This show is one of the few romance shows that don't get stuck up on the pre-relationship part but actually focuses mostly on actual love and care within an actual relationship. there is a lot of depth to this show as well as having a truly heartwarming charm. Every episode I feel like smiling and laughing, it is truly well made in that sense. This is a great show, and I think it is a truly great show if you can relate to some of the feelings and dilemmas going on, like I myself can.

This is the story of the romance between two teenagers. It is so sweet as to make your teeth hurt and so funny as to have you in loud long heartfelt belly laughs. This show just makes me happy. It's says a lot about friendship and love, but it's not super deep or complex. Its lack of complexity isn't a bad thing. It is a simple story, but it is uplifting and sometimes that is all you need.

This show is one of the best that I've ever come across. its slow, its well paced, it has lovable characters and it doesn't take too long with its conflicts, and resolves them in realistic ways. relationships are portrayed accurately, which is very difficult to find in modern media.

every character is very likable and does everything to add to the story and make it interesting. the conflicts themselves are also surprisingly realistic as well. Two things that were especially huge surprises to me. one, the fact that this was an anime that felt like a genuine love story, and is grounded in reality. i haven't seen too much anime ill admit, but this is the first time I'm seeing one this grounded. second, i don't hate a single character. yeah, this is a personal quip, but every show i love, i hate or at least dislike at least one character. thats not the case here. every character is wonderful and memorable, and I'm glad I'm happy it broke my record. all in all, highly recommend, especially if u like romance or slow natural stories.

(10/10) An adorable romance anime that is everything you want it to be. About a highschool freshman and his struggle to navigate his live life. A very funny anime with a surprising amount of action. One of my favorite animes of all time!

It's cute little chubby body, it's little paws, twitching a little as it sleeps. And then it wakes up just long enough to yawn and give a little squeak in that adorable-yawning-puppy way. If you find that very cute, then imagine the essence of that image in your head being an entire 24 episodes long of feel-good cuteness. Because it does not get ANY cuter than this show!!

Ore Monogatari, also known as "My Love Story," is a delightful anime series that brings a refreshing twist to the romance genre. From its unique storyline to its endearing characters, this heartfelt tale captures the essence of pure love and friendship, making it a must-watch for fans of all ages.

The story revolves around the unlikely romance between Takeo Gouda, a towering and muscular high school student with a heart of gold, and Rinko Yamato, a sweet and shy girl who captures Takeo's heart at first sight. What sets Ore Monogatari apart from other romantic anime is its emphasis on unconventional beauty and the power of inner qualities over physical appearances.

One of the anime's strengths lies in its characters. Takeo Gouda, the protagonist, is a lovable and selfless character who constantly puts others before himself. His unwavering loyalty and determination to protect those he cares about make him an endearing and relatable hero. Rinko Yamato, on the other hand, embodies the innocent and pure-hearted girl-next-door archetype, with her genuine kindness and sincere affection for Takeo. Their interactions are both heartwarming and humorous, as they navigate the challenges of young love with unwavering support for each other.

The supporting characters in Ore Monogatari also shine, adding depth and comedic relief to the story. Takeo's best friend, Makoto Sunakawa, provides a contrasting personality to Takeo, with his cool and collected demeanor. His friendship with Takeo is a highlight, showcasing the true meaning of loyalty and understanding. The anime beautifully explores the themes of friendship, self-acceptance, and the importance of seeing beyond surface-level appearances.

Visually, Ore Monogatari maintains a bright and vibrant art style, perfectly complementing the cheerful and optimistic tone of the series. The animation is crisp and fluid, effectively conveying the characters' emotions and the charming atmosphere of the story. The soundtrack is equally enjoyable, featuring catchy tunes that enhance the romantic and comedic moments.

The pacing of the anime is well-balanced, allowing for character development and the exploration of various relationship dynamics. The series effortlessly blends heartwarming moments with light-hearted comedy, providing a delightful viewing experience for its audience.

In conclusion, Ore Monogatari is a heartwarming anime that stands out with its unique approach to love and relationships. With its lovable characters, uplifting storylines, and themes of self-acceptance and genuine connection, this series has the power to touch the hearts of viewers of all ages. Whether you're a fan of romance or simply seeking a feel-good anime, Ore Monogatari is a must-watch that will leave you with a smile on your face and warmth in your heart.

I'm really not a fan of romance in any medium, but this one is very good. It well written and cute with strong characters. The animation is also very good. My problem is that its not very interesting. Other than the romance, there really isn't much going on and its honestly kind of boring. If you like romance you will love this, but if you need more in a story, then you aren't going to find it here.

This was very enjoyable to watch. Although the two "in love" Takeo and Yamato were cute, I really wanted more from Suna (the gorgeous best freind). Suna said the funniest comments and I wanted to see more of him. In fact, I thought it would have been hilarious if he was also in love with Takeo. But no luck. If you want to see a sweet (first love) story with all the awkwardness that comes with it, then this anime is for you.

MY LOVE STORY (Ore Monogatari) (2015) was a super funny and sweet romantic shoujo anime, and not one that I might typically be drawn to or one that follows my general viewing habits. But, likeable all the same!

"A pretty young girl and a sweet but plain-looking boy fall in love. Will their relationship prevail?"

It follows the blooming romance of two unlikely high schoolers, as they meet each other and fall in love. A sweet show with some exceptionally hilarious moments.

This anime series was certainly unexpectedly funny and sweet. Not what you might think you're going to watch but one that makes you want to watch further. A cute show!

This shows is about Takeo, a 16 year old hogh school who falls in love with a girl, but will she fall on love with him? Going into this show, I knew what I was expecting. A simple slice of life romance. And that is what I got. What I wasn't expecting was it to be very funny. I love how certaim characters take simple, ordinary things EXTREMELY serious, like their lofe dependong on it. Takeo does this alot and is possibly one of thw funniest male protagonist I hace seen in a while. Suna is his best friend who all the girls fancy, which is the exact opposite to Takeo, who is always not respect by girls. But along come, Rinko, an EXTREMELY, maybe too far , cute girl. The relationship she has with Takeo is just quirky, awkard, strange, but adorable. The other characters are also decent in the show. Visually, the character designs look pretty basic and blabd, except for Takeo. The background colours and designs, however loom really nice and have this warmth to it. My issues with the sbow is that it's far too nice, and not enough conflict. My problems with the show is definitely the writing. It is just so sickly sweet. It's like you have eaten far too much of an EXTREMELY sweet chocolate. It sometimes makes you gag, I suppose that's it. To be honest, I'm not sure if I should recommend this. It really isn't for me, but if you lime sweet cookie xutter romamces, this is for you.
