Cal-reflector's Futakoi Tv Review
Rated:
The warm cuteness is a definite bonus and incentive--truly, all of the characters, even the main character's down-trodden sidekick, have their appeals-- which one can enjoy without the usual disadvantages of explicit fanservice (You know what those are, people peering over your shoulder, etc). The short length of the series (13) also prevents formation of heavy emotional baggage that threatens to choke viewers with angst; the characters' questions and indecisions are resolved in a timely manner, and the plot moves on in an unambiguous and clear-cut fashion so that the viewer never loses focus.

Shinsengumi's Futakoi Tv Review
Rated:
What can I say? I enjoyed this series quite a bit, though I honestly wish that the dreary stretch could have been shortened somewhat. With its WTF LOL factor, the first episode really hooked me in, as it was such a well-executed blend of smooth action and wry humor that left me wanting more. Little touches always brought laughs, from the casual way that Sakurazuki, the old yakuza boss, lights his cigar with his blowtorch to the antics of the police duo.
One final note bears mention, and that is the word "alternative" appended to the series title. In short, Futakoi was a bad romantic anime with lots of twin girls.
