| Rewatching the series for the second time made me appreciate it alll the more. Granted, it didnt hit as hard as the very first time I watched it, but even without the surprises, oit was still great. Sadly after all these years, we only got that crappy prequel, and as in most cases, a full fledged 12 episode prequel rarely ends up successful ,let alone as good as the original work of art. I guess we will never see a true sequel to Barakamon...T.T |
| It's clear where Seishuu got his hot-headedness, his mother is a complete nutter. lol. Good to see him learn to control his temper over the course of the show. It was so good to see Sei reunite with his friends on the Island. Naru looked cuter than ever xD Looks like I found a new favourite show. I will definitely be rewatching =) |
| Oh, Handa's mom is funny lmao. We know where he got his hot-headedness. Well, this show is over. A solid SOL. It was quite fun, I didn't have many expectations at the beginning. 7/10 for the anime. |

| Amazing series, I really needed to watch this. 9/10 Still hoping it'll have a 2nd season, would be neat!! |
| I would kill for a second season, this show had me all excited through out every episode. |
| Amazing lovely anime <3 |
| A very heartwarming show with great hilarious moments. All of the characters were lovable and Handa's development was great to see. A very solid sol show. |
  I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |
| Big rip, Handa got 5th place. At least he's not depressed af xD |
 |
| Warmful mood. Nice ending and normal. Finally her mom let Handa back to the village and his parent also want to go there. Enjoyable movie and fun drama inside. 8/10 |
| Wow. I didn't go into this show with high expectations, but this anime was amazing. The final episode/ending was perfect 9/10 |
   |
| What an amazing ending. It felt so good to see all the characters again in a cheerful mood. Man placed fifth, well It's great right? I guess so. He matured a lot and became more ''himself'' (yourself) aka the opening. Amazing! |

| Man, this is the “healing” that I was looking for! I was almost certain this show would deliver but it’s always great to have confirmation, isn’t it? Handa-kun’s mother, for one, definitely left an impression xD. I’d seen clips of her on YT before but she’s scarier than just that, lol. It was nice to see the turning point though, Sensei’s certainly grown. Sensei’s bad luck and in particular his “impulsive” nature, lmao. Not going to lie, the final piece does look clean but the previous work in “star” looked better imo. 5th place though and not minding it too much, jokes on you Miwa-nee xD. Final welcome back with the group hug and the final illustration were fantastic, I’m going to miss this series for sure. Second season, please? Similar to Flying Witch & Non Non Biyori, I really liked the nichijou comfy feels, dialect (not in the latter though) and the atmosphere of the show. This is why SOL is one of my fav genres! Going to award this a solid 8.0/10, as such. |

| He's back on the island. I kinda wanted to see him go there with his parents but this is fine too. Btw, 5th place! I did not see that coming lol. But seems like he doesn't care anymore about it. It was a fun watch, I am glad I stumbled upon this. |
| That was one of the sweetest, most heartfelt and funniest shows I've ever watched. I loved this so much and am sad that that's the end of it. |
| This is good, really really good. Never thought Handa would change this much from his old highschool self, it's an amazing thing to see. Hoping there's more to this, especially I already love the characters in this series. I want more Naru scene, she really carried this show. I will miss this show, the cute and heartwarming moments, I will miss it. In the past Handa was idolized, this time, Handa is loved by everyone. Handa's mom punching Kawafuji, definitely one of the best thing in this show. |

| Someone please hug Handa's mom right NOW Well just like most other people here, I loved it, and am so glad I found out about this anime which I probably would've never hear about otherwise if I hadn't stumbled across that random youtube video. I love how laid-back this was, it didn't try to do too much at all, and was just here to give us a chill time. Even the whole thing with Handa trying to find his identity in his writing wasn't blown out of proportion like you'd think it'd be. Literally it boils down to Handa just needing a little vacation out in the countryside to find himself again and gain composure, and to find some new friends to be a part of his life- lots of those friends being children, but it's those kids who honestly make this show so good. And those same children acted more grown up than him at most times so I'm assuming he did learn a thing or two from them on acting more mature, and not acting on impulse which is what lead him to punch the director and sent him to this island in the first place. Don't want to ramble on for too long, so I'll just leave at this with saying that I'm so glad to have found another anime in which I can look back and fondly remember, rather than it being just another anime to watch and finish and let fade into the back of my memory. I loved how this ended. If there's more, I would like to see it adapted one day, but otherwise, I do not need more at all. I am completely satisfied and happy with what we got, and I'm sure pretty much everyone else felt the same way with how this ended. Man I'm glad I heard about this anime. 8/10 |

| This anime is very good, a pleasant village life has been successfully created in this anime story to be very memorable. The characters are also very well made especially Naru, she is a character that I really like. Very Solid 10/10 |

| great anime 9/10 :) |
🐐 |
| That was a really lovely anime! It was cute and so wholesome and I could watch it FOREVER! Wish there were more seasons but this one ended in a satisfying way so I’m happy 😊 I’m left very curious as to why we never see Naru’s parents though… guess I’ll check out the manga! |
 |
| Well, it took me a bit over a month to finish it but I finally did it, and I’m really glad I did because this was a very nice finale. Who would’ve thought the final obstacle to getting back to the island was Handa’s mom lol, she put up hell of a fight with all those punches but it wasn’t the kind of fight that would make you hate her, because really she’s just worried about her son. Thankfully the kids from the island indirectly convinced her and Handa was able to return, and immediately we’re reminded of the warmth these characters bring when Handa walks through the door for the first time again, I definitely won’t forget these kids. Really loved that illustration after the ED as well, it may not have been much of an ending but that’s just how I like my SoL endings, life just goes on, there’s apparently more manga after this tho which I may check out. And that was the end, and damn does it hurt to know that lol, this was such a good watch, very heartwarming and healing, had great characters, and it was hilarious, pretty much a perfect recipe for an SoL show, much like another favorite of mine being Non Non Biyori. It really did feel like we went on a journey with Handa too, he changed a lot by the end of this show thanks to the people of the island, it would be hard not to honestly lol. And of course I can’t forget to mention how good the art and animation for this show was, it wasn’t a show that necessarily needed to look so good but the love and attention this got was very nice to see. It was fun revisiting 2014 too, I may not have watched this show at the time but it was a time I was in my earliest day of anime, glad to go back and see what I missed from this time. And lastly, the OP and ED were such a good combo, very good songs and visuals for both, I definitely teared up to that ED a few times too. And I guess sometime soon I’ll check out the spin-off anime, even tho the island folk won’t be there I definitely look forward to it. |
| I want to go to a place like the island. |
| Kinda boring show tbh. I expected something more, but oh well. |
 |
| And Handa's back on the island, in the same manner he first arrived. Though that was something we all saw coming, Handa's approach or more like his attitude towards the result was something unexpected. I mean 5th place, and he's still cool. Might be just 12 episodes but he came a long way lol. Really glad he's content with himself now, I mean this was a series about his own self discovery, so great that we're finishing on that note too. I loved the characters, all of them... ... but then again, Handa's mother should've been here since the start, I mean she pouts, she's cute, may scream a bit but okay we can look the other way( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) It's absolutely baffling how this series never saw a sequel, instead they made an adaptation out of that prequel spinoff, but not a sequel to this smh. These days anything is possible, chances might be non-existent but no harm in keeping hopes. Would've gone with a 9, but it feels like series truly started from here. But we're already done. Though that's just a very minor gripe. 8.5/10 |
 |
| I've felt so warm inside watching this. It's difficult to explain why I love this show so much, and that's one of the things I love about it. For some reason I feel really grateful to the creators. Glad that this is pretty well-known and often-recommended, we could all use more of this kind of thing. I might come back to this as a comfort summer watch. |
| Incredible from start to finish. I can't say much other than that I'm going to recommend this to everyone. |
