THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Just saw this last episode RAW. Everything was pretty much predictable. So, you dont really need to watch this last episode, the ending is funny and might be a bit... not for minors XD

It's finally the last episode - there were some more predictable episodes earlier, so this one is not too bad^^

number 596 in presenting order .. omg that party is too superlatively
Blondie and his partners act like small brats.. why does Yuuto get depressed about stupid people like him -_-'
The Sanzenin grandfather clone was Haruka's grandpa, kinda expected since he couldn't be someone else.
LOL, I would have never expected they go like H-scene in the end.. Mika and the others eavesdropping should be obvious, including mother and grandfather xD

When I saw the preview for this series, I thought it will be exciting but then there was a huge potential to fail such an animation by omitting the plot and putting too much effort in fanservice.
The first some episodes showed that this show could do better. But after this there were some very boring episodes, what was to make up with the final 2. The end was well done, so I'll give it 7/10 points.

Yea, the last ep was pretty predictable. It went almost exactly as I thought it would except that I was expecting the party to drag out longer so that he wouldn't give Haruka her present until the very end of the episode. Defintely liked the series tho, I hope it comes out on english dvd soon ;)

Just this RAW! The ending not for minors????LOL at the ending cause it WAS NOTHING! Anyways, it was good! I HATED the piece of crap Blondie that almost CRUSHED Yuuto's present. BTW WTF AND WTH was the point of the rainbow eel to censor the kiss??? What the?????

It was a good thing that father punched his own stupid son! The father freaking out on Yuuto after finding out the kiss was PRICELESS! Better run really FAST Yuuto!

The grandfather turns out to be Haruka's father's father. COOL! He sure saved Yuuto's ass then again Yuuto did help him.

HAPPINESS TO ALL WITH THESE MEMORIES UNTIL SUBS COME OUT:
The parody of queen, king and PRINCESS.

THOSE TWO! SOME MUCH TROUBLE THIS TIME! TOO MANY PEOPLE LOOKING AT THEM!

I HATE THIS PART SOOOOOOO MUCH, I WOULD PUNCH BLONDIE RIGHT AWAY!

THANK GOD SOMEONE PUNCHES BLONDIE! THANK YOU LORD FOR JUSTICE IS SERVED!

NOGIZAKA YOUNG IS SOOOOOOO KAWAIIIIII!

THIS IS THE KISS BUT WHYYYYYY IS IT BLOCKED BY THE EEL???


See in subs time.

kiss block by the rainbow snake lol, overall a nice serie , was very enjoyable. not that much of a great story but many elements like cospplay,or otaku reference make it really special.
after haruka i really started to like mai goto, her onii-chan is awesome, i heard a lot but i think this was the best though :3

Nothing really special about the ending, but enjoyable series indeed.
I loved all the parodies, and I'm a sucker for almost any anime with an otaku character.

angel999, your way of writing makes my eyes bleed. Is the caps lock REALLY NECCESSARY??!??!?!?!??


The final episode was just like the rest of the show, unoriginal and predictable. Wanna count clichés?

- Total pansy gets to know the untouchable school idol by a stupid coincidence
- Protagonist actually met the girl before when they were kids
- Girl's parents are incredibly rich and live in a giant mansion in the hills
- Yakuza-like father opposes the bonding between boy and daughter
- Mother keeps father in check and supports bonding
- Slacker grandfather helps out the pansy protagonist too, of course "undercover" (Yeah right, because we didn't know from the second he showed up that he was the grandfather)
- Boy lives with his "hilarity ensues because they are drunk" sisters (of course he cooks, cleans, etc)
- Terminator maid

It goes on and on... How many times have you seen this shit before? Is some "moe" really all it takes for you to enjoy a show?

By the time I wrote this, 1846 users had rated this an average of 7.88. I don't know how this is possible. Do they have a different scale, rating from 7 (Abomination) to 10 (Masterpiece)? That would certainly explain the score.

I for one use the full 1 to 10, and because I somehow didn't hate this show during the first episodes I'm giving this a 3/10.

The last episode was predictable, but I like how the rich dude got owned. :)

@woop: OK, so you hated the show, but not all of us did. So many shows today use cliches as well. I mean, I expected the show to be cliche from the start, and I'm sure you did as well. No need to lash out at people just because they enjoyed the show while you didn't.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

let me just ask one thing .... u dont like Lucky Star n such right ?
(and to laugh u went into the basement ?) whatever ^^at first of ur misunderstandings .... the show IS a clichee cause u should laugh over them its called satiric ... u know what it is ?
u can call Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu an anime/manga satire thats why u find all the clichees exaggerated like the main character itself as a over-MOE-d character.

i give this show a 11/10 xD

I don't know how Lucky Star is related to this? It has nothing to do with my enjoyment (or lack of enjoyment) of this show. And yes I know what satire is, but it seems you don't. Here, read this.

No need to give me shit just because I don't like this anime.

The episode before this was terrible and I thought they could salvage it... I was wrong. So completely terribly wrong that I am still in a state of shock. The ending sequence... I wanted to skip ahead, once again.... just like episodes 10 and 11.

Amazingly great story until the episode 10. An okay story until episode 11. Completely forgettable by episode 12. In the end, I can't say I'm glad I watched this show. Watching a show that was perfectly executed so early on go to trash was... well... painful. And I mean that quite literally. *pops a couple aspirin*

I think the writers discussed it and said, "Really, we have got to stretch this out. If we show the full lip-lock in the final episode, we'll have nowhere to go in the second season."

Which is a little disappointing to me, because boys and girls sometimes manage to have interesting, dramatic emotions in the months and years following the first kiss. Fixating on the first kiss takes away from the depth and makes the characters flatter.

Oh, well, there will be other shoujo shows ... this show was fairly entertaining. Definitely not a deep and thought-provoking anime, more like a "Gee, that voice actress sounds cute" anime.

qft!

I wasn't expecting a work of high art. This show was enjoyble to watch, that's all. I had a good time watching it and would downld the next epi as soon as it was availible, so proof that I was eager to see it.

Cliche? Of course! Moe dependent? You bet! But it was still fun.

Ending disappointed me more then I expected it to do.
If they are going to mix some comedy into an anime like this, then I'd like my ending scene without some people interrupting because they were eavesdropping and suddenly falling in the room because of that. And some water snake suddenly swimming into the picture just when the protagonists are finally kissing isn't necessary as well.

The story was pretty much nothing special really, filled with every cliche such a show can have.
Yet I still quite enjoyed this and will therefore give it a 7 over a 6 out of 10.

Someone PLEASE explain something to me. Why the F*&% is it that 97% of romance anime either doesn't end up with a kiss at all at the end or its censored like it was here? I mean I can list 20 shows off the top of my head where this happens! What the freaking hell? It's such a miserable way to end a series and it happens aaaaall the time! Is Kimikiss Pure Rouge just a fluke or am I missing something here?

Because without a kiss you leave open a chance for a second season with the "big kiss" scene. Plus, correct me if I'm wrong, but a kiss in Japan is a bigger deal than it is in the West.

pretty good ending, a little cliche, but good nonetheless

Haruka's outfit was cute
the cake was a lie, and was huge
i liked yuuto screaming "HARUKA< HAPPY BASUDAY"
Yuuko's sister and teacher are awesome drunks
Blond Ass ass is an ass
he even stepped on clumsy aki chan :(
umm... they exaggerate a lot on presents
yuuto's depression was easily dominated by gramps
and he stepped on the blonde shit, yay
i loved his expression when haruka was happy, and gendou shook his hand xD
lol at the blond getting punched xD
bed scene was really nice
made me feel like i was watching an h-scene
yuuto finally realizes that he is the kid that started haruka's ambition
umm.... LUCKY YUUTO
why censored kiss.. why god why?
but, at least we know that they finally CHUU'd
i lol'd at the mother eavesdropping with the whole family xD
and even the father, haha, so, yuuto and haruka now hold hands while running away from crying yakuza father.... cute
mika's outfits in the end were cute
and umm.. second season plz?

I am curious if they did kiss or not. I'm assuming really close? The dad going bonkers and the rich son's dad losin' it was a nice add on too! ^_^

Or maybe they put his hand(s) in a place thats not suitable for PG-13 :D. From the way that scene was going, it looked like they where planning to have sex right then and there.

Overall I'm happy with how the show went, although I do agree with the person that mentioned that the plot changed. Going into this show I was expecting more of the "We have to keep my anime obsession a secret from everyone" and less "Lets go on random dates and get watched by my sister and two maids". I think it would have been more interesting if it was more like that, o well.
