The Good:
-------------
* Decent Characterization
* Okay plot
The Bad:
--------------
* Many times I felt the animation was washed out looking. It really took away from the settings and what the story was trying to convey. * Lack of creativity with different characters. While many of the characters are different from one another I did find myself wondering why so many were so *alike* in drawing. A lot of senpai's were just bigger versions of the younger people they were mentoring.
* Subplots that never go anywhere with the main characters. If a story is presented you expect the anime to follow the story. Not necessarily the case with this anime. There will be times where the main characters show or think something but then it's never fleshed out. You're expected to just accept it and…

At first glance you may think that Tokimeki Memorial Only Love is your typical harem. And I'm here to tell you it's so much more than that. Have you ever heard of a harem where the anime's most attractive ladies fall for the most uninteresting male lead? UNHEARD of. On top of which, the protagonist happens to be the nicest, most compassionate character, and is always willing to help out. Again, unheard of.
In a world where we have anime powerful enough to make us cry of laugh our hearts out, we have anime even more successful with our emotions. Tokimeki Memorial offers expensive humor with its funny vacuum monster and an advice giving chick. If that's not comedy gold, I don't know what is. But don't forget, there are those sweet moments in the anime where you consider crying your heart o…

Ill admit, it is lacking a little in character development here and there, and in addition it may have a lacking plot. However, this anime really does end quite well, and it is one of the only animes I was wondering if I can rate over a 10, such as maybe a 12/10.
I cannot completely describe what aspect of this redeems itself to deserve the score, however when you watch it, I think that the combination of elements will speak for itself.
Therefore I would recommend this highly.
Some points I can complement (in specific):
The theme song and music was very good. Clear crisp tones and crescendos as well as appropriate music for certain events made it all in all a well coordinated, enjoyable experience.
The artwork in some locations was lacking, but on the whole this was some of the best ar…

This is the second best anime ever made.
I never thought that this would happen, I really didn't, but I actually found a harem that turned out to be the best anime (TV) that I have ever seen. There are two main factors that contributed to this, one is the fact that the producers have found perfect harmony between storyboard and screenplay, it was simply beautiful. Secondly was the main character. He wasn't stereotypical at all, which is a first when it comes to harem. Usually harem main protagonists are guys with no redeeming traits nor any extraordinary attributes. Here we have a different type of main protagonist, here we have a guy who's honest, smart and he can run really, really fast. He has to run often though, because that mischiveous student council pres. is one sneaky fox!

Story:
(I refuse to use the word "Harem", as it sounds like some fuzzy little creature that shits in your backyard.)
The story of Tokimeki Memorial ~Only Love~ was like eating a sweet, chocolate covered apple. Then, it turns out the apple was fake while only the sweetness and chocolate were real. While it is weak, however, that does not make it a bad one. It's just so simple and insubstantial that it's about as memorable as shagging a girl after you've *almost* had to much too drink. You're sure it was a fun and happy experience, but it's nothing you'd ever want to touch again. The review value is little, especially after you've seen the ending that makes you want to gag. However, the story wasn't that bad, as I've said before, it just wasn't memorable. It was just the generic guy moves i…

Tokimeki Memorial ~Only Love~. If you read the title, it sort of appears to be some sort of 'only love' series with nothing but love and romance.
It however is far from 'only' being a love, love, love and romance series. It's way more than that. Throughout the review I'll explain the 'why' to you; as well as other dislikes and likes about this Anime so you can watch or not watch this Anime with a determined heart.
I started Tokimeki Memorial ~Only Love~ with no particular expectations; I was open minded and neutral. The first episodes seemed to be fairly interesting; as it had a lot of things I liked about it. It was animated nicely; had comedy that made me laugh and a bunch of interesting characters.
I swiftly changed to the second episode after the fist episode finished; and after th…

Characters:
o Aoba, Riku- The main character who just transferred to the new school because of his father's work. o Amamiya, Sayuri- A second year student. The most popular girl in their school. An almost perfect portrait. Good grades, modest looking and auras. She has everything you would look for in a girl.

o Hiyokokkoko-A weird chick who has the strength of a muscle man... (…

There are 3 main aspects that make a high-school harem love comedy work. 1 is pretty girls, the second is chracter drama and the third is comedic moments. Whereas Tokimeki Memorial hosts the first two, it is severely let down by the comedy.
The attempted comedy in this show is very over the top and stupid, and while this may work for some, it fails to hit my funny-bone on more than a few occasions. Support characters, such as Aoba's friends are full of idiocy, yet lacking in any real substantial humour. The sports societies and their presidents are one off lame jokes, and by far the worst is the chicken, Hiyoko, who, despite attempts to become the supporting entertainment that Da Capo's Utamaru brings us, fails to be comedic on any level.
That said, its nice that the development between…

Tokimeki Memorial is a pretty good anime, but it can have a few parts where you you feel that its been used a few times too many.
Story: Good story, it'll keep you interested while bringing some laughs. There are some parts though like I said before that are overused.
Art: Nothing really caught my eye, nothing was bad.
Sound: The sounds was pretty good, I liked the opening song a lot.
Character: There's a wide range of strange and funny characters, sometimes I feel there are a bit too many but in the end they contribute to the comedy.
Enjoyment: This was a pretty good show, the comedy was usually pretty good, often going for physical humor, no not ecchi, instead of catchy lines.
Overall: Good anime that I feel is worth watching, I didn't love the ending, in fact I hated it quite a bi…

For those of you who like humor, pretty girls romancing over a guy, and interesting episodes; this is one that I would recommend.
Story:
Ah the various goals of these romantic comedies. Is it for the guy to get the girl(s) or for them to graduate and have life lessons, etc... It is a harem comedy, so the guy has to choose between a few beautiful girls. It is a high school set, so you move through the school season.
For me personally, the Journey is entertaining. The humor stands out. For example, they have a little chick (baby chicken) that is one of the characters, and acts like a mentor. It also has the ability to kick ass. For the most part the story is realistic; but they have a little bit of fun and can throw in ghosts and goddesses in select episodes.
While this may be in the Ha…
