(SPOILER FREE!!!!!) Review for the whole series as well.

Love is a risk. What strengthens it is our commitment to risking it all, even if it means complete failure. While those in love may suffer, they stay true to themselves, not allowing others to stop them. That is what OreImo taught me.

It was a fun ride. With every possible way they could have messed up the ending, it went relatively well.

The Story [8] takes you on a trip through every girl for Kyousuke, tying up loose ends. Although it lacked suspense regarding the ultimate "decision," I can't say I wasn't happy with it. Closure ... is a rare occurrence in anime, since many cannot contain their stories in one season, and must have an open end, ultimately left to the highly competitive market to maintain them until the end. We made it. The story split the audience into factions cheering for even the most unlikely girls, if u can guess who they are, and still maintained a sequence of events that were plausible and enjoyable. While many of us didn't get the ending we wanted, the ending presented to us makes sense. There were a several details that were overlooked, but overall, good ending.

The Art [7] was enjoyable as always, maintaining the mood of the scenes. While not being the highest quality for this season of Anime (Chuunibyou being on the high end), it still held its own, bringing life to the story of Kyousuke Kousaka.

The Characters [8] gave everyone somebody to root for. Tsundere fans loved Kirino. Kuudere fans loved Kuroneko. Yandere fans got Ayase. Dandere fans liked Manami. Throw in Kanako, Saori, and the BL loving Sena, and nobody is left disappointed. Kyousuke himself was a good main character. He struggled in love, but stayed loyal to his feelings. I find his ultimate decision interesting, but to each his own.

I very much enjoyed this series. Although it didn't fully grab me emotionally, it kept a smile on my face.

To sum it all up, I have no regrets. Do not be deterred by the siscon theme when considering watching the show (yet I'm pretty sure almost everybody who reads this will have already seen most of the series. If u like drama, romance, harems, and a little fan service here and there, this is the show for you.

Final Score: [8]

P.S. really hard not to write with spoilers. Also my first review.
