| the premise is kinda good but it will be ruined on this generic romance anime |
 |
| It's better than i thought i would be. Though, i don't like how 'weak' the main guy is. Will look forward for the next episode. |
" Have some adventure while you can, and then start to figure things out" 5 Centimeters per Second  |
| Well, i'm interested to see what happens next, even though the premise is just siilly. So every young teen couple that falls in love in school is expected to just forcibly break-up so they can marry a complete stranger? Why even bother dating then. And what's with two government workers showing up at midnight in a fucking park? That makes zero sense whatsoever. He gets his marriage match 1 minute after turning 16 in the middle of a park, but she goes months without a word about her marriage match? Also stupid. |
| I love this series, it's not your typical school love drama :D There is a little more maturity in it which is good :) |
 |
| Very interesting! I wonder why the phone message was with the name the one he likes broke and a different name was in the official paper... |
 |
| Eugenics, the anime. That was... quite nice. It went about as expected (at least the ending). No happy end for you! I wasn't expecting the girl to show up at all though. |
  |
| it was an okay start, im an anime only viewer so i don't know much about this series but the plot seems interesting the main characters eyes freak me out, like how large they are legitimately concern me 0.0 but i like the vibe the show has given me in the first episode, the feel of it reminds me a bit of kuzu no honkai with heartbreak and not being able to be with the one you love, so we'll see where it goes |
| Holy crap... I have never seen a more romantic series episode like this, EVER!!! Despite this episode was soooo f*king romantic as hell and I enjoyed it really a lot, why do they confess each other after 5 years? Some people argumented already with the fact that confessing love in romance animes (and even in Japanese culture itself) for highschool kids is really tough as they are so high-afraid of the rejection or of the thoughts of the other persons can have. Therefore, I can unterstand it. Is someone here from Japan itself and confirm this phenomen of having fear of love confessing in Japan or Asian culture? From what I know it is true that - in comparison to European culture - teenagers are more shy than let's say people in Europe, but does it also appeals to love confessing? |

| First ep was so good, I found it interesting and tugged at my heartstrings. Hoping it gets better but not really liking the 'lie' part of it or Lilina so far. |
| Meh...not quite original premise but still gonna continue watching the drama. Btw, stalker guv officials eh....odd virus in phone....and average guy scoring hottest girl (#23454). Also, if they wanna combat low birth rate, they should ban contraceptives and rubber and make some 'socializing' time in HS 2nd or 3rd year. |
tragedydesu said: this is too predictable how it will end just another Nisekoi with different excuse to make the trash blonde girl win 1/10 , dropped considering Onodera and Takasaki share the same seiyuu, I think you might be on point lol |
 |
| I like the idea of the show, however the first episode was a letdown for me. It seems too predictable and melodramatic for me so far. (And that's saying something considering I love shows with heavy drama.) I'll try to continue watching for now, but who knows how that will go. |
| An intriguing premise. The premiere was enough to capture my attention, it seems the show has quite a bit in store for the viewers. The background music was enthralling too, nothing less from Masara Yokoyama (of Kuzu no Honkai, among others), no wonder it felt familiar. The main character's match didn't seem that bad, though. I'm looking forward to more. |
| Well I like the concept of the show and so far it was very good. Nejima reminds me of Maruo from Baby Steps design wise other than that I found the 1st episode quite good. The romance part was pretty heavy imo. They honestly kissed to their hearts content, even putting some tongue action. Like wow it was lit for them. I enjoy these type of romance shows, seeing passion between two characters. So hopefully the show continues to be good. |

| How did the government people know he was in the park? .... |

Smudy said: he made the your lie in april ost aswell he is amazingThe colors in the second half were amazing, just gonna get that out of the way first. Also Masaru Yokoyama who did the Kuzu no Honkai OST is the composer for this one as well, you can hear it, too. Oh man, that's brilliant i'll have another great OST on my hands soon. This was really good, i can see the despair coming already, i'm not ready for this. Really odd how these people in black just come out of nowhere knowing exactly where the MC is though o_O |
| Ahhh I really loved this! It's exactly my kind of thing :3 I hope MC and Mikasi get their happy ending! |
| 'I love you because you're you. I'm happy that you're whole. I don't care if there are sides of you that I don't know, or don't like. If that's who you are, that's fine. As long as you're whole, that's enough for me.'-Kouko Kaga |
| Started watching from today,dem feels hit hard ,kana hanazawa the true waifi💓 how many fking times have she hurt my frail kokoro lost count of it. |
| This is Romance Cliches: The Anime. Apart from the cliches and tropes the art and animation is good. Not really a fan of huge eyes but I guess it's okay. The music is good too. But you will have to turn your brain off when watching this, judging from the first episode. |
 |
| Aw, don't give up mang! His potential waifu looks cute too tho D: hope it won't be a problem, which I'm sure it will be >.<" |
| Hm, seems interesting enough. I guess I'll pick up the manga from here on out for a more elaborate view on the story. Curious to know how this'll turn out. I wonder if some silly little lovers quarrel thingy of theirs will end up changing society as a whole loooool how funny would that be.. or maybe the two leads will end up being together because of that little glitch thingy that happened when he received the notice on the phone. If that's the case then ehhh, how basic. And wow that Takasaki is a hentai i mean did u rly need to go on top of him to kiss him and then u guys french ahhhhhhhhhh stop it. |

| Wow that was beautiful! I can see why some would think it felt rushed, but I rather see scenarios like this rather than a prolonged dragged on story where the characters never actually get together, let alone confess. |
 |
| If I'm in Yukari position, I'm sure I am very happy that night, because I get to kiss the one I love, even after receive the notification through phone that it's her name. I would fight for the notification in the phone instead of the letter. the notification by phone are delivered first anyway. |
| Looks pretty interesting so far....can't wait to see how this goes. |
 |
| When that glitchy message showed something too good to be true I swear he was gonna wake up from dreaming all that. Pretty nice start to the show though, the music is nice and all! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Omg, I hate this template. When the main character forgets about his birthday. "The Absolutist", "The Great Gatsby"... Where was it yet?! But! In "Koi to Uso" the 16th birthday is so important. So stupid. |
| What the hell? What did Takasaki mean she wasn't planning on coming? Did she get a notice already? |
 |
| Hm.. Interesting futuristic scenario.. If all would marry with having genetics in mind.. Though.. Would we really need more people with higher IQ?.. Also, if IQ would be higher, then it'll actually remain the same.. As IQ just shows some performance capabilities in relation to other people.. So still it would remain in form of bell shape, and still majority would be somewhere in the middle, and some people on the ends.. So.. Yeah.. Well, I still kinda get, what they mean by IQ anyway, I guess.. Telling that people got smarter, or maybe this law of the birth was only implemented in Japan, so that's why they showed better results, compared to others.. But in general people already get smarter really with birth, new generations, them having access to internet.. But enough on this topic for now.. This scenario wouldn't be possible, though.. I mean, it's forcing such choice on people, but what about freedom of choice, and stuff?.. Nowadays it's on the contrary things on the rise, actually.. With less traditional and more various relationships arising - LGBT and stuff.. So you'd get in conflict with them, really.. Unless some dictator would show up or something, who would control it, but it's not that likely, in Japan especially, it being strategic place of democracy and stuff on the far East.. So really not that possible in near future.. Maybe after 100 years with many changes in world.. Or maybe after some huge changes like world war or civil war in some democratic important country.. Also, I think.. That NTR and cheating always existed, even if they're illegal.. And would continue to exist then as well.. So really, if anyone would want, they could be lovers illegally.. I'm actually glad to see that anime showed this thing.. That to Nejima it was an important memory.. But to Takasaki it was unimportant one.. I mean, stuff like this happens all the time.. ;p Well, unless she lies, of course, as lies are in the name of anime, so any thing can be a lie, really.. ;p Which is a bit frustrating.. But lies only ahead, will see, how I'll feel about them.. ;p So it's romantic story after all, with her remembering same things.. Oh well.. ;p And yeah, reason, why she really could lie in school - just not to attract attention of others around at first, as a possibility, for example.. ;p Also.. What about divorces?.. Are we suddenly in Middle Ages, when divorces are prohibited, cause it's the alliance approved once and for forever by God, and so unbreakable?.. ;p In reality, actually, percentage of divorces is around 50% or something.. And not all of the remaining in marriage live happy life as well, some just still living in it for children, for example, worrying that they need the second parent.. And living unhappily in there.. Men.. Cheating exists, you know?.. ;p So if anything, consider it.. ;p If anything, also swinging exists, if it's about guilt for your other partner.. ;p But well, they're only 16 years old.. Still a lot to learn in love things.. |
| Confessing AND kissing in the first episode in a romance anime? That's illegal! Also did those government officials deadass just go look for him on some random playground at like 12 pm?XD??? |
 |
| Can a smartphone screen even get glitched like that outside of water damage or getting bricked? |
| When I was in Kamata, Japan, having just returned to my apartment after a business meeting with an audio related company in Nagahara, I turned on the TV on channel 11 and saw the last ten minutes of this series. It was July 4, 2017. I never forgot the look of the characters and that night sky full of stars. So when my wife turns on the TV today and this was showing on Amazon Prime so that my daughter could watch it, I decided to watch too. It looks more interesting than I expected. I am enjoying this series so far. |
| ah yes finally, state mandated GF |
 |
| Everything just seems so sus that I won’t be surprised if our main character wakes up from a simulation and realizes he was a human battery in the matrix this whole time |

|
I'm wishing I could return to Japan, permanently! |
| Not really used to this art style but at the same time it's kind of good, The OP sounds neat well meaning it befits the anime, to be honest It was kind of a dumb law to start with like you can personally think a lot of flaws to this yourself like for once the suicide rate goes higher since they're "forcefully" matched with a partner thus messing up the reason that it started A bit of an open anime, I'm going to guess this going to be one hell of a ride I just feel it in my veins but I hope it doesn't go for the worst like what can go wrong. |
