This anime is so cute! I might be biased mainly because I adore cutesy animes, am interested in space exploration, and am a lesbian. But, I think it's a great production nonetheless. It's perfect if you're ever bored during summer or if you don't know what to watch. The plot itself isn't hard to follow and is more of a leisurely watch, the art style is perfect for the overall vibe, the characters are very adorable and have admirable personalities, and it overall just made me very happy to watch. I think if you're looking for light, comedic, and uplifting animes, you'd most certainly enjoy this one. Thank you for the outstanding show!

This is a review of the anime and manga series, Koisuru Asteroid (KoiAsu). I will principally focus on the anime, and do note that there will be spoilers for this series.
Now what is KoiAsu about? To put it simply, it covers the Earth Sciences club, and the members as they carry out activities about geology and astronomy. We have Morino (Monroe-senpai), Mira, and Ao on the astronomy team, and Inose and Sakura on the geology team, with Chikage and Nanami (interested in meteorology) joining the team later on in the anime. For both Mira and Ao, they have a common purpose for joining this club: Years ago, when both were young, they had made a promise to each other to find an asteroid and name it Ao, as a result of Mira sharing a name with the variable star Mira (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…

I'm in love with astronomy, so I searched for an anime that will focus on something like that and I found out about this anime. To begin with, I cannot say I didn't enjoy the anime but there's a lot of things lacking. As astronomy lover, I expected a lot of nice landscapes and space scenes, something like Kimi no Na wa, but that was not the case with this anime.
The plot is interesting, but the story development is obviously not that good. I would say that sound was okay, whereas I was not in love with the art style. I don't know, but the art style was very strange to me, they had dark purple strokes and some colors were uncommon(I believe I am not used to different stroke colors because black ones are mostly used).
In conclusion, I would recommend this anime, especially to Astronomy l…

Asteroid in Love: Wait, it’s About Space, Right?
Hello, everyone. I’ve developed a good few interests over the years, various hobbies that I enjoy spending my time with. One of which, I’m doing right now. I think they’re a very important part of life, and I’m sure most of you would agree with that. A lucky few may even turn these passions into careers or turn them into something more viable in their everyday life, but for many, that won’t happen. However, they are still incredibly rewarding experiences and life would certainly be far worse without them. I was never a very passionate person when I was younger. I didn’t have all that much I liked. I was stuck in my own incredibly small world and never tried to get out of it, partly because I didn’t know how but I also just didn’t want to…

This anime had me sceptical at fist it had a low rating but the animation style looked really good and the comedy right up my ally.
This anime had a very good start having an interesting twist instantly hooking me. After that, I can agree that the pacing is a little over the place much different to a lot of other "slice of life" anime not giving a proper "A day in a life" sections ("a day in a life" referring to a section that is the main character average day.), as well as the sense of time, is a bit off. Other than that the whole anime is amazing the art is beautiful, the information on astronomy and archology is very interesting, the characters are all cute and cool and play normal anime tropes well, the comedy is really funny (At lest for me.) and the over arching story is a roller-c…

Koisuru Asteroid Is a great show and if you like slice of life, it would be a good fit. It’s one the of the shows that you don’t need to be interested in the subject but you can still enjoy it.
Story10/10
The story was what made me watch it in the first place,It was pretty interesting.
It’s about a girl who once meets a boy while out camping and the boy talks about asteroid and found out her name is a asteroids name but there was no asteroid with the boys name so she decided to find a new asteroid and name it after him then a few years later they meet again and she found out that boy was a girl and stilled continued to find a new asteroid.
Art 10/10
The art was good. How they draw the characters and settings and they especially did a great job on drawing the stars in the sky and it was a…

The show telling me how cute girls doing their cute thing. Its funny, how two different club become one. Like sky and the earth? A big challenge there, but they manage to put all the problem together so fast. How cute with what they are doing, i can't stop smiling, i can't stop tearing my eyes. Maybe i dont have any interest about the concept to the astronomical thing, or even the geology one. However, with just looking to their activity, i just feel refreshed, a nostalgic memories to bring back by this show. I had the same feeling to Suzu-chan at some scene though their activity together. Yet, repetitive moment got blown up sometimes, another cute character show on to fill the blank. A bit sad with Mira and Ao can not find their dreams. But no problem girls, just enjoy your time at your b…

"Everyone has their own things they love and their own special talents, their own unique world. If you are by yourself you only have your own world, but when it connects together, the possibilities spread out endlessly before you. Just like the vast, unknown cosmos."
Koisuru Asteroid, the one and only thing in this spring that makes me think that "is this really not yuri with this kind of disclossure?" but glad that it wasn't in the end(YUP! DOGA KOBO STRIKES AGAIN!). The story follows at Kinohata Mira that made some promise to Manaka Ao that bounds them until they met again at highschool. Not your usual slice of life thing, Mira got Ao pumped up by having the same huge dream that is to find an unknown asteroid and name it by Ao (blue in English), Because there was asteroid named after he…

A back-to-basics Doga Kobo cute-girls-doing-cute-things anime has the pleasure to show us the wonders of the universe, precisely asteroids, along with a healthy small dose of the wonders of geology, and in classical Doga Kobo, a small quantity of yuri subtext (English name is Asteroid in Love). Your astrological chart says that you'll read spoilers, so you're warned.
When a little girl called Mira Konohata meets little boy Ao Manaka, they promised each other to discover a new asteroid when older. In the present, teenage Mira joints the Astronomy Club, where she meets teenage Ao, who is actually a girl, and along with Mai Inose, Mikage Sakurai and Mari Morino, they start their adventures exploring the wonders of the Earth and the Universe.
Story (9/10):
Mira Konohata is a passionate girl…

Koisuru Asteroid was... to be honest, it was kind of a let down. I wouldn't go so far as to say I went in with high expectations, because I didn't. However, I still expected... something. Anything at all. A story of two girls wanting to fulfill their life-long promise of finding an asteroid together. It has the perfect set-up for an astrological yuri anime! Which is SO my aesthetic, y'all! However, Koisuru Asteroid did NOT deliver, unfortunately.
The characters are cute, sure, but so is every slice-of-life character design. They don't have too much personality outside of regular tropes you can see from any other show. Meaning, they don't offer anything creative or new here. They also just dump random characters in, for whatever reason, making it even harder to care about the original gro…

A review of Koisuru Asteroid from an aspiring earth scientist's point of view.
WARNING: Can be VERY LONG and have minor spoilers. May gush on about some things as well. The review really only starts in the 3rd paragraph.
Koisuru Asteroid is a fairly typical CGDCT anime. But it is a typical CGDCT anime that dreams. It dreams to help others discover, wonder, and pursue. Whether it be knowledge, human connections, introspectiveness - this anime was made with a clear goal of allowing its audience to appreciate these aspects while providing an extremely relaxing, heartwarming, and endearing little tale about people who have aspirations in their lives. I love this anime. I went into it only because it had a slight whiff of geology involved (which is the field I am studying and is a subject har…

Quick version:
If you're looking to laugh and finding a funny slice of life anime, this isn't an anime for you. The passion element and aesthetics are what stand out the most in Koisuru Asteroid. So unless you're into anime about passions, and unless you care much about immersion from aesthetics, you'll find it pretty boring since the story is rather slow and the characters aren't loveable by their traits alone. But if you do, you'll enjoy it very much.
TL;DR:
Koisuru Asteroid isn't a slice of life anime that will make you laugh so hard as other CGDCT anime do. It never intends to be. However, Koisuru Asteroid is an anime that will make you fall in love with each character's passion, and dream.
Koisuru Asteroid is a relatively slow-paced slice of life anime with characters that may look…

Koisuru Asteroid is a fairly by-the-numbers entry to the "cute girls doing cute things" genre. This time it's centered around a schools natural science club, and follows a group of friends - including two girls that have reconnected years later, after a chance meeting where they have made a promise to discover and name an asteroid together.
The art style is nice, the characters are cute and the episodes are pretty chill, as is par for the course for this type of anime.
What else is there to say though... Well, for people who enjoy this kind of anime it's serviceable enough and fans of K-On! or Non Non Biyori for example, might find more enjoyment here than I did. In my own experience though I found it lacking. It covers a lot of the same ground that shows like those did, but lacks the dr…

Do you like astronomy?
Do you like geology?
Do you like cute girls?
Do you like those cute girls to be doing things in a manner that can only be described as "cute"?
Do you like heavy yuri undertones?
Well then Asteroid in Love is the series for you.
If you like CGDCT and/or shoujo ai then I'm sure you'll like this show. If you like astronomy or even geology then you too will probably be able to get some enjoyment out of this show. If you don't like any of those things then this ain't the show for you, feel free to move along.

Life sucks, so let’s just allow ourselves to sink into the soft pillowy embrace of alcoho-er...I mean...cute girl anime.
If its core fanbase wasn’t evidence enough, it’s hard to fuck up a cute girl anime. In the past, I’ve gone on record being fairly lenient towards most low-effort moe anime. With “Koisuru Asteroid”, most of my convictions about cute girl anime have been gravely perturbed.
The term “CGDCT” or “Cute girls doing cute things” is one I’ve never been a fan of, if not for the sole reason that I grew up in the era that encapsulated its inception and persistence. I get the appeal because I lived through the majority of this genre’s golden age. I understand why certain fans will come to the defense of even the most niche entries in this genre.
There’s a reason why the term “CG…

It’s always a bonus when an anime resonates with things you’re genuinely passionate about.
Koisuru is the first anime I’ve ever seen to deal with my first love of astronomy and by all accounts, it did a damn good job. When it comes to Doga Kobo shows we know what we’ll get. Cute girls doing cute things, occasional yuri ships and wholesome content that makes you want to go out and find your own niche group of friends. Koisuru delivered on those expectations and more.
Not only were we treated to wholesome interactions between the cast on their adventures to discover and name an asteroid, but we actually were treated to extremely accurate information regarding astronomy. Entire segments of episodes are seemingly love letters to the field, including useful tutorials and other tidbits for a…

Kirara shows for me are occupy one of two states. What this means is they are either some of the best anime I have ever watched (K-On, Yuru Camp, Hidamari Sketch), or incredibly mediocre with nothing better to offer (many many other shows). Koisuru Asteroid is, unfortunately, as boring as they come when it comes to CGDCT. I've had similar experiences with Rifle is Beautiful last season and normally I would have done the sensible thing and stopped watching after a few episodes. And yet somehow I kept pushing myself to watch this, because, similar to Rifle Is Beautiful, this is made by a renowned studio that I do so love, and by a team whose previous work I did enjoy immensely (being Wataten). Which made this whole endeavor extra disappointing.
The series does begin with a pretty good firs…

"Koisuru Asteroid" is one of those anime than unless you're interested on its subject matter you won't be liking it as much as you'd want to. What if I told you that's not always the case. What if I told you that the characters could make the story rather the aforementioned "subject matter"? "Koisuru Asteroid" is certainly one of those anime, and I'll prove it to you.
Yes, because the characters are so likable it makes me ignore the fact i've never been interested in astronomy. It's fascinating because throughout the anime I learned so much about something that it never mattered to me and all this thanks to its characters interaction, which I have to say, it's actually hilarious. They somehow make it possible to be hilarious and at the same time, explain further the astronomy. I actually…

Among the various Anime released in January 2020, is one of the studios that is fairly solid in its adaptation. Namely, Doga Kobo with his new title "Koisuru Shouwakusei" The thing that made him 'different' from others was not only having a unique storyline, but also in terms of the graphic design that was displayed when it was really 'different'.
I do not understand in here. You all manipulated the score, as if you forbid anyone else to watch this. I say this is a good anime, why because there are several factors that influence why this anime can be good. The many scenes of astromomical explanation, which I find easy to understand. in addition, their struggle to reach their ideals is exemplary and motivating, and much more.
It was when we were kids.
