This is by far one of the funniest anime I've ever watched. I've got an enormous 'anime to watch list', so I picked this one because I really liked the plot. It sounded magical and so rare. But that's not really fair, because all anime is unique and wondrous. That's what I like about Japanse anime, it's so much more than Hollywood will ever be. It comes up with the weirdest, most fantastic plots I'll ever experience. And I adore that about anime. It goes beyond everything on this planet.
But back to Soredemo sekai wa utsukushii. The story is about a princess, from the Rain Dukedom, who's about to marry the Sun King. Princess Nike is very relatable as a protagonist. I think we all share traits with her. Her easygoing personality makes her hilarious and caring. She cares about flowers, good food, her family, her new people, the King's servant... She's just lovely. When I first heard her Rain Song, I thought it was a bit soft and kind of annoying really. But as she sang it more and more, it kind of grew on me.
The relationship between Livi, the Sun King, and Nike is interesting and keeps your heart open. It never gets boring, it never explores too far or is suggestive. It's true and genuine. It teaches the value of not judging a book by its cover. It teaches us that when you dig so deep in someone's soul, you'll eventually find that one thing you can connect to. That one thing, that you have too.
Just watch it. It's really enjoyable.
