I took a break from WoW and watched the last episode of Shuffle! yesterday. I lurve the ending.
Lots of spoilers ahead.
Asa-senpai runs away to the place where Rin confessed to her because she wants to see the place again before its too late. Rin finds her and asks her again to use magic so as to drain the magical powers that are bottling up in her human body and slowly killing her.
Asa-senpai~
Asa refuses once again, but this time Rin has a plan…
Blackmailing 101
He takes out a pen knife and slits his own wrist.
Remember kids: Mr. Razor crosses the road to get attention
but he goes down the street to do something
Shuffle! now lacks neither nudity nor blood and gore. Yay! Technically since he slits his wrist sideways by sliding the razor across, he shouldn’t be losing so much blood. It will at most leave a scar. The correct way to kill yourself is to press the razor downwards so that it digs into the flesh in a 45-degrees angle… But nevermind that.
Asa-senpai, pinch!
Asa watches Rin slowly lose consciousness. Rin contiunes to persuade her to use magic on his final breath…
Best. Scene. Ever.
She finally does so to save Rin. Her unbottled magical powers causes instant hair growth (?). And they live happily ever after.
From nekomimi to meganekko
All the girls, including Primula, still continue to like him. So even though Rin has chosen Asa, the most beautiful girls in school still lust after him and prepare bentou etc for him. Which means that the only difference between the ending and the beginning of Shuffle! is that Asa now has long hair! (Oh wait, Ama is going to help her cut it soon… nevermind)
Still, I love the ending. ^_^
LOL, thanks for the lesson on how to slit your wrists effectively ;).
Well, the ending was OK, but just the first half feels kinda rushed in a sense. And was it only me, or was the art really funny this episode?
no it’s not just you…Asa’s beautiful eyes were drawn real weird during the lunch time when she seemed to be in ‘shock’.
I enjoyed the ending a lot. And, yes, the last half seems to have been drawn differently. o.O; However, it was still a well done ending that asks: “How far will you go for love?” Certainly, love asks not only devotion and more, but courage as well. Rin definitely showed it in this episode. (AKA… “Blackmail 101” ~.^)
I think the ending was quite satisfying. Well, the second part was kinda different in the drawing but anyway the story is what I’m after. I just the concept of “I’d do anything for you” just like Rin showed towards Asa in order to save her….
Honestly .. eh. It was inevitable. I wanted him to end up with Kaede though .. but the story was definitely going towards Asa >.>
But no one would care for him more than Kaede *sigh*
I did want him to end up with Kaede, and I didn’t really like how emotionallyl unstable she turned out to be, but hey! I like Asa too~
Thanks for teachinhg us how to cut our wrists right =D I actually didn’t ever know that XD;;;
whats shuffle?
The ending was great, I always get this empty and sad feeling when a good anime as this ends. Somebody knows what I’m saying? I always get touched (No, dont think perverted) very emotical :|.
Anyone has that too? Please contact me if u like to talk about it ^^

lolsys….i didn’t read it because i just decided to wait and watch the whole series -_-…….but i took a look at the screen shots=
This’s the WORST ending I’ve ever watched…..
Best. Scene. Ever.
Worst. Scene. Ever.
That’s a shame though.
I wanted the Kaede ending.
what why would he not choose Kaede you konw the one who does everything for him and already acts like his wife, the one he started out with, that stupid horny traitorous bastard
Dissappointment…i hate this open ended conclusion nothing in the anime is finished and it has more loose ends that spaggeti (excuse my bad spelling)
1. ok rin picked a chic but they all still love him sooooo >_> ok so nobody has really givin up on him.
2. The ending was a bite extreme just guessing rin was willing to kill himself for asa and they only been dating for like 4 monthes top.
3. I wish people would stop with the whole kaede and sia lesbo thing. They kissed ON ACCIDENT im not saying the are not lesbos but we the viewer have no idea cuz they just stopped it.
I was hoping rin would date asa but they would break up on account of a stain on their friendship. After all I only think he picked asa is because ALL the girls was pushing him toward that direction. Kaede would have got him if she spoke up sooner. Asa would have most likey suduced im but i doubt that would last long. I though he should have ending with the flat chested chic (i forget her name)
Just wanted to end with this…Shuffle started out good and humorous like tenchi muyo, but then it became serious a little to serious to fast. Halfway through all the girls where facing their inner demon which is cool but..all at once? and yes the ending was anticlimatic as if the creator was trying to rush it on the view and whats the worst part…NO AFTER EPISODE! if you dont know what that it its a epidode right after the conclusion that gives closure, but like i said shuffles ending left so many loose ends it kind of confusing.
i agree with “NOSH” the ending leaves to many loose ends i wish that they did make a follow episode it would make things easier to understand ” with what happens after” its a shame really,
its a really good anime but they wrecked it with the ending and loose ends IMO XD
The issue I had with this anime is that there is almost no back history between Asa (Or that I noticed, only made it up to “Kaede chokes a ho” episode,) and Rin, minus the what, 2 years of high school? I can understand him rushing away from Sia and Nerine, due to their creepy fathers, but Kaede, even with her psychosis, or better yet, Mayumi who is shown to be a longer time friend would have made a better choice. The second half of the series (after the Primula rescue and Nerine’s return to normalcy,) was exceptionally rushed, and I can see where it is a relatively weak harem anime, when you take into consideration animes like Maburaho, Sister Princess, etc, that even though had weak endings (Maburaho’s ending was atrocious,) they had a more consistent storyline build up, and ended with the male choosing none so he could remain in his current friendship situation with the females, or choose the most obvious candidate after weighing everything.
I know Shuffle! was a great H-game, but not all H-games should be made into “regular” animes, nor should the most inconspicuous ending for the game be chosen. It was cute, I loved the beginning character building, but it just fell off near the end, and the ending was mediocre.
I cant understand who that young blonde haired girl is shown in the last ep in the diner opposite rin, i think it showed her once before in a previous ep with no context at all.
From wiki
Kareha
Kareha (カレãƒ, Kareha?)
Kareha is a god who is Asa’s friend and classmate; consequentially, the two are often seen together. She has a catchphrase of saying “Maa! Maa!! Maa!!!” (translated “oh! la!! la!!!”) whenever she sees something romantic or cute, and starts to daydream. She works a part time job as a waitress in the cafe that Rin and the other characters
or that could be Tsubomi her younger sister. Cant remember havent seen shuffle in a while
I like HOW it ended( with primula and Kaede running to the diner) but the stuff before that was just…well….there.
I could not believe how it ended. I was so sure he was ggoing to pick Sia. ThaThat’s what all the signs were pointing to. She seemed the most dedicated (not counting Kaede) I especially loved how he was always blushing around her and there background story. She learned the human language for him. Plus when they were trapped on that island they like totally almost kissed. I knew he wouldn’t pick Nerine because toward the end she started expanding and building a life outside of Rin. That’s how the show should have ended. Once he picked Asa instead of having all the girls still be madly in love with him they should have shown them moving on. Like Kaede could have been shown changing Rins room around. Because I think she needs to get used to being alone and take care of herself. Sia could have opened a bakery to show that all of her training didn’t go to waste. As for Primula, I’m happy she was there for Kaede but I don’t think she should be encouraging her to get Rin. My mom was a huge Kaede fan and was hoping they would get together but I knew they wouldn’t because Rin still thinks she only likes himout of guilt. I don’t think she was crazy for beating up Asa because Asa knew she liked him and still started dating him. Talk about a bad friend. Also that scene where Kaede is shown cleaning the house while Rin and Asa are laughing and having fun. When she started crying my mom cried to. I just felt so bad for her. Nerine never really loved him until towards the end wh
When he chose asa over everyone else, i basically turned into kaede when run said he killed her mother. I wanted to kill asa senpai because she gets on my last fucking nerves. tell me how someone who has really nothing to do with the plot for 3/4 of the anime come and run just picks her. it annoys the shit out of me. Sia is better in every way.
1.) asa will die in about 17 years because of her fragile health. main and only reason.
I absolutely hated the ending of the anime. It seemed rushed, but he picks not only the worst character of the show but one that would physically abuse him daily and mess with his emotions just for fun? I absolutely LOVED the anime until the last few episodes. Honestly, I wish I would’ve dropped it when I thought it was becoming horrible.
I didn’t like that he ended up with Asa either. He should have been with Kaede which is ho he ends up with in the manga. I was rooting for kaede the whole time & I don’t think Asa deserved him. And he should have picked Kaede she absolutely loves him.
I wish I was Rin so that I could’ve choose Kaede.
1 thing more can be said that, this show should have continued longer.
I mean why only just 24 episodes?
1.City Hunter
2.Nisekoi.
3.Taka… & 7 witches
4.Shuffle
These are the shows that are close to my heart. But due to lack of episodes I can’t watch them anymore.
Lmao this was great
