Hiromi definitely had a nice crossover, and pretty good rebounding for a guard (I am assuming she is a guard since she brings the ball up on every possession). Tomoyo, on the other hand, is practically just a groupie. Tomoyo has shown herself to be a slow/poor passer, a poor shooter, and a lazy student.

^Thats pretty much what swung it for me as well.

The Tomoyo moment was lulz, Hiromi made a crossover that’d make Iverson gush then threw a Steve-Nash-like no look only to have Tomoyo clunk it like Eric Snow - I’m assuming Hiromi tips it in. If so that possession pretty much describes 08 Cavaliers (wait what blog was this again).

Basketball rant aside I thought Noe got more of the spotlight in the final episode. It was nice conclusion but I’d like to see a Hiromi-centric OVA.

Shinichiro is more of a dancer than a singer.

And Hiromi actually won me over because of her basketball skills. That was the sole reason I began rooting for her.

I could have done without the singing myself but I suppose you take the “melo” with the “drama.” Overall, just a great series.

You know, when Hiromi first said no to going out, for a second I thought we were getting a “SHIN GETS NO ONE” ending and laughed aloud.

I disagree that a Noe ending would have been bad all around, because a Noe ending would have been written differently. It could easily have gone the other way, and been a relatively happy ending for everyone, and for much the same reason that this ending worked so well.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series, even if my precious Noe had to go the hard way to get her happy ending.

Thanks everyone who contributed to all the various discussions. Noe fans, don’t be too sad. Hiromi fans, don’t rub it in. Hiromi herself avoided that, so you damn well can.

The final episode was a fitting end to a series which showed a lot of promise in the beginning but ultimately puttered out at the end. It was by no means bad, but I feel a bit of sadness at what could have been had the ending not just sort of trailed off until the final episode.
