God damn. I can’t believe it’s over. This show really got me good.
This is the first time a show I’ve followed on a weekly basis has left me in tears like this. With the pressures of student life and often futility of looking at the future, every week this show gave me some hope; something to strive for. It reminded me that it’s okay to dream, even if you aren’t sure where it will lead.
I’ll forever be thankful to Shion Miura for writing such a wonderful story with such vividly real characters. Kazuya Nomura and Production I.G did such a good job bringing this story to life, alongside the fantastic OST by Yuki Hayashi.
And thanks to rest of the fans out there. Experiencing that spark of joy every Tuesday with all of you, seeing everyone share their stories and hopes, I’ll never forget looking forward to that.
Although the show is over, the moutains of Hakone shall remain...
