She kinda did..

which makes it hard to make a vid about her with a serious lack of good clips ><

After knowing the ending, rewatching the series gives a new way of looking at all the Ayu monologues that appear in episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, and 12. It's pretty awesome.

Sure, I had them all typed up and compiled for another forum anyway...

I basically just took down everything spoken by Ayu's dream voiceover. Sub was done by a.f.k.

Episode 1:
Spoiler :
(scene: little Yuuichi crying against the sunset in the forest)
Dreaming...
I'm dreaming...
A dream I have every day...
A dream with no end...
Red snow...
A world stained red...
Against the sunset sky, a small child was crying.
I wanted to at least wipe away the tears he shed.
But my arms wouldn't move...
The tears streaming down his cheeks disappeared into the snow.
I could only watch in vain...
In sorrow...
It'll be fine.
So...don't cry.
I promise.
I wonder who those words belonged to.
The dream fades to a different color...
It's a promise.
Episode 2:
Spoiler :
(scene: hospital window)
A dream...
I'm in a dream...
The same one as always...
An endless cycle of the same scenery...
As I slowly drift into slumber, I wish for only one thing...
After I've closed my eyes, the next time I open them, I'll be able to see a different scene.
Episode 3:
Spoiler :
(scene: falling snow in the forest and city)
A dream...
I wonder when I realized this was a dream...
A long time ago?
Or just a few minutes ago?
Even that answer is clouded within my dream...
Knowing not even if time is passing, I dream that I will one day awaken...

Episode 4: (scene: the forest)
Dreams...
Dreams must come to an end...
No matter how fun the dream is...
No matter how scary the dream is...
Snuggled beneath my warm blankets, as Mom shakes me awake, the dream is interrupted.
The same morning scenery as always.
But now, I wonder when dreams stopped coming to an end...
Episode 5:
Spoiler :
(scene: little Ayu sitting on the bench in front of the station)
Dreaming...
I'm dreaming...
A dream where I'm waiting for someone...
As I hear the sound of the traffic in the distance...
I sit on a small bench all by myself...
Waiting for someone who won't come...
Hour after hour...
Day after day...
And year after year...
Episode 6:
Spoiler :
(scene: little Yuuichi crying in the forest)
The dream...
The day the dream began...
The sunlight trickling through the branches was bright...
The snow against my skin was cold...
And...a small child was crying.
Even now, I am unable to recall the child's face...
(no more Ayu dreams during Makoto's arc)

Episode 11:
Spoiler :
(scene: sky, clouds, and snowfall)
Dreams...
The day dreams stopped ending...
The usual routine...in the usual place...
Always having to wait...
Unable to do anything else...
That is why...I still continue to wait.
Episode 12:
Spoiler :
(scene: little Ayu sitting on bench in front of station)
A dream...
I'm in a dream...
I hear things...
Far away...
Nearby...
They echo like repeated ripples...
Grown-ups walking around in a rush...
who never notice the small figure sitting on the bench...
(no more Ayu dreams during Mai's arc and Shiori's arc)

Episode 23:
Spoiler :
(scene: aerial shot of city)
Dreaming...
I'm dreaming...
The beginning of another dreary day...
Wishing for a morning that never ends...
And then...I return to the same dream...
Spoiler :
(scene: hospital window)
Red...
White...
Cold...
Warm...
Sad...
And then...it's the beginning of another dreary day...
I'd already realized many years ago...
As I drift through this endless dream wishing for a dawn that will never come...
Spoiler :
(scene: little Ayu sitting on bench in front of station)
I'm always in the same place...
Busy streets devoid of sound...
Faceless people pass before me...
No one takes notice of the little figure sitting on the bench.
I'm waiting for someone...
Someone who I know won't come...
Someone who I know I will never see again...
Year after year...after year...
I've waited...in this repeating dream...for a dawn that will never come...
But...
(Yuuichi and Nayuki scene goes here)
Spoiler :
(scene: beautiful snow falling on important areas in the city, before ending with little Ayu on bench with angel doll)
Dreaming...
The day the dream ends...
Like snow melting in the spring sunlight...
Like faces eroding as people age...
Like memories fading away in the eternity of time...
My very long dream now comes to an end...
Granting one last wish...
One little wish...
My wish...is...
Episode 24:
Spoiler :
(scene: Yuuichi and friends care for comatose Ayu)
Dreaming...
I'm dreaming...
The person I love is next to me and talking to me...
Telling me about all kinds of things...
About the cousin he hadn't seen in seven years...
A fox cub who became a human...
A mysterious girl who visited the school courtyard every day...
A girl who fought demons...
And...a childhood friend he reunited with under a twilight sky...
Dreaming...
I'm dreaming...
Of being next to the person I love...
Of days passing by so naturally...
Fragments of that dream come to me again and again and slowly fill my heart...
Like fragments of falling snow covering the town in white...
Spoiler :
(scene: changing seasons montage)
I loved the changing scenery.
Winter.
A town of dancing snow.
I loved running through the shopping district leaving behind fresh footprints.
Spring.
A town of melting snow.
I loved to scoop up snow from the small piles next to the trees.
Summer.
A town that's forgotten the chill of snow.
I loved to gaze at the hazy town from under my umbrella.
Fall.
A town heralding the arrival of snow.
I loved to catch those tiny white crystals falling from the clouds in the sky on the palm of my hand.
And the season turns to winter.
The season of snow.
The season where the whole town is covered in white.
I loved the changing scenery.
But like water frozen into snow, my time had stopped...
in this square room...
in a time without seasons...
I was always alone...
Again and again...
I would see the same scenery in my dream...
myself to...a neverending night...
But...little by little...
night began to break...
Spoiler :
(scene: awakened Ayu and Yuuichi meeting at the station. Yes, I'm counting this because it still uses Ayu's dream voice)
I was starting to feel a little sad...
He stood before me.
I don't know how long it will take...
But, I have all the time in the world!

I just watched the whole series this past week. All I can say is amazing... I'm actually toying with an amv idea for all of the girls, but I'm not quite sure whether the song I have fits, and if it does, whether I could pull it off adequately...

Yeah...just watched it ALL tonight. (I actually just finished) >.>

I told myself I'd go to bed after the 4th episode, but that didn't happen by a long shot. It's been such a long time since I've seen a good harem anime and this one brought back my love for ones that are well-made. Very good stuff; sad, funny, and cute to the extreme. There's definitely a vid idea or two with this one...mebbe. :P

Man..just finished downloading this today, started watching, didn't stop..and now I've got nothing to do over summer without my internet..I have to say, this is probably the only tear-jerker anime I've actually cried to. I'm a guy, and I have to say, this and Elfen Lied are my all-time favourites. I don't care about action that much anymore, cause I could just go hit myself with a stick or something dumb like that for an adrenaline rush, can't experience something that brings a tear through emotion rather than pain, all that easily. There was a lot of foreshadowing as to what was going on, but I was skipping the 'dream' scenes at the beginning because I thought they were all the same stuff, like the opening. Definately worth a few more days of my life to re-watch, not saying much there with the way things are going right now though. :roll:
Huh?

...watch the original one if you wanna cry :O

I felt it's ending (the Ayu arc) was a bit more emotional in the original series.
