Practically none of the real issues got resolved! I'm pretty badly disappointed with the show at this point. I also regret comparing it to Kodocha. We still don't know the origin of Mikan, although there are hints that the mystery girl from the past is her mother. We also don't know exactly what Natsume goes through. And that last speech to blur up the meaning of Alice didn't gibe with me, either. Kodocha 1. Gakuen Alice 0. I guess the message is, if you want to know, read the original manga. Yeah, but the anime should have been more complete by itself, too.
Mikan is cute, though. Hotaru can be really cute, too.
No screen captures from the last episode, per my policy.
