Tsuki ga Kirei FINAL

Season 2 when?

>>159169196
let's not.

a movie and 2 or 3 OVA's will be enough. This perfect ending is too perfect. Just be happy with this.

>>159169701
Agreed. Second season would only ruin this masterpiece. Give us a movie instead or just shorts. Or, here we go, an OVA about the wedding. Yes please.

>>159167388
No season 2. I want more content, but I really do not want a second season. It doesn’t need it.
As other anons have said, movie and/or OVAs.

the ost too right?

An OVA that's 22 minutes of shorts that wraps up all the other side character's stories would be great.

so what kind of sales is this for an estimated average? 8k?
feel has been doing decent, and i don't expect worse onwards

>>159170822
It's single volume

All tsukis are cute! CUTE!

Does anyone have translations for the ED line chats?

>all the LINEs in the ED were between them during the timeskip

Why was his story called 13.70?

When a show manages to make you shed tear for 90% of its episodes and leaves you completely speechless with its final ED you know you've just watched somethign great, something that cant even be explained with words.

>>159172568
Its Akane's personal track record

>>159172618
Oh, damn, that's cute.

>>159171004
>no harem bs
>no unnecessary comedy
>no booby beach episode

If it wasn't for the shoty animation this could be AOTY contender.

>>159172742
Maybe you should start watching shoujo if that is all that it takes to impress you.

>>159167388
I'm a Kemono friends bandwagoner do I watch this too because other people like it?

>>159172798
I can about 5 series in the past 2 seasons that have done this. They started strong and delved into the bs I mentioned above.

Tsukigakerei stayed true to itself the entire show. Which is something that is rarely seen these days.

>>159172841
watch it because you like it.

>>159172934
Yeah, ok.

Start watching shoujo.

>>159173269
He obviously recorded a sound file on his phone and sent it to Akane through LINE.

Reminder that Akanes don't exist, they will ask you to commit to a LDR but will dump you anyway when THEY find an alternative. Don't belive this show's lies.

I cried like a little bitch at the end. The show just feels so authentic.

>>159173534
>women staying loyal in a long distance relationship
>authentic

>>159173472
This is true and happened to me but I still loved this show.

This show would be everyone favorite if this show have KyoAni/Shinkai animation and big marketing.

>>159173472
It goes both ways. I was with this girl for 3 years before we committed to a long distance relationship, after 4 months I cheated on her.

>>159172798

I want to cum inside Akane!

>>159174075

Should i watch sukasuka last episode first or Tsuki ga Kirei last episode first?

>>159175119
Sukasuka anime is written by LN author, baka.

>>159175267
Will Chinatsu's suffering ever end?

I stopped watching this at episode 6.5 because it was really slow-going.
What happened? I doubt I'll really watch the rest but apparently it was really good?
Up until that point it was pretty meh. By no means bad, but completely forgettable outside of the addictive VAs.

>>159175395
Never
>>159175553
Just keep watching

>>159175553
It was basically the same thing as the first half.

>>159175553
It's a simple love story. Do you want moeshit in it?

>>159175553
It's only remarkable for people who have been watching only ecchi or shounenshit their entire lives.

>>159175591

I don't have the drive to really. Again, not to say it's bad, but I just can't bring myself to care for the characters.

>>159175615

I'll skip it then. I assumed something happened in the later half that made things seem more interesting.

>>159175646

I actually liked the artstyle of this and thought everything looked nice. It was well-presented from what I watched and had nothing unnecessary -- it felt like a picturesque coming-of-age love-story. It did absolutely nothing wrong because it stayed within the boundaries for everything to play it safe.

>>159175657
Makes sense. It was nice from what I watched but it wasn't remarkable in any way outside of the VAs.

>>159175741
>I assumed something happened in the later half that made things seem more interesting.
Nope, just the usual best girl losing. at least the tomboy confessed... for closure.

>>159175871

Go beat off to being rejected.

>>159175741
To even consider the show a coming-of-age story greatly overestimates it. There is no growth exhibited by the characters at all. The show is only concerned about the love story part. All its characters, all the dialogue, and all the events that occur are only there to create the drama or the "ups and downs" in the relationship between the main couple.

So how much of the budget came directly from Line? 95%?

What do you think they named the baby?

>Hurrr its only good if you watched shitty anime your entire life
>Hurrr go watch shoujo

I have scoured many shoujo in search of a good romance and the 'genre' (whatever you call it) suffers the same as all its Japanese brethren in how incestuous and tired its ideas are. Love triangles that drag out for hundreds of chapters/multiple seasons, bland female leads, *I'm just a normal girl but then 3 different guys fell in love with me suddenly*, MISUNDERSTANDINGS that leave you frustrated, and ever male outside of the love interests are rabid mindless animals.

As with everything, there are wonderful exceptions to this rule (Card Captor Sakura and Ouran High to name a couple), but in terms of romance Tsuki ga Kirei towers above them in how humble and down to earth it is.

>You will never fall in love with someone who loves you so much back they write an entire story about how meeting you was the greatest moment of their life and that they'll love you no matter what happens or how far away you are

That's one of the best parts of this anime. The male lead actually worked his ass off for this relationship, alongside the female lead. Most anime like to coddle the viewer by putting up a passive male lead and saying "Look at this cute girl, she'll do everything for you, just sit back and enjoy the ride".

>>159177418
It's easy to be proactive behind a computer screen. In real life, he turns into a literal statue under emotional stress, and he showed no growth on that end throughout the show.

>>159177529
Bull fucking shit. Did you even watch this fucking anime?

>>159176705
It's interesting how an anime completely self-absorbed about the main characters' relationship and nothing more for 12 full-length episodes can be considered humble. You have side characters like Chinatsu and Hira who equally experience puppy love, but they are either villified or their love is disparaged. Chinatsu has a lesser and impure love because she tried to drive a wedge between the two in her attempts to win over Kotaro. Hira also has a lesser and impure love because he is made to be a selfish character; he exclaims that he deserves Akane because he loved her first and starts putting down her boyfriend upon being rejected. The side characters seem to only further prove how true and and how perfect the love between the main couple is. It really is amazing to me how someone can consider this humble. Perhaps shallow would be a better descriptor?

>>159177557
>girl pouring out her heart to him, in tears
>he says nothing, does nothing
>she kisses him and runs away
>he says nothing, does nothing
This is the last scene we have of them together outside of the ending montage, which is just snippets that have zero characterization. It's not a good final impression.

Truly, you were as beautiful as the moon all along.

>>159177593
You act as if the anime painted Koutarou and Akane in a perfect light when it was far from it. Koutarou brushed off his mother encouraging him to study which bit him in the ass, Koutarou several times misread the situation and hurt Akane, Akane has Koutarou lead the relationship because she's introverted as hell until she finally muscles up and turns down Hira.

Also 'villified' is a hilarious term. Sorry anon, but "Why him and not me?" is a common thing that comes up in romance. What Chinatsu did at the meet and the theme park was unacceptable, but nothing a typical kid new to love wouldn't try. In the end they were both rejected and took it gracefully.

All the major players in this anime had flaws, the leads included.

Comforting show to watch, akane was moe.

>>159167388
Any info if there is more shorts on BD-box?

Does anyone feel like watching this was like watching your kids grow up?

I felt oddly paternal feelings towards Kotarou and Akane. Made me so proud to see them grow up desu

>>159174094
I believe you.

>>159177593
Yes, it is humble, because of how genuine it's depiction of their relationship. Their relationship doesn't develop across melodramatic confessions or death-defying acts of love, or MISUNDERSTANDINGS or any of the stupid romance tropes that riddle bad shoujo, J-dramas, and shitty romance fiction. The plot is immensely small, covering events like them noticing each other in class, or they cheering each other on in running/writing, but the direction goes right into the heart of the smallness and touches something real and human. This is why anyone who's been through young love can feel so much from this. Bad shoujo and bad stories that >>159175657 compares Tsuki ga Kirei to are plot-centred shows in the worst sense of the word: just an endless sequence of hollow events intend to shock or create entertainment value. This show however makes the effort to make you feel what the characters feel. Sure, in the end it's still a simple high school love story, but it captures the high school love experience. A bad story only relates an event. This one captures it and resonates with its viewers for its genuineness.

>>159178772
Completely agree. If I was to self-insert into anyone in this anime, it'd be that one guy that handed Koutarou 1000 yen.

I love the fact that the parents were actual fucking parents. They look aged, they took an interest in their kids lives, it was nice.

>>159178840
You mean the middle school love experience?

Because Kuzu no Honkai covers the high school experience.

>>159178929
Kuzu no Honkai covers the soap opera experience

stop this meme, youve been doing this for 12 weeks now.

>>159174503
Just don't watch the last episode of Sukasuka at all. You'll be better off leaving on the cliffhanger.

When do you think that Akane start falling in love with Koutarou? I guess it's when Koutarou said "You're are fine the way you are". That what make Koutarou different with Hira. Hira always expect more from Akane, but Koutarou always "it's fine, let's do our best again, together". So did Akane to Koutarou about his novel and schoollife.

>>159179358
Yeah that's probably it. Curly-kun is the opposite of most of the people in Akanes life.

>>159176661
Beppipo

The first moment she saw him

>>159177620
So should we just ignore the line ED chats?

>>159179665
You shouldn't ignore them, but you should recognize that they're a hell of a lot less valuable than fully contextualized scenes within the show. It's just disappointing that any character development is left up to your imagination, and even more disappointing that the final animated scene is Kotarou being a hypocrite and then pouting before chasing a train.

>>159172798
Shoujo romance has all three of those problems. You must have a very limited understanding of it to think it doesn't happen there.

>>159178772

Only towards Akane. Kotarou lost my paternal support after ep 10 so I can no longer consider him a potential son-in-lawfu.

>>159167388
Fuck yes that ending. It was pretty much everything I could have ever wanted and it was very enjoyable all throughout. That whole ending bit with the LINE's was amazing and even though it was short it was nice seeing the different parts of their lives afterwards. I realize it's a bit of wish fulfillment that everything worked out at the end and they stayed together but I'm just so happy with this ending.

>>159180032
You don't deserve Koutarou you terrible father. The moment a kid acts like a dumb kid and you get butthurt and disown them.

Akane the BEST

>>159179358
It's pretty transparent that it's the exact moment you cited. Unfortunately, it's not a message that I can agree with, especially not with Akane's character and her particular situation and especially not in the modern technological society where it's becoming more and more difficult to find opportunities to set meaningful goals for ourselves. She should create more opportunities for her future by pushing her limits while she's at a young age.It's also especially important for someone as meek as her to learn not to balk at criticism instead of relying on someone to assure her all the time. If Hira's tough on her, then the competition beyond middle school will probably be even tougher.

>>159172085
Yeah that's what couples usually do, you subhuman basement dweller.

I thought we were gonna see a HS arc with that other track girl getting in the way and them having to figure out the long distance relationship.

But this is fine too.

>>159176952
And it end up done well because author aware 12 episodes is only enough for Kutori's story.

>>159180262
While I can agree with you, but I still understand people who don't want to be pushed for something.
From what I got in the series, Akane do track club because she do it for fun, she enjoy it because she like running. That's why she always answered vaguely when she asked if she will continue running or not. That's why Koutarou never push Akane, he just "do your best" and "keep running because you like it".
That's different with Koutarou, He seriously want to be writer. And Akane said "it's okay" when Koutarou had a bad grade because he keep focused on writing.

>mfw nee-chan didn't get a happy end

>>159181126
A lot of people aren't given the privilege to do something that they enjoy, they're good at and still productive (viable as a means of living) and worthy of recognition. It's a very valuable gift what Akane has. Her position as a talented athlete who enjoys the sport is just as attractive as her relationship and I think the story should have been able to capture the value of that.

If this show had been two-cour, would it have been a lot more satisifying?

>>159181755
no

>>159181755
The characters would need to be more interesting to fill out that many episodes, who knows

So they had a massive timeskip of them doing a long distance relationship.

>>159181883
>and they didn't even show any of it, except stuff in the ED

Why is something so simple and so cringe this good? I usually can enjoy shoujo and just general romance to an extent, but this one in particular always puts a smile on my face from how silly it is. Every episode, I'm reminded of my little crushes in middle and high school and the dumb things we did. Its been a long time since I've seen a series that wasn't moeshit that made me feel warm inside. Its definitely not my AoTS, but it is a series I'll probably come back to every once in a while.

>>159181979
Probably because you post in buzzwords.

>>159181883
That was imaginary anon. Akane asked what happened next so Kotaru wrote a fanfic for her. In reality he ended up with Chinatsu, while Akane met up with Hira at a uni sports fair and hooked up

>>159180251
It's funny how Akane grows up from picture to picture and then in the last she looks like 14 again.

An OVA about Roman fucking the teacher on their wedding night would be great, but what needs to happen is more romance like this without shitty melodrama aimed at angsty teenage retards and SJWeebs (think garbage like KnH, that yuri NTR shit, or WA2) and for this studio to hire proper animators and ditch the CG garbage. Also maybe ease up on how hard they went with the "we want them talking like real people, so instead of emoting they'll just grunt and mutter out one or two words per sentence most of the time."

>>159193076
>>159192617
Fuck off.

>>159193584
>weak characterization
The only reason you even think that is because youre too narrow-minded to read between the lines and interpret the characters behavior. You need everything spelled out, so it comes as no surprise that you arent able to appreciate the show as much as you should be able to. There is a reason why they put such an insane emphasis on the little noises that both of them make, the confused faces and dialogues and them staying them. You dont magically change a kids personality within a year, and you dont magically get rid of someones insecurities either. How is he supposed to react to her basically ambushing him with what she said? How is he supposed to react to her saying that it hurts her to cause him trouble? She indirectly is afterall, even though it not being her fault. How is he supposed to react to the fact that he assures her (ever since e10) that it will be fine even if they are apart, yet she still says that it wont be? Neither of them was at fault because this sort of situation would be borderline impossible to deal with even for adults.

>>159177620
>he says nothing, does nothing
Azumi is still learning about relationships and how to place yourself in the shoes of your partner. He was typically masculine in that scene and thinking about proactive solutions to their problem so it didn't even occur to him that Akane was stressed out about their relationship and the things that could go wrong when they go long distance. He didn't realize he should have brought up Chinatsu's confession because he considered it handled and done with. And when he does realize something is wrong he's out of his depth and reverts back to his timid self which, while you consider this static and lacking in characterization, is very consistent with his existing characterization and pretty much what I expected. The show isn't a grand coming of age and doesn't really need sweeping development in its protagonists. It's more about young love and how people grow from those kinds of experiences, set in a relatively short frame of time. The growth exhibited is more lateral than vertical but that doesn't make it meaningless.

Azumi didn't need to go from autistic shyboy to manly proactive toughguy over the course of the show. And in fact, I would consider poor characterization if he suddenly made switch at the end. Up to this point, every time he's done something remotely aggressive it's because he worked himself up to do it and the action itself was awkward as all hell. He's not smooth and experienced by the end and that's fine with me. Akane is the catalyst for his growth, seen throughout the show as well as with the 'what happens next' prompting, which is what ultimately sets him into motion. I'm not going to pretend the show is a masterpiece but it's still quite good for what it is and to claim that he doesn't grow and doesn't work for his development is a very disingenuous statement.

>>159193584
It is completely valid.

He's not "supposed" to react in any way, but ANY reaction would have been better than standing still and saying nothing. Because that's exactly what he did earlier in the show when confronted. Even if he fumbles and says the wrong thing, it would at least show effort to better himself.
>>159194536

You can suggest whatever you want, but it's pretty clear that you have no idea what you're talking about and are just taking shots in the dark. To address your (stupid) claim directly, nakige VNs aren't tragedies, but they're sure as hell melodramatic, especially in the third act.

Damn, I can't recover from this.
Episode Kawagoe Festival one of my favorite. That ending.

>>159233986
I gave you a chance to read on your own, but okay. Fiction crosses the line from drama to melodrama when the majority of the work focuses on emotional manipulation or tugging at the audiences heart strings. Characters are usually one note, don't change all that much, and things like world building and plot take a back seat to trying to get you to feel strong emotions towards the characters struggles, which are usually presented in a bombastic way. Since this is a Tsuki ga Kirei thread, let's look at this show. This show isn't melodramatic. The relationships (and even the fights) are pretty grounded, and the conflict resolution is reasonable without getting dragged out with stupid shit like crying and screaming in the rain (see: any Okada anime). This contrasts to something like 5cm/s, which was another romance about kids separated by distance. There was no focus on anything except for the guy mopping over being apart from the girl, and instead of getting on a train to go see her on weekends, he just laments over how impossible it is, and the rest of the movie focuses on making us feel sad for him.

Sukasuka was melodramatic from start to finish. Every episode reminded you:
Ctholly is a nice girl who loves Willem
Ctholly is going to die/lose herself
Willem is a good guy who's been through a lot and wants to protect the girls/make them happy
There's an interesting world buried underneath all that, but it never gets the chance to shine because of the constant focus on Ctholly's love and how she's doomed. Hell, one of the few times they touch on the world around them is to throw in a banal "the monsters are people" twist. I lost count after 4 teary reunions by the 8th episode, and then the finale is an exploding ship in the sky, followed them trying to one-up each other with selfless sacrifices, and Ctholly reminding us again that she loves him as she dies. It's pure, unadulterated melodrama, and you liking hammy melodrama doesn't change that.

So what was your favorite episode? Mine was I think 8? Whichever one it was that was them walking around the festival and just being cute together. Pic related. It's at that moment that I thought "Yeah, this might actually be more than just a middleschool crush. These two deserve each other".

>>159234433
The finale, not even close. The ED sequence was perfect. Most media likes to give you a shitty, wishy washy ambiguous ending because some idiots think that it's inherently more refined (if it's not a psychological thriller, than it's probably not suited to the story) but this one just completely delivered 100%.

>>159217801
That's another thing I love about this story. In any other anime it would be something like
>the ace of the track & field club, the fastest middleschooler in Japan
>the young novelist prodigy with over 300 confirmed bestsellers
>could this unlikely couple find happiness...?

Tsuki ga Kirei has none of that, they're just ordinary kids enjoying their ordinary love. That's part of what makes it so special.

The small shorts at the end of each episode were the only good parts of the show.

The show itself was borderline insulting at how vanilla it was. Reading through the thread it makes me thing I watched a different show than most people.

>>159234728
That was pretty nice. Still, I wish he'd have just taken the offer to write LNs and used his head for a minute. Writing an LN doesn't mean you have to write battle haremshit or isekai for retards, LN is just a marketing term and he could still write the kinds of stories he wants to, and he'd even get publishing help and monetary compensation.

>>159234105
I was fully expecting them to show kota trying to chase after her but not catching up.

>>159234824

Wasn't he criticized by that publishing agent of trying to write 'serious' fiction when there was virtually no demand for it?

Accepting that offer might not be conducive to productivity.

It wasn't confirmed he was a salaryman though. Maybe he was just wearing a business suit to a meeting.

No, fuck off.
The main guy was a little fagboy, the romance is cheesy as a brazilian soap opera, but even more awkward with little shit protag.
There weren't cute girls or fanservice either, so the target audience must be the same people who like said soap operas (or Doramas obviously for nips).

Those messages are just from random people and the drawings in epi 12 made to follow the scenarios. You can see in some of the examples the chat is from the boyfriend but they're showing akane, or vice versa.

They could have just been changing them over time. I'm considered weird by people because I always save contacts by their name, not as "Mom" or "Dad", but I've been led to believe it is normal to save contacts by their relationship to you and other such nicknames.

>>159235249
Are you an idiot?

>>159235292
Not even your mom and dad? I get the sentiment, I always save people under their full name, but I make exceptions for the immediate family. It would be weird to call my parents by their name.

If I had a girlfriend though, I'd definitely save her number as something cheesy.

>>159235289
>>159235308
Are you? The events do matchup nicely but it's obvious the chats itself are from random couples.
>>159235292
its way too inconsistent, especially if you can actually read the text.

>>159235370
>It would be weird to call my parents by their name.
Of course when referring to them in conversation and calling out to the person themselves I do call them "Mom" and "Dad". I just don't save the contact info like that, because I guess I don't want people seeing "Dad" on my phone's screen when I get a call in public or if someone has accessed my contacts then they know the most vulnerable targets that they can abuse by calling from my number right off the bat.

Also contact organization systems have a First Name, Last Name field organizational structure. I like following the system.

>>159235411
The point of the end scene is to show how their relationship gradually changed after the events of the show. The pictures show you important moments of their lives. The LINE™ names show how their relationship progresses over time and how they go from an innocent middle school relationship to being a married couple.

Why the hell would it make sense to show messages from any other couple in a scene like that?

The people in the chat don't have to be Kotarou and Akane. They could be entirely random couples, only that Kotarou and Akane also went from similar events to those described in the chats. Because as >>159235411 says, the couples talk in far too different ways. The dynamics between the couples are different and the kind of language they use is different too.

Are you me?

The language isn't different at all, if you don't know moon, stop commenting on it. The only thing that's different is the mood, which makes sense given that they're in different points in time. If you honestly think that it's random couples and not them, consider sterilizing yourself so that your defective genes don't get passed on.

I bet people who don't agree ED chat wasn't Akane and Koutarou is Chinatsufag.

Care to tell me in what way it's different and which episode?

>>159234433
3, 7, 8, 10, 12 all bordered perfection. I probably like 10 most, but I can admit that, even though crying over almost all episodes, the last 5 minutes of e12 completely destroyed me. That wasn't just shedding tears anymore, I actually uncontrollably cried from happiness.

I do know Japanese, friendo.

Episode 1, 彼氏さん ("Boyfriend") uses a lot of kaomoji, which Kotarou barely uses throughout the show.

Episode 4, 彼女さん ("Girlfriend") has one line where she says 女子かよ (Lit: "Are you a girl?") , which is a slightly rough and casual. It feels different from how Akane speaks in the show.

Episode 6, 彼女さん ("Girlfriend") says ウケるー (Lit: "Funny"), which is slangy, gyaru-like language. You can argue that it's used ironically, but then again Akane doesn't strike me as the sort of person to use irony.

Episode 8, ダーリン ("Darling"; ie. the boyfriend") speaks very brusquely and disses the girlfriend very directly with his もーおー ("moo") joke. Given how gentle Kotarou is with Akane this doesn't feel like him.

Episode 9, カレリン (some cutesy version of "boyfriend" it sounds like) says things like 早く良くなってください ("Please get better soon"), 早く寝てね ("Go to sleep soon, okay?"). The ください and 〜てね makes this out as being very gentle. It's a very strong contrast to, say the boyfriend of episode 6, who straight up tells his girlfriend ウケるな ("Not funny") using a rougher imperative form.

The language used in each conversation is different enough that you would suspect them to be different people. Of course, as >>159237409 points out, people do talk differently to each other at different points in time. That would support the theory that the people in the convos are Kotarou and Akane, but it doesn't disprove the theory that they're different people either.

Actually, what I think happened is this: they got different people to write the chats, which is why we get 彼氏さん using kaomoji in episode 1 but not in the other episodes, and why we get small textual differences like まじ being used in episode 9 but マジ being used in episode 11 (although perhaps this comparison is a little autistic). That would account for the mood differences between the chats.

>I do know Japanese, friendo.
Clearly not at any more than a very basic level, and you clearly don't talk to many Japanese people on Line either if you think any of what you just wrote constitutes different personalities. ウケるな isn't nearly as rough as you make it out to be, and is a normal retort in that situation. It's also completely normalized speech at this point in time, and no longer exclusively gyarugo. If she started saying とりま that would be one thing, but you don't know what you're talking about, friendo.

I mean, its just logical for people to behave diferently after they've rid themselves of their insecurities. Both of them were insecure throughout the entire show, but they realistically change over the following years. The LINE logs were obviously written like this on purpose to bait people. They wanted you to believe its them just so they could make you doubt later on, with out of character avatars and emojis. Its basically an elaborate version of the text previews, otherwise they'd straight up spoiler the ending and rid the show of its tension.

>>159238695
That's fair. I admit that my Japanese isn't native or anywhere near fluent. As you say, though, the mood is different, and that can result from their being either the same people at different points in time, or different people.

>>159238751
Maybe it's bait too, yeah, in which case we've just been led on a wild goose chase.

>>159238954
It's not about being at a native level, it's just clear that you don't actually interact with many Japanese people to see what constitutes a different personality or just being in a different mood. My 50 year old coworker uses ukeru, and she sure as hell isn't gyaru. Thinking ukeru is still really gyarugo and not just normalized slang (at least in kantou) means you don't really know a whole lot about how they talk.

>>159238954
Theyve always tried to make the viewers doubt, thats why people assumed that its different couples by e3. However, they also gave you hints to reassure you that it'll be alright, thats why the contact name in the log after e10 (iirc) literally is the nick of her potato plushie, so you knew the logs must be related to them, why else put this in? To me it was always clear that we'll get a happy ending because thats how the show was written, what the songs and ED implied, what the foreshadowing made clear (because those scenes were always stronger and more fleshed out than those of the naysayers in form of Akanes sister for example) but that didn't save me from feeling anxious. Quite frankly, I feel like the logs played a big role in holding the tension up.

Tawawa Monday. So you feel more empty because you won't be getting these moments with your girlfriend for the rest of your life.

I liked 10 because of the kiss scene and 12. I was afraid it would get a Shinkai ending but I'm glad it didn't happen.

The moment Koutarou said he will enter Koumei, it's the moment I feel proud to Koutarou.

I felt proud of him when he shouted "I love you!" when he was running after the train instead of writing it in LINE. The scene felt so powerful it ripped my heart.

OP, thank you for bringing this to my attention.
I needed this healing after cykacyka.
