...I blabbed a lot about the end of S2, mostly for the wrong reasons. I enjoyed the series all along without relation to moe--unless the Spitz counts as moe--and thus wasn't expecting Umino to suddenly validate my secret pervy age-inappropriate pedagogical shipping practices. orz
Regarding Hagu's choice, I keep coming back to koi vs. ai (esp. ai that facilitates self-actualization) and Shuuji being a manifestation of the 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 ideal of love. According to my value system he's like, the highest form of life, so other considerations--even Hagu's motives--sort of fall by the wayside of my enthusiasm for him. ^^;
I never get a stronger sense of regression off Hagu than when Morita does something to upset her and she goes running back to Shuuji for comfort
Whereas I read it not as regressive but as a necessary lesson in developing awareness of where her emotional bread is buttered. XD; But again this is according to my value system...I suppose ultimately it's the same ai > koi principle that causes, say, "like a sister" Harry/Hermione to ping for me more than Harry/Ron. /tangent
