Excellent epilogue of an excellent series. Overall, I’d really rate this as high as the first season: both have their own points at which they stood out: the first season really had an awesome climax with the second match. The second season in its turn trumped it with an even greater attention to detail. It’s a shame, because it really would have been superior if it weren’t for the limited episodes.
In any case, this episode stood out in that conversation between Mihashi and Abe. It was very genuine, it developed the relationship between them, it showed what kind of development has occurred between them through the past season. It’s great to see that the creators really took their time to show that particular scene.
One part I also loved was the very end, at that clip show in which we see how every character spends his evening. I was surprised at how much it added to their characters by showing in what kinds of homes they live.
In any case, even though a third season will be unlikely, my eyes are still upon aniplex here, thanks to news messages as this. It’s very interesting to see a producer company being headed by the founder of an animation company, and this might bring in even more interesting potential for Aniplex’s future.
Rating: ** (Excellent)
NO DONT END IT!!! Come on Aniplex you must continue it..
I think as long as the manga continues Oofuri will. I mean, it took 3 years for the second season to arrive. It still arrived in the end. And I’ll keep hoping that this will happen again. (but without the compression… I want the details! XD)
