| DISAPPOINTMENT. RAGE. I was so looking forward to a nice romance scene. 25 EPISODES HAD BEEN BUILDING FOR THIS. RAAAGHHHH |
| Argh, NO KISSING SCENE???!?!?! Oh well. This no making-out cliche has been happening to me quite a bit with anime. Good ending.. I hope there'll be another season to round out everything, oh and a kiss with Ren and Kyoko, of course! ^^ |
     |
| Season 2 please.. 8/10 |

| Kyouko's character was interesting at first, but is it me or she is turning Moe. Good series, I was expecting more, but nonetheless I'm looking forward to the next season. 6-7 out of 10. |

danien said: Oh I'd love to see a second season too. Unfortunately, we may not see one. Remember that funny law they just passed in Tokyo? The one where the local government, if they decide it's not productive or suitable, will ban certain Anime and Manga? Well, don't forget that Kyoko is a school dropout, which Shintarō Ishihara THE PRUDE probably won't approve of; in fact he'll probably find it offensive and ... BAN! (Think I'm exaggerating? Ask mangaka Shouko Takaku about what publishers have to say about anime involving children still in school now) On the off chance that they make a second season, I'm going to be all over that. I don't like the way things ended with the Anime (even ended up grabbing the manga to find out what happens next) and will cheer if they announce more. I don't know the specifics of the bill but my understanding was that it is aimed at *explicit sexual content*. I'm not sure about the manga but the anime doesn't fit that description IMO. Unless they decide to go off the deep end like a certain anime this season I don't think they'll have any problems. I'm still holding my breath for a second season, movie, or something. Heck it took three years for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and this is only two years old so I know there is still hope for another season. Cheers to a second season! |
 |
| I really enjoyed this anime but the way that that it ended... if you can call it an "ending" at all... really annoyed me. Not a bit of resolution at all. Can hope for second season I suppose but I'll try to find the manga and pick up where this left off as I don't care to wait for something that may never come. Really sad when they don't animate all the available manga, at least others like Nana managed to do a slightly better job when they stopped though unlike this one... bleh. 8/10 instead of 9 for my irritation :P |
 |
| I love the manga, and I was holding off on finishing the series for a while because I wanted to hear the good news about a second season. But I finally watched the rest of it, and it ended right after all the groundwork was laid out!!!!! Noooooooo, they really need to do more of this I still love the manga but the anime was soo good too, they really have to make more of it makes me sad that it was going to start getting really good then it just ends. (Almost as frustrating as where they ended Kare kano!) The anime is so good 10/10 but it's so unfinished they can't let me down here! Really needs another season badly!!!! |
| Well the "ending" wasn't that good lols, I mean they stopped right in the middle of the arc! XD Ah well I really did enjoy watching this, the chibis and humour were awesome. Characters and plot good too lol, music was OK. Still it was quite fun to watch, and will there be a second season ...? I mean they certainly have enough material I think ... well, let's see XD 9/10 |
| That was a very good series, but DAMN what an ending! I checked 100 times if episode 25 was the last and then I read somewhere that there won't be a second until June :@. 9/10 because I thought it was a great comedy/romance anime especially the comedy part! |
| Damn! it was ended like that? it was good anime one of the best comedy romance ive seen but it ended like that even though Ren couldnt Confess to Kyoko |
 |
| Great, now it's going to take years before another season comes out |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| I knew they couldnt fit a good ending with one episode left I really hope they make a second season :( |
Confucius said: Great, now it's going to take years before another season comes out but i dont want in many years... i want now... *puppy eyes with tears* |
| I feel your pain.. but there's a chance there won't even be a second season. There aren't many shoujo series that get another season.. For instance: Ouran High School Host Club and Fruits Basket never got their second season and were more popular and sold more.. |
| Ah damn it all, that was it? T_T I'm gonna miss the good balance in comedy (especially Kyoko's ever-changing mini-devil spirits, LOL) and the drama in this series. I'll wait for the second season if ever it comes out. Maybe I'll pick the manga in the future. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Thats it?!! NOOOO.... I want more! I want to see Ren and Kyoko more and (alright) even Sho. Well, the anime was fun to watch but for now i'll just have to enjoy reading the manga while i wait for season two (if there is one) |
     BADGES: ll MUSIC LOVER ll [TSC] ll C.C.O ll |
| WTF!! NO WAY!! This can't be T.T I was going to give a 10 to this but I just can't. I hope they at least MAKE a second season this year. I don't think so since the time and all but yeah they HAVE to. This is such a waste. Kyoko isn't famous. Ren and Kyoko are not cpl....and what happened to the friend? Nothing. I'm seriously mad right now... |
| aw, thats disapointing, this is not an ending to a show, this is not even an end to an arc imo. they left too much stuff unfinished for the anime to be done. great show though i hope they'll come to their senses and make another season. |
| . |
| Why would they do like that?! TT^TT The series itself was high above average... but this ending.. I'm not satisfied ._. No announcement about a 2nd season yet either.. =w= |

| Omgggggggggg, I cannot believe they didn't show us what happens! OMG. UGH. Actually, I kind of like that. It's a different ending that really makes you want more. Sure, Ren knows he loves Kyouko now but she is pretty far away from falling in love with him. And Shou isn't going to back away, either. Can't wait to find out what happens! Overall: the art wasn't that great, and the animation wasn't anything spectacular. However the plot was pretty much free of holes and the pacing was good. The characters are the best thing about this show, though. They're fun, they're interesting, they're distinctive from one another and they're consistent. I really enjoyed watching this and it's been a while that I've felt that way about a shoujo anime. I'm giving this a 6/10 which is a good score from me! Haha. Will be hurriedly read the manga to catch up now. |
| Well...that was kinda disappointing I mean that wasn't even an "end" I'm giving this an 8/10 because of the "end" otherwise it will be higher because I truly enjoyed the series as a whole (mostly because of Kyouko's character). On a side note (I'm so getting burned for this..) lol I didn't really like Tsuruga even though he is a really nice guy and all but for some reason I didn't like his character (well I didn't like Sho either but he served his purpose). |
 |
| Such a good show and yet show a rushed ending. :\ There better be a 2nd season. I guess I'll have to start the manga soon. |
 |
| Anime completed in 2009. *looks at year* Yeah... will this even get a 2nd season? (even though its warranted) It was still able to strike a 7/10 for me though. =p |
 |
| There's not going to be a second season. The anime is useless compared to the manga. its a joke that they stopped it so early. its not even 1/4 of the manga, waste of time. the manga has sooo much stuff in it and they couldnt even wait and do a real full anime for it. such a huge disappointment. if you all really liked this anime, you need to read the manga. right now its at 186 chapters. |
| This show was great. It made it to my top 5. It had everything. Kyouko is such an awesome character. She's on my favorite character list now too. I was going to add the voice actor to my favorites, but it turns out I already had her there (for doing the voice of Kana in Minami-Ke). Such an awesome personality, jumping around from thoughtful and reflective, to furious and vindictive, to despair, to caring, embarrassed, sorrow... Just fun to watch. The story is so multidimensional. I mean, look: There's a serious story going on with a really good plot about betrayal, heartbreak, revenge, all the steps taken in this new career, childhood relationships, friendship, and love. At the same time, there's a real interesting depth to the show regarding becoming a celebrity and acting. It's the kind of depth you might see from other shows that have a very narrow focus, such as a show about a sport or a game. I really enjoyed all those acting scenes where they explained the script, characters, motivations, etc. and Kyouko had to search her soul until the answer clicked for her. It's was really engrossing, dramatic, and even brilliant. It never felt cheap. And even with both these plot aspects being so strong, it managed to make it hilarious and lighthearted with all the hyperbole and exaggerations that are shown literally, like getting stabbed through the heart by a cruel statement, the dark aura around someone that others can sense, literally acting out what they are saying... Well, there are really too many great comedic aspects to mention. I loved that the characters had a serious side, but then would so often be shown in cute "chibi" form, like caricatures of their former selves, both visually and behaviorally. It made the characters much more likable. A bunch of characters would have been too serious (and so not funny) if it wasn't for that, like the eccentric president of LME, Tsuruga, even Sho. They could have let us hate Sho, but like just about every other character, they showed a funny childish side to him, so you actually could sympathize and just laugh at him. I have to say that I thought Tsuruga and Sho had more depth to them than I anticipated as well. They seemed like they would be cold and one dimensional, but they showed more realistic and varied personalities as the show went on. For example, they brought up how Tsuruga had a habit of keeping a straight face when he was happy, and there was quite a bit of focus on minor changes in his behavior that others around him noticed, showing that there was much more going on inside his head than he would show. The difference between his fake and genuine smile was another big one. The music and sound effects deserve mention too. The music tracks really emphasized the rapidly changing moods of the show. Quirky/funny/happy, dramatic/serious, confrontational/dreadful... it was all enjoyable. And the sound effects really made the comedy even more lively. Anyway, this show is easily a 10/10 for me. |

| I for one am glad it ended like this, instead of going for a potentially crappy anime only ending. Going this route helps a possible continuation down the road AND allows the reader to pick up the manga where the anime left off. So, I really have no problem with the "just another episode" feel this had for the most part. As far as the series its self? It was fantastic. Definitely one of the finest shoujo/josei series I've seen, just slightly behind the likes of Nana and Honey and Clover. Which is just about the biggest and best compliment I could ever give, I think. Really like the leads, Kyouko and Ren as well. So, I'll definitely be reading the manga at some point. |

| I don't know why it took me so long to watch this but I only started it yesterday and that's me marathoned it. I havent marathoned a 25 episode series in over a year lol. Kyouko is one of the best protagonists I've seen. I loved her in her "Mio" role, so wonderfully dark. I, like everyone else am sitting wondering if we will ever see a season 2. I'd have to imagine there would be enough manga out to cover that now. I mean...she hasn't even really debuted yet, she is still in the "Love Me" section until she finds what she lacks. |
 |
| Seriously, that's it? This was one of the most enjoyable shows I could name and that was the ending? Give me a break. Wow, this was just bad. Anyway, ending aside, the show itself was amazing. |
 |
| I'm happy and sad at the same time. I love the manga and the anime did a good job of portraying the manga, but they stopped too suddenly. I want more! I think they should continue to make more episodes to catch up with the manga. |
| So the final episode ends with the story most likely just in the middle, with no sight in a second season this is rather sad! The actual story and concept could actually be very promising if they proceeded with the story! The story until now was very decent, had a nice buildup towards this episode, with a nice pace and character development! But I atleast wanted to see her revenge and well now I even more want to see them get together! If ever a second season would be made I'm sure to watch it! Just loved it! |
 |
| I love this anime but I expected more from this episode. I wanted to see Tsurugas acting :'O !!!!!! p.s. I agree with Boba ^ I will watch second season too if it come out one day :) |
  |
| wtf D: not imrpessed :'( such a great series... but that ending... |
| Oh no they didn't.I seriously hate when this happens...it was going so great and now it feels like they literally paused the series.Second season probably won't be made as well...eh, its so hard to be an anime watcher. I might read manga in near future.We'll see ._. Anyways 8/10.I had some really nice and enjoyable marathon with Skip Beat!.At first i thought i wouldn't enjoy it as much, because the setting was way too shoujo-ish, but surprisingly i really liked it. Male characters design is horrible tho. |

| It's finally over T___T Kyouko's acting is really amazing!! glad she's progressing smoothly!! that Itsumi girl seems hell bent on down playing Ren like that. yes!! finally Kyouko spent the night with Ren!! though Ren was disappointing T__T he's really clueless about love huh?? he always hides his feelings through his smile. and just like the President of LME said, it'll all someday pop and you won't be able to control it! Ren just stared to Kyouko for like a minute!! he didn't even look at her properly when he's sending her off home :( looks like Corn save that day!!! i really wanted to see if it truly is Ren who gave her the stone :D wow we saw a lot of old casts!! Ruri chan!! the three ladies the are training, Erika, and even Moko-san!!! Fuwa Sho being pissed as always!! it's really shame they ended just as when things are now heating up!! definitely one of the biggest cliff hangers ever!!! looks like i'll be reading the manga from now on since it's been 5 years now since the anime aired and still no sign of second season T__T why do you torture us like this!!! i wonder what's the hold up?? license issue? no company willing to adapt? budget issues? i'll give it a 9/10 since i enjoyed the comedy, plus the romance scene we're really well done!!! please Nakamura, Yoshiki!!! we want season 2!!!! |

| it has been 5 years since I saw the last episode for the first time, and I still am waiting for season 2 o/ but, I am reading the manga so I dont really care anymore, I just want the people that dont read the manga enjoy this show D: |
