xXfilthycasualXx★ 9tldr; this is a moe anime and it makes you feel moe well, so it's good. 9/10. This anime ain't gonna make you feel. It ain't gonna make you be amazed with intricate story plots and heart wrenching scenes. This ain't that type of anime. It's a moe anime. If you're looking to say "d'awww" and be smiling while watching these two lovebirds be shy and cute, this is the anime for you! Don't listen to the other reviews where they rate it badly because of the lack of story or they don't find an intricate plot where there's not meant to be any. This anime ismeant to make you smile and have a good time with the moe, and it does that exceedingly well.
MetaThPr4h★ 6You know this type of anime that are so cute that one can't help but say "awww, this is adorable!"? Momokuri is one of it's finest examples. Yuki Kurihara is a girl that is absolutely obssesed with Momo, mainly just because he's extremely cute due to his short height and a bit girly looking, calling Yuki a stalker doesn't make justice to her character, she knows everything about him: what he does, what he likes and dislikes... all before they start their relationship during the first seconds of the anime and without him knowing about it. While this might look creepy and the perfect concept for ayandere anime, Momokuri focuses in the cute parts of this, and gives us a lighthearted, happy, and absolutely adorable romance between this two characters. The side characters are also pretty good and represent well and realistically their paper of friends of the main duo. Both art and pretty average, but fit well with the anime, special mention to the opening of the TV version, that I personally like a lot. If you enjoy lighthearted SoL romances, or you're simply attracted to the "cute stalker girl" that Yuki is, Momokuri is totally worth the try.
