Souma's days as a kid, he definitely had a lot to learn in his growing-up years.

The cool guys continuing their time on the beach, and Shun's favourite band is what Igarashi has helped assistance from. The CD cover is great, though Souma is having trouble coming up with the concept of his friend's CD jacket. But with no time to spare, he has got it down, and together with unwavering confidence.

The night where fireworks burst in the sky, Hayate's recollection that he would reach this point, it's not without bonds of friendship.

Really though, this has been a fun and enjoyable half-length episode show for the past 6 months.
May we remember the guys who can Play It Cool.

That's it, no Season 2, because the anime has adapted all 4 volumes of the manga out at the moment.

The season was overall average, there were some cool moments here and there and the characters were a little interesting.

This was a sweet ending to the anime. I don't see a S2 coming at all, but if it will I hope it will be just as good if not better. Also, I hope the live-action one will be a fun one.

Very nice ending.

Yes, CGDCT (clumsy guys doing cute things) never misses and I think the shorter episode length format worked pretty well here.

i really enjoyed this show. it's been one of my favorites both this season and last. just a nice fun show to wind down while watching. a season 2 would be fun, but probably not likely. although i guess they're making a live action of it? im excited for that. will miss my monday comfort show

this was such a great watch! i resonated with these characters so much that it was honestly a bit scary. idk if this sounds dumb but the awkward moments from the guys felt sorta realistic and i just related a lot. esp with the characters being a bit older too rather just a cast of middle schoolers.

loved how in the poll no one hated on the last EP , cause this show is so frigging wholesome , from what I read there is No s2 cause the anime has adapted the 4volumes that the manga has out so far BUTTT there is a live action coming out with 2 Asian Idol members one from a Kpop band NCT I think Yuta and One from a Jpop band JO1 who I'm not sure I don't know the band unfortunately

This was such a sweet and relaxing show. It really captures the essence of Slice of Life and stays true to that. It might not be the most unique show out there, but it doesnt need to. It's wonderful the way it is! The main characters are so nice and relatable. And it might restore my faith in humanity a little bit. 
Also, the choice to make this 24 x 10 minutes over 12 x 20 was pretty good. Watching this on a weekly basis always gave me something to smile. 
There really isn't much negative to say about this show. Maybe 3-4 episodes felt a bit slow, but that's not a big deal. It had plenty that felt like 3 minutes to compensate. 
8/10 and I hope it will get another season once there is enough source material.

This is the only other anime that comes even remotely close to being as heartwarming and healing as shirokuma cafe was for me. It may be a weird comparison as these series have pretty much nothing in common, but nonetheless - my feeling watching these was similar. I love it a lot and wish it was at least 4x longer.

I kept replaying the scene of Shun tripping Souma who was lying down XD it was so funny. And even until the end they were cool doji danshi, that photo is so cute.

So this is the end. It was so fun and relaxing.. I will miss these guys so much. I hope it has as many episodes as the number of one piece episodes T---T

My weekly therapy is gone now </3......
I will miss it!

Coming back to the series, this final episode somehow fixed some of the complaints I had with this series including Motoharu's impact on the original caste of 4 characters

It was a really fun ride, there were few moments where it felt repetitive however they were compensated by the character interaction in each episode

We always got a new aspect to discover all the 4 lead characters (later 5) in some other way and it was executed really well, however some jokes were miss or hit and that's -1 for it, the op & ed were also brilliant especially the first op!

One more issue I had with this series was that they later didn't focus too much on Hayate & Shun individually and it ticked me off as I like both although it can be explained by the fact that the story wanted to give some spotlight to Motoharu but well maybe that's where personal preferences comes to the play, so -1 for that

My overall rating: 8/10, definitely a low A tier show & something refreshing

Every anime season, I try to pick a sleeper show that will turn out to be really great. And happily enough, this was the one!

A wholesome anime that shows the purity and innocence of being a clumsy, awkward person. When you find others that accept you for those perceived flaws, you realize that it’s OK to have those moments as it allows for opportunities to learn and move forward. Life is full of mishaps and awkward situations. Embrace them and flourish. So happy to have picked up the show! 9/10.

That looking back as Souma being a kid and wanting to be creative was nice to see.

Last day at the beach and Souma is still waiting for an answer for the cover cd's he send to that girl, only to realize that he send the wrong photo after he got the reply lmao, the girl called him even to say how happy she was that he made them for her, she even loved it.

The fireworks afterwards were an nice addition to end the anime there and it was an beautiful final.

I genuinely can’t decide which guy I like the best either, they were all so adorable and lovable in their own ways.

I’d love to see another season of our cool but clumsy boys!
