| This was nice, but it left something to be desired. I still believe this anime would do a lot better as 2 cour, since it has a lot that can be explored! I was hoping we would learn more about Hanako, Tsukasa, the team of apparitions, and the other Wonders etc. Originally, I thought it would end on Kou saving Mitsuba, but I like how they are not rushing to finish that story(best arc imo), in favour of more character development for Kou. Started off very interesting, but felt it lost steam as a lot of things were left unresolved. A second season would make sense. 6/10 |
Fisonnra said: Do you manga readers think that those skipped arcs may be animated in a possible second season? It's because I want to read those skipped arcs but kind of holding back if these get animated in S2. Also, which skipped chapters should I read? Yeah, I think absolutely all those skipped arcs will be animated in a possible season 2, included "The young exorcist", that was one of the first arcs, and it's very important. Unlike what other manga readers think, I believe how the anime rearranged the order of some arcs keeps the story's coherence, and I can see why they made some choices. In my opinion, if we get a second season, it's possible the first arc will be exactly "The young exorcist" (with some minor change to fit the post-Mitsuba arcs), and after that they will animate "The three clock keepers". They are perfect to be close, since they fit thematically. HUGE SPOILER Only for manga readers, look what I mean: There's a lot of parallelism and focus on Hanako's psyche. I really hope we can get a season 2, it will be very powerful emotionally and dark. Obviously, the best thing would have been if we had got a 24 episodes season with the same pace of the manga. Sadly, we got only a 12 episodes season and they did what they could, avoiding to progress too much the story, giving some kind of closure, since there's always the chance they will never make a second season. But it's not like this adaptation ruins the coherence of the plot, they can still to make a coherent season 2 with some minor rearrangement and change. |

| I hope we get a second season, the art was always so unique and pretty, Nene is just too cute and pure. |
| I bookmarked the official site and check the page every day for a second season announcement. ._. https://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/hanakokun/news/ Nothing yet. ._. It's a pretty cute site though; they even have the Mokke pop up. xD |

| Really enjoyed this anime even more than I thought I would! The art style was so unique, and I loved the characters and music. This last episode was entertaining and funny, but it didn't feel like much of a season finale. Having a mini-plot to tied back to the mermaid seemed like a good idea, but I feel like this episode might be easy to forget compared to the others. And as a season finale, I was like... that's it? Kinda bummed Kou was barely in this episode. Was waiting to see them all chat at one point, but it didn't happen. Now I'm really hoping for another season. I think the likelihood is high! |

| And now, it ended. I love the anime-only scene they added at the end of this ep<3 7.5 or 8/10 for this adaptation |

| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| I really enjoyed the complete package: the music & hints in both OP 'n ED, the cutesy unique art, our lovely couple pair, our getting-into-trouble trio, the beauty of the Mysteries' worlds, the snippets of Hanako's past, both the silly-funny & heavy-dark scenes, and adorable Mokke! Gonna dive deep into the manga while keeping my fingers crossed for a 2nd season soon :) |
 |
| This mercurial escapist manga ad, with juvenile sensationalism, shoujo wish fulfillment, style over substance, shallow casual romance ALL OF WHICH are things I like. Cheers to one of the cutest shows ever, one of the most shippable ships ever, and My Anime of the Season. 8/10 Of course, still, I'd rather the manga than an S2. |
| I love how clingy and touchy Hanako is ❤️❤️❤️ Mokke is so cute!!!! Nene dreaming to have her own harem lol Wahhhhh this is the last episode for this season 😞 I hope there's season 2!!! Please ~ 8/10. I enjoy this so much! From beginning to the last episode ❤️ |

This image 100% embodies how I feel Its like, yeah this show was good, the artstyle was definitely the best part... but right as the plot started to get good you finish there?? You must have a season two planned if youre going to end it like that- because that cant just be it... where is the rest of the anime I almost didnt believe that THIS was the last episode and did a double take, like... what????? |

| Nene and Hanako's developing relationship is really cute. I think the anime was overall really solid both aesthetically and thematically, with engaging characters and an ending that posed more questions than gave answers, making me really excited for S2. 8/10 |

| The adaptation is amazing with how faithful it replicated the manga's unique artsytle. HOWEVER. The animation was dreadful throughout. It truly is the definition of a moving manga. For that reason it really hampered my enjoyment, since there was not much to look forward to or get excited about, even though it was so visually unique. |
 |
| NEED MORE EPS WHERE?! By the way....was the fish trying to make Nene to live with them an anime-only thing? I've never read the manga but for some reason it gave me that vibe (I also thought that they were going to pull the scale out of her somehow thus nulling the arrangement she had with Hanako and then It'd be a TRUE question of sticking with him against her will or not.....but oh well, the hope that it went down that line was dashed I guess...) ANYWAY, here's hoping this series comes back in some form in the future. I loved watching this every week. |
(My avatar is an original creation-please don't take it) |
| 5/5 episode, 10/10 anime, my heart ;-; I normally don't vibe that well with extremely cute characters cuz I usually find them annoying, but straight away in the first ep when Nene learned a lesson about love that I really wished I had learned sooner I knew that she was gonna be a real G, I see my HS self in her a lot with her thought process and the lessons she's learning, obvs I can't relate to having a really cute ghost friend but hey the world can't be perfect. Hanako is one of my favourite characters ever EVER. When Teru told off Kou for not exorcising Hanako I was worried he was gonna be a bad guy but i'm really glad that we got to see him be a little more understanding, u can see how much of a soft spot he has for his lil bro and honestly I would too if I had Kou as a little brother. I really hope there's a 2nd season! I wanna see Hanako's and Nene's relationship develop even more! Hanako with Tsuchigomori too, when I went back to watch ep 6 when Tsuchigomori said the moon rock was real after knowing where it came from my heart swelled just that little bit more, but there's still so much mystery between them and i'm excited to learn about it! Hopefully it'll be through a season 2 but if I have to read the manga then im gonna read the manga idc |
| For me, Toilet-bound Hanako-kun was like a breath of fresh air. Something refreshing of the Supernatural genre. I have to mention, the art style, was phenomenal! Storywise, it was good, nothing that we haven't seen before, but i really liked the execution/flow of the show. Characters, top notch, nothing to criticize there. Nene is so adorable i wanna hug her right now!! 8/10 im plenty satisfied with the experience. Another one of the dark horses of this winter season, would love more of this! |

| A series solely based around 七不思議. Mostly a comedy, but semi-serious at times. The art style in this series is fairly unique, thick lines and a sort of film grain applied to everything, but it seems like it comes at a cost of actual animation. The majority of this series is still frames with little actual movement. The style actually works well for the comedy and overall is not a bad choice, but there were times where it was hard to think of it as anything more than just a comedy and took away from the more serious parts. The comedy was definitely not laugh-out-loud, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I didn’t especially like any of the characters, they were all just okay. I found the voice acting a little strange, especially Hanako and Mitsuba, they sound so soft and gentle and it's kind of off-putting in a way. Speaking of Mitsuba, he just felt like fujoshi bait to me. The majority of this show more or less looks and feels like a kids show, with more mature elements sprinkled in. It’s a decent series, but I wouldn’t call it great. |
| Man, i need more Nagito... eh Hanako voice... 8/10 |
 |
| The final episode was cute but it lacks an interesting conflict. I felt the plot a bit empty and somewhat repetitive. Anyway, cute characters. 6/10 for the anime. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| On one hand, this episode was really nice, it had good feels, and I feel warm and fuzzy inside... On the other hand... I need to go read the manga now because I AM NOT SATISFIED YET. I need to see more of them. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Overall 6/10 Quite enjoying show |
 |
| Aw damn we reached the last episode. Ngl, I really fucking enjoyed watching Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun, especially the comedic parts. I can't exaggerate how much I love the comedic parts, they just come at the most unexpected times lol. I also enjoyed the exploration of the different relationships in this anime, it's almost as if all the apparitions are humans who are capable of maintaining a relationship. This is one of the few anime in which I enjoyed watching the harem lol. The art style is also very cute and I appreciate it, adds on to the comedic factor too lol (d41k0n legs) 9/10 |
 |
| Lerche nailed this adaptation so hard. THE ART is a Godsend! This is without doubt the gorgeous, eye-candy anime made so far. It don't have that SnK, OPM (RIP S2...) or basicly everything from Ufotable sakuga hype animation, but every "panel" is so well done it's nothing less then a wallpaper festival for 24 minutes each week. I hope that we will get a season 2 next year or even sooner because I'm not ready to say goodbye to Hanako and Nene. I would score this a very solid 8/10 but I need to add +1 for the marvellous art design and +2 for Ogata Megumi as Yugi brothers. She transformed fun and interesting personages from manga to something beyond special. Get in the toilet, Hanako! IMHO Perfect 10, would give more if it was possible. |
 |
| "You want to know more about me? Then go read the manga bitch" That aside, really enjoyed this show. Likable characters and the art is superb. The panel style was cool too. Animation might have been poop but it's still comfortable to watch because of the gorgeous art. |
 |
| Wasn't my cup of tea. Apart from the cute art didn't like anything about it, especially Hanako who came off as really annoying. |
 |
| Interesting watch. Art of course was gorgeous. And the overall audiovisual aesthetic was very engrossing. But the plot never went anywhere to really excite me. So it ended up being more of a "chill and enjoy the aesthetic" watch, rather than something where I was really invested and interesting in the actual events. Not that the characters weren't interesting, but there wasn't enough development, especially for the side characters, only exception being Mitsuba who was fantastic. I had it on an 8 for most of the season but that was kind of optimistic hoping for a solid ending, which it really needed to earn the 8 from me. Unfortunately, there was no ending. So yet another 7/10 that did a few things amazingly, but was too one-dimensional in it's quality. I could definitely see myself raising this to an 8 or 9 if it gets more seasons which develop the characters and plot, in addition to providing a solid ending. |

| Reminder: Never trust some sketchy fishes that want to have you as queen and even admit to stalking you... Loved the cute spooky artsyle, but I felt like the animation was a bit too stiff at times Pretty funny season, looking forward to a second season with ugly Daikon, Crazy knife and talisman-earring Guy |
 |
| Weird ending. The art was nice, the concept was also nice and canceled out the bad comedy. All in all it was average for me. 5/10 ( C tier ) Would have been a 6 ( B tier ) if those last episodes were any good. |
 「 To other people, I might not have changed at all, but I feel like I was able to change... 」 |
| It's just so-so for me. I wouldn't recommend this if anyone would ask for an anime recommendation. Still! I learned a lot. I had no idea there was this urban myth like Hanako in Japan. And I'm willing to watch season 2 if there's going to be one! Hopefully with more roles for Kou's brother! Just curious...Am I the only one who ships Nene and Kou? |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
