******AISHITERUZE BABY****** OVERALL – 7.5
NOTE – Facts I accepted while watching this anime.
1) This anime is a LOW BUDGET anime and hence the QUALITY will be LOW.
2) This anime as a CHILD whose parents are not with her and will be taken CARE by a high school BOY(OUT of many people) due to some circumstances so that story can proceed.
3) This anime as a CHILD as one of the MAIN CHARACTER and hence there will be many SCENES where it will SAD which is later turned into a HAPPY ending
Buy ACCEPTING this facts I could ENJOY a LTTLE more of this anime.
STORY- 2 out of 2.5
It had extraordinary story (means DIFFERNT than the usual ones) and was developed NICELY most of the time by introducing new characters and situations but it did not give ENOUGH TIME for Koroko because it was more focused on…

Aishiteruze Baby is an anime that I feel has gone almost unnoticed in the 11 years that it's been around. I've never actually met a single person who's seen this little shoujo. I'd only found out about it a year ago when I wanted to find a shoujo anime that had a male protagonist, and this title showed up, along with Kure-Nai and Natsume Yuujinchou. Since then, I'd held off on the show and hadn't watched it until just a few days ago. What can I say about this series? Well in short, if you haven't seen this anime, I highly recommend that you do so when you have the time. Because it is something that I think any anime fan can really get attached to.
STORY: 10/10
If you've ever heard of an anime called Usagi Drop, then you should know what this story is about. It's essentially the same setup…

Aishiteruze Baby was one bumpy ride just as the summary suggests. Kippei was a horrible playboy who doesn't show any signs of character change until he falls in love with Kokoro (The person not a heart..)
Yuzuyu is a sad, cute kindergartener and it was pretty interesting to see how Kippei gets along with her. Overall, it took a lot of patience and time to finish this anime. If you like babies, throw up, playboys, kisses, and bentoes, then this anime is for you!

Story & Characters:
Aishiteruze Baby focuses on life of Kippei, a outgoing and carefree highschool kid, who suddenly has to become a guardian to the child of his recently widowed aunt. The story reflects marvelously on the struggles of raising somebody elses child and the problems that arise as Kippei tries to live his life while raising Yuzuyu. I liked how the characters developed as the story moved forward and how the characters background reflected upon their actions and personalities. Aishiteruze Baby is deep down a very peaceful anime albeit it had parts where I might have shed few very very manly tears.
Art & Sound:
By now the art is obviously relatively old already but it's still made well enough to still be relevant. Barely any scenes really stood out negatively and the art sty…

Kippei is a highschool playboy and slacker. All he ever does is skip class and play around with girls in his school. Everything changes for him though when his aunt disappears and leaves his 5-year old cousin Yuzuyu in his family's care. His family leaves him with the responsibility of caring for her (possibly with the hopes that he will mature) while they wait for her mother to return.
Story: 9/10
For a anime that from first glance appears to be for young audiences, this anime has a surprising amount of mature themes such as mental illness, abuse and neglect. The writers did a brilliant job including both serious and funny/playful elements into each episode; neither one taking away from the other but balancing quite well. As a viewer, I found the story to be very realistic and easy to r…

Aishiteruze Baby or "I love you, baby" suffers from a title that makes people believe it's a lolicon, when in fact it's a very hearfelt but very neglected shojo anime. Really, I feel this series is greatly undervalued, and it does not deserve it.
Enter Katakura Kippei, playboy absolute, who now has to take care of his five year old cousin, Yuzuyu. The first episodes are a bit slow and tiring, but I'm so glad I did not drop this anime,for I was in for a big surprise. What really drives this series is the characters. Kippei, despite his slacker manner and childishness, is actually great with Yuzuyu and he develops into a soft spirited, caring guy. Yuzuyu is adorable, and even quiet girl Kokoro improved on further aquaintance.
The situations and backstory of the characters are sad but very…

Five year old Yuzuyu is abandoned by her mother and left with her Aunt and her family. For some reason that wasn't really explained other than no one else wanted the responsibility Yuzuyu's 17 year old cousin, Kippei, was given the task of looking after Yuzuyu.
This is an odd choice as to be honest Kippei is a moron. He is lazy and is content to pass through life relying on his good looks and flirting with girls. Yet Kippei and Yuzuyu hit it off straight away and Kippei actually begins to enjoy the responsibility of looking after Yuzuyu. If you were to describe Kippei's and Yuzuyu's relationship you would describe it as warm and fuzzy.
Once you begin to enjoy their relationship and you begin to settle down to watching Kippei develop as person and realise he is not as popular with the gir…

Like everyone else watching this anime, i was really not sure what to expect going in, a highschool playboy raising a child, what but problems could follow. but from the first episode i was hooked. I found myself wanting to watch the next episode just because the main characters were nice and genuine, very calming to watch, more relatable then your standard character. it is a wonderful story, the progression was nice and the fact that while there is minor drama but its not so extreme that you want to bang your head on the wall because someone's an idiot like others have in them. it never stretched an arc watering down the story and stayed true to the main story. Each episode left you smiling. The ending while maybe leaving a couple things undone left, was very satisfying and nice to see, i…

Your standard shojo, Aishiteruze Baby is about Kippei, a teenage ladies man, who comes home one day to find that he is now in charge of taking care of his kid cousin Yuuzyu. This anime is packed to the brim with “Aww” moments. So if you like cute shows definantly check it out but beware; this anime takes several extremely dark turns. The romance scenes are cute despite the love interest being pretty cold to Kippei (but with his reputation that doesn’t surprise me). The art was mediocre at best and the music was your normal shojo stuff. I am not a shojo fan. Therefore, i did not enjoy this shojo. It was alright i guess... just not my cup of tea.

Cuteeeeeeeeeeee series as you may infer, no doubt of that. however i'm gonna try to do a more objective review putting aside the sweetness of yuzuyu (even though its really hard *__*)
First of all, i enjoyed the show its pretty low paced and cute. there is some drama but nothing in comparison to other series. you dont feel the urge to marathon the series but still you want to keep watching. overall good serie to bring up little smiles.
story: 8/10
good enough score for a slice of life anime. the story is just the life of this little kid and a teenager. also the anime doesn't completely end so be prepared to end up with some unresolved questions.
Beware that the synopsis may be misleading. "Katakura Kippei is in every way a high school playboy. Spending his days flirting with any female…

Well when I saw the display picture and the english name "I love you baby" I thought that this is going to be kinda cheesy and i was planning to drop it after first episode, but when I tried and started watching this I immediately fell in love with it (this is base on my opinion so please don't take it too seriously). for me, the characters were well drawn and the plot was quite normal but amazingly presented. There are so many "aww" and "heart-beating" moments. It is just so adorable how the main character highschool boy take cares of his five years old cousin and girlfriend.
The art may not be the very best but it is watchable and can make you feel like they are real people.
I highly recommend this anime because for "me" this is really worth watching.

After watching this anime I decided to write my very first review, if my review is a bit off or you have any comments (bad and good) please let me know
To start off i will have to say that this is a very heartwarming anime to watch because it is just so easy to watch.
Let’s start with the story. The story of the Aishiteruze Baby really lets you really understand the feeling and the mind of a 5 year old girl. The story is so well written that there are times in the anime when i wonder how the story will move on from that point. The anime really play it slow with the story which i think is good since it is supposed to be a light- romantic comedy. The story mainly revolves around the relationship of 3 people; Kippei, Yuzuyu and Kokoro in their struggle with life. That s all i can say withou…

Story: The story for this is fairly original. The first half is extremely extremely extremely boring but after about episode 15 the story takes a drastic turn. It gets really good! What's very interesting about the storyline is that there are a bunch of subplots that don't move the main storyline along. They are basically filler subplots. But the subplots are the best part of the story! They're sooo much better than the main plot. Without the subplots this show would be super boring. The reason that the story is only getting a 6/10 is because the ending is pretty disappointing. The main conflict barely gets a resolution. It has a cliffhanger ending, but it's a small cliffhanger.
Art: This probably has some of the worst art that I have ever seen. It looks as if they tried to make the big e…

No action... No blood... No ecchi or fanservice... No politics... No mystery... How could this anime expect to get anywhere? What could it possibly offer? Mark it as a huge failure and move on right?
If anyone reading this were to do that you would be making a huge mistake. All this anime needs is the smile of a heartbroken child to wholly capture you and take you on an amazing journey. I don't care how bloody or epic you like your average anime to be, if you are honest to yourself, and at least partially human, you will be touched by Aishiteruze Baby. Give it a chance.

From the first episode it is clear exactly how the story is meant to play out, and true to your hopes, it does. A sweet and touching story that grabs a hold of your heartstrings from the first time you see Yuz…

Never judge a book by its cover or an anime by the first few minutes of watching it. I almost gave this series a miss as I started watching it on a whim. Soon, I badly wanted to know the ending. A great heartwarming series.
Plot wise, it follows the life of the lazy male protagonist, Kippei, who slowly grows up when he's saddled with the care of his abandoned 5-year old cousin, Yuzuyu. The series follows the heartwarming interactions of Kippei and Yuzuyu while they live their lives together. It also manages to explore the various social problems faced by families nowadays, which I find was nicely done as it does not leave me feeling too depressed.
The artwork of most of the characters aren't really to my liking but Yuzuyu would give Chiyo (Azumanga Daioh) a run for her money in terms of…

This is a beautiful story, a touching and heartfelt shoujo drama. Its about a popular high-school playboy who finds himself the surrogate parent of his 5-year-old niece, Yuzuyu. The emotions invoked in this anime are on par with emotions I felt when I first watched Fruits basket except this is more slice-of-life than fantasy feel. The art is pretty good and the relationship between Kippei and his niece is extremely sweet. Yuzuyu herself is so cute you want hug her and never let go. It's a series that is really cute without being sugary sweet. I would recommend it any age group or gender.

Kippei, an highschool goofy kid who spends most time slacking out and flirting with girls suddenly is entrusted with a 5 year old kid to take care of. This setup evolves into an incredibly heart warming story to cherish and rejoice, dealing with everyday problems of raising a child and struggling with his own carelessness and ineptitude Kippey becomes attached to yuzuyu quickly and tries his best to make her happy. Dealing with a child everyday brings many worries and consumes most of his time but also makes him grow into a mature responsible person.
The innocence of a child and how they perceive the daily events creates an amazing charisma towards this relation, dramatic scenes further enhances the feelings creating an intricate empathy towards the situation and drawing the viewer into…

I am very glad that it’s not Aishiteruze BABY (and when I say baby, I mean underage people). I thought it was going to be an extreme, lolicon anime. Seeing how Kippei was so nervous about Yuzuyu sleeping in his bed at the first episode made me a bit nervous.
Turns out it was a cutesy story about a reformed playboy (well, sort of) becoming the surrogate mother for his adorable, 5 year old cousin. It’s not as easy as it seems - Kippei had to deal with a psychotic secret admirer, Yuzuyu’s countless longings for her mother, a physically beaten child, etc.Plus there was also a love story in the forms, and thank God, it’s not one between Kippei and Yuzuyu. It’s with one of the popular girls in Kippei’s school, Kokoro.
I got a feeling that this anime is very…

Dissapointed that nobody has written a review on such a wonderful heart warming anime so I guess I'll do the honors.
I'll first do recommendation for those who are too busy to read all of a review. I recommend this anime for everyone who wants to watch something touching. Not really a romance, its more of a slice of life anime that should be able to find itself on everybody's list. Its an anime without grand events or drastic plot turns, its just goodness that keeps on going.
Story:10/10!
The story starts right away and right away and right away you get caught by the cuteness of the plot(and the cuteness of yuzuyu chan). Like many other anime's, every episode of this anime will feature a story that will throw the main character, Kippie, into a situation where he will have to expand himse…
