If you love ramen, this anime is for those who want to not only have eating partners in the form of girls consuming the dish, but discover variations of the dish they didn’t know was possible.
For viewing I’d say you’re likely to skip to the part where they begging to eat ramen than watching the episodes as a whole. The story is mainly a girl named Koizumi who enjoys and/or loves eating ramen, but she’s not the main character despite the title having her name on the title. The main character is a stalker simp girl who tries to get close to Koizumi which is very bothersome. Other characters include a girl who loves spicy food and a student representative who looks pretty without her glasses on, the two becoming sort of friends with Koizumi, moreso than the simping girl and join her for ram…

Listen, I’m a casual anime watcher and a food video lover. I watched Food Wars for the cooking, and gave zero shits about the plot and fanservice for the most part. If that’s the way you treat food anime, this show is for you. It’s a comfort show of mine, something I put on in the background.
I’d say mild spoilers but like, tbh it’s girls eating ramen, there’s not really anything to spoil.
Pros:
- The ramen. There’s so much of it as expected, but they also delve into the places of origin and preparation methods, nothings off the table, they try chocolate ramen at one point. Each character has their own preference and that also influences the story slightly. The stills of the ramen are beautiful too.
Mixed:
- The characters. None of the 4 main girls go through much development nor do you…

This is an anime about-yup. Koizumi san who loves ramen. There really isn’t all that much storyline to it, but the reason why I have quite a low opinion on it is because none of the characters really have a set “personality”. They just don’t seem “real” to me because all the characters are a stereotypical character you see in anime and manga. Except this anime follows every concept to the T and it doesn’t leave any room for curiosity. Also like I mentioned before, THERE IS NO STORYLINE. If you like slice of life that doesn’t progress an inch, maybe you’ll like this one.

I didn't expect that I had finished the anime recommended by a blog. At first, I was looking for some anime to recommend when I liked the slice-of-life and cooking genres, Ramen Daizuki also appeared on the list and became the first after I got addicted to Shouma in Food Wars!
I enjoy every episode presented by Ramen Daizuki, the story is very light and seems boring maybe for some people of course, and for some reason that's actually what I'm looking for. I like any genre of anime, even if it's boring, I can enjoy it.
I also give 8/10 for Ramen Daizuki overall because I can enjoy it hahaha. However, there is one interesting thing I want to ask the creators of Ramen Daizuki anime, why do I think that Yuu is a lesbian? I'm sorry about that because Yuu is sooo stands out, she's so obsessed…

Story 6/10
Yuu develops an unhealthy obsession with the beautiful, blonde Koizumi from the second she first claps eyes on her classmate, who is (1) not interested in being friends and (2) obsessed with Ramen. Yuu starts making excuses and following Koizumi as she goes around sampling ramen from various restaurants.
Art 8/10
They spent a ton of budget animating the ramen so it looks good, like some of the clear soups look like real life actual ramen soup, down to the droplets of oil. The meat and vegetables glisten seductively. And the noodles, they're various size / shapes and look curly and springy when being slurped. It's enough to make one drool and crave ramen. So needless to say the art of the food is 10/10 but the characters are just 6/10 so this averages out to 8/10.
Sound 6/10

How much ramen can one person eat?
You’ll definitely see this for yourself if you plan to watch this anime!
I've not been this hungry while binging a show since Shokugeki no Souma... The food is truly beautiful, both in description and in visuals. Each dish manages to be distinguishable from the others, plus you'll also learn a few things about it, which I always enjoy. Don't expect an amazing plot or incredible character development, just a very relaxing tour of Japan through ramen than will sooth your anxiety and make your stomach rumble for its duration.
The art is pleasant and fitting, but not exceptional. That said, the weakest point of this anime are the characters. Above all, Yuu is a glorified stalker who doesn’t respect any boundaries, which really takes away from the relaxing a…

ra-ra-ra-ramen daisuki koizumi-san~~~
D*mn that sh*t is so catchy lmao
Also, Opening is banger
Other than that, well, this is some pretty average series which I would forget in like a month or so. Other than the ramen part, I'd actually forget that I even watch this.
The yuri here is... bad. It's annoying almost.
For the characters, Yuu's main trait is being a lesbo, Misa is the typical girl that you'd either love or hate (I certainly liked her), Jun is just a bookworm who has backgrounds left unexplained, and lastly, Koizumi isn't even a character. She's a walking plot-device made to introduce Ramen to others. She's thinning the line between cardboard and Mary sue. All of them are one-dimensional characters which... is disappointing.
Overall it's the most 5/10 anime that I've watched.

Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san. An anime oft passively deduced to be no more than a show of seasonal exploitation, a show with no original themes to be seen, and no content worth praise. After all, how could a show about nothing more than eating ramen noodles be anything worth mentioning? Well, to those of you who have not the eye to discern how revolutionary this show is, I shall help to guide you to a conclusion of better knowledge.
The most common critique I have seen for this show is that it has no substance. It is simply one episode after another displaying women eating ramen noodles in a provocative manner, as to bait the lowest of men into viewing it. And yet, this very simplistic principal is just what makes the show so great. As Leonardo da Vinci once said: “Simplicity is the ultimat…

TL;DR of this review -- this is more like a 12 episode commercial of really oddly flavored ramen.
If that's all you needed to know and you're ready to check another title's reviews, give a helpful.
Long version --
The art is standard at best, nothing to praise or cry about here. Art: 4
Sound: 4 -- also nothing stands out, and mostly typical stuff This show has effectively no character development, just personalities on a screen. They exist to eat ramen ala Shokugeki style, sometimes even having their yumgasms, but less ecchi. Characters: 2
What story? There is a girl named Koizumi. She likes to eat ramen. The end. Story: 1
I'm actually not sure why this isn't just a 30 second commercial/30 minute documentary about ramen...Anyway, the overall is: 2
I honestly wanted to give this a hi…

We may sometimes have trouble deciding what to eat, but this is not a problem for our dear Koizumi-san, all she wants to taste is ramen. The story is not really elaborated, as its just the daily life of Koizumi and her classmates as she teaches them about the world of ramen. Characters are great, all the girls are really cute, the only thing that bothered me a bit, was Yuu, basically yelling the whole anime and saying "Koizumi-saaan!!"
No complaints with the art, neither with the sound, the enjoyment of this anime is mainly because of our cute Koizumi-san and her explanations of all the different kinds of ramen that can be found in Japan depending on the region, and not only that, but the types of ramen restaurants you can find in each region, there is one for every need, and situation,…

If there's one thing you need to know before watching this anime it's that you need AT LEAST 12 cups of instant ramen (one for each episode) so that you don't dehydrate from all the saliva that will be pouring out of your mouth from the delectable images that will be displayed on screen. The ramen looks pretty nice too.
I first heard of this anime from watching a short YouTube video called "Cutest German Loli You'll Ever See Kawaii Overload". Don't ask. But it mentioned the anime it came from in the beginning and I was intrigued. I mean, who wouldn't love an anime about cute girls eating ramen? AND BOY WAS THIS ANIME SOMETHING ELSE.
Story 10: Hojou-chan: "Guys, what if we make an anime with a cute protagonist". Takade-san: "Sounds SUPER ORIGINAL, what's the plot?". Hojou-chan: "...". The…

I Love ramen, ramen is life, I can't live without ramen. I love Japanese food.
The only reason I rate it 8 is because of ramen and the slurping and how detailed the food are, it makes me hungry for ramen. I do like the animation a lot. The opening song is pretty catchy and I like it.
The only problem is, it's not enough. I know the anime and manga explores different types of ramen but, it could've been better with better character chemistry and development. Nonetheless it's fun to watch and make sure you don't watch this with an empty stomach otherwise you'll start licking the monitor.

While a lot of people really hate on this show, I don't think it's that bad – you just have to take into consideration what it sets out to do. This is a show about ramen, with the story and characters being more or less a vessel to talking about various types of ramen, showing off real life restaurant chains, noodle brands etc., etc. If you want to know more about ramen, learn about and try out new variants of it, this is a show for you. If you expect anything more... Probably not.
This being said, the slice-of-life content is not horrible. Visual quality, character design, music and voice acting are all at a very decent level. The story is silly and purely episodic and some people can be irritated with certain elements of it (mainly the protagonist, Yuu, being absolutely obsessed with Ko…

Ramen is universal.....apparently
Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san has a very loose plot, that of Koizumi-san voiced by Ayana Taketatsu eating ramen and giving the flavors of that ramen in question with Yuu Oosawa voiced by Ayane Sakura along with her friends Jun Takahashi voiced by Yumi Hara and Misa Nakamura voiced by Akari Kito following Koizumi's trips of ramen. Plot-wise, the structure of most episodes follows the setup LA just talked about repeated twice or thrice depending on the episode. The plot doesn't have any overarching elements to it besides Yuu trying to constantly befriend Koizumi but we get to know the characters and especially the mysterious Koizumi in the process.
On speaking of which, character-wise, the characters have some of the typical archetypes of the typical "cute gir…

You can think of this anime as some sort of ramen restaurant ad. Some of the places used in the anime (that I know of) are big hot spots for tourists/foodies.
You also get to learn ALOT about ramen- types of ramen, toppings, different types of restaurants to eat at, different locations in Japan to get ramen, etc.
Warning - Watching this anime makes you HUNGRY. My brother and I even went to get cup ramen after the convenience store ramen episode to eat.
Other than that, there is no outstanding characters or even story.
One of the MCs, Yuu, is obsessed over Koizumi, most annoying character to exist. Half of her lines are "Koizumi-san" and just downright clingy. This character is the "male replacement" in this all female anime.
Koizumi- She dont give an "f" about anything other than r…

TL;DR: This is the type of show where you should stop picking out the bad parts of it objectively and just enjoy the show as a comforting show as a break from our tiring daily lives.
I'm still bad on writing reviews, so I will focus on parts that I can express my thoughts on it well
Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san is an anime about a girl who loves ramen, her eating ramen from all sorts of places, mostly around Japan and people she met while doing it(not necessarily becoming really good friends). The theme itself is already pretty interesting, attracting people who likes ramen or wants to know about ramen, or maybe even people who just wants to watch a show focusing on food.
Story-7/10
as you would expect from an anime about food, there isn't much of a story going on other than developments o…

Decades from now, as I lay, slowly freezing from the nigh-inevitable nuclear winter a jingle shall come across my mind.
"Du du du du ramen, daisuki, Koizumi-san."
I shall laugh, wondering where on Earth I heard such a tune, for the anime itself will be long forgotten into a haze of ramen and slurping noises.
TLDR: (Because Myanimelist won't let me write a shorter review)
The most memorable thing about Miss Koizumi Loves Ramen Noodles is that mid-scene jingle, which is kinda fun to hum while making ramen noodles. That is to say, I probably won't remember anything about it a year from now. Edit: It's been about two years and my prediction was spot on.

[No Ramen, No Life]
Ramen. A dish that combines a broth with noodles and various toppings to form a savory meal. It’s one of my favorite dishes, and if given the chance, I would like to eat the dishes that Koizumi ate. The show succeeds by informing and providing the viewers an ample amount of information regarding ramen. However, the story is very repetitive and gets old quickly, and the characters are uninteresting, including one annoyance.
STORY:
Story summary: Koizumi is a beautiful and mysterious high school student, who enjoys eating ramen. Everyday, she hunts for the best ramen restaurants and eats at it.
The story is simple and repetitive. Each episode contains two to three segments about the various types of ramen that Koizumi consumes. These segment, while somewhat connected…

This was a really good anime to fill the break between Shokugeki no Souma seasons but not something I will ever feel the need to rewatch. For me, this anime can be broken down into two parts, one of which is really high and the other is really low.
The really high was the ramen. The exploration of ramen in this show was just fantastic and I really learned a lot. It became a ritual at our house to make ramen and watch a couple episodes and apply what we'd learned last time. When the show is covering ramen, I'd rate it a 9 or 10.
The really low was the character relationships. Yuu was just plain creepy. I was pretty sure for a while that this was going to take a twist and become a horror anime. Sadly, it did not. I wonder if the main character is a girl in the hopes that her stalker behavi…

Ms. Koizumi Loves Ramen Noodles is comprised of two plots. The first is the standard and incredibly boring group of high school girl anime stereotypes going on adventures tangentially related to the main character, Koizumi, featuring one of my least favorite tropes of all time: a girl with a creepy obsession who can't take "no" for an answer and is one genre-shift away from going full yandere. This part of the series of abysmally boring and I often find myself getting distracted when it's the focus.
The reason I kept watching Ms. Koizumi Loves Ramen Noodles despite its dreary side characters is Koizumi herself and her adventures - Koizumi, like me, just wants to talk about ramen and be left alone by her fellow students. Each episode's other half features her going to various ramen joints,…
