Love Lab is a very fun watch that doesn't require a lot of attention investment. Each of the main characters' strengths and weaknesses really shine and drive the show's comedy and entertainment. Each of the Love Lab experiments the main cast partakes in gives the laughs of a good comedy skit, but also the precious moments of them becoming better friends. If you like slapstick humor that slaps every time with a dose of heartwarming moments of friends being friends, this is a good show to watch.
Also, I need to warn you; this show will jump scare you 1 time with blackface. It will be the most out of left-field thing... and the funniest scene in the entire series. You have been warned.

Love Lab is a surprisingly decent comedy that tries to incorporate melodrama when it really doesn't need to. In fact, it only muddies the waters and it makes you wonder what the identity of the show is going for.
Love Lab is built on a comedic premise about girls dreaming about their ideal guy and fantasizing about them in unrealistic scenarios: the childish fantasies fuel the show and characters, and it's what makes the comedy charming. Yet, on the other hand, you have a decent amount of conflict and drama in a comedically themed show.
I never really expected this show to be realistic or anything beyond comedic since it's not really what it was aiming for in the first few episodes, and it doesn't fit the theme of the show at all. It makes sense, considering that despite the girls in the s…

My biggest pet peeve with comedy anime, which is especially prevalent in moe comedy anime it seems, is when emotional tension is undermined by poorly placed gags or jokes. Sure, I'm watching the show because it's funny, but if a show was ONLY funny and nothing else it wouldn't be interesting. This is something that love lab does NOT DO. They actually handle the more dramatic scenes really well. They still interject comedy in them here and there, but it's well-placed. This is not the funniest show I've ever seen, though it did make me laugh a decent amount. What I love about this show is the combination of comedy and drama, which synthesize together to create the ultimate wholeome and heartwarming anime.
I was positively surprised by the amount of (or lack of I should say) romance in this…

Mostly a Cute Girls Doing Cute Things anime, but it had me laughing out loud and had me on the brink of tears.
Hilarious, brilliant OP and END songs, kinda tropy at times but I loved it.
For Shoujo ai fans, there isn't any but the friendships are really great to see develop and the girls have great chemistry. Top voice acting and brilliant music throughout.
If you're a fan of the CGDCT genre of anime watch it, only 13 episodes, every one of them is fantastic. Great to see how the girls take on the challenges and the way they go about it unexpected and a laugh every time.
I just love it, will probably re-watch next week.

Man, this is one of the best slice of life with little drama on it. The romance things isn't really that deep as I thought (its a light romance). Its not yuri, and not shoujo ai either.
I don't know why I really liked the anime, but one things that I feel the anime give an impact in the drama. The drama it just typical light drama you've seen in others Slice of life anime, but they really polished drama pretty well tbh.
The Characters is really loveable and cute, both girls and boy lmao.
The ost is decent, but I prefer the ending one, because Osu! lol.
well, in conclusion, this is really good anime, you guys better watch it

Will you help me create the perfect love situation???
Actually you have no choice but to help me
But with a twist..
we dont actually have any boys at our school and its strictly an all girls school
So the Story??
Well their isnt much of a story except that the girls try to create the perfect situation to ensure 100% romance! but fail miserably...
Actually the Yuri is more strong than the normal romance(which I LOVED!)
But half way through they actually start with the normal Romance which is Absolutely Hilarious(and i ship Maki x Yan!) The Art and Animation??
Loved it!
Sound??
Really liked the OP, its catchy and perfectly fits the anime theme
Liked the ED as well!
As for the OSTs....well I dont really remember them so i guess they didnt stand out much
Characters??
Ah yes, the characters…

It's stupid, but in a good way. Quirky and full of gags. Some references. Mostly episodic and plotless. But funny nonetheless. If you don't like the humor in the first couple episodes it's probably not for you. No need to write an extensive review. Just a light rom-com slice of life without much of the rom. Overall worth watching.
Plot is pretty basic to non-existant. Artwork is colorful and vibrant. Music is decent. Characters are not bland but not deep because it's a laid back rom-com. Only a slight bit of drama in the last couple of episodes but nothing too serious. Had to stretch review to meet minimum quota.

Love Lab was a fun romp through the lives of girls with little to no valid experience in love trying to secretly research and give advice to their fellow classmates. A bit of a different set up for how the characters come together makes the first half of this series a bit more interesting than your standard CGDCT club set up.
It's interesting and fun all the way through, and there was at least one moment where the plot (yes there's a plot) took a turn where I didn't expect it.
If you still don't have a reason to watch Love Lab based on premise alone, you should watch it for the animation. There are moments where I had actually had to pause and rewatch a simple action like a character shaking their head in anger when talking because of how fluid and genuinely high quality the animation cou…

An overall wholesome anime, in the same vein as K-On! and other slice of life animes.
The plot is something fresh and interesting, instead of doing something run-of-the-mill like a normal school club the writers came up with something unique. I give them points for originality.
The characters are generally well fleshed-out and interesting.
My biggest complaint would be that the drama arc between Riko and Maki is kind of lame, but i guess one could argue that it fits perfectly for teenage girl drama.
Art and sound is fine enough.
Not a bad anime, but also not exceptionally noteworthy in any category, in my opinion.

Despite the art to be mediocre, the sound design being cheesy, and the characters almost being generic, this anime gave me some laughs. What I adored most about this anime is how animated it really is. The animators of this show didn't hold back their creativity when making Love Lab. Hell the ending moved me because the animations made the characters become alive.
If I were to describe the characters, I would call them generic. However, it never bored me because Love Lab had clever skits and wonderful animations, it made the characters memorable. There were some episodes that were mediocre and some skits were very obnoxious since they were repeated till the very end.
The most enjoyable part of the show is the first episode. The animations on the episode were very on point, the two char…

When I watched “Love Lab” for the first time, I was amazed at how interesting this story was. The funny thing about the show was how well the characters were developed, mainly Sayori, Maki and Riko. Those characters shined in the first 7 episodes when they talked about how they go along with romance, while at the same time trying to make sure the girls-only school doesn’t know that much about it. Sayo is one of the cool characters that doesn’t have to be liked like Riko, or try hard to get love like Maki and Eno. However, she is a sort of a balance between these characters, as they sort of represent a battle between two worlds.
As for Eno and Suzu, the next 6 episodes dealt with their two different personalities; one wanting to be a leader while not really knowing how much to lead because…

I finish this series right before I start to write this review. To sum it up, I would say this daily-style anime exceeds my expectation. The main reason behind this statement is its story is much better than others’. Anyway, I recommend this anime to everyone who enjoys in this kind of anime, such as “Is the order a rabbit?”, “New Game”, and etc.
Many factors in Anime are satisfied by high quality.
Art, the overall quality of Art is stable. Many details are handled well. The quality can be compared with “New Game. “
Music plays an important role in a number of plots. It does its duty that is to bring the audiences into the show. Although, in my opinion, the opening and ending theme are not outstanding.
Characters, from my point of views, are build extraordinarily. Maybe the reason t…

If school life, plotless, "cute girls doing cute things" moeblob isn't your thing, you're in luck: this isn't any of that. Despite the schoolgirls being in school doing school-like things (like being on their absurdly powerful student council), this is not a 4-panel gag comic brought to life in a series of episodic moments. Rather, it's a coherent, consistent, and compelling story, told in thirteen chapters, each delivering the perfect mix of both comedy, and a touching story of the progression of an unlikely friendship between two very different girls, and the strange cast of characters that surround them.
And ultimately it is the characters that I always remember and go back to look at again and again, as they are so very interesting, charming, funny, and beautiful, in their own very f…

***Spoiler free review***
Love Lab is one of those many (and when I say many I really mean millions) cutesy girl anime that revolve around a school setting. Furthermore it takes place at an all girl’s high school where everyone is petrified to even be near a man thus bringing us to Love Lab quirky but somewhat plausible premise. It is a flawed show...but I still love it.
Story: 4/10
I found the premise of the show extremely superficial since I find it hardly believable that these girls would have almost no experience even being around boys. Basically these girls start up a “Love Lab” as a part of the student council. They would take questions on love (which they have no clue about) from students that asked and somehow answer them. This however was easy to look past (for me at least) sin…

Many times I've tried the crunchyroll random button, and the fourth time I got Love Lab, another comedy about a group of... amusing middle school girls. While YuruYuri is more of a slice of life show Love Lab is more of a raunchy comedy. I don't want to use a synopsis because of the spoiler but it is funny and worth the watch. And that's coming from someone who generally doesn't seek out shows like this. It’s hard to review a comedy because humor is subjective; just because I laughed throughout doesn’t mean everyone else will. Some may find Riko unlikable. some may find this wholly inappropriate behavior for middle school girls. Some may dismiss it as moe trash. I’d say those people are overthinking it with this series. It’s funny and raunchy without being pretentious and preachy.

Story: 4/10
There's not really much of a story, since this anime is more like a slice of life than anything. Yea, there's romance, but nothing really develops this season (assuming there's going to be a second) so there's not really any romantic scenes. That said, I wasn't really expecting there to be any amazing plot, so it's fine on my part.
Art: 7/10
Art styles are up to preference. I personally liked it, but it's not like top of the line art style with fancy colors, it's just a sort of standard girly and colorful art style like most animes with main girl casts are nowadays. A good art style, in my opinion, would be something like Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka ?
Sound: 9/10
Not exactly sure what's meant by this, but I guess all the voice actors fit well. All the characters had a differen…

This was a great show full of girl power and comedy. Maki's squealing always got me; so hilarious. The show is full of peculiar girls with great humor. If you like unconventional and funny then you should watch this. It was a breath of fresh air. Made me want to go bond with my gfs more. Enjoy the show! I know I did.

Love Lab
Art
I really liked the art of this show. It didn’t really impose on itself too much and even though they were in the same uniforms a lot of the time, the change in hairstyles for the main character was actually a nice touch. This comes into play in the story, but that’s beside the point. I felt that while there were a few things that I would have liked to see changed when they were introduced, they were actually things used by the story to get a laughable moment. This really was a pleasant show to look at and at no point did i feel like I would stop watching because of the art.
Sound/Music
The music in the show itself was sub-par. This is really where the show fell short for me. The music really wasn’t anything spectacular and I found myself being more interested in the story th…

So basically this anime is about girls trying to come up with techiques to fall in love. All the side girls believe the main girl's lie about being a romantic expert. She does feel bad about the lie though. What makes this anime funny is all the crazy and wacky stuff the girls do to try and get men. All the characters are funny and weird in their own way. Now this is labeled romance but it's more of a friendship anime and the topic is love. All the girls become close friends while pursuing love. This is more of a girly anime with not much ecchi at all. But the girls being naive about men and their ''innocent schoolgirl'' image are just too cute. The anime can be heart warming but its mostly good for laughs and cuteness. I say its great for girls but men can watch it too since it's damn fun…

This is a feel good anime and a good one at that. It starts out pretty dull and generic but then turns really emotionall and funny throughout the entire thing. The characters have flaws and can make misstakes and will do misstakes, this is something that i like and that Love Lab does extremly well. I would recommend this to anyone as it's extremly fun and weird but can still be emotionall when it needs to be. This quickly became one of my favorites. Some might not like the artstyle but this is something that you'll quickly look past if you start to watch it. If you like anime in generall this is a anime which you mustn't miss out on.
