The World is Still Beautiful

I don't know, but this episode is just so beautiful. It’s the perfect finale for the series and this season. The lingering conflict from the previous episode with Nike’s grandmother gets resolved pretty well, and man, this episode is just so incredibly emotional. The depth of Nike and her grandmother’s relationship is shown beautifully. For me, this episode also features Nike's most stunning song of the entire season; every single emotion just pierces straight through to the audience. The ending is absolutely amazing. Studio Pierrot really nailed the execution here—from the visuals to the scoring, almost everything was on point. Honestly, even now, I’m still wishing and hoping for another season of this series. It is fully worth watching!!!!!

We’re finally reaching the end of the series!!! And oh my god, Nike’s mom is finally revealed!!! The whole family is just straight-up gorgeous wwww. Not a whole lot to break down in this episode, but I’m so glad Kitora’s character didn't turn out to be super annoying or anything; instead, he was actually able to reconcile and accept the situation. The conflict from the previous episode gets wrapped up beautifully, and this might just be the conflict that solidifies their relationship the most so far this season. It's still so damn good; the pacing is amazing, the rom-com elements are top-tier, and don't even get me started on the OST—absolute perfection!

And the storm is back again for Nike and Livi’s relationship, right after that major conflict in episodes 4 and 5. Honestly, Nike's grandmother's actions here are a bit of a plot twist, especially since she showed a completely 180-degree different personality in the previous episode. This episode is just so incredibly emotional, seeing how both Livi and Nike are fighting so hard for their relationship. The ending is quite a cliffhanger, so for anyone planning to watch, you’d better just binge it straight through with the next episode!! It's getting so damn exciting right now!

Woohooooo, finally the episode we've all been waiting for! The setting shifts to Nike’s homeland, and in this episode, we get to explore a lot of character interactions that only got a tiny bit of screen time in the earlier episodes. It looks like we're finally going to dive deeper into Nike's relationship with her grandmother and see what role she’ll play in Livi and Nike's relationship moving forward. So damn exciting! The comedy is still hilarious in this episode, and the romance is, of course, just as cute as ever. Let's see what happens in the next one!

Yep, it's finally spilled—we finally get to see some of Livi's past memories, along with Bard's motive for getting close to Nike and how his past actually connects to and plays a part in Livi's life. The conflict between Nike and Livi gets resolved beautifully, and the clash between Livi and Bard is also wrapped up really well. I seriously can't wait to see what happens in the next episode after the climax of this one! Let's see!!

Another new character introduction! If the new character before was the 2nd female lead acting as Nike's rival, this time it’s Livi’s turn to get a rival. Honestly, unlike the previous episode, this new character acting as Livi's rival is a bit more annoying and way more disrespectful, so if you're someone who hates third-wheel characters in a relationship, you might get pretty annoyed wwww. It also seems like this episode is going to be the opening act to explore more of Livi's past, so it's fully connected to the next one—definitely don't skip it!

The classic template plot—enter the 2nd female lead to spark things up and bring the main characters even closer together. We’re introduced to another new character here, but honestly, I am just so in love with our two main characters. Livi really shows how much he loves Nike by reassuring her that she’s the one he chose, no matter what, instead of anyone else. And Nike is also fighting for her relationship with Livi, making their dynamic so balanced and not one-sided at all. Even the new character who plays the 2nd female lead isn't made to be over-annoying and completely serves her purpose well. It’s still so exciting so far, and the emotional payoff at the end of this episode when Nike calls the rain is just so spot-on.

A continuation from the previous episode, and honestly, Nike is just SO incredibly smart here! Her decision to resolve this conflict makes the climax so damn good. They really made her character look so charismatic, perfectly fitting her role as the future queen. This episode also brings Livi and Nike even closer together, showing how Livi now sees Nike as the most precious person in his life. Their relationship is still so exciting to follow, let's see what happens in the next episode!!!!

In this episode, we’re introduced to a new character, and we finally get a glimpse of how complex the political situation is in the Sun Kingdom. This also sparks one of the major conflicts in Livi and Nike's relationship, which makes things so much more exciting! Anyway, this episode is basically a prequel for what's coming next, so you definitely can't miss it since it connects directly to the next one. Overall, the pacing is still really smooth and easy to follow. Let's see what happens in the next episode!!

Not a whole lot to dissect in this episode, but we’re introduced to a new character who’s definitely gonna be a major source of comedy for the series moving forward wwww. We also get to see a bit more of Nike’s background and her relationship with her grandmother, while Livius's character complexity is being unraveled even further. I honestly love how Nike starts to sympathize with Livi, which naturally brings the two of them closer together. It’s getting more exciting so far; the OST is still top-notch, the rom-com vibes are totally there—let's keep investing in the next one!

Moving to the second episode, we finally get to see the interaction between our two main characters, Nike and Livius. Honestly, their dynamic is so damn cute and not annoying at all! The comedy is still landing perfectly, and the pacing of their relationship is actually pretty fast since neither of them is holding back from getting closer to each other. We also get a little peek into Livi’s background story here. And of course, the soundtrack is still absolute top-tier! Let's see how it goes from here, but so far, it’s their dynamic that makes this show such a blast to watch.

Seriously, old anime hits different. The first episode, I’m honestly so hooked—the story is intriguing, and the fantasy world-building is just flawless; everything fits so perfectly. The comedy is really funny, and the character visuals are gorgeous. The OST is just so peak, emotional, beautiful, and magical. But anyway, the romance has an age gap, so if you're not used to that or it's not your thing, it might feel a bit weird at first. But honestly, this is 100% worth watching if you want to give it a try!

The grandma's singing is surprisingly youthful but it gave me shivers. This anime makes me want to read the manga all over again. The development of Nike and Livi's relationship is so interesting with the addition of the side characters. [8.50/10]

This felt like the problem was solve pretty fast but I still loved that is was conclusive. I appreciate that people minded their business when they were defeated. Nike's mother is also a baddie.

The epiphany has been made! I think Livi knew his feelings but not the extent while Nike was not completely understanding it. I love that they are so ride-or-die for one another.

I never realized it before but they need to have a different song with Nike sings. Tender rain is tiring after a while. I enjoy that the development of their relationship but man is the age gap obvious.

Bard is a surprisingly nice guy. I want to know how old he is. I know stuff about the manga but it always concerned me. Livi is naturally distrustful to legitimate reasons so this crash out was inevitable.

The vibes were all sunshine and daisy till misunderstandings show up. Time-and-time again we are shown Livi having a cruel side after getting some youthfulness out of him. This will be an interesting issue to solve.

I've never been a fan of a new rival entering but Luna reminds me of how young both Luna and Livius are. It really shows how the environment your in can affect your way of thinking. I hope we get more development with Luna! The opening this episode foreshadows the end of this one!

The drama! The politics! The evil! So fun and entertaining! The way that they handled this problem was well done! This quelled the religious people and made the royals look good. It was bonus for getting the evil dudes. Also, the development in their relationship is fantastic!
