Rikei ga Koi ni Ochita no de Shoumei shitemita.

It is widely believed that science can provide rational explanations for the countless phenomena of our universe. However, there are many aspects of our existence that science has not yet found a solution to and cannot decipher with numbers. The most notorious of these is the concept of love. While it may seem impossible to apply scientific theory to such an intricate and complex emotion, a daring pair of quick-witted Saitama University scientists aim to take on the challenge.

One day the bold and beautiful Ayame Himuro outwardly declares that she is in love with Shinya Yukimura, her fellow logical and level-headed scientist. Acknowledging his own lack of experience with romance, Yukimura questions what factors constitute love in the first place and whether he is in love with Himuro or not. Both clueless in the dealings of love, the pair begin to conduct detailed experiments on one another to test the human characteristics that indicate love and discern whether they demonstrate these traits toward each other.

As Himuro and Yukimura begin their intimate analysis, can the two scientists successfully apply scientific theory, with the help of their friends, to quantify the feelings they express for one another?

"Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It" indeed offers a unique and refreshing take on the romance genre by infusing it with scientific inquiry. The story's premise is relatively unique, as it follows two adult scientists applying scientific methodologies to decipher the complexities of love. While the overarching narrative might adhere to some romantic comedy tropes, the approach of dissecting love scientifically provides a fresh angle that appeals to fans of the genre. The predictability might not detract from the enjoyment, as the execution and the analytical perspective keep it engaging.

The art style complements the story well. It's bright, colorful, and character ... designs are expressive, adding to the overall comedic and lighthearted tone of the series. The blend of scientific imagery and romantic themes is well-illustrated, enhancing the narrative's presentation.

The characters in the series are well-rounded, each possessing their own strengths and flaws. Their backgrounds in science and their dedication to dissecting love through statistics and psychology make for a fascinating dynamic. Their personalities, while sometimes exaggerated for comedic effect, also make them relatable and endearing.

The characters' reactions to situations often align with their analytical personalities, but the series cleverly showcases how these logical individuals navigate the often irrational and unpredictable nature of romantic feelings. Their responses are a blend of rational thinking and emotional exploration, adding depth and authenticity to their portrayals.

The series caters to a specific audience who enjoy the combination of romance, comedy, and an analytical approach. Fans of romance might appreciate the unique angle, while those who prefer more traditional romantic narratives might find the scientific dissection a bit too detached from the typical emotional aspects of love stories. Additionally, individuals with an interest in science or those looking for a more intellectually stimulating romantic series might find this show particularly appealing. However, those seeking a strictly conventional, emotion-driven romance might not resonate with this approach.

Overall, "Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It" offers a blend of humor, romance, and intellect, making it a distinctive and enjoyable series for those looking for a fresh take on the genre.

Mixed Feelings

This show Is more of a comedy than a romance Though it is okay Show consists of the main characters trying to see if they’re in love with each other when obviously they are them they are oblivious and want to see science can prove it hence the title The cast and the characters are okay, but that’s as far as it goes just okay

Do you recommend if you watch this to It’s probably better as a background show whilst you’re doing other stuff that being said it can be enjoyed if you are into the sciences Understand the science work, but if you’re ... looking for your generic romcom, this probably won’t be the one for you but then again it could

Conclusion, 6 out of 10 It was fine

I am going to review both series in this review, because I can't really separate them. There are no spoilers, but... well, you'll see.

This anime follows two university students who are "science-types". If I had to describe this anime in one sentence, it would be (and I said this out loud at least once while watching): "Man, for two people who are so smart, they're idiots!" Very first episode, the woman confesses to the man. Instead of taking her at face value and, well, sampling the fruits of her love, they instead embark on a two season cringe-fest where they ... try to determine scientifically whether they're in love or not, creating and testing hypotheses, and all the things you'd expect "science-types" to do. In the process, we, the viewer, are taught things about science and the scientific method, so I guess that's great.

Art was good, voice acting was good, it was funny in places, had no real emotional depth, but given this was about two "science types", I guess that was to be expected.

And, honestly, it would have been fine if it weren't for the last episode of the second series.

I'm not going to tell you what it was about, that would be a spoiler. So let's just say that it completed an absolutely unnecessary arc, which featured an ancilliary character, and the tone shift was such a whiplash that I almost didn't even watch it. I did, and I so regretted it it immediately dropped my score for series two by two points. It was that bad. I can't even begin to describe how bad it was, and even if I wanted to give spoilers, I still probably couldn't find the necessary words.

I'm going to mark this "not recommended" because I honestly can't recommend watching through this whole thing just to have *that* done to you in the end, but if you want to watch the whole thing and just ignore the last episode, well, you'll frankly lose nothing at all, and maybe even enjoy it.

Funny, I rated it highly and "not recommended", but I think my reasons for both are good.
