| 2/10, the comedy was repetitive and boring (yes, we get it, MC is a pervert) and the drama terribly forced. I only finished this out of sheer masochism. |
| I think this anime deserve more than 4 score because this anime not that bad. the cemistry between romance, comedy and music are balance well. the artwork also good. score 7/10 for me. there's no reason for me to hate this anime |
 after all what happened in my life, I finally realized. God never say a thing. And God's silence has nothing to do with life or death. |
| I think the show started to go down in quality after the summer vacation. Tho I honestly still enjoyed it. 7/10 |
| Good music but the plot and drama is all over the place. 4/10 |
| The closer you get to the light,the greater your shadow becomes. |
| The reunion between Haruka and her mother was rushed af. The overused "haha manabe/grandpa is a pervert lol xd" moments were too unfunny and repetitive, and the drama wasn't well-written enough to make up for it. My initial rating for this show was 4/10 for just being kind of boring, but episode 11 was so crappy that I lowered my rating. It was a perfectly good idea for a story arc, but they butchered it. Very shallow and lazily-written anime. 3/10 |

| Bad show, 3/10. Started well and got progressively worse. |
 |
| Oh yeah great confession at the end and fortunately the drama with Kotoura's mother is finished, very very enjoyable anime overall |
 |
| Well.. It seems I see quite some broken mothers lately in anime.. Who do some shit.. Overall, I have some thoughts about this anime.. That it was nice in the beginning.. As well as towards end.. But in the middle it had some strange slice of life at times, as well as Moritani's situation wasn't resolved properly, it felt, so group dynamics seemed weird during the middle of the anime.. Eventually Moritani found her place.. But I feel that it could really have happened some episodes earlier.. I liked initial drama about Kotoura.. As well as detective story was nice as well.. And during crime arc we also finally got Moritani coming, where she should be.. As well as more about Yuriko's feelings about all things.. So in the end, it really depends on what I put accent on this anime.. With time, I feel, it might even become more enjoyable anime in my memories, because it had things I liked, and eventually we arrived to slice of life which feels nice.. The middle of the anime, on the other hand, was quite strange, to my feel.. So it really depends on perspective, how to rate this anime for me personally.. In the end I like the characters.. And like journey in the beginning and later half.. I don't like comedy which was in the middle.. So that is what I think about this anime, I guess.. |
| Somewhat good ending and fine show overall, I felt that the writing/directing suffered from confusion, there were too many aspects to handle tragedy, comedy, romance and a bit slice of life among other things and couldn't handle them well or rather bring them into harmony and the result was this rushed romance, unpolished tragedy and untimely comedy Anyway I appreciate what the show tried to do in just 12 episode and it was again, fine |
| A satisfying ending I guess, still hate kotoura's mother tho. Manabu probably my favourite character in this anime next that chibi senpai, enjoy it would've given an 8 but there's no kiss so 7/10 |
| Very weird tonal shifts and is overly dramatic and without subtlety. In saying that, the perverse humor I enjoyed (especially with it's unique portrayal through mind reading) and the characters are fun to watch. The fact that it doesn't take itself so seriously for 80% of the show, really clashes badly with the all the bad shit that happened/happens to the MC. Some real shitty writing with the Mother in the end, in no way is she redeemable in my books, acting like a bitch pretty much until the end lol. |
| Notes from 2014: |
| why did this fall apart so bad in the end? it was downhill after the attacker thing started. the mother is so fucking stupid if you were sorry and crying about how you were a bad mother and abandoned your daughter THEN WHY THE FUCK DID SHE KEEP BEING A MEAN ASSHOLE TO KOTOURA??? i assume its the anime's fault that their making up was rushed into a few minute long fight. during that i was chanting "HAKKAA SE!" ("beat her up!" in finnish) when kotoura was smacking her with the pillow. and when kotoura dodged her slap i couldnt hold back my laughter at least the confession was nice. this show was really funny, cute and occasionally very serious. but there were so many things about it that i also hated so ill have to rate it a 6. i might read the manga someday assuming it is better done. seems like others here think the same. strong start but then it crumbled down |

| At long last, I have finally finished this series after I started it either 10 years ago or 10+ years ago, can’t remember the exact time but I know it’s around there somewhere lol, it has sat in my crunch watch list all this time, and it truly didn’t deserve to be put off for that long because this was a great show overall. This final episode in particular was a good finale for the series as well, it pretty much wrapped up everything even if some of it felt rushed (mainly the mom thing), and we even had a true confession between Manabe and Kotoura at the end, no kiss unfortunately but who needs em anyway lol. And when it comes to things I think could have been better about this show there’s two things I immediately think of, the first being Moritani’s very quick forgiveness and the 2nd thing being the ending of the last arc of the show, being the stuff with Tsukino. Yeah Moritani ended up being a hilarious character but it was hard to be like the cast and brush off her very dastardly deed, and as for Tsukino it just felt kinda rushed and then it appeared she got off free of charge despite the crime of beating high school kids lol, I get she had a split personality thing going on but once again it just happened too fast. That stuff aside tho, this was a truly great show, really fucking funny most of the time and also got me feelings the emotions lol, and of course I really loved the main gang despite Moritani’s incredibly bumpy start, and I think Manabe might be one of my favorite romcom protags. The OP and all three EDs were great as well, that OP is especially catchy and probably won’t be leaving my brain for a while lol. And with that I guess that’s it, it was nice to go back to the super nostalgic year of 2013 again with this show, will have to do it again soon, I already am kinda with Monogatari but this one was a show I actually checked out around that time so it hits harder lol. |
| Of course, It's good to see that her mother wasn't actually a heartless monster, but at the end of the day, she still abandoned her own daughter, so.. I feel like it should be a case of, actually wanting to mend things but it will take some time, It'd be more realistic. Either way, The anime itself was good, could've been better, but I still enjoyed the watch. |
