| This last episode was amazing. This series was a pleasant surprise and I was intrigued the entire way. I just wish we got a little more from Ms. Aki and some other characters. I still don't completely understand all the themes of this show. Overall: 8/10 I'll definitely need to rewatch it. However, I'm certain that in the future I'll hold it to higher regard! |
| Great characters, unique visuals, interesting premise...but dull to watch. I'll call it art, but I can't call it entertaining. |
| So who's behind the drift? Nagara, Mizuho, Asakaze, Nozomi, or it's a conspiracy made by four? |

I think Nagara and Mizuho went back to a different world where nozomi was alive and not to the one they originally adrift from. Nozomi made a promise with Nagara that whatever becomes of them in the other world once they go back, they have to become friends again. So I was sad to see Nagara choosing to ignore her and continue to live in a melancholic state. As much as I want to give it the best rating, this abstract piece of work leaves something more for desire imo. Had it been well rounded like TTG, it would've become my favourite instantly. I'm sure there will be a bunch of deep meanings in the anime which might get clear upon a re-watch, and yet, I want to treasure this experience and don't want to watch it ever again. Overall, the artstyle and music was fantastic, and even tho I hate seeing the loose ends and personal interpretation endings, I think it was a fitting coming of age story with a bittersweet message. Maybe the fact that Nagara didn't ask Nozomi to become his friend again it's because they aren't in the original world. I'm thinking that's just another world, a parallel universe where Nozomi didn't die. So he's not breaking his promise..Still, we have to remember that in episode 11 before Nagara shakes the hand of Nozomi to seal the promise we have a cut. So we can't say for sure that they agreed on the promise. It's the magic of open-ending animes lmao. BTW, I don't even know how to rate the show because I didn't like almost any of the episodes except for 1,2,6,11,12. The problem is that the episodes I liked were enought to make me love the characters and the grand finale. Yeah like I said she's dead both in the original world and their adrift worlds, so this world, the duo came back to is a different world where Nozomi is still alive. But that doesn't mean he can't befriend her again. She's still the same Nozomi inside. |
 |
| hard to decide if this show is a 4 or 5 after this finale, guess I’ll leave it at 4 for right now |
 |
escapism... bad! |
 |
lmao I was thinking exactly that |
Kbenicio said: It's actually not much of an open ending. There's my theory about the reoccurrence of birds in the series, and how they represent Nozomi. And, sure enough, there was a bird in that last episode. The bird dies in most of Sonny Boy because of Nagara's inaction, but in this case Nagara now tries to save the bird, and is greeted by a curious Nozomi.

So we can't say for sure that they agreed on the promise. Although very much strangers, she is still the same Nozomi through and through. There is a big chance that the bird would be the start of their friendship, just like how it had happened before the drift started. The bird is still young, but it is in safe hands this time, they only need to take care of it until its ready to fly. Until then, Nagara walks with a smile, looking forward to the future. Which is a pretty good and conclusive ending to me. |

| Okay, honestly, this will go down as a show that I fairly enjoyed the first half of but then gradually almost completely lost interest from there onwards. A tad bit too much metaphorical and abstract in essence for me and I feel like they could've used this episode to answer a few Qs instead and make sense of the whole plot but well, here we are. As for the episode itself though, it wasn't bad by any means but just fine. I really liked the melancholic vibes and the fairly depressing note they decided to close things off with but why Nozomi and Asakaze lol? The scene of the two running through the worlds plus the ost in the background was amazing though, possibly my fav moment of the show. Also, that was one powerful emotionally heavy ED theme. A fitting close, that, even though we didn't really get the closure I was hoping for. A part of me wants to give this a generous 6/10 but I'll stick with the 5 for now. |

| am I the only one waiting for Nomzomi to go after Nagara and do what they promise to tell each other??: |
| What a surreal and unique experience this show was. It was an abstract piece of art that I can't explain from start to finish. I can comprehend it, but I can't explain it lmao. This show will definitely be one of those shows that becomes a cult classic, it's not for everyone. Everyone is gone and Asakaze was the only one left, he had all that power, but at what cost. Mizuho and Nagara running through dimensions was amazing. They rerolled the dice and the world they returned to has different probabilities. The more things change, the more they stay the same, but as long as Nagara has that experience in Hateno island within him, then he'll be fine. This is just the beginning of their lives, Nagara can still keep his promise to Nozomi. I love the acoustic version of the ED, you can really feel the emotions of the singer with his singing, it was perfect for the ending. Overall, I am really satisfied with the show. 9/10 |

| I wish they revealed more about Aki-sensei. Who was she? They gave so many hints that she may not be the real one. She also said her powers are the opposite of Tsubasa's. Does that mean she can put thoughts in people's heads? So, I guess she can use her powers to put images in people's heads too, which helped her look like Aki-sensei. But, why Aki-sensei? So, everybody suffered some form of misfortune. I wish they all managed to get back, even if their memories weren't present. Asakaze changed. I know that a lot of time passed for him, but I wish we saw a bit more turning points in his arc before he suddenly helped Nagara this episode. (Also, they could have just used Asakaze instead of building the rocket?) I had wondered if Mizuho was pretending when she acted like she didn't recognise Nagara. I am glad she was. I wish Asakaze, at the end, recognised Nagara, since it would let us know that the others also made it out safely. Who was Sensou? Was that Aki-sensei's true identity? Or, was that a later version of Hoshi? Or, some whole other character? I know that every episode has a time skip, but I wish I knew when exactly they reached home. Did they never try to contact each other? Especially Nagara and Mizuho? Nagara grew up to look weird. His social anxiety hasn't improved much, which feels so real! Asakaze ended up looking hot. And, he actually seems close to Nozomi now. There are so many things I still want to know. I wish they'd revealed more. Oh, and the ED song made me laugh. |
| This is the reason i watch anime, just originality, the ability to make something new, the freedom animation gives you.. This anime is rated 7.6/10, but i hope directors and producers keep this up in the future, we need more anime like this. This also reminds me why i should not watch only 8+ rated anime, when i find that the majority of the gems are around 7 or 7.5 I cant really find a defect in sonny boy, other than maybe 2/3 weak episodes in the middle, not bad episodes, just a little bit to slow for my taste, like the baseball one, and the one with the two copies trying to kill each other. I love anime, keep it up. BTW, episodes 11 and 12 visuals... WOW |
Shibo-shonen said: Wait, what?, that's it? that's the end? There's a lot of plot holes that they did not explain that much, I could write a whole essay about all the plot holes for every episodes... I kind of feel left out, I wish there would be some Season 2 or OVA atleast to explain everything... for example what happened to Sensei or the President and Vice President(Hoshi)? Whats the point of their character? I thought they would become antagonist or something... also War? What happened to him and to God? The ending does'nt makes sense to me... Hoshi killed himself |
| This episode concludes so-called 2nd season of "Sonny boy" (ep.7-12). Ironically, only the two students who wanted to escape from the world at first reached the world Nozomi wished to go, and their memories were intact. The compass which was once Nozomi also reached there with them. (When the principal said "You cannot bring it to the usual world", the girl who works as a part-timer with Nagara now cut into frames. She might have been an active supernatural power holder in the school and helped them to bring it.) Since the destination is all around now, it can't point one direction and keeps rotating its needle. Two year has passed since the first leap and Nagara is a student of a technical high school and Mizuho is a student of a girls' high school. Nagara went to their junior high school to find her school and went there to see her. But Mizuho who already lost everything at the point pretended not to know him. At the night, she sneaked into the junior high school and tried to find the gates to other worlds in vain. Probably she got a slight idea to escape to other worlds again when she saw Nagara's face. After all, she went to Nagara's school to meet him and reunited. When they part, Mizuho said "You'll be fine as far as you still have guts you've got in that island". This would be words she threw to herself too. The idea the show tried to convey would be "You cannot change the world as is, but you do have option. And you can be happy no matter where you are." If you like this show, you may like "Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo" that has a complex time hopping plot, a story in a summer, limited number of characters, no love scene, and bittersweet ending. |
What show is the third image from? |
Erased... I don't think it's bad, but it has a lot of flaws. |
| aoty in most likelihood. Great ep, loved the ending. The most fun I had watching a show in a long time. |

| btw hoshi was the one that killed himself right? In that frame it looked like hoshi |
This show or Erased? |
| They fucked up and went back to a world full of the wagie slavey and lost all their friends, sure they could make more but to live in parrallel universes for ions is way better than going back to some shithole, lolz in da end of the day not realize what you have can fuck up your entire life. Lolz but yea all this midlife crisis stuff was fun. I liked the acid trip part for sure. |
 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. |
| Great final episode! I'm gonna miss this anime. It's one of those anime I'll be looking back on for many years, and it definitely deserves a rewatch |
 |
| it was satisfying that it ends, knowing that they finally made it back. but at the same time, it was a melancholy ending. |
| Honestly, that was a satisfying ending, definitely bittersweet. The music used in this episode gave the episode that little boost to the tone. I just love the whole melancholic and "more to desire but unachievable" feel throughout this episode. After all, no one can change the world. Overall, this journey has been pretty mind-boggling. A unique addition to this season. |

Erased, I think SB has minor flaws but will probably become a cult classic in the following years |
| Incredible episode with cool visuals and amazing music. I really felt this one. Great way to end the season. I'll be thinking about this for awhile... |
| Alright, finally i finish binge watching the last two episodes. Its sure was not an easy ride cause y'know the concept really wack at times, but somehow it can be solid when you need this to end. A bit sad knowing everyone decide to not following Nagara way of choosing, to comes back home, and still stubborn, regarding the adrift situations kinda not cleared much. Well, however what they've chose, its their own future concern. After all, Sonny Boy prove themself can act as a complete original series without having an ambigue incompleted shit story, like a certain original i watch at the beginning of the year. This is also a breath of fresh air concerning an isekai story with a very solidified end plan. So, yeah, cutting all the minor matters, i feel like this is the kind of good end with a very pleasantly unique concept of story. I am satisfied with how everything's end. Even though some of the part from a certain 'kono sekai' journey happened previously, were not that much good. I determine myself to get this show in a solid 8 list, cause of the music and solid end. Tyvm for the wacky trip in these (previous) season, Sonny Boy, and Madhouse. |

the_assasins said: /snip/  this is the scene where nagara is doing his job. after kicking the trash, she then appeared.  this scene happened where nagara and mizuho try to leave the dimension. this scene happened after we see old geezer god on his wheelchair (indicating the possibility that both of them somehow have a connection) Holy shit great find on the ponytail girl. I think that implies there are still others who can jump worlds, powers are not necessarily unique to one person. I love details like this because it expands the story's logic/worldbuilding A LOT but does it very subtly. This basically means there are more than two observers; Mizuho and Nagara are not alone. Ofc not like this adds anything to what we've seen, the actual conclusion is pretty clear cut lol, I just love little details like these |
Lisk- said: axitsunfuric said: dose anyone notice that Nozomi seem fatter in the world that Nagara and Mizuho get back ? I notice that aswell. If you compare to episodes before that, Nagara seems different too. You can notice Nagara in the drift world seems more cool (his hairstyle is just not the same). Maybe because different time set. Here's a pic to compare.   It was 2 years later, ofc he'll look different |
