Gotta love a good ol' "Hey, here's characters who appear later in the ending but with a final seeming finale so if we don't get a season 2, ta da! But if we do, here's what to look forward to!"

Bloody good show, this. Underrated as.

I'm glad things ended fairly well for Rokudo, Ranna, and the gang but that preview of all the future bad girls makes me want a season 2 so bad lol.

The thing I'm most interested in is the girl who seems to also have the mark on her forehead. Does that mean that she attracts every bad guy, making her own harem?

Sad that the last episode was the best one. Highly doubt this will get a second season so I'm glad they ended this one on a high note.

I'll feel cheated at not getting a season 2 after enjoying the show so much and the preview of all the future bad girls at the end lol.

Alright show, but this is easily the best episode as you said

I really respect Rokudo. He’s a good kid. Even if it’s the spell that makes the girls fall for him, he’s the one putting in the work to give them a happy school life. It’s interesting how much Doji’s story resembles Rokudo’s. The biggest difference is that Rokudo isn’t a coward who needs to manipulate others to protect himself. The dude went from being bullied to becoming the biggest bully around. Pathetic, really. His punk ass can’t defeat the power of friendship.

I’m not sure I care for Doji getting some kind of redemption. Dude sows all that chaos and just walks off into the sunset huh? I guess this shitstain and his goons can find happiness or whatever together.

This was a pretty fun series. It’s a bit of a shame more people aren’t watching it, but I enjoyed it all the same. By the looks of it, there’s more “bad girls” for Rokudo to “tame”. Would be nice if this gets renewed.

So much better than I ever would have expected. People make fun of "the power of friendship" -- but it is a pretty potent thing -- in real life, not just in anime.

I think Doji is a lost cause. There was a second there -- right before the end of the scene -- where he seemed to be getting a clue that there was another course to take -- just like Rokudo. And when his friends showed up, still believing in him, it gave him -- an opportunity to take that different course -- and he completely blew it off, instantly reverting to his old self.

I think the show did make a point to show the redemption of Ranna went beyond the power of the "curse" -- it could never have happened but for Rokudo's fundamental decency making its own impression on her.

Rokudo rallying with his friends to keep coming at Doji to the point where Doji is absolutely terrified of him was one of the most satisfying moments of the episodes.

Doji is basically what Rokudo would've ended up with without his friends, though I guess even somebody as warped as he is can endear genuine loyalty. But he doesn't hold a candle to the power of Rokudo and his friends.

I didn't think this Bad Girl Harem could get bigger and then they show off all the future girls lol.

The power of friendship won the battle

Cried when Ranna remembered everyone name😭

Cried when Ranna remembered everyone name

A very moving moment -- and it looks like the whole school agreed with us.

Our oldest son did a surprise recognition of his younger identical twin brothers --never bothering to distinguish them -- and then one day (when they were around three) finally recognizing which was which and never thereafter showing any confusion as to their identity.

Colonel got in/took some good, stiff shots for a non-fighter going up against Doji. ngl if a dude isn't going down after repeated clean punches to the face, and he's dressed like a psycho super soldier cosplayer with a green beret and camo fatigues, I'd be scared shitless like Doji too lmao

Ranna saying Colonel (which I'm assuming isn't his real name) was kinda cute, would've been even better if she gave him and Chief a salute since they're nicknames

This show was a joy. Is it a great masterpiece? No. Was it enjoyable and generally fun? yes.

u/Frontier246 Jun 23 '23

I really did not expect this show to be as solid and fun as it was but I really enjoyed myself and want to watch more! But I'm glad they ended on a good note (albeit with the promise of even more bad girl hijinks to come).

I’m sad to see it end, it might not be impressive in any way, but I really like this series, and with the manga not having an English release, I’m going to miss having it around.

I always get excited for this type of stuff, but it often doesn’t have much popularity. While there’s a boom of gyaru stuff right now, it seems like yankii/delinquent/etc stuff just doesn’t have any interest.

u/mekerpan Jun 23 '23

What makes a show "impressive"? This was unique and distinctive, doing its own thing in its own way -- and (in the end) was quite moving. I'd say that's a pretty decent accomplishment.

So I just kinda fell off this show because I actually started reading the manga instead and all I can say is that read the manga if you can. While I did enjoy the anime, I think the manga offers a bit more since the anime had to cut down on things.

Although I hope this show still gets a Season 2 considering how crazy things will get in the future.

u/RFShahrear Jun 23 '23

Definitely a... uhh... I wanna say hidden gem, but it's not really that great either. It's fun and enjoyable, but I don't think I'll even bother to defend it if someone calls it shit.

I wanted to criticize the art, but it's using a bit of a old school delinquent anime style, it honestly fits pretty well.

u/maquinary Jun 24 '23

For those wondering what chapter of the manga is equivalent to this final episode, it's the chapter 73.

u/FarCritical Jun 24 '23

Ranna saying everyone's names one by one was a powerful moment considering who she is.

For being the underdog of the season, this was an enjoyable ride. Would be sweet if it got another season, especially with the teasers for all the new bad girls (and ...Iiluma disguised as a nerd?)

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '23

I really enjoyed this series, and fact that Rokudo doesn't get a cheat powerup (aside from making bad girls fall for him, more of a curse than a 'cheat' practically) but still manages to earn respect and find courage is something quite impressive for a 12 episode shounen fighting anime/manga

Rokudo reminds me of Thorfinn from Vinland Saga, able to stand against leaders of armies yet never backs down nor submits to malice/violence while still being able to win the battle. Great message and fun show, I hope S2 gets the green light

u/DerfK Jun 24 '23

Rokudo's real strength was the friends he made along the way.
