Sweet and wholesome, but loses it's taste after a while
talking_about_movies22 March 2023
This was a simple sweet romance with a likeable couple, some nice side characters and an interesting supernatural environment. That being said it loses its steam after a few episodes. Because there's nothing new that the story has to offer other than the usual gimmicks between the couple. And the interesting side characters (like Saejima and Komori) aren't given that much progress. So it was fine in the end. It's wholesome and sweet for sure, but it got a bit boring after a while. And I thought that the main 2 characters - Himuro and Fuyutsuki were likeable for sure, but they could have had some more depth to them.

The animation was very nice though and so were the character designs.

I like the voice actor of Himuro too - Chiaki Kobayashi, I think he's a rising star and he'll get many major roles in the future, as we've seen in Tomodachi Game as well.

The Ice Guy and his Cool Female Colleague
Tweekums22 March 2023
This anime series is centred on Himuro. Outwardly he is an ordinary office worker but in fact he is a supernatural being who causes the temperature to drop and snow to fall whenever he experiences strong emotions. This could be a real problem when he starts to fall for co-worker Fuyutsuki however the story takes place in a reality were there are people descended from various spirits so his co-workers easily accept that he is descended from a 'snow woman'. Over the course of the series their friendship develops. We also get to know their various co-workers.

This is a rather enjoyable Josei series. The story is told at a gentle pace without needed excessive drama or fan service. The basic concept is fun and Himuro's snow creation is a way of showing his emotion rather than anything like a superpower. The characters are likeable and relatable. Overall I'd say this was an enjoyable romance with a supernatural twist; I'd recommend it, just don't expect action or melodrama.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

How wonderful
Mysterygeneration14 January 2024
How wonderful it is to see mature professional relationships in anime cannot be emphasized enough. These stories are far more meaningful to me as I become older and I think they're more relatable than most high school romance novels. With endearing characters, hilarious conversation, and some truly touching moments, The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague was an adorable and enjoyable journey through and through.

I was enamored with this series from the first episode. With the exception of the Yokai element, the setting feels genuine, and the artwork is among the best I've seen in the genre. It does a great job of giving us the impression that we are working with the characters in their office and experiencing their everyday lives. Narratively, the show is somewhat episodic, with the apparent goal of uniting the main couple and fostering a bond between them through work-related activities on a daily basis. It's a slow-burning tale in which the couple finds great satisfaction in their little, incremental successes. Going on a date, amusement park, etc. In short, don't anticipate anything significant.

Good anime for watching
nityaraizada23 April 2023
Great scenes all the characters are marvellous. Love season 1 and hope for more soon. All the characters are superb having their own special abilities and make the situation enjoy fully. Hope there will be more episodes for other also and may we can know further more. All the side characters are interesting as also we didn't know much makes it more sensible and thinkabout. The cat Nyamero also plays cute all the time also Himuro's sister plays great but yeah makes it complex or easier. The areas and backgrounds and the traditional things look awesome and gorgeous. Want season 2 for knowing more.

Great work!😊

A work without any expectations
sdjmsfd17 September 2023
This work has a setting where the character's appearance and surroundings freeze when he or she becomes emotional. But there's no explanation as to why that's the case. You don't need to see this whole piece. When a woman says something like, "We're a couple," the man says, "You're cute..." " is all about the development. That's really all this work is about. There is absolutely no effort or effort to do anything for a woman. Because a woman knows what she wants to do and say what she wants to say. So what am I supposed to feel? This piece of trash is a waste of voice actors. There are no rivalries, no goals, no power needed for any story. Thanks to this, it is a work that proves the decline of Japanese animation. Good job!

As a seasoned anime enthusiast and critic, I delved into the icy world of "Ice Guy" with anticipation and a discerning eye.

Beyond its visual splendor, "Ice Guy" boasts a compelling storyline that unfolds with both subtlety and depth. At its core, the anime explores the transformative power of love, as two seemingly incompatible souls-ice and fire-find themselves drawn together against all odds. The character development is nuanced, with each protagonist grappling with their own inner demons while navigating the complexities of their budding relationship.

What sets "Ice Guy" apart from other romance anime is its willingness to tackle mature themes with grace and sensitivity. The emotional resonance of the narrative is palpable, eliciting genuine empathy from the audience as they accompany the characters on their journey of self-discovery and redemption.

Furthermore, "Ice Guy" is not content to rely solely on romantic tropes to drive its narrative forward. Instead, it incorporates elements of mystery, suspense, and even action, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats with each twist and turn. The result is a multifaceted story that appeals to a wide range of tastes, transcending the confines of its genre to deliver a truly memorable viewing experience.

In conclusion, "Ice Guy" stands as a testament to the enduring power of love and the resilience of the human spirit.

Chill and funny
brycebyoung9 April 2024
I watched it with my wife since we both enjoy clean anime rom coms. At first, it was hard to latch onto because the main characters seemed a bit robotic and hard to relate to. I wasn't sure if I would be able to last beyond the first episode. However, this first impression did not last.

There is a good variety of different characters, and they each have solid depth/complexity. In short, they are all hilarious together and have a unique work dynamic that is refreshing for American culture. I would recommend giving the first two episodes a shot so that you can get a good feel of the characters in the show. From there you can decide if it's the right show for you, but I'm eagerly waiting for another season. I also like to rewatch the show to have something calm and interesting on while I settle down for bed.
