The last couple of episodes felt very rushed. Still overall this is one of my favorite anime from 2023, it definitely deserves a second season imo.

A very flashy and predictable finale. But I enjoyed it!


Hikikomari was a show with many ups and downs - not quite as unstable as some other Yuri this season, but it goes into the same direction. But unlike WataOshi, this one actually progressed towards a positive rating over it's course.
From what I'd assume, there were 3 volumes of the LN adapted. And they all had a very similar progression:

Awful, second-hand embarrasing "comedy" -> Intriguing buildup -> cringe minor battles -> exciting major battles -> Komari goes god mode and secures the happy end.

Aside from the mentioned awful comedy (though there were actually a few good moments, like Karen having Petrose blow up the bureau) and great serious plots, the characters were also day and night. Not Komari herself though, I'm quite neutral on her.
As for the others, we had some amazing villains for every single arc, such as Millicent, Flöte Mascareli, Rainsworth and (in a way) Sakuna Memoir, who is certainly my favorite. Usually I don't like obsessed stalkers, but she's a nice person and I love how she fights.
The "good guys" weren't exactly my type. While I'm neutral on the likes of Karen and Nelia, I really didn't like Vill or Komari's unit dudes. Partially because they were victims of the awful comedy.

Finally, I gotta mention the pacing. It's the average 12 episode LN with too many characters and too fast pacing. Unfortunate, as the highlights could've been much better if given the time, especially for the second and third arc's finales.

All in all, I believe I enjoyed it more than it's actual quality due to the afformentioned problems. But it's still good enough for a 6/10, even with the glaring issues.

Yuri Harem 👏 Let's Goooo!!!

Man it was a lot more fun than i'd have expected. Got a little off the rails and not really sure what is necessarily going on; the politics got confusing, and were going at mach12 but i don't even care!

Wish for more, if there's any small chances of it.

Of course it ends with another clown villain that is non-stop cringey. Komari continues playing fiddle to someone else.

We get some self serving nonsense from the Goddess of inverse moon about cherishing family, nvm all the inverse moon members we've been introduced to so far that all have had their family killed by none other than Inverse moon themselves.

It's not often a see a yuri love-triangle, albeit undertoned, but I feel that Vill kind of got pushed aside by the end there when Sakuna and Neria entered the show. I liked all three of them, but it only amounted to comic relief, sadly.
This anime really knew how to make antagonists characters dislikable, though being cartoonishly evil makes me cringe in all honesty.

wasnt as fun as i was hoping. i liked the beginning where everything was just fun and games. then they started to get more serious with the finale being about world war and world peace

wasnt my cup of coffee

this was a fine show. komari is so god damn cute and vill being jealous was funny.
only thing is that the first bad guy whatever in ep 3 and 4 was a stupid character and i hated it. the show was also kinda repetitive. someone wants komari dead --> fails because of vill and other friends --> turns into a jealous yandere ally

Nelia's punch to Gertrude repeating four times was brutal! Her intentions were good but Nelia had a better idea than becoming Pascal's toy. Terakomari Gandesblood, your power-ups are cool every time and I'm glad we got another grand moment for the finale.

She uses a giant energy sword! I definitely had a good time watching this show.

I enjoyed the first few episodes, but this went pretty boring towards the end. It was at its best when it was a comedy about a hikikomari vampire being dragged out into the sunlight. Once we knew Komari was ultra powerful, it basically became a waiting game for when she'd drink some blood and wipe out the bad guys. I'd probably watch a second season, but hopefully they do more character stuff and fewer political battles where we have to wait for Komari to go Super Saiyan.
