    I loved every minute of this series! It had me in stitches, I was laughing so much! Risa Koizumi and Atsushi Otani have such a comical relationship and yet from the beginning you are rooting for them to get together. The series also portrays the insecurities of a first relationship very accurately and I'm sure most people can relate. Unlike many other anime series', I didn't feel frustrated by the writing or the lack of progress. And, having listened to it in Japanese (and read English subtitles), I commend the voice actors for conveying the emotions portrayed on screen excellently! All in all a series well worth watching (and re-watching)!

    This is it - The Unbearable Lightness of Being in it's essence! Who said that it is hidden in ignorance and apathy? I fundamentally disagree with this statement and believe that the wings will acquire only those who want to know more, to be more proficient, who make their tries and don't afraid to make mistakes. Lovely Complex is anime about that kind of people - about children, the better people. All of us were better people when we were young.

    And this an amazing work of Japanese animation will help you to regain the sense of youth. The sense of time when you probably do not know anything about unpleasant sides of life, but you are pretty sure that life is bright and certainly beautiful, you only have to clear it up what it looks like. Very often this naive feeling is completely absent from our own real lives, and absence of it transforms them into a drab existence.

    Lovely Complex softens the soul so touching and tender that you won't notice the change in yourself immediately. But you will, because all of us, without exception, are familiar with the feelings experienced by the main characters. At least all human beings, who tend to doubt no less than for breathing. And it will make you want to fly because of how easily, gracefully and sincerely these feelings are showing.

    It will make you want to return to your 15-16-17, cross out the date of birth in the passport, wake up finally from the day-numbing mercantile wheel of fortune, breathe the smell of fireworks, wake up in the mornings cheerfully and happily with the thoughts of your friends, not abominable routine.

    Everything written above doesn't mean that Lovely Complex is recommended only for those who are looking for oblivion, euphoria and youthful absolute-maximum happiness. Oh, no, this anime will stole your peace, you will want to experience all at once, to discover life in new ways. It will awake you for life, sharpen your feelings and bestow an impulse to regain those subtle ephemeral moments that fill our lives with meaning, those moments which true value we can appreciate only after a while. And no matter how many of them you will find in your past, it won't be enough. That's why just the thought of being sitting within four walls alone in front of flickering monitor will cause you at least a heartburn.

    Yes, despite the fact that the complex is 'lovely', it will reward you with a great motivating kick up the backside. Because it is absolutely impossible not to fall in love with the main characters. It is impossible not to reconsider your retrograde views on school anime genre. It is impossible not to forgive mistakes of the industry. Lovely Complex redeems the sins of the genre by its very existence, soothes, sets a peaceful mood and increases the number of smiles in the world - it is 100% impracticable not to smile while watching. Your lips will break into a smile because of what you'll see on the screen - absurdity; humor; foolishness, that comes not from stupidity, but from despair; courage that comes from a hopelessness; the first love; trembling hamstrings; thrill of the heart - all of us went through this, but not everyone managed to keep a joy of discovery. But don't be confused by the words written above, this one is that rare case when rose-colored sentiments will not cause you an allergic reaction - it is impossible to have allergic to yourself!

    This work is light and easy, but at the same time it is stubborn and persistent as the inner voice, which repeats 'Everything will be fine'. And it certainly will, if you won't sit idly by. Lovely Complex contains one simple well-defined thought - unenterprising persons will lose. Always. For the love you have to struggle. For the sake of the friendship you have to be ready for anything.

    The authors invented the real time machine, which allows to re-experience the long-forgotten feelings, this travel could be bit painful (yes, unfortunately time doesn't have reverse direction), but it is so comprehensive, so sincere and plausible. And you love, and you believe, and all this is just because of some anime about Japanese teenagers... What is it if not a real magic?

    Please, stay the better people.

    I honestly loved Risa and Otani! They were always getting on each others nerves like an old married couple and like it was pure hilarious to hear them say rubbish to each other! The comedy was pretty funny and the romance was just adorable! I give this anime a 8/10!

    The simply premise of a tall girl falling in love for a short guy is unique and interesting, this anime is from 2007 so that explains it hasn't the best animation but the magic comes from the amazing and lovely characters, even the friends of the mains characters are really cool, it's really fun anime and with all the faces that the characters do I was laughing so hard the whole time.

    Definitely highly recommended even if you don't like anime in general but like romantic comedies.
