Hananoi-kun to Koi no Yamai it's an embarrassing anime in many ways, which has had a terrible start so far, and even if this gets better in the future, it won't erase how depressing and weird this anime is at the beginning. If this story continues in what I will say throughout the my review, I would say that this anime could be the WORST romance anime I have ever seen. Even animes with shy and generic characters would be better than this(in romance anime).
History
By a coincidence of fate, Hananoi and the main girl (I forgot her name) meet in a ... park and she helps Hananoi in the middle of a terrible storm, with a lot of snow, sharing the same umbrella for a very brief moment, hananoi falls in love madly, at that moment the narrative starts to get weird(yes, the story begins in this fantasy that emerged only from hananoi, something very unique, right? hahahaha what a joke this anime is), remembering that this happens in the first minutes of episode 1, which does not count as a spoiler;
What follows in the story is Hananoi's constant persecution of the girl who only helped, as she would perhaps do for anyone in that situation, but for him, that was enough.to make him fall in love madly. The boy becomes a totally different person from his previous personality and starts to pursue the girl, with the intention of making her fall in love with him, and this doesn't happen for a while, and even if it happens it clearly wasn't something natural, because he literally followed her for A YEAR, and besides, his actions to make the girl fall in love with him are extreme, where Hananoi puts her own health to the test just to try to get the girl's attention, becoming extremely embarrassing to follow a failed attempt to make her fall in love with Hananoi.
The narrative continues in this pattern,indicating that, it's clear that o author had no idea how to make this beginning of the story in a more natural and healthy way, and simply chose for a beginning that mixes romance among teenagers that actually emerged through with a chase, and that becomes disgusting of to follow following along the plot.
Long story short, it's about a boy who claims to be in love and pursues a girl, in order to make her fall in love, he does everything. Trying to forcefully create affection with someone is simply something horrible, and as said before, even if it improves the relationship and attitudes, the author opted for this narrative using poorly executed means, staying far from what I would say that it was a romance that it came naturallyand continued to a great level, sticking to a horrendous premise. 1/10
Characters
The secondary characters are the same as those found in any anime, "standard" without any highlight, they are just there to interact with the protagonists and nothing more than that. Hananoi is an obsessed and unhealthy boy, who tries to force an emotional relationship on someone and appears to have a chaotic past due to the way he resolves his feelings that arise in such a way superficial and then turns into something more disturbing. The main girl is simply without personality, she is someone who can be easily manipulated due to her naivety.there are moments when I see her more like a robot, as she lacks feelings at certain moments.
It is clear that after what has been said, interactions between them are expected in the worst possible way, whether due to superficiality or strangeness in a lack of communication and expression of feelings that are really real, in that the author did not know how to to create ANYONE, absolutely NOBODY who is at least average in the middle of this embarrassing narrative. The studio even tries to give expression to the characters by sticking to colors clear in moments that need to express what each character feels, but this even worsens the experience as a whole, leaving everything just weird. 1/10
Scenery/sound/animation
The setting is normal, not bad nor remarkable, it's forgettable.The opening and ending are a little good, but nothing too admirable. The dubbing is good, the soundtrack is also good. The animation is average, there are times when the studio highlights the colors of the animation in an attempt to give life (emotion) to the narrative but these are rare moments, for the most part the animation varies between bad and something good operation , therefore becoming something simplistic, with some strangenesss at certain times. Even though most of the time the animation is bad. 3/10
Pleasure
Did I enjoy watching this? No, at no point was it so terrible in a way that I simply expected that each episode would pass as quickly as possible because it was exhausting to watch to this. Can it improve in the future? Yes, it has potential. But that beginning was the culmination of the abyss of bad that became try to follow the plot. The studio tried a few times to add emotion to this but... it didn't work. 2/10
In conclusion, I wouldn't recommend it, even if the narrative improves in the future, the plot still lacks better characters, because without that the experience would still be bad, apart from the terrible story it still has scenarios and animation that are not very notable for the credibility of a good experience, disturbing the viewing of the anime as a whole.There are several good romance anime out there, don't waste your time on it, because it's not worth it, you won't find anything good in it. I will continue watching hoping to have a different opinion on the story, that is, hoping that it improves at least a little this terrible narrative.

Apr 26, 2024 Imma keep this one short. I wanted to like it, I really did. It's truly wasted potential. This anime tries to hit the same as Skip to Loafer/A Sign of Affection, (both being animes I fucking love), but fails spectacularly. The animation is uncanny and soul-less, scenes that are supposed to be wholesome just come across as weird. The chemistry is non existent, the characters are boring, their interactions are generic. My boy Hananoi-kun is fucking tap dancing on the fine line between cute/possessive and plain creepy. Bro is pretty much just Usui Takumi without the rizz. So far, the only vibes he givin is serial ... Apr 26, 2024 Coming from a manga reader perspective this adaptation truly disappoints. The animation has none of the charm, characters are stiff in almost every interaction, and within the first two episodes I’ve spotted mistakes I just can’t get over. In the first episode during the snow scene we get a close up of Hananoi and he’s clearly missing his left earring from earlier. Meanwhile as Hotaru releases him the animation is so choppy I can see both his earrings for several seconds. Which may not sound like a lot but things like this in a first episode is wild. In episode two ... |
