| Wait what...that's it? XD! Did SB not sell well? Ahhh I want a second season >__< |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| WTF kind of ending was that?! The entire episode was going normally as if the show was going to continue, then it's as if during the last 2 mins they suddenly realized "fuck! this is the last episode!" and sloppily tried to wrap everything up with that montage. Yet another anime with a "read the manga" ending. |
| It's over and I want more! =/ Really, how come there is no more seasons of it?! The manga it's on chapter 215 and it seems the sales are good. Kyoko was so funny all the time I loved her inner demons! lol I didn't read the manga but for the images I have seen it got pretty interesting, makes me sad to see that there's so many animes that are not so good like this one that have many seasons and we only had 25 episodes of SB.... 8/10 |
 |
| NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! EXTRA OPEN ENDING!! Such a big dicktease, one of the biggest I've felt in a long time... Fuuuuuuck me. Welp, because of that last episode, that's how I thought it would end. But I still had so much hope, it just crush my heart :'( At least, Ren seem to have made a few realisations. BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH!! I WANTED A CONFESSION AND/OR A KISS!! Ugh, why can't I watch romance that get a damn conclusion? Now, I'll have to read a manga and wait every 1/2/4 week(s) to know the following. With Fall season starting plus the college, it's just too much to think about... |

| I rewatched the entire anime today and I still can't believe that this masterpiece hasn't got a second season yet. I watched the anime for the first time when it was actually airing. At the end I always thought: I will wait for the next season before starting with the manga. IT HAS BEEN TO DAMN LONG PEOPLE. I had to actually rewatch everything so that I can start with the manga at volume 11. PLEASE. DO. MAKE. A. SECOND. SEASON. ONEGAI SHIMASU. |

| Does anyone know from Manga or whaever, how will the relationships develop, since the Shoutarou clearla had feelings for her, but anime didint offer a solid conclusion. |

Trust me, the manga is SO FREAKEN GOOD. Even better than the anime. There is definitely more character development and the relationships deepen. It's also even more hilarious than the anime. You should DEFINITELY read the manga. It's one of the best shojos ever. #1 recommendation guaranteed. |

| It was going very well and they had to end it. Hoping for a second season. As much as I hated the art style, the story was spectacular at points. 7/10. |

yoite- said: One of the crappiest ending ever! Ya i'll side with this. It's so painfully obvious there is more story but they needed to put a cap on it. This may be an instance where I'm forced to read the manga because what the shit. I'm just now watching this and it's been years. 2nd season is not going to happen. 8/10 however |
| Ughh....SO CLOSE!!! Turn around Tsuruga, go back to heeer! Even my heart started to skip beats waiting for that confession moment, I feel so let down. Well on the bright side, Tsuruga and Kyouko and have realized their feelings for each other and, even if they didn't become a couple, it's only a matter of time. I would still love a second season, but looking at the time gap it seems nigh unlikely. I'd been meaning to watch this for a while, admittedly this turned out to be one of those "Why didn't I watch sooner?" series. Kyouko was pure hilarity and it was a pleasure to watch both her antics as well as her growth. Even despite the ending leaving far more to be desired, she came a long way and it demonstrates how she was able to finally escape Sho's shadow to live for herself. I like the romance but my favorite moments had to be when she was getting along with Moko. The acting aspect of the show really resonated with me the most. As an aspiring actor myself, there were many moments in which I could relate to Kyouko such as trying to understand a character better or concerns with show business. Most of all, I really like how she described acting as an opportunity for her to learn more about who she is. To discover the true Kyouko. In some respects, it makes me appreciate the art even more. And speaking of acting, I finally picked this up because I wanted more of Inoue Marina. I really like how she handled Kyouko, there was definitely versatility between her kind, gentle side and the wrathful, vengeful devil within. 8/10 |
 |
| Hey yo fuck that ending. Also what chapter in the manga does this continue? 7/10 |
| Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit. |
| JFC, where is season 2?!?!?! I'm gonna read the manga.....starting....NOW! 8/10 rating from me. Would have given a 10/10 for a better ending. When I say better ending, I don't mean romance. I mean closure on Kyoko and Sho and closure on how Dark Moon the movie ended up. I was really hoping Kyoko and Ren would end up together, but that's not the ~entire~ reason I dropped it a whole two points. I watched this in two days, unable to stop. So honestly, the ending was a bit disappointing for me. Hopefully the manga will make me think otherwise~ <3 |
| That was such a bad way to end it! I'd have given it a 10/10 if that weren't the case! 〴⋋_⋌〵 |
| Nooooo. How is this ending possible without a season 2 :S. |

| I really like Skip Beat. It manages to be both fun and smart, showing off its characters ini a multitude of situations, always retaining its comedic, high energy atmosphere while still acknowledging unspoken implications of its characters' thoughts and actions. I think this is best portrayed in Kyoko's character, who exists as an interesting set piece within the show's framework. At base, she's a stubborn, hotheaded, spiteful, yet generally upbeat, kind, and hardworking despite being easily provoked into a fight. A straight forward character in terms of leads, but done unusually well due to the energy she brings to each scene. This is then amazingly twisted up when it comes to her acting, which bring forth a new variety of personalities she can portray. Through the course of the series, she has played a traditional Japanese woman of nobility, a frolicking-in-the-fields happy school girl, a condenscending-yet-caring older sister, a buttmonkey mascot, a remorseful murderer-turned villain, and now the character of Mio, whose prideful aura could give certain inflated egos a run for their money. You also now have the character of Ren, who is struggling to even approach Kyoko at this point. One significant observation he made was how he realized he faked his emotions throughout his life. In the context of Skip Beat, it makes me want to go back and rewatch his scenes to see which parts he was being genuine or fake. I've seen the type of characters whom is dishonest to themselves with regards to their emotions, but seeing one that's aware of this trait is quite refreshing. On top of all this, I've greatly enjoyed watching the character play their roles, then take their acting skills and use them in real life, intentional or otherwise. It's then even more fun to imagine their seiyuu trying to act as characters acting as other characters. Or, at times, act as characters acting as another character while unintentionally channeling another personality altogether. Acting and theatrics seem to easily blend lines of fiction together, and it's always fascinating to pick apart such works to see how they work. But, alas, it's now over with no continuation in sight. I'm disappointed to not be able to see Ren in action after he just started to figure himself out, but I suppose that's a good in thing in a way. I really do want to continue watching Skip Beat, as I watched each episode earnestly wanting to know more about the characters. That's probably the best compliment I could give this show. I really want to see more of it. |
| The ending is indeed disappointing, because this was prolly the worst possible point to end the show. There is literally no closure to any new development, instead they open new doors and telling you to read the source material if you want more. I still love it, even though I hate when there is no satisfying end. 9/10 |
| This show, this show is so dang good! I wished it had a second season back when I first watched it, and I still wish that a sequel will come eventually, especially considering that that scene did happen not too long from where the anime ended. Shippers would have gone crazy if the anime did get to that part. Time to catch up with the manga! |

| Kyouko in Bo costume is the best Kyouko "WHY?" "AMIGO" xD Not to mention she's pretty dense I was expecting a better ending and not leaving me hanging with unsolved problem :( Shame there's no 2nd season Well, time to read the manga |
"Signature removed"   |
| The end ruined it all or it wouldve been a 9 even 10 perhaps (first shoujo i considered rating s 10) Gahh :/ guess the manga continues ? Maybe i just buy the mangas... I mean we all saw where it was heading so was at least hoping to see the play and a romantic end :( 8/10 |
 |
| Noooooo! I didn't want it to end! I wanted to watch Kyouko grow more as an actress and upstage her rivals. She's such an amazing and powerful character - all her acting scenes were so intense, she thinks with her own head and always finds a way. Waaah, I'm definitely reading the manga and I hope we get a remake series or something one day. |

| aaaaand another one ends without an ending. i'm starting to get fed up with adaptations that exist only to sell manga/light novels |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
| I NEED MORE. The beginning of this thread started TEN YEARS AGO! and yet there still hasn't been a season two?! Guess i'll read the manga. |
| THAT'S HOW IT ENDS? Literally when things are just starting to get good. I feel so sorry for anime only fans. I've read the manga but never watched the adaptation until now. Oh my god I didn't even realize it's been 12 years, this beauty deserves more. Binging it is so much more emotionally fulfilling than reading it monthly, I came here bc I'm preparing for a reread and wondered how bringing these characters to life looked. It was so much fun and I fell in love with them all over again! I'm surprised by the English dub, it was magnificent, everyone completely nailed their character. Maybe it's an impossible dream, but I'll keep hoping SB gets the reboot treatment. |
| AHHHHHH I'm sad that this won't get a season 2 since Hal Film Maker went out of business.... ;-; |
 |
| WHAT?! I NEED MORE! |
    |
| Idk how many times already i rewatched this anime & i still need more TT.....skip beat is the only anime that i've never get bored watching it over & over, i really hope someday they will continues/remaking/reboot it, this show deserve more ep :"(( |
 |
| Holy shit the anime didn't fully adapt Dark Moon arc. What a cliffhanger... |
