It was good but eto.. not a good ending.

Final episode was mediocre to good. The series was certainly refreshing, didn't try to impress the audience and mixed in the characters rather well. 8/10 because I constantly enjoyed the atmosphere and it made me laugh.

Rates 7/10. It was ok. The ending satisfied me.

13 episodes IS JUST ENOUGH. I can't even think of how they can make the series lively more than that. It's better this way.

Oh I'm too loyal to chihiro for my own good.
.
Damn, why, did he have to crossdress again? =3=
That kind of.. Really made this episode lose its point D:
Oh well, Satou saves the day.
But, not enough.
Now I'm having qualms as to whether or not to lower this to 7 D:
I'll just let this stay at 8.

Also. How come they did some subtle adding of Maya up until now, and then suddenly decide to add like.. 2 whole minutes in the last episode? xD... Oh well, season 2, anyone? Or I'll.. Have to.. Pick up the manga : / ..Maybe?
Maybe I don't?


And I didn't realize ths until now, but.. The stars sparkling arond Souma's head every now and then, are actually black. ^^; Gee I wonder why~ : D
MVP's (P? Should Be C for Character though xD): Satou and Souma.

Lastly;

Finally gotten my hands on Chihiro's subs. An anti-climatic ending, but it was pretty much to be expected. Still, it's one of the few series I enjoyed better this season.

Checked up on Maya's voice long before I watched this episode, I'll have to say even though my little dream of having the few seiyuus I had in mind to voice her didn't come true, her voice fits her personality pretty well, so no real complains there.

Would've given it about 6 or 7 based on the ending, but thanks to all the laughs the show's given me, this gets an 8. I'm feeling tempted to give the show a 9 thanks to Maya... But oh well, guess I shan't be biased here, even though I've been waiting for her introduction ever since she appeared on the official website...

And like many others said, there's quite a lot more materials from the manga to be used, so a season 2 should be expected.

I'm a big fan of slice-of-life anime, and the slow pace of "Working!!" doesn't bother me at all. Sure, this series doesn't have a much of a plot and some of the gags seem a little contrived, but that is part of it's charm.

Slice-of-life is a study in the way people behave... how they interact with each other. This story doesn't have stereotypes, and set against typical anime, this is really refreshing!

I'd also like congratulate the animator of the scene at the beginning, where Inami is checking her hair in the mirror before closing the window. That was beautifully drawn and the movement was nuanced and absolutely perfect!

I'm going to give this series 8/10 as a result. I hope Aniplex make another series.

Should have ended with Inami and Takanashi, ofcourse. I had pictured something after the cute scene, like:

'The sun's setting in.'
'Yes...'
'Shall I walk you home?'
And then Inami hesitatingly grabs Takanashi's end during the walk, making him blush. A classic, but it would've satisfied me big time.

Though this ending wasn't too bad. If I recall correctly, in the ending scene Inami also greets a pair of MALES, which is unique. Thinking about it now, it's nice to see how she grew, first loathing, but after their date, she can actually handle them.

After all, this ending was good, but it left me longing for more. Season 2, here we come!

Series get a well-deserved 9/10. Nice jokes, cute art, good background music, EXTREMELY cute OP, and a beautiful story with a very lovely pairing. I absolutely loved it.

All the emotional build up made last episode went to hell.
Inami who was becoming likable to me simply returned to her position as one of the most annoying heroines of anime.

She made no progress at all.
Actually, she almost got worse.
Before she wouldn't hit Takanashi if he was crossdressing...

Actually...

The second I saw Takanashi crossdressing, I knew this episode would be bad... It really ruined the mood for me. Overall the series was bad, but not horrible, so 4/10 and inb4S2.

It takes a 7/10 from me since much of the other characters were very enjoyable.

Jun, Poplar, Yamada and Takanashi's sisters were very good characters.
IMO Jun was so far the most mature male character i've ever seen in anime. It kind of freaks me out noticing something like this =\

I liked this series a lot. I don't know why, but maybe the characters' strangeness reminded me of me.

I feel so empty now that the anime has ended. Maybe I should read the manga.

I'll give it an 8/10. Not really sure if it deserves this high, but too lazy to think about it right now.

Wasn't that great of a last episode. I was expecting more laughs, honestly.


Working's biggest fault, IMO, was its constant focus on Inami and Takanashi. Now, I wasn't exactly an Inami hater, as there were some funny moments with her and Takanashi - the Magic Hand was a great gag, for one. What's more, when it was revealed that her father had psychologically scarred her as a child, I sympathized with her, and it had the added effect of explaining her "condition." I just wish they could've focused on the other characters more often. Satou, Kyouko, Yachiyo, and Poplar were always overshadowed by Inami, which was a shame. More focus on Takanashi's sisters would've been nice too.


Still the best comedy of the spring season, along with Arakawa Under the Bridge. 8/10

Working!! was my favorite anime of Spring 2010. It wasnt the best, Angel Beats was, but Working was definitely up there. And this anime was for the comedy aspect, so I would never complain about there being no relationship between Inami and Takenashi. I mean think about it, if they ended up together then that would reduce so much of the comedic aspect that could possibly happen in a 2nd season. They did the right thing in not ending them up together. I hope for a 2nd season badly.
10/10 for me
And why would people criticize the plot? Its a slice of life/comedy. Its not supposed to have a plot

Yamada intentionally spilling water to him lol -cute voice there
Satou resorting to violence
Kid's meal
Annoying Maya or not

*Satou bullying Taneshima should be focused too hehe
*Takanashi should be able to dodge Inami's punches since it was like everyday started at episode 2
*Half of the series was focus on Inami's androphobia, I guess, Working!! Phobia should be the title lol
*I love Yamada and Kozue tandem

Ending is Meh.. Inami being on a half of the series was just a waste

7/10 not for Inami

Well, there shouldn't be a plot.. but look at Inami lol and you know why people hated it

At episode 11 I think... the part when Takanashi and Inami are going home (scaring part).. Inami was holding Taka's arm..

um, if they don't i guess this ending is pretty.. bad actually, since nothing really happened. whatever, SEASON 2 PLEASE!

Didn't really like the final episode.. maybe I missed an episode but I had no clue who maya was so it was a bit annoying she was taking up screen time.

Overall, I liked the series though, and it really made me laugh at some points.

Maya finally talks!
Yamada and Souma were great as usual.
The date wasn't what i expected it to be, i wish he wouldn't have cross-dressed, the episode was OK for me.
This series started out great but to me towards the end it concentrated too much on Inami and the others were somewhat left out for my tastes, which was rather disappointing \>.<'/

Well i give this a 8/10, i was going to give it a 9 but as i said above....

Heres hoping for season 2!

I have to say that I had a lot of fun with this series and don't actually like that fact. The ending was just horrible, I can't a find a better word to describe it. For the last few episodes it seemed that we were building up for something, even if it wasn't the direction I favored. I have to say, I didn't really like the whole InamixTakanashi thing, I was on board the TaneshimaxKatanashi one until we were swallowed by some mysterious fog only to be never heard of again. The cast was great, so wasting so much time and focus on the Mahiru girl that would in the end have zero effect was not a good decision in my opinion. Not one single issue was solved, no matter how much emphasis was put on it, I'm really, really disappointed.

Yamada and Matsumoto were definitely the highlights of this train-wreck finish.

I'm giving the episode 2/5 and the series a 6. If it wasn't for the last three episodes, it might have gotten a 7 or an 8, it had a lot of potential to be good. I'm really angry that this is what it turned out to be.
