The scene at 2:55 always makes my heart sink, even a decade later. 💔

You know what's more sad about this? It's about HOW MUCH Kurugaya loved Riki. I still haven't watched the anime but in Visual Novel.... She really tried to fight the fate: -She literally carried the "world" by herself for so long just to be with Riki, which even Kyousuke couldn't maintain it by himself. -Even when she started to forget everything, she still choosed to be with Riki. -And that ending when she smiled while playing the piano, she was there sitting there for a long long time waiting for Riki.

I cried so hard watching this anime especially when this scene happened...it was like a feels slap to my face...NOOOOOOOO KURIGAYA DON'T GO...

When you don't want to cry, but you did 😭😭😭 I was expecting a kiss too 😭😭😭

when you get your waifu dissapeared

When the ship didn't go as planned.

「運命はもう変えられないのだから」 この言葉、かなり重いですよね。そして皆に守られ支えられ、強くなった2人がその運命さえ変えてしまうんですから、泣くなっていうほうが無理でしょう…

in my life watching Animes this anime and this part made me cry the mosssst

"I wanted more to know how it fells to love." That hurt.

It's been almost 7 years since i saw this scene and now i still cry a lot 😭

I cried like a lil bitch when I seen this her smile at the end of the credits have me on the verge every time. Loved this anime so much. I even message their facebook and asked why this happened and they said it will all be worked out in the end. and that it was a big part of the story.

周りからロボットとか言われるほど感情ない少女がここまで表現豊かになるなんて、本当に充実した毎日だったんだね

She protec she atac more inportantly SHE AINT COMIN BAC :.(

When the drop of the song happens at 3:03 with the episode ending and the credits playing, it's soul crushing. Like it's referencing Kurugaya and Rikis relationship coming to an end just like the episode did.

改めてみるとリフレインの伏線の塊だったんだよなぁ 具体的には謙吾がヒロイン化したような感じ

I remember crying in the public when i watched this eps. I love her since i start watching this anime. No shame about it. People would cry if the one they love leave them. So do i

*WHY DID BEST GIRL HAVE TO GO FIRST??!*

After re watching the series 3 times, playing the VN like 100 times to get all the content, it has past 2 years since I last saw something related to LB , but this still brings the feels. The music, the goodbye, my one-san T.T.... Damm even tho it was wayyyyyyyy sadder in the LN this is painful to watch still

こんなん反則やん…何度見ても涙が出る

Roses are red, My heart is faulty, Yuiko is gone, And my tears taste salty.

It's so good im crying this is so cool!

One by one have leave you, and you can't do anything about that I know how you feel. I want to cry but I Can't

I’m glad i saw the ending first, it kinda reminds me of angel beats i cried ahhhh please more seasons for this and angel beats ;-;

Makes so much sense now

the first time song for friends play, god, still tears me in half...

Cómo es posible que un dibujo te haga sufrir tanto? Esta fue la muerte que más me dolió en todos los animes que vi por ahora

全て見て後に見たら、涙止まらん、泣

Still best girl in my book

No scene in anime messes me up like this one does.

Wow Now re watching this I know what she was talking about

That last part gets me everytime

制作会社の全力を感じる。好き。。。

2018 Still makes me cry coz of my attachment with the character specially the ship Riki x Kuru

That's why I don't watch KZfaq recommendation ; Ahh this pain in my heart...

I cried :( This is so sad!

After this scene I cried so hard everytime I think off Kuragaya I cry😭😭 bring her back I'm crying again😭 can someone make me Happy?😭😭

First off, the anime did an extremely poor job of adapting Kurugaya's route - the fact that they crammed an entire route in less than 3 episodes while the other heroines had at least 4 episodes or more (like Kud did >.>) is insulting. Second, the only real way to experience Kurugaya's route is by reading the Visual Novel - the fact that you already know "The Secret of the World" courtesy of the anime should help you understand the route better - trust me, a lot of readers wrote off Kurugaya's route as being shallow because of the fact that her route ties heavily into "Refrain". Basically, what happens at the end of Kurugaya's route is a prelude to Refrain. Third, the anime f*cks up with two crucial aspects: - it heavily mixes in Rin into Kurugaya's route - that is extremely wrong! In the VN, Kurugaya discovers the selfish nature of love and she wants to defy Kyousuke and her own death just to be with Riki. Nowhere did Kurugaya even mention Rin after Riki confessed to her 3 times. It goes without saying that Kurugaya wants Riki all for herself. Same with Riki: one he falls in love with Kurugaya, there are several scenes where all he can think about is her. Rin doesn't even exist anymore. The added scenes with jealous and sad Rin sprinkled throughout "Refrain" are again insulting towards Kurugaya's character - an insult that the producers of the anime make 😑 - Kurugaya's simple "I like you" is incredibly shallow and insignificant in the anime. You can't imagine the weight, impact and emotional value her confession has in the VN, given that she only voices it during the True End of her route and furthermore, she uses the exact same words that Riki used when he confessed to Kurugaya. Lastly, Kurugaya's story ends with the True Ending of the VN. Nothing more after that. While her story is, IMO, KEY's absolute best romance story, KEY didn't continue to work on her character because domestically, Kurugaya was not as popular as Kud. KEY has this nasty habit of making popularity polls for their characters after launching a Visual Novel, and given the results of said poll, they may choose to make a spinoff VN with the second most popular heroine in that poll, in case the Main Heroine (Rin, in this case) was nr 1. This is why KEY made Kud Wafter and Tomoyo After - those two were the second top rated heroines in the popularity poll, according to the Japanese. It's common knowledge that the Japanese are more into loli and weak female characters, so it's obvious a strong, self-sufficient girl like Kurugaya would intimidate them. If you haven't already, watch "Angel Beats" and think of Tenshi/Tachibana Kanade as being Kurugaya, because the two characters have an extreme amount of things in common when it comes to personalities - the only thing that differs fundamentally is their design. I consider "Angel Beats" as being the spiritual successor to "Little Busters", where KEY mixed 95% of Kurugaya's personality with a loli character design and obtained one of the most popular characters ever in Tachibana Kanade.

song for friends 最高すぎ

NOOOOOOOO! KURUGAYA-SANN!!! T-T

これ最初見たとき意味がわかってなくて何が起きたんだ…って感じでぼーっとしてたけど二周目以降みると辛いなこれ

😭 kurugaya-san!!!!

i makes more sense and sadder watching this after finished watching the season

:'( they had to end it like this

She looks like shion from higurashi no naku koro a.k.a when they cry 😱

Kurugaya, nuuuuuu!!!!

I just loved this anime because of those two but honestly because kurugaya is gone i dont even watch anymore

It means my life is a dream because 20th June is my birthday 😂😂

NOO IT WAS ALL A DREAM PLUS HE WOULD FORGET ABOUT IT NO NO NO WHY!!! I AM SO SAD

Bring back kuruguya 😢😢😢

I think Yuiko Kurugaya's designs almost looks like Homura Akemi in Madoka Magica.

The question are "Why did Kurugaya disappear if she is real?"Did both if them sync together?" tell me guys coz there are a lot of questions that I want you guys to answer...Please

**sadness noises**
