• Rikei ga Koi ni Ochita no de Shoumei shitemita is a fun and enjoyable seasonal anime that fills the romcom slot. Rather than putting major focus on either the romance or comedy aspect, this Anime adds science to the mix instead, providing a unique experience.
Story (7):
• Basic romcom premise, two main characters like each other and chaos ensues.
• In this case, the science aspect adds a unique twist to the typical romcom premise which brings the comedy up a notch.
• I don't expect to see any resolution on the romance side of things, and if there does happen to be some resolution, it will probably be very weak.
• The science as previous mention is fairly realistic and grounded in reality. Lot's of real life references are made along with explanations to what they mean. The way they do the explanations kind of annoys me, it is sudden and done in a very strange manner.
Art (7):
• Not much to be said in this category. Art looks good but nothing special. Animations are typical as well, some movement with mostly static shots. It does the job and does not take you out of the experience. However, the opening theme does have good visuals to it.
Sound (7):
• Slightly better than the art but not enough to reach an 8. The opening and ending themes are both well made and catchy with the opening being the better of the two in my opinion.
• The OSTs used are average and forgettable but get the job done.
Characters (8):
• This is where the series shines. Characters all have unique personalities and quirks. This makes for fun and interesting interactions between each other. You have the two science types that struggle to function in normal circumstances and over analyze everything. You have the two otakus that like the mess with each other and cause trouble. You have the freshman girl that just joined them who has a more level headed attitude that struggles to keep up with their craziness. And recently, the absent minded yet polite teacher that turns insane at the drop of a hat. All in all, you can expect some crazy scenarios that you will not find in typical romcoms.
Enjoyment (8):
• I am personally enjoying this Anime a lot and look forward to it every week. As a disclaimer, I tend to be in the target audience for these types of shows but I am attempting to review this without any bias.
Overall (7):
• Considering all the previous categories and the score I have given them, I have decided to give the Anime a 7 as of now. This is a score that is subject to change, but I am pretty confident it will stay as a 7.
• I recommend this show to fans of romance, comedy, and science. People that are expecting actual romance will be disappointed. If you are expecting a complete story or a season 2, you will also likely to be disappointed.
Conclusion:
• Definitely a good seasonal show that is worth watching but not a stand out in particular.
• My first ever review as well, feedback is appreciated.
