| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- it was a bittersweet ending.

| I too am glad she didn't win the medal, it made it a bit more realistic. Not to mention she wasn't really aiming for that anymore. Oh my gosh though that ending was so sad!! :*( But I think it was pretty obvious from the beginning, and a great way to finish the series! See you next time! |
| I thought somehow, magically, Pete was gonna be able to live D= I was so sad that it didn't happen. It was like the ending that I hoped was going to happen but knew deep, deep down it wouldn't XD |
 |
| sad ending, but a very good one. was hoping pete would wake up from a coma or get a second chance at life or something, but it was fine :P it made this series memorable |
 waaah !! i love it !!!! i hope there's a second season because its not satisfying that they didn't end up together T_T.....and wtf !!! why pete always interrupts the confession !!! honestly i want more ....... T_T |
| it was so sweet I cant stop crying... the last time I cry for a anime/manga was boys next door and ayashi no ceres its sooo sad.. I hate the ending but I love it too |
Canaaaaaaadaaaaaaaaaaaa = X3    |
| Aww, such a sad ending. :( Good anime though. :) |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I love this anime and I hate tomatoes ^-^lol |
| Sad but beautiful ending T_T |
| It was one of the best animes I have seen so far ...such a great ending ...even through I cried so much...my tears just won't stop...Love is so painful ....and this anime had showed me that ( but it can be happy too if u can enjoy it>_<) |
| loved ending such great romance tho comedy was kinda repeatable, good anime. |
| Good ending to a good anime. Amazing engrish. |
| Come on, we all knew that the ending will be so sad. I cried during last 3 episodes. Yes, three. I cried a lot, but I'm happy that it ended that way. Regaining consciousness during coma etc wouldn't be realistic. I thought Tazusa will be 2nd or 3rd, but after I finished the anime, I guess it's better that way. She aimed to fulfill Pete's dream. God, this anime was fantastic. Tazusa had lots of problems but she achieved her goal with Pete's help. That's why I loved Pete as a character a lot. |
| I really like this anime. But i hoped so much that Pete wouldn't die. Still its a good ending. There was so much feeling at the last three episodes, that i think Tazusa will have a nice life after her time with Pete. |

| Its not bad that it ended this way, but I still wish there is a alternative ending which is a happy ending for both MC though I knew that it is impossible |

| I'm glad I watched this show. One of the better romances I've seen. It would be nice if she could've confessed to Pete but it was still a great ending. I got watery eyed quite a few times this anime, and the parting scene was done nicely. Overall I give this show a 7.5/10. Enjoyability wise it is definitely an 8 though. |
 |
| Such a good series. I'm glad the ending was definitive and he didn't just magically stay inside her due to the power of love or some crap. Enjoyed every episode without losing interest once. |

| The ending was realistic and beautiful. This show never failed to keep me entertained throughout. A solid 7/10. |
| Actually, I wasn't very enthusiastic about watching this anime. I tied it just because I wanted to watch something, which includes skating. But after a few episodes I was completely into it! It was really fun to watch how they interacted with each other. I thought, that they were a great couple. And what about the ending... Although I expected something like that, it still was sad to watch. But I think it was a perfect way to end this story. I'm REALLY glad I watched it! >.< |
 |
| A beautiful and sad end, they were really a great couple. :'( I really enjoyed this show ! 09/10 |
| Just wondering, how do the novels end? Wikipedia says they only adapted the first half of the novels, and while this had a solid ending with closure and emotional payoff and doesn't strictly need a sequel, I could easily imagine a season two set in Vancouver 2010. Turns out Pete was in a coma for the 100 days he spent w/ Tazusa, and when they meet again Pete's recovered, out of his coma, and an ace pilot while Tazusa is a serious contender for figure skating gold. I think I just gave myself an idea for a fanfic I'll never write. |
 |
| They are so humble -_- Japanese figure skater Shizuka Arakawa actaully won in Turin. |
| Sad ending. I only wish she got to say 'I love you' to Pete before parting. |
 |
| The ending was very good. Overall, I'm still deciding if this is worth a 6 or 7 as it got a lot better in the second half but took too long just to get its quality up. The comedy didn't really work for me. |
| The ending was sad as expected (thought I was hoping otherwise) but that's what made the build up so strong in the last few episodes. All in all an amazing anime ... I'm really glad I found this one. |
| The ending was so sad. :( |

| That last performance was really good, they really did fly together :) Alas, no medal, but I feel like that didn't even matter anymore. After 100 days of fun, Pete left. That departing scene was pretty sad, too bad Tazusa never got to say that she loved him D': Wow this anime was soooooo gooooood. I totally forgot that it was on my plan to watch list until recently, and I'm so glad I watched it! The characters were really fun, there was some good comedy with Tazusa looking like she was talking to herself, I really liked the soundtrack, and the figure skating theme was really cool! 10/10, I really loved it :) |

| ...Sad...as I knew it would be. I didn't think Tazusa would beat Ria, but I thought she'd at least get a medal for that performance. Oh well, she has many years to grow. Goodbye, Pete. T_T Daisuke da yo!! |
 |
| 9/10 I loved the story, main characters, the art and animation, seiyuus, music, op/ed. I watched it in one run, kinda rare. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Well, this is why I don't drop any shows. This one was better than I thought. |
 |
| A sweet ending, they could've saved that for kiss for that last goodbye moment but nevertheless it was a nice way to conclude. The first half of the series was kinda average for me, but the second half was quite good. |
 |
| Why no confession. T____T |

| This final performance was leaps & bounds better than her maid cafe skit. I really like how it ended up being both a step forward for Tazusa as well as a swan song for Pete as he was able to soar freely once again. The dynamic between these two was fun to watch and I became fond of the witty, playful chemistry they shared. Even though Tazusa's confession came a moment too late, those feelings were already mutual and Pete didn't need to hear it plainly to know. I'm sure he could sense it in her heart - literally in her heartbeat. I've been wanting to watch this ever since I saw Full Moon wo Sagashite and sure enough, it proves that even simpler anime like this can still deliver worthwhile stories that leave a lasting impact. It almost seems a shame for this to be over, but I'm glad that those 100 days were brought to full fruition. 7/10 |
 |
| Good ending. I liked they didn't chicken out at the last minute and made up some magical excuse for them to stay together. |
