| It had a strong start, then it got meh in the middle, but the last episode was great. I give this a 7/10. Made me laugh alot and it was cute :) |
 |
| I absolutely despise the fact she forgave her poor worthless trashy excuse for a mother in the end, and she did it so easly lol. I wanted to see that whore suffer, but i guess I came to a wrong place... 4/10. |
| 08/10 |
| They balanced the drama and comedy pretty well. Only the last arc was a little too obvious and it dragged out a while until the suspect revealed her identity which most of us already know it miles away. The last episode was not that bad :3 Would really like to see more... 9/10 |
 |
| And they all lived happily ever after. With this sentence we can summarize the whole episode, the final putting in place all the problems present in the plot. Narration quiet, calm rhythm from a background with a wistful, perhaps a bit too fast troubleshooting, oh well! TV series that had a nice strong start by the impact, and then not being able to capitalize on the fruits, with a second part of the season a little bland, the final lifts a little history thanks to those who did not leave contentions open but close all accounts at once. Too bad though that is short-lived, perhaps a longer season would give many more chances regarding its popularity. My rating is 6.5 / 10! |
 |
| Well show got really predictable by the end...though the psychiatrist resolution of beating out your emotions on another with a pillow was funny. iIN the end the show was funny, and had one or two ups and downs. Still though....ERO GRANDPA!!! 7.5/10 |
| Gonna be boring and agree with most people about this anime. Great first episode that promised a lot...and the rest of the series had its ups and downs...leaving it a mediocre experience. This is one of those shows that had great potential both with characters and plot, but ended up letting itself down a bit. The mother-daughter conflict could have been the pillar of a very strong story, but instead it was sterile, emotionally impotent and never got any momentum. The team behind this anime just gave this open goal away and made the show very standard and generic for its genre. Either they lacked time or ambition...or both, i dont know. Well worth watching however, and the incredibly good voice actor behind Haruka is the same one that did Ika-chan! |

| It was a lovely anime. I wish more would be like this one. |
Yvese said: The series started off strong and totally unexpected. I didn't let that mislead me though since I knew it wouldn't have the same tone for the rest of the series. My expectations remained low throughout so my enjoyment remained intact. There were some things that bothered/annoyed me like Moritani being a bitch at the start then joining the gang, and Kotoura blaming herself repeatedly. The former I got over, but the latter annoyed me after the 2nd or 3rd time. Despite those 2 annoyances, it was good. Thus, 7/10. Best part of this ep: Giggity. If only! :D ihateeveryone said: Can't really blame them though. This was the last ep so they had to fit all they could. It would have been better if they didn't do that detective arc and instead focused on Kotoura reconciling with her mom. I hated how little buildup there was to Kotoura and her mom's resolution and meet up. It's like she just came into the apartment and they made up after a little fight of feelings and a sleepover. Strong start as everyone says, but then it turned to shit. Shame, this could've been really great. 4/10 I havn't read the manga though so I have no idea if this is how it's supposed to go. They wouldn't have had to have such a forced, rushed reconciliation though if they cut out some of the fluff, which was like 80% of this anime. Sigh, such a strong start .. disappointed. |
| Club disbanding .. Oh well .. yeah right ~ . This Research Society ~ . And that's settles it . Very heartwarming for the mending ~ . Perfect Episode ~ !!! Great overall ~ . It is too lighthearted for me after all <3 . Well , I thought it would be a generic kind of lighthearted anime but I was spoiling it a little bit . I cannot say having drama as a twist would deliberately makes it appealing because the comedy was superior to it . Anyway , They did mixed up nicely . It is definitely comical and underrated . Cliched or not, if it makes you laugh , there is no reason not to like it ~ :D . |

| aww I cried so hard when Kotoura fell asleep next to her mother ;( |
 |
| satisfying ending. love every episode of this show. |
The world is cruel, ugly and pitiful. Let's watch anime and make it colorful |
| Man, in my opinion that was a big example of how it is possible to make a great serie with few episodes. I loved it. In overall. Really. It has a good idea, well planned plot, romance, humor, drama... For me it only missed a kiss however the main ship was so consistent that wasn't a defeat you know? which could screw up the whole serie as some animes around. I want a second season ;_; |
 |
| Glad Haruka said all of the things that she was keeping inside to her mother thus enabling her to move on with her life... thanks to her meeting Yoshihisa she made quite the progress in a short amount of time... I can imagine after this anime ende that she is going to be a happier person and this is not counting when she is finally able to have MC children. Lol! Hope Yuriko feelings reach Daichi in the near future and Hiyori finds a guy that reciprocates her feelings... Overall this was a good animation with lots of potential but sadly 12 episodes wasn’t enough to flesh out some of the characters, I wanted to see Manabe backstory, Haruka's grandfather & Daichi (pre-Yuriko)... |
 |
| Kind of a shit ending to an otherwise good series. The mom should have been run over by a truck somewhere, she did not deserve any symphaty from Kotoura whatsoever. Also, not even a kiss at the end? They focused too much on family drama and too little on the romance. Ecchi-comedy got too repetitive and was overused as well. Anyway, I like the series overall. 7/10 from me. |
| Really don't have much to say about this show, the first and last episode had a strong feeling but throughout the series it really didn't live up to it. Regarding the last episode, I really only liked the complicated relationship between Kotoura and her mother. Honestly, I'm happy that the mother finally had a decent talk with her only daughter, I just wished she would have actually apologized herself rather than Kotoura reading her mind. Because let's be honest if Kotoura didn't have the power to read minds she wouldn't know what really happened when her mother left. Either way I'm happy their on good terms. The show overall really messed up on the whole drama and romcom tied to it. Can't really explain much on this note, It could have done better if they focused more on the seriousness than the comedic aspect of the show, either way I rated this anime 8/10 from the start ending to a 6/10. (^～^;)ゞ |
Stark700 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Finally, this show is over. Well, I would say that this finale was okay but wasn't anything too special. Ya, even the mom makes her usual grumpy appearance again. The talk between the two were kinda grumpy as well. Nice to see Kotoura-chan own her with that pillow :3 Lol @ Manabe and his perversions with attempted kiss. Oh God. Dem tears I'll rate this series 5/10 for now. 5/10? Are you one of those FEW who expects this show to be some kind of battle shounen or a supernatural seinen when it's clearly just a RomCom? |
| I really want to smack Kotoura's mom in the back of her head, why did she acted like a total bitch after she abandoned her own daughter tho. Well at least she came back and cleared up everything about her feelings towards her daughter. I wonder where Kotoura's dad is, he never showed up since the first episode I'm so happy for Kotoura that she finally found people who care about her. Kinda feel bad about Moritani tho, but Kotoura and Manabe looks so cute together. Overall score 7/10 |
 |
| Kotoura is cute. Not sure that the heavier elements were handled as well as the comedy. Was kind of hoping that that would just be a set up and that feeling would fade away as the show continued on, but the 'suffering' continued, and it didn't make sense for it to do so. Moritani was horrible, but the show was consistent in 'punishing' her humorously. The whole detective attack story did not seem necessary. At the very least they could have wrapped up the president's 'I'm a villain who wants to use your power' thing in a different way; not that they were consistent with this either. Liked the animation, designs and colors, and the characters weren't bad in any way. The writing in the beginning episodes felt rushed. Could have been better. Also, people who like suffering should fuck off. Bottom of the barrel taste. |

| 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 |
