| hard coping right now cause this very much feels like a series finale rather than a season finale, which is a damn shame because the next chunk of the manga is even better than what's been adapted here imo. i really loved this show, hoping and praying for a season 2 lmao |
| This is how a Romance anime should be made. In last few years no romance anime actually put efforts to build an emotional atmosphere. There's were plenty of cookie cutter romcoms that make flashy setups but in terms of development most of them were lazy. Insomniacs built characters who are actually alive, eat, sleep (well, ...yeah) and live inside the story. They talk like normal highschools and normal human beings. The flow of every conversations were suprisingly realistic and dialogues were very natural. And on top of that usual troupes like Kiss, Confession, Living like married couples all were there yet none of them felt out of place or cliched. Author indeed carefully picked setup, progression, characters and atmosphere considering the boundaries of the genre. And also LIDENFILMS deserves the credit to keep the characters as genuine as possible and giving us the stunning visuals. I hope this anime ages well. It has the potential to be a classic of its genre. |

| I've always wanted to go to an observation spot and look at the sky without light pollution. After watching Kimisomu I am longing for it. I envy Japanese people for all the peaceful and beautiful-sighted locations to go camping and skywatching. There is a special magic in doing these activities, let alone as a couple. This magic, the anime conveys it perfectly. Màgari and Ganta can have the top spot for the most wholesome couple of the year. Good new there is still a lot of source material for another season at least, I will wait for it. |

| Nice relaxing show and one of the most real feeling anime out there. The character interactions and dialogue were pretty natural. A high 7/10 bordering on an 8 for me. I lean more towards 7 just because it's not the sort of series I would want to re-watch. |
| Finally Ganta's confession and them taking a picture of each other at the same time was just so cute, perfect way to end the season, loved it as much as the manga |
 |
| As someone who is an insomniac and also dabbled in photography (my DSLR is somewhere sitting in a storage container), I expected so much from this anime. And it did not disappoint! I love that the main focus is really just Ganta and Magari. Little doses of their friends and other characters but don't really take away the focus of the story. No "trying to fit in" or "trying to be friends with everyone" or "getting over insecurities" kind of trope. Just 2 people bonding over shared disorder and finding meaningful things to do at night while falling in love along the way. Best romance anime this season. Maybe I'll read the manga in the future but I'm happy how this anime turned out. I think the beach episode was the best part. |
| good ending but a bit unsatisfying that we never heard magari’s full response, even if we can tell what it would be. Also would have liked to seen a bit of the aftermath rather then just a time skip. Overall an 8/10 for me. |
| clannad is the greatest piece of fiction to ever exist. |
| This final episode solidified what was pretty much already solidified in my mind, this is a 10/10 anime for me, and not the only one from this very Spring season either, and fyi I don’t throw the 10 out often, I just found this to be that good of a show. I didn’t think we’d get a whole confession scene but that was incredibly sweet and satisfying after seeing these two get closer over the course of the whole show, without a doubt one of the best parts of it too. Isaki sadly got grounded but she knew that going in and neither of them regretted their actions a bit, that’s the right attitude to have lol. And ending on reflecting on all of what’s happened in the show was nostalgic and fitting, and these two may have come a long way but they also reminded us that they’re still insomniacs, although things aren’t quite as bad as they used to be, a great way to sum it up. And I’ll reiterate, without a doubt a 10/10 show for me, such a good one man, I really hope it gets another season in the future even tho this ended at a good spot, I just need more lol. And the ED for this show is one of my favorites this season as well, it’s such a good jam and the Isaki visuals go so well with it. And with that, all of my Spring 2023 shows have ended, definitely another amazing spring season to add to the list of spring seasons I was super fond of. |

| As someone who finds the manga quite solid, this adaptation just didn't click for me. While it does hit the main story beats for the most part with some nice OST and brief pretty-looking moments, it just felt inorganic in presentation, immensely lacking in dynamic direction and overall visual quality that would've helped elevate the experience beyond the typical romcom spree, plus the cutting of "fat" severely lessens the emotional impact for particularly important moments. They also seem to be rushing through much of the material as well. Everything just feels more or less going through the motions. It feels like Lidenfilms had a one-hit-wonder with the likes of Call Of The Night, and everything else from them so far has been more or less mediocrity for the most part, which also includes this one imho. I thought this was gonna one of the best things from Spring 2023, but it ends up for me personally as one of the most disappointing, instead. Far from terrible or anything of similar description, but certainly not something I'll find memorable in the end. |
 |
| Boring finale, I skipped half episode my god |
| at least that was a nice ending. liked the first 2 episodes and the last episode but everything else in between bored me and that animation certainly didn't help, the romance was too slow but at least there was progress. thought this was gonna have 'call of the night' level production, if there's another season, i hope it improves. music was nice though. |
 |
| Wow, what a fumble. This was such a good adaptation until the second half of this episodes. I cannot believe they skipped her parents showing up and the most dramatic scene of the manga just so they could have a do nothing ending. 95% of this was still an amazing adaptation but I just can't get over this boneheaded decision. |
| Yeah, that was a top five anime of Spring 2023 personally, and easily the best romance I watched this season as well. In fact, I'd say this was one of my favorite romance anime ever. Cute, wholesome and heartfelt, a really well developed and organic anime. These two have great chemistry as well. Gorgeous audiovisuals to make it even more memorable. 9/10. |

| What an amazing anime this was for me. Watching both main characters develop over the course of the season truly felt satisfying. I also loved how realistic it felt. Sad to see it end for now but I feel optimistic that we’ll get another season. |
 |
| I liked Oshi No Ko and Skip to Loafer, but Insomniacs is my anime of the season. The last episode had it all. The atmosphere, the relationship progressing, Ganta opening up more, a confession under starry skies, the pictures turning out great ... all of that. Took me back to when I was young and having profound conversations late at night with my peers, at school, while staring at the stars in wonder at the universe. Lovely. Perfect. Please announce S2 soon. |
 |
| Beautiful anime from start to end. It made me feel so many emotions. Sometimes it can feel like romance anime is either typical self-insert male audience type or shoujo romance filled with tropes but this one stands out and just feels like something everyone can enjoy. I hope this can get a season 2 |
| How many couples have a photo of a significant moment as cool as this one? This show was very good, I loved watching these two!π€©  |

| When the ED starts playing in the background... I suddenly don't want it to end T--T why does it only have 13 episodes! But omg, I was so nervous and excited when Nakami wanted to confess his love to Magari! The atmosphere, the mood and the place were just right... haha, it was too adorable I actually smiled with tears when watching it :") It was so precious when Nakami said that he will accompany Magari when she gets scolded, I know it's just a simple thing but for some reason I feel it's so precious and I really like it. Aaahhh it's over, it's the end.... it's the finale..... does this have any possibility of getting a second season? :( |
 |
| I had two problems with this The first was that everything was a bit too goody-goody if that makes any sense, it's not like I dislike nice characters but these characters act a bit too textbook The second was that the photography and astronomy scenes always bored me Though the scenery was always pretty Main premise was nice but I had lost interest in the characters by episode 8 or so |
| I'm glad all those red flags didn't mean anything in the end (maybe later in the manga, but that's an issue for a later day) and Ganta confessed. Lovely! 10/10 |
 |
| really liked the confession scene, felt realistic without over the top anime blushing and stuff. felt natural which is why i liked it a lot. overall this was fun. they even won the competition so in the end it was all worth it. 9/10. would really love to see another season. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Really enjoyed this one, I feel like I got all I'd want from it in one season and don't really need more even though I know the manga is still ongoing with a lot more material as I'm sure there will just be annoying drama just to draw things out. I'm good on that. Anyways this was my AOTS 9/10. |
| like everyone before said, the true strength of this anime is the realistic and mature depiction of human beings, their relations and their anxieties. These characters behave and feel like you'd expect them to and the show still tells a dramatic story without shenenigans typical for the medium. In a time of gimmick rom coms, I'm really grateful for that. While I think it's a bit too low key for S2, I'll be binging the manga tonight :D |
| Praying for Season 2 rn. Currently my second favorite anime of the year (Oshi no Ko is obviously still my most favorite). 9/10, only because it's obvious that some things were skipped with the walk through they did in the last few minutes. |
K-Pop? Bias? Nah man, we only know Ai and Ruby Hoshino in this house. |
| Comfy and wholesome episode as always. It felt a bit rushed near the end but still loved the ending regardless. |
| So special for me because this is the last of spring anime, and finally end. Seriously beautiful anime guys. |
| This show was really a gem of an anime considering how rare these types of romance anime are. The show started and ended perfectly and felt refreshing compared to more recent shows airing this season it's really a standout. I don't think this will get a second season but it would be nice to see it happen. But the way it ended, it doesn't require a second season to be produced to enjoy the story. |
| Alright that was the finale!! Beautiful way to end the season. Overall one thing that made me enjoy this anime was the Vibes. I swear it just made me feel good. Solid first season. 7/10 |
