| Was that apology supposed to be a redemption for Masaki?!? Sigh. Masaki literally learned nothing over the course of the show. We never even found out why she punched her channelmate on camera, yet she decided it would be a good idea to do the same thing again! She feels no actual remorse for her actions, she just feels bad about the fact that she is being perceived in a negative light. She's just playing the victim, seemingly sorry because she's suddenly determined to continue her career – in that sense, this anime isn't too far off from reality... The fact that she's ambiguously lesbian, an insecure little attention seeker and self-aware of the fact that she's a piece of shit won't make me sympathize with her. She's supposed to be a self-initiated character, how come it hasn't even once crossed her validation-chasing mind to simply try and become a better person through self-improvement?! In the beginning, I really thought the anime was setting her up as someone who's going to grow and become likeable by learning from her past mistakes, but the show literally gave us nothing but more reasons to hate her. I would not be as mad if she was intentionally written as unlikeable, but the anime is clearly framing her as some misunderstood genius when in reality she's just a selfish brat. 3/10, Tokage should've had her own episode. She's literally the only reason I stuck with this garbage. |

| In terms of new shows and not returning ones this was easily the best show this season and one of my favourites of all time, It was hilarious and every character was amazing, Masa and Live had an amazing dynamic and Yuki was another standout character. Masa saying on stream that there deal was for Live to make a meal out of her definitely is gonna be taken way out of context for the viewers of that livestream LMAO This whole episode being one massive prank blew me tf away I never expected that at all and I don't blame Masa for Slamming Live into oblivion. I love that in the end everyone came to support Masa, even the hype-sis girls. completely unnecessary but making Masa basically one massive 20 year long crush for Live was really adorable. absolutely amazing show 10/10 |
| Ichiko with her world class acting. |
| gg. LMAO, even the livestream chat is so real.  Definitely one of the best anime in this year. |

| predictable but good ending to this overall decent show |
| It's wonderful show with lovely characters. Live and Masaki will be missed fs. One of my favourite shows this season. |
| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |
| This was one hell of finale episode and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment from beginning to end. Everything was just perfect, from the setup with the cliffhanger last episode to the entire tag sequence and the revelation that it was a prank all along was amazing. And to top it off, the post-credits scene was very cute and we got closure on how Live found Masaki in the first place. I'm going to need to get my hands on the OST. The electro swing influence throughout the episodes fit so well, particularly in that whole chase scene, and the bossa nova? rendition of the OP was great for the ED. I’ve had the OP on loop for the past week or so because of its catchiness, but the relaxed version is also good. This was certainly the underdog of the season for me, and though I could see myself rewatching this in the future, I wouldn't be averse to a second season. |

| No way, I did not see that twist coming! I mean I guess I expected Live to be the last hunter towards the end, but not for all of it to be staged! I have to say I enjoyed this way more than I expected. This really grew on me. Even in a season with the likes of Monogatari, Spice and Wolf and Oshi no Ko it put up a good fight and managed to stand out. I would totally love to see a second season and for once the story seems just fine for it too, other originals seem to finite towards the end, but this could just keep going in a second cour immediately. If there is one complaint I had it would be the whole starting scenario with Masaki punching her friend on stream, she never apologized for it properly and the show set her up as a victim of toxic fans when she really was in the wrong. She was totally toxic for atleast half of the show.. just why? There was no payoff, she just turned into a likeable person. I will miss the OP and ED too, they were amazing as well! |

| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| This was a dark horse of the season for me. Really enjoyed this anime immensely. Sad to see it end. Also, I knew that punch was coming after finding out she was pranked, punching someone in the face on camera is essentially Masaki's calling card at this point. XD |
| I am become bunny, fluffing of worlds. |
| Great and I'm glad they told the reason for Live's attachment to Masaki, too bad they didn't show Mother, with her voice it should be a great character, but so 10. |
| So the whole thing was simply a prank on poor Masaki, huh? I won't deny that it did have me fooled for the most part until the rooftop scene, where I figured it out that it was Live who was the one questioning Masaki. In typical fashion, Masaki gave thanks to Live by sending a beautiful right hook to her face! XD Overall, I am really satisfied with how Mayonaka Punch went from start to finish. Not only was it one of the most entertaining shows that I've seen this season, but I'd say that it's one of the most underrated as well. It won't be for everyone, but the comedic style that was used was consistently funny and the production values was great. Episode 4, focusing on Fu, showed that this series could also do the emotional moments as well and it remains my favourite episode of the series. For the most part, it's why I tend to enjoy a lot of the original anime series that P.A. Works comes up with. I do look forward to seeing more projects from them in the near future! 8/10 |
| I knew it was a joke from the beginning to get Masaki to admit that he wanted to appear in the videos; it all felt weird from the previous episode. Still, Masaki keeps hitting people when he gets angry. It was surprising to see Outside Kids and Hyped-Sis in on the joke, and it even helped change my negative view of Hyped-Sis. The flashback revealing that Live was saved by a young Masaki 20 years ago was completely unexpected. That explains why Live is so obsessed with Masaki. I really like how this anime tackles various topics related to social media, such as Masaki's fear of it, hate and controversies, and hypocritical people who just hate for trolling. Even though that's a real part of the internet, it's still unpleasant. Overall, it was a good and satisfying ending. They wrapped up the story well, but I'm looking forward to another season. |
 |
| So they played it off as comedy mostly, as Masaki remains rather stagnant, violent and selfish throughout the 12 episodes, kinda pathetic, but it was quite funny so I still give it a 7/10. |
| "Its just a prank bro". Jokes aside peak finale. Emotional yet fun, and most importantly a satisfying end. At least I believe so. Also Live and Masaki crossing paths 20 years ago was cute. Very good anime |
 |
| They got me, ofc it had to be just a prank bro, man this show was such a pleasant surprise, the character designs, how colorful the show was, the comedy but also the surprising drama and touching moments, so many hidden gems and surprise shows this season for me. I'm glad we got a happy ending and that everything turned out fine with the Hype-Sis. Ichiko and Yuki best girls. |
| I'm kinda out of words on what should I be feeling about this one. 80% of the season was quite swell with all it's youtuber shenanigans. But these last 2 episodes felt so shoehorned with drama and weird narrative for the sake of finishing the show in the allocated 12 episode format (reminds me of a kid rushing their school duties on the last day of summer). This is the kind of shows that needed a few more episodes or a movie to make a satisfactory conclusion. Not a bad show, sadly it was the one I had my biggest hopes out of the 3 shows from P.A. works this season 8still behind on Nare Nare and ditched the Sakuna show after 2 episodes). I'll still give it a 7.5/10 despite it's short comings (the P.A. works fanboy in me demands it). |
| So Masaki was taken on a wild ruse cruise after all! |
| Awesome last episode. I especially liked the flashback to Masaki helping Live when she was a kid it was so sweet. Then immediately regretting it and throwing her 😂 yup that's the Masaki I know. Hopefully this series gets a season 2. |
| what a fitting ending Masaki getting punk'd even if it was a plan to get her to pour her guts out for the content she still the violent ass girl from the start ! fun lil OG PA works that only got better as it went on i'd be done for another season 7.5/10 S tier char designs Yuki's is one my favorites this year |
 |
| I enjoyed this show, surprisingly. It's probably the first anime I've seen that centers around modern/social media culture. Yuki is still my favorite vampire among the cast. |
| It's a good anime with a good ending, enough said. The idea of having to create a YouTube channel and reach a million subscribers with a cast of vampires is cool. I'm also glad that Masaki was able to get over her fear of being on camera. |
 |
| Most of their videos were aight. Some of them would be potentially watchable. But they did a great job at making the final live stream as something that could legitimately become a wide-spread internet phenomenon. I also really liked how they just embraced Masaki's violence, even as a kid she never held back xd. Even though the prank might've been a little predictable/cliche, I think the setup and stakes were really there, and the whole crew committed really hard to making it believable, especially with the vampire reveal. I don't blame Masaki at all for falling for it. With regards to Masaki being an a-hole, I don't think they were ever aiming to redeem her. It was moreso about how the vampire homies accept her despite her shortcomings to just have some fun which I'm cool with. Her self-redemption is a different story, this one was about breaking the curse of being unable to go on camera ever since she attempted the apology video. The lesson being that these internet people are just yapping nonsense for their enjoyment, so just don't give a damn about them and have your own fun. |
| Give me another season of this. Shigeyuki best girl |
Without a doubt, one of the surprises of this season. The good vibes in each episode was one of its strong points. I really liked it! |
| ugh, the half was cringe but well, ... the end was fairly decent. 7/10 |
| Last episode, I first thought this was going to be a prank, then everything started sounding legit and believable, especially because of the Ai backstory, so I believed it. I can't believe we actually got pranked along with Masaki lmao, FUCK YOU TOKAGE! Genius and perfect ending for the show. Aww, the Live and Masaki backstory was sweet. Masaki has been a violent gremlin ever since she was but a wee child. It's funny though, Live just went out one day at daylight, then burned to a crisp and met Masaki. I think there's still a lot of potential things to explore here and we need more Shigeyuki- I mean Yuki, since she joined officially very late. And most importantly, Live and Masaki hasn't gotten hitched yet, give Live a taste of that blood again! If ever we don't get a second season, I think this was already a great ending, but if there's enough demand for the producers, then it's left very open. I mean, we still haven't reached 1 million subscribers and Live hasn't made a meal out of Masaki yet. Time to throw money at this show's direction. I'm really gonna miss MayoPan though. |
 |
| Wow we all just got PRANKED!! LMAO They really understand YOUTUBE CULTURE. NGL i was prepared to shed a tear for the sad ending. Yeah i would say this is a satisfying finale. I really enjoyed their chemistry and their shenanigans. 7/10 from me. I'm sure i am not the only one who put out their fist into the screen, PEWDIEPIE BRO FIST FOR ONE LAST TIME!! |
 |
| I knew Live was most likely going to be one of those hooded people. Didn't think it was a whole setup though. I really enjoyed this one. Directer did a fantastic job. Was cool seeing a video of him working on it. 8/10 for me. |
| Never thought the whole was a prank, well played |
| Yeah, that was great. Gonna be near the top of my favorite anime of the year. |
| "My name is John Locke, and I'm responsible for the well being of this Island" |
| Liked the show a lot, a low 8 high 7 for me. Would have liked to see the goal get accomplished and the blood sucking commence, but alas. Side note did anyone else hear the 4th survivor music from RE2 when Tokage was running? Not sure if parody or intended. |
 |
| It being all a setup for content makes more sense actually. Since if there really was a rule against disappearing and Live actually gone making an announcement like they did would have put her in danger. Hard to figure what I think of this show. Some eps felt boring some were real good. We never find out why Masaki even lost her temper that time before and she still gets physically violent against people she cares about so it is hard to entirely like her, i dont hate her but it's a lot of mixed feelings since she is a mixed bag kind of character. I guess it is expected to be overlooked from being a comedy but with all the serious moments in this and the plot revolving around it you would think there would be a small change. |

| Smart prank by the studio lol. Had higher expectation for PA Works but turned out to be a very average anime. |
| I knew things were a bit too fishy, but prank videos are the OG content. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| For a prank vid this whole running from Mother's henchemen bit was so DAMN ELABORATE, holy shit Lize Though we do see Masaki's arc of not being afraid of the camera anymore, she still cant really control her temper lmao. At least Lize can take it compared to puny humans |
| Ahaha, for all it to be a prank in the end? Welcome to YouTube, lol. Live-sama and Masachika-san did know each other after all, so that's what she was hinting at earlier in the episode, eh. Looks like the two from Masachika-san's previous channel were playing along on this one, would've wanted some serious revenge otherwise xD. Op acoustic version with the credits rolling was awesome to see, we need to see more of that in this industry! All in all, the imouto ep was my clear fav and I enjoyed seeing Yukirinko-san joining the MayoPan crew, her little catfight with Live-sama is hilarious. Had fun with this one, solid 7/10. |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| The huge prank at the end ahahah well that was very youtube-like I can't blame them, and it worked, also lol it turns out Masaki saved Live's life back then for making her drink her blood, it makes sense now, good ending for this anime it was pretty fun overall, just the concept of vampire doing youtube videos is enough to make it entertaining |
