* MoodWhiplash: The Happy Elements episode really shows you the difference in perception between ''Ensemble Girls!'' and its brother game ''VideoGame/EnsembleStars''. The ''Girls!'' segment is rather short, being a cutesey slice of life in high school and very little plot going on. ''Stars!'', however, follows right afterwards and is a full blown {{Melodrama}}.

''Last Period'' (full Japanese title: ''Last Period: Owarinaki Rasen no Monogatari'') is an anime based on a mobile gacha game produced by the company Happy Elements. The anime aired in Spring 2018.

Set in a fantasy world which incorporates elements of mobile gacha games, the story follows the Arc End 8th Squad, a group of "Periods" -- heros who fights monsters called Spirals. The group finds their existence perilized when their treasury is stolen; and to make matters worse, their attempts to find paying jobs are continually foiled by a rival group called Wiseman.

The series is available subtitled on Crunchyroll.

!! ''Last Period'' contains examples of:

* AFoolAndHisNewMoneyAreSoonParted: Episode 4 has the broke heroes win a massive fortune from the lottery. Due to their profligate spending, they manage to end up back in bankruptcy by the end of the episode.
* ArtifactOfDoom: Luluna's pendant turns out to be one, crystallized from the despair and resentment of all humanity. It messes up the probability of gacha rolls, causing her to always call five-star summons while others can only get one-stars, and also has the potential to super-charge Spirals.
* BackForTheFinale: All of the five-stars summoned by Wiseman and all of the one-stars summoned by Haru return to help the heroes in the final battle.
* BeachEpisode: Episode 8 has the heroes go to the beach. This time, instead of being on a quest to fight Spirals, they're working ordinary part-time jobs like lifeguard or food vendor.
* BreastExpansion: In episode 9, Android Sonya's breasts increase in size over the course of the episode. When she is defeated at the end, they explode, a reference to the the Samsung Galaxy phone's problem with exploding batteries.
* CuteGhostGirl: Episode 3 has Liza encounter a ghost girl in a haunted mansion. While she's spent the episode scared of ghost stories and the fake ghosts she's encountered, the only actual ghost is a cute girl that doesn't scare her at all.
* {{Determinator}}: According to the series's synopsis, Haru apparently failed the Period admittance test 38 times before finally succeeding on his 39th try. Wiseman later identifies his greatest virtue as the fact that no matter how much the odds are stacked against him, no matter how impossible things seem, he just will not quit. Ever.
* EatTheDog: Choco regards Miu, the team pet, to be "emergency rations". Erika officially approves of classifying Miu this way, in order to get around the "no pets" policy of the building they're renting.
* {{Homage}}:
** Episode 3 features one to ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'', with the ''Higurashi'' cast appearing as collaboration event characters.
** Episode 7 features one to ''Anime/KemonoFriends'', with the conflict being a reference to Tatsuki being fired.
* HotSpringsEpisode: Episode 2 has the heroes take a quest at a hot spring, which has been losing business due to a Spiral blocking the water.
* InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: All of the town mayors who give the Periods their quests look identical.
* LittleBitBeastly: The Animal Realm, one of the setting's six realms, is inhabited by humanoids with minor animal traits.
* {{Microtransactions}}: An in-universe example, as ''Last Period'''s setting is based on a gacha game. The Luna Stones used for summoning can't be purchased with the standard currency, Zel, but require a rare and mysterious type of money called "Yen".
* MonkeyMoralityPose: This is the basis of Wiseman's theme. Their names are based on the Japanese translation of the phrases, and each has an appropriate fashion accessory: Mizaru's hat covers her eyes, Kikazaru's headphones cover her ears, and Iwazaru's bandanna covers her mouth.
* PaperThinDisguise: Campanella's "diguise" as Blackpanella consists of nothing more than a domino mask, which completely fails to conceal any of her distinguishing features. Despite this, Erika and Choco are the only ones able to see through it; everyone else is completely fooled.
* {{Sarashi}}: In episode 11, the army of Android Sonyas claim that they've been patched to solve their breasts inflating and eventually exploding. This is represented as them binding their chests with sarashi.
* TeamPet: The 8th Squad's team pet is a small fuzzy creature called Miu. He is apparently an Art, a type of loot that is sometimes dropped by Spirals when they are defeated. While the team accumulates many additional Arts over the course of their quests, Miu is the only one who normally accompanies them.
* TranslationYes: Iwazaru speaks only in muffled exclamations, which Kikazaru translates -- sometimes into phrases which are far longer than what Iwazaru said.
-->'''Iwazaru''': Uhh, uhh, uhh!
-->'''Kikazaru''': "You used to see stories about androids taking over all the time in old sci-fi, but I never thought it would happen to us," she says.
-->'''Guru''': No, that was way longer than what she said, guru.
* TranslatorBuddy: Kikazaru acts as one for Iwazaru, translated her unintelligibly muffled speech.
* TrapDoor: The haunted mansion in episode 3 features one, which takes out all the heroes except Liza.
* TheUnintelligible: Iwazaru. In keeping with her "speak no evil" theme, everything she says comes out as an unintelligible mumble. Kikazaru translates for her.
* WhipItGood: The hero Erika and the villain Sonya both wield whips as their weapons of choice, a fact Erika comments on when they fight one another.
* WingedHumanoid: The race inhabiting the Sky Realm is the Angels, who are humanoids with wings.
