| Bloody hell, for a sec I thought that I'm on twitter, so many salty snowflake comments here over comedy with exaggerated character traits in it. |
| interesting premise, hope ichika is at least 18. won't be expecting much from this but i think it'll be fun to watch |
 |
| Mildly cute, though I can't help but think the premise probably wouldn't fly if this were tried in the West in 2021, but maybe I'm wrong. Mostly I found it amusing that two anime I've watched now within the last week have used The Simpsons D'oh! EDIT: Holy hell, 91 1/5 votes and counting? Guess I was underselling the controversial premise. XD |

| it was an entertaining first episode! the op and ed were also quite catchy. although it doesn't look like a high production anime, i still think it might be a good show |
 |
| I think the general consensus is apart from the creepiness, the series is quite funny and I couldn't agree more! |

| Given the opening scene with the dude, at first I was like yeah that's super creepy, but I thought the dude was actually the dad of the high schooler so moments later when I found out it was her older brother was a bit of relief. Pretty funny so far, looking forward to more. |

| Looking past the morally questionable nature of the anime, the production values are really poor. The color palet is boring as fuck. The animation sometimes have some neat character animation but most of the time it looks unappealing. Where did these voice actors record their lines? They sound like they recorded inside a glass jar. Definitely a big fuck up if you are going to fuck up such a basic thing. As for the rest of the anime, it is pretty mediocre. Comedy ranges from kinda funny to precictable. Characters are mostly uninteresting, with the most interesting sadly being the creepy 27 year old. Yeah not a very good anime. Probably gonna drop it soon |
| I just watched this on Crunchyroll (not Amazon). I was really wondering how they would make a romance out of a high school girl and an office worker. Well done. Cute. Loved the banter. Spring is off to a good start Hahahaha. I didn’t realize this was ACTUALLY controversial. I know some 27 year old who are children and some 17 year old who are well beyond their years. That said, until a few decades ago, most places in the world had legal marriage around 16 with parental consent. I get in this day and age the need for a legal age but seriously she is obviously not 12 but within a few months of 18, legal age in most countries as being considered an adult. Anyway, I liked the anime episode I watch. It was hilarious and light hearted. RomCom for sure. |

| Oh god, this was so funny. It is great. Both OP and ED are great. Fuck the age difference, they're a good couple. Every character is so interesting. |
 |
| This is looking like a drop. The main relationship is pretty standard with a perfect guy falling madly in love with an average manga and anime enjoying high school girl. Yeah, I know he isn’t “perfect” because he does some creepy things, but it is explained away as how passionate he is. The art and animation are mediocre at best. It feels extremely empty too. Whether that has to do with the voice acting performances, sound mixing, or lack of a soundtrack. |
| A nice first episode. It was pretty funny, to be honest. |
 |
| Usually they save the pedo scumbag hitting on high schoolers for the yaoi garbage so I don't see it. Also assaults a woman. May have already found the worst anime of the season. |
| So I think under other circumstances I would have found Ryou to be a weird, little bit creepy, but really endearing guy. I mean the guy is really cool and most of their interactions are cute but he is a little too forward and creepy at times (especially when she blatantly tells him to stop) but for the sake of dumb romantic comedy I would've accepted it, its a anime after all. However, that fucker is a 27 year old man hitting on a 17 year old girl. Maybe if the guy was younger I would've found it genuinely cute and endearing but 27 to 17 seems creepy and disgusting to me. Besides that it seems pretty nice (nothing stellar of course), I like the art style, the jokes and interactions are pretty nice, and the intro is actually pretty good. The sound is a bit weird (Ryou sounds like he is being muffled by a kidnapper or something) but whatever, it doesn't compare to that egregious age gap. Maybe if at the end of the series she tells him to fuck off and kicks him in the nuts or something this series can actually be enjoyable. |

| I like the art style but i can't say I'm too pleased about an adult literally stalking a high-schooler, its less about the age difference and more about the stalker tendencies but the age different emphasizes it.. ALSO THE OP IS A BANGER |
| clannad is the greatest piece of fiction to ever exist. |
| Pretty hard to watch after the first few minutes lol. Also, that voice acting was poor... |
| I couldn't get through the whole episode. Not due to the controversial premise, but due to the garbage voice-recording quality. Are you guys hard of hearing? Or play the audio through cheapo speakers or headphones (dare I guess, phone speakers?)? Even if I expected complaints about the premise to overshadow complaints about audio quality, I expected more than just a couple of complaints. |
| really nice opening |
| Okay that actually sounds like a japanese person speaking in English, still with the accent and quirks a japanese person would have. Not like the usual Engrish. Sokah said: pedo scumbag hitting on high schoolers Wait. What the hell are you talking about? Pedophilia is when an "adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children". This anime doesn't have anything to do with sexual attraction and Ichika IS NOT a prepubescent child. He's a scumbag, still. |
| Why the fuck would I wanna see grooming/pedophilia in an anime? fuck you and your beautiful OP! |
 |
| Should've known this is a josei written by a wman, DROPPED. The voices are muffled too and is especially bad in Ryou's case. Art was meh. |

lov3lymj said: I gotta agree with this even tho i criticised it earlier we are past the point of bringing morals into anime the comedy is where it fell off for me i felt the scene where she called him creepy and he got starry eyed was a super played out trope and as someone mentioned above the color scheme Another_ZHODY said: Why the fuck would I wanna see grooming/pedophilia in an anime? fuck you and your beautiful OP! I mean ppl watched a stepbro f his teacher and stepsis. Compared to that it's tame, they barley hold hands. + anime is extremely meh |
| Leave it to trash jousei to make a male lead that is a scumbag manwhore that sexually harasses the girl until she eventually gives in. Also, what a shitty friend and mother. And of course she defends him in the end. This is absolutely disgusting. |

| I thought this was going to be really creepy but it was actually really funny! Also Rio is a strong candidate for best Imouto this season! She's already one hell of a Wing Woman! I am super excited to see the development between these two! Edit: For the people who have an issue with the age they better have an issue with Blend S as well. Dino and Maika were a Ten year difference as well. 26 and 16 |

| Surprisingly cute and fun. I liked it quite a bit. Ryo comes off as a little pushy and a little too nosy but at least it's handled in a more comedic tone and Ichika doesn't seem to mind it as much with how she retorts, so it comes off as fun and amusing. I guess my stance to the show is basically what Ryo's sister said, it could be amusing so I'll stick around. What is the age difference here? I see a lot of people mentioning it but if Ryo's sister is Ichika's classmate, the difference is probably in the order of 5-7 years, maybe less? I don't mind the age difference but it's pretty common in traditional Asian/South East Asian culture that there is supposed to be an age gap of at least 3-4 years between a married couple. |
 |
| I actually found this episode very entertaining, maybe its because I read the first two chapters. Loved that Tuxedo Mask reference by the way. Ryou may be creepy at first, but he is really over the top with his feelings for Ichika especially since she saved his life. I also think that Ryou likes being scolded by women because the more she insults him the more he tries to pursue her. I see a lot of people seem to be blowing the age gap between them. I seen women dating men that are 10 years younger than them and vice versa so age ain't noting but a number. What matters is chemistry which is something that I think both Ryou and Ichika have. |

| What a nice start of spring season. I really enjoyed it. Thanks God that CR (not Funi) is translating it btw. Glordit said: Beatrice-KF said: What the fuck is this thread calling sexual harassment "cute" ? Are we are not allowed to enjoy things anymore because some people can't separate fact from fiction? It seems that Americans are unable to understand that. And even if, 10 years age gap is not really that much. And even if someone wants to go with "MUH REAL" route, she's 17, so there's nothing wrong with it in the first place. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| A bit meh and bland for my preferences, but I can see the appeal for why people would enjoy this kind of rom-com at least. |
Another_ZHODY said: Why the fuck would I wanna see grooming/pedophilia in an anime? fuck you and your beautiful OP! As far as I know both grooming and pedophilia are about sexual attraction or relations, and in particular, pedophilia is about sexual attraction to prepubescent children. So... yeah, this show has nothing of that. Not prepubescent children, nor sexual attraction to any minor. halcyonparade said: Creepy guys who push themselves onto girls (a high school girl for that matter) aren't cool. The whole premise is a stinker right out the gate. Dropped. The title is: It's Too Sick to Call this Love. So... yeah. This show's premise most of the time is how she gets creeped out by his obviously creepy behaviour, and I mean, everyone in the show besides Ichika's mother is aknowledging that he's creepy as heck. I think you all are just seeing what you want to see. A reason to hate the show. |
