HoaRy said: Haruka had the best conclusion to Kana's problems^^ But this was too slow paced, both the first and second story did not have the usual action :/ Okaeri was fine, but still far from the geniality of the first season. Agreed. For me: Minami-ke > Minami-ke Okaeri > Minami-ke Okawari |
| That was a cute last episode of an -after all- decent series. Sure the art/animation was crap at times.. but Chihara Minorin and co still made it turn out very Minami-ke'ish, lovable characters and all. One of the better shows of this (imo) meh season. Minami-ke > -gap- > Okaeri > Okawari ^ fixed ! |
     |
| Nice to end the season showing how much they all care for each other, even though it was a tad slow. And also nice to have the season end on Hosaka. Maybe if there's a 4th season, he'll cling onto Haruka. And hopefully if there's a 4th, asread doesn't produce it. And much like everyone else: Season 1 >> Season 3 > Season 2 |
| What is this?! Crying faced Chiaki and clingy Chiaki all in one ep? Nice end, the Kana and Haruka bits were cute too. Lol at the pool of Hosaka at the end. This season did an okay job at filling the Minami-ke slot, and had the same fun. 9/10 |
 |
| 8/10 from me "Minami-ke > Minami-ke Okaeri > Minami-ke Okawari" True true, overall that animation was decent. Story was decent. The Dramatic ending at the end brought up this season a bit for me. I just wish there would be a bit more build up on the relationships. Or that the seasons weren't so short :(. Or just something a little more extra. Oh well, overall it was good, it delivered it's laughs. |
| great season, i loved chiaki clinging to kana....was sooo cute. chiaki really distinguished herself this season, i mainly watched it for kana but in okaeri chiaki really makes a coming. oh and i could have seriously done without the last 15 secs or so of hosaka, god hes disgusting. |
| Haha Hosaka ending was hilarious ^_^ The dream theme was nice this episode. And Kana's suicide note... That was actually a little scary... Nice episode and ending to the season. |
 |
| It was a good episode containing sisters' bonds :3 Hosaka ♥♥ what a dream ahahah poor guy XDD 910 |
| After watching Okawari I wasn't expecting to like this season but Okaeri really surprised me. It was a lot of fun to watch all the way through. 8/10 Mire said: Minami-ke > -gap- > Okaeri > -chasm- > Okawari ^ fixed ! ^even better fix |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| Good final of the series. Ja! I think Chiaki loves kana, becouse she was that nightmare. Chaki was so cute doing that. |
| wasn't as fulfilling as the last two seasons but i enjoyed okaeri to a certain extent. definitely looking forward to the ova. |
| Rrrreally cute Chiaki-sama in this episode. Her clinging to Kana-chan was just to adowable. Haū~ Omochikaerī~ This season was a lot better then the second one. I gave this overall an 8/10 and the 2nd one a 7/10. This season looses points for crappy animation but gained points for improved lulz :P |

| The first part was the most enjoyable for me, seeing Chiaki and Kana together in sisterly love. So cute! I enjoyed season 3 the least, but it was still more than satisfying. Looking forward to the OVAs. |
| Hosaka at the end is like tradition now :-) |
Bastvera said: Yeah, I was hoping he'd show up at the very end, and he did! Hilarious as always! Good episode, very cute how Chiaki clung onto Kana for the first part. Overall I really liked the season. OVA can't come soon enough!Hosaka at the end is like tradition now :-) |
| I have to agree with the series order 1 then 3 then 2. I also hope that there is a season 4. |
 |
| it was very cute im going to mis chiaki-sama and kana´s figths TT_TT but it as a great anime IMO+ i think the series order ws fine cause everychaper made me lol hopping an ova or a season 4 sa ike! minami ke! |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| Well, My predictions are [which is always around 60% correct] after the OVA, They will release the final season, maybe next year. (Wait, finish Zero no Tsukaima first!!!) (>w<!!! |
| first season was the best one, at least the 3rd isnt as bad as the 2nd.~~ but i really dont want a 4th season anymore~~ |

resilent said: The series in general makes me wish i had a sister, growing up with 3 brothers = bah. And overall i really liked this season, can't wait to see more in the future (it's ended far too quickly already) =( So your siblings are like the other Minami family and you're like Touma. Please tell me you have a brother with a scary smile and barks at little girls. |
| Disapointing...why? Season didnt end with Hosaka laughing! Seriously. Episode was good and cute, little slow based tough. Okaeri wasnt good as first season, but Okaeri was still fun and it was very relaxing to watch. Only thing i would have liked more was Hosaka...Best character in the series! 9/10 because of nice warm atmosphere. |
| Very fitting ending for this third season of Minami-Ke. It was pretty close to the first's season's humour and direction overall, so much better than the second, but the animation and art hurt a bit too often. I loved this last episode, really. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I think that this episode was the best of the series. The rest were just too filled with side characters. This one brought back just the three sisters and had that great family feeling to it. Which is what Minami-ke is supposed to be all about. |
| Last episode was the best in this season imo. I like the ending. Too bad much of the third season was plain, though. 7/10 for me. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Worst season, imo. Anyone else notice that they almost never left the house? @_@ I thought the 2nd season was the best. |
 |
| That note Kana left for Haruka-nee-sama and Chiaki had shocked them and made them cry... It is definitely a rather disturbing message that implies she is going to commit suicide even though it turns out to be otherwise, obviously: |
 |
| Chiaki and Kana's relationship is always a pleasure to watch. Chiaki won't admit it, but she adores Kana. When it shines through, like in this episode, it's incredibly cute. As far as content goes: Okaeri > Original > Okawari. There wasn't a single dull episode in Okaeri, and they pushed the characters out of the development stagnation that Okawari left them in. The characters also felt true to their original concepts - no uber-bitch Haruka like in Okawari. It's nice that they cut away the repetitive and unnecessary fanservice which was a little too frequent in the original, and absolutely rampant in Okawari. Perhaps best of all, that bastard with glasses who debuted in Okawari wasn't even mentioned this season. In terms of overall quality: Original = Okaeri >>> Okawari. Minami-ke is one of those series that could go on for 10 seasons and I wouldn't get sick of it. Looking forward to and hoping for more sequels. |
| Great episode, i really liked the part where Chiaki was stuck to Kana, that was cute and moving :) That 3rd season was defintely better than the 2nd, except the weird animation in some episodes. 8/10. |
| Well, as expected the Minami-charm is starting to grow thin after three seasons, but season 3 was superior to season 2 (animation not being mentioned). Season 1 just left the series with a bar set too high. Either way, with the way this series is, they could actually milk this series for eternity, but I think they can mostly make one more season out of this as a wrap-up before the Minami formula turns stale. Either way, series as a whole took a step back to it's begginings. |
 |
| Don't know if I'm just tired of the series, but I found this the weakest season of the three. The last two episodes were not funny at all. Minami-ke >> Okawari >> Okaeri. |
 |
| I kind of just realized but still, I'm surprised AND thankfull they didn't had a "let's get all the underage girls drunk!" skit. They did it in both the original and Okawari so I'm really thankfull they didn't in Okaeri. Seeing elementary school girls drunk is not even remotely funny, and it was actually bothering in a way. |
|
| Good Series overall! *raises glass* heres to season 4!!! lol commooooooon. Bring back the quality of animation of season 1! |
| Disturbingly lacking Hosaka at the end, but I'm glad he came through. 8/10 I still love all 3 seasons, good times good times. |

Fatentity said: overall that animation was decent. Story was decent. The Dramatic ending at the end brought up this season a bit for me. I just wish there would be a bit more build up on the relationships. Or that the seasons weren't so short :(. Or just something a little more extra. Oh well, overall it was good, it delivered it's laughs. Yes I definitely agree with these statements. By the end of all this I just noticed that nothing had really progressed and everything was the same as it was in the beginning. I also did find this season to be slow, and I wish we could've seen more of Hosaka cause he's definitely the funniest character. Besides that I felt this season as a whole was still good and managed to keep the same feel that the original had to it. I give this episode a 4/5 and the season as a whole a 7/10. Also I don't know why everybody's hatin on Okawari cause I thought it was a good season as well. I honestly don't know how I'd rank the three seasons though. I do hope for a season 4 that will actually bring more development with it concerning the relationships and characters. For instance I would hope that Fujioka might actually do something about his crush on Kana. I'm also hearing something about an OVA here. Is that supposed to come out soon? |

| huh? Did not comment on this. Me liked all of this third season series. I liked best first one then second one. Me very angry with art and me hope that I can have better time with the DVD versions. |
| Although Okaeri was obviously inferior to the first season, I still really really liked it. Same for the second season that was also inferior, but still enjoyable for me. They just know how to make some great dialogs and heartwarming situations :P and yeah, who cares about the animation being horrible, F that. |

| You cant help but love the Minami sisters when it comes down to it.. and I thought this last episode was pretty touching in demonstrating the loving bond between the sisters. Great ep, def best in this season, cant wait for an OVA and hopefully (praying) season 4! |

Kira01 said: I think that the note originally was over "fats". She felt she was getting a little podgy around the ol' mid-riff so she wished for "fats to disappear". Shortly after you see Haruka scribbling over the wish note, and that infact, she has changed it to "sweets to disappear". And then she calls to the group, let's have some cake/dessert. Ruling Kana out with the note that she modified. Haha. Poor Kana. :) I gave this series a 6 overall. There were a few things within it that made me chuckle. Here and there though mind you. It just lacked a certain flare and spark they had from being original in the first couple o' seasons. Actually, I'll say first season, as I can't seem to remember the 2nd season. But that's not because it was that bad. Because I still enjoyed it. I said for episode 12 that I thought that the Minami~sisters had got a little boring. But they turned that around for me during this episode. Chiaki clinging to Kana, clinging!?. That was amazing. I mean, throughout most of this show, she's calling her an idiot and throwing Fujikoka (poor old bear) at the girl. And now she's worried she's gonna go out and not come back. This is really endearing. And then they continue to turn it around and Kana has a dream and starts clinging to Haruka. It turns into a cutesy Minami~hug time. But then this led onto the note that Kana left. Much like a suicide note in my eyes. And the clinging~ness must of accentuated the fact that Kana's just gone AWOL(well not really AWOL, just felt like putting that). Well, it can't have helped. Both Chiaki and Haruka's reactions were pretty priceless, showing how together, even with their differences, the Minami sisters are. The ending scene with Hosaka was beastly. He really is amazing. Overall the series was ok. It didn't have the overall oomph that it needed. I wanted to see more of that Hitomi girl, that we see in a small scene standing up and looking at Natsuki. Hell, I wanted to see more of the Minami~bros, do we even know the name of the older brother? Touma is always good. Makoto is awesome. Maki-chan was a nice contribution to the last few episodes. The triangle between Riko/Kana and Fujioka was pretty funny to watch. Even the glasses girl in Kana's class (so memorable I don't know her name) had a few moments. It was a nice series, but I wouldn't really put anything more than that. I'm not too sure what I'm thinking about an OVA or a season 4. Unless, due to the bad dream Hosaka had he's going to be clinging to Haruka for part of an episode(as someone else has said xD). Then I'm in. |
