| The performance scenes always feel so short is it just me? maybe because she lost time and was only able to sing the second half of the song? Mahiru's character design and voice so hot anyways I think it wrapped itself too well that I wont be expecting any second season anytime soon. The drama between Kano and her former group member she had a beef with is resolved and her deal with her mother somewhat lessen a whole bunch. ig this isn't your typical cutesy musical anime it focused more on the development of characters. It wasn't that bad but its rushed and it is full of drama than what we are used to when it comes to these type of theme 7/10 |
| Really disappointing finale. Too many convenient and rushed "happy endings" that felt undeserved. The shows first half was an easy 9/10, but the last 3 or 4 episodes didn't have any of the things I loved. |
 |
| started out really strong but fell apart in the last couple episodes. Still one of my favorite first episodes in a long while though now bittersweet in hindsight. |
| Yup, just as I predicted, we got the "everyone lived happily ever after" type of ending. I'm definitely getting some of the songs on my MP3 player, but the anime itself is unfortunately quite forgettable, at least to me. |
| Overall one of the best shows this season, I still prefer GBC for various reasons mainly the music and Nina. But this show has been great Yukine acknowledging Kano made me tear up a bit. I really understand why people would hate Yukine as a character but honestly I'd argue she's one of the best characters in the show. I'm glad we got Yoru back with the girls finally and there group all together again. I'd love a season 2 but honestly the ending was perfect so I wont be mad if we never get one. |
| I would say the ending was satisfactory enough. I think anyone that says this ending wasn't clearly massively rushed is lying to themselves or has very lenient standards. This was my favorite show this season, it sucks massively that it couldn't stick the landing in the final few episodes but even still I can't bring myself to give this anything below a 7/10 despite my issues with it. |

| Maybe a few more episodes would have made this better? |

I still have a record player, so I'm not really one to talk, but an mp3 player just seems more inconvenient when outside compared to modern-day music streaming services, not about class. |
| It's not a masterpiece but this was a very well done show. Drama can be done well when you aren't forcing it. This was such a heart warming and wonderful show. Easy 9 out of 10 |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| The ending is predictable but very rushed lmao, why make unnecessary drama and characters that seem evil but it turns out that these characters have no clear purpose. I really like the big aquarium in this episode and the colors, but the song is still not satisfying, why not make it full of singing? I was very disappointed. There's not a single song that can make me remember to listen to it, maybe only the opening and closing songs are good to hear. I don't really like many of the characters, especially JELEE's relationship, but Kiui is still my favorite character in this anime. yayy everyone's happy blah blah blah and it turns out it's just yuri bait, tch. this is one of the most disappointing anime this year for me.  |

Cestlavie_ said: Lol, it's the opposite for me. Just put it in a pocket and listen with in-ear Bluetooth headphones, be it outside or when going to sleep. It's like 7 inches and 0.4 pounds only - you barely feel it. Very easy to use. To me it's more convenient than smartphones - when it comes to purely just music. Dunno, I personally find it VERY convenient :)mp3 player just seems more inconvenient when outside |

@IzanaSolos Nah, this is the best kind of this season. If you can name anything better, just say it or stop the unnecessary hate. The show is good.
| @saikyozero I'll gladly name one better just in this season alone, Girls Band Cry, which fyi, has a higher score than this and it's not even done airing lol. There's also Hibike S3, I can go on all day. |

| they just tried to do way too much in 12 episodes and the show really suffered for it. they should have absolutely tightened up the focus and kept it on the 4 main girls. the first few episodes promised a grounded coming of age story but as the two main characters had more 'development' i found myself liking them a lot less. call me crazy but kano literally assaulted another girl, not even a slap, a straight up PUNCH. that's pretty extreme for the general public to just forgive and forget because she... sings nice songs? it would have made far more sense for the reason kano punched her to come to light (and let's be honest here, for the reason to be a lot better LOL). |
| doga kobo cooked with the visuals, but that's it. first couple episodes were interesting but just fell off big time from there. at least the one takeaway is that it contributed to making me like doga kobo more, no misses recently. |
 |
| I was so close to making it out without crying. Then the entire cast waved goodbye and in that moment I realized it was over. The Slow-motion at the end of the OP coming back to be the last scene for the season... I'm sincerely in shambles. |
| I really enjoyed this anime from star to finish, I will definitely miss it. I am really happy that things worked out for everyone in the end. There was something in their past that haunted them, but they were able to overcome them, and I enjoyed seeing them all being happy at the end. |

The repainting of original Jelly mural rubbed me the wrong way probably for wrong reasons, I don't know, it just seemed too significant to just get rid of it like that, although they put a new picture there filled with new significance, and maybe that was for the better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There was a funny moment when Mahiru and Kano ran towards each other on the elevator, but other than that their show didn't create as much impact as I would have hoped. It was quite a standard resolution to all the ongoing problems, not saying it was bad though. At least we aren't left hanging or drastically disappointed at the events, and all the promises were fulfilled with the hope for a better future.

| @Ten it was prob more like a metaphor for them changing and becoming beautiful and able to shine togheter, instead of the lonely bullied jellyfish in the night |
| mid finale for a mid anime was fun to watch the first nine episode, but after this this fall too much the score fell with the show too, i remember this show with 8,20 last week, now is 8,09 (still high) |

Could someone explain why Yukine crediting Kano with her real name was such a big deal to her?
I know that Kano explained it to Yoru before that "I think she sees me more as the idol Nonoka Tachibana" (and not as her daughter Kano), but I thought this was implied to be before the incident, before Kano was forced to retire. Why would Yukine use her idol name when she's no longer that idol...? Not to mention it's the name of someone who caused a lot of controversy, so it wouldn't make any business sense either. There was no reason at all to use Nonoka Tachibana in the credits, so it was a weird moment when Kano broke down like that.

| @stevejawbs she wanted to be recognised as her daughter and by using her real name instead of her stage one she took it as confirmation that her mom sees her for who she is. Also reconfirmation, she shows up at the school later. I do have to say that I hate the handling for the mom. She is readily accepted as a 'good mom', past issues are immediately disregarded, basically boiled down to bullshit misunderstanding. 'She was a good mom all along', but they just didn't talk about it after her mom prioritised her own carrer over her child and so the misunderstanding took until Kano herself figured it out that it wasn't like that. The mom-daughter don't even have a conversation afterwards. |
| Fantastic finale and the only thing that would've made it even more perfect is if they kissed. |
 |
| They made up, Kano's mom isn't completely heartless and Mahiru did nothing wrong(Will die on this hill.). Happy ending, 8/10. |
| Man, I knew I wasn't going to be satisfied with this last episode but it still hurts. Like, it's an emotional episode that was supposed to hit hard but it didn't do anything to me. After Mahiru accepted Yukine's offer, there were too few episodes to resolve everything smoothly... and they even threw a Kiui episode right before the finale because why not. This ending was so weird, it feels like everything was resolved just because it was the last episode. Mahiru completely abandoned JELEE but she had to redeem herself somehow and fast so it comes the big brain idea to include JELEE and Yukine accepts even though she shouldn't but there is no more time. Mahiru and Kano had this big fight (that shouldn't have happened) which they didn't really talk about but now they hug and are best friends again. Maybe I'm crazy but wasn't this huge for both characters? Why was the makeup reduced to a very small part of the last episode? And then there's Yukine and Mero.... Oh god, Yukine and Mero were awful. How does a plot point that was so important throughout the entire series end up being almost glossed over? Like, they are bad but no that bad and Kano is "fine" with them. There's one thing I liked from this episode though, the escalator scene. That was hilarious and adorable, I missed that. Mahiru and Kano fight, Yukine and Mero, THE KISS. Oh yeah the kiss, what a bait! It was such a nice scene that it was mentioned one more time and then... nothing, more drama. These are parts that needed more focus instead of characters like the weird biker girl that we never saw again or Mei and Kiui having more screen time towards the end. With all that said, the show still gave me my favorite episode of the season, the idol mom episode. And I'm going to miss the girls, it was fun to watch them having fun. So... I am conflicted. The show was great and a very fun ride up to a certain part but the ending and in general the last few episodes leave me with a bittersweet taste. |
| The ending was a bit rushed for me, but I like a happy ending. I also wished that the drama could've been incorporated better or just entirely removed, but I still really like the anime, and you know, if there is a second season, I'll watch it. |

| The fans holding the umbrellas reminded me of TUYU ☔️ :( |
| Damn.. this anime started on a very promising note.. The first half of it showing the struggles of a group of girls who are lost in life and trying to find meaning with each other being shown in a "genuine" way that makes you feel for their circumstances really endeared me to its story.. ..but the second half just meanders all over the place. It's obvious that the writers of Jellyfish wanted to do more with its plot and characters, establishing different conflicts and standalone plots that tie-in somehow to the four main girls of the anime, showing how they develop by encountering different characters who could show them different perspectives. However, the mistake lies in trying to make "plot-of-the-week"-type stories in its second-half in a very short 12-episode runtime. I think if they had 3 or 4 more episodes somehow, this anime could stand as a classic alongside A Place Further Than The Universe. By this final episode, the anime just speedruns its plot by solving every established conflict in a "happy-go-lucky" way, completely abandoning the realistic depiction of characters struggling in life like in the first-half. Kano just more or less gets over her shit with her mother just like that. Her mother suddenly becomes less of a cold-hearted bitch overnight, even though she's basically ignored her for years, and Mahiru apparently mends her relationship offscreen with Mero. Finally, everyone just decided to sweep the whole Yoru going off on her own thing under the rug even though it was a big deal in her fight with Mahiru and the very reason their group split apart. It goes full dramatic as every hanging thread is solved by the power of friendship music. I mourn this anime's potential. What could've been a classic CGDCT show that could easily have been a 9+/10 anime and stood alongside SoraYori turned out to be a 6-7/10 at most. EDIT: I wouldn't say I'm disappointed (or if I was, then it didn't hit me as much). I also didn't mind the "yuri bait" not being actualized, as I'm not the biggest fan of yuri. I know a lot of people were looking forward to this before it aired, but not me. I liked the visuals so I immediately added it to my plan-to-watchlist before this anime aired, but I didn't think much of it. |
