Nice ending. Overall it was a pleasant and relaxing series though highly forgettable.

Good ending to the show. Although the manga ending had more impact, where Ayumi turns around and says "Are you in love?" Loved the art for the show too, I love the way the manga-ka draws characters and they translated over to the anime well. I'll give Hatsukoi Limited an 8/10.

Good end for a 12 episode series,
Fairly predictable, but in all honesty i thought Misao would be chosen to add a drama twist, Cute episode nonetheless on Kei and Kusuda's part though.

Very surprise by how good this is... I get this show as a "time wasting" anime. Wow...

7/10

thank god Kusuda is not another "Idiot that will never be loved" in most typical rom-com.

Overall, this was a good anime. Episodes 8 to the final episodes were particularly my favourites because the romances were paced evenly paced and more sincere.

Overall anime rating: 7/10

Still deciding whether it's a 9 or 8/10 for me. But I liked it a lot!
It had it's epic moments and meh moments. So I have to round it. LOL

My favorite couple was Kei and Kusuda. They're adorable. Yuuji and Misaki are very interesting too although they barely got any screentime together.

Will add Manga and the OVA/Specials to my PTW list :3

5/5 for this episode, specifically. It's a fantastic ending to this series, even if it's kinda cliche and predictable. :P

Shame that the muscular guy didn't get any development after episode 2 I think. I was really rooting for him.
You can say that again.

I watched through the whole show after the first episode gave the impression he and Ayumi were going to be the pair there, but then he just kind of became a joke (on the rare occasions he was mentioned) all the way to the last episodes.

I'm legitimately surprised she went the shallow and generic route. I'm not even sure why the character was included or why they pulled the "which brother will you choose?" thing when they never made it out like the girl as being indecisive so much as she was afraid or just not acknowledging his feelings to begin with.

Hopefully there's a show like that out there, at least.

Sogabe tripped and was like "go on without me", like in a bad action movie, Mamoru was stopped by Ayumi's voice and nice tackle from Kei. In the end Ayumi shot down Misao, but at least fair and honest. Seems like Koyoi is still a brocon.

Overall a nice conclusion.

Other than that, they nicely wrapped the ending.

Ah, healing... Perfect ending.

General assessment: Hatsukoi Limited is a unique mix of slice of life, comedy, ecchi, and romance illustrated with a sharply detailed—and generously financed—pastel aesthetic. A surprisingly charming watch.

The episode was a 5/5. Overall, about a 7.5/10.

Loved it.

very nice ending!

began thinking kusuda would be "that guy" in the series, u know the dumbass/perverted friend (something like sunohara in clannad) that was solely there for comedic purposes. he turned out to be the lead male character opposite what is now, one of my FAV true tsundere chars ever "KEI chan"

will definitely recommend this! for only 12 eps, this was very solid !!

9/10!!
I agree with you, 9/10 and I thought Kusuda would be an annoying perv but ended up being terrific with tsundere Kei.

I enjoyed this short anime a lot.

Re-watched: There was always something about these last two episodes that were really memorable to me. The road trip was like the perfect way to end this idealistically awkward teenage first love story, and it really resonates with my pathetic self. Paths of self discovery are their own kind of 'romance.' Might be my favorite episodes in any romance anime.

Sucks for both guys who actually liked Yamamoto.

I'm so glad I picked up this anime. it was awesome!
I loved the each story and each one of the characters (except for Ayumi and Koyoi).
My only complain is that I wanted to see a story for Yuu, but still it was vey good. I am definitely going to read the manga.

its a nice anime, but it would have been better off with less couples so you can give more development to the important couples and characters.

Things I would have changed or add less of:


nah remember Nagi no Asu kara they made us invest time in a couple then time skip and that couple is no more lol

Finished re-watching the series. The sunset beach scene is one of the most sweetest confession in all romance animes. Sad the series/manga has ended and the story was wrapped in perfection. From 9/10 to 10/10. Beautiful anime and soundtrack. Totally worth it!!

I hated all the girls in this show, all of them were assholes to the guys, even if they are in middle school. That is just bad writing as they were all one-dimensional at best.

I was annoyed the whole time... Don't know maybe this anime wasn't for me.

The first couple episodes were so promising but oh boy, this really went downhill in the end.

Finding the boys right in the perfect moment while confessing and obviously hearing everything was the dumbest thing ever. Directly followed by the big chase scene. And then the confession/confrontation with Enomoto was so unsatisfying as well. Everything wrapped up nice and tidy to a upbeat song.

I don't know why this is so low rated. It was a 9/10 for me. Can't really explain in words but this is what I crave in a Romance anime.

I wish there was some more story in the manga at least.

(Going to check out that rain scene now which everyone here is talking about)

4/10, adaptation followed very faithfully even if they cut some things, in general I liked the couples, but there is a serious problem between the core of Zaitsu and Yamamoto.

The anime gives you hope that the two will be together, but there is a sudden cut by Ayumi that destroys this relationship, it just doesn't make sense. Both are good childhood friends who trust each other (remember the scene where she goes to Zaitsu's room), Yuuji Arihara is a disposable character just like the brother and sister "couple", he is the worst part of the constructions.

The relationship between the brothers is not problematic, they just exist, but Arihara makes no sense, has no charisma and doesn't even attract attention except for his one well-directed scene, in the entire anime he doesn't show any will as a living being, otherwise he's terrible character.

Zaitsu and his older brother have good interactions, the biggest mistake is regarding Ayumi's character, the author developed it so that she could like Zaitsu's older brother and threw everything in the trash (I hate it when the author presents ideas and dismisses them in a short and blunt way this way) besides that Zaitsu Mamoru himself is poorly developed, he has a good scene with Ayumi and that's it, I expected more development from him since he had the chance to be a good co-protagonist (Ayumi is the protagonist).

Unfortunately, a project like this receives such importance from J.C. Staff, the few well-produced anime are so rare that they are impressive because they were made in this studio. (for those who ask if I saw the manga, read it and didn't notice many relevant differences, the rain scene is good, but using it solely and exclusively for such a bad couple, just terrible.

Hatsukoi Limited is a nice anime, with a nice light-comedic-atmosphere and some nice light-drama. Its not a masterpiece anime (lets not go there), but its enjoyable for what it is.

Hatsukoi Limited is a good romcom anime that takes its romance serious when it has to, and this anime is a very underrated romance anime (I guess we can somewhat call Hatsukoi Limited a "dramedy", like Toradora and Golden Time).

This anime does a good job in preventing you from getting bored due to all the charming characters and atmosphere and nice background musiic, and having many characters in a somewhat episodic nature.

All characters have good chemistry with each other, so thats a plus.

The best moment of this anime was when it dealt with the couple "kappa" guy and the rich tall blonde girl. The other moments in the anime were fine as well when it dealt with the other characters and their romance.

But I will say that I didnt like how the muscular "ugly" guy pretty much became a pointless comedy character after episode 2; I thought he was going to be the main focus character in the anime.

other than keeping it a bit ambigous on whomever between the Zaitsu brothers she picks eventually , the show animated the manga ending without deviation.Well based on the show 's theme about first love i can assume who's the lucky guy.I liked all the pairings and everyone of them had a different flavour.Only thing i would have prefered more would be bit more of Yamamoto and Arihara after they start their journey of friendship
