So it was basically one big recap episode. lol. Okay.
This show had one MAJOR flaw and that was Akebi. She had no flaws. She literally perfected every thing she did. In the beginning it was like "whatever" but as the story went a long and she excelled at everything it actually annoyed me.

The side characters in this anime are way more fascinating then Akebi is especially the BEST CHARACTER in Erika.

Character designs, mainly their weird ass heads and eyes kinda of grew on me, but at the end of the day this was another vibing sol anime that will probably be forgotten down the line.

7/10

beautiful performance. nice way to do a recap/blurb of the festival.

Seeing the volleyball match made me remember just how tense it is, especially when it gets to the 20-point mark and more so when there's such a small gap. now i never received spikes like Akebi just did, but i remember a similar thing that I did as well, in order to bring it over. how interesting.

very chill anime. Akebi n friends were fun to watch, enjoyable despite almost entirely restricted to the school setting. and compared to Bisque, there seems to be a lot more work put into the production.

I know no one is complaining about it here now, but i've seen the ppl who complain and i simply do not understand how they think this promotes or shows fetishes. good usage of camera pans can greatly emphasize emotion, or just details in general... aren't the ones who complain the same ppl who watch such ecchi shows?

What a finale man, this was beyond anything I could have imagined. The way this episode was directed was ingenious and they even managed to make that short volleyball session intense, Akebi was really cool there. Akebi and Erika's performance was absolutely stunning, loved the scenes in between the performance too. Also Akebi with bedhair is adorable.

Absolutely loved this show, easily anime of the season for me with Akebi being my favourite girl this season.

Wonderful finale to close what has been a decent show, imo. Akebi-chan pulling off her moves and Kizaki-san single-handedly handling the music side of things, they certainly make a good combo. Hats off to Usagihara-san for her support too, she's been my fav of the lot for being so selfless and caring to her friends.

It was nice to see the class wanting to repay the favour by cheering on for Akebi-chan in the end there. I didn't think the episode would go in the way of a recap essentially but the clips and whatnot were placed well in between the performance. I initially thought I'd skipped a bit of the episode at first when Akebi-chan was told to step up on stage at the beginning, xD.

Cloverworks sure didn't hold back a touch either. A bit of Haikyu!! inspiration from that volleyball scene which was fantastic to see! "Komi!" and then that baam, guess the training from last episode reaped its rewards in the nick of the moment.

Personally, it took me a while to get into this show. Character designs were a touch different so it took a little bit of acclimatisation. Scenery wise and the use of the varied colour schemes though, this was right up there among some of the best the medium has to offer. Cloverworks, thank you! It's incredible they managed to pull off both Sono Bisque Doll and this in a single season.

The piano orchestra and choreography this episode really highlighted the lives of these characters altogether. Imo, it was the best way to tell its narrative and story without using words.

We still have the usual school life activities including basketball, cheerleading, etc. I think the main highlight of this finale was giving Akebi the chance and experience of a lifetime. Erika played that piano beautifully while Akebi gave her a performance on stage. A beautiful finale imo and well deserved.

it gave me haikyuu/your lie in April vibes lol and the transition between them both was amazing.

This episode made me feel overly excited, with all sports, and Erika showing who is the boss in that school by changing from piano to violin with no problem.


That damn volleyball part, had so much passion, that could pass as a sports anime.

Great performance to finish.

Honestly, Washio saying "Komi" made me go "Where?"

What a finale!!! I never expected it to get this emotional and beautiful. A great way to wrap things up. Akebi is definitely one of the better shows this seasons!

Now I have to ask... Does anyone have a link or a name for the song/OST Erika played with so much passion.

I think I wear my heart on my sleeves when it comes to shows I actually really like and this is one of those shows. In a sense it was what I wanted out of Komi-san anime though less comedy and more idealized school life 8.5/10.

All I can say is, wow, what a great final episode lol. I really love how they complied the sports festival with Akebi’s dance and Erika’s playing, both the swimming and volleyball part were so good, it was all so well done, I especially loved the part where Erika switched instruments mid performance, that paired with Akebi was stunning. And to end it we find ourselves back in the classroom, just Erika and Akebi, and an awesome end card of a lot of the cast, a nice way to finish this wonderful show.

Man, what a good SoL this was, a super wholesome group of girls and Cloverworks’ amazing art and animation, this was truly a great show. This paired with Dress-Up Darling not only in the same season, but on the same day, was a power combo and I’ll miss it for a long time, I will no longer have my fix of Akebi captivating everyone around her lol, and I’ll also miss that OP and ED, as well as the jump rope one we got that one episode. Once again, would love to see another season of this!

And lastly, as for a best girl, idk lol there’s just too many good ones, but if I had to pick, it would be between Usagihara, Kojou or Hebimori, but man they were all so great you can’t pick just one lol.

Nice to see a studio take something relatively unknown that's never going to be up there amongst the typical blockbuster anime and turn in an animation tour-de-force.

Judged on what this show's clear intent was I'm pretty happy to rate this is a masterpiece.

There are far to few anime like this one, where you can feel your heart swelling at the sheer beauty unfolding before your eyes.

An ending with the performance of Kaori and Kousei... oops wrong anime. There's no actual way you haven't thought of Erika as Kaori that moment when she played the violin. Her dress is also almost the same from Kaori. Awesome ending, just a throwback of what happened during the sport fes and their wonderful journey. 8/10

Holy shit Erika giving the performance of her life for Akebi.

And another holy shit for that Akebi save, damn. Save that led to a glorious spike that transitioned into her performance... wow!

Usagihara MVP! How great it was to see her working behind the scenes supporting Akebi and Erika and not so behind the scenes in the volleyball match. By the way, her face attracted the ball all the way to the end lmao. Best girl for me, always loved her playful personality and loved Akari Kitou's performance.

This final episode was so amazing. The way we started with Akebi's performance and over the course of it we saw the sports events with Akebi cheering for her friends and later, they were there to support her had me grinning from start to finish. Man, I'm going to miss the ball of energy and charisma that is Akebi, she was such a joy to watch.

And then came the sad part. Akebi's way to school was already hitting me in the feels, to then that last "Good morning" followed by the montage of what we saw in these 12 episodes (accompanied by another part of the OP) brought some tears to my eyes, I'm truly sad to see this show end.

This show was such a surprise because just with the PV and that title I didn't know what to expect from it, but once I saw the first episode, it blew me away. Of course the hook was how amazing it looked and how incredible the animation was but everything else was just as great, what a wonderful SOL.

To be honest it's hard to pick my favorite new show of the season because while I feel like I enjoyed Sono Bisque Doll a bit more, I feel like Akebi-chan was more fulfilling. Either way, I'm going to miss this show a lot and hope to see more of it in the future.

10/10 The OP was one of my favorites, if not my favorite of the season.

Erika >>>> Kaori. Anytime.
Also, that last point of the volleyball match felt so Haikyu. It was insane lol.

10/10 finale without a doubt. It was simply amazing and the idea of implementing a 12-min long musical performance to recall all the events and emotions that transpired throughout the sports festival was pure genius. Congrats to the episode director in that regard.
And what a mesmerizing performance it was, huh? Erika and Akebi did great ♥


Overall and leaving author's personal fetishes aside, this was indeed a pretty nice SoL/CGDCT show. Its visuals were stunning, direction was quite solid and we got a cast filled with tons of endearing characters (including Kao aka cutest imouto). Seriously, there were girls to cover almost every taste but Akebi and Erika will forever remain as my most favorite ones.

8/10 - Surprise of the Winter season for me and hoping it gets a sequel someday.

Once it went away from most of the weird, fetishy stuff in the earlier episodes, it became quite the endearing and wholesome show. Sure, it was still their in spurts, but not as in your face as they once were.

Cloverworks really picking themselves back up after some disasters recently, great little show with some of the best visuals you'll hope to see in a SOL. 8/10.

Oh my God, that was an incredible last episode. Loved how they transitioned between the performance and the sports. They could have just made the performance the whole episode and I wouldn't have mind.

Usagihara the MVP, we thank her for bringing us this dual performance. My favorite part was definitely the volleyball moments though, that was straight up amazing, especially the transition from the dance to the spike.

While the ED montage was playing, I realized how fast the season went, like Jesus it was fast. Really hope we get a second season in the future, but in the mean time, I am definitely gonna start reading the manga. 8.5/10
