I'm guessing he just there to stir up their relationship so she'll realize she really does care for her bf. Also what is Alpha? |

Alpha usually means a badass, opposite of a beta which is a loser/geekish etc. He became like that for her. Its the same guy, just colored his hair and put in more confidence, got trendy and alpha. |

| A great ending to a great show, even though the progress between the main couple has been very minimal. Hoping for a sequel someday. I loved the direction and animation too. |
 |
| The very last scene felt lackluster with neither of them being able to actually say something :/ But Fujiawara getting told to gtfo was pretty funny. The firework scene and the episode itself was quite good, so overall it was a nice ending to the show. I enjoyed almost every second of this anime, and pretty much all of the main characters as well, which is quite an achievement by anime standards. Of course the best were Kaguya and Chika (that dance is still stuck in my head). I'm giving the anime a 9/10. I can't wait for the hopefully inevitable 2nd season. |
 |
| 6/10 Ending left a bad taste. No development and cliche. Only reason I didn't give it a 7. |

And if were talking about development we could see our two main characters grow thoughout these 12 episodes and overcome some trouble. If were talking about development, just look at kaguya for example, at the start of the show she always does her plan with such an ease and confidence, while at the end, she finally starting concious of her feelings toward miyuki. cliche? is that a bad thing? cliche things could be interesting if its done right by the author. while some of the part felt cliche its actually done it in the best way possible, some of other shows probably wont left out juicy event such as "summer vacation" and would give it more cliche things like going to beach, doing summer homeworks together, etc. This shows sacrificed all of that event just for the sake of a beautiful fireworks arc. We know that the two of them will get together at some point, but a story isnt just about the destination, its about the journey |

TheGodEmperor said: Nicromatic said: Her Not being allowed to leave the house felt a bit forced, was this how it went down in the manga? Yes, it's because she's part of such a rich and prestigious family the Butlers and such are worried about keeping her safe from harm/kidnapping/whatever. marmondesu said: Nicromatic said: Her Not being allowed to leave the house felt a bit forced, was this how it went down in the manga? quite understand why you would felt that part is a bit forced, the tone is usually fun so when it shifts to more serious tone it felt unusual and forced to some people but its already hinted on how kaguya family situation that strict and overprotecting her -she's not even allowed to walk to school on her own (even damaged her own car's wheel just to walk with prez in the rain) -lack of common knowledge, sign of a sheltered girl -she thirst for familial love (shirogane kei's introduction) -shinomiya families policy which is pretty cold Mm yes, but she's been built up as such a competent character (albeit lacking some common sense and quite lacking in terms of romance), that I find it hard to believe she wouldn't be able to predict that the butlers wouldn't allow her to go to the fireworks. It'd be one thing if she planned a grand escape and it got foiled by her competent underlings, but she just fell into depression right away! I suppose I can rationalise it since it's the first time she made friends and wanted to go on such an outing so she wasn't expecting a rejection and was unprepared... |
| Ugh so we just basically ended up where we started? Neither of them still wont confess and think the other will mock them just like episode 1. WTF I at least expected a confession or a kiss. But I cant deny I laughed out loud many times so I gave it a 9/10. |

ogorhan said: Ugh so we just basically ended up where we started? Neither of them still wont confess and think the other will mock them just like episode 1. WTF I at least expected a confession or a kiss. Shallow, there is a lot of progress, it is not like the first episode at all, every episode made a little but steady progress. |
| Haven't enjoyed a romcom like this in a while. The characters are really what make a romcom successful, and Kaguya-sama has a fantastic cast, led by Kaguya herself. I absolutely enjoyed this show from start to finish, and I'll be on the lookout for a Season 2 in a year or so, hopefully. Overall rating: 9 out of 10 Only thing stopping it from being a 10 is the art and animation not being up to par sometimes, but this is A-1 Pictures we're talking about, so that was expected. |
marmondesu said: Yes it was cliche, yes cliche sucks, and yes it had no development(the ending anyway). It does not feel that the relationship between characters has changed in the slightest since episode 1. Loved each other then, still love each other now.

In the first episode they are the same as the last episode. What they did in between is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned since it didn't particularly change their feelings anyway. And that's not going to change until the very last episode/couple chapters or wherever the manga's at either. |
LiedElfen said: Prog_upworks13 said: Hands down probably best A1 work since Shinsekai Yori. Really a masterful adaptation. But what makes me sad we probably will never get a s2 😪😪😪 Why do you think so?, it has potential to be a long running multiple seasons anime series and the manga has enough content already to make that possible. Because that's not how anime releases work. Second seasons are usually dictated based on a major ln/manga release to increase sales, sadly. This was amost enjoyable show. 9/10. |

| Not a Big fan of romcoms but this one grate ... The ending was hilarious ... let's hope there will be S2 ... A 9 from me. |
 |
| It's been a long time since an adaptation had me binge the source material before it even ended, but Kaguya-sama really was fantastic from start to finish. This episode was the cherry on top - I loved how they adapted the fireworks chapter. They had to speed up the pacing a little bit but they hit all the emotional moments with such stride and soulful animation that it really didn't matter if it was a bit rushed, and they ended it nicely with the beginning of the second semester. This show was heartwarming and funny in all the best ways. I don't think I've laughed this much at a show in a long time. I wish more romcoms had the wit and nuance that this one has, not to mention such a strong cast of characters all around. If you're thirsting for more while we wait for a S2 announcement (hopefully) I'd definitely just catch up on the manga. Some of the best material in the whole series so far is in the later manga chapters and I really look forward to hopefully seeing those animated in a year or two from now. A very solid 9/10. Bravo, A-1. Really impressed with how on point the character designs and animation was too, it was definitely more consistent than usual for them. |
| I really loved this adaptation, probably one of the best adaptations ever, that said it felt like it still wasnt as memorable as the manga, talking about this episode itself... I will abstain from giving a score for now, and just process it slowly since I m unsure if it deserves a 10 or not (some episodes where clearly a 10). Lets hope we get a S2, meanwhile, I m feeling kinda down with ear pain, and need to go to sleep, so I will just read some more of the manga and at least go down with a smile, instead of just giving in to the discomfort I m currently feeling. Manga is sure all time best romcom for me for sure. |

| Damn, I'm really gonna miss this show, 9/10 for me |
 |
| Really enjoyable anime, definitely one that brightened up the season. Shirogane, Kaguya and Chika certainly have a good interesting dynamic amongst them, so it really kept the show going. Ishigami was introduced a little later, and frankly I still don't really see the role he plays exactly. He kinda feels like a side character somewhat at the moment, possibly due to the lack of screentime and half of the scenes ending with him walking about of the student council room in shame. I've heard from my friends who've read the manga that there's actually some development later on the series. Maybe if we ever get a season 2, it'll probably still be very interesting to watch. |

James-LastOmnic said: I'm hesitating so much on the score towards this show ! From one side it's probably one of the best romcom ever created, amazing and memorable characters, inventive animation and direction, well-written funny dialogues and INCREDIBLE voice acting (even the narrator) ... but, I don't know if it's as good and revolutionary as some shows are to be considered a 9 or a 10, from personal enjoyment it would be this high, but objectively ... meh. A score can always be changed and does not sums up perfectly an opinion about a piece of art but still, it gives a weird feeling to rate a show higher or lower than you actually want. Anyway, this anime was just a lovable experience that mix up so many feelings when you're watching it. It goes from hilarious comedy, to badass mindgame, cute slice-of-life, dramatic misunderstandings and even thrilling moments. Actually i agree with you about the anime, it was funny but i didn't find it so revolutionary or deep (of course, a rom-com doesn't need complex characters). That's why i give it a 8/10. But man, the MANGA! What happened in the anime was ok, but what happens in the manga after that is FUCKING GREATNESS. It really has that "revolutionary or deep" that i mentioned before. It's a 10000/10. I highly recommend you to read it, it's worthy. (Sorry i'm italian and a don't know english very much) |

| What a ride with this Anime, truly one of the best romcom I've ever watched 9/10 |
 |
| if only I knew ahead how this episode would have gone, I would've made sure to watch it alone can I get an F? |
| An admin's dickhead Soul banned me from MAL t('v't) |
| "Your behavior lately has been unacceptable." The fuck did she do? The fuck could she have done? That whole house needs to be burnt down with everyone but Kaguya and Hayasaka in it. Imma need that season 2 chief 8/10 |

nancevv said: Can't we just appreciate that the heroine Kaguya herself wasn't really of fanservice? I mean i like that her wearing the dress uniform til around knee and not revealing much (might apply to chika too), maybe it's because they're student council member? Ah i see, you are a man of culture as well |

I did mention the ongoing comedy. Even if there is a massive tonal shift for the remainder of it, I hardly believe it goes away completely. Gloomy-eyes said: Yes.

NOPE +Is it development if they try tricking other to confess but now not anymore? NOPE Same as above.But this is a pointless discussion anyway. I don't have a problem with the overall formula the show was using. It was entertaining. I liked most of the characters. I just feel the ending disappointed in several ways, because it felt cliche and lacking development or a conclusive factor. Yes, I understand there is more manga content after this. But this wasn't a great place (or way) to leave it off. The development is still there, but steady. And plz, just dont speak on behalf of the whole manga if you havent even tried it yet The last part was entirely speculative. If it was wrong, then okay. |

| I was slightly disappointed by the last two eps. The transition towards the emotional/romantic felt a bit hurried and forced, so it didn't have nearly the impact as the brilliant comedy of earlier eps. Of course, I've been watching much longer dramas lately, so there's that. And being an anime I wasn't expecting actual romance lol. Still...A fantastic series and one of the best romcoms I've seen in a long time. |
| This is the first and last episode worth watching. 6/10 |
 |
| I was disappointed after the 1st episode but this turned out to be one of my favorites this season. I NEED MORE!!! |
 |
| What a fantastic final episode this was! The conclusion of the fireworks segment was so moving and heartwarming to watch, simply amazing. This anime has been such a great experience. It was both hilarious and wholesome, with an incredible direction as well. A-1 did an amazing job without a doubt. And also, huge props to the narrator and the VAs in general. They all definitely made the series even more entertaining to watch... if that's even possible, of course. Overall, it was a fantastic series and if it wasn't for Mob being aired during the same season, this easily would have been my AOTS. I will really miss Chika... well, actually I will miss everyone in this series, such an outstanding cast. Really hoping for a second season! 9/10 |

Oh okay. Thanks for that. Dude looks like a totally different person |
| What a fantastic episode! These 12 eps were so good! And here i thought that they wouldn't make an episode even sadder than the last one... I'm so happy that Shirogane did what he did, he was on the impulse and he did what has to be done! They all had! What a great scene! I will miss Chika, for sure! xD Kaguya's happy face was one of the best scenes! Such a great romance, the people who worked on this adaptation made a masterpiece! They managed to exactly portray the feeling when people miss each other. I was almost going to give a 10/10 but i was expecting a little more from the ending xD So a solid 9/10 And hope there will be 2S!!! Can we please talk about this? <3 Unfortunately, she only appeared more in the last episodes, but what a cutie!  |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Man you can feel how much work poured from the team to adapt this anime, you can also tell they really love the source material. Really a wholesome adaptation |
| It was such an enjoyable journey. The final episode was a fine conclusion to the series. As for what I enjoyed the most, it must have been Kaguya's explanation of the reason why she could not hear the fireworks. It was captivating. Well, not that one would expect the adventures of Kaguya, Shirogane and their cohorts to conclude on a peaceful note. All quiet on the Western Front... |
| Great ending. 5/5 for the episode 9/10 for the anime |
