SAKI IS LOVE!!!
I've rated this title Very Good. Arggh, Spring 2014 was a strong season for me and now that it's wrapping up I feel like I'm saying good-bye to some treasured friends all at once. Anyway, I look forward to the sequel "Two Week Friends" as well as the spin-off series, "Saki & Friends" which I hope runs longer than One Piece and Case Closed combined. |

Episode 12
A very sweet ending to a very sweet anime, strangely was not as melodramatic as I expected. I really am not sure what to rate it, I would give it either a high "Very Good" or a low "Excellent", as I think thematically it did very well, but I don't feel it as awesome ground-breaking as others could be. I think that I will go with a high Very Good, it is a must watch, something I was always looking forward to watch, even if it did nothing awesome. Saki is absolutely adorable, and I think it was good to see an extra earnest side this episode. Multiple characters had their adorable side, Hase trying hard to help her, Fujimiya happy over the little things, and maybe even some of Shogo's embarrassed side. I can kind of feel Blood- comment about saying goodbye to friends. The artwork was also very pastel which I am not usually a big fan of, but I quickly liked this. |

To be honest, I found the ending to be very disappointing. :/
Maybe the manga has more to offer.... |

Why? If I had to guess I'd say that you were probably hoping for a more "romantic" ending, but I don't want to put words in your mouth. |

No, you're right.
But I also felt like nothing was resolved. It's not like that ruins the show though. It was a very cute anime. |

Just about to start it so I'll let you know how it goes
This is one series I'm happy to see end without much being resolved. For the problems she had I think as 12 episode series would be too short for a realistic resolution and it probably would have been more of a let down as the series hasn't finished. I will be damned if I have to see another ridiculous finale like Blue Exorcist's - would have been better to leave it as a cliff hanger

Isn't being warned by the mother that spoiler[her father might hurt him] super romantic? I assume that is what was meant when she said that spoiler[she might've needed to call an ambulance]. Or maybe it was spoiler[about risk of heart attack], I am not sure.

I don't think that's quite true. To me, the dramatic question posed by the show was, "Will Fujimiya and Hase become true and lasting friends?" The show demonstrated various obstacles to the successful resolution of that question. Ultimately, the answer to the question posed was, spoiler["yes."] The second dramatic question posed by the show was, "zomg, can Saki BE any cuter???" The answer there was, "no, Saki can be none more cuter."

True enough. I guess I'm frustrated that there was no official romance despite being ship-teased to hell and back. Teasing is fine...but when there's no pay-off at the end, I get mad. If you're not gonna put them together, don't tease me! It's like holding a treat above a puppy's head and then putting it back in the box. :[
Kaori's source of trauma was a let-down as well. They built it up like something really awful happened...and then....."nope, not really. Just little girls being bratty." *sigh* |

The main question this series posed to me was whether people really do add sugar to their eggs?
As someone who does not really like romantic comedy shows this one entered the 'zomg why are these characters so god damn adorable' catergory. Bloody cuteness overrides my usual cynical pessimist demeanour. I rate the show as good, I would have preferred one of the two couples getting together but I have have gotten used to a lack of resolution of this kind in anime. |

They sure do. I always put both white and brown sugar on my fried egg sandwiches. |

Short answer to this, is spoiler[no] The manga and anime are spoiler[more or less the same, with the only real difference being that things are slightly out of order in the anime. Actually, a few of the cute moments in the series were much cuter in the manga]. I really enjoyed this series at first, which is why I almost immediately began reading the manga translations. Butspoiler[ I find that the series goes nowhere very quickly. It was a good premise and start, but it lost its way (and if there is one thing you should never do, it's loose your way). There is no resolution so far, and really there are no signs for a resolution.] The main pairing is really uninteresting too. I'm more interested in Saki and K |
