Betrothed to My Sister's Ex

I am so picky with my anime but I have a soft spot for the quirky girl getting with the tough guy and bringing out his caring side. Watching it, I was legitimately at the end of my bed watching like I was 7 years old and heavily invested in my Saturday morning cartoons. I was so excited for the story to continue. I watched it all the way through and finished at midnight. The colors, the story, the love, Marie's character growth, Mio is my favorite, the prince was the best friend you'd want a guy to have, and all around just an anime you can really get into. It's quick, easy to watch, and really light. I genuinely feel satisfied with the ending if they choose not to continue on but secretly I reeeeaaallly hope they do.

I am 72 yrs old and watching Betrothed to My Sisters's Ex on Crunchyroll. It is my second favorite anime, and it's not even dubbed so I am watching it in Japanese with subtitles!

I am a somewhat unconventional anime fan and have rolled my eyes at my son for years for watching "cartoons" . . . Until we were on vacation at the beach in 2023 and bad weather found him cueing up The Apothecary Diaries. After two episodes I was hooked, even though the romance is a very slow burn. After 46 episodes and 2 years of AD I have looked and looked for others I would like as well. And I found it! Actually two. I am loving both Betrothed to My Sister's Ex which is charming and the opposite of a slow burn, and May I Ask for One Final Thing, which is beyond quirky. I highly recommend all three.

Please, you have to watch this anime! It has everything: romance, drama, mystery... it's one of those where you can't stop smiling as soon as the couple appears. He's one of those "if you touch her, I'll kill you" princes. I love him! His romantic plot is intertwined with family mysteries that make this series very interesting, entertaining, and dynamic!

I had given up on romance anime until this one came along <3.

(12+) This was a fairly standard rags to riches type of story, with some resemblance to Cinderella. Overall, it was worth the watch. I think the evil, petty, and selfish parents of the heroine got off a little light at the end, but other than that it was a great ending, too! The MAID was amazing, and she stole every scene she was in! The series was worth watching just for her, and my favorite episode was the one that starred her as she set off on an adventure to figure some things out... it was great! Recommended viewing! Nothing (beyond the maid) was outstanding, but the anime is drawn beautifully, and the voice actors were on point!

The girl is too shy, too dramatic, too innocent, i mean like.. eww, In terms of graphics, it's very good, the antagonist's presentation managed to annoy me, and the complexity of the conflict made me annoyed it feels like watching a Korean comic manhwa that has been adapted into an anime, so far kinda bad.
