| Man I just loved when Shima told that red haired girl to stay away from him she knows that it's not Shima's mistake that she got in a scandal but still acts like it's Shima's mistake and even disrespect's his mother, totally a befitting treatment for her and I don't even feel bad for her after she cried because she deserves it and I just love to see Shima and Mitsumi together like they are so happy when together. I hope this doesn't end here and we get a season 2. |
 |
| Nice ending... Ririka's attitude was over the top though... having a scandal for a budding actor is quite severe so I could see where she was coming from...but it was mostly her own fault, she didn't have any right to blame Sousuke for it... Well, it's not like ppl are rational everytime. |
 |
| Man now one of my favorite shows has ended. I loved this one. I always ate Panda Express on Wednesdays (my time) while eating it. I had it today too while watching the final episode. I guess Shima-kun was trying to confess or almost confessed towards the end? I don't care about the romance tbh whether it exists or not, I want to see Iwakura become a politician. Also I kinda ship Chris and Ririka, reminds me of my dad and mom, my dad was a short king and mom was taller and gorgeous. Not saying dad was ugly but he said when they dated, people kept telling my mom she could do better and by better they meant someone taller and more good-looking I guess. I'm rooting for my short king Chris. |
| 臭い- |
| The characters relationship building, relatable perspective especially from Sousuke's. Mitsumi was the light of the show. I really love the series. One of my AOTS |
 |
| Happy that Ririka realised that he is not at fault but she still could have talked things out with Shima but anyways this ep was really good as well as the whole series! Loved it. Waiting for season 2. |
| Really good adaptation. I've been thoroughly enjoying Skip and Loafer since I read the manga before the adaptation, especially considering my current life situation. When I think of an ensemble cast, this show immediately comes to mind. The interactions between the characters feel genuine and light-hearted at the right moments, maintaining a consistent tone throughout. Even during scenes that delve into Shima and Ririka's past, the show never goes overboard. Speaking of which, I'm extremely satisfied with how that storyline was resolved today. There's no excessive dwelling on the past, and Shima and Ririka's resolution to it was handled efficiently. Although the issue itself may be complex, dealing with attachment and guilt, the straightforward solution helps bring everything together and provides a satisfying conclusion. Shima's personal conflict has always revolved around his identity, which he lost when he began feeling that all his actions were for others. His answer to this dilemma is simple yet fulfilling: not being tied down by the past and living in the present, fully immersing himself in the things that bring him joy. While there may be more to his journey, the season finale wraps it up beautifully. What captivates me about this series are the straightforward messages it conveys. The importance of having goals, appreciating diverse individuals, embracing change, and being proud of one's identity. These themes may be considered cliché, but they struck a chord deep within me. This series demonstrates that a compelling story doesn't always require monumental challenges or intricate conflicts. It can be about the characters, the small obstacles they face, and the simple joys they encounter. Lastly, the season finale concludes with an endearing cinematic parallel to the first episode. Just as Shima watched Mitsumi running forward back then, now it's Mitsumi's turn to witness Shima sprinting ahead with excitement, bringing better hopes for the future. |
"......If I told you that I was a real witch, would you believe it?"  |
| I love Shima's character, I can relate to not truly knowing myself and sometimes feeling envy towards others. I'm glad Shima said those things to Ririka, she kept blaming him for something that was her own fault. This anime was so comforting and wholesome, I'm going to miss watching it every Tuesday. |
| This show was a fresh take on the Highschool plot, where romance is minimal and character interaction is given a good amount of time. The direction was amazing, the shots were too good and visually pleasing too. Really hope this gets a S2. A solid 7.5/10 for me |
 |
| I really, really loved this anime and the characters but the final episode felt a little bit underwhelming to be honest... I really hope we get a second season ♥ |
You're the light shining over The black and gloomy nights So long I've been waiting To run into your arms Oh, my only one desire You're the one I need Through the thousand years ~ Evermore "Midnight Sun" by AleXa |
| This anime exceptionally shines in how well-written the characters are and how seemingly harmonious their interactions played out, despite of how different they are or how it’s so out of their comfort zone. And I’m not only referring to the 2 main leads, but the whole group of 5 of theirs. Each of them has their own layers, and are not simply one-dimensional or one-trick gag characters that you see in some other anime. I was particularly impressed by how good Sousuke Shima and Yuzuki Murashige are at ‘reading the air’ - being very situationally aware of the feelings and thoughts of others. All in all, a coming of age that is cozy, heartwarming and also somewhat healing. Highly looking forward to the continual growth of the characters and their interactions in the following seasons. Great watch. 10/10 |
 |
| Ririka's scene was difficult but after that it still ended well to end the school festival, I hope that Shima will be able to fix most of his problems now, but Mitsumi helped so many characters to grow and evolve that's incredible ahah. I thought this show would be kinda cliché at 1st but it ended up feeling different especially for how well-written its characters are, hope for a 2nd season soon! |
 |
| I'm so proud to see Shima standing up for himself from Ririka finally and the fact that now he's free and happy makes me glad, the friendship between him and Mitsumi is the best, they were so cute at the end and the fact that she can make him smile and laugh is even better. I'm sad that this was the final episode from the series but I can't wait to see more if they come up with a season 2. |
 |
| I hope and wish this gets a season 2. The story was nothing new but still a beautiful one. The character development and relationships were good. And Mitsumi was awesome. |
 |
| Loved this last episode! Things went a lot smoother than I thought they would, though I wish Shima's mom was there to see his performance, but of course Ririka had to ruin it. Ririka is such a bitch LOL at least Shima is moving forward without her, and will probably be more happy now that he is. I really love the note this show ended on, and I love Mitsumi's anteater pose 😊 I kind of wish we got to see Nao one more time before the show ended but oh well, this was still awesome! I think this is definitely like an 8 or 9 out of 10 for me. Such a wholesome and sweet show, and while it is sad it's over I'm happy with how it ended |
 |
| Great way to end this season, Shima finaly moved on from his past and he's about to embrace the endless possibility that is high school. Good for him. I wish that the Mom would have seen the play. I'm also glad that Ririka put the bullshit behind her trying to blame Shima for everything. Her crying was actually funny though. I'm not sure if this was the redemption arc for her but that's a good start. |
| I'll miss Mitsumi's vioice. 8/10 |
 |
| Really love this show up to the shima arc kinda liked it when he was just a very nice duder but the depth to his character being yet another troubled past and hes kinda a bad boy getting gaslighted by one of his childhood friend bringing the good vibes down was a bit of a whimper to go out on with the big school fest arc i was wrong in wanting plot! i'm sorry for what runtime they had i enjoyed most the characters even if some took far more to grow on me i really need a another season Pa works 8/10 for the show up till the shima stuff which is a flat 7/10! what a unexpected treat those early episodes were so refreshing |
 |
| What a wonderful show this was! Endearing, authentic characters, thoughtful writing, beautifully drawn and animated, and just a breath of fresh air overall. It definitely felt like the show simply "stopped" in its tracks just as it got started, however. Really, really hope this continues. |
| Definitely an 8/10. Solid show. Very good from the start to the beginning with almost no episodes that were worse than the others. Felt like a good idea to end it here - would work well as a standalone plot without sequels. (You never can be sure if it gets continued.) I wonder how far the manga is - and how long it will go with the plot. The school stuff seems to have progressed fast. Feels like with 2-cour they'd finishe 1 year and with 3x2 cour (5 more seasons) it could adapt the full school setting - then end. (Unless the manga tries to take her fully through her life until she gets a politician lol. Did not feel fast-paced enough for this. Then it would have to run pretty long though. Introducing other chars at university and stuff.) Liked Vinland Saga, Tengoku Daimakyou and The insomnia anime better this season - rare to hat that mcuh great stuff. Insomnia mainly because we have a less subtle romance and I like the chars a bit more - focus on the main chars. Those anime easiler tend to make mistakes though. (Getting some worse episode.) Someone on a solide 8 level all the time - like here ... also has it's own pros. Definitley would recommend it unless you strongly dislike stuff where "less" is happening. SoL-wise it is better. (I strongly dislike silly SoL with girls just doing camping or other stuff - and no char-depth.) |
| Very nice School Life anime. It was pleasant to watch. |
| Anteater Mitsumi was hilarious xD. Man, it really surprised me how good this show turned out to be. I'm going to miss it a lot. The OP shall be missed too. It was so great and fun to watch. Yuzu-chan best girl! Hopefully we will get a season 2. |
| It felt underwhelming for a finale but still, I loved how they were able to showcase each characters and their growth. I really enjoyed this show from start to finish. |

| Venus was FOR sure transiting his birth chart 7th house. So many people from the past showing up!!! |
