Boooring, the girls are cute but the mc is too dense and cringe. I think that combining science with love to do comedy doesn't work. Although this remains a lot of Wotakoi and I really hated that show xD

What a terrible rom com. The chemistry between these people suck. It trys to be smart and funny at the exact same time but ends up being boring. This is why I don't high hopes for anything because a majority end up failing.

So this series is being a mish-mash of the recent rom-com shows (particularly Kaguya-smma), the sprinkles from all over.

I remember the manga being just OK, nothing to boast about, and the anime adaptation pretty much the same with low-budget aesthetics drawn for layers while being faithful to the source material.

While leads Yukimura and Himuro are the stereotypical scientist "normie nerds" treating love like an object of affection as a means of experimentation, it just kinda reeks the more that the feelings and emotions of Kaguya-sama are just being taken to an extent where love is naive to those without experience.

If this was meant to be viewed as a rom-com, you've certainly come to the wrong place, or as how this show is marketed, as-is. At least the OST is nice.

OK first impressions, more on the decent to mediocre side.

This looks to be really fun. I understand the Kaguya-sama vibes, but I get more Wotakoi vibes from this.
Also Himuro is really cute and attractive

Lol this was so stupid. As I recently graduated with a masters degree in computation math I feel a stronger connection to this. All the Math/Science/Computer Science references are great and the characters are so absurd. I promise no one is actually like this in grad school.

Still I can see how people would not find this as enjoyable if they don't, for instance, know what a turing machine is, or not be familiar with the "belongs to" notation to understand how absurd the A,B "belongs to" human thing is.

Omfg this is so great! It's so clear that she wants to keep experimenting to get her fill of Yukimura doki doki and he wants to keep experimenting to stall any romance between them because he has no experience and is therefore shy!

I completely get Himuro though... Yukimura is hoooot and he's voiced by Yuuma Uchida so he has a damn sexy voice 😍

Great first episode!

It trule exceeded my expectations, and i found this parody trol and funny, it is like a mix from Kaguya-sama and Dr.Stone!

Himuro is really adorable and hot, and i love when her ponytail wag when she is happy following by a blushing, she is too precious and cute!

Kanade's reactions to their experiment was really hilarious all over episode!

Also curious know more about that purple hair girl!

Never expected to see an anime where a hypothesis test was explained by pedobear. Guess you always see something new.

The women are actually pretty cute, but the jokes were only okayish. I also checked out the second episode and I don't think I will continue this for the time being. There are too many shows in this season anyway and something has to go. Though I gotte admit - as a "science type" - this kinda stings :/

While I was a bit confused by the science terms and rapid-fire dialogue, this was still a very enjoyable episode. Yukimura and Himuro were hilarious and they totally accommodate to their voice actors' talents. It was also fun seeing Kanade trying to act like the normal person of the group. It will be interesting to see to see how the show can sustain its premise for the rest of the season.

Yippie.. finally my fav Manga get adapted XD.
yep romcom+science(information science) is one of my fav combination :D

Loved these "YukimuraxHimura" pair of adorable dumb couple XD... and poor Kanade for being the only normies LOL. can't wait for IbaradaxInukai pair to show up( well, Ibarada already shown at the end of the episode)

That was a great fresh start for the adaptation, love both catchy OP and ED song, both animation sequence too( combination of math and science + all character), the execution of gag and jokes were pretty well executed + Himuro's hair XD and great blushing expression of them.

Can't wait to see next episode >_<

This feels exactly like Kaguya-sama Love is War just without the funny expressions and reactions. The first episode was ok. I like the concept but the jokes havent been as funny as the premise makes it sound.

That side girl was the funniest part for me with her reactions. Seems my enjoyment will be riding on the side characters which is never a good thing for a series in my opinion.

Cheap production, but nicer than I thought. It felt kinda cringy at first because as math graduate I don't really buy into the stereotype that nerdy scientists think everything can be proved by math. But then the jokes were kinda nice and it's good to see that they also try to educate the viewers about things like null hypothesis. It can easily get tired after a couple episodes if they just keep doing absurd "experiments" but there are other characters. Will have to see how it goes. (afaik the entire show is already out on some platforms.)


The mathematical aspects are hurting me internally. It is evident that the directors have no idea what they're doing.

Very fun to watch. The comedy was just okay to me, but I liked their interactions. Kinda feel like Himuro's wagging ponytail carried the show for me though, it was just so cute! I like Kanade too. She's like Chika in Kaguya but more normal and not as oblivious, a good foil for these two.

Killer ED. Best ED this season that I've seen so far.

Uninteresting and unfunny. I don't know what compelled me to give it a try after reading such a bland premise.

At least there's some value in this thread, as it serves as evidence that receiving higher education doesn't make people's sense of humor any more sophisticated. Showing a researcher using LaTeX or namedropping words used in academia doesn't even qualify as a joke. It's not even "reference humor" at that point, just basic characterization.

Looks to be an interesting series! My first impression of this upon reading the synopsis was that Yukimura alone would be obsessed with proving love, remaining obstinate, but having Himuro as well take part in this big charade makes it all the better! The sumo comparison to the wall slam was funny also

Okay, first episode in. I was expecting a bit more but instead saw nothing but a very hot graduate female and a boring male. I know the whole bit of these two being the opposite of what one sees in real life for nothing but gags and laughs but really? The guy couldn't be more clueless if you didn't get him a map on how to get to the door in the room.

Now unless both are medical or chemistry grads, there really isn't any reason why they should be in lab coats. Now for Himuro, wow, she's not. Short skirt, black leggings, high heels, long hair. Wait, I know it's fiction. I don't know of femal that dresses like that, especially when it come to university classes unless they were business grads going to an interview and even then the skirts would be knee high.

I'll give this a 4/5.

When I first read the synopsis ,i thought it would be similar to kaguya-sama but it's got its on story
the plot is super funny (also non realistic) ,but the screen play and the occurrence of events made it entertaining
The female lead is super hot and also cute ,a very rare combination which makes her super adorable

Worse than the Big Bang Theory, and I hate that. I was hoping it'd be more like Wotakoi.

Nice start of this cute romantic comedy setting of science students falling in love...if only this could happen irl *cries in no woman in my study and being anti-social idiot anyway*.

Must be a pain in the ass for Kanade to deal with those two doofuses not wanting to admit to be in love with each other without any scientific proof even though its quite simple.
Yukimura, Himuro ∈ main characters of romcom anime therefore they are in love. Q.E.D.

Well first of all, I don't know if I'm losing or gaining braincells.

The opening is alright, ending is a bit better.

An anime where they're defining what ''love'' is with science. Sounds ridiculous but it's pretty fun. Himuro, our pink girl, is pretty cute. Her voice sounds calm too. And the fanservice is appreciated. Kanada's pretty cute too.

Our maincharacter, Yukimaru. Acts like a NEET but he's actually a smart scientist who never felt ''love''.

First episode was pretty funny, can't wait to know more about the girl in the end.

And like the manga, the anime was pretty average. It's not necessarily terrible, but a bit on the bland side. I like the integration of science into rom-com in concept, but the characters and situations themselves didn't really win me over as much in execution.


I take this back. Rewatching this season to prepare for the next one in a month from now and that first episode felt a lot more forced and unfunny than I could remember. The lack of any quality directing didn't help with the delivery of the stuff from this episode as everything felt more awkward and forced with the scientific terms and statistical examples listed here. It feels a lot slower than what I expected too, which doesn't help given how this show relies on one goofy, novelty concept that can get boring with the science stuff if not kept fresh and exciting with the episodes. Hope the rest gets better from this but man, for all the science terms and concepts used, this show does not feel smart at all. Especially with how the execution of those references are with this episode.

lovee this lol

we've seen a bunch of "i dont believe in love" tropes where they try out a bunch of stuff to prove it like contract dating and etc but with this one they ACTUALLY try to prove it lmfao. and with the dynamic where they're both stubborn ish people, kinda like kaguya and shirogane makes it even better

Wow this episode... being in science stream from the beginning could be helpful anywhere I guess lol. Though proving love with it.. definitely the first i heard of.

Will be interesting to see how far they can bind us up these scientific jokes. Fine first episode though, and that opening too.

My expectations were high and it exceeded them. The only downside I can think of is all the text on screen that can be hard to read without pausing.

Setting is totally different, but it kinda reminds me of Wotakoi.

I liked the title of this, and so I started watching it when it was airing. But I ended up stalling it because for whatever reason it wasn't clicking with me. So, now it's time to binge this. I don't remember anything about it.

The opening segment was pretty funny. From there, it was sort of hit or miss with some things being more amusing than others. So I probably found it to be fairly inconsistent before and just got bored of it.

I'd say the major saving grace is that Himuro is pretty cute, and maybe one of the more horny anime characters I've ever seen. So, at least this show has that going for it.

Tights focus on girl.. Alright.. ;P
Are they really like that just in their magistrate years?.. They talked and held themselves as if professors, lol.. I had chances to talk with magistrates a lot.. They're usually young casual people, lol.. But ok, maybe it's their personalities like that then..
I'm impressed sub makers actually translated all the text in graphs and stuff as well, lol.. They're dedicated.. It feels a lot of this text isn't that important.. Some of it will be, probably..
Hm.. But wouldn't it be better to commit this kabedon experiment 2 times?.. One time with supposedly person in love, and another time with the supposedly not person in love?.. As maybe it's not love interest's influence on the pulse there, but the action itself.. Would it be love, if you feel horny, excited, or whatever - with majority of persons?.. And this totally can be it, as it can be action's influence, not loved one's.. Also, there can be getting used to action.. So probably doing kabedon several times would be preferable as well.. Like 5 times with one person, 5 with another.. Take like 5 people or something.. Also make love interest somewhere in the middle or something..
Same about testing other supposedly pulse raising situations.. Just testing the action isn't enough.. You're just proving that the action itself is raising the pulse.. It should be at least compared with other people performing same action.. And even in that case probably some other variables should be controlled as well.. But for a start this would be at least something, I guess..
Even if experiment doesn't prove anything.. Anime is kind of fun, I guess.. As well as it's kind of fun to think what exactly their experiments mean.. Maybe they will control person variable later in the anime, who knows.. It's just start of the season.. And even if they won't control it.. For now it's amusing to watch.. Will see, how it'll go next.. ;P
