| A kiss?! I wish they showed it in a better angle but yeah. I like how Takamine is on Shirota's side this entire time and helped him play his role in the play. They had the best chemistry this episode than any other from this season imo. That Ouji guy just gave off loser vibes. What a season really. This season finale is also my favorite episode. |
 |
| The time has come for Shirota to play the role of Prince after Ouji's mishap for their Cinderella play, though it's definitely not a normal class play when it comes to sexualizing Takamine for the audience effect. But what displeases her the most is when Shirota doesn't do a good job by forgetting his first few lines, that forces Takamine to conduct a reset to "advice" him to better get into the mood. For sure, Shirota's not acting anymore, he's just following her lead. But of course, since Takamine took out her panties as a sacrifice, Shirota now finds himself in her dress to ready a spare pair while she does her soliloquy, though the challenge is how he's going to put on the scant pair with side ribbons and the like, which is quite the frustration that adds to her perfect acting. The sequence thereafter is heaps of normalcy, though Ouji literally crashing onto the stage creates quite the diversion to improvise on the spot. All of this, just to be able for Ouji to touch her magnificent feet, and Shirota's retaliation only makes the audience all the more pleased for some fiery drama...for Takamine's kiss on her closet!? Surely, the play was a resounding success with that plot twist, though everyone was trying to deduce if Takamine ACTUALLY kissed Shirota, and the secret is only between the two that leaves her closet all the more dumbfounded. Takamine going as far as to redo her moment for Shirota getting her answer wrong, is how she maintains her domineering over Shirota until he gets it right, which she finally calls him by his first name. NGL, this Cinderella variation story is the best thing about this finale (or maybe even the entire anime in general)... But as a whole, the anime is just heaps and miles inferior to the manga. |

| Bro almost messed it all up, good thing her powers saved the day. Looked like she was finally starting to care or whatever… but nah, who am I kidding? This show’s trash and we got tricked again. Takamine just found another way to treat Shirota’s real feelings like they don’t matter at all... just great. I thought we couldn't get worse than Danjoru in terms of romances, but nah, this is straight up tasteless gooner trash LMFAO. Like it’s not even pretending to be classy or subtle or anything?? And the second you yank away the horny visuals (a whole quarter into the show??), what’s even left??? Just vibes? Rot? Questionable life choices?? I’m just saying… |

| Takamine-san as Cinderella was beautiful. Her beautiful voice and everything π π Going to miss them      |
| Takamine was really beautiful as Cinderella and it was really nice of her to help Shirota with his lines when he messed up. This was quite a fun series I would certainly not be disappointed if we got a second season. |
| It was a fun ride. I liked that they made the play a bit of a musical. I also liked that they made it "original" with two princes. And I agree with the injured-prince = Takamine's feet are amazing The final part of the episode (the evening scene) was anime original, to give it a more conclusive feeling to the anime. This season 01 covered chapters 01-to-29 of the manga So start of Chapter 30 if you wish to continue the manga. And im surprised that the anime didnt animate chapters 30 and 31, to complete volume 05. I wouldnt mind a season 02, but I dont need it. |

| Well, my boy Shirota will gladly continue to be a closet. He even got an exclusive peek at her rear - the show kept finding ways to up the scales and this was definitely testing it, lmao. I don't know how the heck Shirota survived all that movement but hey, it's definitely got to do with that vintage garment I'm sure, lol. The little "spice" with the jealous ikemen was pretty hilarious though. And the narrator is a real piece of work. |

| Came unexpectedly when expected and was unexpectedly better than expected... While I think the show is bad most the time (commonly because of Shirota), this play was actually kind of fun! Though, I obviously hate the ending and it's more likely for me to watch Ex-Arm than a second season of this (if it's ever made). 4.333333333333.../10 (One '3' for every time time was reset.) |
| And so we end with the play, a kiss and some reflection to end the festival. It's somewhat ironic that the only show I seriously considered dropping during this season ended up being the first I finished. Mind you, I didn't want to drop it due to quality concerns. It was Crunchyroll's prudish delays that upset me. Thankfully I was able to easily access all the episodes but really, there was nothing in this I'd say justified the way they handled the situation. It's frustrating, but oh well. This series reminded me quite a bit of Nagatoro-san, only obviously a much ecchier version. Maybe if the art club president were the main character of that series, ya know? Meek male protagonist oblivious to the domineering female protagonist in love with him. It's not exactly an original concept. Hell, in both series I actually found the very first episode the most off-putting. Not the kind of impression you'd wanna make when looking for an audience I suppose, but as I stuck with it I enjoyed it more. The fanservice was nice too I guess. I'd watch more if we got it. Lastly, I really dug the ending theme for this one, Hightail It. I actually listened to it quite a few times on YouTube during the season along with the ending from Chuzenji-sensei. Probably my two favorites out of the shows I watched this season. 7/10 |

| Well it may have been gooner slop, but credit where it’s due, it was a decent finale lol. Shirota now knows Takamine doesn’t just want him around as a closet even if it took ages for him to realize. Next big step is the proper confession. MC started as a victim but the way he stood up to the other prince was pretty badass. The play was actually a nice way to bring everything together because Shirota had to grow a backbone and confront his own feelings for Takamine. Not really worth any substantive write up. You take away the gooner shit from the show and the eps are like 5 mins long. There’s only so many times you can see Takamine take her underwear off before it gets old and Shirota not being used to it by now is insane. It was an ok mindless watch, but I won’t miss it |

| Takamine in dress looks beautiful. Takamine asserting dominance as usual too, love her. The anime adaptation was decent, wasn't really expecting much and while it didn't have top tier animation/visuals I liked it enough. |
 |
| Well, this was the epitome of unbelievably mid imo and Takamine was insufferable. (denser than black hole MC aside) There were some better episodes and all the episodes managed to air despite Crunchyroll's fuck ups, so it gets a pity 6. Still I find it insane this has an overall higher score than "Kakushite! Makina-san!!", that one is at least funny and unhinged. |
| Takamina, should wear T-shirt where her feelings are written, maybe then the main character will get something, well, or buy a few lingerie stores, but in general I enjoyed it, from a separate thank you to the author for adding pure yuri, not yuri bait, as it is fashionable. |
| So she hid him under her dress... while they were surrounded by multiple people on that stage. And no one was even noticing that he's missing or wondered how he appeared again? Ugh, sure... I thought this would be the ecchi of the season, but unfortunately it was far from that. The animation was lacking and the MC was just a spineless, stuttering mess from start to end. 4/10 |

@animefan8800 The OP & ED for this surprisingly are two of the BEST this season. I really enjoy them. That jazzy feel just resonates with me, I don't know why, but it does.
| @Sheol01 The OP was cool too, though it didn't stick with me to nearly the same extent. |
| I swear, her song while he was hidden in her skirt was just blatantly about their own situation... :D |
 |
@luinthoron at this point he should have just eaten it |

| "what's with these guys?" I wonder. Quite an animated bustle she has there. "A scant hope?!" Bur a pretty and sexy one. Royal foot fetish. |
| Lord Cruelty V "But my Dreams they're not as empty, as my conscience seems to be" |
| The play actually turned out pretty well-even with Ouji sabotaging it just to stop Shirota from touching Takamine's feet (if only he knew how far those two have already gone). They improvised nicely, and the ending with Cinderella choosing a commoner? Honestly, one of the best twists I've seen on the classic tale. I didn't like the anime at all at first, but once Takamine stopped using her powers just to boost her social status and started helping Shirota build confidence, I began to enjoy it. It's a decent series, and like most ecchi, it has some bold scenes-especially uncensored. Sadly, Shirota's low self-esteem and general cluelessness made it impossible for him to realize Takamine liked him... even after she kissed him. Still, it really feels like there's a good chance we'll get a second season. |
 |
| Ouji was definitely jealous of Shirota there during the play, and we had a great kiss scene from Takamine. Solid episode to round out the series, Takamine does grow on you if you give her a chance for sure. I think too many people just gave up after the starting episode. |
| Shirota was honestly the most tiring part of this anime. |
 |
| They ended up making the Cinderella play their own quite nicely here in the sexy and goofy Takamine way, Shirota hiding under Takamine’s dress and trying to put panties on while she’s moving around was pretty hilarious, as well as the unexpected Ouji crash-out when he interrupted the play because of his foot fetish, that’s the second time Ouji has surprised me lol. But they ended up improvising and actually improving the play in the process, leading to a nice kiss between Takamine and Shirota before an entire audience, honestly it’s a good thing Takamine did that because I don’t think we were getting a kiss otherwise lol. I also really liked the reactions from Ellie and Rurika throughout the play, that added a lot as well, I need more of Ellie screaming lol. And the last moments of the episode were pretty sweet, even if Shirota still can’t fathom Takamine actually liking him lol, it’s hard to blame him too much but you gotta look at what all they’ve been through, she likes you bro, but I’m sure it’ll still be some time before he comes to realize it. But for now, we get some more hot teasing from Takamine, and Shirota will continue to be in his incredibly lucky position as her closet for the foreseeable future, and that’s fine by me. And that was it for the “stripping time traveler and her human closet” anime, despite the delays and what most are saying, I thought this one was pretty fun. Takamine herself started out pretty rough with the blackmail, but over time she got a lot better and began having some actually wholesome moments with our boy Shirota, with lots of sexy goodness along the way too, the ecchi was pretty damn solid overall I gotta say, probably the best part of the show besides the romance. Now the show did have a few issues, like the art and animation was a bit iffy at times, as well as the overuse of the time travel animation, like they even played it in full one last time in this episode lol, it’s not a big deal because you can just fast forward but I still think it overstayed its welcome. Another issue was the MC, Shirota, now I don’t have a big problem with him but I will admit he could get kinda annoying, I don’t blame people for not liking him, overall tho I’d say he was fine, I really liked his moments with Takamine after all. And ngl the OP and ED were pretty awesome, ecchi anime seem to always get bangers and this was no exception, the visuals for the ED were very cool too. I hope this one gets a Season 2, it wasn’t a spectacular show but I do want to see more of Takamine and Shirota’s relationship developing, as well as whatever sexy shenanigans they get into next, oh and also the yuri couple, I gotta get more of them lol. |

| Damn, can't really blame him. Who wouldn't want to touch those divine feet? |
 |
| Hiding Shirota under her Cinderella dress and singing her solo during that is actually crazy. Only Takamine would do something wild like that. The improv with Ouji coming back was kind of funny too. I guess we are left with an open-ended ending where the status quo remains and Shirota is only implying things that happen in the future. |
And with that, the series about Cosmo saying "Repeat" with panties ends I'm still reading the manga every now and then. And let me tell you: This will take a long while. I don't even know if that's possible.  No complaints other than the censorship and the delays because of it (at least on CR, which, for me, was something new. "Am I seeing nipples in this platform with impunity?" That's what I thought), but overall it was fine. I liked "Hightail it" by Makoto Furukawa a lot, and they added it as the ending, which to me sounded very elegant. |
| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |
| This is the best show of Spring 2025. |
| The cinderella finale was pretty nice, especially the last minute improv. I'll give this a 7, mostly due to the ramped up lewdness in certain episodes and the fact that the plot moved along somewhat. I'd say Takamine and Shirota made decent progress especially compared to numerous other shows out there. |
 |
| This was a pretty good ep. But overall this was quite mid |
 |
| Warra W ending...... This ending is way better than everything so far. Finally Kurota manned up for once and Takamine responded kindly. This cindrella play was so so much better than I ever expected. Romcom anime 12th episode kiss never misses. How tf dumbo still oblivious idk...  But Takamine is literally amazing. Ecchi and sexiness aside she is just a great entertaining character always (except annoying butterfly flashback and shounen type calling out attacks). It's trash and I love trash and last episode bumped up the standard a LOT. 6.5/10 |
