ahneeme said: go and watch natsuiro kiseki instead of quoting memomosemomo said: i'm dead the bad reviews are literally just monogatari fans lmao isn't it the opposite? or did this stupid show melt your brain too? |
| I would've been dissapointed about this "ending", but the fact there's a movie coming out next year makes me think that it will give an appropiate closure to this great anime... AOTY contender? for sure AOTY winner? we'll see... overall 8,5/10 |

HunterGhoul said: Definitely my Aoty, from today my Thursday will no longer be expected. The movie is still very far away, can't wait yeaaah... good show, enjoyed it, Aoty, not even close, i love my monogatari/oregairu/haruhi hybrid, but come on, just episode 2 of yagate kimi ni naru was better than arc 3 and 4 toghether of this anime, still, the first ar, really fucking great, violet evergarden first episodes level oh well, time to wait for the movie |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| Definitely did not feel like an ending but that's for the movie. I heard that Shouko's arc ending really feels like an ending so can't wait for it! I also heard that Shouko's arc is arguably the most intense arc of the series. Oh come on, Mai! Not even a kiss on the cheek? (Though they did that in Episode 6) Please let them kiss in the movie! One of the biggest highlights of the episode, Sakuta's depression of Kaede's old self returning + new self disappearing and Sakuta/Mai's relationship (Though that one is for the whole series). I never thought I would be able to see Sakuta this depressed. Shouko-san came just in time too. She's really mysterious... Old Kaede seems more mature than Panda Kaede. I like this change. There's still a lot of anime that I haven't seen this year but this has the capability to be my AOTY. Definitely one of the best anime this year! My score of the series overall: 9/10. Can't the movie come any sooner? |
 Help, I'm hooked into the Fate series (not all) and am obsessed with Shirou x Saber! Also, forever hoping for a ufotable remake of the Fate route! |
| The light novels are still being published so an ending like this was to be expected. I enjoyed Kaede's arc and the rest were ok imo. I wish they had had the chance to reveal more about Sakuta's first love but I guess that'll have to wait. |
 |
| This ending sorta flopped to me... I still enjoyed the show a lot! I wonder if the original novel counties with more stories and “adventures”. The concept of the show allows for a continuation to happen really easily. I don’t think we’ll get more of the Anime series tho :/ For now I’m rating it 6/10 because the ending disappointed me but that will probably change in the future |

| Someone on first page said about Kokoro Connect vibes on this ending, and I must nodded on that. I feel like something still hanging on the end, but seeing about the movie they will released next year, I think I understand why, because Kokoroco also done that to give way for the OVA. What I can get from the final, Sakuta only got shock from Kaede's memory return in one day, the next day he just like himself, and yeah I'm sure Shouko's appearance also help him. Mai's jealousy is something I still confused. I mean, how many time Sakuta hang around with another girls, and only now she got jealous ? Excuse me ? Am I missing something ? And, for some reason, I love this Kaede more than Kaede from when she lost her true self. The ending scene is good, we got to know what happen with all 5 girls in the end. Mai-san still lovey dovey with our best man, Kaede try to read what other Kaede left on diary, Futaba got friendly with Kunimi, and Tomoe got friendly with Sakuta. Yeah, nice ending. It might be best anime for this season. But unfortunately, it can't be my personal Anime of the Year, Hinamatsuri already grab that place. Score: 9/10 Best Route: Koga Tomoe (Ooo... everbody must be mad to me after this. But tbh, Tomoe's arc is the one I can't easily forgot. Although she is annoying, but her confession in the end is unforgottable) Best girl: Futaba Rio (Yup, the helpful girl is the best girl. It's still sad that Kunimi didn't accept her, but that proved that Futaba chase the good man, although can't reach it) |
| great animay, great casts now I need to find a way to survive until the movie come out |
| really enjoyed the series. it's rare for me to watch anime and love every character, but that was definitely the case here. have to say though, this last episode left me feeling like there was still more to be said. kaede's arc was probably the most interesting for me and it felt inconclusive somehow. other than that i have no grievances. 9/10 |
| First and last arcs were both amazing, but they fucked up the pacing and the show really needed to be more than thirteen episodes. Last episode was so unsatisfying, and now the anime just feels incomplete. The sister that Sakuta built his new, stronger bond with is basically dead, and he gets over it in one night? And Mai, who failed to comfort Sakuta in his greatest time of need despite all he has done for her, gets over that too in a span of hours? It doesn't make any sense. Those are the most important parts of characterization, and yet they are glossed over in mere minutes at the end of episode thirteen. I get that a movie is coming out later, but it still felt like it ruined the mood. ... Aside from that, I really liked the show. Each arc was interesting, and Sakuta is a brilliant character and one of the best MCs I've ever seen. Certain things like how Kaede always referred to herself in third person and why Sakuta always tries to help people were given good explanations for existing even though they are normally ignored in other anime, which was nice. Overall, I think the saying "if you shoot for the moon, you'll at least land among the stars" applies here; though this show definitely failed to reach the moon, it did land among the stars. Glad I watched it. |
 What's the difference? |
| WOW !!! what an amazing and awe-inspiring experience this anime was!!! Mai-san definitely a strong contender for waifu of the year. My Final Score: 3/10 |
Tbear51 said: I wanted to watch more as soon as the episode ended. Then I wanted to watch a panda documentary.Man that part with Kaede almost had me balling my eyes out. Great episode, I can't wait for the movie next year. |
| Great ending to an excellent show, albeit the episode not feeling much like a finale of sorts and hence not fulfilling as I wished it’d be! Kaede’s arc was undoubtedly the most emotional of all the arcs and it’s no surprise seeing how Sakuta broke down twice early on into the episode. Sakuta’s really been through a lot and he’s done a remarkable job at hiding his worrisome feelings from Kaede and giving her his all. Shoko appearing again in the nick of time was perplexing but it makes sense after Futaba’s comment where she said something along the lines of Shoko appearing only in front of him and so could potentially be a making of his Rascal(xD) delusional self. Futaba's been right on the mark numerous times so I’m totally convinced and I’ll be looking forward to seeing more of this in the upcoming sequel movie. Shoko appearing however had an adverse effect on his relationship with Mai and that pummelled Sakuta on the ground. Koga reappearing during that scene was funny and a nice touch, always down for more of these intriguing characters after all. Nodako’s role was much more significant obviously though and it was nice to see the old and reckless Sakuta back in action. Too bad he wasn’t rewarded with a kiss during their touching reunion though. I was sure Mai was determined to do it so it really was a big let-down yet again! Moving on, the final few moments of the show were equally amazing! Kaede-san reading through Kaede’s dairy and blushing was hilarious to see and the following scene where she quickly hit the diary from him was equally funny. She’s determined to go to school now and it’s really nice to see that she’s learnt from Kaede’s struggles and hardships and finally to open up more to her brother like that final scene. Meanwhile, it looks like Sakuta, Kunimi and Futaba are still besties and that was very heartwarming to see. Last but not least, finally Sakuta introduces Mai to his father and Kaede-san and Kaede-san’s bow there suggest that she’s aware of her popularity, lol she’s most likely to respect her brother more than ever now! Overall, the scene felt a little short but a nice addition nevertheless! All in all, a very eventful and entertaining episode but not really much of a finale as it feels as the show ended on a somewhat random note and there’s still so much left to tell. As for the whole show in general, - Storyline/Plot Development: 8/10 As the show went on, the personal enjoyment factor steadily decreased and things started to feel a little quick every now and then. Nothing too extravagant of a story either but the presentation and directing of the show was really splendid. Many social problems were dealt with exceedingly well in this show and this really felt like an interesting and sad take on social commentary of sorts. On another note though, I think the writer really needs to rethink about the title of this show, for one thing many people would be ticked off by it and it doesn’t really focus much on the Bunny side anyway(we’ve only seen it like 3 times throughout the show). - Characterization/Character Development: 8/10 Characters of the show all had their respective redeeming qualities but no one really stood out individually or so to say. Much of the dialogues were ridiculous and impactful but a few felt like they were unnecessarily thrown into loops of sophistry and such instead of just simple words to make more sense. All in all, however, the Characters and their interactions, in particular, made this a really entertaining and enticing watch! - Art/Animation Scale: 7/10 It’s been good but nothing too groundbreaking for it to steal the spotlight every now and then. Somewhere along the middle course, the animation quality dipped but it’s nice to see it end on a good note. - Sound Department: 7/10 Once again, it’s been good but nothing too groundbreaking. Op and ED were nice to listen to at the start and ending of an episode but it was very forgetful other than that. Not many memorable soundtracks either, but a few that played along were a good company. Voice acting were really good though as really managed to capture and portray the emotions of the characters well. - Personal Enjoyment: 9/10 Like I said earlier, the Personal Enjoyment factor steadily decreased as the show progressed because of the increase in pacing. I reckon the show could’ve done a lot better of a job had it been a 15-16 episode show and a short 2-cour show, such as 22 episodes. With all that said though, I was still more than satisfied with the usual character interactions though. -> Overall Final Score: Solid 8.5/10. Really looking forward to the movie now! Shoko’s arc is going to be very interesting for sure so can’t wait to see how that goes! |

| Not sure why I don't share everyone's appreciation for Mai. Idk. She kinda seems like a trash character to me. Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that she's attractive as a character, but horrible as Sakuta's gf. Sakuta had helped her through her struggles thoughout the series, but when he was feeling overwhelmed, she wasn't there. There was no helping that perhaps, she was at work and duty calls, but she still had the nerve to get upset at him that she wasn't there for him. Tf?! The dude had to face the problem with Kaede that he was dealing with for years and when he overcomes it she dumps a new problem for him to deal with. One that was caused by her own choices, not his. I guess what I'm miffed at is basically : she wasn't there for him when he needed it (despite him doing so for her) and she gets to be upset at him about it?! Idk, I can't seem to appreciate this character as much as the crowd does. What is so appealing about this annoying tsundere? |
| I'm thinking Kaede might have some of her amnesia memories back because she read her diary. She also says that she is not alone anymore. I'm hoping that's the case. And like Futaba said, Shouko might not be a real person. She seems to only appear when Sakuta is having a hard time. Puberty Syndrome might be this thing that tries to fix problems but has some sort of consequence that comes with it. Like how Shouko only appears after Sakuta stresses over Kaede's memories coming back and injures himself. |

| I cried the whole first part shit I already miss Kaede T#T especially after reading the notes. Loved the ending they did wrapped it up pretty well with a good pace, I'm looking forward for the movie. |
| My final feelings for this anime? UGH!! First of all, I liked the whole Supernatural stuff and how the MC has to get involved and how each case had a unique resolution...that by far was the strength of this anime and what made it interesting. HOWEVER.... The teenage overly melodramatic nonsense is simply too much for me at times, and this anime really pushed that limit for me. I know people LOVE that shit, but not me...and STOP comparing this to Monogatari. Monogatari is a masterpiece...the dialogue between Araragi and Hitagi are NEVER as boring and overly cliche as the shit that I saw with MC and Mai. This is nothing more than yet another teenage drama, which had some interesting elements but ultimately fell into soooo many cliches and overplayed romance. I don’t think it was that great. |
| I don't get it why some always compares anime with the old ones and give them a low score LOL. I really liked this series and looking forward for the movie. I love watching series with male MC character being straightforward with his romance not being some shy and undecided dude. |
| This episode was...in a lot of places. Kaede reverts to two years ago, Sakuta has a mental breakdown, Shoko is Sakuta's imaginary friend that appears when Sakuta is at his weakest, Mai tries to comfort Sakuta and then Sakuta chases her down to say Happy Birthday, and finally we return to Kaede that concludes her arc of forgetting who she was and starting over again. Honestly Kaede should have gotten some more focus here. The pacing was just weird this episode. Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai aka Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai...Kind of weird to call it bunny girl since the bunny suit appears in like 3 episodes then becomes irrelevant. The interaction between characters is the series' most prominent aspect. Sakuta was a good MC though a bit too perfect until the final arc. The art was a bit iffy in some places but for the most part isn't a bother. The arcs with the different characters were good overall although some of the arcs felt a bit unbalanced with the pacing. I personally think Futaba's arc was the best. The conclusion to the series was ok I guess. Pretty fun. Could have ended better. Final Verdict: Usagimonogatari/10 |
 |
| Solid ending, even if a bit unexpected. I was sure we will get a "complete" Kaede in the end. Nonetheless it felt fittign and a bit bittersweet - for Sakuta it all started with her and after all those girls he made a full circle. Can't wait for movie. |
| show was interesting, considering theres been shit anime the past few seasons, this was a suprising one for me. Interesting plot, interesting characters, scar thing never really explained well, or who the fuck shocko was or is. Overall good, wouldnt mind a new season or that movie coming up |
 |
| Unfortunately my high expectations about that show were disappointed. The 1st arc was very good but it could end better. |
   |
| what the fuck 8.67 really??? i give it 7/10. |
