Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii

Nike's mum > Livi's Mum.

Not reading any of the postings in this thread. I´ve been waiting to pick this one up at the end of the season, so my question: Can you guys post some anime that this one is comparable to in terms of story/atmosphere/characters? Thanks a lot!

I can't think of anything besides Kyou Kara Maou in terms of setting etc. Kaichou wa Maid-sama gives off similar vibes of as a romantic comedy type of show, without the adventuring.

This is a pile of predictable (and I did, almost every scene of it) shoujo tropes.







Still, the execution from start to almost finish is commendable. I really like Livi and Nike. The entire background and plot could be overhauled and changed. The side characters can all die and whatnot, but those two would have still shined through anyway.

Episode 12 Final - HS






- - - - -- - -




A prince riding a white horse (or actually the king, but whatever)... I couldn't help but laugh at that moment. I was expecting him to appear since it would be a pretty ridiculous final if they didn't meet anything but were left all melancholic, but I didn't expect such a super cliche image. Well, it was all the more funnier because of that.

Quite a decent last episode all in all. Forcing their way to the granny, Nike's tearful farewell and then Livi's usual haughty attitude were very natural from them. Bard's vision of the castly was also spot-on. Even the three old geezers got some action!

One of my favourite shows of the season, no doubt about it. Fortunately I don't watch, or read, shoujo so much that the endless series of tropes would annoy me as much as they did Shinta.

Nike is just.. awesome. Her likeability alone pretty much won this series for me. I'm sort of happy that we're stopped here for now because the package feels complete. We've gone through the final boss both in the Sun and Rain. Any existing character darkness or weakness has already been dealt with. I'm not sure what else they could use to keep this entertaining. Better to keep this one short and well done in my opinion.

I really liked the final episode. Those two are meant to be happy with each other. I actually liked the white horse scene, despite the cliche. They just fell in love all over again, and it was good.
