| They went all out in this episode finale with a band performance. Sheer entertainment and Sarah managed to graduate just after 3 months after enrollment! Impressive. Livia is still an object of Noa's affections. That got awkward even for her LOL. Fun finale/show. |
 |
| Sara's an all-natural whn it comes to Valentine's Day chocolates, and Nakagawa earns her own fans as well since the last time with increasing popularity. Also, both Brenda and Haruka missed the mark of trying to get their love across to Sosuke lols. Puriketsu, Livia and Noa's band is ready to go for their first-ever concert performance. Also, Liviaa going gambling at her usual pachinko store...that entire scene was ripped from real life, with the anime flare added, I thought that it was a really nice touch. Alas, her being so engrossed at playing...resulted in her almost being late for the small gig where both Puriketsu and Noa were relentlessly waiting for her. And to go from a small gig to a full-fledged concert, the 3 girls are eating good, earning themselves a major debut with their Grasshopper the Savior name. But apart from Noa almost having her way with Livia, her getting arrested for insider trading, what an end lols. Sosuke attending Sara's graduation...to hearing the amazement of both the students and parents of the elementary school and hearing all of the weird stories about her, she may have only been there for 3 months, and turning her representative speech into an idol song...what the hell lols, but it's a memorable end for all. Too bad that this is the end of Grasshopper the Savior for both Livia and Puriketsu, and Brenda taking on Noa's case (and then passing that job to Sosuke) for the detective stuff, it's just natural in the small town of eccentrics. Yomi Hirasaka just does NOT miss, Salad Bowl is such a fun show, just like Hanagai and ImoSae. His 3rd success show, the novelist is destined for anime greatness...of which this would be his last, but hopefully not so. |

| Final time seeing the goddess that is Livia... very sad. The girls' band Salvation Grasshopper, consisting of Livia, Noa, and Priketsu, finally begins full-fledged activities. The band quickly gains popularity. On the other hand, Sosuke attends Sara's graduation ceremony, who graduated just three months after enrolling. Sitting quietly without much emotion, Sosuke awaits what awaits him. Good for Yuna to see she's rather popular in her school apparently. Seems she'll make due without Sara in her school rather well for now. Speaking of Sara and school, poor Sosuke was STRESSING during her graduation speech holy fuck LMAOOO. Also good to see that Brenda's making some progress slowly but surely with Sosuke... lol. Someone needs to stop this man Yomi because the man DOES NOT MISS. This is now his THIRD success, and I'd say it's on the same level, if not better than Imouto Sae. Funniest show of the season no lie. I NEED A SEASON TWO PLEASE. |
 |
| Things where finally looking bright for Livia but it wasn't meant to be well she can probably go to the top ones again, all in time. Sara's school was something else they were obsessed with her. And it's a shame that brenda didn't get her feelings across they would have made a nice couple. |
| Oh... it's already end... I'll miss this show a lot... |
 |
| Indeed a salad bowl of eccentrics. As the eccentricity wasn't enough all this time they went all out in the last ep. And that machine in pachinko was real lmao. Really a good ep it was Hoping for a season 2 |
| Initially I thought it would be just a mediocre Hinamatsuri, but a Salad Bowl of Eccentrics was surprisingly fun. Not a single episode failed to make me laugh. S2 would be indeed nice(first Hinamatsuri pls) |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
It was super cute. Livia with her usual ups and downs. lol I really liked it 💕 |
| One of the biggest surprises of spring for me and I’m really sad to see this ended. This is what I wanted Sasapii to be. Sara, Livia, Brenda, all amazing characters and my Thursdays are gonna be a lot worse off without them 😢 Eccentric(pun intended) finale that really had everything that makes this series so awesome. Just non stop laughs, twists and ridiculousness. Moment of silence for Brenda making all that chocolate to give to sosuke just for him to say he already has too much chocolate 😭 poor thing does her best, I’m rooting for her! Lmao Sara really runs that school man. That wasn’t no graduation ceremony, that was a personal send off for Sara sama and a concert debut. The parents standing up and hyping her up more than their own kids got me dying. Speaking of concerts, Grasshopper Savior’s debut was one for the ages. Animation was almost nonexistent during it, but I can live with that since this isn’t a musical anime. The twist after the concert though holy shit! First of all, I thought Noa was gonna go all the way either Livia. But for her to be interrupted by none other than the police and arrested for INSIDER TRADING blew my mind. I’ve never even seen that in an anime. Her whole identity and backstory was a lie?? The author of this really brings in some cool concepts lmao. But wait, Brenda is her lawyer??? And she calls her sensei?!! WHAAAT Finale was as crazy as anything in this series. I absolutely loved every moment of this show and I am extremely sad to say goodbye to it. |

| Bro I was about to explode when Noa got arrested and the ed started playing. Like this has got to be the most random ending ever. I'm assuming Brenda gets her out fine though most random thing to add literally at the end of the show. My favourite part overall was seeing Livia's life it was far more interesting than Sara's I thought she had a really good dynamic with Noa. I totally ship Sousuke X Brenda and Livia X Noa |
| The show had its moments but IMO overall it's "ok I guess..." This is a "bit more boring Hinamatsuri". 7/10 seems fair to me. |
| They even got real life footage of pachinko lmao If this does get a S2 I hope we see them eating salad |
| When is the second serving of salad bowl coming? |
| Please tell me this will get an S2. |
| Lol, they literally wrote Noa's position in the group as a manipulator and leader of a religious cult?! No wonder the police found her so quickly lmao. Typical anime with Kantoku art. A crazy mixture of absolutely delusional developments along with unexpectedly realistic and deconstructed moments. I really enjoyed this show, especially because of the nostalgic touches reminiscent of silly comedies from the 00s. @Marinate1016 It was pretty obvious that Noa was, to put it mildly, "extremely overexcited" about Livia, but after this scene I'm wondering how far the author intended to go with it. In general, yuri subplots are pretty typical for any Kantoku LN. |

| the funniest anime in the summer season 2024 fr fr. still hoping that this gets a season 2, it's a very underrated show. |
| That graduation scene was a riot, I laughed so freaking hard 😭 |
| This show was an absolute hidden gem. I never thought that a series about a princess from a fantasy world could be so human and so close to us. A little bit of here, a little bit of there, stories of people whose paths are directly connected but still go their own way, a little bit like life. The show had a bit of a calm, relaxed touch - and was also extremely entertaining at the same time. Since the ratings weren't that great, I doubt we'll ever get a second season - although the cliffhanger makes me curious to see how and if Brenda will help Noa out of trouble. I'm going to miss this show so much. Sasouke, Sara, "Priketsu", Brenda, Noa ... and especially our good Livia. With her optimistic and honest nature, she was a great asset to the spring season. If I'm ever in Gifu, I'll definitely pay them a visit. |
| And so we end with Valentines, graduation songs, and a short-lived music career. Of all the shows I watched this season this was probably the one that surprised me the most in regards to actual content. The main underlying theme of this was the subversion of expectations. You can find a microcosmic example with the little kids during the graduation talking about divorce and NEETS and whatnot. This show loved taking serious topics and playing with them through cutesy characters. It was successfully amusing for the most part. Coincidentally enough the only character I actually found myself disliking was Noa, who went to prison. It was great. I like to think she'll stay there but if there's another season I'm sure I'll be disappointed. If I had things my way the Noa character and religious cult plotline wouldn't have even been in the show. Livia would've hung around with homeless writer dude more instead, but at least they did bring him back near the end after disappearing for several episodes. But I'm rambling. Uh...yeah, not bad. Solid 7/10, needed more Conan references in the second half. |
| It's a hidden gem; it's pretty funny, and overall, it's really enjoyable to watch. |

Who is this? I don't remember anyone from the show resembling her |

| @_zilly_ Your image is not loading for me, but I'm assuming it's the girl in the wheelchair in the ending montage? I have no idea, I'm 99% sure she wasn't in the show. |
| Average MAL user's media literacy: Marinate1016 said: Not reading allat cause I don’t care. Tensura peak. Have a good one tho |
| My 274th completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it a 6/10 rating. |
| Series was pretty decent, nothing too outstanding in terms of story but the characters were enjoyable. |
| Poor loli lawyer spent one month with the damn chocolate only to be beaten by Yuna (and Sara) again lol. That real life Pachinko machine xD. Sara's graduation scene had me rolling, it was so fucking funny lmao. By the way, Sara's type sounded pretty specific.... Usagi Drop here we go? I was so weirded out by how far the band had gotten... until Noa was arrested out of nowhere. Now that made more sense haha. Man, I loved this final episode. There's no better way to say goodbye to this series than with an episode as fun as this one. Now, with that said, I am conflicted about this series. On the one hand, it was really fucking funny and wholesome but on the other hand I was never a fan of Livia being left on her own. I mean, nothing really BAD happened to her but I feel like the show was unnecessarily harsh on her. I don't know, it certainly added to the fun but it never sat well with me. Then there are characters that I liked more than others. Sousuke and Sara were my favorite side, I also liked the loli lawyer, I didn't like Haruka but with the lawyer they made a fun pair. Then there's Noa, who I thought was pretty creepy, but she seems to get a pass because she's a cute girl and in the end, adds to the fun too I guess. Oh well, despite my disagreements with this series, I had fun, I had a lot of fun to be honest. It also had one of my favorite OPs of the season and the ED was pretty nice too. A season 2 would be nice. |
| That graduation was amazing. And of course they had to sneak in that romantic tease right at the end, lol. I ship it. |
| Why is everything I've watched of Yomi Hirasaka, at least a 9/10? Crazy consistency. His comedy is really quite distinct IMO, maybe not as closely connected comedically as Haganai and Imouto sae Ireba Ii were, but his works definitely all feel incredibly personal and original. |
| got arrested? What a weird ending. I like Haganai (1st) by the same author, but this show was too ridiculous. also I don't like isekai elements so much. |
| Wanted to mention too that the highlight of this last episode was as least there was a little hint and move forward toward the potential advancement of the Sousuke and Sara relationship in the romantic direction in the future, which was/is the emotional core and bedrock of this show for me. Hopefully they manage to continue to have a complex and beautiful relationship and eventually become a "thing" in that sense too, even if it's only left in written form in the light novels and/or manga, and that content doesn't make it into anime form (if there is never a second season or there is, but it still doesn't cover that). Just knowing the romantic candle burns fiercely underneath it all and that's a possibility to be revisited and followed up on is enough! As far as other events, not that it made the episode in itself bad, but the only thing I was disappointed on in terms of a plot development (kind of close to the exact opposite of my feelings toward the subtle advancement of the Sousuke-Sara ship) was Noa being apprehended. Hopefully she can be liberated from confinement soon, even if it entails the lawyer and/or private investigator (Sousuke) pulling every trick in the book including anything underhanded. Pains me to see someone like Noa in captivity and not free. A beautiful dynamic creature whose wings must spread. On the outside (outside of prison) the possibilities are limitless for someone like her. She probably just got sloppy in covering her tracks. |
