This concludes the Working!! series and I've gotta say, this episode ended the whole series so well and was able to leave everything on a surprisingly good note. As soon as you finish this episode, I can guarantee that you will be very reminiscent of all 3 seasons of Working!! and be glad you watched it.
Throughout this one episode, it helps reflect and showcase what the Working!! cast has accomplished in season 3 such as: (SPOILER)
- Aoi Yamada reconciling with her mother and brother, thus being together with her real family
- Yachiyo and Sato having to be able to start an official relationship
- Inami losing her fear of men and prevents herself from punching them.
- Popura gaining new responsibilities by being promoted to Chief of the Wagnaria! restaurant.
Not only does this 49 min episode/special resolve Takanshi's problem with his mother which occurred in the previous season, but it also manages to have Takanashi and Inami's relationship grow as well. By the end, their odd friendship resulted into them loving each other and they become a couple.
What makes this episode so great in my opinion is that it shows again what the Working!! cast have been through and how they're able to officially resolve problems that affected them in the past. Though the problematic situations they faced are unrealistic to a certain extent, how they all are able to overcome these challenges is what made me like it so much. It felt engaging and made you care more about the characters (even if you haven't before).
The best thing about Working!! is that you begin to care more about the characters and love each quirk they have. They feel almost like family; and when they move on in life (like Yachiyo for example) you can't help but hope for the best for them despite them not being real people.
I would have to say the only downside to this episode is how it had to be separate from the 3rd season. Because in actuality, this is supposed to be the last episode of that season. So if you decided to treat this as it's own individual episode (like an OVA) it wouldn't be right since this is continuing off right where season 3 ended.
But overall, I would have to say this one of the best ways to end Working!! as a whole. I can't think of a better way to end the whole franchise. When I finished this episode, I couldn't help but feel this empty place in my heart to be honest. Sure I sound really sappy, but it makes the viewer remember what Working!! has done and completes the journey you've watched. And this episode does such a splendid job on ending the journey.
(Thanks for reading my review! I know it may not seem that good. But I don't write reviews often so that's why it doesn't seem as professional compared to others. Those who read my review, I hoped you at least enjoyed it!)
