Tomo-chan is a Girl" is a masterpiece! I laughed, cried, and cheered for the lovable characters. Tomo-chan's determination and Jun's awkwardness make for a perfect pair. But Carole, oh Carole! Her sweet nature and heartbreaking moments had me invested. The movie's focus on friendships and romance was beautiful. If I have any complaints, it's that it ended too soon! I wanted more of Tomo-chan's antics, Jun's adorableness, and Carole's sweetness. A must-watch for a heartwarming, hilarious, and sometimes tear-jerking ride. This is one of the anime that deserves a season 2 especially for supporting characters like Carole.
Tomo Aizawa is very much a tomboy. She is also in love with Junichiro, a boy she has been friends with since childhood. One day she plucks up the courage to tell him but he misunderstands, it doesn't cross his mind that she meant it romantically rather than as friends. She persists in trying to get him to see her as more than just a friend but things never seem to go her way.
I thought this series was a lot of fun. There are plenty of laughs to be had in every episode. The characters are solid, as well as Tomo and Junichiro there is Misuzu, Tomo's sadistic friend and Carol, a bubbly girl of British ancestry. The character designs are good; I like the fact that Tomo is in no way androgynous; so the fact that she is a girl isn't disputed, it is just her tomboyish behaviour. Overall a really fun series that I'd certainly recommend to any anime fan looking for a good laugh.

This is my favorite show of the year! For starters, the comedy is great and guaranteed to make you laugh. The story was originally told in a 4-panel comic format, so there is no shortage of little gags and punchlines. But don't get the wrong idea, the show is able to dive into characters backgrounds, their thoughts and feelings, show their strengths and flaws. We get to see characters have significant character development as they learn about themselves and others and reflect on their mistakes.
It is refreshing to have a story where you aren't shouting at the screen, "Just tell him/her how you feel! Just say it!" (Not a spoiler, it's the opening scene/premise for the show) In the very first opening scene, Tomo confesses her love for Jun, but Jun friendzones her. So instead of the "should I tell him/her" "I want to tell him/her" narrative, it instead is about how Tomo is trying to be more girly to get Jun to notice her as more than "one of the guys" or "bro."
I greatly enjoyed the beautiful animation. Every scene, background, object, and of course character is beautifully drawn. I have listened to the English dub, and the voice acting was great and really brought the characters to life. I will be rewatching the series in Japanese with English subtitles soon.
I really enjoyed this anime, and I think you will too. Give it a try!

Do you know what it means to be "friend zoned"? Tomo was put in the friend zone after confessing to Junichirou Kubota, her crush. He sees her as a friend, but Tomo wants him to see her as a girl. To tell the truth, there's a pretty good explanation for that. For you see, Tomo represents the definition of a tomboy, yet she's a girl.
The anime's title literally means what it says. At least in a literal sense, Tomo Aizawa is a girl. She finds it distressing that Jun perceives her as a man at all times. The show, which is based on the 4-koma, mostly uses a romantic comedy storytelling style with lots of jokes and funny scenes. Considering how lightly the anime is handled, the fan service is something you shouldn't ignore. The main objective of the anime is to make Jun and the viewers understand that Tomo is a girl and not the tomboy that everyone thinks her to be.
Though I haven't worked on anime much, viewers shouldn't be too concerned with fan service, as I previously stated. I'm not too familiar with the author. Their real concern should be whether Tomo will ever move on from his friendship with Jun or remain in it indefinitely. With Tomo's naive confession, the play also taught me the importance of first impressions. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of romantic comedies in which it takes the whole season to determine whether or not a pair works out. Nevertheless, I overlooked this anime because it's the fundamental idea of the program, and each episode introduces fresh situations and character stories.
Although Lay-Duce's repertoire hasn't left a lasting mark on the public, I can state with certainty that this is their best to date. Vibrant colors and logical phrases are used in the creation of character designs. They frequently react in a cartoonish way when they're surprised or anxious. Tomo is the primary offender due of her infatuation with Jun. But Misuzu is someone we shouldn't ignore because she always has that sinister, wicked expression on her face. What's perhaps most noticeable, though, is how Tomo is dressed in each episode. I find it quite entertaining that the anime seems to be experimenting with how much of a girl she can appear like.
The kind of animation that its fan base has long desired to see is Tomo-chan Is A Girl!, and it has finally materialized. Not 'if, but when' was the pertinent question here. And the moment is here. We have a show here that has delighted viewers from the very beginning and has adhered faithfully to its plot for the whole run. Even though it didn't completely copy the original material, it used its magic to create a compelling plot and colorful array of characters. Indeed, Tomo-chan is a Girl! Is a show worth seeing. Indeed, Tomo is unquestionably a girl. All Jun has to do is accept it.

(14+) Not a bad series, and I actually binged it in two days. Every character was well done, even the supporting ones. The female protagonist was sweet and sensitive, but also burly, aggressive, and quick to strike the male protagonist! So, some of the conflict scenes between the two love interests was a bit off-putting (and made me wonder how they could both forgive each other after some of their rumbles!) A bit too much over the top for me, but other than that it is a solid series and worth the watch!
