| Sadly eating that wrapper resulted Hase getting stomach cancer. For years he had to shit in a bag but he lived with that because of Kaori. But after spending evening listening about Kaori crying how she was coarced to sex by some frat boy....Hase simply just slit his own throat that night. So yeah. Don't eat crep's and don't get friendzoned. 5/10 |
| nothing too special about this ending. 6/10 |

| So like no one gives a shit abt the fact that Hase had a crush on her ? And that he is still a freaking "friend" , even after the whole series !? I wud rather see them dating....... A happy ending ? Maybe :/ A satisfying ending ? NOT IN A MILLION YEARS -,- |

| Can't be bothered anymore |
| Because of that ending i'm salty as hell. Everything is perfect but that ending. |

| Disliked the main character, liked the relationship, but wished it developed further... maybe a confession. Stayed for kiryu, shougo, as he is the only cool character that made me laugh throughout the whole series 7/10 meh. |

| Damn, what a sweet and heartwarming series this show was overall. To be frankly honest, however, it felt as though the ending was not wholly satisfying but it was a great one nonetheless. It kind of just irks me that Hase and Kaori have feelings for each other but just can't seem to find the right time to express it, even though the last episode provided countless chances for it. On the other hand, more Shougo x Saki would be very much appreciatable but then again there's another inconclusive ending to their progression. Well, I at least cried, smiled and was frustrated over the course of watching the series and for that I will give this show a solid and well-deserved 8.5/10. Romance is my favorite genre and I'm well aware of the fact that this series is not labeled as a Romance anime, but my biase slightly hinders this show down to 8.5 rather than a solid 9. |

| i started this back in 2014 can't even remember why i didn't finish it till now anyway it's a pretty relaxing experience nothing too serious... |
| Good anime, love ED song. |
| It's finally ended. Enjoyable series throughout. That was a great episode. Loved that they made up, and surprised that they could give such a definite and satisfying conclusion with the limited runtime they had. The eating crepes together was really nice since it was what was supposed to be their first outing together, which they couldn't do. But now we're ending the series with them eating those crepes that they tried so very hard to eat several times. It feels like we've run quite a course. That scene at the shrine took me by surprise. Hase fully realised what an idiot he had been, trying to not make Kaori cry ever again but by doing what he did he did make Kaori cry. Really glad they made up. Also, hilarious to see the mom coming and saying that if Kaori's father knew they were together there he'd call an ambulance lol. Also if Kaori did not go home, his father was going to call the police. Seems like Kaori's father really loves his daughter but may be a little too overprotective. Overally, really enjoyed this series. Almost lost interest midway, but it really picked up in the second half. The best words to describe the vibe this series gives is "cute" and "heartwarming", and at times "cheesy", but for some reason I don't think that's a bad thing in this series. I like enjoying the cheesy parts of Isshuukan Friends. Impressed at the execution. It's not great or a masterpiece of any sort, but it was consistent throughout and nothing felt like filler. It stayed focused on the story and the development of the characters from beginning to end and managed to really wrap the series up in a nice way that isn't cliffhanging or unsatisfying. Really satisfied with this anime. Though the last ending scene wasn't really impactful for Kujo's part because his story isn't resolved and there wasn't that much development considering how late into the series he came in. Also liked how Shougo and Saki were goofing around together, definitely ship them! It's been 5 years since this aired, so I guess a second season isn't coming anytime soon. Time to pick up the manga seeing how it's finished. Don't know whether to give this a 7 or an 8 yet. But it was good and enjoyable. Liked it. |

| Not THE BEST type of ending, but a very good one nonetheless. Some might argue that MC is "running in circles of friendzone", and seeing the reviews before seeing an anime, i expected it to be just that - an unfulfilling and pretty "pointless" journey that leads nowhere, but boy was i mislead. I don't know how someone who has actually seen the anime to the end, can say that a relationship of the two never makes progress, or further development is impossible! That's bullshit. Slowly, but steadily, the progress IS MADE, and such POV is made more adamant in the bonus last chapter of manga where the two pretty much confess to each other and decide to be together even after graduating. One thing i was made sure of is how useless and misleading the reviews on MAL can be. 8.5-9/10. Could have been 10/10 if the show didn't have a big number of convenient coincidences and dense moments. |

| I completed the anime 10 months ago on May 2019, while the anime was completed 7 months before the manga was finished. ... On first impression the voices of Yuuki, Kaori and Shougo aren't what I imagined. Kaori is the first that feels the most natural from what I imagined near the end of the manga, Yuuki decently fits the personality of his manga counterpart but Shougo's voice is too deep. Saki somewhat has the tone I was imagining but I didn't expect her voice to be that high and cute. The animation is great in keeping the original character design, while the cinematography and music beautifully captures the moments correctly. ... I don't remember the manga fully but I think the anime may have left out some scenes out. Maybe some dialogue as well but worse of all is the anime's ending is left as a cliff hanger, while the true ending, her weekly amnesia gets cured. Terrible ending that I think was done to not spoil the manga's ending. ... But. I still love it for what it is. Seeing the manga come alive was nice even if the true ending wasn't adapted. |
| Overall, it was a nice anime.. I'd lie, if I'd say that I'd personally enjoy some of the life that was shown.. But it was a story about characters, with their feelings and thoughts.. I can see some of these things.. But also I don't feel like going deeper in some things, and rather taking like Saki's laidback position.. Like, I can recognize some hesitances I had or stuff, in some of my relationships.. And wishing to protect the person.. But also at the end of the day, I personally still would choose to live, how I live now, to be honest.. I think that being in closer stable relationship is too taxing and not interesting for me personally.. Even if I do find that sometimes I'd rather person grow, for example, like how Kiryuu wished for Saki, when she didn't really need that.. I still will hold my opinion that I rather stay not close, but wishing for best for person, and won't be with person, if I think it makes him worse.. Anyway.. I liked Saki the most from characters, probably.. Kaori is nice as well, though maybe she feels a bit too perfect even, lol.. Not like it makes her worse, not at all.. Just that I don't know how good I'd get with the nice person like that.. I still like her as a character, really, just that I feel that she is a bit too good for me, really.. Like, I wouldn't be able to be in relationship like this, probably would get spoiled easily, or would worry too much, or something else, lol.. Even in imperfections she seems like a perfect person, to be honest.. Kaori is kind, caring, adorable.. And even when she makes mistakes - only just of not realization.. Like of complicated feelings Hase had.. I like Kaori as a person a lot, really.. Just that I also feel uneasy about her.. But she's great person, really.. But returning.. I think anime was close to real sometimes, with how slice of life was.. Or how drama was.. I totally can see this.. The most I liked Saki and Kaori.. But guys were interesting at times as well, really.. |
| Episode 12 "I'd Like for Us to be Friends" It's so Glad Seeing Developments between Saki and Kiryuu And I think Hase should get a punch in the guts so he'll wake up like bro doesn't he want to be friends with Fujimiya but I'm so happy he Realized his Foolishness lol Aside From that, Overall This was a good Anime I wouldn't say It's one of my top Anime but this story is about their passionate thoughts and Friendships and if I were to pick my favorite character ofc it'll be Kiryuu I mean he's always there with him, Supports him and aid him when he has some problems and he knows when to deal with Situations that doesn't need him to meddle and regarding that situation when Hase thinks he would hurt Fujimiya like what Hajime did, he shouldn't have think like that like what are the chances for her to be hurt like that again...still this was a fun ride |

| I hope Yuki and Kaori will be best friends forever. What a heartwarming anime, loved it. |
| Well, it's a satisfying conclusion after what happened. Of course i want more romance between the two leads, but I'm happy with what i got. I'm glad that at least it's an open ending. 8/10 . I really like the vibe of this anime, the OP and ED songs are great too. Saki and Kiryuu pair is also unique, at least for me. Never seen characters with their tropes being paired before |

| When I watched this 9 years ago when it aired, I used to jokingly call it "One-Week Friendzone" but I had fond memories and gave this an 8/10. Re-watching it all again today I realised I was being too generous with my score and updated it to a 6/10. I don't know if it's because my standards are higher nowadays but it's more clear to me now that the romance element was basically non-existent, and the slice of life moments are easily forgettable - there isn't much to enjoy about this short series. I pretty much echo the thoughts of the mixed review on the front page here and I wonder what I had made me enjoy this anime so much in the first place. Well just like Kaori, I'll soon be forgetting this anime too, not because of any poorly explained mental condition with no sign of resolution, but just simply because this was an average anime. Sora Amamiya is still a great voice actor and I enjoyed her performance as a female lead and also for the ending theme. |

| One-Week Friends started off strong, engaging, and captivating. It was a very sweet-chilled anime. It had everything going on in the first four episodes of the anime, with the sweetness of the female MC, and the male MC trying to progress with her, and the best friend of the male MC being involved with his chilled-nature, and the light drama. But sadly, this anime lost its spark after episode 4. I also really hated how there was no romance progress between the two MC's. Cant even consider this anime a romance. One Week Friends is enjoyed because of what you think is gonna happen next, theory crafting, how you think the romance will progress. But after episode 4, you see that the story is dull and nothing romantically will develop, so the anime just becomes dull to watch. Again, an anime that started strong, but then became simply meh till the end. With all that said, unreal to believe that there was never a season 2, 10 years since this season 01 ended. |
