| The train wreck of the season IMHO, alternative title for this anime : "Stockholm syndrome - The animation". |
 |
| Well the ending was predictable. I really have nothing to say. Just your average rom-com with controversial takes. 4/10 |
under”Mebius” is my salvation  |
| Finally Ichika confessed to Ryou :D Nice kiss at the end. I love this anime because there isn't too much drama. 9/10 |
 |
| Koikimo has finally come to a close with a heartfelt ending with Ichika finally confessing to Ryou and Ryou accepted her confession and told her that he would be by her side until she becomes and adult which is sooner rather than later. What I liked about this rom-com was that it was very straight forward without beating around the bush most of the time. I'm going to miss hearing the OP and ED on Mondays. My only issue was that they never fixed the mics for some of the VA's and I had to turn up the volume every time I watch Koikimo. I give Koikimo a 7/10. |
 |
| Solid ending. Ryou distancing himself for no good reason tbh so pointless drama there. Overall started off great and funny but became meh until the last episode. 5/10 |
 |
| Won't lie Kinda glad it's over honestly. Wouldn't call it bad, as I did love the artstyle, and character designs. But by later stages, it did feel as if it dragged on a bit. Felt more of a chore to watch it by the end. |
| Didn't regret watching it. The last episode is great as it gives a proper closure for anime-only watchers. Despite it having a pretty generic outcome, I'm still thankful that the entire series was able to present what it was supposed to show. Also, this is one of those few series that was able to show a confession scene partnered with an actual kissing scene, so plus points for that. Plot: 5 Character: 8 Soundtrack: 10 Enjoyment:7 Overall: (5+8+10+7)/4 = 7.5 ~ 8/10 |
| Not gonna lie and this is pretty much my generosity speaking, It was a really decent show. It does help for me that we've gotten a solid conclusion, with a confession and a kiss. Which from the episode title, I didn't actually expect the latter to happen Overall, a very generous 7/10. Production quality was a bit so so, especially in the sound department, but I can appreciate a wholesome romance story with solid conclusion.

| It was alright. The most interesting stuff, though, was all the drama about this show. It made me get more involved in it that I would be otherwise and ended up crying on the last episode. It's a weird feeling, when something gets so much undeserved hate and you end up liking it more because of that. Normally I would have been like "Meh, another love comedy".

| Finally this kimochi warui show end. I shall be honest to myself, so here's my final thought, no matter how shit anyone else thinking: A no-surprise ending, indeed, which is extremely predictable for this kind of show. I know the show really about them. But, here, another reason for me that the drama around the ending (not just around it, sometimes, honestly) are also very lame. Why you feel that way when you literally groomed high schooler 24/7 11 episodes before? Even those side character recognized it as a lame shit. People who's like that must be very lame too. Anyway, thats it. The sounds system on some cases were so bad until idk how should i respond properly about that. The oped surprisingly very good, and thats the only good thing about this one. HanaKana can't be a factor to lifted up all of my bad things about the show. Because the storyline is so mediocre. The kiss was also so dissapointing. Then, once again, the whole drama are absolutely lame. Idk what should i react rather than, man, i wish i never pick this up. But, here i am, already finishing this all by myself. So, yeah, its good everything comes to an end. Thats it all for me, and, moving on.... |

| This conclusion was predictable, in a good way - It didn't go for any sort of debased, deprived, shock factor to what is considered already a "wholesome" romance. That kiss though, was basically the most exciting thing to happen in 12 episodes. The "wait for me to become an adult" theme has been used in countless romance anime (I remember the first manga/anime I encountered this was in Kare Kano), and I do feel it was appropriate for use in this story, because it really marks the significance of Ryo's transformation from womanizer (nice flashback to first episode), to someone who learns how to cherish a woman enough to wait. Though sometimes the pacing really got weird, it was a relief to see at the end that this 10 year gap relationship yielded the following results:
Although this was the 2nd most anticipated anime on my watch list this season, I gave it an overall 7/10.
I was looking for a pure-type romance that didn't have the gimmicks of sexual tension, as sort of a breath of fresh air, and this fit the bill regardless of what other people project in their rantings. Speaking of rant, here's mine, I put it at the bottom after my review of the final episode/series :P I enjoyed how this episode basically explained why this relationship isn't the sick, perversion that haters have been spewing all over the place. And for an anime that averages a completed score over 7.2, I'm finally realizing that most people fairly enjoyed the series, compared to the handful of overbearing internet warriors with loud mouthpieces who either only watched the first 2 episodes, or as someone else eloquently put, simply do not understand the meaning of sexual deviance terminology. But someone else said it best; they're simply misusing, or do not understand the meaning of the words. I still can't even understand why someone would use terminology like Stockholm syndrome and pedophilia even after watching this final episode. Because "creepy" somehow turned into "love" And haha, love it, I had to laugh that they used this statement to close the episode. It was almost like a final F U to people continuing to mislabel the premise of the story. |

| Predictable but satisfying conclusion this one. I enjoyed every moment of this anime. It was lighthearted, pretty funny (mainly in the first half of the season), and had some decent characters. The soundtrack was excellent and soothing. It fit the spirit of the show very well. It's a bit disheartening how much people rage at the premise, when in essence it's pretty pure. I believe the creators handled it very effectively without being overly controversial. It's somewhere around a 7.5 for me, so I am torn between a 7/10 and an 8/10. But yeah, a good one overall. |
| Thought it was a great ending to a good anime. very happy how it ended. Wouldn't mind a 5 year in the Future OVA but I doubt it. Natsude_tanaka said: What an aMaZIng show. unpopular opinion: she is best girl for this spring seasonal anime, no doubt lmao Finally Someone who believes in Rio supremacy! |

| At first I wasn't sure it was gonna be good but as the anime went on it got really good and shows a lot of the struggles of romance. It ended really nicely as well. |

Haha, I have to agree, I find characters like Rio refreshing because you know they're 100% there for the friendship and nothing else. She reminds me of Sunakawa from Ore Monogatari!! Rio is a definite vote for best wing-man :)  |
They shipped,But my favourite is Tamaru!  |

dxing said: Did anyone else just completely lose suspension of belief when Ichika’s mom pretty much encouraged her high school daughter to date a 29 year old? I dunno, just seems super irresponsible for a parent to not even give off any red flags. Ryou is 27 years old ahah And BTW, Ichika is 17 years old, so she isn't a child... There are a lot of girls who have sex with someone older than them in my country at this age, we are not in 1800 anymore... I would agree with you if Ichika was 13-14-15 years old... In my country (and in many other countries too), you become adult at 18 years old, so... Sorry for my english |
|
| Aaah, it's finally finished! The ending was quite mediocre, but I like how in the end Ichika really realized her feelings for Ryo and told Ryo the truth, I'm sure it took a lot of courage. I was quite satisfied when I saw Ichika slapping Ryo, because honestly as long as I saw him stay away from Ichika, I wanted to slap him too!! though I wish Ichika had slapped him harder so Ryo would really realize that what he did was totally irresponsible, lol. But who would have thought that Ryo would respond to Ichika's confession with that unexpected kiss?!! I really didn't expect it at all, I was surprised but I like it, hahaha. |
 |
| oh what wholesome ending...it's better this way not with those chaotic love triangles yandere obsessive kind of love lolz... 4/5. 7/10. |
 |
| Really good ending! The drama was well done and it was resolved so maturely, though it did feel a little rushed, I think 1 more episode would have been nice to spread it out more. I kinda related to Ryo there when he was distancing himself, the feeling that it would be better for her if I wasn't around. And as we saw, that's definitely not the right action. The confession was fucking great and that kiss. I am satisfied with the ending but at the same time it would have been nice to see a little bit of them in the future. Definitely gonna miss the OP and ED though, absolute bangers. 7.5/10 ~ 8/10. |
 |
| It finally ended and I doubt we would ever get a sequel but it ended nicely as anticipated for this type of genre, overall it was an OK show. The only thing that stands out the most is the OST and it is soooo freakin great |
I love K-On, and so should you.  |
| After having watched and read the Quintuplet sisters, I only wanted to watch more harem shows. This one caught my attention, as Higehiro. Unfortunately, the pair I wanted didn't happen so my interest was dead on episode 8. I mean, the outcome was set in stone since the first episode, so I can't really complain that Tamaru lost fair and square. Good ending, made me smile plenty of times. Also, I am glad I wasn't the only one complaining about the sound direction in this show. These microphones sounded way distant. Arriety and Tamaru were my favorites, they clearly deserved better. 6/10 |
| "Manga readers are annoying, all they do is complain or spoil the anime we discuss in an anime forum. They should really do their whining at manga forums." Stolen from Janethan23. Add in visual novel readers too |
| When I read about the synopsis, I thought it was going to be really creepy. However, this wasn't the case. The show was very enjoyable and the ending was very sweet. I hope to see a second season or an OVA of some sort. Koikimo is a strong 7.5/10 |

My Asian mother would've loved to set me up with a successful working man like Ryo regardless of that 10 year gap if she knew I would be well supported the rest of my adult life lol. It's a cultural thing. |
| What a happy ending. Loved this show. Got a bit boring only in one episode. |
| I was mainly in it for the comedy so the last few episodes felt quite boring since I already knew they would end up together. |
| Best ending line in anime history = "My name is Saiki Kusuo. I am a psychic." |
