Later edit. Read the manga, it's 10/10. The anime doesn't do it justice
--------
If you don't know if you should watch this, I'll tell you the truth about this show. Or better said, these types of shows, as this isn't the only one.
Kodomo no Jikan is part of the types of shows I like to call "with a mask", or "plot gatekeepers". They start with a few episodes in which they throw controversial or taboo things in your face. They give you this false image, and if you crack, you stop watching and start complaining about a plot you don't even fully know.
After the "tourists" are gone, the show changes course and hits you with the real story which tries to be as heartbreaking and emotional as possible. The controversial things it threw in your face in the first episodes are just the end resu…

This anime is top notch and a must watch for every lolicon out there, a 100% guaranteed "UOOOH 😭" material that will most likely never be outmatched, since the anime industry seems to be playing safer and safer regarding ecchi and our beloved small 2d women, the lolis.
The story revolves around Kokonoe Rin, a precocious and flirtatious elementary school girl, and her interactions with her new teacher, Daisuke Aoki. Rin's playful attempts to seduce her teacher are a central theme, presented with a blend of innocence and provocative allure that makes her character utterly irresistible. A girl liking her teacher is peak anime moe and her mischievous nature, combined with her appearance of blonde long hair and devilish smile are way too captivating. Rin's character is a perfect blend of cute…

I can understand most people's problem with this show it is very questionable and when I was watching and reading the manga I felt a little disgusted. I find it crazy how they sexualize a 9year girl and how they try to make it hot when she does adult things (sexual) but to be completely honest I enjoyed the show none the less if you try to ignore the adult themes you would realize that this show has good writing and good written characters.you can even see the relationship between the 9year old girl and her teacher blossom in short you just have to be a little open minded and and smart enough to understand this amazing show 8/10

I wish I could say I never watched this. There were moments I awkwardly chuckled when the show was almost funny or so painfully depraved that I had to laugh.
A person I was interested in wanted to share their favorite anime with me and I wish I just said no to this one. What an uncomfortable experience. I can't think of who the target audience for this would be other than people who like shock factor content or are into underage anime characters.
If you're into shock humor or hypersexualized underage characters I think you could find this anime enjoyable. Y'all are suspicious but you do you I guess.

I had to take many, many cold showers after watching this show and I am sure that I have been added to some sort of watch list for finishing it.
This show is just blatant pedophilia. I can understand a 600 year old vampire loli or something of the sort; hell, I can even understand full on loli hentai existing but this show crosses the line for me. What makes this show so unsettling is the rationalization of pedophilia. It portrays the situation Aoki-sensei finds himself in as out of his control and not a very bad thing, partially because of that. It also portrays third graders as being a bit too mature, as if they could handle, or even understand the sexual situations they're constantly remarking about and being in during the entirety of the show. I'm not sure if the author of the manga h…

Kodomo no Jikan is simply a masterpiece that's been stunted by western politics and moral dilemmas.
The story is amazing, the characters are iconic, everything about the series is 10/10.
The anime is cut drastically short compared to the very long running manga, which is disappointing. However the anime is still worth watching.
A tale of forbidden romance, innocent yet poisoned by taboo. A girl who suffers from the loss of her Mother, a man who discovers how blind love can truly be.
Sadly, all of this is overlooked. Simply scroll through other reviews and you'll see people ignoring all of these qualities because the romance of this anime offended them.
KNJ is a fine example of why freedom of artistic expression should be protected from moral supremacy and systematic censorship.

What is Kodomo no Jikan, really? Does it want to be a comedy following a school teacher's ridiculous misadventures? Does it want to be a pornographic show about children? Does it want to be the tragic tale of a poor schoolgirl's sad, lonely life so far?
Well, this show certainly doesn't know the answer!
I really mean it, I don't recommend this, even just because of the uproar surrounding it. It's confusing and really not worth the watch.
Positive aspects:
1. Some scenes can be rather funny, the teacher's reactions are priceless.
2. The show at least LOOKS good.
3. The characters are actually rather well done for something that looks from the outside like Jared Fogle's favorite porno.
Negative aspects:
1. It's basically softcore child porn.
2. The show doesn't seem to want to mak…

I'm going to start out by saying that this series does NOT deserve the bad name it has. Yes... it is incredibly controversial, yes... I am disgusted at how frustrated I am that there wasn't more fan service.
Lets go:
Story: 7. While the story is, on the surface, unique. It is just another slice of life with a very unique twist. There's a yandere and tsundere character. One guy becomes the object of affection, the whole "will they/won't they" thing is replaced by "should he/shouldn't he?"
I think the reason I gave this show a 7 for story instead of a higher score is because, while it does a good job of it, it doesn't really give you a sense of moral ambiguity which I was kind of looking for. The whole, it is wrong but should it be, but it is, but why, and why not. It doesn't do a very good…

Ok, so to begin, there's a few things I must mention.
First of all, probably like most of you, I began this series as a joke after seeing it on a list of most f***ed up anime, so I definitely wasn't expecting anything out of this.
Secondly, this show, like most other reviewers said, takes advantage of shock comedy. This is definitely not for everyone, and if you don't like that, or are very timid of lolis, then I'm afraid this show is not for you.
Now, let's begin the review.
At first glance, Kodomo no Jikan seems like a pedophile's anime; this is because of the ecchi scenes the kids cause, and how the teacher fails to react appropriately to these situations, making him appear like a lolicon. This is understandable, because the first 5 episodes are basically that, just 3rd graders teas…

I'll admit, when I first read what this show was about immediately started to underestimate it, belittle it, and was expected the worst show ever. However, when I completed it I found myself saying MORE MORE MORE! Absolutely amazing story although a bit cliche here and there. What I like most was that every time I thought something negative about the story or characters something intense or dramatic would happen that would shut me up lol. Now your main characters are three typical "moe" loli's "Big eyes" "big hair" etc who are supposed to be in grade school however when you watch it, their characteristics, personalities and behavior as show by the anime makes it a bit difficult to believe. Lastly, one (that teacher in every other anime) whose a loser and virgin and is easily annoyed etc. T…

Kodomo no Jikan, where do I begin.
After seeing this title pop up absolutely everywhere, outlining it's weird, disgusting, awkward and just extremely wrong storyline, i had to check it out. Rin Kokonoe is a 3rd grade elementary student, who forms mature (very mature) feelings for her 23 year old home room teacher, Sensei Aoki. The relationship between the two is quite hilarious, and just a little bit scary to put it lightly.
At first I was expecting this to be some weirdly perverted anime, made by a weird person, just for a lame excuse to create lolita porn type episodes, but boy was I wrong. The storyline is quite detailed, and very interesting. Kokonoe, without giving any spoilers, is lonely, and very misunderstood. She craves the attention of someone older, someone kind and someone wh…

I'll be honest here, Kodomo no Jikan is not the most normal animes I've ever seen but it is worthy of a review. Now this anime does takes sexual innuendo and pushes a lot and puts it onto a level of adult and child and even a little of incest in between which is where I found it to be somewhat weird.
Story 2/10
What can I say, this anime doesn't really have any major conflict or plot development. Its mostly just about the three girls: Kagami, Kokonoe and Usa harrassing there teacher Aoki ever day. When I said the sexual innuendo was present I meant it was coming from the children not the adult in question which just makes it even weirder than it already is.
Art 7/10
It was good and very realistic indeed. It wasn't too heavy and it usually fit itself into every situation. Can't really say…

One of the things that can ultimately impede a show's commercial success is whether it really appears to be what it actually is. Case in point: Kodomo no Jikan. There are many people who perhaps glance at this anime, and maybe even check out the first episode, and come to the conclusion that it's a perverted lolicon series with no plot and all the depth and character of a spoon. See, this is where the ability to overlook fanservice, even if you aren't particularly attracted to it, is beneficial. In doing so, you'll push further and further into this series, and discover that it really isn't what it looks like.
So is it a shallow ecchi series? No. It is ecchi. It is loli. And it is also one of the most remarkably deep and moving dramas I've ever watched.
In terms of plot, it's pretty basi…

I guess you can say Kodomo no Jikan is defiantly something unique. Its not what you expect from the title, and not what you expect from pictures, small clips or AMVs you may have seen. In fact its probably all of that combined.
On first impression it seams kind of like lolicon, so basically a pervy anime with no back story at all. but the art is good, it begins in a humors way, and keeps you interested with nothing other but the introduction to a back story :D
The further along you go, the deeper you dig into the surprisingly difficult lives of Rin, Mimi, Kuro and Reiji, and how a barely experienced teacher can get through to them and learn a couple things himself.
I guess to even consider watching this anime you'd have to be lacking what i would probably call "Anime Prude." and be willing…

After being recommended by a friend, I decided to check out this series during a lull in my hectic anime watching schedule. I wish I could’ve come up with a better introduction, but I’m writing this in between clacking away in a race against time to finish a 4,000 word creative piece about a magical girl forced to defend a town in Ukraine from radioactive zombies by Monday. I would wait, but I have a feeling that if I did, these thoughts would just poof from my head and wouldn’t come back nearly as easily.
Kodomo no Jikan is a show that raises several interesting points through a superb blend of drama and comedy about the nature of children’s emotions, and how they tend to be rather hyperbolic in nature. As we all know, children don’t learn self constraint on their own. By age 8, which is…

Well, of all things today I'm writing a review of Kodomo no Jikan. I thought I was going to be writing a review of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni next, but time changes moods it would appear.
Anyway, Kodomo no Jikan is a show that has created a lot of buzz for it's content and I assume for mostly it's content is it popular or notorious. It is by far not a very unheard of anime and manga, but there are a few things I think are undersaid about this anime and manga, or since I have only seen this anime, and this is the anime section, the anime. So I'm writing this review. Not that I needed a justification for doing so.
This done one thing I have never seen done so much so in my life. And that is it's representation and extreme focus on child sexuality. This is what makes this show so notorious a…

Kodomo no Jikan is a heavily controversial title, and with good reason. But like most controversial titles, its subject matter is not exploited in vain, and the end result is something that can be credited, at the very least, as a decent series in its own right.
No series has dared to tell the story KoJikan tells and gotten away with it, but for all the underage fanservice it provides, the heartwarming drama beneath the disturbing ecchi comedy ultimately shines. Had KoJikan been solely about the fanservice, this series would deserve all the negative criticism it has received, but there's a heavy dollop of character-driven drama and unique relationships, the context of which have never been explored up until now. One of its more important plot aspects is the recognition of children as havi…

What can I say about this show that isn't absurd, offensive, or down right politically incorrect? As a forewarning to those who are offended by lolicon-esque (kids in ecchi situations) anime DO NOT WATCH THIS SHOW.
With that aside, for what its worth, the show minus the loli porn wouldn't be that bad BUT there are ALOT of things wrong with the show in the technical sense. From episode one, you can tell this is only worth watching if you got the DVD version (if there is such a thing). Alot of jokes don't get off the ground because they're bleeped out and i don't think i need to mention about the lolicon/comedy situations. I don't mind them censoring the scenes but at least leave the speech in tact. Having whole sentences at a time bleeped out, funny words or emotions replaced with a duck…

Now that the first season is over, a damage assessment is in order. Look for criticisms in the usual places, the points against this series should be legion. It's pointless loli-fanservice trash. It panders to pedophiles. It's yet another retread of overly precocious kids whose dialogues are contrived by writers who have no least idea how normal kids would interact. And as a prominent blogger puts it, even if you thought the series wasn't half bad, the other half is censored.
I won't sugarcoat or paper over the fact that the show revolves around a nine-year-old continuously making mature sexual advances against her twenty-three-year-old teacher, some of which would be actionable by law even if she is of age. It is what it is. I understand and respect the position of those of you who simpl…

Kodomo no Jikan is a hilarious and highly controversial anime however all the censorship, makes this less enjoyable to watch and it does make me wonder why certain TV networks decided to ban it. ^_^
Kodomo no Jikan (Child’s Time) is a School, Ecchi, Romantic, Comedy about Daisuke Aoki, the new homeroom teacher to a 3rd Grade class at elementary. He is very inexperienced and proves to have a problem teacher however his biggest problem is a girl in his class Rin Kokonoe, how happens to have a crush on him. The story is surprisingly great for this kind of anime nevertheless it ends up following the usual trend by starting of happy and fun before getting too serious. There is plenty of drama but it never gets in the way of the fun nature of the show.
Even though this anime may lack cha…
