Overall, I gave this anime an 8/10.
Contrary to many of the reviews giving a low rank to Last Period, I personally think quite a bit of thought went into the plot and gimmicks throughout the show. It genuinely did surprise me, because it is not the kind of humour I usually find in anime. It's been compared favourably to Konosuba, but I think the humour is entirely different. Konosuba's humour is character-driven. Here, the humour arises from puns and by characters breaking the 4th wall. For example, at one point they were referencing the Iphone v Android debate.
Likewise, the show put in a lot of effort into world-building and in changing the narrative style of the show. For example, in episode 5 they presented the whole show as a documentary. In episode 10 they attempted to make the c…

I cannot possibly bring myself to rate this at higher than 4/10 after thinking through all the good and bad parts of this show. I feel like the overall rating of this show should be around a point lower than it is now, it doesn't deserve even a 6.61/10 score.
This thing is just so damn insipid. It's seemingly supposed to make fun of, or otherwise show, jrpg mechanics and I do recognize all the jokes where it tries to be funny since I've played my fair share of games, I just don't find them to be that amusing. There were a few funny parts here and there, but most of the time I just find it to be a miracle that I even managed to sit through all 12 episodes. Some episodes had to be put on twice the speed just to get done sooner, that's how bad it was sometimes.
Here we have a boring cast of…

Considering this came out around the time I got heavily invested into Fate/Grand Order, an anime about a JP gacha game was very fitting. Doesn’t exactly make it a good anime though. I was never that big of a fan of referential humor. If you play gacha games, you’ll understand most of the references and jokes. Whether or not you’ll find that funny is another thing. I understood the references, but it was ultimately something I’d just say “Yeah, I get that” and move on without giving it any extra thought. There were probably about 2-3 episodes that I truly found myself enjoying. Most of the humor didn’t hit for me and the episodes that weren’t anime/gacha references were absolutely boring to sit through. The main cast were all completely forgettable outside of Choco. She’s the type of charac…

An entertaining garbage tier story that somehow manages to be enjoyable. Fantasy JRPG style (based on one afterall), with typical characters.
If you like typical fantasy stories and also enjoy stupidity, you're gonna enjoy this.
I would be lying if I said I managed to keep all of my brain cells after watching that. I was either facepalming or laughing at the level of stupidity of this througout its entirety. The story is ridiculously predictable and incredibly cheesy. God, that writing is awful. Or maybe it isn't, because I still ended up enjoying the show. I would only recomend this to those who can tolerate quite a lot of what I like to call stupidity. The show is stupid, but enjoyable.
7/10, dumb but enjoyable.

What KonoSuba parodied with the isekai genre, Last Period does for the mobile game adaptation genre!
Last Period: Owarinaki Rasen no Monogatari is one and ONLY comedy anime LA watched during the current Spring 2018 and to be honest LA really didn't expect this from Last Period: Owarinaki Rasen no Monogatari and it delivered in the comedy genre in spades!
Because of how much LA has been playing mobile games from Fire Emblem Heroes, Fate Grand Order, Deresute, Mirishita, Symphogear XD Unlimited, Kirara Fantasia and even Shinobi Master Senran Kagura New Link (no seriously), LA knows the struggles of being F2P player and Last Period: Owarinaki Rasen no Monogatari takes the concepts for getting 5 Stars and toys with that as well as the many concepts that mobile gaming has given us in the proc…

Last Period is J.C.Staff's take on Konosuba with the gacha-like "Happy Elements" elementary skills that are sprinkled in for some insane kind of fun. And therefore, it's not surprising that many game adaptations bear close resemblance to the actual games that they come from, but few come close in between, and this is a good derivative.
The first thing that is noticed with gacha game adaptations will be the monotone characters and the same settings (albeit with a background or sprite hack of the same thing, e.g. just look at the same mayor with different personalities alike)...at least in theory.
The characters are really nothing special, whilst they do have their traits, and TL;DR, they are unique into serving their roles while providing some comedy in their adventures across the world t…

[Disclaimer: This review was originally posted on May 4, 2018, after four episodes had aired. It has been deleted and then re-uploaded so that it doesn't get buried as a preliminary. However, no major changes were made to the review, as Last Period was consistent throughout its run, so no new points needed to be made.]
If you’re ever unsure about watching something because it’s unpopular and has a low MAL score, here’s my suggestion: you should take one of your hands and quickly slap yourself in the face with it. Repeat this action until you have it burned into you that this is not a good way to judge anime.
But, skepticism is always welcome, so if you’re just here to gauge opinions, here’s one: Last Period is one of the best anime of the season, as someone who tends to be a pretty big f…

Sugar. Spice. And everything nice. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girls. But Professor Nippon accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction... Back full of dicks. Thus the Powerpuff Traps were born. Using their ultra-supergayness, Choco, Haru, Gajeru and Liza have dedicated their lives to fighting crime and the forces of evil.
When I started watching Last Period, I thought it was farts. I was constantly memeing how it's a show about girls who won't even have their firsts (because they have pee-pees) and whatnot. After some 5 episodes, I changed my mind. This show is the Japanese Adventure Time, and quite funny too.
From it's core, Last Period is a parody towards J-RPG games/cliches. If you don't know what J-RPG is, it is basically an RPG game,…

Recently gacha mobile games have been taking up more of the video game landscape. With more gacha games being released each year and many of them getting their own anime, it should be expected that a show like Last Period would come along and decide to parody the whole system. What is more surprising is how well the show is able to do that.
While there are a lot of gacha jokes that could be made, after all the system and its likeness to gambling make it an easy target of parody and jokes. Just look at any gacha board's subreddit and you will be drowning in memes about the low return on value for spending their precious currency in order to get 1 star common trash unit. And while Last Period has those jokes, it actually has so much more than just that. The comedy is on point, and is done…
