Osake wa Fuufu ni Natte kara

Chisato Mizusawa is a calm and collected assistant office manager who apparently dislikes drinking alcohol. But she actually likes it and has a secret side to her that emerges only when drunk: her cute persona, which she only reveals to her husband, the bartender Sora. Each day when Chisato comes home, Sora takes care of his beloved wife, providing her with a good meal and a fresh drink. These drinks include Plum Splet, Irish Coffee, Orange Breeze, and many more tasty concoctions that she eagerly gulps down. But as much as she likes alcohol, she loves her kindhearted husband more. Together, they share a life that is filled with happiness—and the more-than-occasional cocktail.

Love is Like a Cocktail is a delightful little anime about the sweet romance of a stay-at-home-husband and his borderline alcoholic wife who can only reveal her true self after a good drink. Each episode is filled with cute moments between the two, and also concludes with a recipe for an interesting cocktail. It's a simple premise, but executed quite well, as the main couple really do feel like they've got great chemistry, even if their relationship is a bit unorthodox. Even the scenes outside of the home, and especially the story of how they met, feel both sweet and lifelike. The fact of her ... usual reservedness contrasting to her natural tenderness with her husband is delightful to watch unfold after the drink of the episode. Despite the fact that it's the strongest aspect of the anime, that's pretty much all I have to say about the story. It takes the concept and executes it quite well, leaving little room for further comment in such a short anime.

The art is crisp and energetic, capturing the emotive qualities of its characters throughout, especially when there's alcohol involved. Beyond that, however, it can be said that it plays things a little safe, very much reflecting a kind of 'industry standard' art style for the time of its production, but I don't really think that's too big a deal for something like this.

The sound receives a similar estimation from me, as it is a good fit, with a no-frills approach to doing a good job. One stand-out for the sound, however, is the voice work, especially for Chisato, who is quite adaptable to various emotional states.

As for the characters, there aren't that many, but those we do have are strong across the board. Of them, my favorites are of course the main couple, Chisato and Sora. Sora stays at home but is still his wife's rock who she not only loves but also respects, and Chisato is a high-powered career woman who isn't self-important about it and knows how to unwind and be vulnerable with her husband all the same. All in all, it's a sweet and doting relationship they have, even if it sometimes seems like Sora encourages his wife's fixation with alcohol- I suppose it's lucky she's a lightweight! Overall, Love is Like a Cocktail is good, simple fun, with delightfully written romance and a host of interesting drinks that anybody could try to make at home, and as such, it is easy for me to recommend.

Mixed Feelings

Okay, I'm not gonna lie, I was totally smitten with this adorable anime! This anime is literally the most heartwarming show I've watched all year. It's about this sweet husband who's a total genius when it comes to mixing up cocktails that make his wife's day. I mean, who wouldn't want a partner like that?!

I loved how each episode was like a tiny little gift - only 3 minutes long, but packed with so much love and care. I found myself smiling like a goofball through every single one. The animation is gorgeous, the music is catchy, and the characters... _sigh_... they're just so darn ... cute!

My only complaint is that I wished the episodes were a bit longer! I mean, I know it's meant to be a quick pick-me-up, but I just didn't want it to end! You can seriously finish the whole series in like an hour, which is both amazing and sad at the same time.

Anyway, if you need a dose of happiness in your life, love is Like a cocktail is the perfect remedy. Trust me, you won't regret it!

Considering that the show consisted of just cute shorts that was only 3 minutes long, for how much they put in I got way more enjoyment than I should. Pretty much everything about the show was mediocre, but that doesn't necessarily retract from the show since it was all about the cute characters doing cute things. However unlike generic cute moe girls doing cute moe girl things, you won't be put on an FBI watchlist for creeping on underaged girls.

However near the end I was expecting some kind of twist but was just disappointed that she wasn't diagnosed with Chronic Liver Failure.

I think an ending ... matters the most, and the fact that it didn't on anything special makes it a 1/10

bad show
