| Once you get over the controversy of this series, it isn't bad at all. While I think the pacing could have been handled much better, as the characters never had much time to breath, I'm still happy with the final results. This is no Koi Kaze, but not terrible in the least. 7/10, honestly the last arc added one point alone. |

| Lots of School Days fans hate this show. Well, that's no surprise. |
| This was some crazy incest shit. |
 |
| Well that sure was a more emotional ending than I predicted... it was good though and I liked this arc the best... but what does MAL means with; "However, beneath the surface is a secret promise that the twins made with each other long ago, the whereabouts of an important lost item, and the real reason they chose to come back here." What is that lost item?... |

| !!!!!WHAT well thats just twisted man, but I can get used to it ;) fairly good ending they stay together try to solve there love for each other and some of the characters were content and some not :l OH my goodness good ending for the most reasonable outcome |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |

| As far as the whole Dead or Alive debate, The whole sora not answering Haru's question at the end is proof of the author's choice for ambiguity. They purposely don't make it blatant one way or another, but the story has a lot more pointing at the Dead theory than the Alive one. (People already mentioned about the ripped bunny, and lack of money, I'm going to throw in a few more) The end credits constantly show nao saving them in the lake, so I really thought that was going to be the case, but I feel like nao never showed up.. or stayed around to give Haru CPR when he remained unconscious.. so it's hard to believe she fled the scene, and she had no reason to hide if she saved them. If Sora saved them both, that's also hard to imagine. She was fading as they started falling further and further down, just like Haru. Did she find some spinach at the bottom of the lake and Popeye her way to shore? I doubt it. So I personally think the Dead theory holds a lot more water than the Alive theory. Also, as the kids walked around the house, it seemel like they were just checking it out, and Shrine Maiden girl (forget her name) looked hella surprised to see Sora's room a mess, as if something tragic DID happen that she heard nothing about. Why would Haru and Sora move out without cleaning that shit up? Exactly. Because they are dead. The one and only HUGE support of them being alive: That freakin text. Someone mentioned earlier that the "looking away" was a recurring device used when someone in the show was lying. And it's not like she has any reason to look away in disgust at their friends moving (Since prez didn't tell anyone else about the incestual relationship, and im sure nao didn't either). So in conclusion, I think that text might be fake. They grown-ups ARE capable of keeping secrets (Shrine Maiden being the daughter of the Rich girls family was a big secret they kept) I'd say maybe Nao, maybe Big tits in teal shirt, or someone else in the town who didn't want to make the kids feel terrible about losing friends used Haru's phone to sent a text. NOTICE that she said there were "no other texts" after that initial text! The author purposely went out of his way to mention that there were no other texts. If haru was alive, I'm sure he would have given another status update here or there. Anyway, that's my two cents. It's left up for debate for sure, author obviously wanted to have some mystery/discussion for the readers, but in the end I think that the sadly died, but are of course happy together. Great series btw, very emotional. |
 |
| Re-watched the end, and I'm curious if maybe that "being born anew" miracle happened, allowing them to live and start fresh. I stared intently at Sora as they fell, and saw no inkling of a hope for her to find the strength to save them. I know i put up a compelling argument for the death theory, but after re-watching the end, damn you just get the FEELING they're still alive. Which is why I think the lake sort of performed a little miracle to save them. Only sending 1 text could have just shown the fact that they want to move on (and start fresh) from their lives in that town, so they don't want to constantly keep in contact so they can put the bad memories and feelings behind them. TL;DR: I am COMPLETELY SPLIT as to whether they are dead or alive. TOO HARD!! I just end up arguing with myself trying to figure it out, so I come to the conclusion that there is no definitely THIS end or THAT end. It's however the reader wants to interpret it, and that must be the author's intention. Well done Yosuga no Sora. |

| ^Finally there is a person who actually made an intelligent post without trolling this show. I really can't bring myself to see older posts because I know that most of them are just School Days snobs(at least how they looks like) trolling this show because there is no crazy yandere girl chopping someone's head. There is no bloodbath in original VN either. Back to topic I also agree with the user up there. The dead theory is much safer than alive one and also much more romantic. The text message is probably fake made by Kazuha herself because she is the only one to had a cellphone beside the twins. She uses this advantage so her friends will stop worrying about the twins despite the truth is the opposite. I gladly accepted that this show is the reversed School Days because the twins died and they are happy with it. Makoto and Sekai died together but they weren't happy with it. Only Kotonoha is the happy at the end albeit its a mental one. Sora decided to commit suicide because she thought she is dirty and parasite to society and her own brother. Other theory suggests she commit suicide that she's no longer a burden to her brother considering they don't have enough money to keep on living. Actually it is more financial reason than spiritual one. She only uses the spiritual one to justify her suicide. My favorite theory is she knew her incestuous relationship with her brother will never last long. Sooner or later Haru will find an unrelated woman as his girlfriend or wife. She will be abandoned or just returned as a normal sister to him. How they fight at dinner is a concrete proof that Haru wants to end this immoral and dirty incestuous relationship but Sora wants to keep on that way. She left a suicide note that so she can lure Haru to die with her. When Haru try to save her, she tried to push Haru down rather push him anywhere else. While there are too many reasons why but I think she just want Haru to die with her. Not long after that she's no longer struggle and start sinking. Instead of push himself to safety(Haru can't swim) and recover Sora's motionless body later, he hugged his sister's corpse and slowly accepted his own death because for him its better to die with her than to live without her. The scene when they get half-naked and hugging each other to warm they bodies is actually their stairway to heaven. Milky Way galaxy can be seen at the sky an according to some myths including Shinto one, it is a road to heaven. It much like their souls still on Earth only to say goodbye. The train scene is the heaven and how the twins making out representing their incestuous relationship. |
| I finished this series in just one night which means I want more. There is nothing wrong in the sex scenes, I love it. It's all part of the story. 9/10 for me. I wonder if there are also anime like this besides school days. |

Joyce_Steele said: Lots of School Days fans hate this show. Well, that's no surprise. Huh? Why? Well School Days is my most favorite anime... and well Yosuga is not quite bad (9/10:8/10, How I Rate:How the MAL Rate...respectively) Yeah...Kill me if you want but I like Nao more than Sora....It really look like Sora...well attracted Haru with her body....and you've got the whole sora arc....well I couldnt blame her..Haru Started it...when he was young.. Actually I dont really hate twincest..but its just sora...the arc wasnt bad at all..it was kinda happy Alive or Dead? Alive, Apparently...Nao saved them..."She didn't appeared in the scene" Well, of course she was hiding and left after a second...she knows that they cannot be stopped anymore....kinda given up...and it was not the same day that they left the town...and well the train proves it because it wasnt the same train at all... |
     |
| So does that mean that scene was cut because of time constraints... I always thought that the 2nd ending theme was an exaggerated version of yosuga (well, the scene where sora was under the table of haru *when haru was imagining it*...the bus stop that was destroyed by lightning....etc), thats why i thought that nao save them...well im still contented.... this is the one thing always bothering my mind..Akira's Xtra Large head in the Special/omake/whatever you call it...i wonder why?? |

Well School Days is my most favorite anime... and well Yosuga is not quite bad (9/10:8/10, How I Rate:How the MAL Rate...respectively) Maybe not you but there are plenty of School Days fans hated this show for very shallow reason. There is no crazy violent yandere bitch(yes Kotonoha deserved to be called as "bitch" while Sekai is "whore" and Makoto is "horndog") chopping someone's head and cut open someone's stomach. Only siblings committing suicide and went to heaven after that. Please don't take it too personally because this is my own opinion and opinions are not facts. I also didn't represent any other YnS fans out there. |

They didn't die..... (as maugomole said) sora saved haru...(with the help of sayuri-hime..as Deus Ex Machina....remember the Purple Glow XD) or Nao saved them... or something... |

| i actually feel sick right now, im gonna take a break from romance, any more romance and i will literally feel sick. I will probably vomit... Man.... Just gonna watch shonen, i cant stand romance after this, turned me off from romance -_- edit: ok feeling a bit better. I mean when tha nime finished i was like wtf... I liked it yet it turned me on but i felt sick lol. It felt weird watching this cus i watched it cus i like tsundere and i didnt mind incest, but then i liked it, but then... it made me feel sick. Hard to explain. I just dont feel like watching romance for a while now lol. I dont think it executed well, the didnt wrap up everything nicely. Il give it a 7 - 8 though. 7 for what it actually was but 8 for how much i liked it but 7 for how i felt afterwards. strange man. Strange. all episodes were fine except last two. If they didnt do it i would be ok. I think if this anime had no sex i would have been happy. but the dude had to have sex with everyone. If they got together etc... it would have been good. I mean yeah sex scenes were good but, i dunno it wasnt really a romance. More of get a girl, sex her, then have a bit of romance that has nothing to do with the sex etc... you dont have sex with a girl THEN go out with her. And you dont have sex with your sister right after you cried about it -_- |

| Best arc of course! It was a happy ending phew...but poor Kozue.. No train sex X( Maid marries Haru xD Well overall this series was much better than i first expected quite satisfied, but would have liked to have seen more of Sora though, might check out the BD scenes when they out :D Hmmm 8/10 ^^'' |
| lmao nice ending :P |
 |
| Suddenly, they're drowning each other. ┐(￣ー￣)┌ I don't know why I didn't finish this earlier, since I was looking forward to Sora's arc the most. Well, tl;dr wow, this was so full of shit. I'm surprised I actually did finish it in the end. As opposed to all my infinitely on-hold but not quite dropped series. And in the end, Kazuha > Sora > Akira > were there any more? > Nao. And the oh-so-horrendous cgi. |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
ene13 said: Sora was the best character for me because of her attitude. This was my guilty pleasure of the season, as the twincest ending really gave me what I wanted. Now, if only a series could be devoted to these two after the left for the big city, then I would jump for joy! I think it is pretty close to being realistic in terms of him searching for the true love, going from girl to girl before he realized who he really loved all along. However, this was such a fast transition from girl to girl, it really could have used a higher budget to make this as epic as Kanon or some other romance. If each girl got 3-4 eps, with sora getting 8, that would make this 25 eps, which I feel would have made this one of the greatest romances of all time. However, this brief glimpse of excellence is enough to whet my appetite for moar twincest. MOAR GODDAMMIT! i want moar! He didn't go from girl to girl, they were separate storylines. Meaning, in the sora arc he never hooked up with any of the other girls. |

| ''Yosuga no Sora''. What a roller coaster of headaches, love lust, sex, pain, and everything in between. This final episode, rather last arc, was the most defile, disgusting, amazing, yet sadistic thing I have ever seen (within the terms of reality). It's hard taking an anime like this to heart! Trying to function after watching a series like this, something that I'm having a hard time doing. I feel gross just typing as I am now. On more of a story note, I actually thought Sora and Haru died in the river. Which would have been a terrible ending. Not to say this was any better, though. You don't come by many anime like this one, so I think this is probably one for the books. Not special in any way, just different. My overall experience with this anime, I couldn't really describe it. Frustrating, sexy, and masochistic if appropriate. I think this anime deserves what it had coming, an applicable 6/10. ''Yosuga no Sora'' completed! |

| Instead of theorizing how the twins survive/died, lets us think about what impact would either or the ending would do? If the twins died, I give it a +2 for it. If the twins survived, I give it a +1, though thats what most people would hope for, including me, a bright and hopeful ending. Personally, the tragic ending would be nicer, typical animes always end with a good ending with the pair being together happily ever after, a sad ending involving the pair died together brings out the darker feeling of them together but in a different way. Only drawback is that it would be weepfest after the show is over, and I hate to stomach things like that (awww damn those endings... damn it..) But hey I always thought this picture tells it all And if you want my opinion, I'd say they survived. Sorry hope over despair for me. |
 |
| Tbh, I cried. I didn't want to cry for such an fanservicey-nearly-hentai-show like this, but I did. I can't believe it, it actually had a moral feeling, this series. I liked Kozue at the end. Too bad the omake ruinied it, argh. |
| "School days" is a lot better. At least 'cause of lack of happy end. |
 На вкус и на цвет все товарищи разные...... |
| The story was touching and it was generally a decent series, but man was the music awesome or what. |
Mr. Wonsworth, you may NOT eat my scones! |
| Sora and Haru DID NOT die, the first thing is that Sora was pretty much a internet addict...so a second bunny could easily be bought, the most important, should i tell you, is that the bunny wasn't given to Sora by her mother, it was given her by Haru, while she was little, and she was in the hospital. Next fact is that when Haru asked if they were alive, Sora smiled, a smile can only be a no if you are a sadistic idiot(not Sora's type though, she's an awesome sadistic idiot,lol). There are ALOT of evidences that they are alive, just like the fact that the stairs were pretty close to where they almost drowned so i guess Sora carried both of them there, but also Nao could've came and saved them, left the scene after being sure Sora and Haru are ok. The train to heaven?....So i guess if i take a train fuck yeah i'm going to heaven...As for Sora's headband(or something like that) when she's happy you can see her wearing a white headband, but over the series she's wearing a black headband (possibily becouse she's not really happy).For the phone scene, it's very easy, the frist think may be MyStERYoUS for you, but i guess that waterproof mobile phones are a little bit too much for your little minds to worry about.The message Haru sent to the girl doesn't have a name becouse the girl DIDN'T have Haru as a number in her agenda, that's pretty possible too...This anime gets a well diserved 10/10 for the BGM and the cute things it has...but i pretty much disliked the sex scenes in it...srsly dude, it woulda've been better without them, if you LOVE it doesn't matter WHO you love, you can't fall inlove with someone becouse of the community? Screw them!. If you want more explaination PM me...i'll offer you the best. OFF TOPIC:Who wants to make up a story for season 2? I already wrote the script of the first episode so i hope that my ideas are listened to. |
| It doesn't matter who you love, love is all that matters. |
| If you don't belive me about the fact that Haru bought Sora's bunny stuffed doll, check out the manga Chapter 6 Page 17 |

The person she would tell would of course be her half sister Kazuha and she would have made up that text which explains why she was the only 1 who received a message.

Thank you there should be no debate about this they are 100% alive if they were "spirits" then we would of saw sora and haru fly out of the lake with wings. |

Honestly - I understand what you say there, and also read what i said, HARU bought SORA'S Rabbit doll....so he could buy another one(as for the theory with the fact that they were in a kinda isolated town, Sora and Haru had internet, if not, that bunny was just a mistake by the studio, hell i don't know, Sora coulda've stiched the bunny back together.)Ah well, They are ALIVE and WELL in the VN, same in the Manga, why couldn't they be alive and well in the anime too? |
| It doesn't matter who you love, love is all that matters. |
| Okay ending. Kozue had nice eyes. |
| Definitely the arc that is most heart wrenching for me.. I'd rate the anime a 10 if this is only solely dedicated to develop this SoraXHaru arc but... since that wasn't the case, the series gets an 8. base for Scoring: Incest arc = 9.5 (there was the Slap scene+kiss that I didn't like so gotta minus some points) Childhood friend arc= 6 (Nao was such a bitch I really had a hard time watching this arc) Miko Arc= 8.5 (this was a pretty cute arc ^_^) Ojou Arc= 8 (I kinda like this arc too) Motoka Arc= 7 (a little funny but the I think their chemistry is a little off.) Average: 7.8 so I round it off to 8. |

| What a beautiful love story. :) |
  |
| Not bad for a last episode. Thought it was going to be worse. They actually put some good drama into it. I don't get how Sora got her stuffed rabbit again. Not to mention it was shredded up and lying in their house after they left. Doesn't seem like they died when they were drowning so what happened after must've been real...but how the hell did they magically wash ashore? Don't tell me it's the magical deity that guards the shrine's holy water...trololol. Oh well. Enjoyed this series even though it made me go WTF at times. |
  |
| that was somewhat disturbing ;_; very confused right now but i guess i kinda liked it - but i would have enjoyed it more without so many sex scenes however, pretty intense anime especially with those incredible OST's running in the background - im happy i watched it, but now i need to watch something funny asap |
