And given this, the odds of a legal stream just plummeted.

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu: Finale, which will cover the story leading to the novels' final arc


When I first read this I was happy to see another series I've enjoyed get a proper ending, but I hope that it won't just be leading and will actually be finished in the OVAs. Guess it depends on how far out the 15th (and supposedly final) volume is.

Oh thank goodness. I can fully avoid this now. After the trash that Purezza turned out to be, this isn't all that surprising.

Yay, can't wait for this! This is one of my favorites, but I hope they give it a proper ending.

Off topic, but what's with the "Final" craze of late? Shana, ZnT, now this. Seems like they just like to shatter the hopes of fans that they there will be more.

hmm it wasn't all that bad the mc just got rooter blocked more than usual...wait oh a minute well lawl.

I will see it out i liked the characters enough to warrant or see them getting a decent ending. I don't know of any one that is translating the light novels or I would read those instead.

I for one can't wait for more obvious innuendo, moemoe situations, semi-shameless fanservice, interrupted kisses, and a total absence of any plot progression, character development, or resolution.

i don't know, i think there is a chance of CR streaming it, but it will probably be late stream like few months. CR does stream ova and movies, but they normally take them off fast.

It's just the way it's phrased in the news story. The 15th and concluding volume is already released now, and the OVA series will follow the novels to the same conclusion (though they won't have much time to do it with only 4 OVAs).

I love this series, and I'm glad it's getting a conclusion. Now, if only a North American distributor will pick-up the license for home video....

For me it was the interrupted kisses that kept grating my nerves. And I'm sorry, the kiss on the cheek does not count as a kiss. The second season was a joke (and I never read the manga but I read enough complaints about it). In some ways I just want a conclusion. Period!!

Because lots of those series light novels are finishing, so rather than drag things out with filler and what not, they can create a 'FINAL' season/OVA that covers the...wait for it *drum roll*...final arc of the series! lol
In all seriousness though, while it's sad to see a show finish, it's also reassuring that are getting a proper adaption to conclude these series.

This is great news, I love this franchise and I love it when things get concluded. I am also really hoping they will actually animate the conclusion rather than just "lead up" to it.

I found this franchise kinda cute, although I enjoyed S1 more than S2. I'll definitely check out the finale.
