The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague

(10+) This could have been SO much better! Opportunity after opportunity to "right the ship" just by halving, or even quartering, his frozen blizzards and self-icing! How many times did we need to see it? Of course, it's completely unrealistic in that his snow comes, it goes, leaving nothing... but some of the episodes had him blizzarding ten times! It was ridiculous. The animation was gorgeous, too, so it's a shame. The romance went pretty much nowhere even though in one episode they held hands but then seemed to regress. WTH? It made no sense. Also, the last episode was kind of a train wreck and creepy. Unfortunately, pass on this one.

This was a simple sweet romance with a likeable couple, some nice side characters and an interesting supernatural environment. That being said it loses its steam after a few episodes. Because there's nothing new that the story has to offer other than the usual gimmicks between the couple. And the interesting side characters (like Saejima and Komori) aren't given that much progress. So it was fine in the end. It's wholesome and sweet for sure, but it got a bit boring after a while. And I thought that the main 2 characters - Himuro and Fuyutsuki were likeable for sure, but they could have had some more depth to them.

The animation was very nice though and so were the character designs.

I like the voice actor of Himuro too - Chiaki Kobayashi, I think he's a rising star and he'll get many major roles in the future, as we've seen in Tomodachi Game as well.

The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague is a delightful story that weaves humor, romance, and a touch of magic into an everyday office setting. The tale follows Himuro-kun, a modern-day descendant of the Yuki-onna, whose emotions inadvertently influence the weather around him. This charming quirk leads to unexpected weather events, from sudden snowstorms to gentle flurries, depending on his mood. His colleague, Fuyutsuki-san, is the calm and collected counterbalance to his frosty demeanor.

Their interactions are filled with warmth and gentle humor, as Fuyutsuki-san navigates the chilly surprises that come with working alongside Himuro-kun. As the two grow closer, they discover that their differences complement each other perfectly. The story beautifully captures the nuances of their blossoming friendship and potential romance, set against the backdrop of office life and the gentle magic that accompanies Himuro-kun's presence. With each chapter, readers are drawn into their world, eager to see how their relationship unfolds and how they overcome the whimsical challenges posed by Himuro-kun's unique abilities.

I watched it with my wife since we both enjoy clean anime rom coms. At first, it was hard to latch onto because the main characters seemed a bit robotic and hard to relate to. I wasn't sure if I would be able to last beyond the first episode. However, this first impression did not last.

There is a good variety of different characters, and they each have solid depth/complexity. In short, they are all hilarious together and have a unique work dynamic that is refreshing for American culture. I would recommend giving the first two episodes a shot so that you can get a good feel of the characters in the show. From there you can decide if it's the right show for you, but I'm eagerly waiting for another season. I also like to rewatch the show to have something calm and interesting on while I settle down for bed.
