| Even though it's a play, Sousuke displayed quite a bit of personality that I find kinda amusing to watch. But damn, for a series' finale, this one had a lot of emotions on the final cultural day. Mostly comes from Sousuke's mother and Ririka...of all people. Anyways, I do think the finale was slightly strange but still had a decent degree of realism and drama. Underrated gem of the season imo. |

| For the first time, Mitsumi meets Shima's childhood friend Ririko, dressed to the nines and confronting his mother, of all the coincidence of times. While Shima takes care of his kid brother Keiri, both his and Mukai's middle school classmates pay them a visit, and his secret as a child actor is no longer a secret with them, except for the current self in high school. that Ririka forced his mother to only see him for the while and leave. Mitsumi to the save when Ririko gets hard on Shima, like a lesser anteater in its intimidation pose, and she's really living the life of being able to understand Shima and simultaneously prepare for the last performance. Chris's advice of Shima acting again for her sake, the latter can only ask himself if it's really for his own sake, or for others to do things that he wants to do. Even what he wanted to tell Kanechika-senpai, he feels the jealousy of wanting to live an enriched life like Mitsumi's. And despite the play ending well amidst Shima forgetting his lines, he decides that enough is enough, and draws the line between him and Ririko by just enjoying school as it is in his current state of mind, moving on from their past ordeal. But Ririko, bewildered at what Shima told her, couldn't believe the figure of "like mother, like son", and leaves with discontentment that she led him down the wrong path, leading Shima to be guilt-tripped and trapped by her whims, whereas someone like Mitsumi was his much-needed cloud of release. As the school festival winds down with everyone having had their share of fun, including the student council president Kazakami comforting Takamine even if he stole the much-desired position from her. Awards are given out as the post-celebrations start, and while Mitsumi has more student council work to finish up, deep down in Shima's heart, Mitsumi has been the breath of fresh air to him, and that childish smile of his to her reflects that. What a show Skip and Loafer was. Would've loved to see a Season 2 if it's possible! |

| Ririka-related bomb failed to explode. It's not anime team's fault, but it was kind of flat finale for a season. |
| I expected more from a show with that high of a score. I found the characters very cliché and forgettable. Only really liked Shima. 6/10 |

| Very adorable characters imo. I loved all of them even the ones I disliked in the beginning, I ended up liking them as well. Mitsumi is the most adorable of them all. And, you just want to protect her all the time. This episode had quite a lot of drama from my perspective which was pretty good for the most part. I felt the emotions from them in this episode. I enjoyed the final episode. But, overall a very enjoyable show. I loved it very much. Would love to have another season of Skip to Loafer. |
 |
| Well looks like the festival ended well in the end even if it wasn't what some wanted with Sousuke's friends and family and all. It's sad that his mother left tho. Anyway things worked out in the end but that also means the anime came to an end which is also sad since i really enjoyed watching it. But all things come to an end. |
| It was sad to see Shima's mom be verbally attacked and leave before he could perform in the play but it was great to see Mitsumi get in Ririko's way and protect Shima from her manipulation. I really enjoyed this series and really hope we get a second season |
| Ririka's just so confrontational. Im glad that Shima was able to tell her his heartfelt opinion of his views of school though. Though they can't erase the past its still a good first step. Honestly if they were open with each other then things would be so much easier for both. Im glad that in the end that the festival was completed successfully. The prez's direct nature can be endearing just as much as it can be annoying as well thats for sure. Seeing everything left after the event ended really serves to make it even more memorable to those that took part in it. Overall an excellent finale that managed to end the series on a high note and create a treasured memory for Mitsumi and her friends. |

| the whole Ririka drama really soured the experience for me, it was always weak and came to a "ok" conclusion 5/10, and wont return if there's a second season before they presented Ririka it was a 8/10 and tbh, Shima's character could have grown in exactly the same way without her existing |
 |
| 8/10 really a lovely series, Mitsumi was such a vibe hopefully the next PA works Show is as good as this. Also opening of the year so far Also found this censorship funny  |
| PA Works adapted those last two chapters so well! Hoping for a second season. ZER0PT said: I expected more from a show with that high of a score. I found the characters very cliché and forgettable. Only really liked Shima. 6/10 All the characters gets explored more in the manga after this episode, so if there isn’t a second season, I recommend reading the manga if you think they’re a bit boring and cliche. |
| It was so sad to see Shima's mom leaving... DAMN YOU RIRIKA Mitsumi is a national treasure So Ririka actually kinda sorta realizes her wrongdoings. Doesn't excuse anything she did though, but it makes her a more interesting character. Actually now I'm looking forward to seeing her more in the manga as I'm gonna hop into it. There is a word that perfectly describes this anime: Precious. This was so wholesome man, all the character interactions and progression and stuff. Can't forget the OP and ED, they are so upbeat it just... make me happy. A season 2 of this would be a godsend. P.A. Works are on a roll! 10/10 Btw did you know that this is a seinen? |

| From OP to character acting, chemistry, Skip to Loafer is my AOTS. It's simply adorable how earnes Mitsumi is in everything she does, most prominently in how she wants to be a friend :) I love that. 9/10 P.A. on a W streak |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Shima looks so much happier now. Mitsumi has such a positive effect on her friends. She is like that autumn sky at the end, bright and dazzling. What a blast this has been. |
| Gonna miss this, hope for a second season, does P.A. Works even do those? Anyway the main duo and side characters felt really well written to me and the way the drama was handled is very refreshing to see. |
| I think i can pinpoint the halfway mark. After episode 6, Skip couldn't hit the enormous heights it set anymore, it's still a really good show though. Just sad that it didn't have a better second half. |
| It sucks that Shima's mother left without watching his play. Shima's finally free from Ririka. Ririka's realisation was great, I like her character. She's quite interesting and I'm looking forward to her character growth. Btw that middle finger scene was hilarious. Takamine and Kazakami interactions were nice. I get the feeling they'll end up together at some point. Mitsumi and Shima scene at the end was cute. Pretty good anime overall, s2? |

| I went into this show blind and now I’m coming out with a new fave, I’m obsessed with the series and can’t wait to pick up the manga. Best of the spring season imo. |
| I swear a minute more with Ririka and that would've soured this whole finale for me. But thankfully she left, and had a kind of reflection as well. Though that still doesn't change my opinion of her but okay. Shima speaking his mind and finally coming in terms with few things was the highlight. And yes I'm sure Mitsumi realized that as well, I mean who wouldn't after witnessing the sight of such cheerful smile. There were lows, but hey the highs nullified those for the most part. So a worthy experience. Hope we see a season 2 someday. |
 |
| 8/10 Favorite show from this season |
  |
| Ririka is insecure, narcissistic, cowardly and vindictive. She still blames Souske for something that she even knows herself is her fault, can't bear seeing him not being as miserable as she is and thinks, that whole world must come to a screeching halt if something upsets her. She is a perfect representation of an average Twitterian lol. |
 |
| Very easy 10/10. One of the most accurate depictions of high school and the teenaged experience that I’ve ever seen. The characters all act like real high schoolers, the voice acting is natural and the slice of life moments were great. Been looking for something to fill that Kimi ni todoke void and this did it. Insecurity is one of the biggest things young people struggle with and this show just gets it. Made all of these characters feel so alive and genuine. Romance aspect feels organic and unforced. It’s a slow burn that starts with a genuine friendship and admiration as all healthy relationships should strive for. I’m gonna miss this one a lot. P.S. I know she’s toxic as fuck but I love emotionally unstable women and I could save ririka 😩. So hot.  |
 |
| I did find the closure around Ririka and Sousuke a bit underwhelming, but nothing that soured the enjoyment from me, as the rest of the episode was quite fun to watch, and it looks like a big burden has been lifted off Sousuke's shoulders, so much that he feels as giddy as a kid again. What a fantastic high school drama series that had a lot of heart put in to it, especially in how well written the characters were. It was a very grounded story filled with realism and left me with a smile almost every episode. Definitely one of the best shows that this season had to offer. 9/10. |
| We have been blessed with a whimsical, vast, and vivid spring show! 8/10 |
 "Bocchi the Rock!" - Ijichi Nijika |
| well i have a good grasp on shimas situation and yes i want to watch more to be honest this only feels like the beginning |
 |
| I expected a show more focus on romance. The plot at the end was quite a messy |
| Bit of a messy, inconclusive ending, as is often the case with romance anime. Mitsumi's Anteater defense was funny though. |
| I'm going to miss this show so much. Season 2 or we riot! Please make it possible! |
| Good ending I mean I do expect something more dramatic happened but nevertheless I enjoyed it very much, this is truly a hidden gem |

 |
| I wouldn't say that is a breakup, but finis horribilis. |
 |
| Is the competition in this genre so weak that we think this is outstanding? It's simple, down to earth and realistic without having any forced drama. That's good, but it hasn't anything special either to make me remember it in the near future. |
| This series was so wholesome as well as deep in character relationships. It didn't leave stones unturned when it came to making each one express how or why they feel a certain way and in doing so the mature view into it made it that more emphatizable. I don't really think that the series had any peak moments from the adaptations, but it was consistently good from moment one and I was immersed from the get-go. With clean and swift animation without much contrast as well as a soundtrack that features trumpets and xilophones along with both good opening and ending sequences, the presentation delievered. I'm hoping a season 2 is announced since from what I've heard this has barely scratched the surface. |
