YMMV / Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove it

• Adorkable: Himuro and Yukimura are a pair of university students with zero romantic experience trying to scientifically prove whether or not they're actually in love with one another. Early experiments include measuring heart rate during a Wall Pin of Love and finding the ideal angle of chin lift.
• Audience-Alienating Ending: The final episode of season 2 of the anime adaptation goes for a Drama Bomb Finale that invokes Mood Whiplash to and from the lighthearted comedic tone of the rest of the anime, which has disappointed a lot of viewers.
• Awesome Music: The first season's ED, Turing Love, is a catchy duet made even catchier with the dance in its chorus. It's popular enough to get covered frequently by Youtubers long after the anime finished airing.
• Base-Breaking Character: Kanade. Some can sympathize with her and her situation. Others find her I Just Want to Be Normal obsession too far-fetched and annoying. And then there's the controversial Season 2 finale.
• Funny Moments:
  • The Ikeda lab's cosplay cafe employs the work of professional makeup artists to help the main cast. Yukimura is dolled up and put in drag, and is surprisingly attractive — something that frightens both him and Kousuke.
  • Kousuke, in a tuxedo, is approached by Ibarada and Yamamoto, both in wedding dresses. Kousuke would normally be excited as it's a scenario right out of his eroge... but he can't ignore their true personalities.
  • After Ibarada catches up to Kousuke while still in costume, they get mistaken for a couple about to be wedded and have to play out the part. While Ibarada recites her vows a marching band stops by and plays the Wedding March to embarrass Kousuke even more.
• Genius Bonus: The series does take some time to explain several scientific processes and terminology to the layman, but every now and then it slips in a reference without breaking it down.
  • The final shot of episode 12 ends with a mathematical formula engraved on Yukimura's new glasses case. Map it out, and it draws a heart.
  • The Lucky Charms Title for season 2 of the anime is a quadratic equation that also draws a heart, as the opening sequence demonstrates.
• Ho Yay: In order to have control samples, and rule out Himura and Yukimura being an exceptional case, all five members of the lab periodically get paired up and tested. Kosuke and Yukimura gets teased out more than any Les Yay example, despite having only 2 guys to 3 girls.
• Nightmare Fuel: In spite of the massive Broken Base it caused, the Season 2 finale is still pretty horrifying to watch due to Kanade nearly being gang-raped by Shikijou and his cohorts.
• Older Than the Demographic: This series is published in a Shōnen magazine, implying the intended reader are under the age of 18, probably high schoolers. The cast itself is made up of college students and faculty, all of which older than 18.
