What is actually "LOVE"?
"Love is a complex set of emotions, behaviors, and beliefs associated with strong feelings of affection, protectiveness, warmth, and respect for another person."
Perhaps this is an explanation that we all understand. We are all human beings, have feelings and want to love and be loved.
"Why do you love ME?" What is the correct answer to this sentence?
"Because of your character, appearance, kindness etc" such an answer sounds logical and plausible.
But people have a scientific explanation for almost everything in 2020, can our feelings also be analyzed and explained by science? Can we tell from certain physical reactions and fluctuations that we really love someone?
STORY:
Our two scientists, Himuro and Yukimura, want to use the power of science to prove that everything has a rational explanation, including love. They have feelings for each other, but they aren't sure if you can really call it "LOVE"? With the help of a number of experiments, they try to collect data and evaluate it. All kind of test attempts are made: what does the pulse look like when the other person is next to you, at what angle would a kiss be best, how can you achieve the perfect romantic mood etc. Their friends from their university group help them to carry out the experiments and will also become guinea pigs themself. After the initial skepticism, however, they also become more interested in helping the couple and bringing them together.
ART:
The animations are very nice to look at, the characters are well presented. Even the difficult mathematical and physical matters are presented in an understandable way with the help of a small, sweet science teddy.
SOUND:
The OPs and EDs go well with the anime itself. Even if these are definitely not in the focus, it is relaxing to listen to the music and the song. The OP is sung by Sora Amamiya, who is also the seiyuu for the main female character Himuro. It feels like those are voices from two different people. Impressive!
ENJOYMENT:
First of all, a WARNING: you will learn more about math and physics here than at school. Well, maybe it's a little exaggerated, but for someone who enjoys formulas, laws and things like that, they can certainly learn a few things. Those who are familiar with the "Millennium Prize Problems" will find something interesting too. Although these problems have not been solved yet, they are explained to the viewer objectively but understandably. Perhaps a little bit too explicit for an clueless person...
In my opinion, there was a little too much science involved, so the romance has faded somewhat into the background. Nevertheless, we still see many romantic moments between our couple.
If you want to learn something for your own date, you are probably in the wrong place. Scientifically, the "perfect date and the perfect moment" exists according to the anime, but I would not recommend anyone to try it out in real life. Anyone who prescribes a schedule to the second for his girlfriend during an amusement park date and sets the perfect route with the help of the "Traveling salesman problem" could probably soon be single again in RL. Better not try all those experiments with your girl- or boyfriend. Be smart, take the scientific aspects with you!
After all, we humans are intelligent living beings and have feelings that certainly cannot be explained by science.
