Honey Lemon Soda

I felt like my heart was about to burst with every romantic moment between Kai and Uka! The show was sweet and heartwarming. It's refreshing to see characters who not only get along well but also have role models supporting others. This is the cutest anime ever! I truly hope they release another season-I was so disappointed when it ended. I recommend it to anyone who loves sappy anime love stories, as I'm not a fan of live-action romance shows and movies. The animation style was beautifully crafted, with vibrant colors and expressive character designs that perfectly captured the emotions of each scene. The soundtrack added an extra layer of charm, enhancing the tender moments with gentle melodies that lingered in your mind long after each episode ended.

The story's pacing was just right, allowing viewers to savor each heartfelt interaction without feeling rushed. The supporting characters added depth and humor, making the show a delightful ensemble of personalities that felt like old friends by the time the credits rolled.

With its combination of humor, sincerity, and charm, this anime is a must-watch for anyone looking to escape into a world where love triumphs over all obstacles. Here's hoping the creators hear our pleas and bring Kai and Uka back for more adventures and heart-fluttering moments! I just finished it and I just might watch it again!

(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.

First of all, i need to say that the german dub isn't the greatest - so watch it in Japanese if you want the best experience.

But after that, I really really enjoyed the anime. At first I was really skeptical how this turns out, but I still watched every episode. And after I binge watched all in one sitting, I can say, this romance anime is so heartwarming. Everytime there was even a little bit of affection I was giggling like a high-school girl again. The character development is great, and I'm really curious how the story is going to continue.

So if you want to watch a easy, and heartwarming romance anime, watch honey lemon soda!

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!

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.
