Hmm, well this ends one of the most highlighted series this season. Final thoughts: I liked this. Nanaka's speech sums it all up. The ending wasn't quite as emotional as Shuu's leaving IMO, but it ends well nonetheless. As David says, it explains a lot of things. Who started the fire, why Nanaka saved the violin, but never played it again, and confirms our accurate guess of what's underneath Sana's watch. Also did the "ten years later" thing that I suspected. Asami wanted to save the national park in place of Shuri. Speaking of Shuri, I found it strange that they're still holding hands ten years later. I thought it was an emotional kinda thing that happened because they didn't want to be separated, but now, they're like, late 20s. Maybe they really DO have a thing for each other. If that's the case, then it adds a bit more meaning to why Shuu kept looking at his sister when asked about his ideal woman. I'd say this ending did do the series justice, unlike some other ones of late, and earns itself a high rank in my books.
