Asteroid in Love is another one of these "cute girls doing cute things" style slice-of-life titles with the girls in question being part of a school earth science club with its members interested in different fields of earth science between astrology and geology. The series does take the girls' interest in their respective fields pretty seriously with the subjects they dabble into and having a sentimental feel to its storytelling with the experiences that the girls get out of their time in the club, particularly our main female leads of Mira and Ao who are childhood friends that reunite with their time in the club. Things with the character developments are also kept fairly simple where each have their personalities they largely stick with, but some appear to get some subtle developments as the series progresses. Like many slice-of-life titles, your mileage is likely to vary with seeing this series as it largely does nothing too out of the ordinary compared to other titles of its ilk. But if you're a fan of such titles or the premise it offers up, I'd at least say watch it once before determining whether or not to buy it.

(One episode watched): You meet someone, make a promise two minutes later, don't see the person for years, happen to run into the person again--and feel obligated to carry out the promise. That, I am guessing, is the basic flaw of this show: the premise doesn't make sense. These teens take a promise far more seriously than any ordinary person would. Another problem is that while it takes a cutesy, moe, silly tone it isn't very funny. I don't recall any LOL jokes from episode one. The show doesn't look like it will be very informative, and teach us much of anything about astronomy, either. While no doubt few people watch anime to learn about science, that would be better than nothing. It looks like this show will be about the comical travails of the struggling Earth Sciences Club, and maybe about Mira and Ao's developing friendship as they attempt to carry out their childhood promise. But as I watched I couldn't summon much interest in either topic. I guess we know so little about the two main characters (like, why do they have such a passion for astronomy--they do, right?) that it's hard to care whether they achieve their goal or not. Since I didn't care about that, wasn't laughing, and wasn't learning anything interesting, I could only wish this episode would hurry up and be finished. Last updated Saturday, January 18 2020.
