I just finished watching Momokuri, and I'm left feeling...meh. I know, I know, it looks all cute and innocent, but trust me, it's a bit of a weird ride. I mean, I've seen some obsessive behavior in anime before, but this one takes the cake.
The whole premise revolves around Yuki, the girl who's basically stalking Shinya, the boy she's got a crush on. Like, seriously stalking him - secret photos, stealing his stuff...it's borderline creepy. And yet, it's played off as cute and endearing? I don't know, man, it just didn't sit right with me.
Don't get me wrong, there are some adorable moments scattered throughout the series. But if you're looking for a romantic anime with actual relationship development, Momokuri ain't it. It's like they took every cliche from the "awkward girl falls for po…

This series will make you blush the whole time.
Momokuri is a romcom anime about two lovebuds falling in love and they are together from the start.
One thing I like about this anime is it has no dramas,breakups,love triangle and other tropes we see in most romance anime.
It is pure wholesome stuff.the description may be a little misleading.it's not about some girl stalking over a boy shamelessly.
It's only seen in first episode and later in the series is acknowledged as a bad thing.So no yandere-bullshit tbh.
Story-9/10 the story is wholesome and seems relatable.the story also focuses on couple's insecurities about their relationship which is such a great thing.-1 for irrelevant beach episode
Animation 10/10 :anime is good and colourful.i like the art style and characters look very cute…

Main girl (Kurihara) is interested in the main guy (Momotsuki) and confesses to him and the couple – Momo-Kuri – is created. So we have a very cute couple happening right in the first episode. The show doesn’t seem to waste time.
Well, that is until second episode, right away. The show becomes stagnant and stereotypical average rom-com with virtually zero development. We have a couple that has major fear of holding hands, again.
The only focus afterwards is about Kurihara being obsessed with her boyfriend, taking secretly pictures of him, stalking, having cringy fantasies and stealing his property to ‘worship’ it.
Momotsuki is regarded by his friends (and girlfriend) as ‘beautiful’ and ‘feminine’, which is not something one describes the looks of a guy. And the further in the series, th…

Falling love for the first time is the one of most beautiful thing in life, isn't it? Me too. When i remembering my first time i was falling in love with my crush, i realized that's the one of cute and dumb moment in my life. Dumb? Yes! When love has fallen in your mind, your common sense won't work properly because you're getting lovesick. One of the proofs is you'll be obsessed with all about him/hers:
- His/her favourite music, hobby, food, daily habits, all about him/her, you wanna know.
-Sitting together, walking together, sharing lunch etc, you wanna doing anything together with your crush.
-Even you wanna collecting anything that relating with him/her. The notebook, pen, handkerchief, even up you wanna smell his/her used tissue, clothes, and also his/her bedroom (In this point yo…

Ah, the anime that makes me smile alone [including in English and Indonesian]
• English┊
this is the best, in terms of the storyline it's really interesting because it's only a couple romance unlike some other anime that are not a pair (2 people) but more than that or what we often call a harem, indeed it makes the story branch depending on which couple is chosen but I'm a bit uncomfortable with that
what is lacking from here is probably songs including op and ed song, the soundtrack doesn't feel good in this anime but rather than not feeling at all right, I can't really comment on the op and ed songs because yes this anime is an OVA so I can't do anything else
In conclusion, this anime is interesting to watch if you pay attention to the storyline and not anything else, knowing how th…

This is a slow paced story about a young, innocent couple who went about discovering romance and figuring how relationship works together.
A few notable things about this show:
- The girl MC is kind of a stalker and can becomes really creepy at times.
- The guy MC is very innocent and kind of oblivious (though later episodes revealed that he's not really as oblivious as we thought).
- The characters act somehow too innocent despite being a highschoolers.
- The slow pacing is seriously Very slow.
That being said, I think this show is not really for everyone. However I think you'll enjoy this show if you:
- Like romance shows with overall happy tone and little to none conflicts.
- Like romance shows that explore the relationship rather than going through journey of getting the characters t…

I expected this anime to have little plot and a lot of comedy, and was surprised to find that it had a good amount of decent plot and not a lot of good comedy. The plot was much better than I expected. The main couple are both very interesting characters, with Yuki being the more interesting of the two, but the aspects of Momo that allow him to accept Yuki and the backstory of how he gained such characteristics was interesting as well. It's a relationship that works really well, making a pretty solid point relating to how in what ways people love each other, express their love, and wish to be loved in return may not be the same, but even if they are different they can be just as strong and match well. Furthermore, the harmless stalker thing was adorable. The pacing was fine in a really gen…

TL;DR: It's simple. It's cute.
Most other romances try to keep you hooked with drama (sadly, often forged through stupid misunderstandings) and love rivalry. This one has nothing of that sort. If you'd need to describe Momokuri in a single word, it'd be 'cute'.
So, don't expect some deep backstories (you actually don't really learn anything about their past or their families) or some fancy plot. It's plain and simple; Girl asks boy out, boy accepts, they do stuff together. So, turn off your brain and enjoy a couple being cute (and awkward) together and having fun with their friends.
Their personalities (including the side characters) and the obsessive stalker-like behavior of his girlfriend made it a pretty entertaining watch for me, even though there wasn't much going on.

I normally love short romance anime's because it normally packs in all the cute stuff and it's just really enjoyable to watch! But Momokuri just rubbed me the wrong way..
Story 5/10: Okay so the story isn't terrible and it's not amazing.. It's a short and sweet romance story and that's all there is to it. It's nothing spectacular but it will never be bad simply because of how the plot is.. I mostly skipped through this anime due to the fact I started hating it pretty early on and I found it close to unbearable to watch, although I pulled through I wouldn't say hate.. But I strongly dislike it. Plot was made for a romance anime and that's all it was.
Art 8/10: Now the art is fairly decent, I don't believe I've watched any anime's that's close to this kind of animation style but it was rea…

First things first. My "reviews" system is explained on a blog entry. Which can be found through my profile.
------
Had a bit tough time choosing between scoring 6 or 7, I usually love absolutely cute stuff + romance on top of that. (ex: "Acchi Kocchi" is something I truly adored), but with this Anime "something" did not "click" with me and I couldn't figure out what was that. But I like praising with score more, thus decided giving 7.
Anyhow. Story is simple enough, It's about cute couple being overly cute and awkward. Getting nervous on simple things and being worried whenever their weird or perverted. I did enjoy it for the most part. I wouldn't say its any bad. Its cute, simple and enjoyable. If if should have any complaint, then it would that I felt it should have ended with a bit m…

In Momokuri we take a peek at the life of Kurihara Yuki and Momotsuki Shinya, as they begin dating - they start dating from episode 1 - they go though many different things, such as new emotions that they didn't knew existed, make happy and sad memories, celebrate Christmas and each others Birthdays, look after each other in times of sickness and being together in times of hardship - not that there is a lot of hardships or anything. This show is drama free with no hard emotions, it only contains happiness and rainbow so there is no need to worry about our couple and just watch it in a carefree way.
The show is Slice of Life in nature - tho the Slice of Life element kind of fails, each episode we follow our couple as they go through their daily life and experience the taste of being in lov…

I am glad that I watched this.
I probably wouldn't recommend this to others.
I have watched this once, subtitled. Before watching the anime, I had read CH1-CH24 of the manga, translated.
I probably won't watch this again.
---- Positives ----
A mostly positive angle on obsession love.
Kurihara's love for Momotsuki isn't completely blind obsession. She directly voices her reasons for liking Momotsuki at least twice in the series, and it gave me a better feeling about their relationship. Some of her actions may still be alarming, but the series generally keeps an upbeat take on this type of love. Momotsuki returns Kurihara's feelings in a more developed way that becomes clearer as the series progresses. He mentions that his reasons for liking Kurihara…

Momokuri
Art/Characters: When first seeing this art, I was a little hesitant, but overall it looked pretty cute and the characters seemed to be interesting, so I gave it a go. I was not disappointed after watching just one or two episodes. The colors are really bright and cute and the animation is fluid and easy to follow. Overall I felt that this show was really easy on the eyes. One of the other things that I really appreciated about this art style is how crisp the characters look. The surroundings are the same way, and because of this, it didn’t look like the characters were superimposed on top of a background that was clearly a different style than the rest. As for the characters themselves, I felt that Kurihara’s character really stood out to me as a rather obsessive character, but i…

Every anime that focuses on romance requires some sort of unexpected developments within the story and plot. It should feature sudden developments that could have a devastating effect to the characters along with the events or narrative. There should be drama, emotional moments full of dialogue, and although optional, should introduce a cast of characters that you can fantasize together for your fan fictions that nobody cares about. Lastly its’ crucial that there are characters that viewers can make a personal connection with to understand them better! Momokuri throws away the standards of the typical romance anime, and curb stomps it to the ground while laughing maniacally. It replaces the very essences of the romance genre with moe moe cuteness.
The best thing about romances is that the…

I enjoyed this series very much!! >///< ♥
..though it saddens me that I've already completed this series :'(
I loved how the storyline focused on the lovestory of Momo and Kurihara! :D It didn't have a lot of fillers which I liked because I didn't get bored at all the whole time i was watching XD Though it's sad that each of the episodes were super short :'( which kept me wanting for more! :"))
The love story of Momo and Kurihara was very sweet and naive which I also liked a lot! X"D ♥ I was able to relate well with the character of Yuki which made the anime very close to my heart in an instant! XD Liking a boy from a far and going crazy about all the little things he does!! :)) ♥
I wish to watch more anime like this! XD ♥ #Momokuri

tldr; this is a moe anime and it makes you feel moe well, so it's good. 9/10.
This anime ain't gonna make you feel. It ain't gonna make you be amazed with intricate story plots and heart wrenching scenes. This ain't that type of anime.
It's a moe anime. If you're looking to say "d'awww" and be smiling while watching these two lovebirds be shy and cute, this is the anime for you!
Don't listen to the other reviews where they rate it badly because of the lack of story or they don't find an intricate plot where there's not meant to be any. This anime is meant to make you smile and have a good time with the moe, and it does that exceedingly well.

You know this type of anime that are so cute that one can't help but say "awww, this is adorable!"? Momokuri is one of it's finest examples.
Yuki Kurihara is a girl that is absolutely obssesed with Momo, mainly just because he's extremely cute due to his short height and a bit girly looking, calling Yuki a stalker doesn't make justice to her character, she knows everything about him: what he does, what he likes and dislikes... all before they start their relationship during the first seconds of the anime and without him knowing about it.
While this might look creepy and the perfect concept for a yandere anime, Momokuri focuses in the cute parts of this, and gives us a lighthearted, happy, and absolutely adorable romance between this two characters. The side characters are also pretty goo…

Imagine if you mix the cutest characters and ship those characters together. Well imagine no further, because Momokuri offers just that!
What got me into this series is that despite it being a shoujo anime, it didn't seem like one. To me, it looked like a normal romcom that both boys and girls would watch. Perhaps it's because it targets both the guy and the girl's feelings. We know what both of them are thinking of, thus there's no mystery or plot convenience.
The characters were so friggin' cute! The reason I started watching it in the first place was because of how cute these two characters in the cover looked! And as a guy who likes ecchi/harem, that's saying something! Even the way these two interact was adorable! Too adrable, in fact, that my heart couldn't take all the moe! It's a…
