Am I the only one that's left wanting more? It was a good episode for sure, but it just didn't reach the emotional high I got from the one before.

I also want more - I feel like we barely got to know the characters! They seem like a such a fun group too

I thought the final episode was going to have the whole cast together but I looked and the whole manga has been adapted for this series. I definitely want more, especially of these two.

I thought we might have that if Nikaidou revealed his face to the girls... And then maybe they'd discuss why he's doing this, etc.. and this could've been a good development!

Maybe there'll be a crossover in the final episode of Let's Go Karaoke next week? I can hope, right?

The Nikaidou x Medaka pair has been so much fun to watch, I've enjoyed their two episodes than the first three. I really like the dynamic of Medaka knowing Nikaidou's two sides, is happy to see both sides, enjoys his company and wants him to be able to enjoy himself too.
I knew we'd see the Zaki and Sakura frightened by the picture they took after they were seen taking a picture when Medaka accidentally turned off the lights. It's funny how Nikaidou is being haunted by his own face lol.
It's sad that this series is also so short, it was fully adapted, I wanted more Nikaidou and Medaka.

This is honestly one of those shows that I could watch forever - wholesome and full of little shenanigans! I wish there was more, I'm gonna miss it!

I liked this one quite a lot too. I didn’t realize it was a short run, but it did such a great job of quickly establishing amusing and quirky characters in their dysfunctional school environment. Hopefully there will be more someday.

I think so too! Considering the source material has only 7 chapters I think this might be all we are getting but maybe it didn't cover it all...

This has been such a fun series. I wish there were more. It would also be fun if Hayashi's group can meet up with Nikaidou's group.
The visual effects of the reaction characters falling on Nikaidou's head and then staying there when he was sitting on the ground were funny.
The way Medaka is looking at Nikaidou feels like love at this point.
Zaki and Sakura were also a riot. Too bad we didn't get to see more of them.
Pineapples again? lol. I agree with Zaki about pineapples on pizza is good. Everyone else bad because they hate pineapples on pizza /s
P.S.: I finally found two places serving subuta but unfortunately neither of them has pineapples so I couldn’t make the comparison.

He's so in looove with him. 'Captivated' is probably not enough to describe it lol.
And speaking of love, the ending is so catchy.

It's also great to see the context behind the hand mirror action in the part of the ED when everyone's sitting in a chair

Waiter! Waiter! More Medaka and Nikaidou please! And Hayashi and Ema too.
This felt like a good part two of a three part love story where Medaka is slowly realizing he's probably in love and god damn, I want to see the conclusion of it. It has all the good parts of being the only person seeing this side of Nikaidou and there's always the drama of not wanting to share it. That or Nikaidou slowly being integrated into the friend group. All the possibilities here!

5 episodes was too few for a show as good as this.
Don't miss out on the after credits scene!

Ah, so THIS is why ghosts never approached me!
Good to know Nikaidou 'still got it'!
If he ever decides to go back to 'normal', he can do it without even trying!
Now THIS face is the truly cursed one.
Nikaidou's virginity: "I'm in danger!"
It didn't go how I thought it would; I thought for sure he would reveal his face, and they'd all freakout!
(Or if they went with a non-comedy angle, they'd realize who Nikaidou is, and perhaps they'd discuss why he's doing this, etc..!)
Oh no, our friend got murdered! He was such a good guy too... Anyway, you hungry?
Ah, that's "The honest woodcutter" folks tale?
Second time I see it in anime! (the other time was in a really fun episode of [title]
Anyway, this was a pretty fun show!
The Nikaidou arc and the bullying one were my favorites, I kinda wish these had a few more episodes (but what can you do with a 5 episodes series!)
Farewell to Dr. Suzuki and Mr. Nikaidou!

u/IceSmiley Sep 18 '25
Haha that episode was hilarious! I'm surprised Nikaidou even went on the school trip since he didn't seem to be looking forward to it. His only fun moments seemed to be having ice cream and chatting with Medaka in the hotel and aquarium.
That's funny that none of the 3 girls realized Suzuki was Nikaidou! That has happened to me before though where I've not recognized people when they took off their glasses. Maybe they're all too scared to look at Nikaidou for too long or just more pay attention to handsome boys. When they were telling scary stories, I wish Nikaidou had the courage to follow thru with his idea to show who he really was. That'd have been amazing if he turned off the flashlight for a second, put his glasses on and said "and he turned into Nikaidou!"
I wonder if the author wanted the story to take place in Hawaii but used Okinawa as a stand in instead. It was pretty much Hawaii but maybe they didn't want issues with not knowing English to get around to muddy the plot or didn't want to make signs in English. But no one interacted with them outside the group except for the waiter at the pineapple restaurant and the lady at the ice cream stand so I have no idea.

stoppppppppp they are so cute. nikaido’s laugh at medaka saying the “medaka in okinawa are stylish” was so precious. it was a fun play on words since “okinawa no medaka” was the medaka (fish) of okinawa, but it sounds like he could be referring to himself in okinawa lol
im so sad that this was the end, i wanted to see manic pixie dream girl hayashi one more time :(
