Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It

Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It

Introduction

It is widely believed that science can provide rational explanations for the countless phenomena of our universe. However, there are many aspects of our existence that science has not yet found a solution to and cannot decipher with numbers. The most notorious of these is the concept of love. While it may seem impossible to apply scientific theory to such an intricate and complex emotion, a daring pair of quick-witted Saitama University scientists aim to take on the challenge. One day the bold and beautiful Ayame Himuro outwardly declares that she is in love with Shinya Yukimura, her fellow logical and level-headed scientist. Acknowledging his own lack of experience with romance, Yukimura questions what factors constitute love in the first place and whether he is in love with Himuro or not. Both clueless in the dealings of love, the pair begin to conduct detailed experiments on one another to test the human characteristics that indicate love and discern whether they demonstrate these traits toward each other. As Himuro and Yukimura begin their intimate analysis, can the two scientists successfully apply scientific theory, with the help of their friends, to quantify the feelings they express for one another?

Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It Is a painfully mediocre cringe fest. The whole premise of the anime is that two Science obsessed friends try and prove their love for each other through science. Sounds simple enough in concept but throughout the whole anime it just feels executed horribly. I mean they did deliver on the science experiments but just in an extremely cringey and hard to watch. The main characters of the show are two buffoons who have this whole "I'm better than you" Act throughout the show and just act all high and mighty. Alot of the time they will spit out some random scientific terms that most likely you have never heard in your life to sound smart and some how it proves their "Love" for each other. I cannot stress how unlikeable the characters in this anime…

I am going to review both series in this review, because I can't really separate them. There are no spoilers, but... well, you'll see. This anime follows two university students who are "science-types". If I had to describe this anime in one sentence, it would be (and I said this out loud at least once while watching): "Man, for two people who are so smart, they're idiots!" Very first episode, the woman confesses to the man. Instead of taking her at face value and, well, sampling the fruits of her love, they instead embark on a two season cringe-fest where they try to determine scientifically whether they're in love or not, creating and testing hypotheses, and all the things you'd expect "science-types" to do. In the process, we, the viewer, are taught things about science and the scienti…

“Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It” is what happens when You want to piss off a researcher with OCD. We follow a pair of characters (and that’s a generous assessment), that have only one trait that has been pumped up to something that pretends to be a personality, on their pathetic journey to prove that they fall in love with each other, using scientific-ish methods… even though there is a lot of research on the subject already and they could just use that. But I suppose that would make too much sense. Along for the ride are their coworkers / friends that are forced to help them with their goal. And yes… they are just as flat as the main duo. Speaking of which. Our main coterie is: Shinya Yukimura - The main, Sheldon Cooper type (yeah… sorry for referencing “The Big Bang Theor…

I'd recommend it only to those who want to see COMEDY. Not to those who want a serious romantic love story.. I was really disappointed because I wanted a serious romance. Still I won't say that I hated this anime. Science fell in love, so I tried to prove it. As the name suggests, two people who are very technical and logical (scientists) fell in love with each other but they didn't want to believe this fact, so they did tons of experiments (literally it made me laugh so many times) to get the proof or evidence to see if they actually have fallen for each other or not. Art of this anime is just Admirable! Music wasn't good enough 👎🏼 Character development wasn't seen as I wanted.. The only thing that is worth watching in this anime is HOW THEY TRY TO PROVE THEIR LOVE Statistically, S…

5 - There was something you enjoyed. Still a bit forgettable, but not a waste of time. So, this honestly is a decent comedy with some educational references at times. The premise of the story is fine, and honestly... Himuro Ayame might be one of the cutest 2D girls I've ever seen, and I'm not a "2D girl" type of guy at all. But the way her pony tails wags in excitement for her love interest is great. But anywaaaayyys, the comedy is fine but it never really made me chuckle or laugh. We all know that the essence of a comedy is laughter, and if it can't evoke that then it isn't very good. That's the main problem for this anime. The jokes aren't great, and the situations aren't really funny. Just somewhat interesting. However, the plot is still somewhat interesting, and it is nice seeing th…

"What is this thing called Love?...using SCCCCCIENCE~!!" LA will say it directly about Rikei ga Koi ni Ochita no de Shoumei shitemita. and that it's one of those strain of animes similar to Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen, the biggest difference however is that our main couple of Ayame Himuro voiced by Sora Amamiya and Shinya Yukimura voiced by Yuuma Uchida actually "spits it out" and their endeavors to "scientifically" and "mathematically" find their having "spit it out" to each other. Ohhh this isn't spoilers by the way, they do this in the FIRST episode!. So in the Ikeda Lab where they work as university students as well as their fellow lab members helps Himuro and Yukimura to "find love". Rikei ga Koi ni Ochita no de Shoumei shitemita. is a very character-c…

Love comedies tend to be one of those hit or miss kind of shows.....and this one is more of a miss than not. I was really excited when I saw the trailer for this, and expected to really like it. As a college student with a job I enjoy watching slice-of-life type shows with people in it that are not always high-schoolers. I thoroughly enjoyed Wotakoi from couple years back (it's probably one of my favorite rom-coms) and saw that this had some of the same vibes. However, I was disappointed to see that it fell flat in comparison with it's samey gags every episode and less than interesting characters (except Kosuke, we love Kosuke). One of the shows worst areas is its humor. Every episode is more of less different takes of the same overall gag which is "Two nerds over complicating love." Whi…

Rikei ga Koi, or Rikekoi is a very serviceable comedy. If you are really into a certain type of humour, in this case nerds really failing to understand social cues and romance, then there is a lot of mileage you can get out of this. I found myself very attached to the characters and having a lot of fun in the first half of the show. The reason this is a little bit lower than a really good show is that the show never really managed to move beyond that, it found itself repeating the same genre of the joke all the way until the end, with only a few exceptions. The characters are for the most part great. The two main leads carry the show and clearly have amazing chemistry, while most of the side characters are able to have fun interactions between them, particularly the troll-like nature of…

"Cite that reference. Then make your argument." If you are in academia, you will know how important citing other literature is to make claims. This review is mostly SPOILER FREE. The anime in a nutshell, is pretty much analogous to an existing anime [1] with equally (if not more) enjoyable characters. A major difference being that the characters are in grad school instead of high school. Story: 8/10 The story is pretty much that of a generic romantic comedy where the two main characters are in love each other but the entire series is about their journey of getting together. Where this anime makes its mark is that the two characters already know they like each other but are trying to "prove" their love for each other in a scientific way. Now the scientific way is usually rigorous and hen…

RikeiKoi is a romance comedy about two college students in a research club who want to scientifically prove their romantic attraction towards each other. In general it's a very lighthearted story with very straight-faced delivery of humor, but other science enthusiasts likely should appreciate the research the author did to include real-world scientific references in the story. RikeiKoi's comedy is a bit less about shock value, and more "matter of fact" exposition. Rather than focusing primarily on moments of outstanding stupidity or clumsiness, the humor tends to explain situations in outrageously excessive detail. So for example, another romance comedy would specifically set the tone by lovers about to kiss being inconveniently interrupted by unforeseen disturbances. RikeiKoi plays this…

What is love? Baby don't hurt me Don't hurt me No more What is actually "LOVE"? "Love is a complex set of emotions, behaviors, and beliefs associated with strong feelings of affection, protectiveness, warmth, and respect for another person." Perhaps this is an explanation that we all understand. We are all human beings, have feelings and want to love and be loved. "Why do you love ME?" What is the correct answer to this sentence? "Because of your character, appearance, kindness etc" such an answer sounds logical and plausible. But people have a scientific explanation for almost everything in 2020, can our feelings also be analyzed and explained by science? Can we tell from certain physical reactions and fluctuations that we really love someone? STORY: Our two scientists, Himuro and Yuk…

The joke/plot/everything got old in the first half of episode 1 I remembered thinking halfway in episode 1 oh this will just be another 1/10 in my entries sigh One dimensional like Kaguya san and Takagi san You already know they still won't get what love is until the last episode or for who knows how long the manga is going They'll try to prove their feelings, they still won't get it, rinse and repeat Ibarada is best girl and the only likeable character, the rest are detestable boring and generic A complete snoozefest from start to finish Having said that even with Ibarada focus would be snoozefest coz her love interest is just as boring as the main couple Kanade is so bad as a straight man role 1/10

Rikei ga Koi ni Ochita no de Shoumei shitemita or Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It, yeah right nice work , Yamamoto, Alfred ( the original creator) fro coming up with something as dorky as this series ( web manga/ anime), so here's the juice: Pros: Anime starts with science hot dork Himuro, Ayame declaring her love for an equality good looking dorkster , Yukimura, Shinya and anime ends with the two finally kissing, but not without a lot of pseudo-scientific shenanigans from the both of them. Con: Too many pseudo-scientific computations and a lotta BS bush beating and hesitation, that simply just falling in love needs to have some scientific basis, TBH nearly all computations seen here were just very obnoxious to begin with. Verdict (1/10) Art: Pros: Himuro, Ayame and Ibara…

Please note this review is intended to be read by those that have finished watching Science Fell in Love so I tried to prove it and while care has been taken to minimise story related spoilers there may still be spoilers within character analysis. You have been warned. Based off a popular web manga of the same name Rikei Ga Koi ni Ochita no de Shoumei ShiteMita which is better known by its English title of Science Fell in love, so I tried to prove it is a romance and comedy genre anime that gives us a unique opportunity to see what will happen if science is used to measure one of the most fundamental aspects of relationships that occur between human beings which is that of romantic love. While romantic comedies as a genre has never been one that’s able to dominate the seasonal rankings f…

All Rom and no Com. RikeKoi couldn’t fully cement itself as a really good show for two reasons, its inadequate comedic directing and unfortunately containing the anime classic, the cringey, contrived drama towards the end to create a more...memorable finish? (Seriously though, why does every show feel the need to do this?) Just like the number of negatives though, there are two things that do make RikeKoi a pretty acceptable experience to watch. The first is the charming cast of characters (besides the Manga-ka girl, obviously) and the other is the actual romantic progression that is decently fleshed out. RikeKoi is a show about scientists, and that is where the comparison to scientists ends. The way our scientist friends are presented is about exactly how you would expect someone who may…

There’s no real grand, or even minuscule message that the show delivers when it comes to love despite all the data examination and rumination. It’s for the most part a par for the course mediocre romantic comedy with some science strewn about to give it some sort of differentiation. The plot mostly consists of the entire group doing experiments to quantify what love really is. It mostly has the experiments devolving down to gaffs and goofs and not much else. The experiments aren't even the science portion of the show, but rather it’s the theoretics and laws that are thrown around; usually accompanied by a bear to unnecessarily explain it. Mostly used to pad out the shows run time as they provide as much substance as just name dropping the theories and moving on, and it’s also the most pat…

TL;DR + NO SPOILER REVIEW: (btw i am new to reviewing) Story - 7: Had a nice theme of trying to determine what are the base conditions for someone to be in love with another. The execution of the story was good, but it stayed good, neither improving nor worsening. Art - 7: Slightly better than what's out there today, but nothing special. Sound - 7: Generic OP, ED, and OST. The norm; nothing special or memorable. Character - 7: Good characters, science-types characters that have the same personality throughout the anime, as well as, other side characters that have personality. Enjoyment - 8: Was quite funny at times, using science topics to create jokes was clever. Though it's not hard to make me laugh. Overall: 7.2 (7) FULL REVIEW + SPOILERS: Story: Trying to define love with…

NERDS! So, yeah. This is just plain funny comedy show. It features a lot of science and other stupid stuff. The Story: Himuro Ayame and Yukimura Shinya have feelings toward each other but as they are huge science nerds, they don't believe is the feelings of love since feelings are not real but science is, so they start to analyze the signs of love and other stupid stuff like that. We follow them while they conduct research on love and how to recognize the signs of love. There are a lot of actual science which is nice. Towards the end they need to present their findings on love in front of "hardcore" scientists. Characters: We have our main couple, Himuro and Yukimura. They are highly hilarious together. The research they do goes from how and where to go to a date, does the oxytocin leve…

It was poetry in motion, but they blinded each other with science. Do you love me? Prove it through science! That’s the mind process of two scientists, who are head over heels for one another but can’t prove it. The solution? Perform various experiments until they can scientifically prove that they do in fact love each other. Because smart people don’t understand how feelings work or something. As a comedy this premise works fine enough. But as a romance it fails miserably. Love is a feeling you have for somebody or something. Not a presentation where you have to explain your reasoning. So having them perform these experiments is pointless and only prevents any romantic development. You’re not so much cheering for them as you are yelling at them to realise their own feelings. It's the sa…
