| Truly many happy moments happening right now. Really would want to know what this show and what these kids would do if it wasn't for my goat Pin. Everyone walked out of there with someone by their sides at last. Though the one who came out on top truly was these two because in only FIVE EPISODES THEY KISSED... AHHH（>﹏<）（>﹏<） Took long enough after making us see all the characters but the main ones having progression in their relationships. Never would've thought I'd be happy to see these two just having some proper communication after having anything but it this entire arc. We got some proper communication, a kiss, some hand holding, and the cherry on top, A KISS ON THE CHEEK. If this doesn't make this the best episode, then IDK what does. Kazehaya a real bro for staying with Miura on the phone for the ENTIRE night. All to brag about Ayane lmaoooo. Don't blame the guy at all. Phone call aside, that whole convo with the trio in Sawako's bedroom just proves how much of a kuncklehead, blockhead and every other dumb head Chizu really is lol. Sawako ain't to different either. Chizu doesn't say anything and automatically thinks it was something naughty with Ryuu... xD Find it funny how everyone just started coming to Sawako's house like it was nothing lol. Then poor pops finally had the new broken for him that the hat was made for Kazehaya and NOT him. Wanted someone to break the news, but I kinda feel bad now lol. They all celebrated in the end together and hell yeah, pops in on board the Kazehaya train. W pops as usual. NOOOOO THAT'S IT???? Sigh. Hopefully this just the end of the first part of this season and we won't have to wait another 13 years.  |

how many chapters does cover
| @StarWars2000 I think this adaptation ended at Chapter 76. Still got like roughly 45-50ish chapters to adapt I think. |
| It's more Kimi ni Todoke and while I disliked the forced melodrama and most of the characters as usual from the series, a part of me did feel nostalgic in a way too. I did actually like that the series managed to maintain the art style from 13 years ago with very minimal changes that might not even be noticeable, and the pace does seem a bit better than the first 2 seasons too. Might feel slow because the episodes had to go 1 hour long each for some reason but when looking at how much was adapted before with roughly 45-47ish chapters done in 37 episodes, this covered close to 30 I think in five 1-hour episodes, equivalent to a normal 1-cour anime. The format might not be the best but hey, that part was an improvement since season 1 and particularly 2 felt like it was going absolutely nowhere for long stretches of time, which this didn't feel quite as much. While there is still more to cover, the ending itself is a decent place to wrap up this season at least for sure. Just wish I actually felt for the characters this time around since the conflicts and drama in general just was unwatchable and poor for me involving all characters this time around. At least some progression took place as a result, even if the Sawako-Kazehaya stuff is still not charming at all for me. Sawako's parents were nice to watch in the finale too seeing Sawako grow with her friends and even be in a relationship now compared to where she was at the start of the series. |
| It's both great and a bit sad at the same time that this was a batch release and not weekly. |
 |
| waiting for Season 4 now😭😭😭😭😭 |
| Such a wave of nostalgia... I love this gang. Beautifully done!  |
| Took me all day because I constantly paused and started because of the waves of emotion I was overcome with at various points. Sat here with tears in my eyes man. Never would’ve thought that not only would we get Kimi ni Todoke back after all these years, but that it would be better than both the previous seasons. Thank you to all the staff involved for bringing this back to us. If we never get a season 4, I can sleep well given where this left off with everyone in a loving relationship and having grown tremendously. Above all else I got to shoutout Kento man he was the MVP of this season. Went from being an annoying prick in season 2 to one of my fave characters. His emotional intelligence really impressed me. Sticking up for Ayane and refusing to leave her alone, knocking the shit out of that annoying bum Mogi.. I didn’t think there would be the level of complexity to his character that we got this season. Genuinely great dude and exactly what Ayane deserves. Their confession scene was perfection 😭 Ryu and Chizuru’s relationship was probably my second favourite thing. The backstory episode where we saw how Ryu’s mom died and how it affected both he and Chizuru.. how they’ve been each other’s support system ever since childhood.. they truly are soulmates and I couldn’t be more happy with how their development was handled. It is truly time to start something new for them ❤️ SAWAKO AND KAZEHAYA FIRST KISS. Who would’ve thought it would be Sawako initiating it??? Our baby’s grown up right before our eyes. Can you imagine the girl we saw in episode 1 back in 2009 doing this?? It was hard watching them be distant in those last couple episodes but I’m so glad she and Kazehaya both fully opened up to one another. It won’t always be easy, but when you have two people who love each other like this they’ll find a way. I really felt Sawako’s dad emotions there at the end, especially when they played the first OP like cmon are yall trying to make me ugly cry!!?? 😭 he’s so protective and caring for Sawako and you can just tell how worried he was about her when she was so closed off and isolated from everyone. Seeing her have friends and a boyfriend who truly respects and cares for her has to be the best feeling as a father. When he notices that she’s grown taller than him it reminded me of the TTGL dream sequence with Kamina and Simon in that it’s a double entendre for Sawako having literally grown, but also metaphorically grown past the stage where he needs to protect her so much. Just love those last few minutes so much. What a beautiful ending, I’d love another season of course but if it ends there I’d be content too. Now we need more Akayona and Chihayafuru 😭 |

| despite the usual drama, this was definitely the best season. also wasn't a fan of the batch release and 1hr length episodes idea, but i still managed to like this more than the previous two seasons. bunch of cute moments with nice visuals, also kento wasn't annoying this time. let's see when/if the rest of the series gets adapted. |
 |
| No OP. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| MORE ! I WANT MORE! Seriously, God bless whoever at Netflix made the executive decision to pick up kimi ni todoke, and bless the director and animators for bringing the entirely same vibe from the first 2 seasons. I loved the hr long eps, the only thing that was bad about it was the sheer emotional Rollercoaster. no breathing room, just tears! I know some people hate misunderstandings, but this season was less about misunderstandings and more about emotional expression. kazehaya didn't know how to express his feelings without feeling pushy. and instead he went too far in the opposite direcrion. For once it was kazehaya's "fault" and not sawako being silly. What does kazehaya mean he can't "control himself" like damn. bro needs to relieve himself jfc I adore. adore sawako. she's so precious. Kimi ni todoke is peak romance anime. it has such amazing highs and lows, perfectly placed drama and comedy. UGH. We still don't know what exactly happened with Ryu and Chizu, but we can probably guess. and Sawako keeping their kiss to herself is so cute. let her have this ! this season exceeded expectations, and my expectations were already high. omgomg. I'm gonna go collapse now from watching almost all in one day. my heart is gonna give out |
 |
| i cant believe its over i need MORE also i dont understand people who dislike this show? most complaints i see are about the characters being clueless or misunderstanding things, its a damn shoujo high school romance drama what are you expecting??? |
 |
| It was such a pleasant experience to have this show back after so long. Loved this thoroughly. Only thing that was missing was the best girl Kurmi, but she should be back in a future season, if they decide to make one. I really hope they do because this show deserves to be completed. |
| I'm so glad everything turned out great by the end of the season T_T Ryu x Chizuru is moving nicely. AYANE IS DATING KENTOOOO But above all I'm glad everything was resolved for our main couple ^^ Sawako is so cute. That was such a great Christmas party too. Also, mini Sawako in the photo albums was so cute! I really hope they make another sequel to cover the rest of the chapters. 9/10. |
 |
| 9/10, really liked the manga chapter's selection, animation and everything. If you watch season 1, 2 and now season 3 in a row you wouldn't believe the production time difference! Not too much drama, slow but nice, bitter sweet shoujo! |
 |
| Fantastic finale and season. Every episode and second of this was a delight. Been a while since I've seen S2, so I almost forgot how peak this shoujo is. Definitely one of my all time favorite series. Hope we won't have to wait too long for S4. 2-3 years would be fair 🤞🏻 |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I am glad they made this. S2 wasn't the best place to end, this seems more of a proper end. Sawako is the preciousest thing.. |
| I watched the first few minutes while clenching my fist ready to punch Kazehaya because HE MADE SAWAKO CRY!!! AND IT WASN'T A HAPPY CRY!! ugh. The kisses were nice though T____T "Because I love him, every little thing means so much to me" omg. I don't know what to say but I swear Sawakaze has a very sweet and sincere relationship! So precious ♡ On the other side, it was so cute and I was amused to see Chizu blushing at Ryu :3 Ayane and Miura too! Congrats! ♡ somehow I just realized that Miura is actually kind of cute. Lol. Every illustration in the ending is truly beautiful. The Christmas party too, we know it means a lot to Sawako :") her father did a good job!! This really doesn't feel like the last episode. I know that just getting a third season is already a miracle, but if there is another miracle for a fourth season then that would be amazing. |
 |
| Loved this finale so much! Especially that it came out as 5 one hour long episodes. I'm now a married man in my 30s and this was an amazing throwback to watching season 1 all those years ago :) Thank you Kimi ni Todoke! I hope we meet again <3 |
 |
| I watched the 3 seasons back to back. This whole show is painfully slow. The characters are cute and funny but it's just an ok series overall imo. 6/10 |

| The drama between Kazehaya and Sawako was a bit annoying but overall loved it. I really hope there will be not only S4 but a full adaptation of the manga someday. |
 |
| I took my time watching it since I prefer to watch episodes weekly. But I need a fourth season, no matter if it takes another 13 years, because as seen, it's worth it. Seeing the progression in Sawako and Kazehaya's relationship again was beautiful, but undoubtedly the best part was the secondary characters this time. Ayane and Kento were very sweet. But Chizuru and Ryuu were the highlight of it all; I hope to see more of them. |

| Ending the episode off like that with the sweet Kuronuma household moments got me a little teary eyed. Hint for possible university migration? I'm guessing that's what the remaining 11 volumes will eventually focus on, huh? Got to thank Netflix for bringing back this gem of a series! Honestly, if they don't make another season for it, I'd be okay too. I just wanted something, anything and they've already fulfilled that. And not to mention, it ends off on a wonderful note too! Some of the drama felt a little long but expectedly so. I guess with the 1-hour episode lengths, it feels like they could really get to the core of it for which I'm thankful. But there's something about the 24 minute timeframe that's just the best formula, imho. But enough about that, I'm so glad all the characters finally got their share of happiness! Ayane-san's story in particular was a really nice treat. Chizuru-chan and Ryuu honestly have been dating from the get-go so no final word on that works just fine, xD. Keeping the same animation style was perfect, especially those Sawako goofy faces. New ED every episode was pretty cool too and Imase-san always delivers! Solid 8/10 from here. |

| And so it's over once more. I've said this already but I'm so glad they revived this anime and stayed (mostly) faithful to the manga. Apparently season 3 skipped 4 manga chapters which is disappointing, but I still enjoyed this. The entire cast matured so much in this season, and we really got more fleshed out backstories as to why they're the way they are. I loved seeing the christmas party arc animated, it was always one of my favorites in the manga. Sawako and Kazehaya working things out so they can move past his stupidity, Kento standing up for and confessing to Ayane, even Chizuru finally realizing she also has feelings for Ryu. All these moments made this arc so great. Chizuru and Ryu still have a bit longer to go before being in an official relationship, but a slow burn couple is never a bad thing. Sawako's parents are always a joy and you can really tell how she became a great person because of them. Also the winter feel is just really cozy :) As for the structure, I didn't mind the 60ish minute episodes, as it made it easier to pace myself instead of binging. Sure there's only 5 episodes this season, but the same amount of content would need to be covered in 14 episodes with the old shorter length, meaning this season was about as long as season 2 (slightly longer) in pure runtime. I agree with those that disliked the batch release, though. Weekly releases are always better for discussion and keep the hype up. Not to mention they keep you thinking and processing on the show longer. For people that want to binge, they could just wait until every episode had come out. That's just my opinion. This entire series is so heartwarming and I'd be satisfied either way if they decide to do season 4 or not. Such a happy note to end on. |
| Everyone got their happy ending, what a way to end this series. |
