Fine, twist my arm, will you? I'll review it.
I had no idea this season even airing. I only found out now, because I just rewatched the series. And after the disaster that the 2nd one was, I was not really hyped. But I was willing enough. The high ratings also helped.
So. Visuals. Well, we have the usual stuff that happens with series that pan over a long period of time. We got a mix of the old aesthetics drawn using modern techniques. Stuff that was funny and endearing in the 1st season, looks silly now, but we also got super amazing shots and vibrant colours etc. The cinematography is meh, the animation feels meh. Because of the "themes" for this season, we get lots and lots of pink bubbles, and shapes, and tinted layer. Lucky us... But yeah, those super amazing shots do make for great…

Season 3 feels like a gift to longtime fans. It doesn’t rely on big drama or shocking twists—instead, it chooses to focus on the small, quiet things that make a relationship feel real.
What stood out the most to me is how the anime shows that communication isn’t always smooth. Even someone as green-flag as Kazehaya still gets nervous, embarrassed, and insecure. Sawako doesn’t suddenly become good at expressing herself or magically understand everything either. They move forward slowly, but steadily—and that’s exactly what makes it so sweet.
Another thing that makes this season stand out is how the friend group also grows. It’s not just about Sawako and Kazehaya. Their friends have their own stories and development, and it makes the world feel alive. Sawako’s life doesn’t revolve solely a…

Like the others one, this season was really good, with no doubt this anime is one of the best ever created when we talk about romance and it's one of my fav's.
First when i saw it has 5 ep's about a hour long each i was confused, but every one of them was gone in an instant, they we re so good and the ideea wasnt bad at all i would say, i really enjoyed it anyway.
The story continues and it gives us more than we wanted, we had our happy moments but a bit sad one's tho, anyway i can see the good in every one of them.

kazehaya is the most rage baiting male main character that i have ever seen, he is not that bad as a character but he's just so boring and plain. he does most of the time nothing in the series, and he just stresses sawako about their relationship because he barely talked to her.
apart from that the series was a very good one, vere wholesome and sweet. i really liked watching it, anyone who likes romance would like this one too. It has a bit drama into it too, but the story was very good with the characters. the characters had sometimes miscomunacations (or however you spell that) and that annoyed me a bit but overall a very good series

Kimi ni Todoke is one of the more well-known anime from the shoujo genre. The third season is certainly an improvement from the first two, but it still suffers from the same issues as the first two seasons. Now, before we start, I’d like to say that I’m a sucker for romance anime, I’ve watched way too many. And also, I’m a fan of slow-burn. Which is 100% what Kimi no Todoke is. (Also, apologies if Kimi no Todoke is written where Kimi ni Todoke should be, autocorrect is not on my side today.)
The side characters of Kimi ni Todoke really get to shine in this season, and I’d say that’s the best aspect of it. Sawako (MC) still takes center stage, and is still—as always, her wholesome, kind self, and watching her explore her new experiences is definitely a highlight, but these are unfortunatel…

You know how you can watch a hundred different anime shows — action, romance, comedy, whatever — but there’s always that one that stays in your heart forever? That one show that doesn't just entertain you but makes you feel something deep, something you can’t even properly explain with words? For me, that anime is Kimi ni Todoke, and after finishing Season 3… I don’t think I’ll ever be the same.
I’ve never been in love myself, but watching Sawako go through her journey felt like I was experiencing it for the first time too. From being misunderstood and called “Sadako” to becoming this blooming, vibrant girl — it’s like watching a flower finally get sunlight. I genuinely smiled when she smiled, and felt that lump in my throat when she was sad. It’s crazy how connected I felt.
Sawako is...…

Yet another Anime with a loser MC guy
Over the past few weeks, I binge-watched Kimi ni Todoke from season 1 through season 3. While this series is undeniably wholesome and heartwarming, it has some problems too. At the heart of its flaws lies the protagonist, Kazehaya.
Let me be blunt: Kazehaya is a cuck. Kazehaya is not as bad as the MCs cucks you see in other romance series, but he's getting close there. The deeper you dive into the story, the clearer it becomes that he ranks among the most underwhelming, spineless leads in romance anime. He spends most of his screen time imagining useless and boring scenarios about their relationship, which resulted in him not talking or spending time with Sawako. For a guy supposedly in love, he barely acts like a boyfriend until the eleventh hour. K…

10 years of waiting for a continuation and personally it was worth every year of waiting. Objectively the creative decisions that were made may not have been the best for the work.
In my heart the season gets a 10, because seeing Sawako and company once again made me really happy. Reliving memories from 10 years ago and seeing where my life was then and how it is now was a good exercise in reflection and nostalgia. As for the story, the fact that Sawako and Kazehaya's relationship has developed on a secondary level is appreciated because it allows the secondary characters to have more screen time. Seeing the clumsy progress of Ryuu and Chizuru was something tender to see, as two teenagers try to cross that thin line from a friendship of years to a romantic relationship. The story arc of A…

(this is more of a personal review, just for my own logging)
I was pretty astonished by this season! The slow, yet enjoyable pace of the first two seasons were pleasant. I know the ride I signed up for and had a great time doing so. We got plenty of developments this time around, and the episodes felt a little bit more like movies. So many things happened; twists and turns throughout the whole season, and the pay-off overall felt rewarding, deserved, and satisfying.
The music - incredible. Art-style was, once again like previous seasons, soft, yet detailed. You can go from cute chibi style to some artistic pieces that could serve well as legitimate pieces. AND they knew when to use them appropriately and tastefully! I found myself laughing plenty of times, feeling the emotions of the cha…

I was a big fan of the Kimi ni Todoke anime in the beginning, but my excitement dwindled as it progressed. However, I must say that the third season is one of the best pure romance seasons I've ever watched. The characters are realistic and well-written. Even though their flaws make them relatable, it can be tough to watch at times due to the realistic portrayal of romance. The series handles the conflict well with detailed explanations, and I'm hopeful that it will continue to receive more seasons and conclude every story as effectively as it did in season 3. In my opinion, it's a strong candidate for anime of the year and best romance anime of the year.
Overall Rating: 9/10

It's a shame to say I only started watching Kimi Ni Todoke after season 3 came out. I've always seen scenes of this anime on social media apps, but I just never gave it a try for some reason. I just know how happy all Kimi Ni Todoke og fans felt when season 3 came out, because what I just watched, is truly a masterpiece of an anime.
Where do I even begin? Sawako being able to convey her feelings to everyone made me feel really happy inside. Let me mention, Sawako and I share the same MBTI personality; INFP. So, you can't comprehend how much watching Sawako made me emotional and it really hit me deep in my heart. I found myself crying and laughing at the same time throughout this entire anime. It was able to easily pierce through my heart and make me feel things I cannot explain.
I'd be…

This season is everything I wanted from Kimi ni Todoke.
The first two seasons are pretty good, but this season completely enraptured me. To me, the first two seasons were simply the prologue, and now the real story has finally begun.
All the side characters get a spotlight, and honestly they are some of the best in the entire show. Ayane in particular solidified her spot as my favorite character, she was given a lot more depth and her inner conflict is super intriguing. The main couple finally gets to explore what being committed is like, and how to navigate that, which is always more interesting to me than the classic "when will they confess" rollercoaster. I love all the characters, I love seeing them navigate their problems, I love seeing them grow and bond and interact. The writing…

Kimi ni Todoke is a story I cherish a lot. I was so excited to read that we would be receiving a new season. Watching the first episode I was taken aback by how well each episode seamed together so smoothly. The art style resembles the original and improves on it as well. Each expression is captivated so beautifully.
Watching the characters interact with one another brought me such joy. Every moment of the show had me reflecting the emotions that were displaying in front of me. I cried, I laughed, and I fell in love with each of the characters all over again.

It was really great to see everyone again and get another season of this great story. I was not a super fan of the hour-long episode approach, but it was still nice to get the equivalent of 10 more episodes. It also gave me time to reflect on how much I've changed since I last watched this anime.
The good points were still the good points. The characters are easy to root for and their are a lot of big ticket emotional moments throughout the season. Now that I'm older, there were some things that are meant to be seen as romantic that I just didn't find romantic anymore, but I did appreciate that they were moments of growth for the characters none the less.
I hope that we get to see some more episodes and finish the story. I know if we get more I'll definitely watch it. I really enjoy th…

Kimi ni Todoke was my first school romance shoujo I watched when I was 17 and new to my anime journey, it instantly fell into my top 10 of all time for me, and at the age of 24, it hasn't changed. For years, I was hoping that we would get a continuation of the anime and I was slowly losing hope as the last season was in 2011. But boom, one day on Twitter it's finally announced! SEASON 3! The way I screamed, you don't even understand - FINALLY! I just finished watching season 3 and I'm so happy.
The story picks things up from the previous season, but this time our favourite people, Sawako and Kazehaya, are now officially a couple! And we get to see how they navigate and get used to their new dynamic. It had ups and downs, and at times they can be a little corny, but overall, it was so hear…

So, I was a general guy who had watched Naruto and Black Clover thinking Shonen anime was good and blasting but incidentally I somehow got recommended and then after watching "Kawai Hostel of Guide and Manners" or "Bakura wa minna kawaisou" I believed that some good romance still is there waiting for me. I then stepped in the domain of Kimi ni todoke and all I can that it's magical in every aspect. I mean Sawa-san as I call her, she is so simple and she thinks so much and that's why I think she is considered as outcast by her class and then she found Kazehaya who is her light bringing her to the domains of light where she can think (she should shine as she is such a sweet loving girl) and that's all I can say for Kimi ni todoke without spoiling much for people who still haven't seen this a…

this show is truly wonderful.
it's heartwarming, funny and charming.
the fact this has came back after over a decade in such a true to the original way with most of the original VA's is such a blessing to any fan of romance.
the story is a bit more nuanced than other shoujo/romances but still is a high school shoujo so you know what to expect but where the difference lies is in the cast. I find them very interesting and fun to learn more about as the story progresses. In the 3rd season, we really get to dive deeper into each main characters history and motives.
i am a big fan of the art of the series as it is not outstanding but just so fitting with its watercolor-esque hues to its downright meme able facial expressions and animation.
please give the entire series a chance it is worth t…

After more than a decade, most of us had abandoned any hope of ever getting more Kimi ni Todoke. So when news broke that we’d get another season, fans were naturally ecstatic. But as we all know, getting a new season of a show you grew up watching many years later can be a mixed trick bag often resulting in more misses than hits. Fortunately I can say Production IG understood the assignment here. Not only is Kimi ni Todoke season 3 just as magical as we remember the series, it’s honestly better. While not a full adaptation of the manga, it feels like the perfect stopping point for the anime and is a must watch for any shoujo fan old or new.
Unlike seasons 1 and 2, season 3 being a Netflix production dropped all at once with 5 1 hour long episodes which although I was initially critical of…
