Sure was,

I'm just gonna pretend Okawari and Fuyuki didn't happen.

Honestly I found this series the worst of all three cause the others were funnier to me but the last ep. was awesome, I loved all of it!

Chiaki clinging onto Kana, then Kana clinging onto Haruka and crying 'Haruka!' into her top was the sweetest thing I think I've ever seen from all series'.

Overall, this series was really boring but some eps I really liked...it's a 6 right now but might change to a 7, no higher.

EDIT: know what? It's getting a 7 for this ep and the ep where Chika and Natsuki have the growl match, that was so hilarious!!! Chiaki has gotten very cute in this series, not seen her like that since she was scared Haruka was going to move to Europe.

If it was a little faster paced, I would have considered an 8.

How this could be called better than okawari I really don't get, it was one of the more stupid shows I have yet had the displeasure of watching. The directing was atrocious, some of the worst I had to trudge through in my life.

Still, the ending was surprisingly okay, so it gets a generous score of 2 from me.

A very cute final episode, I enjoyed it very much. The season was good, the quality wasn't good at times but the animation and delivery of the jokes made me enjoy Minami-ke again. 8/10.

Man, that was a close call. For a second there, I thought they were gonna break the tradition of having an epic Hosaka moment to end the series with, but glad to see that wasn't the case.

So yeah, as was said a million fucking times, this season was better than the second, and not as good as the first. I wont mind a forth season, as long as they do it right, and with plenty of Hosaka and Minami brothers screen time.

Man, close call with that Hosaka moment, he needed more screentime this season, but the curry fairy was the best LOL. All 3 seasons were fairly good, but honestly i wish the last two seasons were more like the first, not that the last 2 are horrible or anything, just would've been much more enjoyable.

I'll give this season a 8/10.

Minami-ke > Minami-ke Okawari > Minami-ke Okaeri

I wish I could at least get some closure or progress on the relationship between Fujioka & Kana. I'm getting this feeling that the producers are afraid to explore the alternatives because they want to continue the gag in later seasons and milk this series for all it's worth.

About this ep:
hmmm some people said it's a suicide note; to me it looked more like Kana was running away from home though.

A suitable ending. Lots of 'awww' moments. :D

It was a nice and sweet season finale. Sister love. And Mako-chan still lives on. He and Touma were the primary reason I watched the show in the first place. I wanted to see some love development but there wasn't any. And Haruka never learned of Hosaka's feelings for her. I still think that there is potential and material for at least a last season.

I enjoyed the show, but the animation sucked big time on some episodes. Hopefully we'll get so see more of it in the future. But at least there is still an OVA and the manga.

I must say i realy liked this season that same as previouses, maybe in second, line wasn't that good as in first and last but it's not the most important part of this. I also think it was proper episode for final of the season. Is next season or kind of next OVA information confirmed ? I realy would like to see more, this show is that good that i can watch it for infinity ;-]

Nice season overall. All on the places, but yes.. art is not very good. However it's not very important part. Story still funny) Seyu do a great work ^_^

About progress on the relationships - I think they never move. Though I together with those who waits for it)

About this episode:
Awwww ~_~ It is a little serious. And the most I like in this season.

8/10

ps: Btw I'm completely agree with those, who think that Hosaka hasn't enough screentime.

I disagree that the relationship should progress.

Most people like the gags, which is what made season 1 so great, so if they got together it wouldn't be the same. If Kana and Fujioka got together, It wouldn't be different than other anime, it would the same old story of being in a relationship.

I think that by not progressing any of the characters, Minami-ke retains its own uniqueness that sets it apart from all other shows in general.

Nice ending. I wonder if they'll continue and make another series.
I still haven't seen the second, since I've heard so much bad things said about it.
That's why I went straight to the third series, after the first..

I may watch the second someday.

The 2nd season isn't bad at all.....way too many were over-reacted because the animation studio changed and they believed everything else changed because of that. The art is different, the same as the 3rd season but in my eyes, not much has changed. However, I have to admit the OP wasn't that great for the 2nd season but its ED was good and the animation for it was great with Kana swaying her butt from left to right.....kinda ero in a way and then she suddenly stops....LOL. =)

This is what Iposted in another forum: -


I finished the 1st season of Minami-Ke by Daume yesterday and started the 2nd season, I've watched up to episode 07 so far and will continue after the Arsenal-Barca CL 2nd leg match. A lot of people have complained and just said how awful season 2 is to season 1 but I think its a bit of an over-reaction by many, I reckon season 2 is still pretty funny but probably not as much as season 1. In season 2, I occasionally think that Haruka is one hell of a b*tch. Also, I would like to point out that season 2 is considered almost entirely FILLER and season 3 returns to the manga material or so I've heard. :rolleyes: Hence, Fuyuki is an anime-original character created for season 2 but I don't know if he's still included in season 3 yet. ;)

If I wanted to....I might actually finish off season 3 and the OAD by tomorrow but with a Man U match happening, I think it will take me till Thursday before approaching another anime. :rolleyes:

Season 1 gets a 8/10 from me and season 2 has a very similar score from me at the moment, the remaining episodes will either change or keep the score. ;)

As for season 4 of Minami-Ke, it can be done and most likely will fall in the hands of Asread (the guys behind Shuffle and Season 2 and 3 of Minami-Ke including the OAD). The reasons I'm saying that it can be done is because the first 3 seasons of the anime have used up 68 chapters worth of manga material according to manga-updates and currently there are 134 RAW manga chapters released. Another, thing to consider is that, Asread's next anime project is the horror-mystery anime, Shiki, who's original creator is Fuyumi Ono (the author of 12 Kingdoms and Ghost Hunt), the anime starts July 2010. Hopefully, we will get a season 4 and as for when it will come out, probably 2011.......I like this series and for me there's nothing wrong for continuing it. :D


1st season's score = 8/10
2nd season's score = 7.8/10
3rd season's score = 8.5/10

As you can see, I enjoyed season 3 the most because by that time I was already warmed up to the characters. But there is a difference between me and perhaps most of the posters above and that is I marathoned this series in the time-span of several days. ;)

Dont waste your time on the second season. Really. Its very boring.

So.. a season finale... as to be expected with Minami-ke... boring last eps.. that they could have thrown in the middle.. Ive gotten used to it though... I think this season minus this episode may have been better than the first.

It was still the light hearted fun and comedy that is minami-ke, better than the 2nd season. I hope they do make a 4th season, hopefully the same guys who did the 1st one will do the 4th one if there ever will be one.

It may be the last episode for this season.. But the manga is still ongoing. Perhaps it will be a season 4? How about this "Minami-Ke: Oyasumi"

BTW, it is nice to see Hosaka-senpai at the very end of this episode ..

That ending was really funny, but the serious tone didn't work for me.
I'll probably watch the OVA later, time for season 4 which should really have proper animation and 720p (it's 2013 now after all), this'll has to be amazing!
8/10 like the second season.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

For me the quality is dropping, it ain't that funny anymore and there isn't really and development where other series would catch up on if humor doesn't work...

Either way it wasn't a bad watch but I didn't really enjoyed everything of it, lets see what's next though! 6/10

Such an awesome season, liked it much better than Okawari. Only thing I didn't like is that Hitomi and Hayami didn't have enough screen time and also, Hosaka was getting minimum screen time near the second half of the season. Overall, thoroughly enjoyed it!

This episode was really good also easily one of my favorites just due to the cuteness factor.

So Chiaki does care about Kana, even though she's being a jerk to her most of the time. The scene when they two are sleeping together was absolutely adorable. <3

whelp this season did ended up pretty mediocre. Though there were some quality moments (particularly the entire episode 10) but my biggest gripe is that most of stories felt like the characterization were out-of-place for me which I suspect were amongst from filler episodes because compare to the first season, new character development were non-existence tbh.

Still I want to credit the series so far to a certain degree that it does not fall victim of relying on boring chibi faces nor constantly borrowed reference from other shows.
