I love the very moment when Handa's mom finds he is now a different person, not who should be protected by others but who can take care of others kindly.

Oh. Seishuu's mom was really a big pain for him (but she's really cute and funny there though). He's been a shut-in kid for all those years but finally he decided for his own. But I'm glad both his parents was now supporting him on his own decisions.

And his dad actually stayed in the island too huh? But there's no surprise there after all since he was the one who sent Seishuu there so he definitely knows that place.

So he's finally back at island and he was been approached by the whole gang with some sort of welcome surprise. And the results was of the calligraphy competition was revealed and he rank #5 out of 10 but the good thing is he didn't lost to Kousuke and it was just a beginning steps with his own calligraphy style. But in the very end it felt somehow I expected something more than that ending but it couldn't be help.

Anyway It's been a good ride with this anime along with Gekkan so I'll give this a 8/10 over all score. Or maybe I'll give this a 9 if there would be an OVA,Special or 2nd Season.

Hmm, I can't say that I liked the last episode as they put in just about everything I hated on this show.
Handa's mum in first part of the ep was suffering example of that and many other conversations were just real pain. They don't even bothered with different ED.

I can't honestly recommend this show even though sometimes it was really good. But then those nice scenes suddenly turned into the most annoying slapstick and I can't say I like it. This show worked the best when slapstick was toned down or at least not over the top.

5/10 There were some really good episodes but at the same time there were some very annoying parts that was pain to watch.

This coming of age, heart warming slice of life, laugh out loud comedy is over...
Really enjoyed the ride and I'll probably pickup the manga because it was something I was looking forward to every week.


Again, the show is over! ; _ ;

That mother. She's a violent one isn't she XD I'm so proud of Handa, he took the news of being 5th very well. Being on the island has been a really life-changing experience for him. He's calmer now, though I guess still acts on impulse. It's the kid side of him though, something that makes him him.

Aaaand so another one of my favorites this season ends :( This one was especially cute and heartwarming (lol as if this hasn't been said enough). It was quite refreshing in the way that there were so many kinds and they actually used kids' voices! All the characters were so funny and ridiculous unique. Will miss all of them, especially Handa and Naru of course! Season two pleeease.

I actually didn't like this last episode much. Felt too short, and not even emotional at all. Or much humor. Didn't suit the series to me.

Still, loved this anime. I'd say 9/10 from me. Would have been 10/10 if not for this last episode ^.^"

Easily anime of the season for me. What a refreshing feel good ride. Can't express how it made me feel knowing I had this series to fall back on in a season of mediocrity.

Heartwarming and funny, is how I would describe Barakamon. :3
Relaxing.....peaceful....glad I watched this one as it was about to finish. :3

So, It's a good thing that Handa came back to the island.....and everyone was happy to see him as well. That Naru smile at the moment when everyone pounced on Handa.....priceless~! x3

Anyways, I'm gonna miss this gang of characters: They were all enjoyable, cute, etc etc.... :3

Great anime to watch. :3

Sensei's mom was so hilarious this episode, especially when she was beating the shit out of Kawafuji lmao.

Everyone welcoming him back was so heartwarming, I loved how Naru tackled him.

Holy hell, Sensei's mom was crazy violent. I laughed at the part where she pounced on Kawafuji and beat the living hell out of him.

The ending felt a little underwhelming to me for some reason. I was expecting something a bit more emotionally heart twisting, but this was just as fine.

I'm going to miss watching this show every week. I'd ask for a second season, but I felt like they left off at a good place.

I'm going to miss my weekly dose of adorable Hina.

Handa's mom is best mom. Please someone link me a picture of her with red cheeks.

That said, I expected a more dramatic and plot-twist wise ending related to Naru's past, but I guess this makes still sense. Enjoyed the series overall, it was really heartwarming and funny sometimes, would gladly watch a sequel.

Ah man this was a nice and fun show for the summer season!

I couldn't stop laughing at sensei's mother trying to stop him from leaving!

Though, I am glad that he returned to the island, I was hoping for like some suprise season 2 for some dumb reason, but it wasn't!

Loved the show, animation, soundtrack, I loved it all! 9/10 being one of my favorites of the summer season!

Glad that Handa wasn't hung up on getting 5th place. He's definitely matured and learned to move on in life, because he realizes that there are more important things in life for him than just calligraphy. A Solid 8/10

Wow, talk about domestic abuse from the mom. She could very well rival the characters in Street Fighter.

It's too bad that "Star" work got ruined by tea. But even without as much impact, the "Stone Wall" submission was just as sentimental, and well-suited to it's title with it's theme. Handa still needs to work on his self-consciousness though.

I could totally go for another season of this. They could continue it into the winter months, since they mentioned the season starting to get colder.

Aww, that's character development done right! Handa has really matured, that quote at the end really sums up this series. I didn't expect much of this show, but it turned out to be a diamond in the rough for sure! Easily the best anime of this summer and one of the best slice of life shows I have seen!

My Saturdays just aren't gonna be the same now ;_;

I'm definitely going to miss this series. Very heartwarming and cozy. I truly enjoyed each episode as they came and literally laughed my butt off. This was a good episode. Haru's smile when she jumped on Handa gave me a big wide koolaid smile over here. They all looked so happy I couldn't stop smiling. It brings forth such emotions.....man I don't want it to be over :(

A pretty nice finale to a great show. One of the AOTY contenders so far. This show was a blast to watch each week, as it covered a lot of different themes and morals that relate to human feelings such as fear, contempt, competition, goals and much more. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and mood. It was a relaxing watch while it still maintained a good story and fun, likable characters.

I wish there was a sequel because I would love to see more of their lives.

Okay for the thoughts of the finale:
Seishu's mom reminds me of my mom, in a gentler way (I'm not kidding! xD)

Poor Kawafuji, he just tasted his bestfriend's mom's rain punch! I died there!

I also died on Miwa-Tama's lack of cleaning motivation, Hiro kicked their butts to do their work!

I'm honestly touched to their welcome-home-sensei party and his personal calligraphy entry.
Seeing his friends' name in a huge calligraphy is a lovely thing.


Of all anime I watched, Barakamon is truly a gem of a series.
I mean, I'll never see such anime series who's closer to reality in life.
Barakamon delivers it with ease and you can relate to Sensei's life at some point.
I've been reading the manga since 2009 when Village Idiot did the scanslation of it.
In the first half of the episodes, I'm very familiar to the scenarios and how it will turned out.

Omedetou for Daisuke Ono for giving the role of my favorite guy xD

I might write a review soon for this series.


For the series grade, I'm not ashamed to give it a 10!

Satisfactory ending. Don't really like the first 8 minutes seeing how overprotective Handa's mother is.

Yeah, dragged a bit. They (anime directors) were probably trying to fill out the time so the rest would be paced right.

Absolutely wonderful series. It's just one of those shows you never want to end. It was so heartwarming and touching. Definitely my favorite summer anime. I liked how they ended it, and the OP/ED for this show were great. I wish a second season would be announced... I'm gonna miss Handa a lot~ His last calligraphy piece was beautiful. :') (Oh yeah, his dad was very handsome when he was younger LOL)
