I really liked the ending until the very last minute, but the very last minute totally killed it. I knew they would destroy it again with bringing Ichika back after she was gone for good.

Overall this eries was not as good as I hoped.
I loved the drama, but the comedy totally sucked.
Characterwise everyone was ok except for Lemon. Unlike everyone else I wouldve wished for her to not be in the anime since she destroyed a lot of good scenes (and the van was a totally horrible idea -.-).
The main negative point of this show is that sometimes things were totally ridiculous like people popping up whereever its convinient as if the whole cast were hardcore stalkers or Lemons stupid van.

6/10 from me, it couldve been far better.

That reminds me of something that nagged at me the whole time - they had a good reason for the protagonist's retro camera, that being that he found it in his parents' stuff.

... but absolutely none what so ever for Lemon's retro camera.

Yayyyy i finished watching this one too. This was a nice mushy series that tugged at you all the way till the last 10 seconds. While none of the individual concepts were new, it wrapped everything together nicely into a solid package. Rinon was such a troublemaker, and its no surprise that they used the mib bit after referencing it so many times and lemon being such an opportunistic troll. The ending felt a little rushed and there was an excessive amount of angst in the series, but it ended how a series like this should, on a happy heartwarming note. Im also gonna dock points for the use of a black turtleneck, thick glasses, and a retro camera to try to make it "cool and unique." I think the series coulda been a bit better if kanna didnt run away after saying something all the time too. Geez girl, you dont give people the chance to talk!

8/10, i like sappy animes that end well

I have to agree the series overall was very good but the ending tying everything together with Lemon-Chan being MIB was great!!!


Also the fact that Tetsurō's sister husband is MIB explains alot especially the fact that Tetsuro's sister and lemon knew each and Lemon's commment "forever seventeen"

But the best quote of the last episode was tetsuro's sister and Kanna in the car being chased and she yells for her husband to save her because "this thing is going to rape me"

Okay so this whole series was kind fo a side story of a cerain MiB agent Lemon afterall. Although if you ask me it does explain a whole lot of things as to why they were pulling a bit of a running gag from that setup though.

In any case it fully explains as to how Lemon was at the right place at the right time most of the time. Not only that, but how she had the right equipment for the job as well.

Anyways prety much the ending was to be expected along with the ending at the end of the credits as well. As for cute alien girl series it was an okay series, granted it was mostly all about that one summer that they all had together.

I believe they did spell it out the first time it came up.

EDIT: Barbo checked the wiki faster than I did

EDIT2: The new MiB movie trailer makes it look amazing btw.

It was a comic first from the early 90's, but after some googling apparently the MIB mythos, ie a secret organization dealing with UFOs and the like in black attire, goes back to the 50's and 60's too.

That was an awesome ending. From the random MIBs to the movie review to the subtle finale with it's callback quote.

On MIB: Isn't MIB a comic first, movie later? The comic companies have been working with Japan here and there in recent years, ne?

I totally agree....was indeed a fun series and one of my favorites from the Winter season. Loved how it all played out and was always left satisfied with how the character development was rendered, the love turmoils and angst resolved...great! Great! Great! My favorite character of course, the great and everlasting, Lemon-chan! I knew all along that my girl was MIB...she reeked of it and knowingly let on she let on. Not one bit surprised she turned out to be who she said she was from the get-go though the gang scoffed at her but I knew. I will say it again and with gusto! Lemon-chan! You are the creme in my coffee! 9/10
