Fugindo do Príncipe

Why was this show made this way? The vibe it gives off feels reminiscent of brain-dead cartoon shows aimed at children aged 2-3. While the concept it explores is undeniably intriguing, the logic behind most actions is utterly nonsensical! The conflict, which could have been portrayed with clever nuance, ends up feeling pointless and devoid of meaning.

The romantic subplot, while present, takes a backseat, as the plot largely focuses on side characters and random, mundane side quests that are downright boring to watch. Binge-watching this show was impossible for me-it's just too cringeworthy and absurd to handle in one go. The only reason I managed to finish it (albeit at a painstakingly slow pace) was because I wanted some sense of closure and satisfaction, as I genuinely loved the manga it's based on. Sadly, even the ending turned out to be a letdown! After dragging its feet for so long, the show rushed through its conclusion, leaving it feeling disjointed and unsatisfying.

The screenplay, direction, and animation are all, at best, barely average. However, I'll give it credit for one thing-it's lighthearted and not dark or depressing, so it could serve as simple background noise for those looking for something easygoing. And while the ending was far from satisfying, at least it was happy, so there's that small positive.
