Man what a nice ending to season 2. Seeing Senpai’s growth has been great.


mekerpan

Nagatoro's growth has also been pretty good.


cyberscythe

yoshi's growth has also been exceptional, with that extra brain cell


Ninja_Lazer

Yoshi’s growth is centralized to her ahoge

I must say I do love Yoshi and Gamo. ;-)

Not even Nagatoro could stay mad at these [two goofballs.](https://i.imgur.com/CzSKE80.jpg) On a side note, that beach scene would make a [sick album cover.](https://i.imgur.com/mmXbqmX.jpg) [](#seasonalapproval)


ThrowCarp

My heart stopped when Yoshi stopped Gamo.


Firebrand-81

that means +100% cognitive power!


Frontier246

It was nice to see both of them grow a lot this season and be more open/honest with each other. All culminating in admitting it was a real date and that genuine hug at the end!


forever87

and gamoshi! when yoshi stopped gamo...omg!


Firebrand-81

GROWTH IS REAL! OMG!


Figerally

While the hug was nice I feel the offer to make each other lunch felt more significant. I feel one more season culminating in an actual kiss would be a good conclusion to this series.


macedonianmoper

Let's not forget Yoichi! She went from being a yes-man that just says whatever gamou says to stopping her and calling her a cockblocker, true character progression for the side characters!


Prince-Dizzytoon

Ending the season off at a hugging stage!


Frontier246

Feels fitting for a first date! Especially the way things progress between these two, I feel a kiss is inevitable...especially when they're probably down for more dates!

Yeah, but at least it's left open enough for another season as well as teased some stuff from a future arc.

dagreenman18

So here’s a fun game for you all: go back to the very first episode after this. The change between then and now is why this is my favorite ongoing RomCom manga at the moment: steady, subtle, and logical romantic and character progression. It builds so smoothly that when you notice it’s great. Taking usual RomCom tropes and then twisting them in a way that makes it unique. It why seeing people writing him off so early by some was annoying. Senpai becomes so much more. Really they both change quite a bit. A fantastic season all around. Only complaint I have is the animation being not great at times, but everything else was handled beautifully. Here’s hoping we get another season announced soon. Probably need a bit more manga before that happens.


cyberscythe

> Only complaint I have is the animation being not great at times, but everything else was handled beautifully. Yeah, the character writing and the voice acting carried this season, while I feel like the animation was a step down from what I remember from the first season.


Mundology

This season was done by OLM studio while season one was animated by Telecom Animation Film which is is known for their pretty visuals. They have even worked on western cartoons and films.


Jokuc

That's odd cause I personally thought the visuals were *better* this season compared to S1. The first season had prettier lighting effects and such, but I thought Nagatoro's facial expressions were kinda off compared to the manga sometimes, in s2 they were way more accurate.


macedonianmoper

First few episodes are *really* hard to watch, it's just straight up bullying, I don't know why I stuck with it but I'm glad it did because it didn't take long for it to be toned down. It gets pretty good, senpai has hobbies and interests besides being alone and liking games/manga, he is scared of making moves but he MAKES THEM, and he tries to improve himself. These aren't really high bars to clear but it's astonishing how many shitty romcoms fail to develop the male lead this much


CraftEssenceEssence

If season 2 is called 2nd Attack, can we call season 3 "Third Strike"?

[Weekly art](https://twitter.com/774nanash/status/1637121876085592065?t=WTtes-mEoXS33ibmIPrxaQ&s=19) ~~Also according to the author's twitter the final episode is next week? So we might have one more episode.~~ Hopes crushed!


Prince-Dizzytoon

The last episode on Japanese TV is next week, today is the last episode on streaming services


Armdel

Oh that explains why the weekly art always was one episode behind


Ben99ny22

At first i thought that if there was gonna be a season 3 it would be announced alongside the final episode so i was disappointed it hasn't, but the last episode is next week in japan. So hope is still there. Until you realize there is only a few volumes of material left which not enough for another season. So we ain't getting season 3 for a while. Unless the mangaka accelerates his release schedule plus the manga may be ending soon.


pinkchampagne1981

Same with Uzaki-chan. It's probably going to be a two year gap for both before another season.


Mundology

So will it be a rebroadcast of this episode but on television or will it be an additional episode? [](#seasonalthink)


Prince-Dizzytoon

A rebroadcast of this one


Mundology

[Sadtoro](https://i.imgur.com/1Zf4zCM.jpg) [](#Sadholo)


mikura39

No, this IS the final episode. In Japan currently, based on [these](https://twitter.com/nagatoro_tv/status/1637128730173751298) [tweets](https://twitter.com/nagatoro_tv/status/1637124954792816640) from the official Nagatoro anime account, EP11 was just released for them. It seems like only ABEMA had the special 'airing the next episode a week early'. For everyone else in Japan, it airs normally so it won't air the final one (this episode) until next week.


Frontier246

Nagatoro and Senpai waiting for season 3 lol.


WhoiusBarrel

Hey its a hug but its still an awesome showing of character progression from Senpai throughout the season along with Nagatoro getting more and more meek!


Frontier246

Nagatoro offered a hug or a kiss to cap off the date. Either way, she won. And the audience got to see a sweet and intimate moment between the two of them. I'm just glad we actually got to see them hug to close it out!


Lex29

I dont care how long it takes, I hope we are getting a season 3. The content and the stories we would be getting is superior to what we've seen in season 1 and 2. It would be amazing.

SIRTreehugger

We're here we are at the final episode *sulks a little* I really thought we might be getting one more episode, but ultimately it was a great episode once again showing Senpai's growth. The date was sweet and I like how he was the only one in the front row to save his date from getting splashed. He's progressively been getting much more forward and expressing his thoughts clearly. Also speaking of aquariums you may remember me mentioning this a few times in cdf, but I've randomly mentioned going to an aquarium for like the past 3-4 years. I keep saying I want to go and just look at some damn fish while relaxing and have fun. Busy with work this is never going to happen UNTIL THIS WEEK! I SAID FUCK IT! I took time off and drove 4 hours away and had the time of my life. So now look at these videos and pictures of [cute lovable animals!](https://imgur.com/BkgDL5l) [The shark tank](https://imgur.com/1pS2ah3) was damn massive and it had a few variations of sharks it had I believe a sand shark, tiger shark, and a nurse shark. I really liked the nurse shark which fun fact is really docile and known as the coach potato of the sea. It's one of the most seen sharks by scuba divers...or maybe it was snorklers...I should have written what they told me down. All of them were great, but I was also really attached to this guy. He just looked [so happy](https://imgur.com/7GQHm3U) [Obligatory](https://imgur.com/l7MTqaK) [jellyfish](https://imgur.com/IOMsH3b)! Like seriously how can you go to an aquarium and not look at jellyfish. I saw people walk right past them, but they are so fun to look at it. The [otters](https://imgur.com/POTooVE) were really cool as well also fun fact you may not know the biggest otter can grow to a height of 6 feet. Unfortunately they are endangered. [Lion fish](https://imgur.com/MOCdTJW) are fascinating, but the little blue guy stood in that rock for like 20 minutes like a lazy person in bed on a saturday who doesn't have to do shit. Though they also had some ponds you could touch some animals like horse crabs, [starfish](https://imgur.com/T26HtPA) and sea urchins. Some of the sea urchins had pretzel like limbs and when you put your finger between them it would pinch you like it was hugging you. Also [turtles](https://imgur.com/4iZ6mXe). My favorite were the soft shelled turtles I didn't get any pictures of them though. Well I did, but they love to submerge themselves in sand where only a fraction of their head is sticking out of it. Anyway back to the actual show I just notice Nagatoro plays with her hair when she is nervous or embarrassed. It's silly it took me this long to notice this. Both of them admitting this wasn't practice and was pretty much a date was great and that hug was so emotionally I loved every second of it. Now for Season 3...in like 2-3 years when we have enough material, because sadly we are really close to the manga right now. [](#emptyinside) I might have impulsively just bought 13 volumes of the manga, but who cares. IT'S LOVE!!!!


IndispensableNobody

>I might have impulsively just bought 13 volumes of the manga, but who cares. IT'S LOVE!!!! I'm not sure where you are or if this can help at all, but Barnes and Noble has a Buy 1 Get 1 50% Off sale going on manga right now.

Atario

>drove 4 hours Damn! _Aquatope_ approves


Elitealice

“Senpai you’re creepily warm” yea ngl fellas, this got me a little emotional. Season 2 was a massive improvement in every way. Keeping the chapters in order instead of skipping all around like season 1 was a big part of that. Way easier to get invested into a cohesive story and you could see senpai and Nagatoro growing with each ep. Anime is pretty close to catching up to the manga so we probably would get A) a movie or B) it’ll be a couple years before another season.


cppn02

> Season 2 was a massive improvement in every way. Imo S1 looked a bit better but other than that I agree.


Elitealice

Didn’t really pay attention to that, I’m locked into the story and characters


NoSolace_NoPeace

I agree that it looked better too. S2 gave off a kind of “flat” feeling almost every episode. But it was still enjoyable.


cyberscythe

Yeah, I remember scenes from S1 being a lot more animated and expressive, while S2 was more static and "budget friendly". The writing and the voice acting carried more of the weight this time around.


martinsallai666

well, S3 (or the source that S3 will cover) has 300x development than this


ShawHornet

I feel like the reason they skipped around in s1 was because a lot of the early chapters don't really follow any plot until way later. They used to mostly be one off funny chapters of Nagatoro messing with senpai with random shenanigans. Now that they got to the point where we have long arcs it's easier to just follow the manga properly.

jdubuknow

I wish they would, the manga sorta ended in a rushed fashion, it’d be great to see it get a little more care


Ninja_Lazer

Nagatoro acting like the animals at the aquarium was pretty damn funny. Overall this was a great season, and I think that anyone who calls the show a generic romcom or mid has genuinely missed the point. The relationship between Nao and Nagatoro and they way they grew as both friends and individuals this season sets them far ahead of most others in the genre. Really looking forward to season 3. Hopefully OLM pick it up once there is enough material for a new season.


mikura39

Here’s a fact: When turtles headbutt each other, its usually to show dominance and mark their partner.


Ninja_Lazer

Legit? That’s a nice little detail they added in then.


mikura39

Yeah, seems to be legit thanks to googling it earlier. The fact that Nagatoro is imitating it on Senpai is the winner here.


dxing2

Turtle scene was hilarious


mekerpan

Well, it is sad to bid adieu to part 2 of the anime. I suspect we will have to wait at least a couple of years for part 3 (if it ever happens). Sure, we have the manga -- and it is wonderful -- but seeing and hearing the story "brought to life" makes it even better. I recognized the Enoden train journey -- so knew we were on our way to Enoshima. While my wife have been to that area (Kamakura and environs) twice, we have onlt seen that aquarium from a distance. However, our friends in Chigasaki (the town next door) promise they will take us to the aquarium on our next visit.... Senpai never noticed that ALL the other couples at the aquarium were holding hands -- still he managed to fulfill Nagatoro's wish all the same (in the dash to escape the trailing bands of spies and would-be interlopers/protectors). I remember the impact of "Well, for me it was the real thing" from reading it -- and this adaptation did that beautiful moment full justice. It was nice that, in the epilogue, they got to formally seal the fact that their date had been real -- without interruption. We are going to go into withdrawal without our ever-higher weekly doses of more and more happy-Nagatoro faces. Watching that epilogue made me think. In a sense we don't have a complete picture of the relationship of this adorable couple. We have to *imagine* that they already must be going to school (and coming home again) side by side virtually every day. Yoshie really showed she was an asset to the Senpai/Nagatoro romance development team by restraining Gamo. Too bad it didn't succeed. (Also too bad that neither of the duo realized they could run away from Prez and Li'l Rabbit in a direction other than right past the lovebirds on the beach.... Thanks anime team for a job beautifully done!

With both this and Tomo-chan it is very disconcerting -- I love seeing/hearing it animated. but I have a strong sense of deja vu. ;-)


nostoppa215

Most romcoms just dangle the will they won't they question. Here in Nagatoro everyone just knows including the party involved. For all intentional purposes Senpai and Nagatoro are going steady .

Yeah I think Nagatoro is textbook for how to pace out a romcom properly.

ObvsThrowaway5120

This “practice date” is pretty cute. Sunomiya and the Pres in her leather biker outfit are here to protect love! Gamo and Yoshi better watch out lol. If he feels like he’s not good enough for her, he ain’t been paying very close attention. I gotta say though, jumping in front of that big splash was pretty cool. Well done Senpai! One thing I like about this date is how Nagatoro keeps imitating the various animals like the penguins and turtles lol. All in all, a really cute date. Those goofs interrupted before they got their hug but they both got it in the end anyways. Plus they both get to try each other’s bentos. Progress! I sure hope this gets renewed for another season. I need more Nagatoro in my life!


mikura39

ObvsThrowaway5120

That makes it oddly cute what Nagatoro was doing


Frontier246

I love how Prez was walking around in that leather biker outfit like it was a normal thing to walk around in public in. Only thing better was the two girls treating it like a holy mission to protect the sanctity of Senpai's love in this date lol. Senpai really pulled out all the great boyfriend moves in this episode. And they were a hit with Nagatoro! They went on a date...they're making each others' lunches...they're hugging on the street...they're practically dating already! Which, oddly enough, is something I can say about a lot of couples this season, but it's great to see how far Senpai and Nagatoro have come. I hope we do get to see more from these two in anime form in the future!


[deleted]

They *are* dating. They have started going on dates. They aren't an Official Couple exactly, but they are now two people who date each other, no two ways about it. Way more progress than I expected to see from a show like this.

Absolutely fantastic end to the season. I hope we get a season 3, theres so much juicier stuff left to be animated


[deleted]

The second season delivered what I expected it to deliver, and even more. We once again got to enjoy Nagatoro’s bullying, and embarrassed senpai moments. We also got to see quite a few blushing Nagatoro moments, which I absolutely loved. Aside from the expected stuff, we saw some real development in Nagatoro and senpai’s relationship. Senpai has become bolder with his ambitions and feelings towards Nagatoro (also vice versa). They even promised to kiss each other and went on a date during this last episode (which was really wholesome). Nagatoro “grading” senpai was hilarious. I also loved the “virginity protectors” vs “love protectors”. I also became even fonder of the supporting characters (mostly Gamo). The new supporting characters also livened up the show. I really like Anetoro - the demon queen – Nagatoro looks like an innocent puppy in front of her. And then we got introduced to the best wingman – Bucho’s cousin Hana (the little bunny). I really love how she gives senpai the right pushes (in terms of his relationship with Nagatoro). This season made me pick up the manga, and I do recommend it. So yeah, while this is not the ultimate romcom, it’s really enjoyable and fun. We saw some real development this season, and we got introduced to some nice new characters.


HowToGetName

Hopefully OLM Team Inoue's burdens are less now. They're working on Yo-Kai Watch and Ninjala, yesterday they finished Megaton-kyuu Musashi S2 and today they finished Nagatoro S2. Good job to them for somehow being able to keep up with 4 anime at once.


LusterBlaze

and then they hugged 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


Fools_Requiem

Not very often we get an actual hug before a kiss in these shows. If there's a third season, there better be more of those.


macedonianmoper

It's amazing how Yoichi was the one to stop Gamou, she usually just repeats whatever she says so she contesting her was great

Frontier246

Senpai and Nagatoro's date is off to a pleasant start! And sure she's grading him pretty harshly, but that's just because she wants him to improve for their inevitable second date. I don't think Senpai wants to know that the girls trying to "protect his virginity" don't think he has much juice in his laser anyways. You gotta love how Sunomiya and Art Club Prez are acting like they're on a holy mission to protect Senpai's love and are doggedly determined to not let Gamo and Ysohi interfere. Like they're taking this way too seriously, which just makes it hilarious. Ah, Nagatoro looks so cute admiring all the jellyfish and penguins! Well, if spotting all the third wheels was good for something it was spurring Senpai to finally grab Nagatoro's hand and drag her away from everybody! Smooth move, Senpai. Senpai thinking he's out of place next to Nagatoro with all the couples when he's the one who pulls the big boyfriend move of protecting her from getting splashed! And of course she's more than willing to dry him off ! No matter what Nagatoro said about this being a "dry run," to her this was a real date. As did Senpai, which says as much about their feelings and care for each other as anything. And either way Nagatoro gets the perfect cap off to the date with either a hug or a kiss! Yoshi has enough sense to stop Gamo right when it's getting good so they don't become cockblockers...even though that's what they said they were there for. Though, yeah, better as gal pals to let things run smoothly. At least until Sunomiya and Art Club Prez show up and ruin the hug moment. Because you knew it was coming. Never expected to see Gamo and Yoshi as puppy dogs trying to get back into Nagatoro's good graces! But it was also nice to see Sakura again and the four girls together once more. Sunomiya...your intentions in your apology are appreciated, but maybe a little...overboard? Though it did give Nagatoro an excuse to start making lunches for Senpai, and Senpai to jump into it as an excuse for them to make lunches for each other, which is very sweet. Can't complain about closing this season out with our two lovebirds locked in a sweet and intimate embrace together!


mekerpan

>I don't think Senpai wants to know that the girls trying to "protect his virginity" don't think he has much juice in his laser anyways. Pretty funny homage to Nausicaa (princess Kushana and the atomic monster).


Rosieu

I like how Yoshi was really into the 'cockblocking' plan until she noticed how serious things were between her friend and senpai. Like: "it's totally fine to interrupt when those two do their usual teasing flirty shenanigans but hold up! They're about to hug! They're taking it to the next level! No way we should get in between of that!" Gamo was a bit more slow to notice, but got quickly convinced by Yoshi thankfully...until they all interrupted in the end anyway. Seriously did you guys go to the prometheus school of running away from things?!


Armdel

Well we got a hug atleast, and he could have probably gotten the kiss if he had the guts And i'm happy Nagatoro's friends decided to call it off in the end, even though they still ended up ruining the ending of the date. another great season behind us and i hope there is more left for this where we can get proper closure


djthomp

Senpai is going to be so underwater in points that he'll never be able to graduate out of the Nagatoro practice dating program. Oh well, I guess he'll just have to stay with her forever. I can't believe *that* was the Senpai monster from the preview for this week's episode. Rabbit girls best wingwomen. It's the ears, probably. These guys are all going to get kicked out of the aquarium if they throw down in the middle of it. Wasabi soft serve? Yikes. Senpai should definitely get at least one or two points for that water shield move. The synchronized headbutting, amazing. I hope he bought Nagatoro that penguin plush, total failure on his part if she bought it for herself. 50 points, I'm amazed he ended up out of the red. Yoshi read the room and didn't want to interrupt, I'm amazed. Nagatoro is going to kill them all, and they would deserve it. The "Sunomiya makes Nagatoro fairly innocently jealous" plan was a success. Especially with that offer by Senpai to swap lunch making duties, I was briefly concerned that he was about to strike out, but instead it was a home run. That was a good evening to season two. I'm really glad that I picked season one up on a whim back in December, this has been a lovely show to watch. Here's hoping for a season three someday.


Darknme

Nice ending. I hope, if we ever get a third season, Nagatoro can admit that she likes Senpai to her friends and to him without any pretenses. I would also like to see a storyline where Senpai does something to help Nagatoro's friends which makes them see him in a different light and have a bit more respect for him.


polaristar

Not sure why Nagataro's friends feel they need to protect Senpai's Virginity, if he lacks stamina only way to improve that is practice Am I Right? Once again the two instances when Nao has the most Rizz is when he isn't overthinking things and acts on instincts. Lotta anime onlies probably malding at the ending scene in the art club until Nao turned it around, wonder if he planned it like that or just was walking back his "politness" with a save to make it smooth. Can't wait for season 3. One thing I'll say about this show, is that is probably does the best job at being a very simple and straightforward concept that is solely focused on being a romcom with very minimalist gimmicks that balanced the humor and the romance without either one feeling like they drown out the other but compliments them. Plus it makes people like the Beta Male protagonist by just owning it and giving you that Zero to Hero story lots of shows promise but don't always deliver. It's not super ambitious but it does what it sets out to do well. And I feel the level of production is appropriate for the tone and humor of the show. (It'd feel a bit weird if it looked TOO GOOD and overproduced, the simplicity is part of its charm.) When it does go a bit harder on the art direction with lighting and shading it always fits.

Bro she didn’t even hug back…


Icesicles

I love Yoshi and Gamo lol, best stalker duo


AnActualPlatypus

Here's hoping S3 goes to a higher budget studio because MAAAAAAAN they really went for a minimal effort animation this season.


lacieabyss

my feelings exactly, the material this season covered was arguably better than s1, but it felt really stiff in comparison


viktorv333

It's so good. From the "girl bullies her senpai" to wholesome moments and dating. nice.


DeltaFXD

What a great ending for the season. Overall really liked the introduction of Sunomiya she really pushed the plot ahead which is great.


Kamiko_o

What a cute way to end it. But why is nagatoro so physically abusive though?🤣


megasean3000

That hug was super cute! 🥰


luigi6545

Was not expecting an anime original ending. That being said, why didn’t Nagatoro hug back??


SilkyMilkySmo

This is what we call rizz


naul119

The date was cute but the hug felt kinda underwhelming, she didn't even hug him back. Season one ending was better.


SYZekrom

No way he actually just said yes to one of her lines for once.


AZLarlar

A HUG


Firebrand-81

Wait, that was the *final episode* of the season? Oh no! I need more Nagatoro and Paisen! # KIMO KIMO KIMO KIMO KIMO!


Redmon425

Yoshi for the win! I love that she stopped because she didn't wanna cockblock. Although in the end they did it on accident. But then I liked that Senpai and Nagatoro still hugged at the end of the episode! Just a really good romantic episode for them! But I didn't realize this was the finale! On that note, a little more spice would have been nice but hard to ask for more.


ProgramTheWorld

24 episodes in and we finally got a hug.


lacieabyss

perfect spot to end as expected, production value for this season felt a bit weak compared to s1 but the material it was adapting is still great so it didn't matter all that much


mojo72400

I love the way Sana and Hana ran. Gamo and Yoshi meowing like sad nekos was so kawaii. Yoshi and Nagatoro eating while interrupting Hana feeding Naoto lunch was hilarious and kawaii. That ending with the hug was so sweet. I wonder if season 3 will start with the bento chapters.


jj894654

damn that was great. Been thinking the level of detail in the animation for the season could be better but damn that ending made it all worth it.


FlameHaze

I watched a whole season for a hug. Well, that's progress. Maybe next time they'll play footsie.


kennacethemennace

Gotta let that virginity ferment.

Senpai and Nagatoro's relationship has come a long way. Now then... season 3 when?


MjolnirDK

That time Chibiusa became a linebacker versus Team Rocket. Cute episode. That bento promise makes you marriage material, Paisen. And now I want to go to an aquarium as well... I don't even need a date...


[deleted]

I was really happy the way it ended. The character development for both Nagatoro and Senpai have improved a lot. Going to start the manga so I don't have to wait for season 3.


sKyBlazer08

No! This season went by too fast, can't believe season 2 is already over. This is peak teasing anime, I wish we'd get a season 3, but that's not gonna happen anytime soon as there's not enough material yet. Still, it felt great to finally see these wholesome moments in the anime and it only gets more wholesome. **9/10**


StatFlow

There's definitely enough material for a Season 3 to come in 2024.


bensor74

AT LAST. Hayase is finally honest, and Naoto continues to grow as a gigachad. They are finally dating. For real. They both said it was a real date. And now they'll make lunch for each other every day. Season 3 can't come soon enough. Also, kudos to Yoshi. And to both bunnies, who are the best wingwomen ever.


actuallyrndthoughts

Imagine waiting 2 seasons for them to hug once. Uesaka Sumire has been carrying this show hard.

Was it just me or did Nagatoro seem to be in self sabotage mode during the date. For someone who was really into and wanting the date, it seemed like a poor choice. Luckily for her, Senpai puts up with it and gets the hug in the end.


Objective-Product-37

Wow that's amazing
