Haganai NEXT......Finished, frankly I don't know what to say about this anime's last episode and it was quite a disappointing that it ended in a cliffhanger, ok, so no more beating around the bush, how do I rate this anime, well, here's how:

Story: Good 7.

Since this was the continuation of the previous season, it still follows the same plot but with a couple of revelations along the way. Except of course with the romance genre, things are starting to heat up as the members of the "Neighbor's Club" are now competing for the guy's affection be it directly or indirectly, which btw studio AIC Build has left us wondering as to what happens next, now that 2 new competition has arrive in the anime........ a little bit late that is.

Art: Good 7.

Ok, for the most part, there seems to have been some changes with the character's illustrations, ok so Yozura's hair is short given that she had it cut from the previous season. But, the changes I see has something to do with the uniforms, from the previous season the girls wore the a matching green skirt and green blazer, now they don a plait skirt and cardigans , well for the main cast the this. It would have been nice if this anime's illustrator be consistent, since the girls do go to St. Chronica Academy, instead of cardigans, maybe they should've wore the school's standard green blazer and it would have been nice for once to see Kobato in her compete middle school uniform, also, I don't dig as to why Yukimura now that she was confirmed to be girl would still be in a boy's uniform. The consolation here is that we get to see Rika in a whole new different form from a geeky girl to a hot babe and we also get to see Yozura's more hotter in plain clothes, only to change into wearing a track suit. But what make this anime's art good was the seemly part where the female cast are going commando.

Oh, I still hate the way how Kodaka was illustrated, pretty obvious that illustrator Shōichi Taguchi has no idea what a typical western delinquent would look like. Frankly, Kodaka looks more like a dork than a bad boy.

Sound: fair 6.

I simply like the opening theme, but for Kate's voice doesn't seem to match her character, since according to info she's 15, but her seiyu sounded like 20, in that case director Toru Kitahata should've cast her as a twenty something adult, instead of a teenager which make it difficult to understand why someone in her age is a nun.

Character and enjoyment: Good 7.

The characters still maintains their usual roles except that we don't get to see anymore of Sena do the usual Parting Shot Fit....you know where she would say "AHO, AHO, YOZURA, AHO, BAKA , BAKA WAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" and then she dashes out, you have to admit it was very funny, in fact episode 8, I've wish that Yozura would have done the same thing when she dashes out of the room and saying "AHO, AHO, SENA AHO, BAKA, BAKA, WAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!." Also, it was very funny that Yozura get her share of getting grilled and we see that Sena was getting the upper-hand and that's what makes it enjoyable.

Overall: Fair 6.

Thought for the most part, this anime did provide the laughs and the gags, though I would have like to give this anime a 7, was the fact that it has an open ending it left us audience hanged and wondering if there will be another season or does writer Yomi Hirasaka and Misaki Harukawa wants us to focus on the manga, either way it is up to us audience to wait and see.
