I was pleasantly surprised by this anime. At first, I was expecting something Boku No Pico-esque but it was surprisingly cute.

The characters are well developed and likable. The art style is beautiful; being a 2016 anime, the sound and art is very clean.

It's not entirely obvious how young Ren is, so depending on how comfortable you are watching children as part of a yaoi, this anime may not be for you. It's certainly not as disturbing as other underage yaoi, and it's certainly not graphic,so it may be good even for the faint-hearted.

It's extremely slow build which is I find irritating, especially since there isn't ... much of a payoff by the time things get going. I was expecting more Junjou Romantica-type scenes but there just weren't enough of them. Hopefully because their relationship only really got off the ground in the final few episodes, a second season will contain cuter scenes.

The story is basic, but very effective because of this. The main characters are lovable and relatable; despite Saitama being an incredible hero he is basically a typical poor twenty-something living in a small flat and obsessed with supermarket discounts. The comedy therefore centers around his deadpan nonchalant attitude to serious situations and the awkward struggle of everyday life, e.g. simply catching a mosquito, and works perfectly with the rest of the anime.

The animation is incredible, especially during the fight scenes. Madhouse has a great reputation for making action sequences look intense and they pulled it of spectacularly in this anime - especially for Genos. ... The sound is amazing, you'll be singing the theme tune after a few episodes. Sounds corny, but it really conveys the sheer awesomeness of the anime as a whole. The ending theme tune is a stark contrast to the opening, but reminds you that after all the action that has happened in the episode, after a long day of being a hero, the characters still have to go back to their regular lives just like everyone else. And that's basically the show.

Well where do you start with this one...

This is a great anime to watch with your friends with a pillow covering your horrified expression and stifling your uncontrollable cringing laughter. I'm not sure anyone watches this out of anything more than morbid curiosity or a dare from your friends. This is how I ended up watching this entire series, and trust me, it doesn't get better with each episode.

The characters are predictable and the story line is pretty disgusting, but what do you expect really? If you manage to sit through this, just remember that you'll be trying to get the images out of your ... head for a long time. Once again, horrible story, great for a laugh with your friends.

Despite only being 2 episodes long, this is possibly one of my favourite yaoi animes. The story line itself is a little lacking as there is so much to cram into a short time, but considering it's only 2 episodes long it doesn't feel rushed.

The characters are well considered and well developed, and their relationship seems genuine. I wish there were more episodes to explore the characters further.

The art style is reminiscent of Junjou Romantica, but with better proportions.

The comedy is better highlighted in the first episode but the second episode has it's awkward cringey moments too. The romance between the characters really picks up ... by the second episode and the flow doesn't seem to rushed between them, giving the story time to develop and give you some really fluffy moments.

Overall a really good yaoi for only an OVA.

Honestly, you should miss this one out if you don't want to waste half an hour. There isn't much of a story line and the characters are bland and difficult to connect with. This is probably because there is only a single episode, and I would have liked to see what more episodes would accomplish. For me, the animation was good quality, but I didn't like the style of it as it is not as fluid as other anime. The only redeeming quality was Chappie the squirrel, which added a somewhat refreshing comedic tone to the otherwise dull and predictable anime.

I feel like my review is biased because after watching the main story Gravitation, it left me wanting more. I feel this anime gives you what the main story is lacking, which is a feeling of greater connection with the characters. The main characters' relationship is better explained and somewhat cuter in this than in the main story, although the rating of r-17 is a bit of a stretch really because there is no explicit nudity and only one or two scenes where it is hinted at. Overall, the animation is pretty much the same as the main storyline, but I feel that the connection ... of the characters is better emphasised.
