What a shockingly great/fitting ending.

They did a damn good job balancing out the various relationship pairings as well, although it was a bit odd to give Ishigami a love triangle there at the end.

I like to watch redo of healer

YES i've finally watched it❤️ honestly can't wait for s4. im so glad they didn't end it at "Kaguya wants to be confessed" because the after credits scene made it much better.
And hayasaka really thought that kaguya ruined the kiss but it looked fine
And in general idek, no feelings for this one

ULTRA ROMANTIC

That's the best way to describe it. Now I'm not sure how to score this series... 8 or 9...

It was also a treat to see Tsubame. One of my favourite pairings of the manga, Tsubame x Ishigami!

Can't understate how great Hayasaka was this season. This episode and the last were no exceptions. Her reactions were priceless.

Amazing series. Love this series!

I wish there was a way to score an anime higher than 10/10 because this season is the best single season from any show or anime I have ever watched. This is the first romance anime that I have seen be so well paced in regards to when they want to add the truly romantic and progress building scenes. While it did take 3 season to get to the point where Kaguya and Shirogane have outwardly expressed their feelings about each other, the unique and unorthodox relationship between these two main leads kept the other seasons interesting. Their competitive outlook towards love created many scenes where the viewers were left on a cliff or the characters were on the verge of making huge decisions, however, becuase of the unique nature that has been built around these characters, it makes sense as to why they have hesitated so many times. This is something anime's and manga's like Rent-A-Girlfriend completely fail to achieve. The completely ordinary archetype between the two main leads that an anime like Rent-A-Girlfriend uses leaves complete predictability, and the sloppy pacing ruins the whole romance aspect of the show, no longer making it enjoyable. However, Love is War completely mastered the art of pacing to keep their viewers engaged and interested.

In addition, the whole supporting cast of this show, for example characters like Ishigami, Fujiwara, Iino, Hayasaka, and others blend completely with the vibe and truly embody what a Romance Comedy is about. It has been clear that there is a lot of effort put into developing these side characters and their relationships, and as a result, it creates a real sense of community between these main and supporting characters, rather than isolating the two main leads and focusing on only them.

This is the only anime I have actively been waiting for and been genuinely looking forward to watching over the past two years. At the end of 2020 I had watched most of the best anime's and my standards increased with my attention span decreasing. I had barely watched anime over the past. year, but I had still been waiting and anticipating the release of this season. This season was everything I wanted to be and more, making Love is War easily my favorite romance anime as well as the Season 3 being the best single season I have ever watched. Thank you Aka Akasaka and the animation team for creating this wonderful story, I can't wait to see what's next.

During that buildup I was so impressed and ready for perfect end, but now I feel like Kaguya: I wanted a confession! Yeah, it's same (or even better) as one, but I still wanted to hear it.

That kiss and Hayasaka's reactions... I'm still grinning like mad.

But it seems Ishigami still doesn't understand his situation? lol

4 times. i cried four fucking times out of happiness THATS ACTUALLY EMBARASSING FOR ME MY GOD

the way i held in my scream once that golden ball popped WOW.

everything was perfect. i havent read the manga but i don't think they could've left anything behind, right? the animation, the pace of dialogue, the words they used EVERYTHINGGGG. i especially loved shirogane's monologue when he confessed

miko and ishigami tease?? love that. but i wonder how long we're gonna have to wait for them, since tsubame is actually giving ishigami a chance and probably wont break up with him easily

the post credits scene tho..😒😒😒 theyre rly the cutest ever im so mad.

this season was ultra romantic indeed, amazing job as always A1

Material wise, it's not the end, the story is still ongoing.

However, to a lot of people, it's the "end" as this final was the "plot of the series" (the confession)

But the series still continues as after this... they literally had the "confession" reset back to zero as if they never confessed at all and continue the adventure all over again.

I thought so at first, but doesn't seem like thats it. The explanation that she just took her tongue out and licked his lips seems more plausible according to the explanation we go on screen. I mean, if it was just a french kiss it would be more "normal", but Kaguya was like "lol just stick out your tongue like this", so yeah. Thanks for answering.

Wow they really built up the romantic tension for so long. Really satisfying pay-off as well!

Heavily disagree with the idea that french kiss for a first kiss with someone is bad in any way XD

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

Imagine seeing one of the best works in human history... ah yes we don't need to imagine, we have Kaguya-sama s3. I don't know what the heck happened with the episode discussion in ep.12, it's a mess and I risked to get spoiled everything (lukcily only 1 scene), despite that. i loved this last episode, it was the work of gods.

Funny the post kiss scene, the post credit scene, amazing everything. Love is amazing!

Absolutely loved it.

Felt like they just did an amazing job with the pace of their relationship and just bringing it up to an amazing climax. Feel like it's pretty rare with a lot of romcoms that just end up dragging it out.

Were times I would be watching at like 3 AM and getting giddy as hell cause I couldn't contain my excitement. To me, that really makes it something special.

That was such a great way to end the season.
Humans only live for a hundred years, it is as unreal as a dream that ends in an instant. What is the point of a person living in this world? No more than just being on a journey, and witnessing interesting things. Although I do not want to die, I do not fear death. I am already on my right path, I have no regrets even if I die.

This has truly got to be one of the best Romcom anime ever of the decade. Straight up Masterpiece...

Well as shocking as Shirogane's reveal was, even Kaguya couldn't help but be perplexed for a moment. Knowing this will be his last cultural festival until he departs for America 10 months later, it's now or never. Though have to say Hayasaka's knack of making any situation a humorous one just never gets old. Loved how she consolidated and supported Kaguya throughout the split episode...

The one who confesses first loses, that's how it used to be but now neither Shirogane nor Kaguya backing down from that absolute resolve of confessing by the end of this cultural festival. And Shirogane aka Phantom thief doing every damn thing to make no one interfere (talking about you Chika) from this history making event. But now's not the time to have any second thoughts...

These two panels alone hold much more relevance than maybe hundreds and hundreds of whole damn shows out there, and I'm still being generous. The buildup over the last two seasons to make it up to this point was only one of its kind, and as unfortunate as it sounds it's highly possible we won't ever witness something of this magnitude again...

The kiss scene was perfection and of course Hayasaka's reaction was gold. I'm really going to miss this series, luckily Kaguya-sama: Love Is War will be returning with a full-length anime movie adapting the manga's The First Kiss Never Ends Arc...

Kaguya-sama: Love is War s3 is probably the best ending i could've asked for this series to end on. For 3 straight years this series did a fantastic job at balancing romance and comedy within each season. The comedy imo wasn't cringe or over used at all, the romance wasn't painfully cheesy but also not dragged so far out it got boring to watch. Season 3 kept to its roots and tied the series up with a unique way only it could do.

Story obviously was a bit more romance heavy with the characters having developed that it definitely felt reasonable for it to happen. The romance and comedy this season, again, felt like a great balance. Plenty of scenes this season alone i've been laid waste to laughing my ass off, and lots of scenes had me pretty on edge between whether Kaguya or Shirogane would confess first, but heck a kiss to end it? I ain't complaining.


Character development imo has always been a staple for this show and this season no less was outstanding with it. Kaguya and Shirogane development for one another and their own character was great to watch this season, they kept a create build up of each of their own characters until the last season, but also doing a great job at reminding viewers how far both these people have come since we first saw them, and they saw first saw each other. Ishigami also getting his own arc with Tsubame was definitely a great way to help show how much his character had changed from his initial appearances. Side characters also received a good amount of love as well, Maki turned into this kinda tsundere with a sharp tongue, to this depressed third wheeler who couldn't escape but also handed out life advice which became scarily relatable to me. Again, as a Hayasaka fan i couldn't be more happy with the amount of attention she got this season, they expanded a lot more on her character then her simply being "kaguya's therapist" and touched more on her as her own character. Sadly she might of taken an L in the romance department but this season showed enough screen time for me that i'm happy as is. Asides from that quite a good amount of new characters were also introduced.

Visuals were still the same which was to be expected. One thing i'll say is in ep8 where they used actual panels from the manga to help convey certain scenes better was pretty well done. I wish they did it a bit more leading to the end but oh well.

Voice acting again this season was amazing. I don't think there isn't one student council member that hasn't absolutely gone of the hook and absolutely screeched down the mic as if they were getting killed. Getting Masayuki Suzuki to do another opening at this point was almost necessary, dude kills it all the time and is another staple for the show. The ED once again had its own unique feel, but good lord ep5 standalone ED has to be the hardest and fastest curve ball this series has thrown to date, the animation and beat are amazing and getting Makoto Furukawa and Konomi Kohara to do the vocals was the icing on top.

And just a little something for the entire series, i absolutely love this series. Personally my favorite RomCom to date, with some of the best character development i've ever seen. I loved all the character shown, each felt unique and had a purpose in the show. The story was hooking with its balance of great comedy and romance ideas. The ED and OP's of the series have also understandably become quite iconic and the visuals were always great to watch.

All in all season 3 would probably have to be a 9/10 for me, imo they tied the story up reasonably well, the humor still had me dying for another year in a row, the romance really had me and i was hooked on it, all the characters ended up being lovable due to how much they grew on me with their individual developments. Sadly after 3 years it pains me greatly to think that this time next year we won't get to see anymore, and is the last time we'll see the student council and Hayasaka my beloved.
