| Good finale to great series.I cared more about Shougo and Saki than Fujimiya and Hase tho D: Anyways, i loved how heartwarming this series was.Artstyle and colors added an amazing atmosphere to everything - same with seiyuus, which were chose perfectly for their roles imo. I would love to see some 10-years after sequel, or OVA about more Brougo and Saki. Ah, and i never skipped ED.It was beautiful, both musically and visually 8/10 - we need more series like this. |
 |
| Now I finally see why "romance" is missing from the genres list. Anyway, a very good show indeed. Saki's just adorable :3 |
| oooh what a sweet story n_n |
 |
| Well.. That was anticlimactic, as expected for this series. When they started crying together I was like "finally something is going to happen." And then it didn't. Pretty disappointed in this series as a whole. It was just really dull, and things changed and people grew but at the same time things stayed the same and people never changed. Glad to have finished it atleast. |
  |
| It was teenage angst, which is a difference from the other shows this season I guess, but I hope the diary at the end doesn't mean there's going to be a second season... |

| Wrapped it up extremely well. Another great job from Toho Animation. They are slowly climbing up in my top. 9/10 |
 |
| Cute,innocent,light hearted,will probably be overrated due to feel factors,forgettable series 6/10. |
| Isshuukan Friends was my weekly near-death experience for 12 weeks. Thanks, Brains Base. 9 Kaori smiles/10. |

I can shoot confidently.. because it will be okay even if I miss!” Kagami Taiga: “I don’t know about being the bad guy or whatever. It’s only in stories where titles like that decide the loser. This is our show. We’re the ones who are writing the script.” |
| "Even more I'd hate not being your friend. Even if I remember you, I won't be happy" Ultra-friendzoned. |
| Really well done ending. I liked that it didn't force an anime original end in there. I loved this show at first, but really began to cool on it. This type of story would be better as a movie, because it loses its impact as the writer has to come up with reasons for the story to keep going. Certainly not one of my favorites of the season, but it was enjoyable enough. 7/10 |
| I am sad it's over, I want a new season soon! The couples are so cute, it's all cute, it was one of my favorites from this season! 10/10! |

Matshiro said: Why Hase write something to his diary after ending? Maybe he also have problems with memory? : D That is what I am thinking too.. Or he just want to make a diary too. Well, good series. |
| Well.. it was alright, I guess? Pretty boring most of the time though. 6/10 |
| God damn that ending. The series was a masterpiece untill now. It really hurts to down the score to 9/10 after an episode I really liked. But this should NOT have been the last episode, period. I get it that the main strength of the show was supposed to be cuteness and innocence, but they got too far. Kiddy-kiddy ending, oh come on! Yea, Im royally pissed. /rant rebelakuma said: Matshiro said: Why Hase write something to his diary after ending? Maybe he also have problems with memory? : D That is what I am thinking too.. Or he just want to make a diary too. Well, good series. That diary is for Kaori to read, it was pointed out several times that not knowing what Kaori writes in her diary is a weak point. Now she has 2 sources to try to interprete/affirm lingering memories and feelings. Its a good idea. And then they finished the show just like that. Yea, im still raging about this halfassed ending. Fuck. |

| This was sooooooooo friggen cute. |
| The second show this season after Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou that ended without really having major romantic development. However, it was a nice ending, but still, I'd prefer a non-friendzone ending. But the show was sweet, cute, calm and a good watch on sundays, and ShougoxSaki saves the day. |
| I have a question why stands it on MAL that the airing time to 23 June is, when it's aired on the 22 June at 8/9 AM  and I am sorry for my English, I am very upset right now... |
| I'm starting to like Saki and Shougo more, probably even more than the main characters. I'm hoping for a season 2. |
 |
| ... so, after all that, THEY AREN'T EVEN TOGETHER? And what more, SHOUGO AND SAKI STILL AREN'T TOGETHER EITHER?! THIS IS SHIT. |

| So at least, they didn't kiss. :( It was still a fine series which I enjoyed throughout the season! |
 |
| This show was very good but felt so short. I want more! 9/10 |
 |
| I think the folks who talk about Hase being friend-zoned are badly misreading this. It's pretty clear that Hase and Kaori are basically a couple, even if they are still using the term special friends rather than boyfriend/girlfriend (which would be an excellent title for a couple of OVAs or episodes in a second series: "What is a boyfriend?"). Hence the overwhelming attention that was being paid to them by every other person in the class when they met for the first time after the winter break--since everyone else there seems to know where they are headed. As for Saki and Shougo, you can write that one down as canon too. Shougo's comment, "I'm not going to baby you." is pretty much an acknowledgement and acceptance of Saki's plans for the future. This doesn't mean that I don't want to see a continuation of the series, and if the manga is following the relationship further I'd be happy to see a second season in a year or two, this time with a romance tag (I'm on the fence as to whether we should add it for this season, but since they didn't even get to hand-holding or a true confession, I guess we'll wait). It's unrealistic to expect the series to rush ahead of the manga, and for those who think this is going slow--I recommend a rewatch of Kimi ni Todoke so you can see what a slow romance really is... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
kawaii-despair said: I want season 2 focused more on romance. Couldn't agree more |

| Awesome series that was. Definitely one of my favourite of Spring. Good dose of feels and cuteness, a thoroughly enjoyable show. I'm for sure waiting for an announcement of a second season. Would like a bit more of Shougo and Saki too. |
| I can't be the only one who screamed at their screen for them to KISSU KISSU when she's crying her heart out, wanting to be closer friends. Giver her something she won't ever forget Hase :3 |
| I really love this anime everything about it even the ending. I know that half the audience was probably thinking "wow, I wanted them to hook up for a conclusion" but I don't think this is the type of anime that would rush to do it. To me, this is a very good story about friendship not romantic relationships. We have characters acting true to their personality to the end and they were more concerned for each other then themselves. Yeah Hase's motives to be friends with Kaori was just because he likes her but through the course of the story, he realized that keeping a strong friendship with her is more important then that and I think thats a great example of what love can be. (sorry for being cheesy) So props to the show. I enjoyed the heartwarming and blood pumping moments that it gave and its true characters which I haven't seen in a long time. |
 |
| Great ending to the series. this series was definately 'cute' and heartwarming. Although a second season would be nice, I am still happy and content with just as it is. |
 |
| forever friend(-zoned) Series end *scattered flowers 7/10 Great OP/ED |

Hence the overwhelming attention that was being paid to them by every other person in the class when they met for the first time after the winter break--since everyone else there seems to know where they are headed. I would agree 100% with you there. What exactly are people expecting? For them to leap into each other's arms and start snogging? That would be so jarring compared to the rest of the show and specially to the characterization. One thing I really like is that they didn't do a magical 'oh memory problems fixed now' ending. They will have major issues to overcome as a couple (or 'special friends' if you prefer that) and it would take some pretty major work on both of their parts to make it work. Looks like they are trying with Hase now keeping a diary as well. Overall I adored this show and it made me cry more than once. Absolutely adored the animation style and loved how the director made the use of silence which is very rarely done. ALSO .. to the people who are saying this show is not a Romance they must have not a romantic bone in their body. After all it's a show about a boy and a girl overcoming issues and trials to be come 'special' to each other. There's nothing more romantic than that! |

Man. I watched 12 long episodes of drama, sweetness, hard work, and memories, and this kid is STILL in the friend zone. Ah well. It was my fault for expecting a bit more of a conclusive ending with the word "friends" in the title. Time to hop on the Shougo and Saki shipping. I was really impressed by this anime. It made my Sundays something I was really looking forward to. Even though the ending left a lot to be desired, I can't help but feel good about how happy I was watching this season. 5 is average, so 9/10; a very solid 9/10. |
 |
| What is the definition of closer friends? That is what the ending would probably ask us. It would've been nice for Hase to confess once Fujimiya started to cry about how she wanted to be closer to him. The story development was amazing and it was still a great way to end off the season. Hopefully, there'll be a season 2 with more romance |

| Hase is an annoying MC i would have enjoyed the show more if it was shouho and saki. At the end of the day it was a good anime solid 7/10 |
| Aw it ended :(. It was a great series overall, with charming characters, op and ed music, and the emotional impact for these characters. Though it could of been more better if it focuses on the side characters in a couple of episodes. 9/10 |
| Nice ending but Yuuki ate the wrapper |
 |
| This series was great, So sweet, innocent and KAWAII. ♥ The 2 main characters were just too cute. I am really hoping for a season 2! |
