| Bad wrap up with Kotoura and her mom Pretty enjoyable over all |
 |
| 9/10 |
 |
| Enjoyed it and had a couple of laughs here and there. It started off really strong but later it just started to become really goofy and when it tried to become a bit serious again it just felt off. Ending was nice but felt rushed. 6/10 |
 |
| Classic example of a brilliant first episode, followed by a terrible follow-up plot arc and an abysmal ending. The only two anime that come to mind that started and ended strong are Madoka Magica and Steins Gate. Nothing will beat the anime that came out 2011. Nothing. There's at least 4 anime that year that aired that would have take anime of year any other year easily. |
 |
| The drama in this series was terrible and pretty lame. They should have focused on the romance more. 7/10 |

This episode was mediocre imo and so was this series. Deal with it L As for the show, I thought the first episode was good but some of the later ones kinda fell apart. I am saying this because the way the show tries to mix in comedy with emotions and several times, I feel like it didn't work out right. There is almost literally no character development from what I've watched and the penultimate episode's revelation was one of the weakest I've ever seen. Also, I felt that some of the romance of this show lacked flavor and additionally, the emotions that the first episode had didn't get me through. The suspense is also weak and predictable. By now, you should probably understand that people have different opinions on the show. Kotoura-san is one show that I felt that didn't click through. It had its goods and downs but I felt the ultimatum of this series landed a mediocre for me. I am glad that some people enjoyed this series. However for me? I thought it was meh. Now I'm curious on why you scored this a 9/10, care to explain to me? I'm waiting. Some nobody on the web criticizing a pretty good anime acting as if he's some professional critic. Clearly someones contradicting them selves posting first / at all on a anime series discussion, then writing on his profile that he doesn't care what people think, good logic sir. Obviously you do otherwise you wouldn't post your opinion. iaintevenmad. I never knew people who watch anime 24/7 had such high standards. Made me laugh. 10/10 |

| Ah this show is emotionally manipulative, it can give you tears reminding you of anohana, but but but...in a shallower purpose that makes its drama obviously forced JUST to primarily manipulate your critical/emotional opinion indeed(exactly like anohana, but in lower production value)~ It felt too rushed: the romance elements and detective arc is poorly done, humor is quite bland and repetitious, weak/unconvincing ecchi content, some illogical eccentricities...too many mediocre remarks -__- What I have loved was the potential of the show's plot as the MC's talent, unfortunately it never made it stick :( Watch this if you are just REALLY that bored 5/10 |
| Pretty good show overall, very emotional and some heartwarming scenes throughout the series. I feel the animations did an especially great job of conveying these parts especially as well as the parts where it was humorous. 9/10 |
| I don't understand the hate that this show got.. reading the bad reviews, I've skipped this show several times but one day I was bored and decided to watch a few episodes and I'm glad I did. There's a good balance between comedy and drama, without one over-weighing the others and it prevented the show from becoming boring. I marathoned this show because I just can't wait to see what happen next. I don't see how the drama was forced at all, in fact it all came naturally considering Kotoura's circumstances. Overall, one of the nicer one cour shows around. The only thing that let me down was the lack of kiss in the final episode but other than that the chemistry between Kotoura and Manabe was portrayed very nicely. 9/10. |
 |
| 6/10 very misleading show... did not expected another retarded random slice of life bullshit from such an intense start... shame |
 |
| The first few episodes were good, excellent mix of comedy and drama. Not a lot of shows make me go all "stop playing with my feelings!" Then I felt like it was trying to be a lot of things, not committing to anything. The resolution for each major event was rushed. It was like "here's a lot of drama...oops but we don't want to get too dramatic because you know, this is still a comedy so let's end it with something lighthearted." The detective arc was just a mess. It was really interesting at first and then...ugh. It's good to see Kotoura made up with her mom but it's like...that's it? *sigh* |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Really great ending to finish off this show! With even having her mother appear and showing what really happened that day was really touching as well! The slides of the credits making it even better! The confession made it a great ending in general and made this show really lovely! All by all I really loved this anime, the pacing, characters and even the overall atmosphere was great so therefore I'll give this anime a good 9/10! |
 |
| Great show....still don't understand the bad reviews and ratings...... Ok so still hate the mom. I hate the dad more, because he was the worst, but I don't care if she "felt bad" when she left, she still fucking left....what a bitch....but I will at least give it to her that she seems to be trying again, so that's good and all, but I still think she's a giant bitch. Anyway, I think I'm giving this series a 7 or 8/10. |
 |
| 7/10 the whole arc about the criminal just went downhill from there on |
 |
| MORE MORE MORE !!!!!!!!!!! |
 - barely alive - |
| It had a strong start, then it got meh in the middle, but the last episode was great. I give this a 7/10. Made me laugh alot and it was cute :) |
 |
| I absolutely despise the fact she forgave her poor worthless trashy excuse for a mother in the end, and she did it so easly lol. I wanted to see that whore suffer, but i guess I came to a wrong place... 4/10. |
| 08/10 |
| They balanced the drama and comedy pretty well. Only the last arc was a little too obvious and it dragged out a while until the suspect revealed her identity which most of us already know it miles away. The last episode was not that bad :3 Would really like to see more... 9/10 |
 |
| And they all lived happily ever after. With this sentence we can summarize the whole episode, the final putting in place all the problems present in the plot. Narration quiet, calm rhythm from a background with a wistful, perhaps a bit too fast troubleshooting, oh well! TV series that had a nice strong start by the impact, and then not being able to capitalize on the fruits, with a second part of the season a little bland, the final lifts a little history thanks to those who did not leave contentions open but close all accounts at once. Too bad though that is short-lived, perhaps a longer season would give many more chances regarding its popularity. My rating is 6.5 / 10! |
 |
| Well show got really predictable by the end...though the psychiatrist resolution of beating out your emotions on another with a pillow was funny. iIN the end the show was funny, and had one or two ups and downs. Still though....ERO GRANDPA!!! 7.5/10 |
| Gonna be boring and agree with most people about this anime. Great first episode that promised a lot...and the rest of the series had its ups and downs...leaving it a mediocre experience. This is one of those shows that had great potential both with characters and plot, but ended up letting itself down a bit. The mother-daughter conflict could have been the pillar of a very strong story, but instead it was sterile, emotionally impotent and never got any momentum. The team behind this anime just gave this open goal away and made the show very standard and generic for its genre. Either they lacked time or ambition...or both, i dont know. Well worth watching however, and the incredibly good voice actor behind Haruka is the same one that did Ika-chan! |

| It was a lovely anime. I wish more would be like this one. |
Yvese said: The series started off strong and totally unexpected. I didn't let that mislead me though since I knew it wouldn't have the same tone for the rest of the series. My expectations remained low throughout so my enjoyment remained intact. There were some things that bothered/annoyed me like Moritani being a bitch at the start then joining the gang, and Kotoura blaming herself repeatedly. The former I got over, but the latter annoyed me after the 2nd or 3rd time. Despite those 2 annoyances, it was good. Thus, 7/10. Best part of this ep: Giggity. If only! :D ihateeveryone said: Can't really blame them though. This was the last ep so they had to fit all they could. It would have been better if they didn't do that detective arc and instead focused on Kotoura reconciling with her mom. I hated how little buildup there was to Kotoura and her mom's resolution and meet up. It's like she just came into the apartment and they made up after a little fight of feelings and a sleepover. Strong start as everyone says, but then it turned to shit. Shame, this could've been really great. 4/10 I havn't read the manga though so I have no idea if this is how it's supposed to go. They wouldn't have had to have such a forced, rushed reconciliation though if they cut out some of the fluff, which was like 80% of this anime. Sigh, such a strong start .. disappointed. |
| Club disbanding .. Oh well .. yeah right ~ . This Research Society ~ . And that's settles it . Very heartwarming for the mending ~ . Perfect Episode ~ !!! Great overall ~ . It is too lighthearted for me after all <3 . Well , I thought it would be a generic kind of lighthearted anime but I was spoiling it a little bit . I cannot say having drama as a twist would deliberately makes it appealing because the comedy was superior to it . Anyway , They did mixed up nicely . It is definitely comical and underrated . Cliched or not, if it makes you laugh , there is no reason not to like it ~ :D . |

| aww I cried so hard when Kotoura fell asleep next to her mother ;( |
 |
| satisfying ending. love every episode of this show. |
The world is cruel, ugly and pitiful. Let's watch anime and make it colorful |
| Man, in my opinion that was a big example of how it is possible to make a great serie with few episodes. I loved it. In overall. Really. It has a good idea, well planned plot, romance, humor, drama... For me it only missed a kiss however the main ship was so consistent that wasn't a defeat you know? which could screw up the whole serie as some animes around. I want a second season ;_; |
 |
| Glad Haruka said all of the things that she was keeping inside to her mother thus enabling her to move on with her life... thanks to her meeting Yoshihisa she made quite the progress in a short amount of time... I can imagine after this anime ende that she is going to be a happier person and this is not counting when she is finally able to have MC children. Lol! Hope Yuriko feelings reach Daichi in the near future and Hiyori finds a guy that reciprocates her feelings... Overall this was a good animation with lots of potential but sadly 12 episodes wasn’t enough to flesh out some of the characters, I wanted to see Manabe backstory, Haruka's grandfather & Daichi (pre-Yuriko)... |
 |
| Kind of a shit ending to an otherwise good series. The mom should have been run over by a truck somewhere, she did not deserve any symphaty from Kotoura whatsoever. Also, not even a kiss at the end? They focused too much on family drama and too little on the romance. Ecchi-comedy got too repetitive and was overused as well. Anyway, I like the series overall. 7/10 from me. |
| Really don't have much to say about this show, the first and last episode had a strong feeling but throughout the series it really didn't live up to it. Regarding the last episode, I really only liked the complicated relationship between Kotoura and her mother. Honestly, I'm happy that the mother finally had a decent talk with her only daughter, I just wished she would have actually apologized herself rather than Kotoura reading her mind. Because let's be honest if Kotoura didn't have the power to read minds she wouldn't know what really happened when her mother left. Either way I'm happy their on good terms. The show overall really messed up on the whole drama and romcom tied to it. Can't really explain much on this note, It could have done better if they focused more on the seriousness than the comedic aspect of the show, either way I rated this anime 8/10 from the start ending to a 6/10. (^～^;)ゞ |
Stark700 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Finally, this show is over. Well, I would say that this finale was okay but wasn't anything too special. Ya, even the mom makes her usual grumpy appearance again. The talk between the two were kinda grumpy as well. Nice to see Kotoura-chan own her with that pillow :3 Lol @ Manabe and his perversions with attempted kiss. Oh God. Dem tears I'll rate this series 5/10 for now. 5/10? Are you one of those FEW who expects this show to be some kind of battle shounen or a supernatural seinen when it's clearly just a RomCom? |
| I really want to smack Kotoura's mom in the back of her head, why did she acted like a total bitch after she abandoned her own daughter tho. Well at least she came back and cleared up everything about her feelings towards her daughter. I wonder where Kotoura's dad is, he never showed up since the first episode I'm so happy for Kotoura that she finally found people who care about her. Kinda feel bad about Moritani tho, but Kotoura and Manabe looks so cute together. Overall score 7/10 |
 |
| Kotoura is cute. Not sure that the heavier elements were handled as well as the comedy. Was kind of hoping that that would just be a set up and that feeling would fade away as the show continued on, but the 'suffering' continued, and it didn't make sense for it to do so. Moritani was horrible, but the show was consistent in 'punishing' her humorously. The whole detective attack story did not seem necessary. At the very least they could have wrapped up the president's 'I'm a villain who wants to use your power' thing in a different way; not that they were consistent with this either. Liked the animation, designs and colors, and the characters weren't bad in any way. The writing in the beginning episodes felt rushed. Could have been better. Also, people who like suffering should fuck off. Bottom of the barrel taste. |
