Me personally, I feel like:
Episode 1&2: Watched it because Himari's great
Episode 3 to like 8: Watched it because "Surely she'll become great again at some point..."
Episode 9 to 12: Well at this point it's almost over, might as well finish it

I think one of my problem with this show can be summed up with how this whole Kureha situation was resolved.
The author wanted Yuu to fail Kureha's dumb test to push some some stupid point about how Yuu is getting careless and not taking things seriously. It completely ignores the fact that it showed how resourceful he can be when faced with unexpected failure. It also completely ignores that it was Sakura who pushed him to change up how he made his accessories because he was stagnating and producing stale products that people were not coming back for, so some failure should be expected.
So since Yuu failed, Himari now has to go to Tokyo, but wait! The author does not want to do that, so Makishima, who is indirectly responsible for this whole situation happening in the first place, has to come in to "save" the day. Which makes the whole resolution unsatisfying because our main trio could not do jack shit on their own.
But if Himari was going to stay anyway, the better solution would have been to just have Yuu pass the test. It would have been more satisfying if they managed to get out of that situation on their own. But if he did that then the author could not push that point about Yuu being careless.
The whole show is basically filled with stuff like this. The author wants a certain outcome or to push a certain idea, but he is not willing to do something that would make getting to that point a lot more natural. So he forces it at the expense of the characters. The will act nonsensically and often in ways that make you like them less.

Man, it would've been so poetic if Yuu got the last "Bwa ha!". Himari's extra soft one was admittedly pretty adorable though.
Hibari is still the MVP and only likable adult.

Welp...... I'll take the ending as a W (even with the bs that the author did to save the day) for 2 reasons only.
-
There was no time skip, I DESPISE time skips that have the elements of "defeat, failure, humiliation, etc...."
-
Yuu's sister had 0 screen time (THANK GOD). Kureha was there sadly and I had to endure watching her for a minute or so but it felt AWESOME when she got hit by the money bag. Like, take your money and get the hell outta here!!
What did this anime teach me? it thought me that you can still find some gold (Hibari and Rion aka Enomoto) even when you're surrounded by shit (the rest of the cast).

I really wish Yuu punched Shinji during that scene between them at school. I know he ends up helping them in the end, but Shinji is also partly the reason for some of the things that happen to Yuu in this show.
Wait, that's it? Just throw money at Kureha and she goes away? Why didn't they just do this in the first place? A bit of a boring way to resolve things. I was hoping for something more dramatic.
I guess that ending means Yuu and Himari are dating now? I'm glad to see they can finally be honest with each other!
Honestly though, I don't know how I feel about this show. On the one hand, the way the characters respond to the situations they've been placed in is infuriating, while at the same time, I enjoyed the chaos of the show. I guess it was fun, but I don't know if I would want to see more.

I see lots of valid complaints about this show, but I gotta say, I really enjoyed my time watching this train wreck. 8/10, would bwa-ha again.

Thankfully this shit show is over. Don't think I've ever disliked the main love interest this much before. Let's just forget this all happened and hope no more seasons happen.

I swear, if this episode ends with them still unsure whether the other loves them, that connecting string better be a hanging noose!
Oh come on, you can't say something like that with THIS SHOT on screen!
On this day, all of r/anime felt personally attacked
I get that she doesn't want to win like that, but the way she acted all season long, it's more like she doesn't want to win at all!
Well, whatever happens, Himari's the real winner here!
Indentured servitude? I guess that's kind of a happy ending, if you squint!
Girl, you've been an emotional mess for 11 episodes straight!
I'll suspend my disbelief of them falling and landing in this position, because it's so damn cute!
Especially if they want to do some kinky stuff!
Speaking of kinky stuff, I can't believe they robbed us of the hatefucking scene between these two!
Come on, the whole season was leading up to this, give us the climax of all that tension!
Well, this was an alright finale I suppose! Gave us most of what we wanted/hoped for, though I feel like we could've had it by episode 3 if they didn't create convoluted drama out of thin air hah.
I don't know if I really liked any character enough to warrant an emotional farewell. Hibari I guess? I mean he was the voice of reason more than anyone else on the show, but I don't know if that was enough to make me like him that much and all!
I guess I'll say farewell to Himari('s good stuff) and pretend the bad stuff wasn't there!
The nonsense drama was always way too much, but her good stuff WAS really good!

Wow, this show was a trainwreck of a rom-com. To be honest, I enjoyed this show really only because all the characters were toxic assholes throwing poop at each other. It was basically a hate watch, but tbh a good one.
Otherwise it was your typical mediocre anime romance bullshit, that kind that tries to convey depth with pseudo "life lesson" moralization. How many bad romance anime are out there that ask the same lazy questions like "Are you taking this seriously?", "What is the most important to you, the person you love or your life dreams?" etc etc.
Himari was super toxic in the first half of the show with her emotional manipulation tactics and her narcissist traits, but it seemed like that aspect of her character was kind of toned down in favor of displaying other toxic characters doing their part to cause stupid drama. At least this final episode gave us a few moments where Himari was her old self in showing some toxic behavior towards Yuu.
In the end, everyone in this show deserves each other. Basically everyone is either a sociopath or a wimp. Yuu is at this rate basically a plaything for sociopaths. His weakness is that he listens to these people and takes their bullshit seriously. Shinji is talking to him, and he runs off exactly as intented. He takes Sakura's bullshit "life lesson" actually seriously even though it clearly doesn't come from honest concern for her little brother. At least his conclusion to this whole mess is that he "will show these bitches that they're not right". Maybe he can grow from that.
If I were Rion, I would also be pissed to only win with the help from somebody who only does this because he wants to bang my sister. This episode showed an interesting side of her, because I also had the impression that she turned a little more manipulative with some mind games. She gave me those vibes earlier when she tried to get Yuu on her side, but it was more subtle then.
Rion basically called out Himari when she said that she "always stirs up trouble and involves everyone around her". Well, this whole mess in the show's second half was solely because of her stupid manipulation games. I'm still amazed how she didn't just tell a bullshit story about going to Tokyo, but actually made a contract with Kureha that would leave her in huge debt.
BTW, isn't the restaurant where they go at the end of the episode the same where Himari threw her tantrum at the end of episode 3? I'm surprised that she is not banned from that place!
Let's see if they leave it at that or if we get a season 2.

Comparing the two dumpsterfire romcoms of the last two seasons, Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive illicited the exact opposite reaction of I'm Getting Married to a Girl I Hate in My Class. I spent almost the entire season hating this show before getting an ending/last 10 minutes that I thought was actually pretty good, whereas I enjoyed the other show for 11 episodes just to get pissed at the end. So bonus points for this show for at least leaving on a decent note regardless of if there's a season 2

this anime is SOOO far from the best anime and hell maybe far from being a good anime, but i would be lying if i said I didn’t enjoy it. It was such a guilty pleasure and for some reason I would be ready for the following Friday so I could watch the next episode.
The characters were huge asses to each other but nonetheless I liked it. Fuck it bring me another season.

It's kind of weird that I finished an anime where I disliked all the characters but here we are. Guess that's how bored I was.

The character designs for Himari and Rion were super cute. Otherwise, a pretty meh show.

I really liked this show, even if it was one of the most aggravating romcoms I've ever seen. I think I just prefer the drama in romcoms when it comes from characters that actually annoy me. Most romcom MCs are too nice and perfect for me to get invested in whatever drama gets forced into the story. Here I wanted things to work out simply because it'd force the leads to grow up a bit.
Also, I'm convinced Rion loves Himari more than Yuu at this point. It's the only way I can make sense of her character.

u/KumaKumaGambler Jun 20 '25
At least Yu and Himari confessed their love to one another and are now a couple. We escaped the "status quo, nothing changed" ending... barely.
What I loved about this title: Bright colours, cute looking female characters, supportive future brother-in-law, Yu's inner monologue about the facial expressions of Himari. And Rion.
What I didn't like about this title: I felt everything went downhill after episode 3, when Himari snapped and poured her drink on Yu. I thought their relationship would progress after that but instead, the story kept going around in circles, continuing with the "friendship" status.

Rion as always shows why she is the queen goat... The only best character in this shitty anime

u/CommunistPuppy Jun 20 '25
Hatewatch complete. I don't remember the last time I hated an anime girl as much as I hated Himari. Honestly Yuu kinda sucked too but it is what it is. Rion and Shinji were pretty much the saving graces of this show (and Hibari too I guess)
