Because it’s a 13 episode anime, that’s why it’s over?

What an ending. I love it, I was giggling so much and at some point, I was crying. THIS IS JUST TOO SWEET!!!!! Among the romance shows I've watched, this one is pretty basic (in a good way), no strange gimmicks, no convoluted plot or plot twists, just pure diabetes and love. The slice of life aspect of it is also very fun, every episode made me wish that I was a part of their group. Great show.

I don't think I needed to see Kaoru's POV of episode 1. I see what they were trying to do but I didn't care for it as a finale. It could've passed as an OVA.
However, Rintaro's boldness to confess again was nice though...

It's a good adaptation and all, but I came here to just say that the best girl is Subaru, period

Didn't like it as much as others seemed to. Couple wouldn't work out in real life. It would collapse. Story was weak. Would've liked more of the long haired girl and ecchi and fanservice.

A beautiful love story between two people that everything was supposed to oppose and who finally resemble each other much more than imagined, a story in the style of Romeo and Juliet modernized with a happy ending that can bring back someone love to love!

What a masterpiece of a finale. Shifting to Kaoruko's point of view through a flashback after showing only Rintaro's point of view throughout the previous episodes was the best move they could’ve made. I’m glad they started dating, and I really hope we get a second season!

That was great! I'm so happy ever since the full group got together there wasnt any drama for the rest of the series. I left this at episode 5 cause I thought the drama and cliffhangers would continue and I'm glad I was wrong.

So cute! So wholesome! Makes me want to read the manga but I'll hold off a bit in case they announce season 2. With how beloved this series is I want to hope it does get a S2 announcement soon.

This is what Peak romance is. The confession, all the emotions. The first series I am going to pick up the manga for after 7 years of not doing that.

I can't find anything to dislike about this anime. A lot of the things people complain about are exactly the things I like about it, or that make it stand out from some other romances (not just anime romances either). Not every romance has to have constant drama over serious things (or even tragedy), misunderstandings that take forever to resolve, or have all the characters be sarcastic jerks who are always doing "witty banter". Sometimes you just want a feel-good show. I also like the focus on friendship, both Rintaro's and Kaoruko's friends. Combined with how Rintaro is at least slightly less bland than some other male MC's in romances, it feels like a show that can appeal to both guys and girls.

I'd like to see a season 2 for more Subaru and Saku, maybe more new characters, and more sugary wholesomeness and cake 🍰

straight hair with hime cut Kaoruko is very hot, I hope she goes back to this style, I like her even more now, and she's a stalker a definite plus

anyway the drama is shallow, the romance is childish boring and slow, the characters are a bunch of drama queens over the littlest of issue

Kaoruko is great tho but show is

Man I did like this rom com at all to the point I find the current score insulting to rate this as high as “Bocchi”, “Cowboy Bebop”, “Dangers in my Heart” is absolutely ridiculous. The main problem with this series as many MANY people have pointed out is the lack of substance everything from the plot to the characters lacks depth.

After reading the manga (Yes I was an idiot and got caught up in the hype) I respect that the author wanted to create a straightforward wholesome rom com in an otherwise over saturated genre but I don’t think what they made is very good. A lot of the stupid drama in this series feels very awkward and out of place it kinda makes me think that’s the stuff her editors forced into the story. In fact about halfway through the manga the drama gets dropped completely and all of sudden it’s wholesome goodie times for 100 chapters yes you read that right this series has 160~ CHAPTERS WTF. One of the main reasons I think this never took off before the anime was because of how repetitive and boring it gets after the confession.

Look I get the world is depressing right now I get that people want wholesome stuff but without the negative parts of life the happy moments just feel so hollow. This’ll get a second season for sure but I won’t be tuning in and I certainly know I won’t be alone.

This finale was actually a lot better than I thought it would be. Kaoruko was looking absolutely beautiful in the yukata, probably my favorite look she’s had, and her backstory of how she originally fell in love with Rintaro really added a lot to their original meeting which I thought was pretty cheesy back on episode 1, Rintaro is a bit of a goof for completely forgetting their first interaction but I love what it meant to Kaoruko. And I can’t forget to mention we got a proper confession this time, and with Kaoruko revealing how she’s truly felt all this time, of course she said yes, very sweet ending to the season, a shame we didn’t get to see any of their dating life beyond this but hopefully we might get to see it in anime form one day.

And that was it for probably the most hyped romance anime in a long time, but was it as good as the hype? Unfortunately I don’t think so, I was expecting a generational romance anime but it’s really just a straightforward fluffy romance without a lot to make it that special, I also found it to be pretty sappy at times, yeah I think Kaoruko is adorable and I liked Rintaro and his friends, Subaru’s character development was pretty good too, but it just didn’t quite grab me like it did a lot of other people. And you know what? That’s okay, I’m a big romance fan but sometimes one will come along that’s not quite what I wanted it to be. All that being said, I did still like the show quite a bit, it wasn’t bad or average by any means, I had a good time with it despite it not wowing me, and I do hope it gets another season one day.

Also the OP and ED were very good, if there’s anything I can’t complain about, it’s those lol, the song here on the final episode was great too. And with that, the CloverWorks triple threat of romance anime is over (if you consider AoButa romance anyway lol), I’m glad I managed to hit all three of them, this one may not have been my favorite but I’m glad it was there alongside Dress-Up Darling and AoButa.
