I mean, I thought I was just getting into your average, fluffy rom-com, but NOPE. This anime sneaks up on you and punches you right in the feels. I swear, I was shipping Yuuki and Chisato so hard, but then Michiru comes along and... ugh, my heart can't even. And don't even get me started on the election arc - I was literally on the edge of my seat, screaming at the screen like it was a sports game or something. What I love most about this anime, though, is how it tackles real issues like student council politics, social pressures, and finding your own identity. It's not just some shallow high school romance; it's got depth, it's got heart, and it's got some amazing characters to boot. Also, can we talk about how adorable Ooe is?! I died.
I swear, my heart skipped a beat when Yuuki finall…

I don't really know what to feel about this one. It does try to differentiate itself from other romcoms through its premise and some out-of-left-field story arcs, but I think these attempts mostly distracts from its romcom roots, rather than accentuate or synergize with it, mostly because they feel too serious and dramatic in a nonsensical way. These elements would have a larger presence as the story goes on, and I can't help but be not as invested in the story when they take over almost completely.
I also found that the supposed main relationship (it's very obvious which one it is) is the least successful part of the story, and I would rather see many of the other characters' stories being given more screen time instead (Mifuyu-san especially comes to mind). One particular side story ar…

A show that really needed more episodes and less filler content, no qualms exactly about it however. The issue with Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate is that it tries to be romantic, when it can't be, needed a R rating to be a good anime, and it feels rushed and quite lacking in the main characters communication, more of a blockhead than many people that could possibly exist.
Not to mention this show feels like it is missing something to it that would make it actually really good, and that would be, better pacing and more character development, both are lacking quite much, inevitably ruining the feeling of the show. These issues are not even mentioning the mid tier ending that feels rushed, the episodes before it were great, the pacing near the end (2 episodes before the ending) is what the sho…

Koi to Senkyo to Chcolate (Koichoco) is a feel-good save-the-club tale couched in a school election drama that follows independent underdog candidate Yuuki Oojima as he attempts to ascend to school president in order to stop the disbandment of the Food Research Club and other clubs like it. If you enjoy a good underdog story and a tale of a group of friends growing together to beat the odds, you'll enjoy Koichoco.
One of the things Koichoco does well is that it gets the main story rolling quickly and stays focused on that story early on without distracting or interrupting itself with too many subplots. This does eventually happen, to some extent, but it's rather minimal compared to other visual novel works. The nice thing is that we quickly get a lay of the land in the first episode witho…

This show follows the typical thread of visual novel anime of going off the rails pretty quickly. It adds in a flair of conspiracy and danger that defines the source material it comes from. If you're not down for that, I can see why you wouldn't like this show. But having watched a number of visual novel anime, I have to say, this one was much better than it had any right being.
The character set is pretty par for the course, but the characters aren't unlikeable. Just nothing special. They work well together, but they're not memorable. They do perform well with the premise, which is not one that is commonly the centerpiece of a show's story.
The biggest issue is that the show relies on too many tropes to stand out from the crowd, as is the norm for harem anime. This show didn't explore…

I'm someone that takes ranks as a reference while choosing what to watch. To me, anything in top 1000 have a really high chance and above top 1000, it depends on the show.
At the time of me writing this, the show is ranked around 3600. If you ask me, that's sad. If you're a careful viewer, you may notice problems with the show. But I'm a relaxed viewer, meaning I can also see flaws of a show but I can overlook them if I can still enjoy the show. I sometimes don't even notice the flaws.
So this show is something I had no problems with. It's relaxed to me. It doesn't look like a show you want to expect too much. If you can enjoy, you enjoy. So I didn't ask too many questions as I watched this. I just wanted to watch it.
So if you're like me and you don't look for masterpieces everywhere a…

Although the first scene of Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate makes it look like a serious anime, it quickly reveals to be nothing more than your typical garbage anime adaptation of a visual novel that is most likely also garbage. Generic protagonist with a generic character design who somehow manages to make all of the girls horny for him, stereotypical female characters with childish personalities, dumb excuses for fan-service, failed attempts at comedy… And despite that, I’m still going to write a review to explain in detail why this anime is terrible.
--- The premise
The protagonist and his friends are all members of the “food research club”, a useless club where they do nothing but eat food at the expense of their high school’s budget. Enters a girl whom I will refer to as “serious girl”,…

*Note: This is my first review, so it may not be as in-depth as other reviews. Also, this is a spoiler-free review.
I originally found this anime from a clip on YouTube. I thought it looked interesting, so I decided to pick it up. With a rating of 7.0, I was not expecting much. At first glance, I thought it was just another silly romantic comedy series. On the contrary, however, the series is actually much deeper than it appears.
Story: 8/10
In my opinion, the story in Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate was pretty good. As stated in the title, the major aspects of the story include love, chocolate, and elections. Even though these aspects are not really correlated with each other, the series manages to tie them together to form an interesting story. Personally, I found the conflict intriguing. A…

Great potential, wasted. I think this is the first anime that gave me headaches. I am a bit conflicted as to whether this is a nice or a bad anime. I guess it depends on your past experience. Or maybe its a marketing thing: a wrong ending to make us check the original source. If you wanna know what this anime is about, read the synopsis. I wont copy/paste it just to make the review feel bigger.
Story: __. Well, this is the part that troubles me. I wont be able to go into specifics because spoilers. I loved this anime since first episode. Lots of funny scenes. But also, here is where the "weird" part starts. As the story unfolds, you start to like this anime more and more. And at the same time you'll start feeling angry. You can't fully enjoy it because of the periodic brakes. Or at least…

Warning! Regerdless of what the first third of the pilot episode is going to make you think or feel, this anime is still a done to death goofball school comedy and absolutely nothing else. That first scene is just a troll to bait the unsuspected into watching a shitty show. And if you don’t believe me, just look who made it.
THE STAFF
- Animation and directing is done by a branch of Studio AIC, specialized in making nothing but trolling fan service shows like this one. Their previous projects include My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute (Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai) and We Don’t Have Many Friends (Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai) which fooled thousands of superficial viewers to believe they were a lot more than just idealized otaku culture pattering for worthless lumps of fle…

OK. After playing through the visual novel I decided to watch the anime.
And I have to say. I was severely disappointed.
If you like the characters after the first episode I'd HIGHLY recommend playing the VN instead.
If you don't want to or don't have the time to go through all the routes, but want to experience the story that is in this anime I'd recommend to at least play through Chisato's, Satsuki's, and Michiru's routes
(those are the top 3 routes in my opinion anyway (not in that order)) .
The characters and just the plot itself is much better developed, built up, and explained.
The anime is pretty much just following a checklist of events and CG-s with not enough buildup and little to no emotional impact.
It's still not a bad anime don't get me wrong. but instead of it being 7-…

This anime is by no means a godsend, but, it ain't a waste of time. I'll give you the rundown.
It has so much going on all at once, in fact, I would argue too much going on. They rushed a 24-26 ep anime into 12 episodes. All the romance and drama elements were done extremely well, but they didn't have enough time to formulate. Also, they created too many "potential" love interests. It was like they wanted it to have the sense of a harem but it was clearly not happening. There were too many tragic backstories in too short a period of time. I'll reiterate, the characters are well designed and their stories worth telling but the stories are all chucked in the middle of the anime and are half-forgotten by the time the main story is put into action. This could've been much better if given more…

What I thought I was watching was mediocre rom com where a guy does something to save their club and his friends along with it... But then.. I'll just tell you in the review so here we go..
Story 8/10: So this 'rom com, slice of life' series ended up turning into an Illuminati series of some sort to the end. I got very confused at some points in the series.. My main questions were like "Why are they going through all this just so save a club where you taste food for fun? Why would anyone vote for these guys? When did this become so confusing? It's looking like a james bond movie now? Where the hell did this person come from and who is he/she?" Towards the end was like playing a game which you've never played before and no one's explained the rules.. You never know what's going to happen.…

I'm a sucker for romantic comedies and after seeing how many users watched Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate I just had to watch it despite it's somewhat low rating. And to my surprise, I enjoyed this anime. It's based on a visual novel so I knew that with 12 episodes this anime would definitely feel very fast paced and I was right. The main flaw of this anime is just the fact that many details and relationships are really fast forwarded. We get introduced to many different characters and the anime spends maybe 10 minutes on them and we get introduced to another character.
Story: The story is about a school based on a democratic system that students are the ones who make the important decisions regarding budget, security, and etc. It's basically a tiny America within a school. And to go off on t…

Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate is a harem anime, happens in a crazy big school and could be better.
Good...
Some good characters, fun in most part of time.
But...
Weak Plot , dramatic and unnecessary situations.
And...
The author tries to make the whole situation bigger than that really is, by placing exaggerated (and unnecessary) dramatic factors. The dramatic situations simply do not work in most part of time. To be honest, works for me only once. Some characters are complexed without a good motives, or a really small motives, that are not enough to justify all this drama. If were just one more harem ecchi romance, would be better. Some good situations and characters were wasted.
Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate isn't terrible. In the end, its funnny.

still missing it alot the story was 10/10 art 10/10 characters 10/10 romance is 10/10 in my opinion for me better than sakurasou or

Let me start off with stating that i will be making this review as spoiler free as possible, i will be reviewing this in way for someone to read and get an idea whether they wish to watch the show or not.
note: This anime is based on a game(Dating simulator)
First off the story: In the very beginning we have a very basic structure, normal students that are spurred into action do to a shocking event that will "rock their world" or change something important to their life. As stated in the synopsis this event is the closing or threat of closing of their club named the "Food research club". The Club amounts to a group of friends eating snacks of any kind for free at the schools expense. Logically it makes sense for it to be closed down. But for the sake of friendship and bonds and the like…

Lets get right into it
[Adaptation]
Being someone who played the original VN, i could say that this is a not bad adaptation. Okay yeah they didn't follow everything that happened in the VN and changed some of the events. But if they did follow exactly the same, i think it would hinder the pacing. So i understand why they feel the need to change some aspects. Too bad i didn't finish the game until the end considering i lost the game data and save file. Oh well i got pretty far though at least until just before the final election, or around 10 hours of gameplay, in the anime it's equivalent to around episode 9/10.
Ok so maybe the story is kinda hard to catch to those who didn't play the game considering so many details they left out. But then there's a reason to play the game yourselves. P…

"i won't dissapear"
I've seen quitte some slice of life/comedy/romance series but i never expected i would enjoy this one so much! Koi to Senky To chocolate really suprised me in a good way!
Story(8): At first glace the story might seem kind of plain (one of the reasons why i waited so long with watching this series) but right after the first episode it took my interest, which doesn't happen often...
Personally i think the story was really original!
eventhough this serie might seem kind of plain it has it's own way of doing things different than other slice of life anime's which enjoys me. Art(7): Nothing special, but enjoyable to watch.
Sound(7): Sound is good, personally really liked the ED and the insert song in ep 11 if i am correct.
Characters(8): This anime has a really div…
