Hatsukoi Limited follows the adventures of various middle and high school students dabbling into their first romances. Theres definitely things I think this does well, however most of this anime didn't hit for me.
What I Liked
----------------
The plot was very straightforward, I liked a few of the characters and there were a bunch of concepts that I thought were very cool. namely the last two episodes, which I thought did something unique and cool.
What I did not like
-----------------------
While some characters were cool, some just didn't hit for me. This episode has a LOT of characters, especially for only a 12-episode anime. Normally, each episode follows a specific couple, but 25 minutes isn't enough time to let this brew. Oftentimes, couples are only developed in one episode, but…

Hatsukoi Limited – Romantic Hidden Gem
I really love the concept of Hatsukoi Limited. It beautifully explores the different sides of each character while still keeping everything meaningfully connected. Every story feels real and heartfelt, showing the complexity and charm of young love.
The story is warm, charm, and unique, the style feels like a nostalgic theme for me, it makes me feel alive in the story, especially the epilogue of the show, that is very special for me, it is cleared all the questionable things in the story and make it great to know.
To be honest, this anime has one of the most beautiful and satisfying endings I’ve ever seen, it left me smiling and completely fulfilled. Even when I’m not in the mood, watching it still makes me feel warm and calm. Truly an underrated…

5/10 Averages
For those avoiding spoilers: The pairings in this show are absolutely terrible. I didn’t like them at all. That said, I did enjoy the premise of this massive romance hexagon where everything is supposed to connect by the end, if that’s what actually happened, which it didn’t. What I did appreciate is how the male characters are somewhat realistic, they’re flawed, relatively plain, and even kind of ugly. One of them is a huge pervert, borderline sexual assaulter, which honestly made him unbearable to watch. But let’s dive deeper:
Spoilers ahead.
Let’s start with the main couple. We get an open ending, which already pissed me off. We don’t know which of the brothers she chooses, even though it’s obvious she was really in love with the younger one. The older brother was a dec…

Hatsukoi Limited starts off with a showcase of gross fan service given the characters ages & a weird age gap sequence. The spotlight for the first episode is on (in my opinion) the worst girl in the main cast which could turn off some folks or keep them around. That being said it also has a strong introduction to the main characters and their dynamics,, also given the age of the characters and the shows focus on first love, a lot of the characters behave realistic but a few are questionable.
I found that it starts to fall off or become noticeably repetitive around episode 3/4 with love triangle drama, brocon/siscon connections and lack of focus on a few characters who later get one shot episodes that come out of nowhere linking to the intertwined romances.
Overall what kept me invested un…

Has very strong first 2 episodes, but goes downhill afterwards.
It starts by introducing the relationship mentioned in the synopsis, which threatens to equally likely fall into either the "Gentle Giant + Loli" trope you may have seen in other shows if you are a romcom fan or some stalker horror story. It quickly grows into a triangle in the very first episode, and there is sort of a resolution at least about the fear aspect that's simultaneously a bit cliched and with an interesting twist at the end.
In the second episode another relationship is tacked on to the chain and I'm almost sad that the focus is shifted away from what I thought was the main theme. The growing relationship network is perhaps a bit more boring as it now has two clear favorite sides and a doomed side between them,…

Hatsukoi Limited is a show wherein in they displayed the love life of different characters that are related to one another. there's no real focus but the story revolved around the group of girls and their siblings and colleagues. It was fun to watch from start to end, the story became more interesting towards the end. It showcased the reality of falling in love and the excitement as well as frustrations that comes with it.
I would say that this anime is on point, looking back at my past journeys, there were a couple to several times i have experienced such heart beating/aching events. I cant help but reminisce and laugh out loud as i watch the characters go thru this bitter sweet feeling called love.
Just like in the anime, in reality most often than not, its just not meant to be and tha…

Done watching HATSUKOI LIMITED and it was a blast that I couldn't stop until I finish it!!! The story is pretty interesting and full of comedy cliches which makes it fun to binge watch. It involves a mix of unrequited, mutual, friendship and family love of the characters... in short a complex love setting! xD HAHAHAHA!!! I really enjoy how each characters love story has a little bit of influence to one another till the end. It's one of those shows that leaves you smiling and begging for more episodes! A hidden gem and a must watch for romance anime lovers! The ending song is pretty catchy too!!! <3 9/10!

Cute story arcs though it feels like too many different narratives were attempted yet not fully explored. Happy endings for some though not for all. Nothing too incredibly sad or depressing. Good character development; some characters grow and change. Overall plot is not incredibly original, but that is not usually the reason one watches this genre. The only thing that caused my rating to be so low was the constant unnecessary fan-service. But that is just my personal tastes and I realize not a particularly popular one. If that really isn’t a problem for you then I would recommend this show. It’s an easy watch without much thought required.

I mean if there was one thing I learnt from myanimelist is to prepare yourself to see what the worst comments said. And frankly I have to agree with most that was said, a lot of these parings were bad or ridiculous, even when going in with the low expectations. And I'll start by explaining all the love parings this show has. Though I might end up spoiling who gets together I won't actually spoil too much of the show so you can enjoy it yourselves if you want to. Overall I find this show bad but there were some parts to it that made it worth watching. So this should actuality be a 4.6 show for me.

Hatsukoi Limited is a lesson on how to successfully tell multiple compelling stories in a short amount of time. You're not going to see anything you haven't seen done before but everything here is done well and given time to breathe.
Story - 8
Like I said above, you're not going to see anything you haven't seen before but it's all done well and with care. The story focuses on a collection of students ranging from 14-16 years of age and their first experiences with love amongst each other. Every main character (and there are a bunch of them) gets their story told and surprisingly it never feels rushed. Some characters have more interesting stories than others but they're all compelling for the most part. This is a bit of a slow build though in my opinion. I found the 2nd half to be a 9/1…

Come on, hatsukoi is a story about "puberty", a group of boys and girls discovering about love, I was not expecting much from the anime, in the end it's very simple, we have the types of "deres" and the boys who fall in love with them. I should praise a few things about anime, such as: Not all romance works, and not all feelings are mutual. The characters have their romantic interests, some a bit incestuous... Others hate, but in the end what matters is how they deal with it, and surprisingly it was "realistic". I loved the last episode mainly the part of the boys arriving at the beach, it was the best scene of the anime without shadow of doubts. (I apologize for my spelling mistakes)

Honestly, a lot of things that happened in this anime wound up annoying me. In the end, the only ships I wound up caring about were Dobashi and Terai, and Enomoto and Kusuda. The dynamic of Enomoto and Kusuda was nice and sent out a good message, plus Dobashi and Terai were just simple and straightforward, plus totally supportive of each other and communicated well.
The rest were just wtf to be honest. One that came close was Arihara and Yamamoto, but in the end I only cared about that one because Yamamoto is my preferred type of girl.
In the end, I'd give it a 5.5 to 6 at best. Maybe it's just me, not shitting on anyone else who enjoyed it, but It didn't work for me. It was something nice to pass the time, but nothing much more than that unfortunately. I did enjoy Enomoto and Kusuda's r…

THIS IS THE BEST TEEN ROMANCE ANIME OF ALL TIME or at least ONE OF THE BEST
The mere 7.4 rating on mal confuses the fuck out of me since this is nothing short of a 10/10. As it perfectly achieves what it set out to do, I think most of these negative reviews are based of people who just don't like romance in general. If the creator makes something that achieves entertainment in its own way, then it's a success. This is a must watch, and I'll tell you why. One of the most underrated and misjudged animes out there for sure.
Hatsukoi limited's story is pretty simple and straightforward, it primarily follows the lives of a group of teen girls from a middle school and how their "first love" I guess plays out, but the story also expands to the interactions between their fellows boys and other…

Hatsukoi Limited. Talks about young puppy love... Ahhhhhh <3. i totally remembered my youthful days.. oh those days... It reminds me of how good being young once...
You know when you see magic for the 1st time? And you get this amazing feeling after. Well that's how i felt from this anime, totally sparked some fire inside me. Love is also like magic, you're filled with mixed emotions but above it all the joy you feel after someone tells you i love you, it's totally heart warming. This is totally a hidden gem i am very glad i found it.
Art/animation is very very good!!!! I like the design on the female characters it's quite cute and lovely, i also like the design of the boys it really suits who they really are. I give it 10/10
The story is quite amazing too. Although it's not fixed on a…

"Are you in love right now?"
Well with this anime..it's more divisive than "in love" actually...
Hatsukoi Limited follows several unrequited relationships and each of the earlier episodes focuses on one set of relationships while developing the ones from the previous episode in tandem, which makes one elaborate love dodecahedron.
Well since this is a relationship-based romance naime, LA needs to start off with the characters themselves and their relationships. Let's start with Ayumi Arihara voiced by Mariya Ise, one of the genki ditz of her girl group who has a crush on Mamoru Zaitsu voiced by Miyu Irino but his older brother Misao voiced by Kenji Nomura also has a thing for Ayumi, she was probably LA favourite character in the anime mainly due to personality. Next we have Rika Dobashi…

Hatsukoi Limited is an interesting series depicting the first loves (Hatsukoi) of a group of middle school girls. It is essentially a relationship-based slice-of-life story. Though a show with many girls typically leads to a harem, this is definitely not so. Each of the girls has their own pick, and there are an equal numbers of supporting male characters.
What makes Hatsukoi unique is the sheer number of relationships between the characters. If you don't like keeping track of who likes who and who did what to who, then stay away from this. This is a really hard series to judge as I feel that capping the series at 12 episodes made the story progression rushed, especially at the end. Overal Hatsukoi was a fairly good watch, and the story is much improved from the author's previous work, Ic…

Well, i was excited when i started the anime.. and by the time it ended... I was like WTF is this??? all the pairs were wronk except aihara and zaitsu and yuuji and yamamoto... everything was going wrong... the sound was nothing good nothing bad.. just .. it was. and the story? it is divided in arcs so not much of a story in it.. art? the only proper art was Yamamoto's body and her curves... character? hey, if you look like a kappa, how can a beautiful girl like you?? it may be possible in animes but dude you can end up in jail at worst if you try to do something.... I want my 4 hours back.. excluding the 2 pairs i enjoyed watching- Yamamoto and Yuuji and Aihara and Zaitsu..

“All of us are in love. It hasnt all been smooth sailing. Mistakes may have been made. But the love we felt when we first met our sweethearts is certainly the most cherished thing. We will take those feelings one by one and carry them with us into our futures.”
There couldnt have been a better ending words to this anime.

Hatsukoi Limited. A hidden gem amongst all of the shows in its genre. This is one of those shows that I feel doesn't get as much recognition as it deserves.
Hatsukoi Limited, as you may be able to guess from its name, is a story about love. It's not just about love though, it's about many qualms an adolescent will face as they climb up the ladder to adulthood, their first love being one of the steps on the ladder. For many, we look to our first love fondly--those sweet elementary and junior high days spent with who we thought was "the one", and for others, we look at our first loves and remember the pain of rejection and heartbreak. Hatsukoi Limited capitalizes on each of these joys and flaws. A story about how ten teenager's lives change as love meddles in their affairs for the very fir…

Before you watch the anime, you can take my review and others as comparison to what you imagine.
"あなたはいま恋をしてますか？”
"Anata wa koi wo shitemasuka?"
"Are you in love right now?"
Maybe this question will be say numerously in this series. Your answer maybe various, but you will love this series if you search love genre anime.
Story: 9/10
I give 9 points, it has clear plot, you will not confused when watching this series. The story is quite complicated, one-sided love everywhere, well because of we cannot give spoiler here, you should watch it by yourself.
This series is adapted by a manga with the same title.
Art: 9/10
The characters are drawn smoothly, and beautiful. I love the most our princess-like-Kei Enomoto. lol
9 thumps for charactesr.
Sound: 8/10
