ryzenlee★★★★☆EP 12A dramatic ending fitting for this series. All girls paths went on different paths yet somehow found each other again at some point in time.
The sky is the limit in Houkago no Pleiades. With telescope in hand, Subaru is set to go to the observation room of her school in order to get a view of that night's meteor shower. What she least expects is that behind the observatory door was not the starry skies, but a lavish garden, complete with a resplendent fountain and a mysterious young boy with long red hair. But the garden soon disappeared, as if Subaru was only imagining things. All that remains of that brilliant sight is an odd, bouncing blob creature that leads her to another magical door, occupied by other girls in magical witch-like costumes. Revelations start hitting Subaru one after the other: one of the girls in the room is her childhood friend Aoi, the little blob is actually an alien of a species called the Pleiadians trying to return home, and Subaru has been selected by him to become the newest member of their group! Now Subaru's dreams of the stars have come true in the wildest way, as she and her friends attempt to gather pieces of the Pleiadian spacecraft engine to return the being to his home. But they're not the only ones after the engine parts, and they have no idea why!
Subaru is an airhead and clumsy but deeply cares for her friends.

ryzenlee★★★★☆EP 12A dramatic ending fitting for this series. All girls paths went on different paths yet somehow found each other again at some point in time.
ryzenlee★★★★☆EP 11One more fragment remaining, but Subaru changed and lost her magic powers. However, after some reflection, she has to fulfill one more mission with the girls.
ryzenlee★★★★★EP 10The pieces are coming together as Subaru and Minato are destined to meet again no matter what. So many dramatic moments in this episode.
ryzenlee★★★★☆EP 9Subaru and Minato's interaction are going deeper and went to see the actual outer space. But there seems to be a twist back from the past.
ryzenlee★★★★☆EP 8Nanako's backstory is heartbreaking as a child, but you could see where her emotions are coming from and that is okay all while trying to capture a fragment at the edge of the galaxy.
ryzenlee★★★☆☆EP 7This is where it's getting kind of confusing due to parallel worlds merging and dreams, I don't even know what's the actual reality for this world is anymore. So it's a mid for me.
ryzenlee★★★★☆EP 6Still lots of mysteries to unveil about Minato who looks like the spitting image of the horned cape guy as the girls had an incident and the fragments they've collected so far are in danger..
ryzenlee★★★★☆EP 5It's Itsuki's backstory this time where she doesn't want to inconvenience anyone, but as always Subaru has something to say to help reflect and face their problems head on while capturing fragments.
ryzenlee★★★★★EP 4Hikaru's has a dilemma that she needs to resolve within her family, and Subaru tries to help her look at a different perspective.
ryzenlee★★★★☆EP 3After failing to capture another fragment, the 5 witches were contemplating if they were really up for the task. After a while they got back in sync together after practicing their chemistry.
ryzenlee★★★★☆EP 2It is really hilarious how riding their broom acts like their car as Subaru is learning how to maneuver them properly with Aoi's help. While they reunite and rekindle their friendship, it goes to show that their chemistry has not faded after a long time of not seeing each other.
ryzenlee★★★★☆VerifiedEP 1A magical anime, no doubt about it, with a hint of comedic effects like their brooms sounding like a car engine. These gals were trying to capture a fragment of their leader's spaceship. But there's an incident brewing.
cinnaverse★★★★★EP 12I love this finale! It really touches on the feels a lot here, and the journey all these girls went through. It's definitely one of my favorites for a reason ever since the first version that had 4 episodes!
cinnaverse★★★★☆EP 11Aww, that was such a bittersweet beginning. Change is really a frightening concept especially for young people. I love how they tried to convey the tension in this way. Much to look forward to on the next and final episode!
cinnaverse★★★★★EP 10That was such an emotionally charged episode, come on now! All the reveals are finally coming together, and Minato's and Subaru's relationship run much deeper than we know. I love how the build up to this felt natural and well-earned too.
cinnaverse★★★★★EP 9This episode has to be my favorite. I love the budding excitement between the girls as they "watch" Subaru further, and then there's that encounter at the middle and the end! I feel like we now have all the pieces here for the finale and I can't wait to witness it.
cinnaverse★★★★☆EP 8Nanako's story was quite sad, but understandable why she had felt that way. I'm quite surprised by the amount of times the antagonist just keeps appearing like so; he can't keep getting away with that surely! It makes me think that something is unbalanced with the way the Pleiadian magic works.
cinnaverse★★★★★EP 7The separate possibilities had been best showcase by this episode by far. I love how it takes time to explain how different things are in Subaru and Aoi's POVs, but that it still comes to a similar outcome. Pretty exciting developments and that fight scene in the middle too!
cinnaverse★★★★☆EP 6That had an ominous start, sheesh! Definitely set up my expectations a little here, and it was worth it. I love seeing how big the scales are when it comes to the task the Pleiadian gave to the girls - this episode is an exciting look of what the finale might look like this early.
cinnaverse★★★★☆EP 5Now it's Itsuki's turn to have some revelation. She's definitely a relatable character with her personality not wanting to cause trouble to other people. Once again, Subaru proves herself to be a great friend by hearing out her friends and encouraging them to become more like themselves. It's just so cute how talkative she now is compared to before also.
