Had they been aiming for a bittersweet ending, it should have been the opposite - Teiichi should have been unable to accept that Yuuko might leave, and Kirie should have told him to accept reality. ![]() The biggest indication of this was the argument between Kirie and Teiichi in episode 11, where Teiichi is ready to accept that Yuuko is gone, and Kirie tells him that he’s only doing it because he’s scared. The bittersweet bit in the final episode was just a feint the plot up to that point was leading up to a happy ending. ![]() I see a lot of people objecting to the happy ending, and I have to disagree with them. What do you guys think about that? How was Tasogare Otome for you guys? Maybe a happy ending once in a while isn’t so bad?Īll in all, still worth the anticipation. But after lulling about it more I remembered a post I read from another ani-blogger about how bittersweet endings seem to be a fad nowadays. At first I didn’t know why they did that, unless of course that’s how the manga would actually do it as well. Until they pulled a fast one on us and gave us a “happy” end (the Super Peace Busters will not be pleased). And it would have been a nice, memorable end… He was ready to live a life without Yuuko for the sake of keeping his promise. It would seem that days had past when that happened, but Teiichi survived. The two share a last kiss, and just like that, Yuuko was gone. Yuuko’s last request was to be forgotten, so that Teiichi would be able to live a normal life, and he was ready to commit. The dialogue, although simple, was heavy-hitting. This was THE tearjerker (plus, the insert song “Requiem” was awesome-tier beatiful) I didn’t notice when, but at one point in this scene my hands were just covering my mouth. Sitting side by side, the two communicate through Momoe’s journal one last time. The place was a wreck (thanks to Teiichi) but that didn’t stop them from reminiscing all the fun times the Paranormal Investigations Club have had. ![]() With Yuuko in the process of transcending the physical world, she and Teiichi roam around Seikyou Academy one last time, before heading to the place where the first met – the storage room we know all too well. Yuuko didn’t want it to come to this, ’cause she knows how sad it’ll make Teiichi, but deep down I think she wanted her “last moments” to be beside him as well. She planned to just break up with Teiichi in a professional, “this is just how it is” manner, but c’mon, what kind of guy would want that? If there wasn’t a way to make her stay, Teiichi wanted to be with her until the end. It happened again with Yuuko’s chopsticks. She was beginning to fade away. We first saw this in episode eleven, when her charm bracelet “phased through” her. She became a regular high schooler having the time of her life with the man she loves.īut I think we all knew, or at least felt, what was gonna happen next (it was very AnoHana like, actually). That scene was really sweet, and it showed how different Yuuko is now that she’s regained herself. We see the “final date”, so to speak, between the two – doing things that they haven’t gotten around to doing yet (I know what you thought about), like eating lunch together as a couple for the first time. ![]() The time when Yuuko passes on, and Teiichi lives his life normally again.įor the most part that’s what we got. In Tasogare Otome’s case, this was the episode where Teiichi and Yuuko finally meet the inevitable end of their happy time together. The one after the epic confrontation scene (and how cool was episode 11 eh?) where we get, like, a cold opening and some closure and stuff. In its entirety the episode did its job well. Going by that I’m sure you guys know what I’m talking about, but I’ll save that for later. Dusk Maiden of Amnesia closed its curtains this week among other shows, and being one of Spring’s more drama-inclined titles (typing that, I realize there isn’t really much drama going around) it stands to reason a bit that it would send us off with a few tears, and in us guys’ case, manly tears.
