Honey Lemon Soda

(12+) I would have rated this an "8" if the series had just stopped before the last two or three episodes. Up until then, it was good, with likeable characters, great drama and a slow burn romance. My God, though! The last few episodes they tried to go full on "Komi Can't Communicate" style and did it poorly! I was honestly just shocked, like did they change writers/directors for the last two episodes or what? And what was it with the CONSTANT cut scenes to a plane flying? I could probably look it up, by why should I have to? It made no sense and really detracted from the series. Not recommended, but not a waste of time either.

Finishing Attacks on Titan (ke hell bro? Why everyone is depressed oy it suck) did same to one fav Shojo then ever pink tree add some soda of title n well getting the awesome high school with another dandanra a la Komi can't communicate here the review: The 12 episodes seen shy high schooler that suffered from bullying Ishimura grows doing things that was never expected is thank to boy that always has her back Kai.

Which following the series we see em getting close facing many obstacles they confront, from getting lost into the woods, to having pressure parents (which is topic never seen in shojo) course facing ye accusers.

Ishimura grows all that while been in high school, epi11 was very controversial on how they rope Kai been saved by her, is bundles how dark gets.

The ending could be better just both staying couch in where house, giving bright.

The key board of soundtrack were good given that tension of both relationships, is awesome the anime gives lot chibi moments that had some comedy moments.

So conclude best shojo of the winter season n sad is not receiving that Ai(loving) cause with the One Piece 2part announcement.

Shonen always gonna be king on this media.

Genuinely, how do people like this???? I'm normally a big fan of a good slow burn, but this is not it. Not even getting into the characters for now, the animation is terrible. Literally half of the animation is just still frames? Just panning images of the characters. The character designs themselves are also terrible. Pretty much everyone has disturbing, gigantic eyes, and almost all of them are the exact same unsettling yellow color. The hair styles are also very inconsistent- in one of the later episodes, the main character's hair changes styles and length throught every time we pan back to her. Also, the music is bland and disinteresting- did they just make 5 generic piano songs for the whole series and call it a day? Moving onto the characters, I do not know why people seem to like them so much. All of the characters are painfully stupid and oblivous, especially the main character, and the love interest comes off more as creepy in many scenes rather than romantic. I genuinely can't fathom how people like this so much, there are far better romance animes out there- save your time and watch something actually good.

Honey Lemon Soda is one of the best anime I have seen and I just can't understand how can people even rate it below 6.

Right from ep1, the art style and characters are so good. Uka's development as the story progresses is very admirable and Miura is a very interesting character and her caretaker as well. The other characters like Kanno Serina and Ayumi are wonderful as well. Not those typical generic characters but instead they have depth and are very relatable.

Some moments got me teary-eyed as well.. was very emotional to see someone who got bullied for 3 years to rise up and take a stand for herself. Both the OP song "Magic Hour" and the ED "Wonderful World" are beautiful masterpieces by &Team.

Trust me give this anime a shot and you would not regret it. Absolutely do not trust the overall rating coz idk why the heck are people judging this anime adaptation without clearly watching it. Yes it does start a little slow but trust me its an underrated masterpiece that you will surely enjoy!

I hopelessly fell in love with this anime. Wonder why it has low rating since this one is such a heart warming story. In my opinion it should get 8.

Although uka is the heroine she doesn't act like one always gives priority for others while overcoming her own challengers which is beautiful and what i expect from a heroine. And kai is like a price not an ordinary always saving the heroine one, but gives courage to the heroine to stand on her own feet. I really felt that.

Really glad that the created a anime from the original manga. Otherwise i would miss this story.

Since it got 13 eps and now over i'm looking forward to a second season where their love heads from here.
