So what did we think of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.animelondon.org\/wiki\/Koori_Zokusei_Danshi_to_Cool_na_Douryou_Joshi\">The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague<\/a>?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Rom-com involving supernatural creatures in a contemporary setting. A young graduate starting her first job in the workforce at an office. Has a black cat with white whiskers. She meets an ice spirit coworker, and slowly a bond develops. The ice spirit outwardly exhibits his emotions with manifestations of snow weather for comedy purposes. I&#8217;d say it&#8217;s mainly targeted towards young women, but the show is quite charming and laid back for casual viewing too. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s as good as &#8220;The Princess Next Door Spoils Me Rotten&#8221; from this season, but it&#8217;s got its own style, and comes at romance from an older age bracket. The character designs are a bit plain in comparison to the backgrounds.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>&#8230; Mr. G<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This is a very slow paced show. That isn&#8217;t necessarily a bad thing, if the world or characters are being established, but it felt like the show was going out of its way to put the viewer to sleep. Normally I&#8217;m okay with slice of life style shows, but this is slower than I normally see. There are some good points to the premise and story, but it would have to pick up a bit to keep my interest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>&#8230; Braden<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Off beat comedy. Being Josei comedy as oppose to shounen, saves us from the hijinks typical of anime rom-coms. Didn&#8217;t expect the kitsune being thrown into the mix but Japanese yokai in a real world setting is an unexpected bonus to this series. If you&#8217;re looking for something different, give this series a go.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>&#8230; Michael Eh?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Check out the new shows of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.animelondon.org\/wiki\/Anime_Shows_-_2023#Winter\">Winter 2023<\/a> season!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.animelondon.org\/wiki\/Anime_Shows_-_2023#Winter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.animelondon.org\/wiki\/images\/2\/20\/Banner-winter2016.jpg\" alt=\"Anime Shows - Winter 2023\" width=\"600\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Valentine&#8217;s Day, we watched a trio of RomComs.
