Why should you watch Ramen Daisuki Koizumi San?
The story is Fair (6). There’s nothing fancy about the story. It’s about a girl obsessed with ramen being stalked by her classmate who is obsessed with her. And a ton of useful? facts about ramen, its history, and how to enjoy it best.
Art is Very Good (8). I say very well but not in the character department but in how they animate ramen in the story. Each ramen dish is distinct from one another from the color and texture of the soup and noodles to the side dishes that go along with them.
The sound is Very Good (8). It is due to how it induces the feeling that you are in whatever restaurant Koizumi and her classmates dine for a bowl or two of ramen. Additionally, the sound they make while and after finishing a bowl of ramen is hunger-inducing. Moreover, the parts wherein things get a bit emotional, have a very nice melody in them that I love to listen to.
Characters are Good (7). I like the cold and nonchalant character of Koizumi, she was made to stand out in the story as she is the main character who devours bowl after bowl of ramen. The other characters are just fairly there to decorate and make Koizumi stand out in the show. They are very straightforward.
I enjoyed watching all 12 episodes of Ramen Daisuki Koizumi san, and I always look for anything ramen like to eat while or after watching each episode. So please take this as a warning if you decide to binge-watch this anime.
In connection to the statement above, I believe that it has done its purpose well which is to make us crave, learn, and love one of the dishes Japan is popular for; Ramen!
7 bowls of shoyo ramen out 10.
