| 3/10. Bad episode, bad season, bad show. But, MAMI finally appears! Would have loved it if she had made him suffer this season. |
 |
| Finally the season ended. The first half was decent but the rest was okish.. A 5/10 for me. |

Would've been a 10/10 season, but Mami just decided to show up didn't she..
On their date, under the night sky, Kazuya sees Chizuru tear up while holding sparklers. He ponders their rental dynamic and his own limitations. Memories flood in, prompting Kazuya to express his ideal girlfriend's traits: beauty, kindness, and honesty. He cherishes her vulnerability, even amid strength. Chizuru's tears flow, finding comfort in Kazuya's arms, her grandmother on her mind. Kazuya continues, entranced by her smile and charm, reiterating his admiration for her beauty, kindness, and sincerity.
Kazuya surprised everyone by speaking to her openly and sincerely. This is the right way to support someone in mourning: just be there for them, rather than attempting to uplift their spirits, as that's not how the grieving process works. His words deeply affected her, and as soon as he finished speaking, she felt a newfound trust in him and let her tears flow, mourning both her grandma and grandpa. It was a powerful moment. It felt oddly gratifying to hear Kazuya reaffirm his love for Chizuru, even though he expresses it almost every episode. Nevertheless, Chizuru continues to maintain her strong facade. As always, Kazuya tends to overanalyze things. Nonetheless, it's a relief that Chizuru has come to realize that it's healthier to express her emotions rather than bottle them up. I couldn't shake the feeling that the movie premiere was somewhat underwhelming. Yet, considering the intensity of the preceding episodes, it was probably a wise decision not to add more drama to the event.
Best season of Kanojo, Okarishimasu imo. It only gets worse from here though..

| @daveedgzy06 You are so so so SO wrong. Please let there be no S4, PLEASE. |
| So in the end, are they become a lover for real? I think it needs S4 to clarify :) |

| That QR code on Yaemori t-shirt was too detailed to be just a decoration. I tried multiple times, until I finally got a frame where the code was not distorted and... surprise surprise. This was a great easter egg, gg. A very good episode to end up the season with more genuine feelings and less cringeworthy moments. |
   |
| Mizuhara crying like that was sad, but well that's some progress, and seems like the movie projection went well. Also Mami at the end ahah |
 |
| Overall this season wasn't as enjoyable as the previous two seasons. It kind of just feels like it's going nowhere and it's pretty tiring at this point, the plot just has kind of drifted off into nothing. There isn't even really much drama now and the arcs in this season weren't that good either, I struggled to care for most of the plotlines. I think if there is a season four I won't be watching it because I've kind of grown bored of this series now, which is a shame as it was a guilty pleasure of mine. The ending of the episode was very interesting but I'm not sure if I want to force myself through anymore of this sadly. |

| The whole idea to invite her on a date at a time like that seems pretty damn stupid in the first place, but ignoring that... I always liked how this anime showed character's faces. But the scene with Mizuhara trying to hold back her tears just before she lost it? It was simply beautiful. I'd even go as far as saying it felt out of place in such romcom. It's disappointing that things didn't end here. Sure, I expected as much. And yet with such a big story for main girl, that pretty much summed everything about her from previous seasons, it did feel like finale at one point. I'm not going to blame Kazuya here though. His overthinking and indecisiveness, as painful it is to admit that, is kinda realistic. Not sure what to think about Mami reappearing at this point. I don't feel like she has much power anymore. I guess she could be used to drag out some drama (mostly by Kazuya not having balls again), but at the same time I just hope her role will be only to show that this time MC finally stands up to her, as a symbol of his growth. I already feel sad for Ruka's unavoidable tears... |

| all honesty, i thought it was a great season but,i think the storys way too dragged out. the idea was pretty unique back then, but i think the novelty mightve been gone it was a nice rollercoaster of a season, the usual happy go lucky beginnings, to a humble end also, it cant be just a coincidence that mami and kibe are hanging out with kazuyas grandma. do they know each other? had a great time seeing a dif side to chizuru (aqua konosuba), wonder why when i see ruka (chiho hatarakumaousama) i dont feel anything. prolly because shes the derpiest char, hopefully theres a serious ruka arc later on or something |

| anime/manga version of steam would be awesome - https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1625396 |
| I liked! Chizuru took all the weight off when she cried, Kazuya should have hugged her. Mommy? I already missed you. 8/10 |
  |
| That was a nice conclusion to season 3, the best season so far, it was all packed with "progress". Even with the cringe MC this show can be funny and emotional too. |
| Worst season yet because it felt like Kazuya made progress. This anime needs to end on a high note, with the cringe loser MC broke and devastated. 🙃 |
| "I was lonely and he helped me, I'm very grateful... not grateful enough to give him his money back though". What a nice girl Mizuhara is. I was almost convinced the author forgot who Mami is, but he gave her another appearance in the last episodes. Which brings her appearances to two in this season and her impact to zero. Meanwhile Kazuya managed to not develop at all in three whole seasons while spending an unrealistic amount of money on the golddigger next door. Truly one of the anime of all time. 6/10 |
 What Kazutrash should do: 1. Break off his relationships with the other girls. 2. Confess his real feelings for Chizuru. 3. Marry Chizuru. If not, she will never be happy. Kazutrash will always be dense because Anyway, I'm glad to see I finally finished this series. It was a long ride. 🙄 I honestly enjoyed Chizuru, Sumi, Mami, and Mini's relationship with Kazutrash but Ruka is still annoying as ever. Kazuya reminds me of Kazuma from KonoSuba quite well. P.S. I somehow didn't quite like the theme songs for this season. However, the first was greater than the second, while the third went last. It didn't feel right at all to me. |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Just when I thought he was gonna ask her out... he didn't. Kazuya hasn't disappointed me as a protagonist: absolute useless. Very normal/mediocre season, I liked (not Kazuya) previous seasons better. Although Yaemori was a good addition, I would've liked if she was a love interest. Very interesting character. The whole movie making plot was not interesting because Kazuya never makes a move. He just likes to do speeches which are seriously boring and predictable. Ruka was good this season, same as Sumi-chan. All we know by the end is that he's in love with Chizuru but he's still not doing anything about it... 6/10 |
| "Manga readers are annoying, all they do is complain or spoil the anime we discuss in an anime forum. They should really do their whining at manga forums." Stolen from Janethan23. Add in visual novel readers too |
| Cringe offset by good character development gives an interesting emotional salad |
| "Nothing happens" anime can be fun when they don't pretend things are happening, but this series forget the "don't pretend" portion of that condition. |
