Minha História de Amor com Yamada-kun Nível 999

She barely knows this dude and falls in love with him. There's no plot it's just playing a video game. The main love interest isn't even all that. Every other character was great and honestly she should've ended up with the guy with the glasses. Plus it was cringy to watch. AND the age difference? She's in her second year of uni but he's still in high school? I've watched some bad anime's but this one was just torture to watch. If i could rate this show lower i would. The main character was continuously embarrassing herself. DO NOT WATCH THIS FOR YOUR PEACE OF MIND AND SANITY! Next time turn on Kono oto tomare: the sounds of life because it has so much more substance. Thank me later x.

Wow, just... wow. I'm still reeling from the emotional rollercoaster that is Yamada-kun to Level 999 no Koi wo Suru. This show masterfully weaves together complex characters, relatable struggles, and a slow-burn romance that will leave you breathless. Yamada's transformation from apathetic teen to vulnerable romantic is raw and captivating, while Akane's kindness and dedication make her the perfect foil. Supporting characters like Nagi add much-needed comic relief and depth. Animation is stunning, but it's the honest portrayal of love and relationships that truly sets this show apart. Be prepared for an emotional ride - I ugly-cried multiple times! 10/10, can't wait for season 2.

My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 was a fun and short watch that is definitely a pleasing show. My biggest criticism is that this show show doesn't exactly do anything unique, and if you've seen a handful of romance animes already, you may feel the same. I think that's why I landed at a 7/10, but I still think its worth a watch. The characters are fun enough and you really care for what's going on, which cannot be said for other similar shows I've seen. I will say this show shares a shockingly close premise to Recovery of an MMO Junkie, which I like a little bit more than this. But regardless, I did have a good time watching this.

My Love Story With Yamada At Lv999 (Spring 2023)

This romance surprised me. I wasn't a fan of this anime at the start. It looked like a shallow romance, with a desperate main character and a heartless side character. The good-looking character designs didn't help either, given that I already thought the romance was shallow.

I was wrong though. This was actually a pretty good romance. I like anime that can change my opinion about them during the season.

I really liked learning more about both these characters and seeing them fall in love with each other. Especially Yamada, I was really surprised with how I view him as a character now, compared to how I viewed him when the show began. They did it pretty subtly too. Just like Akane, I realised that if Yamada doesn't smile that much, it just makes his rare smiles have a lot more meaning. I even grew fond of Akane's character and understood why she acts the way she does.

The anime had a very unconventional style of direction, with some very fast cuts during comedic sequences. That made the anime more charming. The side characters are really sweet too. And studio Madhouse did a pretty good job on the soundtrack and the animation in particular.

Is it perfect though? Not really. I think it's just a tad bit too slow. Not very slow but just a bit slow.

Towards the end, they introduced a love triangle. Now, I'm not a fan of love triangles. Rarely do I feel that they had a point in the story. One of these characters is always going to get their heart broken. And a viewer might grow fond of the third side of the triangle and end up losing some interest in the main romance. But at the same time you can't just treat characters as tools to become obstacles in your romance. So love triangles can always be always emotionally messy, for the viewers as well.

I thought this anime handled it fine. I still didn't like witnessing a very heartfelt story of the third character, but the triangle did give a push to the main romance and the character of Yamada.

Overall, I had a good time with this anime. It's a light-hearted wholesome romance. I hope it gets a season 2 (it probably will though).

Episodes 1-5 really kept me on my toes about what would happen with the character. It opens immediately with Ankane being dumped. She goes to an event where she knows he will be trying to dress nice and make her ex jealous of what he lost. However, things don't go according to plan and she almost embarrasses herself when she meets Yamada. She quickly begs him to pretend to be boyfriend. And thus begins their love story. There was a slow down with episodes 6-8 but it picked back up again for the last 9-13 episodes. Its pure character development and relationship building so if you want a lot of drama or surprises this isn't going to be the anime for you. For me the building of the relationship was so sweet I couldn't get enough. This is the second romance anime I have watched, the first being Horimiya, which I also adored.
