I am SOOOOOO tired of animes being marked as romance yet they never end up together or even kiss, the idea was unique and could have been cute had they actually ended up together and we saw them date for the first time and all that but instead it's just about two coworkers having crushes on each other and never ending up together. Sure maybe it had a second season they planned on doing but most romance animes never do have a second season so why bother marking it as romance.
Lastly what in the world is up with him being a kid when he is hot? ??? He catches a fever and becomes a child which then has a weird scene that gives pedo vibes where he falls on top of her and she is blushing looking at him like she is about to kiss him AS A CHILD!!!!!

Honestly was bored watching this series. I kept waiting for something to happen between the two leads, but the characters kept getting more and more ridiculous. The supporting characters did nothing to really make the plot more interesting or FOIL the mail characters. I thought the character development among all characters could have been deeper and more creative. I understand why people would find this anime cute, but since the plot and characters are not particularly interesting, it's really just cute as a concept. I've watched a lot of anime in this genre, and this was a disappointment. Nothing seriously questionable and not terrible, just not good.

Another one of those, cool premise, snooze execution, gotta coin a term for this case, it's becoming more and more common, got my dopamin all high for measly pay off, it's just unwatchable with how uninspiring it is.
you read the first line? That's it, the rest is rant
I feel like if you're not at least a little bit unhinged and willing to write out of pocket characters then you shouldn't write a story reliant on characters, boring people shouldn't write character driven stories,
Every other character feels like they're cardboard cutouts of the next, it's a talent truly, turning the romance tag into something so detached from the romance, and let's face it, romance alone can't be, it needs something to nudge the story, comedy, thriller, mystery, drama, GIVE ME SOMETHING.

WHY HAS NO ONE TALKED ABOUT THIS???
When I first watched the trailer, it was like I was finally watching something that was made for me, the target audience. I really liked this anime, it was just so pure and innocent and especially for an adult romance anime. The animation is gorgeous, the characters at times can be bland and boring but there are other characters that do show off pretty colours. The romance part is also nothing particularly new but that doesn't bother me. I do wish there were more episodes and I do so badly want a season 2. I do wish that people talked about this more but it was unfortunately outshined by Dangers in my Heart, Kubo-san Won't Let Me Be Invisible and My Love Story with Yamada-kun at level 999 which are all good romance anime out of this year. But I do wish t…

I like this because the romantic story between Fuyutsuki and Himuro which is not rushed but is able to make the audience, especially me, flutter when they see them, I really like them both T-T Don't forget that the story of the side characters is no less interesting, I like them all.
The story is also light and sometimes there are some character moments like when Himuro was shy about Fuyutsuki and caused snow to suddenly come which I thought was funny >_< I'm quite interested in stories that contain mythological themes like this
I really hope there will be a season 2!! I want to see Himuro and Fuyutsuki again!!

I found this anime to be a relax and fun anime to watch when you just want something simple. This is a slow burn romance, so when though we as the viewers know their feelings early on, but things progress slowly. This slow progress is because of how the main characters personality, so it will feel weird if it was rushed.
But I wanted either one of them to confesse their love in the end. This anime is based on a manga and the manga is ongoing and has six volumes, so I understand why since the anime was short.I wanted to hear more of the main girl's inner monologue.
I want a season 2, but I don't know if that will ever happened.

The premise is really quite simple. An "ice" guy meets this girl who helps him on his way to his first day at a new job. Surprise, she also is starting her new job at the same place. Ensue romance.
There's nothing that really stands out as being bad about this anime, but that doesn't mean it should qualify as "good". It has it's cute moments and I really liked that we got another romance among adults, but it's really just an ok romance. I appreciated that there was essentially no drama and they really only focused on the romance and some of the emotion part of this story.
The characters are the best part about this show, but it kindof feels like we've only had some superficial character writing and development. There are parts of the characters that are really cute and make the show somew…

“The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague” is what happens when someone has a cool (pun unintended) idea, pretty well execution and yet still manages to create a cringy annoying af relationship dynamic.
We follow the ventures of two people. A descendant of a snow woman - Himuro, who isn’t good at controlling his powers and often creates snow and ice related phenomena when he’s overwhelmed with emotions, and a human woman - Fuyutsuki, who works with him. For 12 episodes we watch them work, interact with their coworkers, getting close to each other, witnessing the tension between them rise only to… get absolutely nothing out of it. The show even gives You a pretty big F-U by mocking the monomyth - ending the show in the exact same place it started.
Let’s look at our main duo:
Himuro - bas…

The reality is that the story seemed good, but it didn't get anywhere, they cut the manga everywhere, the manga is very bad, the story seemed good because of the characters, but a very bad outcome, a very bad anime, a horrible story and a Horrible ending, I don't know why I saw it complete... It's terrible, even the manga is bad, it doesn't close a story, one file ends and the other file doesn't continue.
Fuyutsuki-san is beautiful, but the story is bad
the panda is good
but the story is lousy, I thought I was going to see a more adult romance, they are young, but nothing.
La realidad que la historia parecia buena, pero no llego a ningun lado, cortaron el manga por todos lados, el manga es malisimo, la historia parecia buena por los personajes, pero muy mal desalance, un anime muy malo,…

The premise for this anime was promising but it fell flat for several reasons.
The pacing is horrible. Episodes felt really padded out with filler. Character development feels like it moved at a glacial pace.
Did i mention poor character development? 12 episodes in and it feels like things have barely changed. The MC and his love interest act so formally and awkward towards each other even after it seems like they have progressed. The fox woman keeps saying that they've "made progress" but I'm barely seeing it at all. They still behave like awkward teens around each other after an entire season. If you want character development you will be disappointed. Even the auxiliary characters feel underdeveloped, the other love plots barely get any air time and are equally underdeveloped after 12…

The best realistic adult romance anime out there. And one of the best romance anime in general.
It doesn't have much comedy, nor overly animated scenes, but have some of the realest story romance by far!
Though the premise of a supernatural being falling in love in normal working environment might sound like a bit fantasy, this romance anime is one of the MOST REALISTIC romance anime so far. It feels really real and wholesome, and just and joy to watch and put smiles on your face the whole time.
Though one downside for some people is that their romance progress is so little to be made, it's still an enjoyable show. Also not to mention their are also many romance dynamic in the casts as well, not just the MCs.

I don’t write reviews on MAL often, if at all, since, at the end of the day ratings shouldn’t really matter; however, I think Ice Guy is an exception that deserves a fair and honest review. MAL reviews tend to review anime like all anime should be a generation defining masterpiece, I will be upfront and say that Ice Guy isn’t that. Not at all. But what Ice Guy is though, makes the anime worth watching!
What Ice guy is aiming to do: be a nice fluffy rom com with an adult cast of loveable/interesting characters, it does well.
Characters/Story:
I can’t stress how much I love that this show has an adult cast, it’s such a nice change of pace compared to the run of the mill high school romances we get every season and the older I get, the more I appreciate a story set outside of that setting.…

im not even active on this terrible site anymore but since I know yall are gonna do this show disservice here I am [sighs]. this show isnt revolutionary, it probably isnt even a satisfying romance to many. what it does offer however, is a cute concept and lovely characters.
the vibe of this show could be described in one word: relaxing. watching this is easy and doesnt require you to be in a certain mood. the color palette is pleasant and the soundtrack is decent enough.
I do have some issues with the art and animation. at times their faces looked weird and disproportionate, movements felt stiff. it was obvious that there wasnt a big budget to work with. BUT they still made it look decent so I cant complain.
the manga for this is one of my favorite works out there so I highly recommen…

What happens when the descendant of a snow woman meets an 'ice queen'? A quite wholesome experience packed with snowmen, cats, and ...Buddha?
The show mostly revolves around Himuro and Fuyusuki around the office they work at, along with a few other co-workers, as they go on business trips, holiday retreats, or even get up to mischief at the office. The other co-workers are also paired as potential relationships, and are fairly entertaining and likable. There are also other descendants of other myths pop up during the show, so the show's interesting premise doesn't go to waste with just one character being special.
The show is overall a simple feel-good anime, has a really pretty coloring and design, and the OP/ED are very nice. 7/10 experience

Can a Yuki Onna descendant get a cold? Of course not. The thought alone is ridiculous! - Almost as ridiculous as the whole show.
It started out interesting with our maincast being a group of human office workers mixed in with supernatural beings. And this is were it stopped being interesting. They did next to nothing with the supernatural element of the show. This could have potentially been very interesting to learn about the quirks of those supernatural descendants, but it was mostly used as a background animation, nothing more. There was no attempt to create some kind of conflict between the normal humans and the supernatural ones. This could have been a fun show about a romance that conquers the differences between the two races and maybe misconceptions about each other, but it just w…

I can’t stress enough how nice it is to get mature workplace relationships in anime. As I get older, I appreciate these stories a lot more and find them to be more relatable than the usual high school rom-coms. Ice Man and His cool Female Colleague was a really cute and fun ride throughout with loveable characters, good banter and some genuinely heartwarming moments .
I fell in love with this show from episode 1. The art style is some of the best I’ve seen in the medium, the character designs are very clean and other than the Yokai aspect, the world feels real. It really does a good job of making us feel like we’re in the office with the cast and going about their daily lives with them. Story wise, it’s a very episodic series with the obvious intent being to get the main coupe together an…

Koori Zokusei Danshi to Cool na Douryou Joshi anime has been one of an experience. First of all, I’m so glad it aired in winter 2023 season because considering the season and the anime name, it really imparted warmth instead.
As for the show, if you’re into shoujosei then you’re going to love it a lot but if you aren’t into those demographics then it’s probably going to bore you due to the pacing etc. So do take a note of that.
Anyways I loved it and if I were to say then it has the vibe of wotakoi (kind of). Just the vibe, nothing else tbh as wotakoi had better animation, budget and pacing etc. So if you watch it with expectations of it being similar to wotakoi then you’ll be disappointed. The best thing about this show is there is literally no drama no love triangles, just wholesomenes…

Not too long ago, I came to the conclusion that most romantic comedies these days falls under several formulas: the girl falls for a guy or vice versa through certain circumstances, character growth follows for the two main leads, and eventually a narrative story that dives into their relationship. In truth, The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague doesn't avidly avoid these type of writing although it adds additional elements to attract the viewers' attention.
Based on the josei manga of the same name, it's delightful to realize that the cast consists of adult characters. It avoids the high school setting that adheres to every teenage drama imaginable. Instead, this anime takes place in an office environment where realistic circumstances brings together characters. The spicing on cake…

This show poses one really good food of thought: Wouldn't it be cool if people from ancestral spirits commune with one another just like the typical ordinary daily life, from work to home and hanging out together? It is that imaginative.
If you thought that you're having a close resemblance of WotaKoi while watching this show, you're exactly right, though in some good and bad ways. This is mangaka Miyuki Tonogaya's Koori Zokusei Danshi to Cool na Douryou Joshi a.k.a The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague, which is just Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii a.k.a Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku, but fantastical like because of how the premise is set up. It's been close to 5 years since WotaKoi dressed up to the 9's towards the anime scene, and people still to this day, gush about its greatness in…
