If you're looking for a fast anime to watch then this is for you. The episodes are very short but I grew easily attached to the characters. You can easily relate to the situations in each episode, especially if you are in a relationship. It covers cute and sad events when it comes to love. After watching this anime, I really wanted to get my drawing pad. The artwork is simple yet beautiful. I personally like the style but to others it may be too simple. This is the kind of anime I would rewatch if I'm ever bored or want a sprinkle of romance.

This anime is a bunch of illustrated skits of couples that is really short and would basically waste your time, if you aren't interested in couples and their daily lives. These animated flicks are a real box filled with kittens sent right in front of your doorstep without any note, and unless you don't like surprises or you don't like responsibility over those new tiny liter of kittens, then you won't enjoy this anime.

There is nothing special about this anime, no plot, no character, the art is fine, no fanservice and basically no bullshit, it literally is just some animated flicks of couples goofing around ...

Simply put, this show is short but sweet. There's not much story as it's just short clips from different couples lives.

They can be cute, sweet, sad or touching with a different feel to each one. Although they're less than 2mins, it'll probably manage to leave you feeling something. What I love is the characters feel very realistic to real people, rather than your typical anime character. The situations are something's that can happen in real life and I felt like I was watching behind the scenes of real life Japanese relationships at some of the best of moments. This makes it relatable for some.. or ...

Stuff like these gives you anxiety attack, makes you uneasy , makes you question your entire existence. Why was I born? Why am I lonely? Will I ever find love? Is there any meaning in this bitter life?
But stay positive folks. One day we shall have a girlfriend.
About the anime, it's not a connected linear story but episodic stories of couples in their twenties doing couple like things, it's adapted from a picture book not a manga so that was expected. Overall it's wholesome and sweet you will like it if you enjoy short anime but proceed with jurisdiction, you might get PTSD ...

The score "10/10" always had a simple meaning for me. It was a number strictly relating to the highest calibre of content in every possible aspect one can base it on. I'd find myself not giving X a 10/10 simply because it lacked "idea", lacked production, or was just too normal.

And here I am giving Honobono Log that exact score.

I won't say Honobono Log is now suddenly bad. It isn't. Over the course of the past years, I have actually already switched up my rating ability differently as well. But this anime reminds me, that gems in themselves are their own masterpiece.

Honobono Log doesn't have ...

Nobody recommended this anime to me. I just saw this uploaded on some anime tracker site and just downloaded it on a whim. "10 episodes, 2 min per episode, nothing could go wrong watching this." I was mistaken.

Story 8/10.
I rated the story by episode since this anime doesn't have a consistent plot. 1 point per episode in a total of 10 episodes. For those who care, the episodes that got points were Episodes 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Episodes 2 and 4 didn't get a point because I thought it lacked oomf. But still great nonetheless. Depends entirely on preference.

Art 9/10.
Clean. ...

This anime is not for everyone.

I was shocked... 2 minutes, 10 episode anime. What?

If you're having a bad day and you just want to smile, click this short anime and be prepared to have your heart melt in your hands.

This anime is interesting. I have yet to come across an anime that is so addicting and annoying all at the same time. It captivates you and the moment you fall in love, the episode is over.

So it's short, like really damn short which is a major bummer and why it got a lower rating than it should. The art is alright, pretty simple ...

It's my first time watching an "anime series(?)" with episodes this short, but it's really nice.

Alongside couples in relationships, it also has a few episodes about married couples/how they interact with their kid. No matter whether you are currently in a relationship, have someone you like, got heartbroken, or even married and have kids, there will be an episode where you will feel like you are being personally attacked.

If this was aired on my TV (assuming that it did with the NHK logo in the top right), I'd be instantly feeling much better after watching it since whenever I do watch TV, it's when I ...

First things first. My "reviews" system is explained on a blog entry. Which can be found through my profile.

✦Story
Nothing much to say. Extremely sweet short episodes that mostly about couples. Really loved this Anime, very sweet, cute and put smile on my face.

✦Art & Sound
Both were pretty sweet and fitting enough. Simple and conveys emotions just fine.

It's a lighthearted animated skits taken straight from couples lives, so if you are expecting a story with a plot, please steer clear. Each episode do not connect with one and another, and they last about 2-3 minutes each. Think of this as watching a Youtube video rather than a full length anime, and you will enjoy it a lot more.

This is one of those pieces that makes you warm and happy on a rainy day, full of feels. Throughout the anime, very minimal sound effects are used to aid the story as the voice actors are the ones that carry the movement instead. The ...

Anime which took a little over 15 minutes to complete(all 10 eps), puts a huge smile on your face while watching each ep and each pairing. The stories are set in a slice of life situation.
The dialogues used don't feel like your typical anime setting, it feels more like listening to two people just conversing in Japanese language which feels so nice to hear.
No drama or complicated topics, no drama. Just sweet moments shared between people in their ordinary lives.
The animation has a certain charm to it. It feels like watching an Animatic in Youtube. Love it!
I wish there were more eps and more ...

Some of the most tender and romantic moments in life can be super simple and straightforward. No need for grand narratives or spectacular environments, Honobono log is a celebration of these little nuggets of happiness that you or I may stumble across in our lives.

But before going any further I have to ask if you have seen this anime yet. This is not because there are any spoilers or anything like that in my post, but because you most likely could have finished an entire feels-good episode by the time you read through this review. You see, as something that was originally designed to fill ...

If you have a special someone, you'll find some of the episodes relatable.
If you don't have one... don't worry, you'll feel like you do <( ̄︶ ̄)↗[GO!]

The entire anime is 20 mins, 10 episodes (2min/ep), each showing a clip of little moments into a different couple's life. This is almost therapeutic, just like looking at cute animal pictures ( ̄ω ̄o) The creator must be a considerate and thoughtful person

The theme song sums up everything perfectly
飾らない毎日の中で
いろんなことを共にしてきた
となりで過ごす君のことをふと見て僕は
幸せだと思う

I just found it on 50 best Slice of life anime and i think that how can be this slice of life genre is short! After i watched it and i feel like it is such a cute little animation and can feel the love through in 10 minutes. This is the cutest anime i have ever watched. one episodes is just around 2 minutes but each episode grab all my heart. I love the way they end up each episodes with Short Word. The one thing that attracted me is the OST song. I believe everyone will like who watched the Honobono Log. ...

I personally really liked this series although it was very very short. Each episode is only about 2 minutes long which is literally like a mini promo video/ trailer.

Each story was very cute and endearing in its own way - showed me the multiple facets of different kind of relationships. Episode 7 was by far my fav but the other episodes were also very calming and easy to watch.

If you expect some impressive storylines/ drama/ animation, then this anime is not for you. However, if you are looking for something light (and I mean extremely light) with a touch of romance, then you ...

It's sooooo cute. The opening is pretty and the episodes are at max 2 minutes in length. The opening was one of the best parts of the episodes and it's very smooth in sound. I usually like the shorter duration per ep so the 2 minutes max wasn't a problem and it actually gave the show a little bit of it's own charm. It's quick and right to the point with the episode's message. I liked the inclusion of the different couples and that it isn't the same couple every episode. I personally like the style's character differentiation and the colors are pastel, it's not ...

Every single one of the short episodes made me smile and think: 'ah, that's so nice~' and 'everyone should be able to experience such care and love!' Especially episode 9, oh gosh how adorable!

The art is kind of simplistic, but therefor not distracting from the dialogue and the setting. To me, this enhances the everyday feel that it gives, making it easy to connect and sympathize with the characters.

The characters have realistic appearances and personalities. We see good and bad sides of people, and how couples react to them. It made the 10 episodes diverse to see.
The episodes went by so fast, before I knew ...

Honobono Log is a beautiful, fleeting little tale, featuring a collection of brief snapshots into the everyday lives of people and the ones they love. It is a quiet, unique contemplation on that emotion, which expresses itself well in the OP song, "Every time I look over at you, I realize that I'm happy." As such, the story is the strongest part of this anime, as despite being nothing more than a pile of vignettes, it manages to be beautiful and impactful all the same, capturing so many emotions in the silent moments between words and the small things that people do for each other. ...

I just watched this anime out of whim because I am bored and I needed something cute, something fluffy, that will cure my bored heart because 2020 sucks. Only a few seconds of the first episode, and I am already sold because of the art, music, and how adorable the couples are; it made me want to cry and chase butterflies outside even if it's raining as I write this non-coherent review. There's no actual plot here, just the daily lives of couples and their interactions, and I have no complaints about that; I live for moments like this. The entire time I was watching ...
