| lol, glad there will be a season 2. This feels so incomplete. |
| It definitely felt like an end to a season and not to a series because at the end, if it felt like the ending of any ordinary episode. Anyway, the season was interesting. The humour didn't always click with me but it was entertaining. 8/10 |

Weren't you just talking about the greatness of randomness? :D Lind_L_Tailor said: This may sound weird coming from a British person, randomness =/= comedy. :/ |

| The second half part really gave me a nostalgic feeling, as if it was going to be the last episode.But luckily it won't stop here..It is an amazing series..At least for me! |
 |
| It was a nice ending for the first series and I can't wait for the second~ I had lot's of fun watching this, so I'll go with 9/10.~ ShiroiRyu said: Hokuto no Stella transformation ^hilarious~ |

| Also, garfield15 said: Lind_L_Tailor said: I mean, how often do you actually find an anime that is genuinely this funny? Um...I think maybe BakaTest? (Oh wait, that did get an S2) Eh, it was kinda funny, but it was in the same vein as all those other done-to-death harem anime jokes. Slightly better than the usual fare, but just as generic. |
Lind_L_Tailor said: Eh, it was kinda funny, but it was in the same vein as all those other done-to-death harem anime jokes. Slightly better than the usual fare, but just as generic. It's not only 'as generic'. IMHO, it sux. HARD, and even more emphasized by the way they pathetically tried to squeeze as much 'milk' as possible outta that TRAP whom I don't even bother to recall his name.... :/ To think that I was so hyped up for that back in the days just because of 'Oonuma Shin' but I guess even his genius cannot make up for the failure of the contents.... |
 If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |
| This really does not feel like an ending. I hope for a second season because there would be missing something other way. Very good series. |
| so so episode but yay second season! |
 |
| LMAO Iron maiden ride xD Anyways this feels like a normal episode except for Billy and Jacqueline, they're really funny. Also Last samurai too:D 9/10, because I really like this series and really enjoyed it. Also, can't wait for second season!! |
| Hmm...there were a several funny moments in this series but overall I'm not really feeling it that much. Regardless, I will probably watch the second season when it comes out. |
| TG SAMBO |

| One of the best comedies of the past few seasons. 9/10 |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| not that good as the rest of the series. i hope much better in 2ed season overall 8/10 |
 |
| Pretty crappy episode if you ask me. I almost want to bump it down to a 7, but that just wouldn't be fair. I'm happy that it gets a second season, but I hope it's not as disappointing as Natsu no Arashi's sequel. |
| Yes! Second season. Cant wait to see it. |
HawthorneKitty said: TG SAMBO Damn right. |
| Japanese cartoons and comics. |
| Iron Maiden Cosater was epic win. Apart from that, it was a perfectly random and funny episode as usual. ?ot brilliant by any means but interesting enough for me to watch the second season. 8/10 |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
doubletaco said: HawthorneKitty said: TG SAMBO Damn right. The funniest thing in this episode... It gets really old seeing Kou screams about how weird the people under the bridge are. |
  |
| Enjoyable episode.I laughed at Takai's version of the park.The TG Sambo thingie was also epic.8/10 for the series.Looking forward to the second season. |
| "This Forest isn't going to reveal all its secrets for the likes of you." |
| That was great, I give this series a 10/10 So tere seems to be some treasure under the bridge. Hehe the second season is gonna be pretty interesting. The woman in that scene looks like a female version of He-man lol |
| A amusement park i remember those days, second season!!! cant wait |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Genuinely enjoyed this show, 8/10 and so far my favorite shaft/shinbo work |
 |
| simply wow Arakawa is the best slice of life anime I watch this past year. After failed witl vampire loli, Shinbo trying to go back with some unique humour and it works again. I enjoyed this series a lot. There were the laughing time, much of it, but they doesn't put out the real life drama parts. I really impressed with much if the quotes i see in this show. Anyway, awesome show, really looking forward to the second season |
 |
| can't wait for second season :D this anime made me laugh tons can't wait for whats next to come :) |
 |
| Now, with this introduction, not having a second season would be stupidity incarnate. Luckily, no such stupidity detected, due to the existence of a coming season xD And there's a censored Hoshi-face as well xD Oh Maria, you're so funny~ |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| ...and onto the second season. It was great, game me a lot of lulz. Probably, the funniest anime this season. 10/10 |
| Last episodes weren't as good as the rest of the series but it was great overall 9/10 I'm glad it's getting a second season! |
 |
| Interesting how they introduce new characters last episode but Awesome that there's going to be a second season I look forward to it <(^.^)> |
  |
| Haircutting scene was amazing! Really funny. Rather like that bench scene as well, but for other reasons :3 Yay, new season \o/ |
 |
| nice way to finish things up, but wait there is a second season of insanity! |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| When the plot got rolling near the end, there was a stagnation of quality, but this episode got back to the goodness that once was. I can honestly say Arakawa is probably the first show to make me laugh out loud and hard in a long while. I pretty much marathoned this show, which is something I usually don't do very often. Overall, it's a good 9/10 for me, and I can't wait for the 2nd season. |

| I have to echo the majority's sentiment. It honestly didn't feel like the final episode, and 12 probably would've made a better spot to end the first season. Sort of a weak episode too. That being said, I did like how they decided to randomly focus on these three "unique" characters. Never change, Arakawa. XD All in all, a consistently funny anime from beginning to end, with such a great cast of characters. This show had me dying at times. Usually, comedy in anime never works for me, but Arakawa delivered in spades. 8/10 Can't wait for the next season! |
| Seeing the Chief in a creepy pink squirrel costume nearly killed me with laughter. Oh my god. Cannot wait for the 2nd season!! |
| A warming finale to a good comedy. I came into this expecting some romance but they seemed to focus more on Riku and his father..and jokes sometimes got dragged out too long or were just lame like Riku's assistant oh man he makes me sick.. Also felt there could be more development..I wanted to see more of the Chief without his suit and Hoshi seems like a chick magnet without his mask..and of course more Riku and Nino.Guess il be checking out season 2, invested too much into these unique charss XD |
| this didn't feel much like an ending really. The episode was kind of mediocre too. And kind of late introducing new characters aren't we? Maybe all this is because of a second season. |
| Noiseless computer for the win. So he does know about Takai disturbing love. Some amusement park that is. Second season YAY |
| Oh a second season thans all for this news. I love all characters of this anime. Wonderful, Have a good week-end ;) |
That the short-lived becomes eternity..  |
| Was a little annoyed about the apparent "oh hey it's a throwaway episode so here is some leftover crap" way the episode started, but the amusement park segment was nice and left the show off on a good note. |
| I love this anime!! it made me laugh like crazy ...hahha well looking forward to the second season ...i want to know more about the other character's past ...huhuhu ^^ |
