| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, the fight for the best of Japan is here. The weather is bad outside but overall excitement is great inside the building. Episode felt slightly rushed but the buildup didn't waste time with the actual competitive energy of this finale. I didn't really have anyone in particular to cheer for but everyone tried their best so thats' what really matters. |
 |
| The finals of the Combined Cup, and all the star rivals are wrecking the entire competition apart, with the obnoxious Anne Kurusu being the popular idol character as always. The Hanamiya team with the trio pairing of Konomi, Jun and Nonoka, "The Road to Best in Japan" might be a stretch of a tough challenge...but it's the team spirit that'll prevail them all throughout all 3 sport climbing disciplines. At this point, it seems like the Climbing Princess can do everything...ALMOST. An easy win over Konomi at Speed Climbing (even with the taunting bait, she did her personal best in her worst discipline, so that's more than enough), but failing at Lead Climbing and keeping the faze, that's Cool Kurusu for you, in both good and bad times. Even so, it's damn PREDICTABLE that everyone will fail (even Jun and Nonoka, a good attempt though), and the role is thrown back to the dark horse "Murder Observation" Konomi to clear this problem once and for all, of course. Puzzle game elements + strength + speed will complete her journey for a fitting finish, and as expected, she aces it. A unique show that's seriously held back by the non-sporting and CGDCT elements. Could've been good, but alas, all is sub-par. |

| This turned out to be more of a character drama / CGDCT show than a sports climbing show, but it was still an entertaining weekly watch. |
| Looks like they simply went straight to the point for this final episode. Not too sure how to feel about the last 4 minutes of the episode though. Felt like they cut a lot. Guess that's an anime adaptation for a short 4 volume manga for ya. This series was okay. Interesting topic of choice, but wasn't executed to a level that I would enjoy enough. Characters aren't cardboard cut-outs at least, and the road from newbie to the best was somewhat okay. |
| Congratz to the girls for becoming #1 on japan. Anne made a mistake and couldn't send the route but Konomi did it. Nono and Jun were great too. Nono's climbing was cute and wow she even scored 40 damn. Thou it really is a shame we didn't get to see Sayo climb. Pretty decent anime overall. I'm glad we got to see the full story and they didn't leave us with a cliffhanger. |
 |
| well...and that's how you can be a climbing master. From gaming to climbing, close enough. They won in the end but not sure if it is deserved tbh. Although Anne-chan is cancer pure. Shittalking your opponents is just low level. |
 |
| Ann's personality is even worse than i thought but at least she wasn't upset about her loss at the end. Anyway it's a shame this is over i enjoyed it a lot and would have loved to see more. Still Konomi improved a lot over the course of the anime and she got where she wanted to be. |
| Glad that Kurusu lost. I get it's her character, but god she was annoying lol. Which means she's doing her role perfect because of it. Was a funish show, pretty decent overall. |
| Anne has a shit personality but she's still one of my favorite characters of Iwa Kakeru. I started watching this for the cute girls(with abs) doing cute things but it had some forced drama, which I hate in these kind of shows. Nonoka was my favorite character, she is so cute and she makes you want to protect her. Konomi and Sayo was alright but I didn't like Jun, her passion for climbing made her a gatekeeper. Overall, it was average. 5/10. |
 |
| ya know, this would have been better if Anne Kurusu would have also trash talked other girls like that of the bunny girl and then getting to own them, but, as an antagonist, her character was simply wasted on Konomi. |
| Very predictable end for this anime, overall it had the potential to be really good but unfortunately it was meh at the end, but well at least it was entertaining to watch thanks to the good OST, good colors and that the subject is pretty good, but it's kinda a waste of potential |
 |
| I felt cheated out hearing Anne and her army of simpletons crying about her defeat. What a nasty pOS character. |

Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Well. I expected an average anime and that's what I got. There were too many still frames for my liking though. |
| And so Konomi fails to best Anne in 1 on 1, but as a team they do surpass hers. How sweet. If I were giving awards for the shows I've been watching from the Fall 2020 anime season there's one in particular I could easily see this show winning: Most disappointing. Through 3 or 4 episodes or so this series was a fun, enjoyable cute girls doing cute things sports show. Whenever they met the white haired girl and her dad while actually climbing that one big rock was the last genuinely good episode, I forget which that was specifically. Pretty much from the start of the first competition this fell off a cliff(heh) for me, and why? Shitty, forced artificial drama nonsense. To be fair to an extent most sports series fall victim to this, but in this one none of it worked for me. Oh, Jun gets psyched out by falling behind her junior? Oh, Nono is too short and the first one out despite being a senior to two other members? Oh, Sayo...hurt her finger? Seriously, they couldn't even be bothered with another way of getting Sayo out of the picture than hurting her finger. It was all such horseshit. Is horseshit one word? It is now! And I don't even remember what Konomi's drama was. She lacks the experience so fails in speed and stamina? Whoopee. By the way how jarring did it feel to shoe-horn an entire second competition into the last episode and a quarter anyway? And making Anne an obnoxious obstacle in the last few episodes felt dumb too. As it is, character design was probably the strongest aspect of this one. Konomi, Evil Spider Girl and particularly Sayo were very sexy character design-wise. Which I guess would be opposite of a cute girls doing cute things show as I generally don't associate those with big tits. But is that enough to save this from 6/10 mediocrity when it was starting higher than that? No, no it isn't. Like I said, very disappointing. |
| This had potential to be one of the better sports anime in a while, but the rushed plot ruined it. Really fun though, I'll give it a 6 or 7. |
 |
| Well, Konomi was able to send that difficult problem while no one was able to do it, especially that Anne. Predictable but good for her. And thanks to the hard work of Konomi, Nono, and Jun, Hanamiya was able to win the team competition. I've enjoyed this more than I thought I would and I wouldn't a similar anime to this. |
 |
| Wait, so did they win? It seems like they cut so much. They honestly had room for another episode in there. |
| I had a blast Konomi's journey, sad to see it go. This episode seemed longer than usual even though it was 23 minutes. Lot's of people in the crowd going crazy over Anne xD. When you realize your not fighting alone, you feel you can do anything cause you have people who you cherish and love backing you up, Konomi felt that, she didn't climb only for herself but for her team!! Final score 5.2/10 > 5/10 |
 |
| Was funny asf watching nono climbing, but I was proud as well kek, also man I love how dat red haired bitch does her finger twirling it hypnotizes me to no end o.O |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Oh my goat, what a super flashy final episode. Like a lightning. They even didn't hesitate to showed their thunder weather at that time, like these episode pacing. Damn, its fine! they surpassed everything at one episode only. And like the episode title, without not much a surprises, Konomin beat that Kurusu out into her own medicine! Nonoka proved to be the best girl for me. Even with her short shape of body, she was still did her best at the final moment. Its became a huge differences, for beating that Kurusu school out of the tournament. Nice end, and better to be like that! For Jun, yeah, she finally reached her own composure. The speed climb of her was surprisingly relaxing the team. As a result, she sealed the last needed points to beat Kurusu school out of the tournament. You did a great job, girls! Phew! So, thats it. Even though, once again, the speeding pace is not my liking, these one prove to be decent enough as an enjoyable show. The girls had their own charming, and hot as hell. If only this one have a better pacing direction, and not compressed everything in one episodes only, it will be better. Well, i might expect something quite high. So, as a low grade, this show is a decent one, ngl. Even using a non quite popular branch of sport like climbing is a good choice, to increased the scores from me. Score for me at every aspects: Story: 7 Art and animation: 7 Sounds: 6 Characters: 8 Enjoyment: 7 Overall scores: 7/10 |

| Looking back at the first images and scenes I saw, I got a totally different vibe than the episodes throughout. And now it's all tied together. Konomi has gotten so ripped damnnn Amazing seeing the progress of each of the characters (not as much for sayo cause she's already a badass) and how it paid off in the end Have goosebumps now I love the new ED :) (well I don't think I can actually call it that since this is the last ep..) Overall this was good 7/10 |
 |
| started off well and was fun at spurts, got eh in the second half, especially when MC got crazy with her analyzing the walls. the finale was nice but boy did it end abruptly. also goddamn do whoever was producing need to learn how to volume control during the last few episodes im teetering between 6 or 7...bc i did enjoy some of it but didnt pay good attention to others. so a good 6/10 |

| I like this show,but the quality of animation is not really good. 6.5/10 |
| Well, that sure was a rushed as well as underwhelming finale. The whole Combined Cup was pretty much condensed into one single episode and as a result, Hanamiya's victory ended up feeling rather shallow and not rewarding in the slightest. Honestly, it's not like I was expecting something remarkable here but still, pretty disappointing series overall. It started being rather average, it got better with the episodes focused on the first big tournament but ended up going downhill after the abrupt way in how said tournament concluded. Pacing was terribly handled and characters such as Uchimura, Ooba and especially Kurusu can go die in a pit, honestly. Seriously, it's the first time in a while that a group of characters irritate me enough to the point of experiencing real stress when it was time to watch a new episode. Funnily enough, the last time I felt this way was with another spokon. That one being Hanebado! two years ago. 3/10 - And that "ryokan" episode that was hinted in the ED didn't even happen in the end. Man, I'm so salty right now. |
| Alright the 6th show of the Fall season that I have finished and Iwa Kakeru is borderline mediocre. I never felt that I loved this show throughout its run but it's not a terrible sports anime. The thing that weighed this show down are four main factors: I. Below average animation, II. Uncomfortable pacing of the show, III. Almost all characters are bland as fuck, and the one I hate the most is IV. Too much Neko bullshit. So the episode featured the final tournament. Anne being so annoying as F with the annoying Kurukurusu. Our Hanamiya girls did their best and Konomi achieving the lead climbing was really good. But that abrupt in the end is so painful to see. They just rushed and left us viewers like the show just fucking escaped. Overall it's between 5 or 6 for me, too sad it didn't took itself serious and it was kinda missing some parts that it really needed. |
 |
| I enjoyed the show but, it felt rushed especially this finale. I think it would have really benefited the show if there was one more episode. The ending felt so abrupt, there was no proper closure. But still, I enjoyed the show especially the last few episodes and I liked the Hanamiya girls. Kurusu Anne was a bitch but, she took her loss to Konomi pretty well so, I can respect that. Overall I'll give the show a 7/10, well more like a 6.5 but rounded up. It had potential but, the weak production didn't help. Still pretty enjoyable though. |
 |
| Seeing Konomi climbing, for some reason his hands were sweating Even though this anime is a bit rushed, I still enjoy this anime |
 |
| Everyone looking at Konomi but Nono was cutest climber girl this ep. Overall, an average-at-best show and I'm kind of being generous just calling it that. It's kinda sad when a show so thoroughly focused on ass and thighs doesn't do it for me. 5/10 and not a decimal point higher. |

| That Kurusu is annoying as hell until the end. Gladfully, Hanamiya can win in the team competition and Konomi can climb higher than Kurusu. Hanamiya is truly a great team when everyone supports each other in need. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| This show certainly didn't blow me away and that as a fan of sports anime. Would've prefered the stupid fanservice approach all the way. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| For a sports anime this show showed a lot of potential and depth, idk why ppl here are expecting criteria from different genres to a sports genre, we should be happy there's no friendship power nor hanebado hardwork BS nor any superpower here, every character has versatility on their own, talented areas and weaknesses, this is probably the only sports anime with no ass pulls (no pun intended) and even if I just missed one, you can't deny it has the least 8/10 |
 |
| This wasn't that great, but I have to give it credit: I did smile when Konomi made it to the top. |
| I didn't care about the sports but yeah competitiveness was shown and was great, came here for the pits and i think i got enough of it. Fun anime overall, expecting a season 2 here. 5/10 |
 |
| Kurusu and her cringy fans annoyed the hell out me. Overall this was pretty boring, sports anime have usually a cool hype in it but this serie lacked that. 5.5/10 |
| I am dissapointed. I was kinda of excited for this anime. Specially ecchi and fanservice wise. Not only that, but also in a general context (not that I was expecting good plot/story whatsover). However, it managed to be pretty average in every other aspect as well. Average at best. I had in mind the excitment I had while watching something unusual like Keijo! Well, in fact the Climbing was, per see, unusual, but everything else being average at best didn´t help at all. If possible, I would give it a 4.5/10. |
 |
| Well, globally a pleasant ride, mostly because of the main characters. Otherwise, the animation was average, explanations about climbing were really good (for newbies like me at least), story... not much to mention there. The main problem with this show was the pacing : if we take the last competition (episodes 11-12) as an example, we could barely see some real conditions speed, bouldering or anything, with many contenders. And even with the main characters, some parts were simply absent or rushed in a single 20sec sequence. I wish we could have seen more climbing scenes. I'd give it a 7/10, probably as an encouragement to do better here. I gave 1 point for the information learnt about this sport I barely had any knowledge before. |
