Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It (Seasons 1–2)

Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It (2020) is a Japanese rom-com anime you can watch online on iFILM. Two graduate researchers set out to test one stubborn hypothesis: can being in love be written down as a formula?

Ayame Himuro tells her colleague Shinya Yukimura, flatly, that she has fallen for him. The catch is that both are scientists to the core and refuse to trust a feeling without proof. What follows is a run of experiments — measuring heart rates, charting pupil responses, plotting graphs, all to settle whether this is love or a statistical fluke. The whole lab gets pulled into the testing, and each episode is its own attempt to put rigorous method under a blush.

A directing team led by Gaku Shiga handles the show, with Yuma Uchida and Sora Amamiya voicing the leads. It's aimed at anyone tired of syrupy romance and after an anime where flirting happens through peer review. Light, dry-witted, easy to finish in a sitting.
