ACTUALLY IT IS VERY GOOD THAT THE SHOW IS BAD AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T REALIZE WHY THAT'S GOOD IS AN IDIOT. JUST ENJOY THE BAD SHOW INSTEAD OF THINKING.
I strongly appreciated the Haruna disappearance jokes reaching its natural conclusion in which she disappears as Otoo is actively looking at her.

Lots of good jokes and gags, and overall, pretty decent finale.

Whenever Otoo spoke, I kept thinking of Nyanta from Log Horizon and expected a "nyaa" at the end of his sentences.

Takanashi's mom was over-the-top creepy and weird though. I found her rather disturbing on multiple levels. You can see why the whole family is screwed up (except for the youngest who probably had the least exposure to her own mother). Plus, the mother is a Japanese politician. I wonder if there's a commentary on Japanese politicians in there somewhere? Or, am I just reading too much into the story?

Loved the use of the word canoodle.

A good ending! Agreed that there should have been a kiss at the end, but it was a cute finale.

Now if only they animated another season of Servant x Service with the Working cameos...

I can't wait to see Inami and Takanashi go to the office to get a marriage license.

The above might not be true. Or is it?

She was, as always, the best part of the show. Very sad that it's over.

Although I do agree that it simply seemed like two episodes back to back. Usually these longer events have like, new locations or events or characters or better animation but outside of that one 10 second moment when Inami and Kozue were grappling nothing really jumped out as being above and beyond the usual quality of the show. Which was, naturally, pretty drat high.

I wonder if it was just a case of the studio realizing they couldn't wrap it up with the number of episodes/airing slots available and thus improvised.

Anyway, that was great/heartwarming like the rest of the season! It was kind of nice that Inami got to kind of take over main character duties for some of these final few episodes. She wound up being a pretty memorable character by the end when she was arguably one of the weaker parts of the first season.

Fantastic, loved it. I alllllmost feared that Takanashi would take Inami's hand for a second, say "Okay, handholding completed! See ya tomorrow at work!" and wander off whistling. Luckily he's not that weird.

Also Nazuna's reasoning behind being the only sister willing to seriously fight Inami was great characterization and made perfect sense, reluctant though she was.

I've heard lots of people say that but I thought Inami was pretty great the whole way through. It might have helped that I first saw seasons 1 and 2 about a week before the first episode of season 3, but I never considered her a weak link in the cast.

I preferred Inami's reasoning for Nazuna being the only sister she even considered throwing a serious punch at. Because sure Kozue is a martial arts pro who makes a living teaching how to beat people up but Nazuna's a super elementary school student, she can do basically anything. And from what the series has shown I'd imagine that's probably actually the case.

That was a really good finale to a really good series.

I'm really not fond of the Takanashi mother though. She's creepy, off-putting, hypocritical, and downright abusive.

I mean, I know it's a comedy series and all but she's the sole character I actively dislike.

Used to be Kozue, but then after seeing the mom it made total sense and now I just wish Kozue the best.

I don't deny the dude's creepy but I'd still say that what Takanashi's mom did to her children is worse than anything Minegishi ever did within the story.

Fuckin' loved how Kazue pretty much lost all will to fight when Inami congratulated her on her marriage.

So many good scenes and jokes and the ending really made me reflect on everything that's happened throughout the series.

Now I want to marathon the whole thing.

Inami punching Daisy in S2 was probably one of my favorite scenes.

So what you're saying is that everyone who does voice work for Working gets married. Truly, the most powerful romcom.
