Review: Soredemo Sekai Wa Utsukushii

Translated in English as Still the World is Beautiful. This is one of the anime that won’t require you to watch a number of episodes just for the sake of falling in love with the whole story.

The story sounds a bit cliché; there is this ethnic princess sent to the most powerful sun kingdom and she's ordered to marry their king. But all turned out unexpectedly when this King splits out from his image. He is just a young boy, with this mature way of thinking.

Every episodes won’t fail your expectations. It will bring you epic sensations of love, strength, and trust shown through the well-thought characterization of the protagonist. Characters are all admirable in many aspects. Nike, the princess, with her easy-going, cheerful, and nice attitude can make you admire her image. On the other hand, Livi, with his cold, selfish, and somewhat perverted personality adds more spices on the story.

Another thing I like in this anime are the songs, including the insert song Nike uses when she chants her spells, and the opening song. How I wish, they have replace the English lyrics with Japanese though.

I also think that the foremost important element that has the power to attract watchers in this anime is the love story between Livi and Nike. Shotacon, they call it, wherein there is a big age gap between the boy(younger) and the girl, both in a developing relationship. It is actually my first time to encounter this type of romance. It may looks gross, but I think everything changes when you try. To tell you the truth, there are many "doki doki" moments in their love story which even make me scream!

This anime is a MUST WATCH! Dare to miss it, then think those poor creatures who missed Code Geass, Shakugan no Shana, and Ouran HS Host Club.
