Hated it. I cannot accept Brain x Fuka. It has to be Brain x Mimimi. She's like a perfect girl. Fuka stinks. Tomozaki is a baka, as Mimimi says.

1/10.

agree with you, as a couple they suck. Poor Mimimi...

wow the play was actually fuuka who would have known!!! there are so many other ways to show symbolism than just making half the arc about the play's contents. we've followed the creation of the play from script making to performance, yet it feels like we are so isolated from actually being involved. They spent more time discussing the symbolism than creating any actual meaningful connections with the audience, and it just seems like a waste.

fall off of tomozaki s1 -> s2 has to be studied.

decent ending, makes sense, overall not bad, but not as good as I thought it would be. tons of emphasis on the play (while I understand the parallel to the story) was kinda meh imo. 7/10 show imo.

lost its entire emotional connection, plot direction, character development, and overriding concept to become a harem trope anime where the character - AS ALWAYS - picks the most bland, unoriginal, soulless and mindless peon of a choice.
@tmunee at least sometimes the "bad" choice makes sense. This just makes zero sense given who tomozaki was and what a girl confessing should make him feel like. Also the fact he had great chemistry with her. He is building that with Fuuka but it makes no sense when he is beside Minami

I never read manga, but I read the Mimimi spinoff the other day. Unsatisfying. This was one of the worst losses for a girl I have seen in anime.

I knew Mimi would lose, but still sad.

But I think Fuka for Tomozaki is way better.
Also I can't believe how low is the score, I think this season was way better than S10 and love the play. People just got mad because their waifu lose lol

nah i dont give a single shit if this shitshow did something good or not, not picking mimi just made me hate this season

kikuchi's entire personality is that she reads

thats it

all of her other qualities stem from the fact that she reads

absolute crapbag of a character

it was a pretty good conclusion overall. I like Mimimi more but Fuka was expected to be the one, from the start she had most chemistry with him so it wasn't a forced route. that being said I wish they didn't make Mimimi instantly support them and go out of her way to bring them together, I hate that trope it's so common in romance anime, let the underdog have some time to heal first before rubbing it in her face.

Not the ending I thought we'd get. And to be honest, I'm slightly disappointed. I prefer Mimimi by far, but the endgame for me is probably Aoi. She has a special relationship with Tomozaki. And out of the three girls, I think Fuka is the least interesting. I'm not sure how the original source plans to go with this. Do they stay together until the end? Do they break up and Tomozaki gets together with Aoi? I still think the endgame is Aoi.

Maybe I'll pick up the original source to find out.

But anyway, this series gets a 7/10 from me.

I don't know, I have mixed feelings about this final episode, it was quite boring in some parts and I would have liked to see more of the relationship between Tomozaki and Kikuchi so Icould really decide if the choice of put them together is a nice one or a bad one. And the past of Aoi is still a mystery, I hope that in the next season I had the answers on these questions... this final seems a little bit too vague and unclosed, I really don't know

Tomozaki has come a long way, going from an aimless nobody, then following a goal-oriented approach to life being carried away by the waves, to rejecting that shallowness and now only doing it if it aligns with how he truly feels is right according to his morals. Instead of going with the flow, he now makes his own waves that affect everyone around him. He's even grown the balls to confess his love for Kikuchi without hesitation.

Kikuchi really can see through other people, having a better grasp than others, if she was able to see something hollow behind Hinami's mask. It makes sense for why she would try to put Tomozaki and Hinami together at first, even willing to sacrifice her own feelings for him.

Sucks for Minami...always 2nd fiddle. I would have chosen her if I were in Tomozaki's shoes. She was also the first to confess their love after all. She deserves to be special too!

I hope this gets another season that delves deeper into Hinami's character and past, like what the deal was with her sister(s).

First of all I would like to know if there will be a 3rd season, I think so, but I'm not sure. I don't agree with Fuuka being the one chosen by MC. I'm team Minami, but I think there would be more story if the main character would have chosen Aoi, even if she's not my favorite character. Aoi definitely has a lot of history behind her, history that could be put to better use if Fuuka was not chosen. During the first few episodes of this season Fuuka had not appeared until the Bullying arc against Hanabi, it is unfair that she is the victorious.

I'll never understand the Japanese writer's ability to write the very best girls, but yet are completely unable to capitalize on them. You'd think they'd just luck into it at least some of the time, but naw. Every single time. It's impressive, and I totally understand why Japanese people spend 20 hours everyday day at the office. I would too if Fuuka was waiting for me at home. 2/10 season, I can't wait until the story finishes so I can just spoil myself and be done with it all. I'm going to just pretend Aoi tackled Tomozaki onto the train tracks in season 1 after he rejected her ideals. I'd rather have had this series end in a murder-suicide, rather than have my expectations for the writing be smashed so thoroughly. Future mangakas, do us all a favor and just get good. Please, ffs.

Anyway, art was good this season.

I’m feel bad about Minami, I think she is the better choice, so I’m still team Minami. 😂
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Brain just ran off leaving Mimimi in tears w/o even acknowledging what it took for her to come to him. Shit move. I always thought Mimimi was a better friend than he deserved.

I didn't particularly like this season. The last few episodes failed to keep my attention for the most part. I really thought it was going to get interesting after Mizusawa (I think it was him) basically stated he knew Hinami wasn't how everyone thought she was and after the whole thing with Tama. I hoped he'd realize he didn't need Hinami and call an end to her assignments or the class would recognize she was a liar. What was the point in finding out she lied about having a sister and then drop it? Many aspects of Jaku chara remind me of Nobuta wo Produce except the class puppet master and the Mimimi type character are males and the project is female.
@dragynfaerie real, he should have dated her ffs

Yuzu was the perfect choice for the narrator. The play was perfect in every way and quite entertaining. That scene where Mimimi confronts Tomo and pushes him to see Fuka must have took guts. But at last Tomo finally popped the question. Overall an excellent finale to conclude this season with. This season is defo one of the highlights of this season.
@Shingster no, he should have dated minami

The confession scene was nice, and I like how Mimimi being supportive to Tomozaki. It's ok girl, you deserve better.

Overall, this show is decent. A little bit slow and boring at some parts but still tolerable. I'm more invested with the script that Kikuchi's made more than the actual anime story though.

Şimdi eğlenceli ve hayat dolu Mimimi dururken utangaç Kikuchi'yi seçmesi hoş olmadı. Ama o kadar da sorun değil zaten en başından beri çocuğa karşı hisleri olduğu belliydi anlamıştım onu seçeceğini. En büyük fedakarlığı yine her zamanki gibi Mimimi yaptı gerçekten sevmiş be, yazık oldu kızcağıza. Aoi'yi seçmediğine sevindim çünkü o kız bizim elemana fazla gelirdi efendi köleden başka bir şey olmazdı.


It wasn't nice that he now chose the shy Kikuchi instead of the fun and lively Mimimi. But it's not that big of a problem. It was obvious from the very beginning that she had feelings for the boy, I understood that she would choose him. As always, Mimimi made the biggest sacrifice. She really loved the child, what a shame for the girl. I'm glad you didn't choose Aoi because that girl would be too much for our child, she would be nothing more than a master and a slave.

Honestly thought Tomozaki would snub both Mimimi and Kikuchi lol, so I'm pleasantly surprised he confessed at the end to counter her view on Tomo + Aoi as the "perfect couple"

I dunno how to feel about the 2 arcs that this 2nd Season covered, felt like I'm forcing myself to finish this time around compared to Season 1

I enjoyed watching this season but I preferred the first arc than the second one. I was a bit shocked with his choice but in the end, it does not matter whether he choose Mimimi or Kikuchi, the end game is Aoi.

I just hope we get a season 3.

Marathoned Season 1 and 2 over the last few days, and I'm definitely conflicted and upset by the results. I'll keep reading ahead, but it was my sincere hope that Mimimi wouldn't lose, and it's definitely soured my opinion of an otherwise great series.

Woah that was totally a let down. 13 episodes and only, like what, two events happened? Konno the bully gets bullied and culture festival stuff.

Also god damn I kinda figured it out Tomozaki will go for Fuka but... His chemistry, interactions with Mimimi were much, MUCH better. Writer could go with Tomozaki wanting to help Mimimi for getting over her "always being the second" syndrome and he could choose her but nope, boring girl it is. But if the writer's endgame is "Tomozaki and Aoi ending up together", maybe it's for the best. I don't wanna see Mimimi losing to Aoi once again, nope nope nope. She's too precious.

It kinda started out interesting with the Konno stuff but even that dragged out way too long. It definitely felt like a filler season besides the ending, after the first one especially.

One word: TRASH. 🗑️ 🚮
If feels ungenuine and forced to pick Kikuchi, unless they're trying to prolong this series. Seriously, the 2nd season went and ruined the fun of the 1st season.

From 8★ to 5★.
Quite a forgettable series.
I actually liked OreGaiRu in more ways than one¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠☯⁠෴⁠☯⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯, but ths??? Uhh

Another note: this is about a loser gamer trying to climb-up in society, not a gamer with a high proficiency in readin' a fkn light novel.

Season 1 was definitely lovely in its own way but this 2nd season just didn't give me the thrill it needed to give (except the bit where the two boys goes to Gumi's school festival, that was nice), the rest and most of the adaptation feels wrong and disjointed from an anime-only perspective.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Interesting Fumiya and Fuuka starting dating. Clearly Minami still had feeling for him and Aoi seem to hide her true self. I hope there is more to see seems that way.
