| only this last episode kinda tripped me out but I still enjoyed the rest of the show I’m just glad she didn’t actually get raped |
 |

| Can't say I didn't see pure psycho in Shikijou's lifeless eyes from the get go...he just went full Shinkawa mode. Shock value episode for sure, didn't like the random powerpoint presentation by Yukimura. Also what's up with the love triangle?? I wish Yukimura and Himuro got officially together instead of that..it's so out of character for Himuro to be okay with that, after those episodes where she just got jealous of them hugging still 7/10 cant deny it was comedy gold |
| I hate these near rape attempt on anime. Like in SAO Gun Gale, Kokoro Connect, or Akashic Records. Its makes my heart hurts seeing it. Anyway, I kinda waited for Kanade to stole a kiss on Yukimura when he is trying untie her rope. She judo her instead lol. That was a cute ending. It was 6/10 the entire time but Ill give it a 7 because of episode 12. Now I need my two obligatory fan service filled OVA's episodes where they are on a hot spring and Kanade and Himuro are doing their best to seduct Yukimura. |

CHT13 said: What the hell did I just watch? That was a terrible way to end a season. Overall I was liking this season more than last season and I do like Kanade as a character but her arc this season was awful. The way this episode played out was so out of place and stupid I couldn’t believe they chose to end it that way. A fun romcom with a science theme turned into a crime drama written by a 12 year old. I couldn’t have said it better myself. I was shocked to see the sexual assault warning in the beginning, and I can’t believe that they ended it in a love triangle. Seriously, what was the whole point of this series if it ends like this, smh |
| With how the first half of the season was going, an Ena x Kosuke arc/finale would've been a natural ending that could've mirrored Ayame and Shinya in season 1. Unfortunately we got this rubbish instead. Not every character needs an arc, but if they insisted on giving Kanade one, then the solution is the love triangle they were setting up anyway. This arc was not necessary for that. She already liked Yukimura and was friends with Ayame before the arc. Nothing in it mattered or changed anything, and the final scene didn't require any of it. Edit: I was mistaken, she started liking him after he saved her. That was still absolutely not necessary for her to gain feelings for him. This show used to remind me of Horimiya with a main couple alongside side couples. It's fine if they wanted to focus more on Kanade, but this wasn't the way to do it. Can you imagine if Horimiya ended like this and then decided to tease a love triangle spurred on by Hori herself? (Spoilers for Ore Monogatari!) Rather than staying grounded, this show confidently decided to leap over the fucking shark. The science itself wasn't very impressive this season, but that was fine with the lighthearted, fun and romantic tone it had through episode 6. Then it took a hard right into bullshit so contrived I've read more realistic work on AO3. No, the show wasn't ever 'realistic', what with the talking bear and self-insert author writing the manga from within the story, but I can only suspend my disbelief so much and no longer trust the author to deliver a proper story. 4/10 |

| Well….that was uncomfortable… I really liked Kanade and wanted her to get a happy ending not…whatever this was. Setting up a harem is dumb because we all know Himuro is endgame for Yukimura and no amount of writing will convince me otherwise. This show is much better when trying to be a light comedy. Comfort viewing. The jarring change in tone this episode was just off-putting. |
| WHAT. THE. FUCK. WAS. THIS. Genuinely, how did this show go on such a ridiculous downward spiral to end up doing a GGO-esque ending? How did we go from a lighthearted comedic romcom to kidnapping and attempted rape? Who thought this was a good idea? Hell, who thought the Kanade arc was a good idea to begin with? Couldn't we have just focused on developing Kousuke and Ibarada's relationship instead? Or done more with Chris and Sui, by far the best things this second season added to the equation. Alternatively, if this was what was going to happen, why not end with episode 6 rather than continuing just for the sake of it. On top of it all, suddenly it's a fucking love triangle now? Seriously? Shitting the bed with this insane tonal whiplash is one thing, but trampling on the show's premise and best aspect too? What the actual fuck were the writers smoking? This is perhaps one of the absolute worst final episodes to an anime I have ever seen: capping off a terrible arc with some insane tonal whiplash, while also retroactively ruining a large part of what made the show so likeable to begin with. Still, I'll give the season as a whole a 6/10 cos the first half was excellent and Chris and Sui were great additions to the cast. |
| I finally finished this one lol I have mixed feelings, the series did truly well in this season up to episode 6, as some people already pointed out. But things got way out of hand by the time the Kanade arc started... It basically transitioned into a harem show if this goes on, which is 'new' to me, in the sense that an 'established' couple accepts competition lol I like the idea of this transition but not the execution. This episode is one of the worst final episodes I have ever seen :/ |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| Broooo, I was watching this show because of its comedy how the hell this become this dark man, my poor girl Kanade, and what the hell with kanade man rapist are standing front of her and she is crying on the topic that she is not normal girl! What the hell. For this unexpected dark turn this season is 5/10 for me. |
| Can't stop laughing on this episode. Just imagine how Yukimura managed to clutch the situationz and that presentation out of nowhere, one of the best. It's also unexpected that Kanade is now inlove with Yukimura, can't say I like it as of now. |
| Genre of the anime suddenly shifted, it seems.. At least a thriller, if not something more precise.. No idea, if anime will be more like this in the future, or if this is exception.. |
| Ooo, impressions. This show really seems like it deserves it, so here goes.. Honestly, not surprised that Kanade is another love interest. While there wasn't anything explicit, she always just felt sort of "there". Not that I disliked her but they needed to do something with her and I assumed she would also like Yukimura. Unlike seemingly everyone else here, I didn't dislike the last episode, I disliked how it was handled. I didn't like how Kanade reacted after the thugs attacked. I didn't like how she just sat there and watched everything unfold. I didn't like how they focused so much on the violence and the sexual assault. I didn't like how Kanade responded after the incident (or Himuro) and also was not happy with how they handled her "love" confession. As for the supposed love triangle, I agree with an earlier comment. I wouldn't be surprised if next season they refute her love by using a series of proofs. But I also could see them keeping the love triangle. I feel like it's a bit unfair to Kanade because she does seem like a genuinely good character and the Yukimura/Himuro pair is so strong. I wish she found someone else. I guess the author did it because they felt like the Yukimura/Himuro pairing was getting a bit stale. Shows like this, once they hit the kiss, don't take the relationship much further (sexually, mentally, emotionally, etc). I think that's a shame because what it built up was quite good and it could have been expanded upon other relationship challenges. I also would have liked Kanade to experience this and grow, not relying on her "love" for Yukimura to have any substance.. All-n-all, I rather enjoyed the show despite some of the sloppy bits of execution. I would watch a season 3 to see where it goes. Season 1 was better but overall I enjoyed this. 8/10 |

| I wish theres a 3rd season , im not against harem involving science , it didnt sell well Kanade was bare legs both seasons , and now that are legs are everywhere , they are covered ! Sometimes this anime have no logic 😓 Swagernator said: Well shit. The second season went right into the dirt once the whole Kanade part started, which was weird as heck and out of place for this kind of show, even the dude turning psycho out of nowhere, literally last second, and now kidnaping ... Would be much better if they just stick to what they did best ... big tits, tight thighs, gay jokes or have Himuro in sexy police outfit, thats this anime's place .. and not this pretantious drivel. Oh well, i guess we cant all have what we wants. Was this last episode supposed to be dramatic ? No the last ep was the scientific resolution to the kanade emotions problems , the whole anime is about that , science no matter how much it cost or how wrong it is , thoses scientist are just mad about science , theirs brains is like 99% of science and 1% that isnt science cause it cant be controled by science To explains things an other way , the question was , What is normality ? And kanade had to answer it , but to explain why thoses guy behavior saying its normal to act like that , she ended up understanding that being normal depend on who is concerned , that theres nothing wrong to be normal in front of ppls that you want , but theres nothing wrong to be strange in front of ppls youwant too Thoses guys attacking her was only part of the science experiment made by the story of the anime |
Loli world is just a cute world full of cute meat |
| I just hate that kanade becomes yukimura harem, Yukimura and Homura are already become couple wtf. Why she doesnt get back catching her teacher again? I usually like harem anime, but this series romantic writing since s1 is already focused using '1-1 couple' method which doesnt make sense suddenly throwing harem there. |

| As much of an oddball intellectual Yukimura is he can surprisingly take a beating pretty well. But yeah this episode was a tonal 180. |
| First half of this season was great, actually even better than season 1. In the second half they dropped the ball a bit, but this episode was the worst Rikekoi episodes of both seasons. They really should've ended it at episode 6, then I would actually have preferred this season to the first one. 7/10 |
| Definitely better than the first season, but I still can't buy the constant stream of analytical presentations and word-by-word descriptions of various phenomena (some of which were more pseudoscientific than others) with a complete suspension of disbelief, especially when they show up in scenes where you wouldn't think they'd be the first priority. Perhaps I'm just not "getting" the gimmick of the anime, and thus I'm not giving it a fair shake, but there's a conscious effort it makes to disrupt its own tone, mood, and atmosphere that makes it difficult to resonate with for a viewer like me. |

| damn can't quote posts on this site anymore that's crazy. anyway, as written by @MiaAyende: As I'm sitting here trying to de-tense, I'm thinking about how it might've been done better...hit similar beats without totally breaking the tone of the show and making me just generally feel bad about having watched it... I think a better way this ep could have gone would be to have Kanade turn the dude down, then the dude freaks out a bit and gets grabby, she flips him, he gets up and goes to grab her again...and then you have Yukimura step in to "rescue" her...and he tells her to stop apologizing to this guy who's trying to attack her, and then dude starts beating up Yukimura...so then Kanade finally steps up and beats the psycho up...police show up & arrest him, but Yukimura ends up in the hospital...and when he finally wakes up, both Kanade and Himuro are there watching over him...and the first thing he does is his presentation on why Kanade's brand of non-normal is fine. Then you could have close to the same scene with Kanade hurting him while asking him why he's like this, and still wrap up with the "let's make it harem-esque" ending. I think that'd be way less out of left field, but still keep a bit more seriousness, as well as being more in line with what we've seen for Kanade up til now and letting her just be a stronger character... old post but i actually REALLY like what you did with the episode here, beat for beat. such a massive step up in comparison to the unnecessarily heavy (and just downright awful) episode we ended up getting. Yukimura is an incredibly self-serious and often insensitive dork, but he does genuinely mean well and i think this setup shows his sympathetic side really nicely. as well as just letting Kanade be a stronger character like you say (instead of it being the, what, fourth damsel-in-distress situation in the series so far? goddammit.) i don't like that Shikijou turned out to be completely evil, it's just super lazy writing - but taking that for granted i still think this concept could have made for a really good last episode |

| Wow, this episode and Kanade normalcy arc made me feel so uncomfortable. It seemed so out of character for the series before this arc. And then the potential “love triangle” at the end was so ick as well. Episode 6 would have been a great ending or the ending of season 1 could have been a great series ending, too. |
| It was very frustrating to see Kanade looking for excuses to feel worthy of an abuse punishment when she was taught self-defense for years, but it seems that the script forced her to be the classic damsel in distress who can't defend herself and must be rescued by the boy that he likes A horrible season finale, and they probably won't publish a third season. |
| Finally this girl realize what she said. She just need to be honest. For me Kanade is kinda annoying. And that pro chemistry senpai lecture that brats. What kind of plot is this. Okay show after all. |
