It's a shame there won't be another season, it's incredible what Tsurezure Children achieves with episodes 12 min long. Really funny characters, they are steryotypes of anime romcoms, but at the same time they would benefit of a 24 min runtime. The art style was also fluid for what was proposed, adding a lot on comedic value on some scenes, and since it is a romcom I haven't felt the need to a higher level of details, in the end the animation was fairly faithful to the manga.
Tsurezure Children reminded me of Kaguya-sama: Love is War (the setting, archetypes, comedy and shorter story style that leads to a bigger picture, their development), so, if you liked Kaguya, give this a shot!
Since there won't be another season I'll be catching up to the manga, by any means I thought it was perfec…

If I had to describe this in one word, it's McDonalds. It's not healthy. It tastes only fine. However, you didn't invest much and you just got some chemicals that you need.
Putting a romance setting as a highschool is pretty generic so that already is a bad start. Tsurezure Children tries to be different where instead of telling one generic story, it tells around 6 generic stories and skips the usual filler. The upside is skipping the filler, the downside is that 6 generic stories told at once are still as generic.
The show seems very focused on trying to induce the "fuzzy cringe" feeling you're supposed to get from watching a romance show. It's hard to put this into words, but it feels like everything you see is a variant of *twiddling thumbs* "What if we kissed during Morbius premiere"…

I watched Tsurezure Children, also known as Tsuredure Children. Here are my thoughts:
These are ~12-minute episodes that consist of generic highschool romance skits between various student pairings. The characterization of these students is shallow and tropey.
I found the dialogue in this to be very clunky and unnatural. The romance feels quite inorganic and hamfisted, and overall simply not emotionally engaging. The script is seriously awful and a crippling flaw from my perspective; it feels so unnatural it's uncomfortable at times just having to listen to it.
The characters have simplistic same-face designs, and the animation quality is unremarkable. The voice acting is okay but that doesn't mean much when it's wasted on such a clumsy unnatural script.
If you can tolerate its flaws,…

The premise of this anime is a unique approach to the romance genre. Instead of focusing on one couple, it splits off into various different ones. The episodes are very short, each about 12 minutes long.
Story: (7/10)
The story is a basic high school romance anime, except it focuses on various different couples rather than one, each with their own distinct type of romance. The lack of communication is the major cause of the conflicts, which I guess is realistic, as many high schoolers are not so quick to express their feelings for others. If you want a huge focus on a single couple then this may not be for you, as the amount of couples shortens the time they can have on screen each episode, those of which are already short for a typical anime (12 mins). The anime does not feature an all-e…

Tsurezure Children follows the story of multiple pairings thus different aspects such as story, character, and enjoyment would vary depending on the pairing but nonetheless it was enjoyable as a whole. The runtime for each episode was fairly short and was only consisted of 12 episodes, so the series is generally short per se.
So, was it good? Yes it is and I would very much recommend this series for everyone especially to those who has very little time, It's just a bunch of highschool kids confessing. Very light-hearted and wholesome whilst very short, it provides a general insight to the direction of the featured couple's relationship.

I didn't have a lot of high expectations when I was diving into this, solely because I never heard of this anime before, and according to others post-review, they heard others say it's good, and this anime even got a good rating. My girlfriend and I decided to watch it so we did, and this is what I came out with.
I've seen romance and comedy and enjoyed my fair share. But Tsurezure is without a doubt, one of the most generic romance anime I have ever seen in my entire life. And ironically enough, this is coming from someone that just got back into the anime watching groove. The story is absolute garbage, and while it is blatantly obvious of the content you'll receive, what you actually watch doesn't make it anymore bearable.
Quite honestly, I think the Art is the only good thing about th…

(This review has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!)
Love makes the world a better place.
Such love can be for anyone or anything. A close family member. A good friend. A favorite pet. A passion in life. A meal on the table. Without love, we as people wouldn’t be able to enjoy each other and the things we have. So, it’s worth it to appreciate such a wonderful feeling.
Of course, we cannot forget about the most direct, unique love of them all: romance with a partner. That special someone in his or her life that nobody could ever replace in a million years. Tsurezure Children features such bonds basically a million times over, creating an anime that makes it easy for the audience to love back in turn.

Take porn.
Take away sex.
Add romance schemes, diabeetus, fluffly and immediate relationship resolved in thirty seconds.
Here you are Tsurezure Children.
No story, no real character development outside their love story, no particulary funny reason to laugh.
Romcoms work if charachters are relatable, grow up, you can be happy or sad for them. Here there are "General sport guy A" meets "General deredere B", or "General geek C" is loved by "general shy girl D". A big meh.
Yes, there are some "smart" choices, "Tsurezure Children" show us lots of types of confessions, first kisses, friends helping each other in love stuff, even real unconventional ones... But... It's like a big catalogue of love stories. There is this big highschool where everyone meet their partner (there are no love trian…

(the final volume for the source material should be out sometime this Summer - it's a good time to read the series if you hadn't already. And please, ditch this mess)
To simplify the issue: they removed half the cast through-out the series solely to focus on four couples - but in doing so, it removed 3/4 of what made "Tsurezure Children" so good in the first place.
And then BEYOND that, they chopped up scenes and mostly reorganized them so that the pacing was trash and ... wait, why is it only focused on two couples now? Wasn't it supposed to be four? Weren't there tidbits of a few other couples? What??

I typically review romance anime and that ain't stopping here.
This anime was pure romance and will be judged mainly on that subject (there was a little comedy sprinkled on top like a light garnish).
Let's get to the nitty-gritty:
In short, I loved this anime, and loved the manga even more.
In long: There are so many things to love about this anime if you are a fan of romance, which you should be.
In any romance anime there are things you do not like about the characters or the story. In Toradora, as with many anime it takes the main characters forever to realize and express their true feelings (although tbh that was great, like how good is Toradora?).
But typically, the characters in romance anime can be infuriating in the way they approach their feelings. What Tsurezure children…

Was watching this while each episode came out each week. I ended up forgetting about it and just now finished it.
But this was a fun show that has some pretty awesome moments in it. Such as one of the characters sister being messed around with by the girlfriend.
While i do enjoy this and it's fun . The issue i have with it is two things.
1. The story doesn't have an actual ending for a lot of the characters. Such as the Student Council President and the Delinquent and more.
2. While it isn't really bad. It can be annoying how its not just one story in a row. We get one story chopped up into pieces over multiple episodes. This can be alright but for me i just wish we could watch all of one duo's story with it not being over the span of 12 episodes.
The show also has in my opinion tw…

One of the most heartwarming and cutest shows I've seen in a while. All romance fans should immediately watch.
Since the show is adapted from a 4-koma manga, its storytelling structure is composed of mini-skits rather than a full, linear episode. There are multiple "couples" in the show, as the main picture shows, and every episode has about 4 of these mini-skits where it rotates through each couple.
The tone is extremely light-hearted, so don't expect much drama, but you'll get to see the struggles each couple faces. There are almost no drawn-out conflicts; most problems get resolved during or the episode after.
The romance is endearingly innocent, and obviously highly idealized, but that's why we watch romance in the first place right. Overall just an extremely cute show to watch and…

Don't have time for long story arcs just to get to the romance? You can watch this slice-of-life romantic comedy!
"But wait!", you exclaim, "what if I don't have time for any plot or developed characters?"
Then do I have the show for you! Step right up and watch the diabetes-inducing romance show of the season! All of the sugary doki-doki moments without having to sit through any plot, filler, or even followable segues! Heck, you don't even have to sit through a 24-minute episode. That's right, we've now condensed everything you try to squeeze out of a fall season slice-of-life into a single 144-minute season!
Always hated that off-chance you find a show and just don't like the main pairing? Tsuredure's got you covered with over 8 romantic pairings for the p…

Tsurezure Children
Mixed feelings about this one. Its light-hearted attempt at depicting couples teaching each other the meaning of love is too brief. The show in general is very shallow. From the beginning we’re being introduced to, like what, ten to fifteen characters that navigate through high-school with this intent to ship themselves with someone: be it a long-time crush; a very close friend; or some acquaintance they just met by chance. I’m not buying into the premise. Worst yet, for a RomCom, none of the writers and/or producers found it appropriate to deal with rejection. They couldn’t be bothered with such topics i guess, as every single confession in this show was met with a positive response (there was one exception but that scene was dreadful). Which further secures my impress…

"Painfully relatable," that is the only way I can think of to describe this show.
The first time I told a girl I liked her, I stalled for an entire year despite literally everyone, including her, knowing the entire time, and finally could only finally do it via a stupid text. The first time I was about to kiss her, I remembered a dumb joke and burst out laughing, not just killing the mood, but mutilating the corpse too. The first time I told her I loved her, it took 30 minutes just to get the words out and only managed to when she said she had to leave. Basically, I'm a loser, but you know what? I can laugh about it now, and I hope that I'm laughing with all the characters in this show when they fail just as hard as I did, and often even harder.
Tsurezure Children is about a bunch of hig…

At first, when I take a look at the anime, I was like ''Ohh.. It's another high school romance anime that we always anticapte of...'', but..
The uniqueness of how they made the story into seperate ones, simply, each character has a romantic story that most of us loved.
High school itself in anime can be sometimes applied in real life or 'based' on. The way this anime puts the comedic side, along with the comedic and hilarious humor makes the anime a worth it to watch this Summer 2017 and I am so glad I'v watched this anime up to the ending...
Story: 7/10
I will not say anything about the story because its basically obvious that when writing a story, an intro, rising, climax, falling and resolution is a MUST.
But Tsurezure children offers us a 12-minute per episode show that shows various…

Your usual highschool romance.
Except it's not.
Tsurezure children represents an interesting pattern that no anime did before, instead of havinga main character, and the story around him/her, you have tons of pairs, and all of them are "main characters".
Some of them get together early, some later, some don't at all, you have so many options to see, that's why it's unique.
If you like one pair, it sucks when you know you'll barely see them, as there are many more pairs, but if you dislike a pair, you know you won't be seeing them much.
Overall I enjoyed Tsurezure children. I think the strongest point of it was the interesting and huge cast of characters. Instead of the usual "dense MC", "Tsundere" and such tropes, you have more complex characters, each with his or her own tricks.

Romance is a universal theme in the lives of many people. It’s something almost everyone must face at some point in their adolescence, whether they choose go through with it or not. How would you confess? How much do you love someone? How do you hide your crushes? What forms a successful romance? Are you shy or do you prefer to be flamboyant about it? In what ways, do you communicate with those you care about? Watch these questions and more be answered in Tsurezure Children, a playful set of comedic shorts all centered around one thing, the struggles of young love and budding relationships.
Each episode is only 12 minutes long, about half the length of your average anime episode, and in these shorts, there is usually 4 different stories about the hardships and struggles of young love. Wit…

I'll keep this brief since this anime is not only a short but also rather straightforward in nature.
Tsurezure Children is a very simplistic anime on paper, but also a very satisfying and surprisingly original depiction of romance. For something with merely 12-minute episodes, it's hard to find many anime better than this with similar time span.
Tsurezure Children is almost like the antithesis of the stereotypical romance anime. Instead of having a boy and a girl clumsily dancing around each other throughout the whole anime only to get a kiss and/or a confession in the very last episode at best, in Tsurezure Children all the couples are already established from the beginning in some way... and there are a lot of couples. So many I almost lost count of them.
Essentially it is an anime de…

“I love you” is perhaps one of the most complex combination of words in the human language. It holds a special meaning for people of any age and for teenagers, that’s no overstatement. Tsurezure Children takes the idea of romance and brings it out like skits of human stories. It’s a definitely a series that I found charming and doesn’t even to be full length to show that.
As a fan of the manga, I originally had mixed expectations for this adaptation. The manga has over 140 chapters and ongoing. Each chapter is only a few pages long and it would feel like the show may have some difficultly to transform this into anime form. However, the first few episodes easily convinced me that this anime has what it takes to set the bar for a rom-com. At its core, Tsurezure Children is about relationshi…
