Lai-lai_CHING:
I watched it all the way thru, and honestly, was dissapointed in his choice when he had his choice of so many (I like harem anime shows), it has been a while so I don't remember details, just that had I been in his place, I would have chosen that which was more deserving, the first one that cared for him in more ways than the rest ever did collectively.
Just my opinion, I could hear and feel her heart rip to shreds, and I've been in her place...not fun.
To answer your question, had I skipped ahead and seen the last ep, I dun think I woulda wasted my time going back and watching the rest, knowing the outcome. I fight that urge when I'm reading a book, or any other series I watch, I prefer to keep it in line, and it irritates me when people spoil it for me.
On a good note, it was worth watching, though I still feel he made the wrong choice...and for the wrong reason.
