I know!We didn't even get to see THAT scene>_< Anyway i agree.Nice effort but:2nd season NAO kkthnxbb I've noticed that when the episode ended,at the end of the screen they put a "Next stage is...".Does that mean that there's hope for a 2nd season?Onegai...~! |
| That 'Next Stage Is....' thing was like a cruel teaser! Still, it was great to see Ren realize a bunch of things he wished he hadn't, lol. And manager at the convenience store was hilarious :D |

| we many not get it tho.... but if we will, it'll probably be a while from now but let's take into account that we might not get it D= i don't get why since the show is so popular... let's just hope that fellow japanese fans gather behind the producers to make 'em continue... |
| i thought their was one more episode 26 their should be anyways |
 The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven. |
| i feel that "The Next Stage Is..." is a hint for the future. +.+ |
 |
| The start of the second season will not disappoint anyone. Specially when Terrible place to stop but at least they didn't screw up. Now to wait for June I suppose.. |
| I'm glad they didn't screw around with the story, this feels like a strong indication that there will be a second season, or at least that they *want* to make a second season. I'm satisfied with that. |
| The ending is what stopped me from putting this on my favorites. If there is a second season, which this ending STRONGLY pointed to, then I may just put it in there. But the terrible way it wrapped up made me knock down the score for the anime a bit. Endings are important! =) |
 |
| Bad ending. >_> Yeah, Kyouko is changing; WE SRSLY DIDN'T KNOW THAT, lol. They have to make a 2nd season. They HAVE to. Guess we'll have to wait till the summer... Or fall - nooo! |
| Fuck, If there isnt a second season ill forever be lost in despair. Goddamn. |
     |
| I was totally not happy with that :(...I want 2nd season. *sobs in a corner* |
| Well they ended it at exactly chapter 66 out of the 130+ chapters that are out, so i guess it pretty safe to assume they're gonna make a second season. Though I gotta agree, for an ending this was pretty lame. The anime didn't succeed in making that meeting scene nearly as dramatic as it was in the manga. Luckily, the story gets a lot better in later on so the anime shouldn't be able to screw it up. Hopefully the animation and sound improve too as well (cause this season it was average at best) |

| i rated the whole series lower because the last four episodes were full of nothing and they didn't show THE SCENE. gahh i'm so pissed! how hard would it have been to include it!? and apparently we're not getting season 2 for a while due to budget cuts, if we get one at all. |
Translucent said: ...WTF T_T I DEMAND A SEASON TWO D:< I was like "WOOOOOOOOOOOT" when I saw "The next stage is..." ...then I saw THE END おわり THERE MUST BE A SECOND SEASON I will curl up in a corner and cry it one isn't announced soon x_x *joins translucent-san in crying* |
| Had me laughing as much as ever, especially those great lines from Ren... 'Being taught what love is by a chicken...', 'You sound like a yazuka trying to broker a marriage scam.' and 'Go for it!' XD But there's no avoiding the fact that this was a non-final episode and they really have to do a second season to justify ending at this point... please!!! :'/ Overall 10/10, one of my favourites from the last two seasons.. it will be missed! :) |
 |
| eh. basically as everyone else said. 2nd season would be for the best. well, time for me to read the manga for it now. |
atruong18 said: well, time for me to read the manga for it now. After you've finished, please come back and cry with us :(.... |
| This was a really good episode. They didn't bother trying to rush anything, but at the same time, this was a failure at an ending of a 25 episode show. Ren's manager was the best he's been in this episode, and I like that this was more focused on Ren than Kyoko. I probably will drop it to an 8 just for the ending, but I'll leave it at a 9 until the high wears off. |

"Next stage is..." it's just too cruel. i thought there a total of 26 but now i'm just really dying for a 2nd season. i wanted more of the love triangle since tsuruga just noticed his feelings an ryoutaro is too DX this is just too sad for me. i'd like to say it's 5 out of 5 since i love this series but i just couldn't T.T i had to score it 4 DX i seriously wanna cry ryt now................. (T.T) |
| 2nd Season NAO!! |
 |
| I want to see Ren how he act : / |
     |
| Was not what I was expecting, one bit... pity... How can they end it like that...arghh I would atleast wanted them to know that those 2 were childhood friends That alone would of made me given it a higher score, lol still..sigh.... Season2 Please !!!! |
 |
| I swear, throughout this whole episode I felt like my heart was gonna rip out from my chest. xD IT WAS AMAZING. I loved it, and I'm really excited and hopeful for another season. It deserves a 10/10, and while I did want more for an ending, I just can't bear to knock it down a score. >_____> I do want more episodes NOW though. So I'll be upset over that for a while haha...and I thought waiting a week was painful. |
| Yashiro is awesome. He speaks for the fans. Ren had some great moments. Kyoko blushing was so cute! I had already suspected and accepted to not seeing the "practice" scene so I guess it didn't hit me too hard. :3 It definitely needs a continuation. I think we all know that. Hopefully, we'll get one. At least they ended it rather nicely with a flash of what everyone else is doing. Here's to "Next stage is ..." coming true. |
 |
| :( I didn't even realize that was the last ep until I updated mylist. That makes me sad that there won't be anymore episode next week. Anyway, the episode was good, even though I've already read it, it's nice to see it animated and all in colour and everything, they stuck to the manga nicely with this one and, as just about everyone has said, second season. it's bound to happen. |
| Glad they're not rushing it and I am perfectly satisfied with the ending . . . IF there is a second season. If there isn't I'll be incredibly disappointed. BTW, without asking for spoilers too much (I'm assuming THAT SCENE, whatever it is, is something I'd like to see for myself), did they skip over it or did they just not get to it yet? |

| That was...a surprising ending. After going so quickly with the pacing through the first few episodes, it came almost to a standstill here. And they still didn't get to one of the best parts in the manga!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What were they thinking?! It was the lovey-dovey scene that all Ren x Kyoko fans would have wanted. They better not have cut it out. *glowers* There better be a second season to finish what they left undone!!!! ...okay, now after I've said all that, this remains one of my favourite animes and it's based off of my absolute favourite manga! They did an excellent job with portraying the characters in the anime, I thought, really wonderful. Cheers! |
 |
| how does this show do in ratings in japan? want 2nd season |
| Good and bad at the same time. This show is so fresh with the comedy for me that I would love to continue watching. |
| I soooo want a second season!! What a horrible place to finish the anime! >.<! I wanted to see that scene!!! Hopefully, we'll have a second season, but I guess it'll take quite some time, since the manga didn't advance that much yet..the Tsukigomori arc was the previous one, so they should need more material for the anime. |
    |
| Season 2. Now. |
| OMG WHAT'S THAT!!! I DEMAND SEASON 2 RIGHT NAO!!!!! |
| Great episode but, "Next stage is..." gah!!! wth 2 season now plz ;A; 9/10 |
 |
| Skip Beat!!?? More like they skipped few episodes here and there...bleh... |
| Very nice ep.. altho a little rushed by the end 2nd season? Sent with Mal Updater |
| AHHH I want a more satisfactory ending! I can't believe it ended like that... it feels like just another episode. I want a 2nd season now! T_T T_T T_T T_T T_T Still, I had enjoyed watching Skip Beat because every episode delivered consistently. |
Chicken + Dictionary + Dictionary = CMC. Eeyup.  |
| I actually prefer the way they did this a LOT more. I would absolutely hate it if they rushed it, made Truruga make some crappy confession etc... Even if there is no season 2, I still prefer this. But I'm quite up beat about there being a season 2. |
| . |
| omg need Season 2 NOW ><, it's not as dramatic as a cliffhanger but still makes you want to watch it equally or possibly even more, the way they just reeled us in was great O_O, hoping for an announcement for the official airing of the second season ^_^! |
