I've done it - I've watched the last DVD in this series, definitely one of my favorite anime series ever. To quote Darth Vader, "Nooooooo!" I'm so sad that it's over - I'm definitely going to have to watch it again, since every episode I've seen filled me with laughter and warmth. The episodes in this volume really wrap things up, especially since the girls finally graduate from high school. There are lots of events leading to graduation that were all funny and culturally interesting, such as visiting a shrine to pray to pass college entrance exams, giving gifts to their teacher on the last day of class, and a beautiful song the whole school sings to celebrate their education. Sakaki finally gets her dream when the iriomote cat they met on their school trip somehow finds its way to her so they can be together! There are lots of great studying scenes, when everyone gathers around the kotatsu (heated table), which always puts Osaka to sleep (and we get to see her truly bizarre dreams!). Everyone finally gets accepted into their colleges (Chiyo-chan will be studying in America, which would be an awesome sequel series!), and they all celebrate by going to an amusement park together, while I sat there with a big teary-eyed smile on my face. This DVD also includes a little "mini-movie" with some interesting film-quality animation as a bonus! I can't recommend this series enough, if you're a fan of heartwarming anime!Labels: anime, dvds
