by The daily routine continues even in the final episode.
While the fall 2024 anime season is about to begin, most summer anime seasons have reached their final episodes. Some of them have such a fantastic final episode that viewers feel lost.
This article contains information about the final episodes of “Ramen Akaneko,” ” Once Upon a Time, Magical Girls and Evil Were Enemies,” and “There Are Too Many Losing Heroines!” First, “There Are Too Many Losing Heroines!” attracted a lot of attention when it started airing and has been named a candidate for this season’s hegemony.
This work reached its final episode on September 28. It is a youth romantic comedy that focuses on the “losing heroine” who was rejected in love and depicts her daily life as she overcomes her broken heart and moves forward. To enhance the details of the work, the work’s thorough attention to detail, which is not seen anywhere else, became a hot topic. For example, to highlight the charm of the “winning heroine,” a rare “bust coordinator” position is appointed to pursue natural breast movement.
The final episode featured an original story written by the original author, Takibi Amemori, specifically for the anime. The main character, Kazuhiko Nukumizu (CV: Shuichiro Umeda ), goes on a fake date with his fellow literary club members to fabricate the setting that one of the heroines, Anna Yanami (CV: Hikaru Tono ), has an imaginary boyfriend. The final episode ended without any announcement of a sequel, and viewers expressed their regret over the end, saying, “I don’t usually watch school romantic comedies, but this one was interesting, so I think I’ll continue to miss it,” and “I wanted to see more of their daily lives.”
“Ramen Akaneko” Next, “Ramen Akaneko,” which ended its run on September 19, 2024, is a work that soothes viewers with the cute cats that work at a ramen shop. Set in a ramen shop run by cats, “Ramen Akaneko,” the story depicts the warm interactions between the human part-time employee “Yasushi Tamako (CV: Orihara Kurumi)” and the cat staff, including the manager “Bunzo (CV: Tsuda Kenjiro).” In the final episode, a man, once Tamako’s boss, comes to Akaneko and speaks cruelly to her, but the staff (cats) chase him away as a malicious customer.
After that, Tamako is promoted from part-time to full-time employee at Akaneko, and the story ends with a new beginning rather than an end. Viewers are captivated by the kind-hearted world, with comments such as “This is the biggest loss in this season’s anime,” “I’m sad that it’s ending,” and “I can’t help but want more!” Although no sequel is announced in the final episode, an event is planned for the “Shonen Jump + 10th Anniversary Stage” at “Jump Festa 2025,” scheduled for December 21st and 22nd. Will there be an announcement of a sequel?
“Once upon a time, magical girls and evil were enemies. Besides that, the stylish production of “Magical Girls and Evil Were Enemies Once Upon a Time,” which aired its final episode on September 24, also became a hot topic. Mira (voiced by Yuki Ono), a staff officer of an evil organization, falls in love at first sight with Mimori Byakuya (voiced by Mai Nakahara), a seemingly unlucky magical girl who is the enemy of the organization. While he struggles between his position as a member of the organization and his feelings for her, they deepen their friendship.
In the final episode, Mira and Byakuya meet in the park as usual, and while they have a bittersweet exchange, the story continues as usual. It is concluded with “ENDLESS” rather than an end, and the production suggests that the characters’ daily lives will not end even after the broadcast has ended. However, it feels like a partial episode.
The original manga is still incomplete, with the author, Cocoa Fujiwara, passing away in 2015 while it was still being serialized. Given this background, there were many positive comments, such as, “It was a great final episode that shows the relationship between the two characters will continue in the future,” and “This might be the best way to end it.”
