If I ever rewatch this, I think I would just skip the final two episodes.

I enjoy shows that have tone switching and genre switching, but for final arc they just went off the deep-end AND sacrificed what had made the series so fun up until now.

Worst of all, there was just no sense of emotional weight behind anything, and the basis for their pleas for why she shouldn't go through with the marriage seemed entirely trivial compared to the significance of what was taking place between the two families. Indeed, the only reason why any of their interruption was tolerated, and why they even got a hearing was the traditional ways of the rich families.

The only emotional weight from this arc came from the strange combination of Aika and Reiko's friendship, and Reiko's unrequited love. For a decent part of it, Aikia is almost the romantic protagonist, and Kimito lacks any real sort of conviction to his actions or his speech.

I can see why all of this comes about - it's very much an adaptation following a particular formula, and part of that formula demands certain things from the final arc. It's just disappointing as the show had real heart at times, and was playing with an interesting premise. Indeed, if everything had eventually come back to rest on some sort of Commoner wisdom, or they'd relied fully on Reiko's importance to the whole school, or they'd gone the wait until she's graduated at least route it would have saved it.

Kinda disappointed about the ending, Kamito just didnt serious about what he said during final episode make me so sad, Reiko deserve better

I really hope we can see Kujou and Karen more than them, cant stand with annoying tsundere first girl but im ok with blonde even though she is also annoying

overall i give 6/10, its goes high and down real quick, feel rushed for some reason

This ep, and the last one, made me downgrade the score. What a fitting yet totally lackluster ending.

There were a few funny parts but it just didnt feel like the rest of the season.

Overall one of the funnier and enjoyable shows ive seen so far 8/10

Also, really glad they kept the OP the same the whole season

Generally it was good but they messed up the end. Final episode was nothing but cringe.

Generally it was good but they messed up the end. Final episode was nothing but cringe. What is the purpose of that mecha? Does every mansion come with a mecha security robor or something?

I watched Shomin Sample, and I have to say—this whole anime is ridiculous. It’s basically the same recycled plot you’ll find in every other male harem anime: a “normal” guy gets thrown into an absurd situation surrounded by girls, each representing a specific trope, and nothing of value really happens.

The show had the potential to be an interesting social experiment—a commoner boy introduced to a school of wealthy, ultra-sheltered girls to help them understand the outside world. But instead of any meaningful exploration, we get a series of dumb, repetitive gags and eye-roll-worthy misunderstandings. And I can’t believe I’m even saying this, but the fanservice is boring. Yes, the girls are “sheltered,” but that doesn’t mean they have to be portrayed as completely brainless. I get that it’s supposed to be funny, but it just ends up feeling bland and lazy.

The characters are shallow cutouts of every overused anime archetype: the tsundere, the sickly loli, the deadpan maid, etc. Kimito, the protagonist, is another bland “nice guy” harem lead, except his defining gimmick is pretending to have a muscle fetish so the school doesn’t kick him out. It’s as dumb as it sounds—and not in a fun way.

The only thing I genuinely enjoyed was the OP and ending outro, mostly because they’re so chaotic it literally looks like someone was on crack when they made them. They’re at least visually interesting, even if they don’t match the flat, uninspired tone of the actual episodes.

Animation is fine, music is forgettable, and the writing is painfully safe. The show doesn’t take any risks, doesn’t develop its characters, and ultimately offers nothing that hasn’t already been done (and done better) in other series.

If you're hoping for clever satire, emotional depth, or even just genuinely funny comedy—look elsewhere. Shomin Sample is a bland, trope-ridden, and ultimately forgettable mess.
