Iketeru Futari

One of those cases when the viewer only gets to experience the small fraction of an otherwise great story because the rest wasn't adapted and most likely never will.

There is never a dull moment with Iketeru Futari - characters (especially the female lead) are great, comedy is gold, fan-service is tasty and the romantic dynamics are unfathomably wholesome and cute. What's even better, with its short episode length, even those who suffer from attention span issues can enjoy it to the fullest. Aside from not being completed, the only other downside this anime has is the animation quality, however, it's not really an issue ... and won't hinder the delight one is provided with while watching this rare gem.

This anime, held up to modern shows in the same gerne is now kind of generic. It is very effective in showing a lot of fan service but ultimately has a undeveloped plot. The plot has the potential to be ahead of it's time and very intriguing but it fails on most fronts to be compelling. It feals like there was something holding it back from being an above average anime. The animation is very dynamic and almost lively. It has a lot of energy but over all looks dated and poorly aged. Comparing to shows that came out around that time it looks slightly ... above average. It a good watch it because your bored show not a watch it because it's good. It's might be worth a watch to experience some older ecchi anime.


A remake of this anime would be very interesting in a modern anime world that is more open to certaint content. If it was redone now it could explore some of the subtext of the shows charter relations more in depth.

My time could definitely have been better spent elsewhere.

If you're like me, you were looking for a cute, sweet romance between a lovable golden retriever ML (Male Love Interest) and a slightly tsundere FL (Female Love Interest). If this is indeed the case... Turn back now.

Let's start with the ML. I thought I had seen the peak of perversion with other anime characters; evidently I was wrong. From the very first episode all the way to the last, we have to suffer his insufferable lecherous antics, all while he gets beat up each time. There is no entertainment value to be found in this, ... it just distracts you from the few good points the show has. To make matters worse he's utterly foolish in a way that is not at all endearing.

The FL is almost worse though. I've seen some irritating Tsunderes however, this is the first time in quite a while I've seen one this annoying. Is it that hard to admit your feelings? Really? It's so obvious she likes him, even the room temperature IQ ML can see it; she's not fooling anyone!

Also, why does she get angry with him so often? I know illogical rage fits is par for course when dealing with a tsundere template even so, she should already be aware by now that her love interest is a complete fool that probably can't change. It's the quality that caused her to fall for him to begin with. The constant back and forth between those two doesn't help their relationship nor the animes watchability.

The other characters might as well be card board cut outs. There wasn't anything in particular that was interesting about them and there presence only served to decrease the miniscule amount of romance further.

Art style isn't the best however it's no deal breaker. With better plot it wouldn't be an issue as it stands though, it's just the last penny on the trash pile.

In conclusion / TLDR; This is meant to be a romance comedy however, the romance is mediocre and the comedy is even worse. The only thing that redeems this show is the exceptionally rare good moments the main couple have and, the Animes short run time. Otherwise nevermind being worth watching, I would have dropped it immediately without hesitation.
