Dat kick. Oh God, that kid deserved it from Riko.

Not too sure what to think of this finale. Maki and her experiments will be missed in a way I guess. Dem tears: http://i.imgur.com/2BDTK1E.png

Well, I certainly couldn't have been wrong about that ending. I had thought that with Nagi buying into the conspiracy last episode, Yan feeling a bit guilty with Maki, Sayo trapped by Suzu and Eno's acceptance of Riko as an adviser, plus the fact that every single girl at school having a crush on Riko and each probably willing to kill to have her love advice (and the fact that Riko actually gave good advice to Maki), that Riko, far from being exposed, would become trapped even deeper into maintaining the lie, which would have been a minor ending that would lead to a second season.

But they actually went for a real ending, with the truth coming out and Maki and Riko's friendship validated. A good ending, but that is kind of the point, it is a good ending. Eliminates much of the anticipation for a second season because we had the resolution to the major plot concerning Riko and Maki. A second season would have to rebuild the group dynamics quite a bit.

One thing I like about Japanese shows is the fact they end, which is why I think the ending was perfectly fine, but part of me wishing they went with a hanging ending, because as much as I like this show, I would have loved a bit of hint towards a second season.

The animation went down drastically on this episode. But nonetheless, it was really good, the whole show in general. 9/10 Here's to hoping for a season 2 that'll probably focus on the guys and the girls!! ^^

I wasn't really expecting all that much from this when I went into it, but now that its over I'm realizing just how much I enjoyed it. I don't think there can be a season 2 with the way this ended, but I would gladly accept one. Giving this an 8/10

It's one of these anime where I rewatched every episode several times for additional laugh. It's easly one of the best of the season and the best in category.

I'm glad they didn't put over the top drama in last episode. And Nagi hit "nice guy" ending again...
It seems that Rico route have hidden requirement to "scold her more", so nice guy Nagi have long road ahead...

Sayo as Maki, I can totally get used to that! xD She sounds exact same as her! Sayo is such a big sis, totally love her.

That kick was so well-deserved! Satoshi is such a boss, he better ends up with Riko and Jan with Maki as well! That apologizing scene XD Finally she letted it all out, I am relieved for her! BROTP feels! She got slapped, such best friends! When they were crying, so cute xD Hahaha, she got hit by Enoshima and hugged Suzu XD Love Lab began when the show ended :/...

I am going to miss it so so much... 10/10! A 2nd season please, totally!

At first glance I didnt think I would like this anime. I read the summary and 'conducting love experiments' sounded a little weird to me and I thought there would be ecchi. But then I watched the first episode and loved Maki and Riko as a duo instantly.
Everyone in the student council is so hilarious!
This anime warms me up. A lot of the episodes I found myself laughing way too much. In this one I pretty much cried my eyes out. Im not sure if there will be a second season, but if there is, I hope I see more of my Riko x Nagi ship xD
Overall it was an 8/10

And Riko finally told the truth to Maki about her love experience is a lie, well it wrap up things well for the ending. Now the the love research will continue onwards.

The student council were enjoyable to watch, a good balance between comedy and drama, seeing guys in the anime spike things up a bit, and the love lab comedic situation experience were funny.

Though animation and music were decent, and the drama was not that good. Giving this 9/10

What an awesome show, I enjoyed watching every episode and there weren't really any slow parts in the action. To me the gags never got old but what was surprising was that there was pretty good drama too especially at the end with Riko and Maki.

Did Maki all but confirm a second season at the very end?

You'd think this anime would be rated above an 8 on MAL since everyone loved every episode. Most episodes above 80% 5/5.


I liked the finale, though I didn't like how the serious moments were interrupted by jokes that ruined the mood.

The heck is with all the tears in these finales. First Free now this. Still, we needed the friendship end.

This was probably my surprise of the season. I didn't think I'd end up enjoying it this much. It did what it needed to do - that is be "cute girls doing cute things" without unnecessary drama. Very enjoyable show.

I was so happy when Riko realized she couldn't bare to quit the student council.

And I loved the episode just as much as I loved the whole show. This is comedy done right; even when dramatic subplots come up, it still keeps the laughs coming. And as much as I like yuri, I'm actually kind of happy at the inclusion of boys and the way we were shown this is definitely not yuri. It changes things up from the way these shows usually go and yuri teasing in general is getting really annoying.

9/10, would love to see more.

I can see it clearly with my yuri googles™. Riko drops Nagi like a brick to go confess her lustlove to Maki. Still Riko is quite the playgirl and fondles Suzu the first chance she gets, attempts to do the same to Eno but gets a slap on the face since Enomoto has sworn fidelity to Makio. Sweet delusions :D

I must say i have my doubts about this anime before i started watching but to my surprise it was pretty good and enjoyable to watch.
I really liked how the girls dealt with the different subjects they had to find out and the situations they created where nice to.

The two main characters where also fun to watch a very nice duo full of humour and i hope we will get to see more of them at some point.
Let's hope for a second season in the near future.

A decent finale. Not much to say about it, it explains itself and wrapped things up nicely.

Overall this series was absolutely hilarious. Especially enjoyed Maki's craziness along with all of her "Kyaa!" moments and Riko is an awesome tomboy. Enomoto is a cute tsundereish character too. Would be on board for a second season for sure. 8/10 from me.

I loved this anime and the ending. It was one of those perfect last episodes that solved everything in a way that there's no cliff-hanger and even if there isn't a second season, you don't feel like you're missing out on anything.

That being said, I really do hope there is a second season 'cause this anime was just perfect. I loved the comedy, the little bit of drama and the voice actresses were great. I would also love to see the girls put their love research to work.
