That was some solid comedy anime, but I wished it had some more romance involved in it. Probably next season perhaps?

This show was very amusing and to be honest i feel like it kicked the ass of many girl-group comedy anime because the two mains(Maki and Rika) had such funny intriguing lovable characters that even the whole cast of K-ON! together didn't have as much.
Yes this is a moe girl having fun comedy type of anime and it's absolutely great! I really feel this show gave us one the best experiences such a show can give and i like how they didn't shy of showing males in fear of stupid otaku and the girls they made despite being what you call moeblobs they seemed to not focus on that very much but more on actually being funny instead of being funny just because they are cute.

Saying all that such shows get slightly tiring if they go too much with the same pattern for many episodes so if a second season comes i hope the creators have some good new ideas or maybe change slight direction to keep things interesting.

Anyway a very good show that is a lot more enjoyable that you could expect.

Haha, great show.
It was kinda boring for me at the beginning of this show. Then near the end around ep 8 til the end, was getting pretty interesting.

At least Riko and Maki are back together :D

7-8/10 ^^

Enjoyable series definitely ^_____^ Made me laugh a lot, and imagine situations, (as if I don't on a daily basis xD)

I just love it when they speak 'English' or and any other languages besides Japanese.

(I hope I'm not the only one in this club...) Maki x Nagi yes please!!!!!!
Riko... hmm Jan doesn't suit her, (Nagi doesn't too, my opinion of course)
I don't really like Suzu x Rentarou....
I want to see Mizushima's bf! :D
and Eno so far she's the only one without progress at all. (just like her brother)

The series need more boys[b\]

It's really nice to see the Student Council and The Newspaper Association working together, I hope they participate in Maki's researches too!! I hope her sister does too!! xD

Maki's seiyuu sounds really good!!!

The last forth of the series wasn't that good, because the antics got repetitive and they went overboard with accepting Riko's lie, when it was obvious they were the idiots who bought it (what Sayo said). Other than that, the series was enjoyable and funny. Bonus points for blending the male cast - I wanted to see more of them and their interaction with the girls.

I agree, except for the sluts and bland characters comment. The main 4 might be bland, but the male side characters have a lot of potential, which, well, they didn't have much screen time. Calling them sluts is going a little too far, even though some of their remarks do make them seem like one, covering up with an innocent front. I liked the comedy, but didn't like the drama. Probably wouldn't watch the sequel, might watch if there will be more screen time for the male characters.

That was a surprisingly really good show but I think what really put the show over the top was Maki's hilarious closet romantics and Riko. I couldn't help but laugh everytime Maki went all lovey dovey mode and clung to huggy.

Glad to see things went well for the two of them (even though it's to be expected lol)

I really enjoyed this one.. I was laughing in almost all of the EP's 'cos of all their antics.. Definitely going to miss Mika and Riko's gags.. They're the ones who made this show funny and adorable..
Overall, a good/funny anime..

I feel like the relationships with the boys are undeveloped and could serve as the main plot for the second season. They didn't even go on dates.

But I realize a second season is probably a pipe dream.

Hooray, I finally managed to finish this TV series!
Episode that ends a series that began with a bang, I was dead the first episode, so it was fun! XD
Narrative does not seem to end, but it is still very consistent with what we saw earlier.
Not missing almost nothing in this anime, another good production studio Doga Kobo.
I hope you decide to make a second season, because one is not enough.
I could not follow it as it should be, so I will give a provisional rating of 7/10!

Thank you very much the group "Task Force" for the Italian version.

I have truly enjoyed this series so much! I'm glad that Riko told Maki the truth as it wrapped things up rather nicely. I do agree that the drama parts could have been handled better without the jokes but I think it did OK at some point. The comedy was top-notch quality and I laughed so much that it felt so good that my eyes watered up at times. The last part where they made the huge slapsticks was so hilarious that I knew they were going to hit Riko so hard after they found out about her lie.

I'm going to miss this show as it was really a truly enjoyable, comedic anime. I love the characters and their crazy antics that made the show so great. Riko and Maki are just an amazing comedy duo! Riko x Maki FTW!

I just finished this. There's a better show buried in what we got. The show could have continued and gotten into some of the girls getting into actual dating and still keep its comical approach to the material.

I just feel like this show never realized it's full potential. I liked it but it's also disappointing. The two lead characters were amazing and carried the show.

That was a pretty nice ending. Kinda made me hope for a sequel, with Riko seemingly having an old love interest on hold and the Love Lab being established. But this is most likely to never happen, so we have to stick with this happy ending 8/10

Great series!
Decent Ending i thought they just ignore that major problem (riko lying problem) that happened from the very start of the anime but i was wrong they saved it in the last ep.

Theres a lot of happening in the story like in one ep theres 2 to 3 problems exist but the anime manage to tell it with no problems you can keep up on it.
the narrative was superb in this show.

Great animation,characters and
im so amazed by it

The anime was fun but it can be deep sometimes.

10/10 for me
My fav would be
1. Riko
2. Suzu
3. Maki
4. Sayo
5. Eno

This was an enjoyable watch. I would definitively watch a second season of this.

I wonder how high the chances for a second season are. The manga ended on October 21st this year. Could a manga get another anime season to celebrate it ending?

Thats it, at last goddamned, Riko!



Thats my point. Judging that this series had a chance to improve later, and had enough room to get a continuations. I feel the 8/10 points to the Overall, must be nice enough to end the series. It will be more great if the show had a less drama in the end, bring more comedy joke as usual, and take some little normal romance to the girl. But, no. They keep a mild open ending. Giving a huge drama teenage with predictable liar problem solved situations. And take a soft joke to save the day.

A bit dissapointment. But, its okay. Still refer as an amusing series. So thats why i put 8 max for the show. Just, need more season. If it had more chance in the future. Maybe....

That was a nice final episode and maybe the best episode overall in this series. However, this wasn't one of my favorite CGDCT, because there was too much of drama and boring conversations about the student council and the Newspaper Association for example.

Decent, though pretty underwhelming for a CGDCT anime. I think the general premise of the show was a little weaker than others of the same genre, not as lively, and the characters weren't as likeable. Had some good laughs here and there, but they tried and failed to mix the humor with the drama too frequently, especially those last couple of episodes. The addition of male characters was a nice change though. 6/10.

Fantastic show. I loved every minute of it. The well-executed inclusion of a slight hint of drama earns it an extra point. I don't care what anyone says, comedy and drama go great together.

If it had a sequel even half as good, the series would definitely be one of my top CGDCT. But as it stands, I just can't ignore the feeling of disappointment that there's only one season.

9/10

PS: If you liked Love Lab, you'll probably enjoy Hitoribocchi as well. Very similar vibes.

Greater than any youtube apologies out there. The final drama about the orange hair's lie is very satisfying to watch. wasnt expecting that such an issue would be settled in this series, as it was one of the foundations of the comedic moments in this show, but seeing this getting resolved was also refreshing, perhaps building towards something new in the future.
Glad they did a change of pace in ep11, inserting an episode with some fan service by green hair, and some gags revolving around the siblings.
The characters are fun in the way how characters are fun in yuru yuri : they have strong traits, some traits being generic troupes (but also often presented in a sarcastic narrative), lots of dynamics and reoccurring interactions that appears in different unexpected occassions. Many of the background music I believe were also done by the same person that did the yuru yuri background musics.
Besides the love labs and sol sluffs, this show builds up several dramas and successfully resolves them, resulting into a feel of progressing forward so that the show does not get boring. Although at these segments (disregarding jokes that opens up the atmosphere), the overall tone becomes heavy, serious, sometimes melodramatic, it seems like they are written quite neatly and tightly, where almost all the character traits, interactions introduced in the show were at some point utilized as a building block of the solution, while not being entirely predictable. The only thing I disliked was that they sometimes have to utilize rather lame reasons as the starting point of some of the dramas.
All in all, this was a fun and decent show that has good relaxed moments and unrelaxed moments.
