Yuri Anime: Kannazuki no Miko, or The Girl Got The Girl, But....

Well, Kannazuki no Miko ended, and Chikane and Himeko ended up together, but, really, it made NO sense at all.

Do we care?

Not really.

It doesn't matter that "eternity" seemed to last no more than about 3 minutes, and that raping a person so that they will kill you is a stupid idea, and that the whole mecha thing was a giant waste, and the bad guy was a complete nothing....it doesn't matter because Chikane confessed her love and her physical desire for Himeko, who basically told her that she wouldn't kick her out of bed and kisses Chikane in a nice visual parallel to the kiss at the end of the first episode (which, by the way, proved me wrong, because in my first review of Kannazuki no Miko, I was pretty sure they would *not* get together. Wrong again. LOL)


Because pictures are sometimes actually worth a thousand words, I will eschew a description of the insensible ending and simply offer a picture which not only succinctly summarizes the end of the series, but is also highly amusing. This magnificently succinct picture was drawn by Juji and is now used here with permission of the artist, for which i am imminsely grateful! This was meant to summarize the first episode, but it seems to work for the last - and many of the middle episodes, as well. :-) Thanks Juji!




And there you have it. The end of Kannazuki no Miko, as interpreted by a genius among fans. We await sequels with bated breath. :-)

I am also one of the fans of the Kannazuki no miko anime. It was a nice blend of yuri and shintoism :)

its actually my fave anime right now, I loved it, it actually made me cry, and the suspense and confusion only made it ten times more captivating, and kept me watching to the last episode to see exactly who would win. and omg chikane's eyes are sooooo beautiful! lol sorry

I watched it on a friend's recommendation.. haven't really watched much anime before, but now am looking for as much as I can find, because I liked this one. I, too, must confess.. I cried at several places in the story, and ended up watching it with my girlfriend because some of it was very pertinent to us. Perhaps it's not good enough for more lofty anime fans, but for a new girl, it was really good.
