----------------------------------------
A bit average for the finale. Seemed more like just a typical episode with the food gimmicks although I'm not a fan of it for this episode. Some of the moments in the finale with the final screenshot is heartwarming though in general with its slice of life tone I guess.

And we also get an ED card like usual

Man I can't believe it's over, i'm going to miss this series most of all.

It was funny how even Kirin could hear her stomach growl lol

The apron part was cute, i'm glad Ryou got the apron that belonged to her grandmother especially because she misses her so much.

Looks like things went back to start and Kirin was the missing flavor for making the meal taste like how her grandmother prepared it. All you need is a companion to enjoy meals with :D
It's funny how everyone was celebrating Ryou not failing without letting her know xD
Everyday KATSU! haha

I loved how the ending song included all the meals they prepared and enjoyed.

This was a delicious series. Goodbye best show of the season I will definitely miss this, can't wait for blu rays.
Super high 9/10.

8/10 for me i hope the BDs (which it will) fixes up any issues with the animation that was present. overall its a good anime im glad this didnt turn into exaggerated orgasm food. lol if u read the 4koma manga u will see that shaft really expanded a lot in the plot department. as for a season 2 i can see it happening. as long as they dont start losing the novelty im all for it.

for ppl who are complaining about the CGI bowls (im not talking bout the background just strictly blows and cups and what not) check out hidamari. Shaft does this for artistic reasons. while hidamari was realistic objects shaft studio decided to use cgi objects. overall it worked well for those who are shaft fans they can pick it up easily.

With a lil bit more effort from the studio it can be a worthy successor for hidamari. only time will tell but this first season has been a solid 8/10

Ryou receives her grandma's apron as a graduation gift. How nice. :') And Kirin has moved to the apartment without Ryou's knowledge. But at least the two will be living together from now on. ^^

As a slice of life anime, this has been very entertaining and, at the same time, heartwarming too. If there would be a second season, then sure! More food porn! More erotic eating~ And more lighthearted moments~

Koufuku Graffiti: making me drool from the food they prepare since January 2015. 8/10! Gochisousama deshita!

Graduation and with Kirin moving in!

Kirin with teary eyes as the receptionist holds her back and have confirmation.

Getting an apron from her grandmother. Akira's quite the aunt xD

Eating with people taste that much better (I should do a comparison). The famous veggie stir-fry, I want to try it!

8/10, this was quite enjoyable despite me wanting a little more under the feels for slice of life. Second season would be great now that Kirin is always with Ryou, not that it changes anything for us!

I wouldn't mind a season two.

Kirin moving in was great. Now she xan enjoy Ryou's cooking 24/7.

Not much in terms of food action, other than the veggie stir fry. Other than that pretty average episode. Overall it was great. I watched almost all the episode with food since you can't watch a food show without snacking lol

What a happy ending! I loved that everyone all got together at the end!


The graduation present was a surprise, but it was so emotional!

Overall I gave this an 8/10! So many delicious foods that made me hungry every episode!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

A sweet conclusion to a sweet series. A cliche SoL reflection episode of the past year, but it still captivated me nonetheless. I also enjoyed how they took it down a notch with the food porn this week, it really insisted on letting the viewer recognize the fact the show's coming to a close. So sad. Kirin is now living with Ryou and they're gonna be highschoolers, so we better get a second season so see how that works out.

A solid show/season overall, one of the better SoLs I've seen in a while. Sensual eating scenes sometimes were a little to much but hey, anything to distinguish it from the glut of other Slice of Lifes.

8/10
Why do people have such bad taste? Anime isn't subjective anymore.

This is so set up for a second season.

I enjoyed this. Not one of my favorite SoL but it had some very good moments. Shiina is a stand out for this show. The direction was well done and it had it's own unique flare which is important. Still, sometimes it was flat and wasn't a complete joy ride from start to finish.

I really do hope there is a second season regardless of the few down points. Overall a very enjoyable show with a cute cast.

This is what came to mind when Ryou put on her apron in such a dramatic fashion.





And she finally noticed that she gained weight, which we have all been expecting this for a long time. :P


That was a nice family moment at the end, with her extended family and friends all being there.

Best SoL of the season. They made the show revolving around a maximum of 5 characters into a pleasant journey built around two simple concepts of "Good food is so much better when you have someone to share it with" and "People aren't meant to be alone". The show itself was a simple tale and yet they executed it all so perfectly. No overly exaggerated situations, very real characters and very enjoyable to watch.

Shaft, you done good. Now make a season 2 with them in High School.

6/10, it as an okay relaxing show. I would gladly watch a second season of this. Food porn was nice, but it's definitely a warm up for what Shokugeki no Souma will bring us next week!

Switch "food" to "anime" and you have "Shirobako" right there, which is also known as the best show of the past two seasons.

A relaxing and care-free anime. The food looked delicious and Ryou, Kirin & Shiina, despite her lack of screentime, do make a great trio.

7/10 and I wouldn't mind a second season if one does get made.

Wonderful last episode. That scene when everyone was at Ryou´s place and eating together was so heart whelming~

This moment when Ryou opened her door and Akira´s hand came out - creepy! And that grin! X3

Best Girl Shiina´s puns was so funny. "Win ebi day" X3

Oh man, I´m gonna miss this anime. Thank you for this wonderful show Shaft, I really enjoyed it <3 Please make a second season.

Guess it´s time to check out the manga.

9/10. Thank you for the meal~

I must say that I really enjoyed this show. Sure, one could argue that not much happened, but I really enjoyed the nice and relaxing atmosphere that this anime presented. It was a great show through and through, and I'm really sad to see it go. It was definitely one of my favorite anime from this season. And from the looks of it, they've sown all of the seeds for a second season. Now we're just left to the mercy of the BD buyers to determine if it will actually become a reality or not.

I'll certainly miss this show. It was really a fun and enjoyable time.

Easy enough to get distracted by the over the top presentation of the eating, but at the same time there really was more to the show than just that. The relationships between the characters was an enjoyable side of it. Seeing Ryou go from someone who was extremely lonely and not all that excited about her day to day life, into someone who has a great deal of happiness around her. They didn't just resolve all the issues since her parents are still not around, but the show lead to her no longer feeling alone.

Ryou and Kirin were a fun duo and seeing them interact with friends and family was great. It gave a good reminder that having people around is important. I just liked seeing the growth of a friendship you could easily see lasting their whole lives. You had some nice background, characterization, and yeah some hilariously silly eating scenes.

Will be missed.

Had i rated this anime based solely on the food, then it would probably had been a 9/10. Everything beside the fish looked so ridiculously delicious. Pretty generic Slice of Lice but i enjoyed it.

I have to admit that I did kind of enjoy this show. I was mainly in it for the food but I ended up liking it more than I thought. 4/10
And I'm pretty sure anyone would gain a bunch of weight if they ate all that all the time. Silly Ryou at least you don't have to wear the skirt anymore after that day.

It's over.

Well, the fanservice was great to watch but the story was pretty nil. SOL was kinda ok but I liked Hidamari more. It felt like they are borrowing some scenes from it. Shame it was food first characters second, it lacked some impact because of this.

If this has second season I hope they improve.

Thanks Koufuku for making me hungry everytime i watched ya,show was quite relaxing sucks it's over i just wish it focused a little more on the other characters i understand how it was more related to Ryou and her grandmother while touching those moments were they the most boring part of this for me.

I don't know why I kept watching this show tbh. It's pretty boring even for SoL with the food being the only highlight in every episode. Still, it's not unbearable and I suppose the characters are enjoyable especially Shiina and her families. There are a lot of seeds for 2nd season although somehow I doubt it'd ever be made.

The food does make you hungry though. It makes a good accompaniment for when I'm eating my lunch or dinner so... gochisousama deshita!

Shiina was my favorite among them. Pretty honest looking and straightforward.
In the end, Kirin did move in with Ryou. Quite the people in her apartment during the moving in.
I am gonna this. Especially the good looking food.
I'll give it a 7/10 because the food sometimes is mouthwatering and of how they eat it like a pro.

So this was Shafts big food commercial.
It was a nice anime to watch nice calm and relaxing but i wonder if we will see anymore from this.
It doesn't strike me as an anime that will get a second season.
Maybe a special or OVA at some point.
