I'm sad and disappointed. I wasn't speculating, you insisted i was, i refuted you, and you ignored it. Your problem, not mine. But yeah, considering you take that joke of a website seriously, and considering your conversational performance, i beg of you, for your own good, go read the Harvard Classics or something, get yourself a MINIMUM real education on logic and reasoning. Yikes. You'd know that rationalwiki was bullshit if you actually investigated it's statements, claims, and more importantly it's references/sources, or should i say, lack thereof. That is, you not only continue to seriously protect your speculations with the help of things that are not connected to the actual plot and refer to your opinion as an argument, but also try to attack the resource itself instead of an answer in essence? Are these fantasies so personal to you?

Lol, I openly declare that you are officially the most arrogant person I have met in my life. |

First half of the episode was spicy. Except, unlike many other "spicy" anime out there (Ahem, Domestic Girlfriend) it was not incest spiciness so im all cool with it. Had good laughs and cringes with the first half, then second half wrapped up the show in a nice albeit rushed manner. |

I really liked this anime but now that I think about it, I realize that it has a lot of flaws and it’s strange how majority of viewers had no problem with the final episode and thought it was a masterpiece and didn’t mention how stupid the whole resolution to the plot with Niina was I felt that the Love vs Lust theme that was clearly shown in Izumi’s character was masterfully done and very realistic, just because a boy is sexually attracted to another girl even though he has a girlfriend, it doesn’t mean that he wants to have sex with her and give in to temptation, not all boys are driven by lust and most shows that deal with lust and sexuality always have the same cliche cheating love triangle and even the infamous school days is guilty of this thing as well despite the fact that it happens in real life, it’s so overdone in media and O Maidens did it very well The game of colors was also a smart way to get these kids to understand their feelings The biggest flaw that this anime had and failed at is how Kazusa and Izumi reacted to Niina’s actions, I never expected this anime to be like school days, white album 2 or domestic girlfriend but I did expect a lot of drama and broken friendships and a bit of anger and resentments from both kazusa and Izumi towards Niina because honestly there’s no way that a friendship can ever be fixed after such nasty betrayal Not only did Niina sexually assault Izumi and guilt-trip and manipulate him into thinking that he was the one in the wrong by saying that he got hard to make him think that he cheated on kazusa which traumatized the poor Izumi and caused him emotional turmoil and extreme self-loathing, she also lied in front of everyone and said that he was the one who touched her to make him look like the bad guy right in front of Kazusa and the other girls and made that very nasty look while she was talking to Kazusa (that's just so messed up) when she literary made up with Kazusa and apologized to her the day before and then she goes and does something like that even after she betrayed Kazusa The problem is that what Niina was just downright evil and I find it so unbelievable that something like this is just played for laughs and never brought up again and then everything is happy and shiny, It’s so unrealistic If Okada wanted to use the seduction plot only to test Izumi’s feeling for Kazusa and not make it an NTR and make Niina and Kazusa stay friends without consequences, then it should have never been brought by Niina in the first place, it could have been only between Niina and Izumi and Kazusa didn’t need to know about it at all because Izumi was going to choose her any way but If your going to bring up something like this, then at least do it realistically, If Niina values her friendship with Kazusa so much like she claims, why wasn’t she scared that her saying this might actually make Kazusa hate her ? how could she say something like this so confidently with that sadistic look? Niina is clearly using sex as a form of stimulation for herself and her seducing Izumi was mostly to arouse herself as well as Izumi and not just because she wants to seduce him like many people think, she finds the whole idea of Izumi practicing on her very exciting and her line ‘’I felt so hot when he touched me’’ completely prove this point, she’s literally a sociopath But I don’t think that she’s always been this way, her being a sociopath is clearly the result of her being groomed by that pedophile, she spent years of her life with this man seeing as she was a former child actress and was never allowed to a live a normal life like the other kids or even interact with them, she was never close to any boy her age before she met Izumi and Seagusa was most likely the closet person to her not just from the opposite sex but he was the closet person to her in general seeing as how she always goes back to him for advice, her being mature and having a very philosophical view on life is all just a facade and her just repeating what this man said to her without actually understanding what she herself is even saying and her messed up views on sex and relationships are basically his views and her almost Sociopathic personality was also shaped by his personality and it's so strange how her mother was totally fine with it and it makes me wonder even more just how close Niina is to her parents and if she actually comes from a broken home Niina is just …sick in the head although I do like her very much as a character and I feel very sorry for her because she was groomed by a pedophile but she’s too twisted and she's far far worse than Sekai from school days, Sekai at least uses sex as a way to show her love for Mokoto rather than using it as a form of pleasure and manipulating her love interest like Niina is doing + It said in her profile page at the official website and the manga that her favorite Book is the ''Story of the Eye'' which is a very messed up story and this is definitely the reason why she's so f**** up athough I'm not sure if it was seagusa who recommended it to her or if she read it by herself |

Hmm thought this was a pretty unsatisfying final episode. Everything was wrapped up too conveniently. At least everyone got a happy end. This started off as my second most favorite show this season below Vinland Saga until it became too ambitious with the drama. I don't mind melodrama at all (in fact, I love it), but the way the show suddenly switched gears in the last four episodes felt really awkward. It would've been much better if the drama was introduced earlier in the story. Still, it was a good watch overall. 6/10 |

I do not think your comment is a big deal so I can't be blaming you for it. You asked 'What?' and I answered. Now you are asking me why I keep talking about this. Imagine my surprise. That's absurd. I only responded. I even apologized. I'm not concerned nor interested. So it seems only you perceive the turmoil here. I'm not. I'm merely responding. I have already explained - it struck me as an immature comment so I pointed it out. There is nothing more to say or do here other than to move on. This isn't a game for me to have a last word. If you do not ask a question or say something contradicting or deserving a correction, I will stop responding. Pls remember that you have already changed the topic once - to why I even bothered. Do not make the same mistake unless that is what you want to do (talk). GenesisAria said: If this were a dialectical discussion we'd be mutually synthesizing information to come do the most truthful conclusion, instead of pointless debates. I mean we can go over this all systematically if you really want... This honestly reads like Tamanawa (Snafu). Can you also do the hand thing? GenesisAria said: get yourself a MINIMUM real education Have you heard of steelman/steelmanning? For all the meticulous description of the people's fatal mistakes, you could instead take your time to actually forward them and the discussion into something more meaningful (it is not easy, sure). Rather than shape all your incredible words into an infallible personal attack. What good are words to you if in the end you abuse them for no good?

@sspit Dude, I just mentioned that I had more important things than analyzing why someone's comment was sexist. As you can see from my last discussion, all this shit with wanabe critics takes me too much time, so this is definitely not what I need. If I understand your message correctly, then this is an unpromising idea in advance. Steel man suggests that your argument will be a search for truth, not a personal conflict over a victory. And it is pointless to advise this tool to a person who is ready to turn into a real scholastic and flaunt books he has read, instead of discussing the actual plot. |

God dang I got to this late, I always hesitate on clicking on the next episode of anime like this knowing things are about to get heavy... THIS WAS NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING AT ALL. For things to come out during a weird hostage situation where everyone is either emotionally or sexually unstable, this was really fun, but somehow not all that satisfying, like, at all. It wasn't bad, but I feel like it had a bit too much build up, like it needed just one more episode to get things wrapped up. |

Nice multi relationship trainwreck. Quite some surprise twists lol principal calmly walked away. The color tag and literature focused protest was truly colorful. Thanks Milo sensei. Izumi lol awkwardly honest, and Amagi too cute & smooth with that forehead moment. A few characters didn't have the best resolutions, but at least Momo stayed friends with Sugawara. There were fairly weird stuff in some episodes but still added to the group's development. |

The people that are giving Izumi shit for what he said to Nina, I think may not realize something. It is entirely possible to be emotionally attracted to one girl but only sexually attracted to another. Yeah, it sucks, and it's a rough thing to have to say to a girl, but he did what needed to be done. He was honest, through and through. Nobody would want a liar. I personally have definetly been sexually attracted to partners before that I discovered I had no real emotional attachment to. I am pretty satisfied with this ending, and enjoyed this anime - it went a lot of places I personally have not seen an anime go before. Pregnancy, sex, homosexuality, taboo relationships. Like...damn. That threw me for whiplash. Also, post-nut clarity. Izumi can just figure it out after he goes and jacks off |

This anime was AWESOME! There are so many interesting pieces of nuance to it, and I really enjoyed the characters. Did anyone else catch that Izumi was extra-disgusted with Niina's actions due to the fact that she did what she did on a train? It was great the whole way through. They completely disregarded boundaries and just dealt with high school sexuality as it is in reality. Such a rich slice of life. |

I thought bc the manga was still going there was likely gonna be a season 2 or a cliff hanger but it gave a full conclusion and im so sad i wanted to watch more :( it was such a great,underrated show! i really did try to recommend it to as many people as possible which i usually never do. i really liked how they wrapped it up with not too many bitter feelings but rather showed how teenage emotions can be handled. what a great show this was,i will definitely be picking up the manga since spanish publishers already have most of the volumes out! |

Characters and scenes out of the box is all good...unrealistically deranged characters and scenes are not. Okada knew how to write good dialogue. She knew how to write charming characters. She knew how to use metaphors. The subject was original. But something ended up off. Why was it so messy? Why did everything feel so...contrived? I still commend it for staying fun for 12 episodes. Loved the character designs and colour palette too 5-6/10. |

I am not usually into shoujo slice of life romance shows, but this was so realistic in a well done, slowly evolving but pleasing manner, I had to give it an 8/10. SO much that I could empathize with form my youth and all the women I used to know and get involved with. C'est la vie. This show was funny and surprisingly conveyed depth pretty well. And I am glad they didnt just make it a pure Shojo Show and forget or marginalize the men, because then it would have gotten a far far less worthy rating from me. Seen that too much. Anyways, this show was great, and I appreciated the end and realism all around. OH to be young again, truly I have been getting old the last couple years. *smfh * Ciao |

How to fix all the drama that has accumulated in this episode 12? just play some color tag lolz Enjoyed this a lot more than I initially thought I would, would have liked it if that damn pedo got caught by the cops, well at least he got punched Ending felt a bit abrupt in my opinion, would have liked a couple more episodes to take it a bit slower with more focus on everybody's personal issues, because now everything got solved in one episode |

Frankly, i think the story of this episode is great but you should put it in two episodes, or rather it's really good for me but something is missing expecially about the relationship between Kazusa, Niina and Izumi: ok, he's attracted by Niina but he loves Kazusa and then he "fix this problem" with Kazusa at the end, but we forgot some characterization of Niina, having heard his speech with Kazusa she has accpted the situation when Izuki said that he wanted to be Kazusa's boyfriend and then? Between Niina and Izumi? Did he speak to her? Hitoha's book and the answer at the her questions where are? I enjoyed a lot this series and unusually i'm here to write my opinion, for me the plot and the characters, also the adaptation, are very good.. the final is good, certainly better than others. From the first episode my vote has changed from 8.5 to something more to 7 and then to 8. So at the end i give to this series an 8 and to the 12th episode a 4/5 ^^. |

Anyone else feeling strong Kuzu no Honkai vibes after finishing this series? Lol. Talk about drama. Maybe it's just me, but I really don't enjoy watching anime characters mess up their lives and I feel like that's what happened with this show. Niina's character by the end was truly unlikable. I hated the way she made a move on Izumi when he was in a relationship with her best friend and how she nearly went there with her acting teacher just for the sake of it. Hondou's relationship with the teacher was a mess and completely absurd at times. The fact that they got married in the end was ridiculous. Kazusa was self-centred and oblivious. Momoko has a literal breakdown and gets a phobia of men. One which is never really confronted properly in the end. You'd think that would be a pretty big deal. Rika was probably the most enjoyable character to watch but she gets little development. Izumi as a love interest was never likeable. Your typical nice, oblivious guy who can't make up his mind? He should have been fuming at Niina after they got off the train but no, he's all nicey nicey. It's awful. He should have at least said it was a mistake. They really needed a spectacular ending to sort out all their feelings and that was far from what we got. The lack of communication is dire in this show and watching them all fumble about is less "the blues of youth" and more the pitch black bad mistakes which they should not be making. I'm disappointed because I thought this show was going to be a lot better than it was. |

They ended it on such a blast, making me want more. Also, while Izumi's confession makes him look like an asshole, I do appreciate his honestly. Kazusa is supposed to be a relatively plain girl while Niina is suppose to be drop dead gorgeous and he's just being honest about that. He himself is suppose to be a drop dead gorgeous, which is part of the reasons why Kazusa likes him, so she's not any different. But man, that lesbian girl sure is selfish ain't she? But a lot of the characters have major flaws so it would be a little unfair to single her out. Plus, it must be tough being a lesbian since most people aren't gay. |

RobertBobert said: @GenesisAria Firstly, Takarazuka herself was never directly related to lesbianism. It had a great influence on the development of this culture as a female theater, but unlike Japanese male theaters, it was not directly connected with this culture. As for Niina x Momoko, then you confuse the current plot and speculation. People don't change sexuality just because someone nice to them and in theory could be a good couple with them, especially when you remember that Okada has already done exactly that message in True Tears. Not to mention the fact that such a turn would be a cheap romantic cliche and sharply contradicted Okada-sensei's attempts to be realistic and talk about a realistic experience. I understand that you love yuri and would like to see them together, but human sexuality doesn't work like that. You cannot suddenly become bisexual just because your gay friend was kind to you. I don’t know what will be in the manga epilogue, but for now we can only say that they have become friends and support each other after an unsuccessful romantic experience. Niina is still experiencing the loss of Izumi, but Momoko is close by so that Niina is not alone with her emiotions. Agreed, if they just magically made Niina gay AND like Momoko just for the sake of convenience, it would be major ewww. Most people are not gay and Niina couldn't had made it more clear that she doesn't swing that way, life isn't that convenient. Momoko will be fine, gay bar exists. Her personality is kinda unbearable but most people suck and they find partners just fine. |

While the show itself clearly wants to convey a realistic queer experience, people want it to be something like a generic happy end. |

Well that was one hell of a "ride", that, binge through this, which left me with complicated feelings... I guess the show wrapped up with happy end. What I liked about this? A HAPPY END!! (yes tears of joy) sweet heavenz. We have been clear most of the girl is going out with each respective boys, especially the sensei, his character and direction was well written in the end, my respect. For Momoko and Niina, Niina sorta subconsciously being rejected and became lez? (that kind of thing happens too), not very well explained but I guess that Izumi is her last attempt in pursuing men. Momoko case, I guess I had read up again on her or I just gonna assume she felt that guys are sort of persistent and inconsiderate, if anything her event might be the saddest.. Overall the experience was great for me, atmosphere turns dark and heavy at certain points, I also liked some detailed body language they shown to each characters, most importantly, the happy end to our well-deserved casts, good to see they let out their feelings at the end and start their real journey. Had to admit youth is sweet and sour, but I'm kinda full of jealousy watching this lovey-dovey! Joy and envy should be the main cause of this feeling, but I can say I left the ending with high approval and I'm equally left with diabetes. P.S. There's a lot of romantic blush, those are just too CUTE omfg X3 |

Note that body language Momoko gave her made it 1/2 aside from being BFF, left to be guessed. Tbh unless it's some yuri anime such as Sakura Trick, I prefer boy x girl in romance. |

Momoko is a canonical lesbian, I don’t think that there can be something subtle. But in the Niina x Momoko case is it rather a representation of the first lesbian experience in the style of "I fell in love with my straight female friend". I understand that here in any case there is some kind of ambiguity, but personally I am sure that they simply became close friends after a common traumatic experience. At least Niina's reaction to the MC x Izumi scene clearly shows that she still has feelings for him and is single, I think. |

Sheesh the drama felt so forced this episode! Izumi showing up is about the absolute worst thing that can happen right now, yet look what happens! Their plan is flawed too. Realistically, they'd all be expelled for taking a teacher hostage. LOL Izumi's confession. Sexually attracted to one and romantically to another. I'm at a loss for words. At least there was proper closure between Izumi and Kazusa there at the end. Yeah, this anime really didn't do it for me. I was stoked in the beginning, thinking it'd be a nice slice of life comedy thing,, but I was sorely mistaken it seems. It went from a fun-loving SoL to ludicrious conspiracies, lies amongst friends, love triangles -- this blew me out of the water, and that's why my feelings on this anime are more or less mixed. It started out on first base then went all the way to home plate. I can't find complete enjoyment in an anime that lacks a clear purpose. 5/10 |

Honestly, I did find the first half of the episode to be funny. Momoko and Niina had a little moment together that I thought was noticable. In the meantime, we also got Hitoha and sensei conversing about their recent moments. We got a lot of various feelings from the female cast in this epsiode. Was never a fan of Izumi in this show though. He's awkward, but he's a genuinely good guy |

Glad nearly everyone got their happy endings. Well, Momoko and Niina got kinda left out. Saegusa was shown walking alone behind Kazusa and Izumi. Even Sugimoto got a girlfriend... |

Well, that was a terribly rushed and forced way to end the series. Seems like the author just wanted to force the cast into a ridiculous situation of "rebelling against a corrupt system", which really wasn't necessary and hurt the narrative. For how much the story tries to be realistic about portraying puberty's roller-coaster of emotions, it required significant suspension of disbelief to accept that the characters got off practically scot-free for an attempted kidnapping of school staff, threatening the school administration with demands, and vandalism. Even the characters themselves were questioning if they needed to resort to such drastic measures, which says a lot about how out-of-touch such a situation is. And even as the author tries to set up such a situation, the plot just falls flat. What kind of school administration would literally turn a blind eye to the main characters' direct act of rebellion? Not only is it blatantly for plot convenience so that the main characters won't be interrupted for the rest of the episode, it also makes the whole setup of a rebellion meaningless. On the plus side, the author does address the many loose ends regarding the characters' relationships. Everyone begins to confront one another and lay bare their feelings and insecurities, with unexpected answers understandably leading to confusion and chaos. Yet, an unexpected method was used to resolve the situation... Let's play a game of tag! ... Really? This ain't No Game No Life. Putting the appropriateness of such a proposal aside (having a game when holed up at school protesting against injustice), somehow the game conveniently resolves the remaining problems between the characters, by helping to define something as abstract as emotions with colours. Blank would have cried if they read the rules for the game; it's basically "anything I say goes". Honestly, the first 10 episodes got me really invested in this anime, enough for me to want to write this long comment piece after it ended. The characters were interesting and relatable, and the comedy was mostly on-point. Which makes it all the more frustrating that it had to end in such a disappointing manner. For an anime about the "journey" of growing up, these last two episodes seems to have given up on this "journey" just to rush straight to the "destination". TL;DR The execution in the last two episodes were terrible, largely due to the ridiculous and unnecessary situation that the author decided to pop on the main cast. |

The show definitely brings up a lot of relatable scenarios but the latter half of this show became very drama heavy for its own good. Kinda got annoying at one point not gonna lie |

A total shock for me watching this show with sweet end like that. A complete chaos from the drama nonsense finish their problem into nice color hide-and-seek game. Its insane, tho how this show start out with weird typical slice of life comedy thing added in some spicy dirty joke, and shit happen with wild relationships, love triangles drama, even added with some other relations like Yuri, lolicon shitty old man, sensei loves, and so on. Man, what a chaos you had there, for sure. And then, after credit animations rolled on. Lovely relationship, as always from Sonezaki and Amagi. So they go to same campus, eh? Even they keep establish the friendship with Jujo, which is somehow pretty amazing for the character development. The time begin to ticking, and now for Hongo, and her sensei. They good too, Hongo smiling just well enough to me to prove what is goin on between them. Yet, like she said before. Eventhough she failed to get the sensei heart (yes, this sensei decide to marry with another sensei, which is good to watch as a canon. Nice conclusion!), she can entertain him a bit, and give him more fun. In this part, i freeze. The story telling got its final with more senses, and i can't predict that shit to happen. Oh well, thats so good! Okay, my favourites final aftercredit were over there. Momoko and Niina now got serious to each others feeling, more yuri for them. Kazusa and Izumi got happy end relationship, tho, and i love that ended to finalize. Amazing conclusion to the story end. Rellevant progression to the final characterization. Even sweet inserting song and its soundtracks really heart-warming to listen. Great work overthere, Honey Works and teams! On top of that, besiding how its goes in the sources material, overall this show overwhelming my expectation. Making weird attempt in the first three, going into nonsense drama, even added some creepy old man, the end just give me a hype. Lol. Arabure otometachi aragae otometachi. I lend this words to show how five of them freely expressing their true young wild system of the girls into such a fun-ride show with beautifully nice end, and got amazing storyline afterall. 10/10 without hesitations for this eccentrical romance-drama show with too much sweetness in the end |

The last two episodes were just super, super disappointing and this "happy ending" doesn't fit any of the themes of the show at all. Super fucking random and out of nowhere. How in the world does conflict get resolved this easily? It doesn't, nothing about this is okay! This actually sucks. They dropped the ball big-time with this one! Very unsatisfying... Who hurt you? Jeez. |

Jeez. Nobody hurt me, the show was pretty dark up until episode 10-11 and all the problems were just solved with a snap of the finger like they were absolutely nothing. The ending completely ruined it for me. |

I guess the epilouge ended any possibility of a season 2, but it was a pretty solid wrap up. I think Momoko could've done a lot better than Nina, but that's just a hot take. First 8 episodes: 8/10, ep 9-10: 7/10, ep 11: 4/10, ep 12: 6.5/10 with an extra .5 because of the epilogue (other than that I think it dragged a little even tho the best girl Rika moments were great; I think seeing more of the college time jump would've been nice, but it still worked). 7/10, there were things that I think could've been done better, but I still liked it overall. |
