----------------------------------------
I love the usage of the soundtrack and singing this episode. It feels so natural and represents youth at school with those kids.

Still an adorable episode as always with Renge and everyone. They even helped a pregnant woman in this finale. It's a 8/10 for me.

What a great way to end the season, I really hope there is a season 4 to finish up the chapters from the manga that have not been animated yet, its to bad the series is over so the chances are not that high.

Graduation of suguru oni san huh, that was a surprise but a good one. Komari's now the eldest in the school lol. Everyone thanking Suguru was a nice moment.

Akane finally meets Hikage and I love it when Hika acts smug saying she lives in tokyo. Also wow we got to see all of them enjoying their time together, that was sweet. Thou poor Komari chan, Shiori chose Hotaru over her.

Shiori's baby sister is born and I loved it when they all helped her mother. Shiori started going to the school, this'll be fun. Also Renge making promise with Shiori's baby sis Kasumi was a really touching moment, loved it.

Man can't believe this season is already over. This was yet another fluffy and beautiful season of Non non biyori. I'm so glad I got see Renge meeting Honoka again in this season. I really wanted to see the two of them reunite. Hopefully we'll get season 4 soon.

Don't know why but whenever there is that song that high schoolers sing at the end of every year it makes me sad. It happens with every anime that have it.

But they did a good job with the ending.

The scene where Shiori's mother went in labour was pretty intense.
Luckily the girls where around if it was Shiri alone who knows what might have happened.
The brother's graduation was funny and even in the last episode he doesn't say anything

It's a shame this is over would love to see more but i guess we will have to wait and see.

I can't believe it's over. Been following this series since it first started in 2013. There's just no other show with the same relaxed feeling as Non Non Biyori.
We might still get an OVA since the first 2 seasons each got one, but there's next to no chance for a full season. I already miss the characters...

Graduation songs always make me sad, funny that the brother had to play it LOL. Pretty chill and fun episode with the cardboard sliding though, pregnancy was interesting though.

Showing off what all the characters were doing was cool, and then the scene with "everyone" walking to school was so cute. After credits scene with the school building was nice as well.

The Non Non Biyori Nonstop comes to stop. What we need is Non Non Biyori Forever as the fourth season.

Finally, Hikage can brag her 'Tokyo' to someone else. The episode was relaxing, comfy, and fluffy as always. It was a great ending when everyone joining and playing together. With Shiori joins the group in the end. Renchon is now a senpai with more responsibility and maturity.

The anime ended on the same road leading to school where the first episode of the first season started. At the end of the episode it has dawned on me that it is not a coincidence that the well known flute theme of the anime is called Sunny road (Hidamari michi). It refers to this road to school.

This really felt like a goodbye to the series and these characters, which I think it probably is, and it was so endearing to me. As I said last week, I was sure it'd be emotional for me and, although not outwardly, it still was. I really do think this series as a whole is the best of the best of what iyashikei/SoL can achieve and, while not my first introduction to the genre, it'll always have a special place in my heart.

Non Non Biyori Nonstop was a blast to me, from beginning to end. It was soothing, it was entertaining, it was adorable, it was heartwarming. It even inspired in me new appreciation for some characters, such as Natsumi, who was the MVP of the season for me - although there was a severe lack of Nyanpasu this season.

If this ends up being really a goodbye to these great characters, at least I can say it was the best of goodbyes and I'm glad to have lived the same year three times, because, in the words of a great philosopher: it's not the same route everyday; when it's cloudy or rainy, it's a bit different, that's what's fun about it.

I can't believe it's actually over I thought that calling it nonstop meant it was never going to end and yet here we are on the last episode. Seriously what an episode nii-chan graduated, shiori is now a big sister and she's attending school with renge and the others. During the cardboard sliding It dawned on me the cast grew but it wasn't until I actually saw them together that it finally hit me. We're no longer just focusing on the main cast but on these other girls as well and it just felt so natural that it took me until now to actually notice. I'm going to miss this anime but I have hope that we will get a season 4 , an ova, and potentially another movie.

The Onii-chan graduated from middle school and started high school but he still hasn't spoken a word lol. Shiori is a big sis now. Baby holding Ren-chon's finger was kinda heart warming. Also love the scene where they all played with cardboards. Renge and Dagashi-ya are truly the best pair.

Gonna miss this anime. Hope it gets a season 4 if there is enough source material.

Also liked how it ended with Renge saying nyanpasu to Shiori in the end.

Man, this show is just pure bliss. Season 4, when?

Onii-chan's graduation ceremony, it's a little sad that he'd to play his own song xD but I like how simple the whole event turned out to be. Renge going up and thanking him followed by the others was really sweet to see.

Great to see more of Dagashiya too, albeit in a rather sorry state one could say lol. I'd a side-story based of her, like seriously.

Definitely want to get a cardboard and try that out! Poor Komari-chan btw, lol. One wouldn't normally think she's older on first glance, I can understand that. But .. it's cruel, lmao.

Sudden serious tone, didn't expect that at all. Otsukare to the girls, they handled it really well to be honest. Little Kasumi and Ren-chon's little promise, that's a massage for the heart lol.

Nyanpasu ~ Fitting end, indeed. All in all, it's been another great and chill season of Non Non Biyori. Had it not been for Yuru Camp, I would've definitely said this raised the bar for Iyashikei of the year but this itself will be hard to top. Looking forward to seeing what other healing shows we get this year.

Easy 8/10 from me.

Even after 3 seasons, Non Non Biyori still manages to amuse and surprise me. Wholesome scenes, beautiful artwork, very enjoyable characters... honestly, I find this series to be significantly superior to any other SOL anime I've seen.

Back again with the graduation song, and seeing our boy (with still no VA) graduate from Asahigaoka. I still find it weird how Hikage is older than Suguru, despite their maturity levels.

Goodness, I knew it, from when there was no response from Akane's mom, that her water broke. Was really hoping she wouldn't pass away from giving birth, but thankfully this is an iyashikei anime so that doesn't happen here.

This might also be the very first time in the series that the last episode shows everybody's lives after graduation. Suguru and Hikage continuing in high school, the usual gang still at Asahigaoka except being slightly older and Akane attending it too, Konomi in college. It really feels like they will create a true sequel if they plan on making a 4th season, but they might just rewind again.

Here's to hoping we have enough content for more Non Non Biyori. On another note, I hope Super Cub can replace the lack of SOL in the Spring season.

9/10.

I can't believe its already over! But all good things must comes to an end... The episode itself is a nice get together of all the character throughout this season over the great soundtrack, which makes it all that sweeter.

From how this ended, it almost feels like a beginning with new characters

But from what I hear that may not be the case, I just hope Renge can keep her promise! Maybe it's a promise to the viewer that they will continue to make more, one can only hope :).

Ahh so nice. I've always been a fan of NNB and even after 3 seasons it didn't lose any of its brilliance. It actually gets better.
I love how on one hand we had all the talk about graduation, but at the same time there was Shiori and her sister. It very nicely balanced the feelings sadness from ending of something, with a new beginning and looking forward to it.

But that's the end I guess? I didn't read the manga, but it doesn't seem like we can hope for another full season. Maybe OVAs at best. It's easily the best SoL anime and one that made me fall in love with the genre, so I'm going to miss it a lot.

And so ends another season of this wholesome, healing series, with a graduation and a new life. And, perhaps, the final season? I dunno as I've not read the source material but I've heard it's finished so who knows if there's any left to adapt? This certainly had an air of finality to it, but perhaps only because it was the last this season? As I said, I dunno.

While I don't think I enjoyed this season quite as much as the first two, the first half I had trouble getting into, it definitely improved as it went along. I even got teary eyed when Ren-chon said goodbye to her one friend an episode or two back. I'll give this season an 8/10, which is lower than I gave the other two, but taken as a whole Non Non Biyori is undeniably a wonderful franchise.

Don’t want to jinx it, but am glad the bots didn’t get to this one! Yet

If this is it for non non biyori, I think it’s more than satisfactory to end it off here. Would love to see even more continuation of course, but with what we got, it’s just has been really good. I actually like how they put the graduation song at the beginning of the episode instead of typically putting it at the end. It’s something different. Gonna miss this series, especially how they just go over to their friends house to play. Childhood vibes man, and the setting being the countryside just gives off even more good vibes.

So apparently we’ve pretty much reached the end of the manga with this 3rd season, if I’m not mistaken, so a S4 would not be possible UNLESS they used all the unused chapters that they skipped. Guess it would end up being called “non non biyori non stop: repeat”. But if you ask me I think it’s more satisfactory just to end here. I’m happy with what we got, and I think most people are too. Nyanpasu. 7/10

Great finale.

And in 1 year Renge got so much better at drawing things, just looking at the marvelous cat drawing.

Every season of Non Non Biyori the final episode looks like a real final, and this season was the one who scared me the most, because time progression, but was necessary.

I hope I season 4 to finish the whole manga, to get the rare crown of being a manga with the whole story adapted in anime. Because this one deserve.

Great finale.

Nii-chan graduating was sad, I'm gonna miss him. Even that shot of him looking out of the train window is a sign that things have changes. :(

It did feel like a conclusion of some sort but I don't read the source so I don't know if there's more left.

Overall, wonderful series. Wholesome, fun and adorable. Never fails to put a smile on my face and there are some really surprisingly intimate moments to be found throughout it. More is always welcome but if this is to be the end, then so be it. Not a bad place to stop.

Yoooo, why am I getting the feeling that the series just said goodbye to it's viewers??? Let's say that this is actually the end (not that I want it to be the end), they wrapped it up really nicely. Glasses-kun graduated and Shiori becoming the new student at the school, while also becoming a big sister!

I loved the moment where even Kaede went outside with the kids to play. Sliding down the little slope with cardboard is such a Natsumi thing to think of. Seeing them all have fun was great.

Also, after this moment, I MUST see a 4th season and every episode Renge and Shiori must greet each other with a Nyanpasu! Too damn adorable that my heart can't handle it. Like just look at Shiori's face!

I really really loved this third season. But it definitely felt weaker than the first two. Non Non Biyori is my second favorite anime of all time and the magic that put it there was missing in this third season. Especially with some of the flute club girl scenes. There was little to no Komari and Hotaru only had an important role in two episodes. I think I'm also feeling this way because this is airing at the same time as Yuru Camp 2 which has been pretty much perfect.

Still, Ren-chon and Natsun delivered what the other two didn't. And I love the calmness and characters so much that I still enjoyed it a lot. I hope this is not the end of the animated version of this IP. But they definitely need to go back to what they did with the first season and Repeat.

A very bittersweet experience to watch this episode because although I would love to see more, I feel this is probably the end as the manga has ended and they adapted the ending.

For a couple moments, I thought Nii-Chan was actually going to speak, but they kept his character true to the end.

One of the best SOLs ever and one that new fans of anime will be watching years and maybe even decades from now.

As for the episode itself, it was brilliant, one of the best in the series. I will really miss this show but we have 3 seasons, OVAs and a movie to rewatch.

Of course 10/10 for the season. Nyanpasu!
