Is a series that to me right from the get-go was an absolute train wreck. The series presentation is by far the absolute worst I have seen for an ecchi series.

At first I gave the series a 3/10

but when I got to the second half the series, this series had romantic elements that were better than most ecchi series. Almost something I would see in the Excellent Kimikiss Pure Rogue.

The Adjusted score ended up being a 5/10 for these "done right" elements.

Rating this series was one of the biggest headaches I have ever had rating a series. the actual romance was good, but the ecchi factor is by far the worst I have ever seen. (Worst ecchi I've seen, but at the same time good romantic plots occasions)

Literally over half the episodes (really half-episodes) were pure fanfare. If they redid the series without most of this fan-service (especially omitting that perverted Club Sensei) the series could have a chance. Perhaps allow him to actually choose one of the girls.
I'm rooting towards, Taoju, but they could match him with the mean girl introduced in the end, so he isn't with any of the 4 girls in the series.

I didn't care much for Ichigo 100% either. I do recommend checking out Hatsukoi Limited from the same manga author though if you haven't already, as that plays a bit closer to Kimikiss (in that there is little to no ecchi and also featured multiple relationships).

I do still get that dern "Ike Ike!" ending theme stuck in my head though. I blame Vengaboys

As far as the girl selection goes. I'm actually happy they didn't get that far in the anime. In the manga he goes with spoiler[Nishino] which was probably the worst choice of all the girls.

A couple times I felt like they should have pulled a "School Days" on him for not choosing. At least in the Anime.

Don't get me wrong, I like Ecchi, because its something for me to relax to and laugh at when I want to take a break from a serious series. This series however was an absolute pain to watch.

I think it had a bit of origanility, but in the end it was one of dozen similiar animes. It's successor Hatsukoi Limited, is superior in almost every way. Ichigo 100% did have a good opening and ending theme though.

I felt the opposite I felt it went into fan-service land from the get-go.
The moment I saw a perverted spoiler[Sensei sexually harassing 2 teenage girls along with one of the girls asking for sex] in the same episode, I knew the series wasn't gonna accomplish much. Well actually before that even, with the behavior of the male characters in the first episode really dug the grave of this series.
It's a good thing I rate OAVs and Specials separate from the anime. To me the Special that was released before the series was not to bad for ecchi, so I gave the special a 6. The series as I said above I gave a 5. Then for the OAV however I gave a 3 for it's endless fail. It was as bad the "Akikan" OAV.

I was severely let down by the anime. I read the manga and loved it. Just recently, I was given the anime as a present and had very high expectations. It's just bad. This did not capture the spirit of the manga at all and for several episodes I haven't even laughed once. Extremely disappointing.

I was expecting a lot more from the show. I watched the whole series, but i was never really anxious about the next episode. Also, I agree with how the ecchi was horrible. Maybe the worst ecchi ever seen to be honest. Also, the ending wasn´t really an ending either, it was just a stop in the middle of the series which really annoyed me.
