Tokimeki Memorial ~Only Love~ Episode 1

I had quite a bit of reservation about this series… It’s bad enough that they made the latest entry in the awesome TokiMemo series of dating sims an online multiplayer game (wtf I know), but now they even made an anime based on the MMO? It just sounded like one huge game advertisement…

Tokimeki Memorial

After watching the first episode, I’m happy to say that Tokimeki Memorial ~Only Love~ is not at all the cheap game advertisement I thought it would be! Recommended viewing for TokiMemo fans! Sayuri ftw!

Summary and screenshots after the jump~

Riku Aoba is a new transfer student at a private school that gives its students plenty of personal freedom with hilarious results. He ends up in the same class as Sayuri Amamiya, the school idol and the cover girl of Tokimeki Memorial Online. On the first day of school, he gets set up by the student council president, Haru Sakurai, and ends up having to run for his life from the entire male population of the school…

Long story short: Riku’s life is saved by a little yellow furball thingy that is supposedly a chick(?). Watch the first episode if you want to know just WTF is up with the kemonomimi on everyone’s head…

I have to say that I was not expecting much from this series at all, so I am quite pleasantly surprised to find the first episode to pretty decent. WAAAAAAAAY better than the horror that is Lovely Idol episode 1… (Let’s not speak of that again)

    What happened with lovedol? Any review for it? :/

  2. DarkMirage says:

    Lovedol…

    The songs (which were it’s only hope) suck.
    The animation sucks.
    The characters suck.
    The story (if it exists) sucks.

    I also have a hard time telling the girls apart because all Aoi Nishimata girls look the same!

    Mizuki was just about the only thing that caught my interest. If only she wasn’t voiced by Sakura Nogawa…

  3. EdogawaConan says:

    So… one down. While tokimemo is still on track? :/

  6. Migs says:

    Sayuri looks just like Tear Grants.

    The chick and the Chemistry Teacher won this episode.

  7. Hinano says:

    man and I thought I was the only one who thought LoveDoll sucked HARDDDDDD.. this show is awesome. that bird cracked me up XD

  8. moyism says:

    The chicken FTW. That thing ROCKED! Probably one of the few times I enjoyed a series having a animal mascot of sorts. There better be a plushie of that thing somewhere cause it’s just SO FRICKIN’ AWESOME.

    But yea, this version of Tokimemo was surprisingly pretty good since I didn’t know what I was coming in with. Lovedol on the other hand, not so much. Also shame I couldn’t recongize off bat like 1/2 of the well-known cast of lovedol :(

  25. Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive
    a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views.

    I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
