| 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. |

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 Yeah I only just noticed when voting on the Osomatsu episode thread for today. It already has 75 1/5 votes, must be bots. Wtf? XD |

| 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. |
 |
| 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. |

| This is actually pretty good for their first episode! I'm going to enjoy this one. this is far more better than the overrated romance of last season (if you know what I mean) |
 |
| I really liked this, I’m always down for nice romcom, and this one fits the bill imo, really like the dynamic between Ryo and Ichika. Also, not very surprised that there are people disgusted by this lol, it’s a shame but I knew it would happen. rsc-pl said: What a nice start of spring season. I really enjoyed it. Thanks God that CR (not Funi) is translating it btw. Glordit said: 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. Exactly, it will forever be amazing to me that people get so upset over fiction. |
| I didn't really like this one all that much. Comedy didn't hit me well and it doesn't really stand out for me as of right now. I'm hoping it gets better in the future |

FouAlter said: why is this one so many 1/5? i did appreciate and enjoy this one, so im going to watch this one If I had to say, Because of mentally concerning people who cannot recognize the difference between pedophilia and some guy being romantically attracted to a teenager for her personality and being creepy (in a completely non sexual way) about it, which basically everyone on the show recognizes as it is. |
| I'm loving this. The comedy is great. As long as Ryou stays faithful to Ichika then I have no problem. 10 years is not that big of a gap when she is 17. |

I find it even more annoying and baffling that "some" people always have to use the same excuse of "it's fiction" as a way to negate any kind of criticism towards any kind of show no matter how terrible it is in it's lackluster content and presentation. SoraSenpai said: 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 Maika & Dino at least it was funny because the writer knew how to elevate the absurd comedy to 11 and the animators knew how to make physical comedy look good on screen. This premiere is just sad, poorly animated and cringely unfunny. |
| Erm... I know it's supposed to be a comedy but a guy in his early 30s going after a JK... That's pretty disturbing. I'm not sure gags will be able to completely cover this feeling of uncleanness you get when you realize what's happening. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| This show is definitely not for me. God, I hate Ryo so much lol. Yep, I know that's the point but I can't really sit through 12 more episodes just to see him become a good/better guy. |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| I just dont get why a show about an older guy like this forcing himself being in a girls life who is a high school student is ok? She clearly told him to leave her a lone and he is all like naaa all g i'm gonna keep annoying you. Sending a message like this is ok is wrong. Regardless of sexual attraction or love or whatever. |
 |
| If I had a nickel for every show this season that involves an adult dude and a high school girl, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice lmao. I actually really enjoyed that, wasn't expecting a lot when I saw the trailer. But now, I think it's going to be a fun show. Dude's a creep, but I think that's the point. I think the show is just gonna be about how Ichika sees Ryo as a creepy nice dude and their banter, there should be no romantic developments. I really like Ichika, keep shutting that dude down. Also, that OP and ED fucking slaps. The voice recordings do be sounding kinda weird though lmao. |

Antanaru said: a guy in his early 30s going after a JK... He's clearly not in his early 30s, and age gap doesn't really matter for the events of the show. Swizze said: why a show about an older guy like this forcing himself being in a girls life who is a high school student is ok? Because it's fiction. You can make stories about murder, crime, mafia, and WHATEVER you want and it's okay. Swizze said: Sending a message like this is ok is wrong. What are you trying to see in the show? By the literal fact of the characters literally feeling creeped out by Ryou's behaviour the show is clearly stating this kind of behaviour is NOT OKAY. It doesn't mean it won't end well, though. Among all the possible wrong behaviours, this one is not that bad. And why doesn't she just call the cops on him? Because then the story would have already ended. It would have taken 3 manga pages to write such story and it wouldn't be interesting at all. To be honest, I'm more worried about people wanting to tell a simple mangaka what she should not be writing about. Do you own her? sKyBlazer08 said: You'd have three.

| I thought it was ok for a first episode, it had some moments that made me chuckle and a pretty general introduction to the characters. I don't usually mind age gaps so I'm fine with that, I mind his creepiness and the enabling sister and mother more tbh. The OP and ED was pretty nice but dear lord the VA quality was horrible (understandably because of the pandemic and working from home), I thought my headphones were broken and I had to test them with some music to make sure they were fine xD. The animation was ok, the art style was not my favorite but not bad. I'll stick around for a couple more episodes to see what direction it's going in but it might get dropped if it doesn't pick up with the characters or story |
| |
| This anime made me super uncomfortable, but at the same time i thought this is pretty wholesome? I don't even know if i like this anime or not. |
| this is fun so far. i like the bickering couples. well tehnicly she is.. :P but hes a scumbag and a womanizer.. soooo might have some drama? |
| OMG.......I’m dead......... Toyonaga Toshiyuki’s voice is so good......that was pure eargasm. I’m glad he’s a male lead in at least one seasonal for me this season♡ Hope they improve on the sound quality tho. I like the art style. They look simple & normal. Like real people. What’s wrong with it? Love the ED & its visuals too. And the sister is gorgeous! |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| so many people hated the pisode yet it has a score of 7 ? |
| check out odd taxi |

It's because everything has to "send a good message" nowadays and everything has to be a social commentary, apparently. We can't just watch or read something without constantly seeing opinions how everything is problematic, toxic and not okay, as if those fictional characters are real people with human rights that the author must uphold and protect lmao. |

Like I mean ...? It's pretty obvious. Not everybody reads synopsis, specially the ones in here that sometimes are cryptic and poorly redacted. A lot of us like to go fully blind into new seasonal shows to get the maximum experience without any bias, a good show will be a lot more enjoyable as a big surprise. Likewise a trash show will feel like swimming in a sceptic tank. |
