So Cocoa's mother and Chino's mother where good friends that explains a lot.
It was nice to see Moka again and her sister obsession.

The girls where also doing well with the plans for their future.
It's a shame this is over but we will have a nice camping anime next season so there is something nice to replace it.
Still i hope to see more of this.

All Hail King Chino!
I want to see the performance, I hope they will show it to us in the next season.
Congratz to Rize for passing the exams!

So much enjoyment as always but it's even more this season, almost all characters shine. Definitely the best season of Gochiusa so far and thus become my AOTS.

It was a great final episode to a great season. Chino and Cocoa's moms were friends. A certain anime came to my mind when Chino said "Beyond here, there's a bigger world" lol.

Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? Bloom was the best season of Gochiusa in my opinion. My Saturdays became way better thanks to this show. I had so much fun every single episode. All of the girls were so cute, they made my heart melt. There were episodes that I laughed and cried (yes, I cried when I was watching Gochiusa). I already loved Chino and the others but this season made me appreciate them even more. THIS SEASON WAS GREAT.

So we finally had something from Mocha-san this season YEEEEEEEEEEESS !!!

It is a pity that her appearance this season was so short, however ;-; I love this character and I wish I had seen her in this season more often. Anyway, this was a very good season overall. I really enjoyed all the episodes.

The final episode makes me thoughtful, can we expect an OVA or a movie about the trip the characters are about to take?

I'm a Mocha fanboy and lol, surprising that Chino's smugness level didn't explode as Queen.

Loved this season again, I would even go as far as saying that I enjoyed it the most along with Golden Kamuy and Jujutsu Kaisen this fall. GochiUsa is a series that never fails to be an emotional ride and it features many interesting relationships. Hope for more in the future, seeing all the girls on another trip would be great.

Man, this was sweet! Easily one of the finest finales this season and, by extension, the year even.

Got to love all those past hints and seeing two instances of that this episode was an absolute treat. Saki-san, aka Usagi, being the clumsy type according to Hoto-san was an interesting input, lol.

I really want to play that "Ousama" game, by the way. Amazing how they come up with these. Chino-focused episodes have always been the highlight and this was no different! Favourite moment though has got to be smug Chino Onee-chan xD. All hail king Chino! World conquest not far off, lol.

Chino assessing her people's thoughts and whatnot was really nice too.

Pleasant new ED to sign off with, I'm definitely going to miss this a ton! Just having this to end 2020 off with is incredibly special and I need my Season 4 now! Please, Manga Time Kirara and Production Committee!

Comparatively, I thought this season was a little weak until last week. But now, it's right up there! Hard to choose the best out of the three honestly but wouldn't mind Season 4 stealing that spotlight y'know, lol.

Easy 8/10 from me.

@FMmatron, our prediction was right on the mark!

@FMmatron, Indeed!

I'm sad the season is over, I'm going to miss the girls and their dads. Maybe there will be a season 4, but I have my doubts. Hopefully, I'm wrong. Congrats to Rize for passing the exam. I thought it was cool that Rize and Chino's parents were in a small band, as well as Chino's mom was friends with Cocoa's mom. It felt like it came full circle in that regard. I thought it was cool to see Cocoa's older sister and mom again, I was kind of hoping the girls would visit their bakery at least once. I loved how Chino looked back at her experiences and memories she made with everyone and thanked Cocoa.

The one and only appearance of Mocha and Cocoa's mother. They both looked very healthy and happy. Chino and Cocoa mother actually ever attended the same high school together. Usagi-chan? Nice information! At the end, Chino and Cocoa already been destined to be together. Sweet! Man, that uniform looked very adorable to both of them. See? Its a fate!

New year at usagi city. They both looked pretty great. A little chat from Midorin and Rin. They both deserved that relaxation. What about the others? Ofc they enjoyed their play. Chino as a queen, while everyone shopping. Chino need to decided her orders? What kind of? Her order was a rabbit? No! Its their fun trip and a little party at Chino's rabbit house! As a celebration to Rize's acceptance at the university entrance exam! Man, how touchable, yet, its surprising. They were really growing at a nice pace of their owns. I am almost forgot, the time has come to their finals. Like Chino said at the end, that i must say it again:

Thank you very much, Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka.

Nice final ep. Smug Chino was great.

The final scene was great, too, but the fade to white made it feel like the type of scene where someone is talking to a dead person and they disappear into the afterlife, lol.

I've always liked this show but it's never been a favorite. It's like 7 or 8 out of 10 territory for me.

Wow, I almost teared up. What a precious way to conclude another heartwarming season of GochiUsa. Even Mocha and Cocoa's mom made an appearance and it was also revealed that Chino's mom and Cocoa's used to be friends while going to the same school.

Overall, the show's best season in my opinion. Probably because the spotlight in such large main cast was perfectly handled and not to mention that, unlike previous seasons, there was also a certain sense of progression in the story with Rize passing her exams to enter college and ChiMaMe team about to enter high-school in a couple of months. Chino as a high-school student, uh?... Why do I think I will feel like a proud parent when I see that? xD

Again, what a truly beautiful season this was. If it weren't for Golden Kamuy S3, this would have been my AOTS. No doubts.

9/10 - It's sad to say goodbye but thankfully, Winter 2021 has it covered with its fair share of wholesome shows. Man, Yuru Camp S2 and Non Non Biyori Nonstop couldn't come sooner!

we finally got some Mocha shenanigans in the first half and the revelation that Cocoa mom and Chino mom were buds (unless i missed it/forgot in previous seasons)

as said this alot about Rabbit House, but this series is how moeblob is done right. its not offensively try-hard at being cute for the sake of being cute like most CGDCTs, they just let the characters just do what they do and not overexaggerate. they relied alot on the reactions to reactions this time but the charm, funny, and heartwarmth is still there. and you get to see how much the girls have grown since the beginning. that post credit scene with Cocoa and Chino pretty much sums it up how i feel about this series, its FUN. 9/10 for me and hope S4 is on the horizon

Great episode. Great season. I'm sad it's over. I hope we get another season at some point down the line but I'm guessing there's going to be a movie about their trip like Non Non Biyori Vacation. Seems like that was what they were setting up for.

I feel like season on season, Gochiusa has got better and better, perhaps because I love the characters all the more now but I really enjoyed this show.

It's probably the only 9/10 I'll give out this year and it's definitely my AOTY.

What an amazing season this has been, I am so sad this ended now, cause the cuteness never once stopped as per usual. So much growth this season for Chino, but honestly everyone grew up in their own way. Chimame graduating Middle School and Rize going to University. I will miss this show!

9/10, the adventures of Rabbit House and rivals never grows old. I think this season personally was the best for me. The moment every girl was wearing different colored uniforms made my heart melt. The ultimate and best team out there!!!

Now can we get a Non Non Biyori treatment for this franchise as well, OVA + Movie for the traveling plan they thought of!! It needs to happen!! Ofcourse I would also be more than delighted for a 4th season!

All hail King Chino! X3

The last episode of season 3 was filled with plenty of cute and funny moments. We finally get to see Mocha and her mother and how much Rabbit House has influenced them with their uniforms and a makeshift Tippy on their heads. Another thing to note was that Cocoa's mother used to be close friends with Chino's mother, Usagi, hence why Chino recognises the uniform that Cocoa got from her family.

Cocoa still looks nice in her Middle School uniform and Chino somehow makes Mocha's High School uniform work. =3

The second half of the episode was great. Not only Chino became king for a day, but it showcased how much everyone has grown over the course of the season. With the ChiMaMe corps preparing for high School life and with Rize planning a graduation trip after succeeding her exams into her chosen University, the fun times that everyone has together, no matter what path they'll take in the future, will never end. During these tough times in the world right now, I really appreciate that level of hope and optimism. ^_^

On that note, this 3rd season of GochiUsa gets a 9/10. Best season so far and I pray for another season in the future, or at least a movie of our group on their own graduation trip together.

It's also another reason why I love iyashikei/CGDCT shows in the first place and this season of GochiUsa has set the bar rather high for Yuru-Camp S2 and Non Non Biyori Nonstop to match. This upcoming Winter season will be rather awesome!

Well, Gochiusa Bloom is definitely my Aots Fall 2020.. I'm really glad i can watch this 3rd season from beginning till the end. I felt like this season has a lot of mohumohu moments because the characters has become more opened to each other.

This anime definitely deserves: 10/10

Can't wait for the Gochiusa: Vacation Movie ^_^

Here my fav moments from episode 12:
Cocoa-chan is really cute as imouto 🥰
Cocoa-chan making snow angel 😆
So cute. Especially Chino-chan wearing scarf 💕

Try reading Spy x Family Manga ^_^

You're not wrong, but it was still pretty good in the comedy department imo. There was a lot more focus on character growth and coming of age this season which is a good change.

Oh no its over already how am i going to survive next week without my weekly dose of fluffiness ╥﹏╥ . A great season, perfectly adapted and despite the few years of gap and change of studio not only did the quality not drop, in fact it got better.

Solid 10/10 from me, this season focused more on character development and everyone got their chance to shine, sharo and chiya gets alot of screentime and everyone got their own arc. BGMs are great as usual and OP ED are 10/10. The scenery and background in this show is simply breathtaking and i love how much details they put into designing the town's background and landscape.






also smug chino

and cute cocoa momma

Looks like we might get the vacation arc in a movie form next. Fingers crossed though. They're closing in on the original material, hopefully it wont take too long for next season, can't wait for their encounter in next arc <3

this season had me smiling more than laughing which is fine since it was the most progress i've seen in yet(more character growth than a few other shows this season..)

they nailed another season and i feel like they might still pump out another movie speaking of which i still have the first one to watch since i never seen her mom till now and it's a crime they left those two airheads out the whole season.


flat8/10 for more embarrassedly cute fluff


also this has to be the record for most times characters changes costumes right i swear every episode they had some different uniform they wanted to wear lol

This season focuses a lot less on humour and more on its characters and their relationships with each other. Also there has been a consistent coming-of-age theme this season. Seriously well done. It was still just as cute and soothing as always.

Chino's mom is dead? Looks like we're going to get a movie/4th season where they venture outside of their small town.

My prediction is that Chino's mom is alive and lives in the city. they're probably going to go and search for her.

Just as good as the other seasons, with a wholesome memorable ending each time. 6.5/10

I'm not exactly sure why this was the case when the key staff for this were the same as the previous two seasons, but a lot of this season felt pretty... "flat" to me and struggled to really hold my interest. With a lot more screentime for best girl Sharo, that shouldn't have been the case, and yet it was. I think that, in the early episodes at least, I wasn't overly invested in the Chimame Corps trying to decide on a high school, but even after that a lot of it just felt a bit dull.

That's not to say this season didn't have its highlights - most notably the appearance of Chino's mother during the Halloween episode, as that was really emotional and very well done - but I digress. This has always been my main issue with GochiUsa despite liking the characters a lot, but it definitely felt more prominent this season than either of the previous two.

As people already pointed out the story slowly shifts from comedy and all happy to more coming of age tale, our characters are growing, changing, and more future oriented themes are coming into question. Everyone has their own plans, dreams ... and our little Chino seems lost in the midst of all of this, but as in all good slice of life stories she has her friends to help her and encourage her.

People say that this season was "worse" than the two previous ones, but i think it's more that this season did set a different feel/tone. And if we ever get a season four it will be even more like this from now on.
