20. My Love Story!! (2015)
Koala (4/5)


MLS is the story of a large, gorilla-like high school boy, who falls in love with a small, meekish high school girl, who's feelings are mutual. After thinking that she's actually in love with his best friend, and proceeding to fail at setting the two up, she confesses and the two begin dating. This isn't the typical anime romcom where there's some love triangle or melodrama, or the girl is actually sick and dying. This is just pure, innocent romance, with some great comedy mixed in to boot.

The two mains begin dating pretty quickly in. I think it's maybe the 5th episode when they finally get together, which allows for a lot of time for the two to build legitimate chemistry as a couple. It works pretty well despite the typical trope of never banging like a real couple/ Both of them are completely innocent, and their love for each other is true and pure without any sexual desire needing to drive them closer, which is really nice given the overall tone of the show. It's so mushy and sweet that you end up a type 2 diabetic halfway through, and your pancreas shut down by the end. But not a moment isn't worth it, since I spent all 24 episodes with a big, stupid grin on my face.

I know a lot of people don't like how formulaic his is, and how little the two actually manage to get as far as covering the bases go (I honestly don't even remember if they kiss by the end of it, tbh. Every episode is pretty easy to predict, since Takeo and Rinko are both awesome people who do awesome things. Even in the final arc where it just barely dips it's feet into something that approaches drama, it's soon rifled out in favor of having a more adorable narrative. I can't blame anyone for thinking this show is dull because of how safe it plays everything, but I can call them a monster.
