Koi wa Sekai Seifuku no Ato de

Fudou Aikawa and Desumi Magahara have just started dating, but no one is allowed to know! Nicknamed "Red Gelato," Fudou is the leader of "Gelato 5," a group of heroes dedicated to protecting Japan. On the other hand, the "Reaper Princess" Desumi is one of the combatant leaders of "Gekko," an evil secret society bent on world domination and considered Gelato 5's greatest foe. As they pretend to be mortal enemies, Fudou and Desumi sneak away from battle to spend time together.

Despite their inexperience with romance, Fudou and Desumi strive to make their relationship work while avoiding suspicion from their comrades. With their loyalties divided between each other and their respective sides, the couple will have to stay on guard if they want to keep their love a secret from the rest of the world.

Wow an anime that actually balances comedy and romance perfectly, and has many well-developed characters that aren't the main cast, instant 9.

This anime actually surprised me, because the premise isn't really something new; forbidden love. However, the way they executed it was well done and pretty funny.

So, the story focuses on the hero team Gelato 5 and the villain organization Gekko, like other romcoms with this formula, two people from the opposing sides fall in love, and the show focuses on how they develop as a couple and how they hide it from the public. I don't think this anime focuses on the story, It's ... more on enjoyment and character development. What elevates this show though, is the pure nonsense put into the world. Take the time where they confess to each other, fudo (male mc) knows about desumi (female mc), who's identity is supposed to be a secret, is through social media, lol. It was just so hilarious and it took me off guard, and that basically sets the tone for the story: a wacky romcom whos humor focuses on romantic situations in a dumb world, and I fucking dig it.

This show provides us with problems, new characters, all the stuff you need for a good story, and pulls it off in a really fun way. The art is nice , I don't remember seeing any drops in quality, and the character designs were cool. The sound, was full of different bgm that really set the mood of the scenes and I think it was pretty good.

The cast is full of interesting people and they all feel good to watch. The main couple bring healing to my soul. Desumi is a really well done character who feels real. Fudo, you could say is kinda one dimensional, and that does take away from the story a bit, how he's a dense dude that only values muscles and Desumi, and doesn't have much to deal with. However, I don't think this was a bad choice, as (imo) the show is really about Desumi, how being with fudo change her is a theme throughout the show. So, the fact that fudo doesn't have his own problems, all stem from their relationship, is not the worse choice. I do still think that they could've given him problems for desumi to fix, but to be fair, with the given amount of episodes, I don't think that was possible. Next, it the rest of the gelato 5, they also are pretty 1 dimensional and have one character trait that they stick with, but as I said, the show doesn't really focus on fudo the characters of the gelato 5 don't really matter as much. Then there is the princess series (basically the rest of the teenage girls who are in gekko), their characters are really nice to watch and feel real. How the show introduces new princesses and builds on the already existing princesses was really a treat to watch, not something you'd expect from an anime that centralizes on "dumb" humor. Lastly, there is the families of the main couple, and they seem to achieve their purpose, as problems/new friends and stuff.

This show was a blast and I can see people not liking this show, as both the comedy and romance aren't what you'd see in other shows of those respective genres. However, all I'll say is give this show a chance, the quality of each episode is really consistent, so watching the first few episodes can really give a feel for the show. I really enjoyed this show and would totally recommend it to people who like "dumb" humor, and yeah that's all. Great anime.

Mixed Feelings

Here is my recommendation before the review; just avoid losing time with ep 11.
What I like about this anime is that it aimed to be a simple romcom, and it delivered.
There was one obvious problem that almost every anime has lately, and a few small ones.
The obvious problem for me was that episode 11 shouldn’t exist, it was a terrible filler that makes us lose time.
Why not just make the anime shorter and have a great anime?
The other problems was that there were some lazy material xD. Also mc was a little too easy on some people,
the girl mc is dressed extra slutty for no ... reason, maybe I’m being naive here but idk, you guys tell me.
Lastly, why was one team named Gelato?
I still think it is a fine anime tho.

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

Err, I guess I'm at the point where I'm absolutely sick all of these generic rom-coms.

While people might complain about isekai's being omnipresent in a lot of shows, it being a direct mutation of the classical high fantasy novels and old school RPG games, people tend to forget the other tropes that have been around forever, like power rangers, or even stuff like Godzilla.

This show is comedy based on Super Sentai, or Power Rangers genre, and I still don't get why it even uses this trope. There's basically no meaning at all to using power rangers as the theme, as the story has nothing ... to do with them, other than the initial premise. It could have been another fantasy setting, or even just a normal medieval setting for how little the show interacts with the sentai theme.

Compare this to Kaijin Kaihatsu-bu no Kuroitsu-san, where they are still both comedies based on the power rangers/hero genere, yet look at the layers of interaction and worldbuilding that Kaijin Kaihatsu-bu no Kuroitsu-san does, that this show just does not bother with even attempting at doing. The power ranger theme isn't just thrown there, but it's actually developed. It shows how people get hired in villian organizations, how monsters get created, the relationship and rules between the villians and heroes are, and how these seemingly ridiculous organizations can function in modern society. Of course, this is all done with a comedic tone, but Kaijin Kaihatsu-bu no Kuroitsu-san definitely takes a lot of effort in developing a believable setting for the comedy to take place. If you want to actually watch something that takes the power rangers theme and does something with it, I highly recommend Kaijin Kaihatsu-bu no Kuroitsu-san.

That was a bit of a tangent, but this show basically has nothing going for it. Basically, it's just a rom-com. It's been done over and over again, but basically it's just a couple that's embarrassed about the smallest things, have misunderstandings, and also comedy that's generated from the interactions from the other characters. I have to say, comedy wise, I did not even come close to laughing or cracking a smile. You could argue that there wasn't even any comedy attempted in this show. Were there any jokes? Could these shitty setups even be called comedy? At least the romance exists. Not that it's any good. It's just giga cringe. Like haha, girl is embarrassed about holding hands despite wearing a glorified garter belt. Let's watch her fight in randomly low angles to get a good look at her garterbelt. Super funny!!

You have to give me a reason to like the characters. Like cool,. the Male lead and female lead are dating. So what? Their personality doesn't even exist. All you get is elemetary levels of "dating" and you're supposed to find their "embarrassment" funny? Relatable? Cute? No, it's just cringe. Get me out.
