English Dub Review: Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It r=1-sinθ “Science-types Fell in Love, So They Tried Getting Married”

Overview:

At the Mutsumi Festival, Kosuke and the others debate the relationship between wearing wedding dresses and the age at which a person gets married. Yamamoto, with her thirties closing in on her and also due to pressure from her parents, relentlessly proposes marriage to Kosuke. After outrunning Yamamoto, Kosuke turns to look back and finds Ibarada standing there wearing a wedding dress. When a child asks, “Aren’t you getting married?” Ibarada and Kosuke reply by… Meanwhile, Kanade, who had been looking around the Mutsumi Festival with Shikijou, coldly turns away from Yukimura and tells Shikijou that she doesn’t know him.

Our Take:

Just to be clear by awful I don’t mean that a part in the episode was awful but what is happening to Kanade is awful. But we will get to that, first I want to lead with the good stuff. Like Ibarada cosplaying as a bride and Kosuke cosplaying as a groom. I mean what are the odds? I’ll be honest I haven’t been the biggest fan of Yamamoto but her little push to make those two kiss was awesome and a welcome surprise. Plus, we got to see Ibarada isn’t as cool and composed as we thought. I am super invested in them getting together.

I am not super invested in Kanade and Shikijou anymore. Why? Because he is a typical creep! Kanade was surprised herself when she told him no but his reaction was uncalled for. It was essentially entitled guy 101. At first, I felt bad for him but it sure is crazy how quickly you can change your mind about a character. Normally I would be worried because he had full-blown crazy eyes and he and Kanade are alone. But luckily she has been acting “normal” around him and he doesn’t know she has a black belt. Kanade is going to be alright I guarantee it.
