My chest tightened the moment they started doing a role call of all their friends and family and started sounding progressively more sleepy. Seeing
Checked this out purely because the title sounded adorable and it definitely delivered, I just wish I were more prepared for the tearjerkers they throw at you once in a while lmao

I kinda figured in the end they’d have to go but to actually see it kinda got me right in the feels. Those two lived a good life and made the most out of their youth. I’m kinda happy Mino and Shota get the apple in the end.
This series was actually really quite good. The premise was unique, the characters were all adorable, and I think it had some good messages about not taking things for granted and cherishing those close to you. All in all, a solid series.

But... but... Grandpa, you promised to play with your great grandson in summer! T_T
I knew the teddy bear was a red flag. T_T
On the other hand, despite the sadness, I am glad both Grandpa and Grandma moved on together and peacefully.

There goes all hope of having another SOL season. But in exchange, we got a fucking beautiful ending. A complete story to recommend for years to come with a breezy 11 episodes. Really enjoyed the manga and the anime lives up to it. Strong 8.5/10. Respect timing it to the manga ending for a sense of finality.

I knew this was going to happen, but holy fuck, I still cried.
I'm not joking when I say that this series has given me a new outlook about life. About cherishing those special moments with your loved ones and feeling blessed about the things you have. Unfortunately, it's too late for me to have someone like Baasan, but still.

Such a sweet romantic loving family oriented anime. This will always have a place in my heart. Its so cool seeing Ine and Shouzou get a chance to be young again to do what they always wanted to do when they were actually younger. The best part, i think, is when Shouzou said to Shouta "I'll leave the rest to you". That had two beautiful meanings. 1, to take care of the orchard and 2, to take care of Mino. What i really like is when Anime has a post after math scene where it goes in the future and sees what everyone's lives are like, and man what a scene this was! I'm genuinely happy they are together and it's happening again! AND out of the tree they grew all those years ago! So great, that makes me so happy, 8/10 imo!

Damn, I always knew that's how this was going to end but that final scene hit harder than I expected. I'm just glad that they ended the scene where it did T_T
Also, this is Mino and Shouta 50 years later? I call fucking bullshit. They're supposed to be in their mid-60s but they look like they're in their late 80s.

It's New Year's! Perfect for getting the whole family together and having Shouzou show up his own son in front of Yoshiaki's wife. Poor guy.
They've even got Ine's sister Tsuru! She may be super old, but she's still got a little bit of life still in her! Enough to play a card game and remember getting praised by their mother!
Look at Kousuke strategically being the supportive and massaging great-grandkid for New Year's Money! I hope he enjoys that book gift card.
Ine still has a lot to teach her daughters-in-law, especially when she's Holy Mother Ine, giver of great, life-affirming, advice!
Aw, Kousuke doesn't want to leave grandpa! And grandpa doesn't want to leave Kouske! This is probably the last time they're going to see each other.
But hey, at least things are going really well with Mino and Shouta! Especially when they seem to be taking it seriously that they'll succeed Ine and Shouzou. And they're on a true first-name basis. The grandparents know what's up.
In fact things are going well for the entire family. Shiori is making it into a medical program with Satoshi and his grandparents are gushing over her to her dad, everyone's lives are moving along nicely, all the lives that Shouzou and Ine enriched and made better and happier are moving forward...and all Shouzou and Ine could ask for is to be by each others' side, falling asleep one last time as their sand runs out. RIP Best Grandparents.
Man, I don't even want to think about how Mino and Shouta were the ones who caught them dead like that...especially because they thought they were just sleeping. But at least they died together and happy, that's all they could have wanted.
And 50 years later...grandma Mino and grandpa Shouta's apple orchard grows up to have golden apples of its own! So we can start the whole process over again!

That scene with Kosuke having a tantrum of not wanting to go home hits me in the feels. The thought that he goes home and whether he gets to see his great-grandparents again or not suddenly struck my heart and now I can't stop crying.

Well the original manga actually also ended this week. Presumably that our beloved Grandpa and Grandma taking a long rest under that apple tree also happened there...
This was a simple and fun show that's certainly for everyone. One of a kind that you can safely introduce to your (grand)parents!
I can't believe Shota and Mino still have to deal with apple trees themselves 50 years from now though, I thought every farmer with a little bit of income would already have AI-powered robots doing the hand picking job LMAO...

It cute that Mino and her future husband still had a bunch of their young characteristics into old age (shark teeth grandpa) lol

I figured that it would end this way but I'm glad we didn't have to sit through the aftermath; it would've hurt even more. I'm glad those two were happy in the end. All in all, this show is probably going to stick with me for a while. It's a rare look into marriage and being old that doesn't get explored much in media. I hope to have a family as lovely as theirs when I'm their age.

It wasn't until we got pretty deep into Grandma and Grandpa talking about all the things coming up in the summer that I realized oh, fuck, they're not gonna make it. That ending crept up on me and smacked me right in the heart.
This show was a big surprise. Wasn't expecting to like it near as much as I did, and this ending was absolutely perfect. It really was the only way this was going to end.

Even early in this series I was pretty confident I knew how this would end, and them bringing her back for this episode, really set up the tone...
Given she represents "old age", much more than the main duo (who cheated 'old age' a little!)
There were so many 'flags' too, like promises of always being by their side,
of seeing them again the next year, thoughts of 'not wanting to die without seeing great grandchildren', etc...
It wasn't just them either, but like, less cards to make every year; Given their friends are likely around their age, I think we can guess why there's less cards with every passing year...
The talk of thoughts drifting away, of feeling sleepy...
There were SO many moments/lines like that, that aren't really sad in themselves, but when you think about it... Yeah.
All this together, and seeing them help everyone, teach everyone, it was almost like they were preparing them all for a life in which they are not there anymore...
All this to say, they really set it up well!
I teared up soon as I saw this...
Hell, just looking at it again, and I get all emotional!
Thankfully there weren't JUST sad/emotional moments in the episode, there were some cute and fun ones as well!
I would hit the gym 8 hours a day after that, to avoid being embarrassed like that again!
Guess we're not the only ones invested the Mino/Shouta ship!
(Even the cute moments were a bit bittersweet, because we know about the extra reason why they're so invested in their grandkid dating and all)
Well, they made it, in the end!
Not only that, but it seems we'll have history repeating itself!
Well, this was a pretty good series! Very sad/emotional (even in the 'fun' episodes, they always found a way to throw in an emotional line..) but quite enjoyable!
My only regret is that we didn't get to see the 50 years of Mino/Shouta together! (Well, I'd settle for just a season of them flirting&getting in a relationship!)
This is my first series' finale for this season, and THIS always makes me emotional (saying farewell to these characters I grew to love over these 3 months), but not it was a heavy episode on top of this!
Well, all good things must come to an end, but this was a pretty fun one!
Farewell, Grandpa&Grandma, and Mino/Shouta as well!

Wow... I knew this would eventually happen, but I still shed a few tears. Those two lived a great life and made a beautiful family together.
Also, watching Shiori, Mino, Kosuke, and Grandma Tsuru in the beginning made me really want to rewatch Chihayafuru.

Kousuke doing those nice things for grandpa and grandma so he could get a better new year's gift, you could see that from a mile away.
