| Man, this anime sure likes to mess around with bizarre teases. Kinda cute this episode did have some music elements added to it. They should've used that more throughout the season imo. I was expecting a big party for the season finale but the way this episode went gave an adventure vibe. This had more humor as usual but the relationship parts felt more open with the main cast. It was a fun ride overall imo, a very light show with humor. |
 |
| It was a sweet finale in the end ig, with granny and all lol, but that still doesn't save the overall show for me. Idk, something about the way it's formatted that I just really can't get invested. The art style also doesn't help. And the romance.. god the romance in this show is either nonexistent half the time, or when it is, it's some of the worst I've seen. And the main girl is just plain. Higa-san carried me to slog through the show every week. Still though, this was still 10x better than the Hokkaido one, 100% But at least with the Hokkaido one, there was some things to make me want to go visit it one day, this show did the complete OPPOSITE, as I do NOT want to ever step foot in Okinawa if it is THIS complicated to understand. |
 |
| The main finally starting to take notice of Kana hopefully something will happen between the two, Kana has been trying so hard. And the misunderstanding from last week is solved tho i still wonder who the girl was. Also a mention of the war, i heard people in Okinawa where treated pretty bad at that time so it's a good thing times changed. |
| Ah I’m gonna miss my weekly cultural lessons so much! Really nice final episode, we got a nice mix of Okinawan culture and an explanation about the link between Teeru, Kana and Hina! Still no clue as to who’s gonna win, but one things for sure, this trio is going to stay together for a long time. I really enjoyed the musical lesson. Who would’ve thought that Okinawa even has a different melody chart than the rest of the world! It’s cool that the Kankara Sanshin was born out of the pain and suffering of WW2, leave it to Okinawans to make something so iconic out of a horrific period and turn it into a cultural symbol of pride! SHAMAN KING REFERENCE! They even have shamans on this island, eh? The Kana and Hina backstory scenes are always so good, and now it makes a lot of sense why they gel so well with Teeru. They share an en(connection) and that’s for life. This grew on me a lot over the last couple of months. Not an amazing show but it was fun! Kana best girl. |

| Somewhat bland conclusion given how last week left off, but overall I guess this is more in tune with how the show was for the majority, I.E: a roundabout ad for Okinawa filled with trivia. Was never really about the romance to begin with. |
  |
| Really nice finale Am going to miss this show so much it was always a highlight of the week for me I really hope and would love to see this get a second season. |
| FAKE OUT!!!!!! You Bastards!!!! Shoulda known Teeruu would not step up. Hiinaa choked a bit also. First misunderstanding her own cultural bit that the pattern only signified romance when given woman to man, and secondly not capitalizing on her situation to pounce on Teeruu. Bah all around. Good Kaanaa first though of making sure her BFF was okay, rather than pouncing on her crush, Very virtuous. "The melody of their souls is on sale?!" Bargain souls for sale? Where? Want some. Manga Brain Nowhere near enough romance in the whole season. He did blush for Kaanaa a bit, indicating that side of the triangle may be scaling up. And, I have to deduct 1/2 point for not showing us any tan lines on all those well baked bods. |

| Lord Cruelty V "But my Dreams they're not as empty, as my conscience seems to be" |
| That was all a misunderstanding from Hiinaa. Our boi, Teeruu, 's heart was swaying a bit by bit. So Kaanaa still had her chance, a big chance. Twelve Kaanaa from twelve episodes. ah yes, sanshin, the melody of Okinawa |

| Ah, yeah a confession was not bound to happen at all now, this seems like the kind of series where sicne that's not really the focus over the Okinawan facts they'd probably leave that for much later. Either way, I can't say I didn't enjoy it. As a romcom it works mixing both customs and memos from local tradition with cute interactions from a love triangle. The presentation is on point with slick shots better than some current fantasy shows and the folk and sashin tuned songs from the soundtrack set the scene. But what I found the most rewarding were the backstory moments from Kaana and Hiina's childhood, showing how much they trust each and have grown together. It's both blessing and heartwarming for some scenes that might otherwise have to depend on Teruu who's not that interesting of a main character to be honest. In any case, I don't hink this will get a second season but it was good while it lasted. It made other advertisement anime like Super Cub look bland. |

| What a rip-off! Even though I knew it would all end in a misunderstanding… well, maybe this will make Hina develop feelings for Teru. The story behind the Kankara Sanshin was really interesting—an instrument that brought peace to people suffering after the war. But man, that old guy is one heck of a salesman—$40 for a stick and a can? 😅 Overall, it's a decent anime, very cute and relaxing, while offering insight into Okinawan culture. It's a little disappointing that the romantic moments didn't really develop, but that's to be expected from a cultural tourism anime. Still, I'm hopeful that there will be a second season, especially after they introduced the purple-haired girl in the previous episode. |

| It was an alright anime. You got what you expected, at the end of the day I do wish the anime was shorter, like 10 episodes, and maybe make each episode like 10 minutes long, instead of the standard 20 minutes. Male MC is alright to follow around, even if hes nothing special. You really root for Kana, since shes very adorable and a beauty. Given, it makes no sense how she was crushing on a forgettable character like the male MC, SIMPLY BECAUSE HE GOT HER HAT!!!! LIKE COME ON!!!! A little more nuance would have been appreciated, for the way she was crushing on him, and not because of the dumb-hat. |
| With Hina clearly at a standstill recognizing love for the first time, the last time she's ever approached this is with her own grandparents...though from Teru, the minsa-weave handkerchief...is just a complimentary thing for the modern age, though old-timers will know it's a confession. Which...once again, this is yet a misunderstanding, but from Hina's end. Yelp, to see a kunkunshi Sanshin music sheet as a "demonic spell" of sorts, it's interesting to know that even their integration of music is also quite different, and Kana can sure impress Teru with that. And while Sanshin are sure as expensive, making one (kankara) is easily worth for all the Okinawa tradition they've lived through, the good and bad. And with that being cheap to acquire and learn, the gateway to Sanshin music is pretty much there for everyone. To think that mabui can attribute to one's personal life being, more than the Shaman King reference, it's all up to personal preference...though Teru thinking of shamans being manga-brained as such, seeking a yuta (which is close to a doctor/nurse, but more of a therapist) did help relieve some of the soul he's lacking. The two girls on the other hand, thinking about their "en" (connection or bonds), and certainly, meeting someone outside from the mainland (which is Teru) is a blessing for them to create a new connection. Overall, this is certainly better than the last regionalized rom-com (Dosanko Gal) that we got, and is a lot more enjoyable in this state. |

| Really nice anime. I'm gonna miss my weekly Okinawan culture introduction. The cliffhanger in the end of the previous episode turn out to be, once again, a joke, guess the romance isn't going to move forward. At very least, Teru finally noticed Kana! I really like the music lesson scene, it is very sweet, and the fact that such a simple thing as self-made sanshin is connected to the post-war period is very symbolic. Overall, a good episode and pretty sweet ending. Really hope for the second season. So long, Okinawans! |
| Was that hope for Best Girl Kana I saw there by the end!? Long overdue thats for sure. |
 |
| damn i was baited by last ep so hard |
| another red herring aw, but at least we know Kyan wouldn't be against the idea most likely, if they make S2 I am all in but I'll probaby pick up the manga before that |
| Okay, Hina misunderstood Teru's gesture, although it is very interesting that the scene hints she might have some feelings for him. But later on we get a short moment where Teru suddenly becomes very self-aware of Kana. And to top it off, we have that flashback scene which teases us even more. Basically, if we ever get a second season, we might go full love triangle mode after all haha. A pretty solid conclusion to what ended up being a very good show. By far one of the best series this season imo: a lot of hilarious scenes, quite a bit of learning (about okinawan culture and places and people), plus plenty of cute blushing Kana moments. I really loved this one, I'm certain I'll rewatch it pretty soon to enjoy the ride once again :) |

| It's funny that even though Kyan was supposed to be the best girl on the show, fans liked Hina ten times more. @MomoSinX The manga remains essentially the same, just expanding the cast. |
 |
| I can't describe this anime as anything other than casual. It's just fun to watch, while also learning about the Okinawan culture. |
 |
| Glad Kana got a chance at the end and the main character noticed her, and a score of 10 this anime just doesn't have any minuses. |
| It’s not over for us Higa bros yet! One of the few times I’m glad the cliffhanger was bait lol, but it was really sweet of Higa for her first response to that situation to be to help Kyan, they truly are best friends. Best bit of the episode had to be the Sanshin one imo, that is such a cool instrument, and the history associated with it really made that part for me, the old store owner watching the younger generation do as he did was very wholesome, these are good times indeed. And the shaman part was a good way to end the show with Teruaki reflecting on his time in Okinawa, and for the first person he sees when he opens his eyes to be Higa… hopefully that means something! And the flashback bit directly after tied it all together perfectly, so that shaman from when Higa and Kyan were kids predicted that they would become so close with someone far away, I’m not one for spiritual stuff but I like how it’s used here. And that was it for the Okinawa with a side of romance anime, I enjoyed the hell out of this, I’d say it was a tad bit better than the Hokkaido one despite it leaning more towards the SoL side than romance. And yeah, maybe Kyan was a weak romantic interest when Higa was right there and was the main source of romantic moments in the show, but I still really enjoyed Kyan as a character, her Uchinaaguchi was always fun to hear and she’s adorable in her own right, and really her existence is why Higa’s greatness was so prominent anyway, so maybe we should be thanking her lol. But that being said, Higa just solos man, the author really struck gold with her, I’m hoping there’s a reveal later on where she’s the true romantic interest, but for now I really appreciate her moments in the show. And that OP was so delightful and catchy, same with the EDs, but I’m glad they went with the original for the end, aka my favorite of the bunch, and with that I hope we get a Season 2 one day or maybe another SoL/Romance anime focused on one part of Japan, I’d really love that. |
| I don't mind the ending, very sweet. Sad to see this anime go. |
| Once again, I could care less about the so called romance in this show as it was more or less an advertisement to promote tourism in Okinawa. I do want to visit Okinawa some day so this anime was perfect for me. |
 |
| I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN... There's always a punchline with this show lmao. I thought we were going to have a fairly serious episode, but knowing this show, of course... Still enjoyable as always. Love this show so much |
| If you expected anything other than another misunderstanding, watch more anime. I do hope we get a continuation though. Very relaxing. |
| Can't believe it was a misunderstanding AAAGH I was so hyped for the aftermatch of the confession! XD The cute anime ended in a cute way. I'm so sad I'm not going to see Kana anymore next week... Rooting for a season 2! |
  Imouto suki Tsundere-Chuuni-Imoutos save me...   |
Reply to phantomfandom
A total of 65 Okinawa trivia were made. Japan's soft power is expanding through anime.
| @phantomfandom They should have made 13 episodes so there's 69 Okinawa memos. The true purpose of the show is as a tourist ad for Okinawa. I ain’t mad, it’s really well-done. Also want to point out how precious the friendship between Higa and Kyan is. If they wanna advance the romance, there’s a potential S2 for that, perhaps. The best part for me is the gag and meta humor, best exemplified with the "The World" JoJo reference and the Yoh silhouette in this episode. And I guess we now learned how Okkotsu Yuta got his name. |
| Sad that it's over. Going to miss this show |
 |
| Overall not great, not terrible...but I'm seriously going to miss seeing Kana every week |
