backdoornight said: Sigh - sad to see that people really are swallowing this pandering shit down: an inexplicable increase of more than 0.4 points in a single day. I guess horrible characters like Nayuta are everything that simple-minded weebs really need. And deserve. For clarification, this happens because of how MAL's grading system works, not because people liked the last episode. If people gave this show the 3 episode test, after episode 11 they had watched more than 25% of the series. Now they haven't watched more than 25% of the series so their scores aren't counted as much. Since the people who only watched 3 episodes probably dropped the show, they most likely gave it disproportionately low scores. This late rise happens for the last outing of every show that gets exactly 12 episodes. |

| Didn't felt like the final ep. Guess an OVA will be released to throw some more fan-service. That was a fun series, much more than Eromanga sensei for sure. It had its cliches but also some wildest, out of my fucking imagination moments and a solid bromance. Easy 7/10. |
| Not much of a conclusion, but I guess that's what we'll have to live with with an ongoing story. Still better than the horrible ending to the OP this time, at least. |
 |
| It was a pretty enjoyable one but there was a lot of annoying things too and the finale wasnt really a finale .. gonna give it a 5/10. might consider giving this a 6/10 if a second season comes in. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| This show was pretty good despite the raunchiness, which I'm not particularly a fan of. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| Does anyone know if the manga is still going I only saw two chapters of it but can't find anymore |
 |
| I honestly wasn't expecting this series to be so enjoyable. |
 |
| First, the transition to the opening was great. Now, I expected to like this show as much as I liked Eromanga-sensei and.......nope. But it was pretty enjoyable, except for some parts, like the creepy rapist guy who drops the pants of poor defenseless girls in the middle of the street. The board games were hilarious. xD I was going to say that Flashback girl is best girl until the rejection...MIYAKO BEST GIRL! And I am impressed on how people trashed Eromanga-sensei (a pure comedy) and not this (a more "serious" show) with situations like the street rapist or the mangaka in the underwear mask plus the boobs touching. |

| the flashback tells us why itsuki becomes a siscon LN writer. ayane rejected him cuz she just saw him as a little brother. i know that many great writers got their inspiration from personal failure. maybe yomi himself turned into this way for this kind of past? im quite sorry that their relationship ended in this way. but if not, itsuki would not be itsuki today. everyone meets so many passenger in his life. they dont need to, and they cant all be some heroines. ayane is just a passenger in itsuki's life, though she did gave him a big push onto the way of writer. its quite probable that she wont appear again in his life, and she dont need to. this is the most reasonable end to her story. that board game is interesting. yomi tells us some real stories in this industries through a game. and the end of that game is pretty much real. nayu (talented writer) in big publisher gets most money, but everyone keeps losing happiness through out the game. it teaches us a lesson about hobby: when hobby becomes job, you will soon lose all devotion and finally be tired of it. we as audiences can only see the fresh part of industry. this show somehow revealed a darker part of it. but ofc, it still put some false good faces. to identify which ones are real, u just need to do one thing. pick out all the "LN main character fantasy" moments, and the rest are real stories. the last part pretty much ends this season and solves many question. nayu (nake on the bed) brings out her real thoughts to itsuki, which is a response to itsuki's words (she a better writer than me) in episode 11: to me, u r the best writer. miyako used to be a girl with confusion to the future. but with her writer friends, she finally finds a way for her -- to be a novel editor. at last, itsuki once again claims his motive to become a writer, that he wants a sister but has none. after that, the camera immediately switches to hashima's bathroom with chihiro in it. it indicates an obvious crisis in the future: what would happen when the main protagonist finally knows that he has a sister? will he lose the passion of writing? a very entertaining episode. 5/5 ive been following this anime for a long time. before the animation adaption news, it had been at the highest level within all LN that hadnt get anime adaption. so when news from japan revealed that Oonuma Shin and silver link would take on the work, i was quite excited cuz they had given us some good shows. after all 12 episodes, i can say, i love this director more now. it has no intriguing adventure, just some slice-of-life monogatari for industry workers. many of them have some eccentricities. i think many users are frightened off and drop it with a low score. but i dont think its a big problem. we all have some eccentricities, and many famous or great persons even come to "problem" level. i have no peoblem with a naked novelist cuz i myself like nakeness in my house, especially in summer. this ending is quite like no ending, as if it will have another episode in the next week. but it has indicated some possible future for these protagonists, so it has the basic level of closing a show. i know that the original novel doesnt stop here, so its understandable that we have no feels for an end. in the latest volume, itsuki and nayuta finally establish a certain couple, and even now itsuki hasnt got to know that he indeed has a sister. the anime is far behind the pace of novel, so it makes no sense to critisize this. however this show gets no commercial success. the original novel series didnt get enough sales boost. the series sold 57920 volumes in october, 35676 in november and 22977 in december. as a comparison, eromanga-sensei sold 91636 volumes in may. (it sold more than 100000 volumes in april and june, but its partly because new books on sell in april and june) the blu-ray disc box 1 (01/26 on sell) is estimated to sell about 1000 copies or so, pretty much like a median level in this season. its almost certain that this show wont get a second season, so i think they should have given us an original end to finish this anime. but since Hirasaka Yomi, who himself occupies the series composition, choose to follow the original series, im ok with that. after all its an adaption, and many adaptions dont adapt a complete source. if u choose to watch this kind of anime, u need to accept it. in all, this is pretty much the most interesting and entertaining, possibly the best anime i watched this year. id like to give my thx to studio silver link and all staffs who make contributions to it. Hirasaka Yomi has yet again proven his ability to write interesting comedy, and weve seen why this series can sell up to 30000 for one volume even before animation. final verdict: 6.5/10 |

| Actually enjoyable at times (barring the boring parts) and a chill anime but could have been better. 5/10 |
 |
| Personally, it was a really good ending. The R rated humor, drinking, and life of a self-employed young adult kind of anime was unique and I have to say I loved it. It doesn't really "end" anything other than the anime, but a good 12th episode. Will probably buy the blu-ray. XD |
 |
| The issue really hit pretty close to my heart because i felt like up to this point in my life i have always been a side character. Maybe it's time for me to take charge and be the protagonist for once, inspiring. |

| Well... it's over... It was... alright I guess. I enjoyed it... kind of, like, I enjoyed the more serious moments more than the comedic part, the jokes just weren't that good to me, I need more than just a bunch of random sex jokes and nude jokes to enjoy something. I'm also not that big on fan service, so seeing a couple of girls naked all the time wasn't exactly something I was happy about. And this could hardly be considered a finale. I'm going with a 5 out of 10. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Well I'm glad this is over, the most overrated of this season This show is so forced from the beginning, everything about it feels forced, even the gags sometimes, also the title should just be board games related something And Shitsuki just made it to number 2 in my most hated characters of all time, second only to Shitbaru 4/10 |
| first part about Itsuki's past was heavy bit hard to watch, dam that heartbreak |
| This anime turned out better than I expected after first episode. No annoying drama, but still interesting character interactions, problems and some development. Every episode was fun and I liked all characters. While it was obvious nothing will be solved in 12 eps, I'm still pretty disappointed. Sure, Nayu knowing Itsuki's feelings is pretty much all I wanted, but now I want more :s |
| Underwelming finale especially if we dont get a second season |
| An okay final episode. First part was not so good because it's all about the bitter childhood past of Itsuki! The VA of that no good Red-Haired (Ayane Mitahora) girl is Mizuhashi Kaori. Ayane even cosplayed as Haruhi! wow! Because of all those harsh things that happened to Itsuki especially with that no-good red-haired girl Ayane, he became devoted to Imoutos! and eventually bacame an LN author! The execution of the OP in the middle of this episode was perfect! 2nd part was another board game and it was fun and amusing but LOL everyone got negative happiness points but at lease Itsuki wins LOLZ! Miyako decided that she wants to be an editor! 5/5. 7/10. hope there's S2 since Chihiro still got to tell the truth to her nii-san! Kantoku endcard was awesome! |
 |
| This ending confused me. Were they trying to introduce something new? The board game part was fun but it seemed unnecessary. |
| Was that it? The show is decent but it is disappointing that it doesnt have a conclusive ending. I was expecting more. I would have rated it 8/10 if it wasnt for that bland ending. 6/10-average at best. |
 |
| This was a great show, a LOT more adorable than I expected. I would love to see another season! 8/10 |
 |
| 7/10 the show was better than expected, I enjoyed it a lot. would be nice if we got another season (or even an ova) but I guess that's not likely. :( I would love to see more of Kani and Itsuki also, nice to see the score went up. this anime definitely didn't deserve the low score it got at first |
 |
| I started watching this series with low expectations and left feeling like a changed man, this series was so fucking good. The characters were great, the comedy was excellent, the pacing was perfect, there are so many good things I could say about this show! I've seen some of the illustrations from the light novel so I know some of the story ahead and I would absolutely love to see another season covering those events. Especially the relationship scenes between Itski and Nayu Completely blew expectations out of the water. 9/10 |

| I was ready to give this show a "pass" after the first part of the first episode, but it was "wtf" enough to make my sense of morbid curiosity see it through. I'm glad I did, because the show was a pretty decent slice-of-life, with some strange situations. I am disappointed that there wasn't really much resolution with the final episode, though. As others have said, it feels like it would be perfect for one last episode to really wrap things up. Although unlikely that would happen. I liked how Miyako decided to become an editor. She's the only character in the entire cast that seems to have any real development, or finality to the story. Itsuki never really confessed his love for Nayuta, although she basically heard him anyway while "sleeping". It also seems rather pointless for them to mention (barely mention, really) Chihiro being a girl, if they never actually address it. I dunno. Just seems like there were a number of hanging threads. That being said, it was a decent show, and was a relaxing slice of life, with interesting characters. Can't complain too much. |
| As a finale this episode left me.... disappointed. Was the expose in the first half really necessary? Wasn't there so much more they could have done (shóuld have done) with the time wasted on that game? I would have loved to see more of the dynamics between the characters, but it lacked terribly on that point. There'd better be a second season to this, if not, this ending is completely useless. And this after finishing watching S02 of Oregairu today...... |
| Seriously, that was the end? |
| The more inexperienced you are, the more you want to show off. |
| 8/10 Despite everything that happened I enjoyed the show. Nayu best gril |
| A bit late for a backstory, but I don't mind. That game was depressingly realistic. Even if his novel is just an replacement he decided to go with it. I like how Nayu confirmed, that Itsuki is already the best for her. Good final episode overall. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| Wow, the flashback part was really good, now we learnt where his trauma towards older sisters and obession with little sisters came out. Would be nice to see Ayane again sometime. Sadly can't say the same about kinda boring gaming part of the episode that could serve to better close-up instead but at least it served as developement for Miyako and confirmed Nayu x Itsuki (changed OP part was cool). Actually, the inclusion of the game part and no conclusion whatsover (cliffhanger rather) can mean only one thing - that they hope to make S2 some day. As his sister is still not revealed, it would be interesting to watch how he struggles with his writing when he learns he has one and loses all his inspiration. There is also the deal with his father and lack of proper developement of all side-characters. Season two, please, you are almost confirmed! May the sales be with you! 7/10 Actually pretty solid character-driven slice-of-life series. |
| Despite the infamous intro in the first episode and the title of the series, I thought this show was pretty decent. I liked Haganai so I'm not surprised that I enjoyed this as well. Now, when's the Nayu doujins? |
| A pleasant surprise. Hope there's another season |
| Lol I checked my fansub this week for the next episode, and found nothing. Didn't see this one was the last episode. |
| After all that things to be revealed after ep 11 they did that!!! What a bullshit! I hope there will be some extra ep or 2nd season to show us real ending, not just mid-series-like random episode |
| 10/10 I never laugh out loud every episodes on an anime before. Most of the time if it funny, I find it amusing but won't laugh. I marathon this whole series in 2 days unlike ya who waited each week for a ep. This is the anime to be watched episode by episode. Ya watching it wrong. I do hope for a 2nd Season. I want to know what's happened afterward. |
 |
| Trash. Complete trash. |
 |
| We got a background story on Itsuki, I guess he really wanted to be a protagonist that bad hey. But what I'm mostly interested in is Chihiro telling him she is actually her sister and I think Nayu was the first choice to her novel being adapted to a series ( I hope the reveal will be good). I see Miyako wants to be an editor what will become of this? I really enjoyed this series, but at first I had doubts but now I see its potential to become even greater. I loved the characters and the story had a fine flow, I would recommend it and will watch s2 if there is one in the future. 7/10 and hope for next one. |

| The flashback alone was better than the entire season. Well, the nude scenes were also good, too. I grew tired of waiting for the show to be about little sisters to be honest... I agree with the first review on this site about the show. A complete disappointment. Good voice acting, though. 4/10 |
| "Manga readers are annoying, all they do is complain or spoil the anime we discuss in an anime forum. They should really do their whining at manga forums." Stolen from Janethan23. Add in visual novel readers too |
| at least finished this series, nice closing episode, telling about some dark past about itsuki and how that become a strong reason for him to become novelist, and like usual slight intermezzo about fun board game, and of course the great news about anime adaptation of his novel I like some lewd and dirty jokes that presented in this series, beside of that, now i know how the novelist life is, although not 100% like in this series, overall was great, its really fun to watch and i hope there is season 2 for this series, i really want to see more of itsukixnayuta XD Great shows, 9/10 from me :D |
| Overall liked this series a lot but the last episode was a disappointment. I could have given this a 8/10 or even a 9/10 depending on the ending but now I'll have to drop it to 7/10. I got some great laughs from during the 11 episodes and it was fun to watch, it's a shame we got no ending or development whatsoever in the last episode. It's like an episode is missing from the end. Oh well, I enjoyed this show for most of the time quite a bit so I can't complain too much |
