Lovely Complex Complete Series

What a great show. My husband and I both loved it, which tells you something about the quality, since my husband is not normally into shojo anime! We've rewatched several episodes as well. The main characters are both really likable. Of all the anime shows I've watched, this is the only one where I could see the couple actually being happy together long-term. The story is hilarious, but you still really feel for the characters and identify with them.

Besides the fact that the series itself is phenomenal, the discs were all in great condition and the translation could be easily understood. It's noticeable, but forgivable, that the translations use Ms. Mrs. and Mr. to replace words like sensei, sempai and other Japanese honorifics. They use this part of translating rather loosely in order to try and convey to an English speaking person what it means in Japanese, and for their part, they do a fine job of it. All of the episodes were there and both the picture and sound quality were exceptional. Although there are no special features, it is still a great DVD set for anyone looking for the entire Lovely Complex series.

Lovely Complex is a romantic comedy that is mainly focused on two people: Risa Koizumi, a teenage girl who's taller than most girls and swears that she will never fall in love with a guy who's shorter than her, and Atsushi Otani, a teenage boy who's shorter than most boys and doesn't want a tall girlfriend who reminds him just how short he is. The two are thrown together by their teacher to be the class reps since their teacher thought it would be funny to put a tall girl and a short boy together. They become a comedy duo who constantly bicker and get laughed at by their classmates. Even though they have their differences, the two find that they share some interests and start to become good friends. The comedy duo will later encounter many problems together. The start of their problems will be mixed feelings and misunderstandings. Lovely Complex is the first shojo anime that I ever finished watching and it is also one of my favorite shojo animes. What I like about Lovely Complex is that it's funny, dramatic, and heartwarming. The faces that the characters make and the things they do are really hilarious! All the characters in Lovely Complex are likable, even the ones that are supposed to be enemies. Like many shojo animes, Lovely Complex has it's serious moments. One thing I really like about Lovely Complex is that there is a nice balance of comedy and drama. Since Lovely Complex follows the characters throughout their high school years, you get to see the characters go through changes. You also get to watch the bond between Risa and Otani strengthen and turn into something wonderful. Besides the main couple's relationship, you also get to see two other couples in the series: the spunky Nobu and sporty Nakao as well as the studious Chiharu and shy Suzuki. What I find heartwarming about this anime are those little moments between the couples that project just how much they like each other. I especially like at the start of the series when you could see the warmth that Risa and Otani have for each other during those little moments even before they realize their special feelings. I would recommend Lovely Complex to anyone who wants to watch a sweet romantic comedy with themes of accepting yourself, friendship, and growing up. I'd also like to mention that Lovely Complex is a 24 episode anime and it is also a manga with 17 volumes and a 1 volume spin-off manga. Also, Lovely Complex has a live action spin-off movie. The movie sometimes strays from the actual plot, but it's just as funny and sweet as the original anime and manga.

i love this product! lovely complex is a great show and im happy to own it! the DVD came fast and it was in good condiction, yaknow, new. and the box was good, i hate it when all of the dvd's are on one little ring like in the clannad box sets's so it was nice how each DVD got its own 'ring' to put it in. iv watched two of the 4 DVD's that came with this and it is great so far. the subs are nice, so im pritty sure this isn't pirated or anything. i havent seen any cermercails yet, but they might be on the last DVD.

My expectations were high for this boxset when I saw it up for sale, and largely, I was not disappointed. The picture and sound quality are amazing. The anime, itself, of course, is beyond funny and adorable. The anime, is all around, five stars in my mind and absolutely perfect. I do have a couple cons, however, which led me to give this product only four stars, reluctantly (the picture and sound quality really are amazing). First of all, the boxset arrived with three of the four discs loose within the box, which meant they got scratched repeatedly by the DVD holder, unfortunately. Thankfully, after wiping the discs off a couple of times (even though the scratches remained), the discs played through just fine. The translation for this boxset was confusing. For example, if a certain statement was said a couple of times, it was sometimes translated different, especially with insults. At other times, if the characters clearly said something completely different, the delivered translation repeated the phrase used directly before. This only happened a few times, but became more glaring once I noticed it. More importantly, for parents, the translation was more vulgar than necessary as well, utilizing curse words that aren't actually being used by the characters. I'm no Japanese Major, but I was able to notice it when the translation for stupid/moron (kansai dialect), was translated in a few parts as stupid/moron, and then translated into the "A-word" in one of the episodes. Their arbitrary/incorrect translating was a bit irritating, and I would never want my kids to watch this innocent anime, with these kinds of translations.

It's such a cute and down to earth story. I really liked watching it and it's super funny. All and all I was very happy with it. And if you like love stories I highly recommend this one. It is not dubbed, but I dont mind watching anime subbed or dubbed😁

I absolutely adore this series. It is so charming. I do find on re-watching it that Otani is bit of a black box for me. Why exactly is he so reluctant to go out with her? But then again, there you go, he is a boy! Of course he acts nuts, don't try to figure it out Risa Koizumi (小泉リサ, lit. meaning "little spring) just keep going and true love will maybe be even enough to overcome the great disparities in your height. Ah, I love the heroine, I love it when she just picks him up and says "but he fits perfectly into my arms" carries him to the gym and declares "I have feelings for Otani!" Yeah! The course of true love never did run smooth and what with all he puts you through you should get a Care Bear Medal for great perseverance through the power your love. And of course you two doing your stereo in unison angry tirades at each other had me confident despite the baffling nature of Otani's behaviour that you had each found the other two whom the red string of fate was connected. (Can't believe they didn't draw that in) You know I am actually going to watch this a third time I love this series that much.

What a great series. Somehow I have been hooked on Romantic Comedies /Shoujo anime lately. Saw this on almost every top list. Couldn't stream it, had to buy. I was even able to get my 8 year old son who "hates anime" (he doesn't really, but he says that a lot but he gets sucked into some of them) to binge watch it with me.

Me encanta la serie y contiene todos los capítulos que fueron elaborados. Es una curiosa historia llena de comedia y tal vez un poco de drama. Explora las inseguridades y complejos adolescentes pero de una forma dulce y divertida

You get what you expect. I played all the discs and no scratches or skips. They came in perfect condition. Packaging was good. Four discs. The menu is a little weird but that has nothing to do with Amazon. :P English subtitles available. :D

came in excellent time and condition. very pleased.

Came as described and arrived very fast. It's a simple plastic case. The DVDs inside have art which is always a bonus for me. 4 discs, 6 episodes on each. This is one of my favourite series. I read the manga first which I bought the whole series on Kindle.

Llego bien, el perfecto regalo
