Considering this came out around the time I got heavily invested into Fate/Grand Order, an anime about a JP gacha game was very fitting. Doesn’t exactly make it a good anime though. I was never that big of a fan of referential humor. If you play gacha games, you’ll understand most of the references and jokes. Whether or not you’ll find that funny is another thing. I understood the references, but it was ultimately something I’d just say “Yeah, I get that” and move on without giving it any extra thought. There were probably about 2-3 episodes that I truly found myself enjoying. Most of the humor didn’t hit for me and the episodes that weren’t anime/gacha references were absolutely boring to sit through. The main cast were all completely forgettable outside of Choco. She’s the type of character who basically knows she’s in an anime based off of a mobile game, so her 4th wall breaking meta humor was enjoyable. The other 3 really don’t bring anything to the anime at all. However, Last Period makes up for it by having AMAZING side characters. Particularly the group called Wiseman. They serve as the main group’s rivals/antagonists, but they bring so much life and enjoyment to an otherwise below average anime. They were over the top, ridiculous, had great character designs, personalities, and were just fun to see. Hell, even the ED of the anime was their very own theme song sung by the three members of Wiseman. They made the anime worth continuing each week just to see their antics. Ultimately, they can only improve the anime so much. It’s still an average anime that really isn’t worth sitting through unless you’re a diehard gacha fan. You’re not missing out on much.
