It kind of ended abruptly, with most of the epilogue in the credits, but it was a really good story about two friends learning more about themselves and growing as young men.

Ok this episode was actually enjoyable I liked how everything was wrapped up tbh and like I hoped Arajin actually got his character development yeah it was pretty late but hey better than him staying as a hatable character tbh, I liked how both Senya and Ichiya made up just like with Matakara and Arajin

The fight was animated really well MAPPA actually made up for it and I won’t lie I’d be cheesed if this show didn’t have a spectacular fight, I was not expecting a nuclear type explosion when Arajin punched Matakara tbh that shit kinda made me laugh bc what were Zabu and them thinking seeing that shit💀

LMAO this nigga Marito is a Milf hunter bc why was he hitting on Arajin’s Mom like that? And why was his mom actually falling for him? And Mahoro being all jealous asf was funny🤣🤣

All in all of give this a 7/10 but for the animation we’re got for the final fight was done really well props to the animators so I’m bumping the score up to an 8/10 but this show doesn’t deserve anything higher than that, the writers should’ve made Arajin a little more likeable during the first 10 episodes bc bro was just thinking with his dick 24/7🤦🏽‍♂️💀🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Look, I'm surprised that this last episode was at least decently funny.

Arajin's "character development" happened in 2 minutes after 12 episodes of stubborn resistance in a very Evangelion-esque sequence.

I don't even wanna know what the fuck the teacher was doing with the actual cats at the cafe.

They pulled it out of their ass that Matakara's big brother was still alive. I swear they kept on saying he was dead just a few eps ago.

If this story had taken 8 or 10 eps instead of 12 it would have been ok. Writers really could have thought it out better, given all the money they spent on good animation.

If I ever watched a trash show till the end, this is one of them.

Waiting until the last episode to have a complete turn around was not enough to redeem such an insufferable MC. On the same note, the way Matakara was turned shitty so late in the game was equally bad. The side characters really stole the show for me in this one.

We got what we wanted :

1. Arajin's character development from "I want to lose my virginity" to "I want to wake up Matakara". ----- It later went back to "I lose my virginity."

2. Senya gets to fight Ichiya, and it ended without hurting anyone.

3. Jasmine-chan indeed is a cat, and what's with him stealing her.

After that intense battle, it doesn't make sense that none of the two were physically sore.

Arajin brings back Senya with that bullet in the end.

There's no hope for another season as it was an anime original.

It was an amazing finale. I enjoyed this show throughout. Sure, the writing could have been better but I didn't mind it. I love Hiroko Utsumi and her works. This is her weakest so far but I still like it. Thank you to all the staff involved. It was a great episode with beautiful animation and action.

Arajin, I'm proud of you, my boy. Mama Arajin is the best. A shut-off your brain type of enjoyable show. Hope to see more of Utsumi's originals.

After the downward trend this show was on, the finale was gladly decent. Still nothing like the start of what it could've been, but it had a nice ending.

And we finally know Jasmine-chan! At this point I wasn't even sure if it wouldn't have been funnier if she was actually a prostitute xD


But talking about Jasmine-chan, she was one of the last remaining parts of the comedy show I fell in love with. The biggest mistake of Bucchigiri was that it tried far to much in just one cour. Either do comedy, or do serious Honki plot or do both, but in 24 (or more) episodes.

The comedy part was certainly better though. Bro-con Mahoro, Arajin's Harem of boys he punched in love and he just being a delusional loser was the best. Not to mention his mom and Marito being incredibly funny characters! They should've just kept the genies as a plot device for the laughs. Make them the bickering father in laws of the main couple, this being Arajin X Matakara of course!

The serious part was underwhelming. There was just far too little character development on anyone, not just Arajin as people like to claim. I personally believe he was just perfect when it was comedy and only got bad when the show changed it's atmosphere. But that goes for Senya, Marito, Mahoro, Zabu and Matakara too. Not to mention the backstory of Ichiya and Senya wasn't very exciting either. Only good part was the ending, that was actually good. It just lacked the setup to have the impact it could've had.

In the end, it was a show that had incredible potential but ended up wasting so much of it's potential by rushing too many plot strings at once and just getting messed up in the diffrent themes of them. However, it wasn't bad enough to ruin the whole thing for me, like, for example, Gundam: The Witch from Mercury's second season. Taking in account the exceptional first few episodes, I can still confidently give it 7/10.

This has to be one of the worst buildups to a final confrotation I have ever seen.
Arajin has a 180º personality change in less than 5 minutes in total between chapter 11 and 12, with no more motivation than Arajin being what Ichiya was? But he has never talked with Ichiya so how would he know?

Not only that, but the eternal cloud of edginess that Ichiya was, gets a less than a minute exposition on why he was mad at Senya (and himself) but during the suppossed fight to end all they are just playing... which I understand since this is what they always wanted, but is being badly implemented.

Matakara suddenly absorbing Ichiya as the new edgelord is even more stupid, but I guess it was necessary to be solved, like I said a few chapters earlier and i guess everyone as expecting, the way to let the power of friendship™ fix everything.


I'd give this a 5 since it had some ideas, but the stupid and streched cat subplot can be considered an extra -1 or -2.

That's totally untrue, Arajin never switched personality. He only decided the stop running away from the problems he was always conscious of (being responsible of Matakara's loneliness and his current state). If you really think he just switched personality out of nowhere that just proves you didn't understand anything in that whole ass story

I enjoyed the show although if has flaws. The animation fighting scenes are great and being an original anime, must be a risk in telling the story. Of course it could have been better, I do think Matakara is really a better character than Arajin. But I appreciate Arajin for what he had done for their friendship. This is the first anime I watched this season. 7.5/10

I remember from first episode that Matakara looked like a surprised Pikachu.

Funny how only the first and last episode were any good.
And it's crazy how for a gangs fighting theme only the final fight was interesting and really great to look at.
So many annoying characters and just stupid actions happening.
Worst thing was though that Bucchigiri was just mostly boring overall.

Real shame, i guess Mappa isn't good at originals or just not the people who worked on this.
A lot of way too forced things and just poor writing, with comedy that almost never worked for me.

...the host club supposed cat girl was a real cat all along. What?

Mom misunderstanding the reason of main character not being at home... so delusional, and it confirms the apple didn't fall too far from the tree.

Come on, Arajin just had ro be "revived" just by thinking about a crush bound to be impossible?

(and why Shindo is dressed like a police officer?)

They return friends, Matakara's brother doesn't seem officially dead any more, Mahoro still rejects Arajin and has actual good reasons for it, sort of cliffhanger after the song, but not sure if i would return in case of season 2 aware that it's a anime original. Some things were too rushed, main character is flawed on many levels, comedic potential seemed a little too lost in the second half, it's a 6.5/10 at best. So many things i regretted watching in the past (almost never anime-themed), this isn't at the same level, at all, i just had hopes it could have been a little more entertaining.

The show lost its edge after that decent beach episode which before that reminds me of like watching Yakuza anime and was enjoying the cheesiness. I really found Arajin's design pretty sick that kept me going and enjoyed his character.
