The Ice Guy and his Cool Female Colleague

Little dude and I watched the anime The Ice Guy and his Cool Female Colleague recently and it was good fun. He says it was "pretty good" and I thought it was a good joint watch as it's very sweet--sweeter than I expected. 


So, based on the title, I'd thought it was going to be one of those shows with a possibly tsundere male lead (or perhaps on both sides). But, it turns out the "Ice Guy" refers to the fact that he's actually the descendant of a Snow Woman. Ha. 

He's literally about the warmest backwoods cinnamon bun you can imagine -- he literally freezes up when he's nervous, he blizzards when he's happy, and out pop adorable little snowmen when he's full of joy. It's very squee-able. 

And his cool female colleague is really more of a deadpan lady, not at all mean or distant. She's just never been good at expressing her emotions. 

We watched the whole season and I do hope there's more. It's just a very sweet, innocent show. Not a lot happens but it's cotton candy fluff. I don't think there's much angst at all; they both like each other though, I think, he's more cognisant of it. He knows he likes her. She's more the type of oh, I enjoy being around him but kind of clueless.

The side characters are cute as well, including a guy that's descended from a phoenix and a lady from a kitsune. The little sister even avoids that horribly annoying trope of loving her big brother too much. It's the kind of show you want to watch when you don't want to stress or think too much and just need something happy and cute.
