Gotta be honest here - KoiAsu is an average moe CGDCT anime. I came into this not knowing much about astronomy and I *still* don't care about it. I'm OK with typical CGDCTs like this so long as I like the characters, but this one? Yeah...
=== Positives ===
+ The premise is interesting: a young girl named Mira makes a promise about a 'boy' to find an asteroid together and name it Ao.
+ The production values are great: the character designs are detailed, the art is gorgeous, the animation is fluid and there aren't any choppy frames, the voice acting is decent and the OST, including the ending theme, Yozora, is soothing.
+ Mikage might be a contender for 'best girl' of the series; she's quirky and funny, and makes for fun, interesting watches. The other character, newspaper club member Eve-c…

In recent years, anime about cute girls doing cute things started putting more emphasis on "things". Such series have an educational aspect. Viewers look at cute, sympathetic characters with strong motivations to become better at their passions. But how can one believe in how passionate they are if there is little to no passion behind the story?
"Koisuru Asteroid" definitely had potential. Two girls meet again after briefly encountering each other as children and focus on their common goal: discovering an asteroid. Throw in some other cute characters, some funny scenes, some interesting info, maybe a little drama, and you get a decent story.
The first warning that the series won't be a satisfying experience is at the very beginning: the club members of the show spend their time on both a…

This anime is so cute! I might be biased mainly because I adore cutesy animes, am interested in space exploration, and am a lesbian. But, I think it's a great production nonetheless. It's perfect if you're ever bored during summer or if you don't know what to watch. The plot itself isn't hard to follow and is more of a leisurely watch, the art style is perfect for the overall vibe, the characters are very adorable and have admirable personalities, and it overall just made me very happy to watch. I think if you're looking for light, comedic, and uplifting animes, you'd most certainly enjoy this one. Thank you for the outstanding show!

"Asteroid in love" is one of those "Cute girls doing cute things" anime. That already gives out the most important information about it - the plot is simple, the characters are pretty with not big but different personalities (so everyone can find their favourite).
I enjoy these kinds of anime, I love how relaxing it was and it taught me a bit about earth science(s) as well. I am a big fan of stars, so to see these two worlds (cute girls and astronomy) connected in one show really snatched my attention.
And I was not disappointed.
The art style was pretty, the characters were interesting, the music was perfect (I never skipped the opening which is rare for me), and it seemed so calming and simple... I think any fan of anime with an all female cast should give this a go.

This is a review of the anime and manga series, Koisuru Asteroid (KoiAsu). I will principally focus on the anime, and do note that there will be spoilers for this series.
Now what is KoiAsu about? To put it simply, it covers the Earth Sciences club, and the members as they carry out activities about geology and astronomy. We have Morino (Monroe-senpai), Mira, and Ao on the astronomy team, and Inose and Sakura on the geology team, with Chikage and Nanami (interested in meteorology) joining the team later on in the anime. For both Mira and Ao, they have a common purpose for joining this club: Years ago, when both were young, they had made a promise to each other to find an asteroid and name it Ao, as a result of Mira sharing a name with the variable star Mira (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…

I have no idea why the rating on this show is this low. It's a wholesome show about friends learning about the stars and earth together! And it's not even poorly done at all! I think slice of life gets a bad rep just because it isn't action packed, and lower stakes and less dramatic slice of life like non non biyori, is the order a rabbit, yuru yuri, and yuru camp gets an even worse rep because people think it's boring. And if you are a shounen fanboy, you probably won't like this, but I really enjoyed it. For some reason, I just can't resist moe slice of life, even if it's bad (this show is not bad though).
This show was fun, sometimes funny, wholesome, heartwarming, educational, relaxing, and just a genuinely good time. The music, visuals, story and characters aren't the best you'll eve…

I'm in love with astronomy, so I searched for an anime that will focus on something like that and I found out about this anime. To begin with, I cannot say I didn't enjoy the anime but there's a lot of things lacking. As astronomy lover, I expected a lot of nice landscapes and space scenes, something like Kimi no Na wa, but that was not the case with this anime.
The plot is interesting, but the story development is obviously not that good. I would say that sound was okay, whereas I was not in love with the art style. I don't know, but the art style was very strange to me, they had dark purple strokes and some colors were uncommon(I believe I am not used to different stroke colors because black ones are mostly used).
In conclusion, I would recommend this anime, especially to Astronomy l…

Honestly I don't know why this has such a low rating, was one of the main reason I never watched it. But after watching it, I don't think it deserves the score it has. I actually enjoyed this anime a lot more then what I expected and I say give it a chance too.
I don't love space as much as they do or geology as much as they do, but I do love star gazing. So to me, that was enough for me to give this a chance. Yes it's a cute girls doing cute stuff kind of anime and the plot itself isn't anything special. But I believe the characters are great enough that you want to keep watching because you just want to cheer them on in their adventure.
Sometimes even if our dreams seem like they are out of reach for today, let's pursue them to tomorrow and never stop chasing your dream.

Asteroid in Love: Wait, it’s About Space, Right?
Hello, everyone. I’ve developed a good few interests over the years, various hobbies that I enjoy spending my time with. One of which, I’m doing right now. I think they’re a very important part of life, and I’m sure most of you would agree with that. A lucky few may even turn these passions into careers or turn them into something more viable in their everyday life, but for many, that won’t happen. However, they are still incredibly rewarding experiences and life would certainly be far worse without them. I was never a very passionate person when I was younger. I didn’t have all that much I liked. I was stuck in my own incredibly small world and never tried to get out of it, partly because I didn’t know how but I also just didn’t want to…

This anime had me sceptical at fist it had a low rating but the animation style looked really good and the comedy right up my ally.
This anime had a very good start having an interesting twist instantly hooking me. After that, I can agree that the pacing is a little over the place much different to a lot of other "slice of life" anime not giving a proper "A day in a life" sections ("a day in a life" referring to a section that is the main character average day.), as well as the sense of time, is a bit off. Other than that the whole anime is amazing the art is beautiful, the information on astronomy and archology is very interesting, the characters are all cute and cool and play normal anime tropes well, the comedy is really funny (At lest for me.) and the over arching story is a roller-c…

i can only guess this scores so low because a lot of people who watched and ranked this, are those who don't usually watch and read CGDCT titles. to me, it has been one of the best within the genre from the past 5 years, so it pains me to see an anime i love receive so much hate.
if you like cute girls doing cute things, but with girls who have an actual goal in mind instead of girls who are just living their daily school lives without clear solid goals, this is the perfect anime for you. i'm not saying there's anything wrong with stuff like A-Channel, GochiUsa, etc.

Koisuru Asteroid Is a great show and if you like slice of life, it would be a good fit. It’s one the of the shows that you don’t need to be interested in the subject but you can still enjoy it.
Story10/10
The story was what made me watch it in the first place,It was pretty interesting.
It’s about a girl who once meets a boy while out camping and the boy talks about asteroid and found out her name is a asteroids name but there was no asteroid with the boys name so she decided to find a new asteroid and name it after him then a few years later they meet again and she found out that boy was a girl and stilled continued to find a new asteroid.

This was between a 5 and a 6, but I gave it a 6 because I felt like the message was strong enough to warrant a 6 on my rating scale. Minor spoilers.
6 - I liked it. Didn't regret watching, but probably wouldn't watch a 2nd time if nostalgia bias didn't exist. Probably had a good message or a guilty pleasure.
This anime is your run-of-the-mill CGDCD type of anime, but this group of friends is legitimately genuine. I believe that makes this stand out. They look generic, and are color coded by their hair. I really couldn't tell them apart since I didn't pay attention that much to names, and what not. However, what stood out to me is the fact that they all have something they're reaching for. Even though they are members of the Earth Science Club which is a mixture of geology and astronomy (…

Before I start, I'd like to note that according to my My Anime List account, this is the 375th anime I've watched/completed. Man, time sure does go by fast, doesn't it?
Shows about cute girls doing cute things have been done to death at this point, with many of them being rather poor in quality and don't try to really stand out in any way. But in recent years, some studios have actually been making an effort to put out genuinely good CGDCT shows such as A Place Further Than The Universe, Natsuiro Kiseki, Non Non Biyori, Kemono Friends, and Laid Back Camp. Koisuru Asteroid, or Asteroid In Love, is another one of the good ones, though it may not seem that way right off. The show itself is about girls in an astronomy/geology club that got merged, and two of them, Mira and Ao, want to discove…

This is an SoL with romance elements, but not a great one. The episodes feel a bit weirdly paced, where a lot happens but you don't feel that it does.
Contrasting this to Houkago Saikoro Club from last season, we see the core field that the girls are interested in being portrayed far worse in this show. HSC made me interested in board games and I actually liked the games, even though I had no prior interest in them Here, even though I like astronomy, I could never connect.
Same with the characters. Miki and Midori had some depth and you could relate with them pursuing their goals and developing. Ao and Mira are basically flat and already developed, which doesn't allow you to connect with them. The other characters like Suzu and Sakura are good, though.
That ends the comparison. TL;DR, Hou…

The show telling me how cute girls doing their cute thing. Its funny, how two different club become one. Like sky and the earth? A big challenge there, but they manage to put all the problem together so fast. How cute with what they are doing, i can't stop smiling, i can't stop tearing my eyes. Maybe i dont have any interest about the concept to the astronomical thing, or even the geology one. However, with just looking to their activity, i just feel refreshed, a nostalgic memories to bring back by this show. I had the same feeling to Suzu-chan at some scene though their activity together. Yet, repetitive moment got blown up sometimes, another cute character show on to fill the blank. A bit sad with Mira and Ao can not find their dreams. But no problem girls, just enjoy your time at your b…

"Everyone has their own things they love and their own special talents, their own unique world. If you are by yourself you only have your own world, but when it connects together, the possibilities spread out endlessly before you. Just like the vast, unknown cosmos."
Koisuru Asteroid, the one and only thing in this spring that makes me think that "is this really not yuri with this kind of disclossure?" but glad that it wasn't in the end(YUP! DOGA KOBO STRIKES AGAIN!). The story follows at Kinohata Mira that made some promise to Manaka Ao that bounds them until they met again at highschool. Not your usual slice of life thing, Mira got Ao pumped up by having the same huge dream that is to find an unknown asteroid and name it by Ao (blue in English), Because there was asteroid named after he…

A back-to-basics Doga Kobo cute-girls-doing-cute-things anime has the pleasure to show us the wonders of the universe, precisely asteroids, along with a healthy small dose of the wonders of geology, and in classical Doga Kobo, a small quantity of yuri subtext (English name is Asteroid in Love). Your astrological chart says that you'll read spoilers, so you're warned.
When a little girl called Mira Konohata meets little boy Ao Manaka, they promised each other to discover a new asteroid when older. In the present, teenage Mira joints the Astronomy Club, where she meets teenage Ao, who is actually a girl, and along with Mai Inose, Mikage Sakurai and Mari Morino, they start their adventures exploring the wonders of the Earth and the Universe.
Story (9/10):
Mira Konohata is a passionate girl…

Koisuru Asteroid, or Asteroid in Love, nowhere else are you going to find a group of girls that into asteroids than this show.
I like to spoil things, so what does that make me? A spoiler, hehe.
I'm going to start off by saying this is not the best series I have watched during this season, to be fair it's actually the lowest-scoring one out the 5 I've watched, but I must say it's the most consistent and it even surprised me a tee bit. While this show does not have the most incredible scores, I did enjoy my watch the whole way through. To sum the whole show in a sentence, it probably be that it does not impress but yet does not disappoint. Truth be told there was not much to disappoint anyway hence the show's consistency and it's slight improvements. So if you had not known it's about a…
