English Dub Season Review: Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It Part Two

We return for the latter half, or rather third, of the season. With the world still in the grips of a deadly plague, it can be hard to find love, but good thing this series is here to lighten that load! Thankfully, these four episodes work as their own piece to cover as they are a four part story that leads to the end of the season. The research team travels to a summer training camp in Okinawa in order to show off some of the group’s research, but that also means plenty of opportunities for Yukimura and Himuro to continue their own investigations into their budding feelings for each other. Will these two nerds finally get past all the equations and theories to find that love is beyond all those things? Yeah, probably. But I’d say watch it anyway.

Seeing as this is part of the same season I reviewed awhile back, the same issues apply to these four episodes as the last four. It’s clearly a very cheaply made show, so the animation looks pretty flat and stale. This is fine as long as the story is solid, though while the premise is still a novel and cute one. The way that Yukimura and Himuro keep dancing around their own feelings makes for a good A-plot, but as the story progresses, we learn Kosuke and Kanade’s passions and flaws that come to a head and show the true theme of the series: that your true passion is always valid, regardless of whether it seems silly. And naturally, the climax of the two main love interests having a misunderstanding is a bit cliché, but their usual over-analyzing adds the unique flavor that makes this what it is.

There’s not as much to say about this part of the season due it being just a third and only half as long as the previous part. And I understand that the only reason that we are receiving the season in this way is because of global events outside of our control, not any artistic purpose on behalf of the writers. But this four episode arc caps off a rather fun and likely underrated series about understanding each other is just as important as being educated about the world around us. Hopefully it won’t take you multiple thesis papers to understand your next date, but if it does, you’ll have this show to thank if you need a hand in reading them.
