they both ended up happy. Also glad it ended with Mitsuki x Takayuki... A bit more of a resolution, like, maybe a kiss or a scene when they are married 5 years later would have made it more complete. |
