| They have a lot of kisses and hugs in this show. They're adorable. ♥ But they should stop being so paranoid/overthinker all the time, lolololol. Yamato x Mei. Relationship goals. I wonder if that would happen in reality, wherein a hot and popular guy falls in love with a plain girl and they live happily after. Really sounds like any other typical shoujo manga/anime that has unrealistic plot. But who knows? "Love is blind." ♥ Overall, it's an entertaining show. It's really similar to "Kimi ni Todoke". I can relate to this anime because I also used to be bullied, though I'm not socially awkward compared to Mei. The art is beautiful, as well as the music. |

Soren said: Overall ok series The thing that I didn't like was how yamato fell in love with mei. It just seemed so unrealistic for him to fall for that kind of girl without even getting to know her first. And then he forces himself onto her by kissing her without her permission. And then he put up with her even when mei was so reserved. Blah. Of course it was unrealistic. 1. It is a anime 2. No way would the most popular guy like.... or even TALK to the least popular girl in school. |

| Aiko best girl!!! |
| Any1 know where to continue it from the manga??? i wanna carry it on from the manga... :) |

Hachiko75 said: The most stupidest episode in this whole series! It's like two million steps back! What the hell? Nagi says and she just takes it and runs and omg Yamato hates me blah blah! And then Yamato lets his half pint run of a sister take his phone but finds his balls when it rings and snatches it from her? And then he gets his underwear in a bind when he thinks Mei is cheating on him. What the hell kind of bullshit was this episode? The writers wanted to make one last final attempt to have someone come between them since Megu is over her self and it has to be the sister and we thought she got her jealously over and done with in episode four but no she is still a bratty ass brat! Oh my god why are all these winter animes having suck ass endings? Good god! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. numero6 said: I'm already about to hop on that Kamisama Hajimemashitaaaaa ~ it's a very hilarious series. hope you liked it. puqtato said: This anime went absolutely nowhere, thank god it's over. another Amen. Venom900 said: If they had just stuck with the relationship between Mei and Yamato, all while dealing with her bullying problems it would have been a much better show. I also found it funny that despite all the drama they went through, even in the end they still fail to understand each other at all. 5/10....it's just too average of a romance show for me to give it anything higher if they stuck with mei and yamoto i think i would have killed myself. i'm so glad kei stepped in, however late he was. Vongole said: Mei's and Yamato's relationship seems to be more supported by their friends than themselves. LIKE SERIOUSLY. THIS. It would've been better if other charas got their focus ep like Aiko and Kai for eg. Srsly the supporting charas are more entertaining than the main two. no! kai x mei forever! Sorakaa said: Of course it was unrealistic. 1. It is a anime oh HO! i see! so every anime that's COMPLETE CRAP gets a scot-free ticket because "it's an anime". then i guess tonari is some kind of dark matter since it doesn't follow the rules at all. --------------- OH MY FREAKING GOSH. what the heck?!? this is EXACTLY why they don't match. at first it was mei, but then YAMOTO was acting like an idiot. but then kai, good old kai, supports mei without beating around the bush. but then she ruins it by STILL not going to his house. YOU BLOODY IDIOT. DIDN'T KEI JUST TELL YOU IT'S NOT LIKE YAMOTO TO SAY THAT?!? then, to make more needless chaos, the slut boy, WHO HAS ONLY APPEARED IN TWO WHOLE EPISODES decides to call out of bloody NOWHERE and tell yamoto needless bull he couldn't care less about. this episode would have been funny if it wasn't so freakin' stupid. anyway.... 2/10. i would have loved to give it a 1 like 3-4 eps ago, but i am giving it one more point for the wonderful light kei brought to the show, although it was so late. it may seem like just a point, but it's one filled with admiration and gratitude. the music was nice as well, which takes up around 10% of the second point. otherwise, horribly boring, cleche show. it's still not as bad as haru ride, which literally caused me physical pain looking at, but it's still unbearable. all the characters are boring (save for kei), the animation is bad, with not even a hint of sakuga. to say nothing of the plot. all in all, it's the utter and complete opposite of tonari, in every sense possible. i had some hope for this romance since haru ride had broken me so bady. and since it was in the same magazine as tonari, i thought it would have had better taste and reject cleches. couldn't have been more wrong. so yeah, i'm done. you have no idea how much haru ride drained me so much, and the sukitte had to make it even worse by being barely better. after i read and watched tonari, i thought i could find another romance like it. i had hope for the genre. looks like it's a one in a million story. now i hate the genre even more than i did before. i no longer care for the romance genre, and it's all haru ride and sukitte's fault. |

| Bloody Hell, they managed to became even more stupid than they were the whole series. Even comedic attempts didn't save the situation. And yes, I expected that Mei will say it out, loud and clear, but no. Finally, this overpredictable & megaboring series is over. Time to check how bad they made that 0VA. |
 There is such thing as shit taste. Only idiots think that every "work of art" should have the same value.  Persona anime are good. Deal with it. |
| Seeing Yamato fever-talk about Mei being in another relationship was hilarious ;) Still felt more like a special and not like the official ending. I give it a 5/10 (and that's nice and those points go mainly to Aiko and Kai) . Though I like shojo & romance Sukitte ii na yo just didn't work for me. Too many side characters and side stories, I found myself more often mad at Yamato's behaviour than being flattered or thinking that those two were a nice couple. I had to drag myself through the epsodes and am glad that it's finally over. And I wish it would have had more of Kai >_< |
| Hm. It's not bad. I'd give it a 6.5 overall, rounding down to 6/10. Story was typical and there weren't many things that made it stand out. I still enjoyed it nonetheless and thankful that there wasn't an overload of drama in it. The ending could've been better. I wish Mei told Yamato what he was dying to hear, which was "Yamato, I love you." (call him by his first name, pls). They included it in the end, but I bet you that was just what she wanted to say in her head again. Lame. Also, this last ep ticked me off a bit since they've been dating for awhile now and there's STILL misunderstandings between them bc they don't know how the other thinks. Kai knows both of them well =___=' Yeah, love is a learning process, but Kai has been away for a long time but he picks up fast. idk. I had high hopes for this series since I think the characters are so cute but it was aight. |
| Very cute anime. I enjoyed a lot <3 8/10 I feel like there should have more episode, but it warmed my soul and that's just what matters :D this last episode was cute but it shouldn't be made at the end... |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| The beginning is so awful to the point I want to drop it early then it's started to get a little better but after making Megumi as an antagonist this series really went downhill. Kai almost saved this show for me though. Not really good written story as a shoujo series. |
 |
| Why are they drinking cocktails at home..? The quintessential shoujo wish fulfillment; chemistry between the MCs barely exist, a bit repetitive and often makes sense 'cos it does'- the characters' intelligence levels suddenly drop whenever the writer want them to. But but mostly presented well, with certain redeeming qualities; suburban atmosphere and sound use, part of the realistic portrayal of school life and relationships('part of'), general lovable-ness throughout. 4-5/10 |
| That was like an OVA. Boring. Didn't like this show. 4/10. Kimi ni todoke was more lighthearted with a lot more charm and better music. |
 |
| Pretty standard shoujo romance series. 4/10 |
 |
| Stupid misunderstandings and inconveniences made this a poor episode, he runs by her while she is looking around a pole? His phone is out of battery? Uh-huh. Made me sigh. Previous episode better. I suppose I'll need to figure out what chapter of the manga to start on if i want to see an ending... |
 |
| Man, this last episode was really silly (in a good way), trying to add that shoujo drama but everything ended up being so silly and adorable! And this show was just that, cute, silly, funny, heart warming, even sad at times. But it was not frustrating. And we can owe that to how everyone's friends called each other out on their bs, that when there would typically be a relationship-effecting miscommunication, the friends step in and encourage better communication. And I really love this show for that! |
| "The will to live is stronger than anything else" |
| This is after watching all 13 episodes and the 1 OVA episode of Say I Love You: Out of all the serious animes that have come out of a shoujo manga, I think "Say I Love You" might be the best one. Usually when I enjoy animes that come out of a Shoujo manga, I usually enjoy the silly shoujo animes, for example Wolf Girl and Black Prince, Maid-Sama, Kimi Ni Todoke, My Love Story, Save Me Lollipop, etc. So when an anime comes out of shoujo-manga, and im supposed to take the anime serious, I usually get bored or its just too corny/cheesy for my taste to enjoy that I just drop it and move on. Or the pacing is too slow for my taste, or the anime is too bland. But this is not the case with Say I Love You. Say I Love You has a great atmosphere, appealing characters, nice interactions, good progress, nice pace, interesting love rivals for each MC. Say I Love You also has two good MC to follow around, you dont get bored or anything. I mean, yes, it does have some Shoujo things that I dont like, like feminine looking guys, guys with stupid-looking haircuts/hairstyles, but overall it grows on you. It also has the thing I dont like in which the main characters is what every side character or NPC character is worried about, like if they dont got lives of their own. And the over-the-top gossiping that makes everyone look like a jerk. And every now and then, the anime can get a bit bland/boring, but not enough to drop it. With all that said, as of the date of this review, Say I Love You might be the best non-comedy anime to come out of a shoujo manga. |

I watch shoujo series from time to time and also think this was the around the best in the genre... and yet I also feel it was pretty bland opposite of your comment. Seeing it was released in 2012, makes me sadder because there could be even better series 10 years later. |
| What can I say? Frustrating, infuriating series overall. The only saving grace was Kai. Straightforwardly pinpointing all the bullshyt every character in this show was doing. Egos fat as an elephant. 4/10 from me. |
| this anime was sooo sweet, I LOVE IT (*≧∀≦*) this may be a top 3 romance anime for me  Yamei <3 |

| that door bell scene got me fuming |
 |
| Episode 12 felt like the true climax/ending and that Episode 13 is the denouement/comedy special - which by the way felt like a prototype Kaguya-sama episode sans the narrator. Awesome show and it scratched the itch of what I felt was missing in the likes of Nagi no Asukara, Bunny Girl Senpai, and Toradora. After some deliberation, I'll give this a 10/10 even if episode 13 felt somewhat disjointed. It hooked me right at the first episode, the OP is absolutely gorgeous, and the portrayal of Mei and Yamato's dynamic, development, and how it focused on their lives after they got together is overall very strong. |
