Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It

Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It

Introduction

It is widely believed that science can provide rational explanations for the countless phenomena of our universe. However, there are many aspects of our existence that science has not yet found a solution to and cannot decipher with numbers. The most notorious of these is the concept of love. While it may seem impossible to apply scientific theory to such an intricate and complex emotion, a daring pair of quick-witted Saitama University scientists aim to take on the challenge. One day the bold and beautiful Ayame Himuro outwardly declares that she is in love with Shinya Yukimura, her fellow logical and level-headed scientist. Acknowledging his own lack of experience with romance, Yukimura questions what factors constitute love in the first place and whether he is in love with Himuro or not. Both clueless in the dealings of love, the pair begin to conduct detailed experiments on one another to test the human characteristics that indicate love and discern whether they demonstrate these traits toward each other. As Himuro and Yukimura begin their intimate analysis, can the two scientists successfully apply scientific theory, with the help of their friends, to quantify the feelings they express for one another?

WONDERFUL! ☆ This show is very endearing in nature, as the mains attempt to navigate their feelings for each other by using quantifiable evidence to prove their big and confusing emotions. Something so unconventional yet so fun to see as we watch them pick their brains in the most annoyingly quirky, nerdiest way possible. This is extremely charming and relatable. The educational aspects of the show are helpful if youre thirsty for knowledge. ☆ This is the perfect depiction of slow-burn rage bait with a unique comedic twist that is often frustrating in the most engaging way possible. ☆ The friendship the supporting char. have with the mains is captivating as they all try to come together and help them with their comically absurd experiments and in times when the mains seek personal advic…

At first I watched this thinking, “Why would anyone try to prove love with data?” But it turned out to be pretty fun. What makes it different is that it’s not about will-they-won’t-they drama. They already clearly like each other. The problem is they refuse to accept it without proof. Everything has to be measured. There has to be numbers. Graphs. Repeatable results. Honestly, it feels unnecessarily complicated. Like they’re overthinking something that could be simple. But at the same time… I kind of get it. Embarrassment, nervousness, jealousy — it all feels safer when it’s wrapped in data. It’s no longer vulnerability, it’s just “research results.” What stood out to me is that even though the scientific explanations are real and based on actual theories, it still feels incomplete. Lov…

The anime totally nails what you’d expect from the synopsis, with plenty of laughs, excitement, and that cozy, feel-good vibe that romcoms usually have. While a deep romance history wasn’t expected, the anime does a great job of bringing a heartwarming sense of joy. What really sets it apart is its storyline featuring “science types,” which is super fresh and original. It doesn’t get a perfect 10 because it’s not a masterpiece, but it scores high for keeping its promises from the get-go. I was really hoping to see more of the second “couple” story that was unfolding on the second plane. But what can we expect from 12 episodes? If you’re not looking for an anime that’ll make you think and change your mind, but you just want something to relax with, this is the one for you. BONUS if you…

Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It Is a painfully mediocre cringe fest. The whole premise of the anime is that two Science obsessed friends try and prove their love for each other through science. Sounds simple enough in concept but throughout the whole anime it just feels executed horribly. I mean they did deliver on the science experiments but just in an extremely cringey and hard to watch. The main characters of the show are two buffoons who have this whole "I'm better than you" Act throughout the show and just act all high and mighty. Alot of the time they will spit out some random scientific terms that most likely you have never heard in your life to sound smart and some how it proves their "Love" for each other. I cannot stress how unlikeable the characters in this anime…

What a unique plot for a romance anime. But I'll be honest, this is nothing that I expected for a romance anime. Everything that happens in this anime is just generally typical. Everything else was nothing special. But the science and the plot of the anime are the only one that makes it different than other romance anime. If I had to see it from a Romance perspective, I don't like it. The comedy was good, the science combined with romance was good, but the romance wasn't. I must say it's too generic and I can see the same romance plot on every. single. romance. anime. Such a disappointment for a really good idea for a romance anime. Another plus point goes to the visuals. I really like the art style, and how the anime presented the graphics to the viewer. Though, I don't wanna say this…

As a romance anime fan, I was sold on the premise alone - who wouldn't want to watch a show about scientists trying to prove love through data? Shinya and Ayame's partnership is pure magic. Their banter is witty, their experiments are hilarious, and their chemistry is undeniable. I loved how the show pokes fun at traditional rom-com tropes while still delivering a heartwarming love story. The animation is bright and cheerful, the soundtrack is infectious, and the supporting cast is equally lovable. I appreciated how the characters' quirks and flaws make them relatable and human. What truly sets this show apart is its lighthearted approach to love. It's not sappy or melodramatic; instead, it's a delightful exploration of love's intricacies. I'm still grinning thinking about the character…

I am going to review both series in this review, because I can't really separate them. There are no spoilers, but... well, you'll see. This anime follows two university students who are "science-types". If I had to describe this anime in one sentence, it would be (and I said this out loud at least once while watching): "Man, for two people who are so smart, they're idiots!" Very first episode, the woman confesses to the man. Instead of taking her at face value and, well, sampling the fruits of her love, they instead embark on a two season cringe-fest where they try to determine scientifically whether they're in love or not, creating and testing hypotheses, and all the things you'd expect "science-types" to do. In the process, we, the viewer, are taught things about science and the scienti…

This show Is more of a comedy than a romance Though it is okay Show consists of the main characters trying to see if they’re in love with each other when obviously they are them they are oblivious and want to see science can prove it hence the title The cast and the characters are okay, but that’s as far as it goes just okay Do you recommend if you watch this to It’s probably better as a background show whilst you’re doing other stuff that being said it can be enjoyed if you are into the sciences Understand the science work, but if you’re looking for your generic romcom, this probably won’t be the one for you but then again it could Conclusion, 6 out of 10 It was fine

ENG: I have a serious problem with this anime, and they are all things that bother me but not enough to not watch it T he problem is that I don't think anyone would enjoy this anime The jokes try to be too clever and then explain it to you with a bear that I dislike horribly The plot does not advance at all until the last episodes (the plot is only activated in episode 9) and all this is thanks to the inclusion of a new character who, if he were not there, would have given the series a terrible rating, the reason why I have a 6 it is thanks to her And really, what I love most about the anime is the ending, which consists of the last 4 episodes where everything moves at a fast pace and there is a lot of love drama, being the best decision of the series so far writing this review I would…

I love this. A scientific look at love, I've been looking for this for a VERY long time. I don't really understand love so tis was an interesting look into a rational perspecitve on the case. In my research I've come to a similar resolution. Romance is calculable to a certain point where after that it's completely random. You can't determine who a certain person will fall for. No matter how much you calculate, currently there's no concrete theory on who a certain person will like. This anime pushed me forward in my exploration of love/attraction. Sure it's easy to see what attracts a certain person to another physically, but after that it's open to the individual. Maybe there's a correlation between attraction and love though I don't see it yet byt I'll look into it more. Currently thi…

“Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It” is what happens when You want to piss off a researcher with OCD. We follow a pair of characters (and that’s a generous assessment), that have only one trait that has been pumped up to something that pretends to be a personality, on their pathetic journey to prove that they fall in love with each other, using scientific-ish methods… even though there is a lot of research on the subject already and they could just use that. But I suppose that would make too much sense. Along for the ride are their coworkers / friends that are forced to help them with their goal. And yes… they are just as flat as the main duo. Speaking of which. Our main coterie is: Shinya Yukimura - The main, Sheldon Cooper type (yeah… sorry for referencing “The Big Bang Theor…

Rikei ga Koi had a generous debut and with all episodes completed, i can speak abit about this Wonderfull anime. so let's talk a little about this anime that can have fun that is only looking for a romantic comedy. ___It can be really fun_.__ img520(https://i.postimg.cc/Fsqd36Xk/redline.gif) One of the great things that draws attention in Rikei ga Koi is its proposal that reminds a little of Kaguya-sama. You have a couple of scientists who spend their time trying to prove what they feel through certain experiments and tests, but the similarities end there, and the anime manages to have a good personality of its own. At this point, it is worth mentioning that the work is not afraid to use science, where mathematical formulas, graphs, tables, logical schemes and everything else that is par…

Overall, if this show looks interesting or funny at all to you, I would recommend trying it out. It does a great job of centering its comedic strength while getting me psyched to go read research papers. ------------------------------------------------- This show had me laughing my ass off within two minutes of it starting. So many great bits are scattered throughout. The direction really does them justice: consistently picking a tasteful amount of subtlety, but leveraging the audio and visual elements to add to a scene. In particular, the use of on-screen information and equations which is not redundant with dialogue is very effective - so many rom-coms feel cheap and disposable because they constantly insult the viewer's intelligence, dithering away the minutes. The finale of the serie…

tl;dr: A really well made rom-com anime with very unique romance and humor. This anime starts off with a woman named Himuro telling Yukimura that she thinks she’s in love with him. Yukimura responds by asking on what basis Himuro came to this conclusion, and demands evidence that proves that she’s in love with him. And because both of them are students pursuing master’s degrees in data science with incredibly exaggerated personalities, rather than Himuro slapping Yukimura, instead they both decide to pursue research on establishing an evidence based means of determining whether one is in love. This sounds ridiculous, and it completely is. Love is something that is incredibly difficult to quantify. And that’s why it’s so amusing trying to see the main couple in this anime try so hard. The…

Good anime but not good enough,im gonna give it 8,13 for it; Story; 8,07 Telling a couple lovebirds who are too obsessed with science so they can't define love. Telling the story of the couple defining love through science. To be honest, from the concept it can be said that it's ridiculous because basically things related to feelings are difficult to define let alone prove. Through this anime In terms of the nature of romance, which is the main genre, it is no different from other romance anime, which is the hallmark of this anime, only a few times they slip scientific facts which I personally don't like because I'm an social person rather than science. Characterization; 8,35 Honestly, what's good about the characterizations in this anime are the supporting characters because they are st…

I saw this advertised a lot hence why I finally decided to give it a go, and I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I did. It’s slow-paced, and though the science talk was a little much for me at times it was still a lot of fun. There is a fair amount of fan service, especially centred around Ayame, but even though she is sexualised it is easy to work around that and have fun with the overall plot/premise. You don’t have to take it too seriously as it is very light-hearted, and what little drama there was is easily resolved. Overall it was a little silly, a tad funny, but overall just good fun. If you need to switch off and have a vague interest in science/the scientific method, then I would definitely recommend it.

Science Fell In Love, So I Tried to Prove it was definitely not what I expected. The premise is simple: two graduate students (Ayame and Yukimura) are in love with each other, but due to their scientific minds, find that illogical. They decide to conduct experiments to see if their love is able to be proven. This concept is laughable, but the fact the two play it serious is what makes the jokes land. They get their fellow classmates to conduct the experiments, acting as the straight man. Kanade especially stands out as she is the most normal one who acts as a counter to Ayame and Yukimura's antics. Each episodes provides a new way to test their love, calculating every single part to an extreme degree. They act very much like characters from Big Bang Theory, though this provides more enjoym…

This is probably one of the FUNNIEST romantic comedy anime I've watched in a long time! I have to start off with how pretty all the characters are and the way they each have quirks that make them hilarious and relatable to watch. The story was reasonably light, but the science jargon was a little excessive at times, so it took away from enjoying the romantic moments between Himuro and Yukimura. Nevertheless, I laughed till my sides hurt, sometimes pausing to take a moment to catch my breath, which is pretty damn rare! It definitely gets a little embarrassing sometimes, so you might find yourself looking away at the cringe, but it's not all that bad. I did not like the OP and skipped through the bear scenes (they explain 'scientific terms') because they were just stupid. I think the endin…

This is my very first review on MAL despite having been on an anime binging spree for the past few months. I will not be writing a long review here because there's not much to say about RikeKoi. RikeKoi is definitely not for everyone, and especially not for those who are looking for deep relationship issues or philosophical questions about life and romance. Don't expect an Oregairu or even a Kaguya-sama: Love is War clone. As the title suggests, what makes RikeKoi enjoyable for someone who recently graduated from university is the over-the-top absurdity of using science, math and empiricism to explain and prove the phenomenon of love between a couple. Every time you expect a normal conversation between a man and a woman when talking about love and romance, prepare to have your expectati…
