Well this is ok I guess with the main cast although that main girl is very generic to the shoujo type. At least the guys has different occupations in their field of work.

First episode introduced the guys and I guess this anime is going to spend time building relationships between them and the main girl. I'm kinda surprised MAPPA is adapting this.

Most of chapter 1 got adapted with its ending matching up, looks like next episode will be 2 - 3? Maybe anyways. I'm surprised the opening showed off....something...lol so early, makes me wonder how much will end up getting adapted. Regardless, I enjoyed it! It was nice to finally see Kiro/Kira sing and dance even if it was in the background aaaaaa.

Watched it in the Mandrin dub aka original voice; it's faithful to the game. I'm pretty okay with it being with the main game for 3 years. It's really satisfying to see my babies being able to move

WTF did I just watch. Crunchy calling it Mr Love: Queen's Choice. From the name I figured I would not like it. A few mins into the show I though I might like it. The some time after I though WTF is this. Then I thought I might like it, and then the end happened. And i'm just thinking WTF did I just watch.

Quite a nice episode. As someone who plays the game the anime is based on, I'm kinda surprised they adapted the first chapter of it without much pacing issues. I'm not expecting a masterpiece from this anime but I love seeing my boys moving (and MC having a voice).

in case you didn't know Crunchyroll translated their names from the official EN game server, they didn't translated it directly from JP so it's a bit confusing hearing Zen/Victor, Kira/Kiro, Haku/Gavin, Simon/Lucien, we hope this gets dubbed on EN with their original English voice actors, I prefer EN dub over JP dub imo cuz their voice acting really fits well with their characters. So after this anime is over expect the EN dub in production.

Person of the internet. I dont watch stuff because of how they translate names. I dont even understand why you quoted my post and said what you said. Personally I find dubs filthy and an assault on my ears. You cant translate sound and feeling in characters when translating things into another perspective. I had no issue with the voice acting. The show was just weird, and while I watch it, it can stay weird or not. But if you want me to watch a dub, your gonna have to come tie me to a chair and pin my eye lids open before that happens. GFY.

maybe im just remembering the game wrong but i like how theyre focusing on the evol part more, unlike the game which was mostly just the characters. im not saying that the game did a bad thing in focusing on the characters, i love them all! but its something that makes it different in a good way from the game. unlike most adaptations which try to be different and end up messing stuff up lol

But that’s a small detail tho I’m curious how many things they’ll change in the future episodes.

yes, finally to see what the abundance of pixiv fanart is about lol


But do have to say, for an otome game adaptation I'm really digging the art style, interesting to see MAPPA behind this (never really expected them of all studios xd)


Characters are...decent so far. Only really digging Kira tbh the rest seem kinda bleh, (though Haku was hardly shown tbh). FeMC seems alright, more on the typical otome protagonist side of things of though. Voices I do like, apart from that warper dude and the people who were chasing him, their voices did not match their character one bit xd especially that blond guy whew (unless it turns out to be a girl)

I've been playing the game and it's so amazing to see everyone come to life (and hear their voices) in the anime! The art is so gorgeous too, especially in the ED. I watched both the CN and Japanese dub to compare their voices and they all sound so good!!

Wasn't actually planning to watch this, but I'm glad I decided to. It was an alright premiere, pretty much all the characters were likeable so far, except that Victor/Zen dude. I thought he would be a good person at first, but his first impressions at the end made me think otherwise. Beat him up, girl.

If you want clarification on the name: it's based on a Chinese game and the title is slightly different depending on the language it was released in. The English server calls it Mr Love: Queen's Choice. The Japanese server calls it EVOLxLOVE. The Chinese server calls it Love & Producer, etc. The names of the guys are also different depending on the language. That's why it's named different things for some reason.

Not really into otome adaptations tbh, but so far I like this one, the boys and the voice are great and their personalities are tolerable to some extent especially Sugita who happens to voice another ikemen in Stand my Heroes: Piece of Truth.

This first episode was enjoyable. I like the female MC. I can't say the same about the male characters tho. They all seem very uninteresting so far. We'll see how they evolve (no pun intended).

If there's one studio that I'd least expect to make an otome game adaptation, it's MAPPA. The visuals and animation are just too good for the miniscule genre.

Otherwise, it's the standard otome, but with a "unique" twist. I say this because most otome adaptations are batshit, and hoping this would be somewhat refreshing.

Well, ikemen will always be ikemen, and so far the supernatural men are handsome as heck, with their different Evolver (EVOL) powers. The female MC isn't shabby...so far, being a show producer, investigating her own dad's accident, and most importantly: not being a wimp to simp.

I'd hate to say this, but this premiere episode is just impressive, leaps beyond the typical otome game adaptations of years past. Let's hope that this gets better in the long run.

Interesting.. i havent watched something quite like this before and it intrigued me a lot. I also love anything that is associated with Mappa so I just knew I had to give this a shot. I'd give this episode a solid 8/10.

The pacing of this episode seems decent and I loved most of the changes to the story so far.

Initially I didn't like Simon/Lucien at the beginning of the game because of his kabedon in the moment of saying 'Trust your instincts'. It just seemed too aggressive towards someone he just met. So since the anime fixed this scene, his character can only get better and better as the show goes on (and I am damn sure that will be the case). Can't wait for adaptation of the chapters that focus more on him, was it 4th and 5th chapter?

Loved the meeting between Kiro/Kira and MC, it was cuter than how I remember it from the game, seeing experts from the game animated was a delight and also Kiki and Anna. Seeing all these small details seems that MAPPA really put their heart into it and I hope I am not wrong.

This episode had sooo many awesome hints. I don't know how will this work for anime-only viewers but hopefully they end up explaining more things later so they can catch up. Also I remember the game putting on slice-of-life airs longer before all the evolver stuff were explained and introduced so I guess they are speeding up that part at least.

Sadly, it's only 12 episodes long and if they only adapt first 10 chapters that would be a shame since the actual plot starts after that, but again if they go up to 18th chapter I am afraid it won't be executed well because of the big amount of story with Inception like elements and a small amount of time. It seems more and more to me that this will end being a promotion for the game, but who knows maybe we live up to see the second season.

As for what I didn't like, it's a small detail but I am not a fan of the tattoos for now, hopefully it's not a thing among all members (I expected BS to have a more elite air).

Ahh! I'm so excited about this. It's a great and accurate episode so far... a bit cringey with the music choices. Combined with the narration it kind of gives me Ace Attorney vibes...very gamey...although I guess that's the point. I really like Watashi/MC's voice... the seiyuu really gives her a likeable and...independent personality (despite how she's just doing what been passed to her). i was worried she'd be given a childish of A Tohru-esque personality (Fruits Basket). At first with the music, it did seem like that, but so far it's not too bad. Overall seiyuu selections matched really well and also a good amount of information without being a braindump.
10/10 on Seiyuus
10/10 on the minor art changes
7/10 on pacing
6/10 on the music
The game-ey music gives it a very B-rated anime in my opinion, which I hope others don't feel. With all the game content, this could be a very fun/dark series (like season 2 please sign us up!)
....Overall super flipping excited for the next episode.

Fans of the otome game this is based on may have a better idea of the story than I do, but so far it feels decent.

Thanks to Bakarina, this feels a bit generic to me, but that's probably bias on my part. As an introduction to the world, it's done fairly well in this episode, with the heroine and her four love interests being given sufficient debuts that should keep interest going as to what route the show will go.

Technically, the animation is pretty and the music is charming. The OP and EP look very slick and neat.


Looks to be an ok beginning.

After playing the game for a while and having just completed chapter 14, I'm so glad to see this turned into an anime! I didn't think it was possible for otome to be adapted to anime but I'm glad to see it. I'm just gonna put it out there that Gavin is the best boy and I hope the anime will be able to do him justice; although I feel like he looks better in the game.

Supernatural themes. An evolution among peoples that led young woman to faced the reality of the world: an evolver. I guessed, i was interested with the premises. But, not much in the end. I found it too cliche. Welp, i still watch this till the end. The interesting part must be happening in the next episode. Who knews what destiny that woman had in the future?

Fantastic first episode! As a fan of the game, I’m very happy with it (so happy to see my favorite boy Kiro ^v^)

Also, for all anime-only viewers, let me just say that as someone who plays the game, it’s only going to get better from here on out! There’s a lot of awesome stuff that’s still yet to be seen.
I’m looking forward to seeing all of my favorite scenes fully moving and animated!

Though with only 12 episodes...makes me wonder how much they’re going to adapt, depending on their pacing. In the trailers I saw some of the dates from the game (which are completely optional), so I wonder how the pacing is going to go and how much of the story they’re going to adapt before this season ends!
