I didn't cry. I knew how the ending panned out beforehand due to some unfortunate spoiler incidents, but upon rewinding and rewatching several times (a horridly OCD habit of mine) so that I could truly "soak it all in", I definitely felt the raw emotion. There was a great feeling of bittersweet release... like I was sad that it was "over" for me, but after spening the last 8-9 months of my life watching it bit by bit, it was really like ending a good book. Terribly sad but a great releif and serenity, especially concerning how positive the finale was. I considered drawing it out, and postponing watching the end for several more months - but talked myself out of it.
No doubt I will be back re-watching sometime soon. I hate to be sappy, but MitM in the short time I fell in love with it and experienced it sort of became an important facet of my life. It helped me through coming to some important realizations about growing up, my own shortcomings, and about others. It really was a great spiritual boost to me, even though I desperately over-analyzed and picked it apart. Even learning to do that less and to just ENJOY it was a big revelation for me. My life would not be the same if I had never watched "New Neighbors" one slow day last summer out of boredom.
