| my goat mahiru pulling that lil bitchboy amane and giving him a peck, she valid. one of the cutest, heartwarming anime this season (and overall?!?) but goddamn did the production quality suck ASS. at least we got a good and really cute ending. genuinely hope that the bluray is better (if there is any). Project.9 really is a below average studio istg. |
| This is really is the type of anime you cant judge at first! No style and all substance, just how I like it! 8/10 Really enjoyed it, the last moment was the best part. |
| Honestly you could replace a lot of the contents of this show with a random teenager's school roleplay session and it would be pretty much the same. |
 |
| Well I can certainly say I won't be missing this show in the slightest. It'd be passable at best if all I had wanted was some visually bland wish fulfillment thing but coming in hoping for any level of decent romance it's been a complete failure. Source readers run around talking about it being a slow burn but really their relationship had just stagnated and been padded out for episode after episode with barely any actual genuine developments beyond just enough of a tease each time at there being something concrete happening to move them beyond this "absolutely not at all definitely not basically already dating totally just friends" stage they've been firmly stuck in for pretty much the entire series. Which could be somewhat redeemable if the mains were at least able to carry the show but Amane and Mahiru are just the most absolutely nothing characters possible, even when the writer tried to introduce some level of dimensionality in them it was with the most cliche'd backstory elements possible and barely really leaned into it. They have zero charisma in any interaction throughout the show with basically any single cast member and between the two of them there's just not an ounce of chemistry. Even worse than that, the way they engage with one another is completely alien, that plus all the touching one another but completely not actually acknowledging feelings they both have is unbearable to see episode after episode. Like holy shit 12th episode alone kicks off with Amane just going "if only I knew she actually liked me" after getting a kiss on the cheek as a response to him threatening that the next time she says he's cute or something like that he'll silence her without using his hand (which by the way wasn't at all a bloody awful scene in the first place.) Apparently that's somehow just not obvious enough of a sign on top of all the other obvious signs throughout the entire show on both sides. 3/10 |

| I won. Ahhh... so fucking good. Mahiru X Amane for life. They finally confessed and it was so cute. I was so happy when Mahiru said those things to those boys. Love her so much. What an end to this season. I'm hoping there will be another season for this show. |
 |
| Mahiru handle that situation very well! Oh such a sweet end for this season, I hope second season comes fast! Tonikawa here we go! |
Jagermeister-kun said: Funny you should say that, looks like it might fill the aching void a little.Tonikawa here we go! |
 |
| This ended up being a decent romcom with more SoL elements than comedy. We got a kiss on the cheek from Mahiru and Amane asking to date Mahiru so there were some good developments in this episode. Amane's mom was a good wing-woman and so was Chitose. However, speaking of Chitose, how was she able to have Amane pick the right card during the sports event? Chitose seemed to play matchmaker during that but it was a little strange how it worked out perfectly. Also, Amane annoyed me a bit at times with not only his indecisiveness but also with the weak background as to why he ended up in an apartment next to Mahiru (I believe it was some kids using him but hey at least it worked out as far as meeting Mahiru). The character designs were good but the animation was lacking. I mostly liked the storyline but I felt it dragged at times. Overall I give this a 7/10 as it was still good. |
sbyrstall2 said: Yes, there's plenty. And the author's said she wants to keep the story going until she gets to see MahiruIs there enough source material for a S2 or is that just wishful thinking? |
|
| Fujimiya finally gives in at long last, I guess Mahiru's hard work finally payed of, I guess cornering Fujimiya was the best option otherwise he wouldn't be pushed to confessing to her anytime soon had their relationship had been kept private, Sports Festival really did it for him, with their relationship going public, he had no choice but to make her his. |
Thoguht said: Yes, indeed. But probably Tonikawa will increase the sweetness that we have this season. Funny you should say that, looks like it might fill the aching void a little. So we will not miss much this magnum opus. |
| Finally we get a kiss! The world is at peace again ^_^ Overall very nice and relaxing anime to wind down with. 7/10 |
 |
| The angel next door spoils me rotten, also known as, "Amane gives himself blue balls for half a season." Super slow build up, but a very cute couple in the end. No real kiss was a tiny let down, but oh well. I'm not a huge romance fan as it is, so whatever. Mahiru was cute from ep 1 to ep 12 and thats what i was here for. 7/10 |
  |
| Truly wholesome, hope I will read the novel one day. |
   |
| good conclusion ep finally someone gives an utility to that stupid event of recollect pieces of papers in a school event |
 |
| although the ending was expected, still this shows cute af. The ending was also pretty good but I kinda expected a kiss but whatever, still cute end and show in the end. |
 |
sbyrstall2 said: Well, yeah, there were a few, and even more to come in LN V5 (S2????).I wonder if anyone else caught the similarities. But there's only so many things you can do in a romance. It's like music - you only have 12 different notes to play with so there are bound to be tunes that sound similar. |
|
| I couldn't finish because I was traveling in Japan. But when I got home it was the first thing I did. I'm glad I watched this great anime. The ending made my heart skip a beat and I really rejoice. Few series already make me feel something. I really liked the ending and I hope I can enjoy much more of this series. I hope the novel excites me as much as the anime. I'm so glad that I started this anime one day without realizing it. I felt identified to Amane. And although I did not have the same luck. I feel that I am the same to Maybe I should try a little harder. I hope that by reading the novel I can discover much more about what will happen and I hope I like it. It is certainly something worthwhile. since it comforts your heart  |
| I want more.So much wholesome |

| so this was ayanokoji's untold backstory, being roast by mahiru before the events of classroom of the elite and later got a girlfriend who look like her? i guess the anime has end, that was a fun ride tho. |
 |
| One last dose.. Well they delivered years worth of diabetes, ik it's good for health but something should go like forever fr.. Am already at hospital because of this anime and now heard tonikawa s2 coming in April look like my days are now numbered 1:45 i thought they dropped the bomb already uhhh they really did god what wait on cheeks? nah did i got bamboozle twice ๐ฟ The gap is closing lil by lil now se- ahem-_-.. Seeshh it's been long time or First time? That i paused an ep this many time to take breath bruhh this anime is far too much Sweet for our health I can't.. well as they say everything has an end.. it was a great journey indeed.. i better see another season or imma do itachi thing.. |
 |
| Episode was decent but they cut a lot stuff out like always. But still decent nonetheless |
| Finally a proper confession (albeit with no kiss scene) after 11 episodes of practically nothing. Chitose's intentions could have backfired in such a bad way but thankfully, Mahiru's simps are just walking jokes and not vengeful pricks. Thus Chitose, MVP of this finale. But seriously, no matter what this episode would have offered, it wouldn't have saved this show from being a total snoozefest for 11 whole episodes. It was such a drag to see both MCs denying the obvious and finally deciding to take some initiative just when the show was concluding. Production values were mediocre at best, dialogues felt unnatural for the most part, Mahiru and Amane's banter moments felt incredibly forced and to this point, I still see Amane as another generic self-insert. I mean, Mahiru's simps are literal nobodies but they weren't lying when they were describing MC. For real, this season could have been shortened to 4-5 episodes with better direction and pacing and the impact would have been stronger. 4/10 - So... Sofa-kun best character? He was always there to support our MCs, after all. |

SouthRzVa said: The biggest thing that was wrong structurally with this show was that it was too short, not too long. It's not about the destination, it's about the journey, about the slow, subtle changes that take place in a relationship as it moves from antagonism to indifference to friendship to love. It's like gardening, you plant a seed and water it and watch over it, and it becomes a tiny shoot, then leaves appear, it slowly grows and then finally, after a long time and a lot of care, it flowers.For real, this season could have been shortened to 4-5 episodes with better direction and pacing and the impact would have been stronger. |

perfectionFound said: I get your point too, I'm just gonna go back to what I thought earlier though, which is it can depend on your own experience. I can totally identify with Amane because I've been in a similar situation. Uncannily similar in some ways. But there you are, it really resonates with me and probably doesn't with a lot of people. Which is not to make out I'm superior or anything at all, it's just the way things are for me.I get that point but it doesn't apply to this anime because by episode 6 they where 100% a couple already and they just dragged the kiss for 6 more episodes. |
|
| What a very cute and sweet anime. That confession was absolutely perfect. |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| tears of happiness towards the end there ๐ beautiful confession, beautiful art, beautiful characters, beautiful anime, a delightful experience through and through, guess you could say this one spoiled me rotten ๐ I hope we only get more and more such satisfying, slow burn, purely wholesome stories ๐ |

| Quite a mixed bag for me. The show had it's ups and downs, and specially the early episodes were kind of a chore to watch because of both Shiina and Amane's cold personalities (that eventually change with character growth in the long run, which is a good thing). There's also the very lively and needed ambiance that Chii-chan and Itsuki bring to the group. On the other hand it feels quite a slog plenty of times with very long dialogues between Shiina & Amane. I'm okay with banter, and I admit I'm quite against long dialogues product of light novel titles (if I would have wanted to read long dialogues I'd rather go for the source). The poor animation down to really bad animation and poor art in a couple of episodes also put a dent on my enjoyment. But probably my biggest gripe is that the whole concept does feel like just wish fulfilment and a fantasy for the average guy to get a house wife without all the steps to go in an intimate relationship. I'll give it a 6.5 just because there were some really good portions in both main's character growth. |

| I guess in the end Mahiru carried this show more than Amane dragged it down. |
| That was a cute way to end the series! |
| All men, kings or peasants, die equally. |
| no kissing scene ?? LMAO probably the worst ending !! |
