The best of the season for me.

Kaguya and Shirogane still couldn't confess to each other in the end.

Perhaps in another season maybe. PLEASE BRING IT.

Sad that no sequel announcement at the end :(

10/10, AotS for me.

P.S. So glad that the series is not getting hated upon by the reviewers.

If in the ending scenes they showed the glasses girl and the shorty one (can't remember their names) I think there may be a second season...

AOTS , without a doubt.

I've read the manga and all I can say is that they've done a really spectacular job of adapting from it. I loved watching every single episode of this anime , as it never failed to make me laugh. I really hope , with all my heart , that it gets a second season . 10/10.

Boo why do they have to end it like that. These friggin mangakas and their stupid tsuderes. You'd think just this once they'd let the characters act like normal humans and say thank you. I'm fine with first making it into a gag with the airplanes, but at the end just let Kaguya say thank you. But they pull some bs instead. Give me a break. They had good resolution to the sleeping in bed incident so after something so much more impactful you'd they give us something more than a stupid gag. I wish they just ended on the fireworks. I'm sorry this kind of thing really takes the piss out of me.

For the most part I thoroughly enjoyed the series and the fireworks stuff was great, so I'm going to take a breather and not let that dumb shit ruin my rating and enjoyment.

Anime rule 101- Every slice of life school anime must have a fireworks scene.
But this anime is very good a solid 8/10 from me. The highest I rated this season's anime.

Lovely episode. I really felt for Kaguya in the beginning, but I'm glad she managed to see or not the fireworks with her friends.

I was laughing so hard in the Shirogane cringe compilation montage, that was hilarious. I have been in the same situation, looking back at many embarassing things I've said or done and wanting to die LOL

I feel like the transition from the fireworks festival to the new school term was a bit too abrupt, but it's all right. I really loved every second of this show, so I will start with the manga from the beginning, and hope that s2 will be announced at some point <3

The first half was outstanding, this show made me like these characters so much that I felt really invested. I felt so sad for Kaguya and I litteraly cheered in front of my screen when she was found by Shirogane. That scene with the fireworks was really beautiful to see and as usual the direction was on point !

Definitely one of the best Romcom I've ever seen, I was hooked since ep1 and impatiently waited for the new episode each week. AOTS by far to me and a solid 9/10

Overall rather boring and predictable, sure some few bits and pieces in some of the eps where funny and worth a little he,he,he .. , also the production was great but still i couldn't help be bored of it most of the time, the last two eps that i just finished watching was lackluster to say the least, yawn! 7/10
Also never mind a second season, when will the first season of the standalone 'Chika Fujiwara' show start? ..because i rather watch that! :D

Kaguya sure looks nice in a kimono. Though too bad that her status prevents her from going. Hayasaka's assessment of Kaguya's plight sure was interesting. Kaguya's motivation for wanting to go to see the fireworks together sure was warm. Though she missed the ones at the festival it was hearwarming to see her friends work so hard to get her the opportunity to watch another elsewhere. Thankfully they made it. Miyuki's despair of what he said back then sure was amusing. Nice return to form with their attempts to reconnect with each other though. An excellent last ep that combined well the tension and heartwarming aspect of the fireworks quest with the amusing return to their normal antic with the new school term. The ending visuals also did well in featuring all of the characters that were featured as well.

A lot of people seem to like it, but it was just a decent show for me. It was funny sometimes, but I was tired by the formulaic approach and annoyed by the childish behaviours from the two main characters. 6/10

Anime fans: If you guys are wondering, the above two are the Shuchiin Academy Discipline Committee's Osaragi Kobachi (Left) and Iino Miko (Right), the latter is one of the main characters of the manga.

Manga fans: Imagine Iino getting furious at the Student Council members for running down the hallway when they should be the role models and Osaragi trying to calm her down, haha!

During that part I almost thought Koyasu-senpai and Onodera would make their cameos, too! They should not tease us like that!

In any case, those who plan to pick up this fun manga just know that "I Can't Hear The Fireworks" is the beginning of many more outstanding chapters/arcs in the manga that are simply must reads for any avid manga reader! I hope you guys have fun!

Second best of the season after Mob Psycho 100, and that's a lot considering that Mob is probably one of my favourite anime ever and that this season also has Dororo.
Unless we get a season 2 announcement soon, I'm going to read the manga. The last time a romance manage to get me so emotional while also making me laugh every episode was a long time ago with Ouran High School Host Club.

Great ending episode! Heart beating so loud you can't hear the fireworks, that's romantic as all hell. I do think the emotions of this episode were pretty hard to carry, as this show up to this point has been very comedy focused barring about half of last episode and this one. Even so the payoff of Kaguya getting to finally do something with her friends, and the person she perhaps cares about most working so hard to make it happen was really beautiful to watch. I'm pretty worried it won't get a second season, because overall I feel like they played it as a "go read the manga!" ending. I do like that they showed us a glimpse of
I'm honestly praying for it, there's a good amount of material and the manga really builds up a lot of stuff after the ending here. Please A-1, Aka Akasaka, make it happen!! I'll be here waiting.

I'm so glad my favourite manga got such a wonderful adaptation. Everything was done so well and it felt like the staff were putting a lot of heart into it.

Overall, I give it a 9/10. Mainly because I still prefer the manga and I have that as a 10/10.

For the love of god, please give us a second season. There's definitely enough material to make one, and there's still some important characters left to be introduced (like Miko Iino who got a little cameo at the end). If Takagi-san can get a second season which follows the same formatting, I don't see why this can't. (I mean, apart from it being different studios and whatnot...)

I mean these 12 episodes are up to Chapter 45 in the manga and there is currently 143 chapters. Im up to date and all I can say is that, personally, not only was the part the anime covered a 10/10, but the entire manga at this point is a 10/10. The story only gets funnier, makes you love the characters even more, and pushes the boundaries of your expectations.

It would be a shame if season 2 doesn't get announced soon!

Especially with over 140 chapters, it'd definitely be a major shame. I really want a second season. This was really good. And fun too.

I don't watch many rom-coms and SOL shows but Kaguya is definitely in the top 3. Only beaten by Clannad and Melancholy of Haruhi.

The show is very good and the quality never plunders. It's by far the most consistent anime I've watched in a while. I recommend it to anyone, even if you're not a fan of rom-coms and SOL anime. It's a perfect gateway anime to the SOL genre. Also i got a lot of laughs out of it but comedy is subjective so i can't say if anyone will be amused as much as i was.

Kaguya is a pure 9/10.

oh, man. really sad to see this one go. i loved it so much.
the entire fireworks scene was so precious. especially when shinomiya couldn't look away from shirogane. so, so cute!

also, shirogane cringing over his own past words is very, very relatable.

9/10. ishigami was the man.
hopefully we'll get a second season!

Very heartwarming anime even for someone like me,who doesn't like romance.
It was something new and special and now that's it's over all I do is hope for a sequel.

Seriously, there aren't many anime I haved loved this much!

Adored the characters, beautiful and interesting artstlye and comedy.

I don't give 10s but for me it's at least a 9/10.

At the first glance of the cover it didn't seem to be much of interest, boy was I wrong.
Glad to have picked it up :)

I'm so happy that of all the mangas out there, one of my all-time favorites got one of the best anime adaptations I've ever seen. The love that A-1 put into this is mind-boggling, I haven't seen a studio produce a show with so much love since David Production started doing JoJo.

A very easy 10/10, one of the better animes I've seen in terms of production, quality, characters, music, animation, directing. I could go on but I think I've gotten my point across

Also, GO AND READ THE MANGA. It's after this (chapter 45) that it becomes even better

Man, if it weren't for Mob Psycho, this woud be my top show of the season. An excellent romcom with outstanding visual comedy, and the situations the characters were put in were very interesting and unpredictable. A simple premise of two tsunderes trying to get the other to declare their love taken to a remarkable high that made me appreciate a genre of fiction I normally despise. I would have liked a bit more development on how the two met, but this was really good nonetheless. I want a Season 2!

Well, if you told me after the first 2 episodes that I'd give it a 9/10 I wouldn't believe you. Amazing comedy, over the top yet self-aware, interesting characters with fascinating personalities and staff having loads of fun making this show. It (temporarily I suppose, as when I'll watch second season of 3-gatsu it will be higher as a franchise) lands on spot #10 of my all-time list. Fingers crossed for another season!

finally got to watching the ep, they did a fantastic job with the fireworks arc, really captured the emotion of it and sold it.

I dont expect a s2, which is a damn shame cause this season mostly adapted the weakest parts of the series before it starts to expand what its capable of especially since theres a far wider supporting cast and way more dramatic moments like this episode, and thats all in addition to the character development and continuity and all that good stuff that makes the status quo change as a proper pace as to not get stale, alot happened in the 100 chapters that arent adapted and at a way faster pace than the stuff covered so far. So even if I dont expect one im hoping im wrong and we do get one. Plus miko needs her damn screentime, it feels weird seeing all this fanart of the main cast with her missing just cause she wasnt in the anime. The fact she at least gets a cameo makes me slightly more hopeful for a possible s2 but I think if it doesnt get announced in the next couple months its probably not gonna happen.


Major props to the voice actors of this series, all of them are pretty much up and comers but they all killed it especially kaguya's voice actress.

I can relate to the President so much, saying something you thought was cool at the moment, but looking back and cringing. Usually though, no one pays attention to you more than yourself when remembering embarassing moments. People pay attention to their own mistakes more than anyone else. Anyway, I don't like how neither confessed their love, but I still liked the ending. No one said it, but it was implied. I love how the whole school followed them. Great series 9/10. I loved everything, the voice acting, the humor, the setting, it was all so enjoyable. Good show, would recommend. I would've liked a better ending though

Great series. Although I don't think the finale was that special - felt like such a standard romcom drama situation. But, regardless, this was a lot of fun. The comedy was the best part of the show in the end, and how they animated it. Oh yea and the VAs were fucking phenomenal.

Really loved this show, I was disappointed by the first episode as I saw the main characters as just annoyingly stuck up and snobbish, and wasn't sure I was prepared for 11 more eps of "Ha! In your face!" with a romantic twist. However, even by ep. 2 my mind was already changed. There were some really unexpected jokes, great visual humor, and the characters ended up as a lot warmer than I feared. I was surprised how emotional this last episode made me. However, with the way things ended, I'll be real disappointed if there's no S2.
