Pure-Hearted Girl Et Cetera is true to it’s name. It’s pure-hearted love (with a little extra spice). The art style is a mix between ‘cute’ and ‘mature’. The color pallet, designs and animation are all fun and lighthearted. Everything works to get across it’s ‘clean, pure love’ aesthetic. The others works credited the studio, Studio 1st, such as Fuzzy Lips, Mokkai Shiyo and Jewelry the Animation, show that this really is their forte. The plot matters as much as plot matters in things like romcoms: the dynamic and connection to the characters is what’s important. Both the female and male character’s have cute and unique designs. The maingirl is a shy new student with glasses, the guy is good-natured, and thinks she looks like she’ll grow up to be the hot mature office lady type that he’s into. It plays into that with some fun scenarios: some school rooftop exhibitionism and playing into the ‘mature office lady’ fetish.

The second, unrelated story isn’t as enjoyable, for me at least, but it isn’t something that will turn you off if you enjoyed the first.

Overall, high recommended to those looking for pure-hearted love (with a little something-something).
