Violence: Takeo can be a bit rough with some of the creepier guys on the show. He also participates in a judo match in one episode.

Sex and Nudity: The show begins with a creepy guy trying to grope Yamato, but Takeo gets rid of him pretty quickly. (He also tries to straighten out any other behavior of that sort.) Yamato tries to make his heart race with her swimsuit, but Sunakawa helps to keep Takeo's mind from wandering. Also, the girls misunderstand a situation between Yamato and Takeo, thinking they slept together. (Nothing happened, these are very innocent children.) Also there's a weird love rival, who is a grown man in love with a high school girl. It's all really rather tame, since the characters are very innocent in their expressions of love.

Theological Themes: Nothing that I can recall.

Problematic Themes: None.

Overall: This was really cute and fluffy. It reminded me of Kimi ni Todoke and Snow White with the Red Hair. It's a slice of life romance about a group of really wholesome people.

The characters actually talk about their problems, though they have trouble sometimes, since they're still very young and in high school. All the misunderstandings are more down to earth, and the characters get down to the root of their miscommunications as a way of improving themselves and their relationships instead of just addressing the immediate issues. This not only applies to the romantic relationships but the platonic ones. My Love Story!! really knows how to show healthy and solid relationships.

The characters are super sweet and wholesome. The only exception is the baker guy at the end of the show, but that's another story for another time. Takeo is a very sweet person. He only sees the best in people, he's altruistic, and ridiculously straightforward. His greatest strengths can be his greatest weaknesses, and he's rather dense when it comes to people's emotions. Yamato is very girly in stark contrast to Takeo's macho-ness. She's very loving and strong willed. Sunakawa is kind of deadpan and anti-social, but he always puts his friends and loved ones before himself. He's also the best character in the show for some reason... I also thought the side characters were well done, especially Sunakawa's sister and the girl from the relay race. (I forgot their names.)

Also, all three of the leads are my children. I've adopted them.

The music was very nice. The theme song is getting stuck in my head a lot now, so it's very memorable. The art was very nice. The female characters in particular are done in a very shoujo-esque style. I LOVED Ai? Sunakawa's character design in particular. She was so pretty! Also we get some more diverse designs than normal, which is lovely!

For the age rating, I'd say middle school and up for the occasional suggestive moment. It's really a very cute series.
