Lol, the groovy dance moves..

I think this episode had too much fun with itself even with the sports comp going on. Naho and Kanade got some decent moments though.

Well uh...huh. Interesting decision to waste half the finale on a daydream but...sure, why not? XD This show was...moronic, idiotic, stupid, dumb, any of these descriptions work. Was the target audience 8 year olds? Very juvenile humor for the most part. I'm not inherently against juvenile behavior in a comedy either, and the premise certainly allowed for some, but boy did it get old quick. Kaho's mini rant this episode summed things up fairly well. What little comedy did work usually involved parodying some other series or a character going over the top crazy like Mafuyu or Kaho's brother. This left no lasting impact and will be quickly forgotten. Best thing I can say about it is it didn't legit anger me as one or two other shows did, but definitely bottom 5 of the season material. 5/10

I... What even?.. I don't even.... I can't even.... Roller Skates.... Shining Light.... High School.... What?.. Why?..Idol?.. Kiss?..
Yeah I knew it was a dream. Still that was completely out of place.

Kaho snapped XD That was kinda funny.

Overall, I can clearly say I didn't really like any of the drama/romance elements in the show. I found them very annoying and thereby detrimental to my enjoyment of the show. All of the drama was brought about because of stupid reasons like the whole Sadako thing in this episode. Couldn't really take any of the characters seriously and many came off as annoying too. I however did like the comedy to an extent, The kiddish humor and weiner jokes along with the antics of the gang was often amusing to watch but at the same time some of the humor felt a little forced and hence fell flat.
5/10 from me, The show will probably finish last on my rankings for the season unless Taboo Tattoo can pull out an even bigger fiasco.

I actually think the setting from Kaho's dream might have made a decent setting for the show than what we got.

I... I have nothing to say. What a weird show, but it just wasn't...

Ugh.

I'm just glad this is over with. It wasn't fun for me to watch, and I usually enjoy widget series. The childish humor I don't think worked even though I can like it when done right and with good characters who actually act their age, but they drove it into the ground fast that I got sick and tired of toilet humor. And that's not getting into the weird imagine spots throughout the show, if that's what those actually were. If this really and truly is a parody, I didn't think it was a good one.

Also those fucking eyes. Why were they so bad???

There are good widget comedies out there. This isn't one of them.

It rarely made me laugh, the character were annoying, and the drama felt superfluous and dumb. Once you get past the awkward premise, you just have a big pile of nothing with nothing much going for it. Reminds me a lot of Kanokon in a way.

oh god it's kuma miko all over again not really but it feels the same to me anyway. how the f#$k did this even happen? The first half was pointless and the second half was more pointless. This anime went south real quick but holy sh#t This episode pretty much summarizes what's wrong with this anime.

I'll be honest I actually enjoyed this anime up to a certain point/episode and just like kuma miko after that specific point/episode in started to become less and less enjoyable and more rage inducing. and just like kuma miko I truly hope this doesn't get another season unless they decide to do a time skip and even then I"ll most likely wait until it's almost over before I watch it.

This is probably the funniest anime of the season. The first half of the episode was like WTF happened to that cliffhanger, then hilarious Kaho rant where she finally showed some personality and then 'unko' and 'chinko' until the end. I'm positively surprised they ended it with such anti romance twist. Poor Kaho XD

It's finally over. Though, this last episode was actually pretty enjoyable for me. I really enjoyed the dream segment of the episode honestly. All the characters suddenly becoming much more likable was great. I also liked the roller skating. And Kaho's rant was awesome! I just wish Kanade had tried to defend himself.

As a whole, this show was terrible. Forced drama and potty humor simply can't carry a series. I remember back when I first started this. I originally didn't want to watch it after reading the synopsis because I could tell the romance probably wasn't going to be very good. But after reading something someone said about it being a good show for lovers of rom-coms to watch, I finally decided I might as well watch it. Plus, Deen was animating it, so if it was actually good, it would've been able to support my claim that Deen is saving anime. But.... as we all know, it turned out bad.

As for my rating, I'm going to be a sheep and give it a 5. I've seen worse anime, so despite its bad comedy, romance, and drama it had a few funny parts that revolved around parodying other series and such so I have to say it's at least decent. I bet I'll be giving Taboo Tattoo a lower rating anyway. Regardless, this was one of the worst shows of the season.

The fact that I considered giving this show a higher score than Steins;Gate (I settled on an equal 6) feels, much like the show itself, both very wrong and very right.

This is why I wish I could score shows on a range, rather than a single overall point. For me this show was never a chore to watch and made me smile every week, so it would have a comfortable 5-7, while Steins;Gate would get something like 3-9.

Pretty good final episode, especially with kaho completely losing it!
Overall, while for the most part the comedy was hit and miss, and most of the melodrama was really badly executed and repetitive, the characters were enjoyable enough and i got a few laughs.

Basically this entire episode can be summed up in.......

I don't get what the fuck happened or what was about on this episode. Very weird way to finish a season.

This series has its funsies, I may pick up the manga. Though the whole foul language thing is obnoxious as hell.

Not to mention some characters like Kaho's brother and Mafuyu are pretty disturbing.

I guess I can rate this 6.5 at most I think...........

The one thing I regret is that I'm not gonna be able to listen to Kenichi Suzumura anymore for a looooong time =/

I'm pissed the first half of the episode was a daydream....

BUT WHAT IF THAT WAS THE REAL WORLD AND THIS BIZARRE CRAP IS THE ACTUAL DAYDREAM?

I don't even know what to think but that was a terrible end.

Man this was...this episode was both super funny at parts and disappointing at others. What a terrible decision to have half the final episode be a daydream. The thing that saved the episode at all was Kaho's amazing freakout calling out all the bullshit of the series and pretty much breaking the 4th wall.

6/10 for the series, I had a good time with it but the ending dropped the ball.

I was wondering if they were seriously gonna waste time on that obvious dream crap, and they did. Good job, I knew I shouldn't have expected better.

I feel like this last episode had some good moments but it even went waaaay out there with the weirdness, more than the show was already. Or at least, I was expecting something a little different for the last episode. In any case, this was surprisingly one of the shows I've been looking forward to the most every week (Binan Koukou 2 is the other one-- maybe that says something about my taste), and I really enjoyed it.

Can't believe I managed to watch through this whole thing....especially her fantasizing Kanade being well....not a grade-schooler.....um...yeah....wut...that might have actually made me cringe more than everything else in the show.

Wow....her rant was awesome though...wish she had more outbursts like throughout...

There are some things that I never got in the end too (like wut...for the longest time I thought Ren Ren = Kazu...that kinda bombed me outta nowhere...which then makes me wonder who the heck is Ren Ren, why are they everywhere then....and why they look a lot like Kazu...unless they just did that on purpose for lolz...)

but ahh....don't want to think about it anymore...

Definitely enjoyed this one for what it was. It literally made fun of the standard, generic shoujo out there throughout it's course, while still managing to be touching at times.

Kaho snapping was a nice bonus too.

This show makes zero sense.

In the end, it just ends up being an "eh" show, that doesn't really "offend".
Which, I guess is better than a show that strings you along with intense emotion and then dumps you off with a "huh", which ends up invoking anger.
But this show doesn't do that. Instead it's just something that "exists", but doesn't have a point.

I would have liked to see more development of Kanade's character, but instead it's basically remains that he's a primary school student who doesn't understand anything and everyone finds poop and wiener jokes amusing.
And Kaho's pretty dumb for tolerating all of his antics.

I don't like to be so harsh on the show, but eh... I guess I let my expectations work me up a bit too much.
There were some really good parts, I just which they had been built on a bit more, instead of being relegated to passing "That's just a thing" moments.
Like Kaho's brother, there's a lot going on with him mentally that I'd be interested in finding out more.

Kaho's daydream was pretty epic. If there had been more moments like that in the show, I think it would have made more sense, and tied the whole thing together better. (If that makes any sense?)

at first i thought this anime was really clever and funny, which it was, but then they started throwing in unnecessary drama and tried to be deeper than it was. like the break up, the dog stuff, and whatnot. thats when it lost its good points.

the art and seiyuu saved it.

I can't believe I even lasted till the final episode of this. What a disappointment.
Anyway, since it's really a bad anime, I'm gonna rate this a 4 (or 5?) out of 10 score overall.

This series is terrible, it deserves much lower score imo. My brain hurts just thinking about what went down in the entire series. No consistency, weird (creepy) relationship with not only zero chemistry, zero genuine feelings too, and the series is not funny. The vulgar poop or wiener jokes are obnoxious, it's not funny at all. I've watched quite a few anime with dirty jokes (Gintama, Detroit Metal City, etc.) and those are what's funny, this is not comedy.

I also hated the "young kids lookin like adults" thing, and even though those kids are young, they don't act their age at all. All the "kakkoii" moments were cringe, it's like he's an adult who acts childish occassionally, instead of the opposite.

This is also not a parody! Parody doesn't take the subject they're making fun of seriously. People seems to not understand what a parody is. This is just plain bad writing.

Gonna burn this series off my memory.
