Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

to think i thought about passing this because i thought it was gonna be one of those 3 minute shows. boy was im glad i'm wrong.

prolly my top 3 of the season.

everything leading up to Riko's talk to Maki was good. so many tears. Cheapskate in Maki wig wow!

i totally expected a kiss when Maki grabbed Riko

love the good ending. great way to end it if its a one-off

I was expecting Maki to kiss Riko during the house scene XD

This wonderful season has finally ended for me (well Monogatari's still running though) but as far as 1 season goes, this is probably the best ever with so many good series like Lova Lab, Gin no Saji, Servant x Service, etc.

Definitely don't mind a 2nd season for Love Lab, they can explore more about Jan x Maki and Riko x Nagi, we still haven't seen how Riko actually rejected Nagi. Would be nice if Eno and Suzu can find love too.. overall a very enjoyable series 9/10

The ending was somewhat disappointing, and I definitely want more expansion...
however, the story typically revolved around a harmless white lie growing out of proportion, so ending it here would be quite logical.
I'm going to miss this show.

Favorite quotes from this episode:
"She was drooling like she was crying!"
"Wow, this carpet smells nice."

Let's go, Nagino! You really do understand girls well!

Dat confession and crying scene. My feelings. Then I laughed.

Lol, reinforced slapsticks.

This episode started so sad, but it ended happily.
I want a second season!

Watching this anime was like having my teeth extracted ... I really thought the introduction of the male characters midway would spring this anime into life but alas no ...

5/10 on a good day ...

It's sad that this ended up being my 550th anime completed ...

"We were just strengthening the bonds of the student council"

In a sense that's actually true. With Riko having finally outed, the slight barrier between her and the three who believed her lie is now gone.

And they proceed with their risky venture - after all, it would be all too easy for the staff to get hold of a copy of that paper. I know that from personal experience of going to a school which had an underground paper - the teachers always managed to get hold of a copy or two, no matter how hard people tried to stop them. And it has that nice picture of the student council tied into these stories about love.

It's a bit shame they this last episode had such a serious atmosphere, but I suppose it had to happen eventually.

Anime of the season for me, this was insanely enjoyable with very likable characters, and it managed to make me laugh plenty of times.

I really thought Maki and Riko would kiss there for a sec! Good final episode

Solid series overall loved the first few episodes. The show was hilarious and cute when it focused on Maki and Riko. Unfortunatly the supporting cast was mostly not very good and the storylines revolving around them very pretty boring.

Show gets a solid 6/10 from me. Definitely had its high points, but was also boring/unfunny from time to time.

One of those anime when you think "Aah~ it is over :/" when they end. Loved all the characters and how the friendship they formed which got deeper and deeper over time. Riko x Maki Best Friends Forever!

I don't think there will be a sequel, but if there would ever be one, I would definitely watch week in week out. There are very few anime out there now a days that keeps me interested week in week out and Love Lab was certainly one of those. 5/5 for a warm final episode and an 8/10 for a great watch!

Aww...if only the last episode also had Maki's love lessons.

I'm going to miss this show, I loved it a lot! The chances for a second season are extremely low but I can still dream...

Only think that could've made it better was if they were completely focused on comedy and less drama.

Still my AOTS <3

I enjoyed Love Lab. It always put a smile on my face and made me laugh. I am happy that Riko and Maki made up and are now best friends. I wish there will be a second season to this or at least a OVA. Overall, this series was amazing. I loved it.

I really disliked how this series ended, and I was kind of looking forward to it. It's just personal opinion, but I dislike that they Maki had to finally find out before Riko does something, it really is kind of selfish. And they way everyone forgave her was like nothing ever happened, it was so simple. Of course I knew they'd all still be friends, but it was kind of easy on Riko. . .
It's like the series was leading up to this very scene, but it wasn't anywhere near as good as what it led up to be.

Not a bad series otherwise, maybe a little above the average school comedy, 6 or 7 out of 10. My favorite was hearing Hayami Saori with the BroSis Bus!

I sympathize with that. But I think the key is that most people create these elaborate fantasies in their heads which prevents them from moving forward, but if they moved forward, they would discover that they were the only person with the fantasy.

Riko's lie was trivial, but because Riko had such an inferiority complex (having been friend-zoned so many times), she built this up into the entire reason why everyone (Maki, Suzu and Eno) was her friend. But that wasn't the case: Riko was their friend not because she was the "love expert", but because her they liked her for who she was.

This is why they so easily forgive Riko, it was never about being a love expert. All of them just wanted to have a friend, and Riko, because she has a talent for friendship (particularly with guys), was the catalyst for bringing the student council together. This was the hidden theme for the show: valuing yourself, realizing that people will be your friend (or boyfriend) if you give them the chance. This point was made clear in Maki's reaction. She was scared to death that Riko was her friend only because Maki forced her to be her friend (as Yan said). This ending forced everyone to admit that they hang out together because all of them like one another, so in this regard it was the perfect ending for this season. How can you hope to get the other gender to like you, if you don't like yourself?

What a waste that it's not yuri...Well, at least it didn't go full hetero (I hope there won't be a second season because in that one, boys might actually play a bigger role) and I could enjoy the slight subtext.

A nice finale, the problem is wrapped up, everyone is happy. 4/5.

7/10 for the show as a whole, it was 8/10 when the focus was on the antics of Riko and Natsuo though.

It had it good points but sometimes it got really boring, the end and last three episode were good though and I like it. Should whole series concentrated more on boys x girls situations and consequent misunderstandings it would have been a lot better. Maybe second season some day in the future? Who knows.

6/10 Average moeblob comedy with some bits that makes it likeable.

A pretty lovely ending to this series, she finally managed to say the truth and well everything did go as I thought which was touching and at the same time awesome!

Quite a lovely anime in general, some very nice and hilarious moments and just a bunch of great characters! 7/10

If this had romance I'd give it a 10, so -1 for no romance :<
9/10 - Was very fun to watch.

In my opinion the producers should try making a horror/sci fi/psychological anime, I think they would succeed with flying colors. (saying this based on ep 12 when Riko tried to tell Maki about how she was lieing to her.)
