A story about romance, cute girl, video games, another language and a lot of cute moment ? That's sound like another banger for Summer 2025 !

Appalling. Disgusting. Any and all pdf anime get a 1 from me. Would give negative 5 if I could. Went in thinking it would be your regular cutesy story with some gaming. Came out thoroughly disgusted. Won't mention the protagonists' ages here because it would be a spoiler but please look them up. Revolting.

It's pretty generic, but the language difference aspect added some flavors to it. It's nice to finally see Sally Amaki being utilized way more in anime. Her voicing the English dub version of Tomo-chan was a good start, but it's nice seeing her speak English in the actual original version of an anime. This anime probably has the best English spoken by the main character

This has some of the most English like Engrish of any non-dubbed anime I've ever watched. It's pretty damn close to the real deal for once. That aside, I don't understand why they don't just get a Brit, Aussie, or American to do voices. It makes no sense to me why they never cast people with whatever native tongue they need. It's so dumb. It would be so easy, especially nowadays. I don't understand why they limit voicing the way they do. It's the same freaking people doing everything, and most of them aren't even good actors. Gets some quality and friggin variety, and if you need an American then get an actual American, or if you need a German then get a real one. They've always been chopping themselves off at the knee when it comes to this stuff. It makes no sense.

The female MC's VA did an amazing job speaking English!
She sound a little like the training samples you might hear in a language training app, but he pronunciation is really good. Way better than I've heard from any other VA.

Okay, I really like this anime, but the question is... how old is she? lmao, she looks like an elementary school kid while the main character looks like a high school student.

Honestly, I initially underestimated this anime because, from the title, I thought it might be another bad original anime. But I was wrong. This isn't an original anime, but rather an adaptation of a web novel, and the plot is actually very engaging to follow. The language barrier and misunderstandings make the interactions between the characters very interesting and funny.

But rather than seeing them as the opposite sex, I see them more as a kid who likes an adult, and I think that's perfectly normal. Of course, I'm not saying this because I'm weird; the crush I'm referring to is actually more admiration than love. But kids probably don't understand that, and I think you and I have probably experienced the same thing. So, I find the interactions between the characters more amusing than negative.

Oh yeah, I forgot, at the beginning, when the main character starts talking, I feel like I'm watching a dub, lol. Apparently, the main character is actually a foreigner, not a Japanese person born with blonde hair. lmao. Anime really changed my perspective.

5/5

Age means nothing in fiction.

If you watch The Duke of Death and His Maid, then this is nothing.

Plus theres also the fact that Frieren, a 1k yr old elf, had feelings for a 26 yr old or so human.

So if ppl want to talk about "age gaps", there you go.

Yet ppl just praise that.

I was about a 7 during the first half but by the end of the episode this is a solid 9 for me honestly. Such a cute concept honestly and the art has some fun styling. I loved the House of the Dead arcade shooter sequence, especially with visiting a lot of Game Centers growing up the whole thing is very nostalgic.

the textbook english is reminding me of the Horizon and New Crown cameos in Witch Watch recently lololololololol
it's gonna be funny watching this as someone who was born and raised in the UK and currently still living here, I didn't even know about the valentine's customs tho I'm not very cultured at all ahahhahah
sally sounding like a right brit in this, I've never met anyone irl in school or at work that sounds like lily with that accent πŸ˜‚

can't believe they managed to get manami tanaka on this as lily's mum, all it's making me think of is just for this show to end up having any sorta awkwahd inglish πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Very cute show, Lily is adorable. Renji putting in some effort to write this notebook was really cool.

Sally Amaki is a great pick for Lily's VA

I don't think I've ever watched an anime where the main character always speaks in another language. Usually it's just every now and then or a few lines in the first ep to show they are foreign. This is nice.

Duolingo the anime?

the engrish is horrible, even squid game did better at grabbing random foreigners in korea for the vips, they should've done the same

Shuu Uchida should've taken the role, Aussie accent is the closest to british, Sally Amaki did okay tho

Watching the first episode, I already thought it was strange that she looked so young, until I looked it up. She's 13 and he's 18. I don't like that at all and find it very disturbing. I'll keep watching, but I hope it doesn't go any further... It's all very strange, and if it continues on the path of romance...

The return of the Kiniro Mosaic Engrish accent! I love the crayony art style too.
But I somehow missed that romance tag, and finding out the age gap from the comments kinda ruined things >.< Would have been nice to see a friendship story, or a smaller age gap.

A potential good 6/10 based on the first episode, but still, dropped.

I don’t think this situation counts as a cultural exchange it’s just a miscommunication. I’d say Renji was at fault, because he knows what Valentine’s is and he made a mistake and because he only speaks broken English. And just when I thought he had learned from his mistake, he made another one. Whatever, really.

Lol this is pretty cute so far, a game center is an unusual main spot for an anime especially a romance one and the main girl is a blonde foreigner who only speaks english, I like the originality of the story so far
