| This ending left me with a big smile, a one that I didn't have for a long time. Takemoto is a man among men now. I wish I could give it 8.5/10 but 9 would be too much since some parts were not that good but the last few episodes were 100/100 |
| pretty boring and anticlimatic, just like my life showcased through a twisted mirror and this is why i couldn't stand this reflection of myself seeing how there was no resolution. anyhow yeah. |
 |
| Takemoto and Shinobu were probably the only things that got me to finish the series. I really wish they could have expanded on Mayama's story though. |
 |
| Finally! Finally finally finally! Yuta my man, you finally broke the nothing! This was a fantastic series, and it hit close to home in many ways. I'm glad I finally decided to watch this after so many years, and quite honestly now was the best time in my life to see it. Now on to the next season! |

| Is it just me or did Hagu finally look just a little bit older in this episode? |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Wasn't a bad show, but pretty boring at times. I still hate Hagu and have no idea why everyone likes her. Originally wasn't planning on seeing the second season, but because I do like Takemoto a lot and enjoyed the last episodes because of him and I'm interested in Yamada's storyline, at some point might start watching the second season too. |
Raizel said: I wish I could give it 8.5/10 but 9 would be too much since some parts were not that good but the last few episodes were 100/100 I know what you mean, the last few episodes were just brilliant! A little uncertain on whether to rate this an 8 or a 9 too. But, like you said, some parts weren't particularly great so I'll stick with the 8 (8.40/10, to be precise). Takemoto's whole journey of self-realization and finding meaning was very enlightening and true. Of course I haven't been on a trek myself like this but I like how he's still searching for that "answer" and didn't really get much in return, just a sense of clarity. And a fit of courage too to go for the confession, which was really sweet. It's still a little hard to adjust to Hagu-chan's child-like characteristics and traits but I'm certainly enjoying her side of drama a lot as well. Morita-san, meanwhile, is ambiguous as ever but I feel like we're slowly getting to his arc. Lots of Questions surrounding him in particular, no wonder. Yamada-san, Mayama-san and Rika-san's drama has yet to be resolved either but I doubt we're going to be getting a full closure on this, anyway. Not everything in life ends up with a yes or no after all, as they say. I'm looking forward to seeing how Season 2 will handle this! Hanamoto-san was a real MVP of the show for me, by the way. I'm just hoping he won't get sidelined for Season 2 because these characters tend to often get such a treatment in future installations. Another department done well was definitely the Soundtrack/Music. If I'm not wrong, there's like an insert song every episode among which most were great company. Melodious tones coming from the instrumental versions were a real treat to the ears too. Animation Quality overall was really good too aside from the few sloppy mistakes here and there. Definitely aged well for me, as such. I was looking for a Drama like this for a while and I'm glad I got a spoonful of it towards the latter half. Looking forward to Season 2 which I'm thinking of starting on Monday evening thanks to the "Ultimate Anime Weekend" taking up a significant chunk of my time. |

| This anime is one of those which i loved the most surely this EP was amazing finally Takemoto confessed to Hagu-chan can't wait to watch S2 now. Overall 10/10 |
| 10/10 for me a gem ♡♡ great balance of comedy & drama, incredibly well-written ensemble of characters with great development, the pacing was always great & every episode had a very clear direction. the characters’ monologues were always so heartwrenching & real. takemoto was my favourite character right from the start, he is simply endearing. hagu got so pretty too (i'll admit her character design got some getting used to) the art & sound direction were amazing & aged well considering this aired in 2005, 15 years ago, yet i have no issue with the art at all, loved the art style & aesthetics. it was all so soft & pretty to look at, and so relaxing to watch. honey & clover has become one of my favourites, it has moved me greatly! |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Honestly , it would be much better without excessive romance elements and not needed relationships that didn't even progress that much. Hagu - Takemoto part is weird but only because of that Hagu's loli design , I doubt anyone can imagine her being a love interest or even imagine perceiving her as anything other than 12(at the start) and 14(at best in last episode).Seriously , short girl even by japanese standarts doesn't look like this IMO Hagu - Morita : what even is this dynamic? The relationships were more of a joke and I was fine with this , but then this unnecessary love story with no progression from both sides??? Mayama - Harada : barely any progression , but it is the most natural outcome I'd say , lots of good storytelling in the process. Mayama - Yamada : too much drama for practically 0 changes in Yamada's behaviour and attitude towards after Mayama after all the scenes and thing said to her. Nomiya - Yamada : almost instantly after a huge progression Nomiya became a side character once again :( Later episode were really good , especially those with Takemoto's inner thoughts , progression , a bit of Morita and no Yamada's crying scenes. 8/10 seems like a perfect score I guess |
| I hate everyone equally |
| I’m starting to like Takemoto now, he surely matured from that journey he had. Overall this season is really great. The story is wonderful and the story of each characters were relatable in different ways. I want to know more what will happen or what will still be in store for them. On to the next season! |
| I felt like it was very slightly rushed and not quite as deep as it could have been in some minor aspects, but it touched on so much it had to touch on in the right ways. I liked the aspects of romanticisms sprinkled here and there, like Takemoto's realization that never he nor his father ever left Japan. Reminded me of Fernweh, which is basically a more melancholic yearning for travel than Wanderlust, which is apparently a loanword. The scene of Takemoto reminiscing about his father and his promise to ride the train together overall was quite touching. The triumphant return of the King of adolescence (I enjoyed that running gag a lot) was also great. I like Takemoto growth and his own ignorance about it (I came back empy handed). The festival was all forms of great. It showed nicely that some things didn't change like Takemoto participating in the food hunt activity or still needing that little shove by best wing-man Mayama, because he is missing a tad of awareness, but also showed his new confidence in giving us that confession. I'm still not sure, if Hagu deflected, though, and am looking forward to that next season. |

| Takemoto finally confessed~! |
| I was reluctant whether I should watch it or not but man this was totally worth it. I haven't enjoyed a show like this in a long while. I wish newer shows could learn from this and provide some real quality and refined works like this. |
| The closer you get to the light,the greater your shadow becomes. |
| Really enjoyed it. Still shipping Yamada x Mayama although I know it seems that he will never love her...love is complicated. |
 |
| Wow... the story of Takemoto is truly a faithful display of a zero-to-hero transformation. Amazing work... just... wow. 100% What a great story. Truly touched my heart. |
| ngl that was a beautiful episode. Takemoto became a gigachad throughout his journey. I 100% believe Hagu-chan will love him too, if not now then at least by the end of the series. 7/10 great ending. I like how the whole show sort of meanders from one pov to another, almost like the romance itself. |
 |
| Wow. This episode tied it all together. I had to go back and read my manga to confirm that this is how it went. More or less the end of volume 7. A great ending. I had hoped the anime would go through all ten volumes. But now I am surprised to see that there is a Honey and Clover II that has another 12 episodes. So I guess I will get to see the entire thing animated. But this was great. Everything I could have hoped for. |
| At the end it feel like nothing much happened in this anime. 7/10 |
| 10/10. such a beautiful and brillaint series. i have a lot to say about this show, loved it a lot, loved how it made me feel but i can't or rather i'm too lazy to put it into words so i will just give this series the honour of adding it to my top 10. |
 |
| I really liked the first arc of this show. It was a mix of Gokinjo Monogatari and Sangatsu no Lion for me. But then it became very depressing and not in a good way with the love stories and what not. I thought it became dull because Morita wasn't there for the middle part, but even when Morita returned, it stayed dull. I really enjoyed the last few episodes with Takemoto and that was what made me realize that the show became dull because the clumsy, cheerful atmosphere that came was Takemoto wasn't there. Well, I started this show, so I have to finish it. What is 12 more episodes? |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
