Too bad I'll never have children, I'd love being the father of a cute little Inaba.

I really did not realize that the kids at the beginning of the episode were Iori, Yui and Aoki. When I finally did, my brain exploded from the adorableness. On another note, I don't see how this'll end satisfactorily in one episode. I'm not saying its going to be bad, but I'm prepping myself for feeling like there should've been more.

Doesn't this have 13 episodes?

Doesn't this have 13 episodes?

That's what I've read.

The ED clearly shows Taichi in his younger form, but the fact that he's not written on the board suggests it's not the intentions of Heartseed #1 (assuming he's behind this) to reverse his time, though #2 seems to think it's possible. The ED song seems too "cool" for this show, but that's alright.

Well, I guess that Heartseeds can always have Taïchi think he'll not regress and still do it to make fun of him.

That can happen. I'm guessing either Taichi doesn't have any childhood trauma (unlikely), or he's got one so severe/unique that he'll have to wait his turn and have everybody supervise/"cure" him when he regresses (more likely).

The teenage Iori is pretty frightening, being able to manipulate the current Inaba. She still does not hold a candle to loli Inaba's explosive moe though.

This show ending is going to be extremely heartrending for me.

^^ I liked the old sig better.

Wait, does the mention of the next arc in the last part mean that there is a second season?

I haven't heard of any confirmation.

I suppose that ending was satisfactory. It didn't feel like we covered enough to have some sort of fulfilling ending fit for a true finale. Maybe if the series ended on one of the first two Heartseed events it would have felt a bit more "complete".

"Four additional episodes will be released in March and April 2013 on DVD and Blu-ray Disc." from Wiki

And here we have the true end, and an amazing ending it will be. I just finished reading the 4th volume of the light novel, and I can't wait to see it animated.

Couldn't have asked for a better New Year.

Oh wait, there's also Nekomonogatari Kuro...

You've been the bearer of good news these past couple of days. Thanks dude.

Well damn, those episodes are better than everything that came before, making for a wonderful end. I nearly choked while laughing when Iori started putting Inaban in her place in that first episode (episode 14). I'm a big fan of the new Iori, which frankly is really the same as the old Iori, minus the self-censoring. I also kind of feel bad that she didn't end up with Taichi, but by the time all of this was done, it just wouldn't have made sense for either of them.

[Idealistic]

I thought we weren't getting these til spring or something? Not complaining though!

That was an awesome ending.

[shinta|hikari]

Dereban.

Nuff said.

[David75]

A real life Inaban, 10 years older, would be a major SexNuke A weapon of mass seduction

[shinta|hikari]

A real life Inaban, 5 years younger, would be...

Great.

I really love how this show manages to make sappy drama scenes interesting, funny, and even touching. The way it is weaved into the supernatural phenomenon is done well, and even if the ideas aren't exactly original they properly executed.

It is also good how the previous arcs actually changed the characters. Taichi probably changed the least, but even then, he has become a lot less stubborn and finally managed to admit to his feelings for Inaba. The old him would never do that just out of a false sense of loyalty towards his old love.

[Uchiha Barles]

I realize that's probably a troll, but even so...it's chilling.

I think the thing about Iori is that his feelings were actually real, but for an Iori that didn't really exist as he knew her. I don't think it was a sense of loyalty. What did make it seem that way though was the fact that Iori was doing a lot of pulling away from him while Inaba was doing everything she could to get closer to him. It would've been interesting to see how things developed if Iori had sought to improve her relationship with Taichi in a similar way. It would be an unhealthy prospect to say the least though, considering the deception she was perpetrating.
