Sounds like Mai-Hime [THEY'RE NOT ded] premise...

FINAL EPISODE, OMG!!!!

First half.

I sort of knew that Rin would slash his wrists in order to force Asa to use her magic, but GEEZ! I was like cringing like hell at that moment when Rin did that (just like the first time I watched Elfen Lied). Asa with long green hair was pretty cool though.

Now the second half....

...the animation fell into insulting levels; the off-model character designs were very noticible and jarring. Luckily, the material in the second half was mostly epilouge stuff with more funny moments with the girls. Rin and Asa may be a great couple, but the other girls won't give up on obtaining his love.

Oh yeah, that frame in the ED sequence with Kaede and Sia.......YES!!!!!

Overall, it's quite impressive considering that Shuffle! didn't fall into those cliched harem conclusion where it's ridiculiously open-ended. The girls got enough screentime, and the choices made are very valid (of course your mileage may vary depending how you like it). Not to mention this is defientely a drama rollercoaster with events that's just plain screwed up.

Great series! Recommended for people who wants something different in a harem romance series.

Amen to that...

Very smart and VERY nerve wracking moments there in this ep. Dual tongue twister in the end credit was VERY nice too...

Still, I don't think I'll be getting it despite the lukewarm happy ending. It just seems like there should be a 2nd series... [and if there is B00YAH AGAIN]

Well, the producers could pull a Green Green and have an OVA sequel that's all hentai (with emphasis on THOSE TWO).

THAT would be nice.....

Anyways, that was a good ending, but I really hope they make more, I wanted more romance with Asa and Rin. And to see if Sia's polygamy (sp?) theory would ever work out. I also this Mayumi and Itsuki should go out.

Hmm...a surprisingly good anime!
It started out as an avarage harem-anime, but it managed to break through cliches!

I liked every girl, but my fav would be Primula... ^^

All I wanted was a happy harem show. And I got a.... bunch of psychotic freaks. KGNE and Monster have nothing on this show. One could call this Rin: War of The Fanatics. R:WTF. I think the real victim is this show though, is god. Nobody feeds the poor guy. His daughter's a whackjob and he can't cook.
