Jun 29, 2014 AnimeZ0id Recommended I really feel like this anime just has a way of getting you sucked into the story. Yes it's shoujo, yes it's romance, but it's an enchanting story being told. And it's not that typical "oh well he's a king & I'm a princess" *automatically falls in love* Not even close! He threw her in jail when Livi first met Nike xD It's a story that takes place in a distant era, but it's definitely not what you expect! Story: 8/10- What is to really admire about this story is that it's not that shoujo that's all about the romance and overly sweet moments. There's actions, ... Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 15, 2015 MAND4 Not Recommended With the glaring number of praising reviews, and a decent enough of the overall, I had thought to find at least something that would temporarily be a time-killer of sorts. Unfortunately, what I found was a show riddled with problems, unbearable story and poor characters. Throughout the entire show, the only thing that stuck out was production value - something that matters the least in the show of this genre. What Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii has is not a story - it's rather an abomination, shrouded in overlapping layers of discomfort, insanity and terrible writing. Story is crippled by its inability to stay consistent, subtle ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 28, 2014 Stark700 Recommended Does rock-paper-scissors determine the fate of everything? Not really but for Nike Lemercier, the fourth and youngest princess of Rain Dukedom, she’s about to find out just how much her life will change with just a game. Despite her reluctance, she is to marry the Sun King Livius, not for an everlasting relationship but for her country’s sake. Facing the problem of annexation, she travels to the Sun Kingdom for a marriage, one she thought was never meant to be. And boy, was she wrong. First thought regarding the series primarily deals with its adaptation. The anime covers roughly 18 chapters of the fantasy shoujo manga, ... Read more Open Gift Report
Oct 25, 2014 Smugdear Recommended Romance is the oldest story in the world. The story of Romance that involving two kingdoms/empire is one of the most classic stories that ever made. Several authors write the story by giving the sweetest moment between the couple that exist in the story. And now, Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii continue the legacy of that classic era. Well, if you look deeply inside the plot, Soredemo Sekai Wa Utsukushi have the same typical romance comedy plot, but it's capable to represents the main feeling of the story itself. Soredemo succeed brings all the emotion on the screen, it has great plot although not the greatest ... Read more Open Gift Report
Oct 4, 2023 xXDAGGERHEARTXx Not Recommended Funny If the process of having an identity disorder could be physically condensed into an anime this would be that anime. Never have a seen a story that knows less what it wants to be. Characters veer wildly between being good guys and bad guys, not in a realistic grey area way, but in a "flipping between extremely cartoonish poles" way. Characters will be attempted rapists one episode then become a silly comic relief guy later. Characters will be painted as evil and trying to control Nike and then turn around and be extremely genuinely written like "we were just worried about her." The biggest flip is ...

Dec 23, 2014 WindAngel959 Recommended Soredemo sekai wa utsukushii ( The world is still beautiful ). As described on the tittle,this anime really portrays the beautiful side of the world. At first glance,it just looks like your typical prince and princess get together life happily ever after shoujo anime,But don't let your first impression fools you. This show is more than that,it is an outstanding anime indeed Story : 8 Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 29, 2014 Nasty001 Not Recommended What does this anime remind me of? Ans, "The King and I" yes a classic 1956 movie (with its 1999 re-make) that you're great grandma has probably watched when she was younger and re-watch several times in some of those classic channels.......that is, if they have access to 'Turner Classics" or "MGM Classic, " hey, let's face it, it was almost identical to the classic where the king is a cold and uptight ruler and the girl is an independent outspoken individual, even thought there is that reverse thing, where in the classic it a east meets west kind of thing, here it was ...

Jul 4, 2014 flaming-moltres Recommended This is one of the best shoujos I've watched so far. It stands out with it's unusual setting, great and not cliché at all characters and the great music. Story: Read more Open Gift Report
Sep 3, 2015 kerxham Mixed Feelings I found this series rather uninspired. Lacking in intrigue , it tries too hard in all the wrong ways while leaving its potential strengths to languish in the derived mediocrities of the shojo genre. The plot mechanic of the age disparity between the protagonists, especially in light of their genders, was the sole unique feature that drew me to this anime (as I'm fond of unconventional romances) and partially redeems it after the fact. Perhaps I was expecting too much of this series but like an initially idealistic parent later turned sour on the realities of life; I am left simply disappointed at the waste ...

Feb 1, 2021 stormiecx Not Recommended I don't understand how this anime is getting good reviews when it's quite literally pedophilia. Nothing more needs to be said about this anime. Pedophilia is disgusting. End of story. I wish this anime lived up to its name, but if anything it makes me feel like the world is more depraved and disgusting than I thought.

Dec 31, 2014 RarestProGamer Recommended !!!Warning- This manga can make you go all "awwweeooooiii,blush,tears,laugh,feels" and In case like mine combination of all. Before, I start reviewing I need to say 2 things 1. This is just my opinion,feel free to give your suggestions. ~ I never felt this good watching a shoujo anime since lovely complex.Its literally a lot similar to lovely complex too because of the height difference between the main couple and humor, what surprised me the most the animation is done by "Studio Pierrot", YEA YOU HEARD ...

May 26, 2015 Jaehee_ Recommended I was hesitant to watch this anime, given the synopsis explained led me to believe it would be a lighthearted comedy, a genre to which I am not particularly partial. I put off watching it for quite some time, until I had caught up with all the currently airing anime I'd been interested in, and in my idleness, I decided to watch it. I marathon-ed this anime in two days. The story was not the most colorful or elaborate, but it was rich in culture and backstory. I must say, if you are a sucker for backstory, it shall be sated here, rather ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 15, 2015 ikkiwikki Recommended This is my first review, so please bear with me! I am so really happy that I decided to watch this anime, for the feelings that this anime have brought me. The leading characters of this anime are outstanding, I could not help to love that sassy young king, and I love an outgoing female like Nike. Dont let the fact ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 19, 2015 Yelq Recommended There goes another anime that I've really enjoyed. I felt like its been ages since I had another one that really can suck up my time with. I've literally finished the whole series without stopping. I don't usually write reviews , but I just had to write this one. What's more , it is a Shoujo Anime where you expect a handsome prince pops out fells in love at first sight to a not famous princess . Well no. A Shoujo, but not the typical ones. Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii (The World is Still Beautiful) really caught my attention after watching the 1st episode. Not just ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 26, 2014 maegan_kk Not Recommended Preliminary (3/12 eps) I’ll start off this review by making it clear that I haven’t read the manga and knew nothing about this story when I decided to start watching the anime, therefore my opinion is purely based on the latter. This being said, I was less than impressed with it, in fact I’m surprised that the vast majority of the reviews are positive and praise this enough to rate it with a 10… but anyway, everyone’s entitled to their opinion and here’s mine: Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii was mediocre at best. Let me break down the reasons: Story 4/10 Knowing nothing about this anime or its characters, I must say ... Read more Open Gift Report
Oct 15, 2015 TFO1013 Not Recommended Story: I can sum it up in two words: Stockholm Syndrome. That's what's going on in this anime and there isn't a more obvious example available. It isn't a true romance. The king essentially holds the girl hostage and then she gradually falls for him. She begins to see what she wants to see in him (the fact that he's emotionally damaged and needs to be loved) and soon forgets the fact that she's there against her wishes. Characters: I'll start with Livius. He's the child of a king but since his mother was a commoner both he and his mother were treated like outcasts. As ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 30, 2014 Fellika Recommended This is technically the first time I encountered an anime that had a beautiful scene every single moment. All you think at the end is "I want more" and "I need to read the manga now!!!" This is by far my number one anime of the year. Everything about the anime is astonishing and beautiful. When I mean beautiful I mean beautiful. Story: Everything about the story had a cause and an effect. They had moments where love, had, sadness come into play. You can tell that each and every scene in the story would touch your heart in a second. It was fun and hilarious. ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 24, 2015 ggultra2764 Recommended The World Is Still Beautiful is a shoujo fantasy romantic comedy-drama set within a fictional land where a princess of the Rain Dukedom named Nike is arranged to be married to the Sun Kingdom's young ruler Livius in order for the Rain Dukedom to maintain its sovereignty. The series is mainly focused on the growing bond between Nike and Livius, exploring Livius' traumatic past and exploring the political hostilities that erupt among both factions in response to the marriage. The biggest strengths to this series come in the nice amount of exploration it offers up to with Nike and Livius' lives. In spite of its 12 ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 30, 2014 SweetSerenadexX Recommended Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii. A great romance anime. This was an anime I was really looking forward to, but I waited until it finished airing. I'm just not patient enough to wait for a whole week every time after watching just one episode. Never mind, I'll start my review: Story 10/10 Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 8, 2015 alexismv Recommended With this anime, there were both things that I enjoyed, but there were also things that I didn't like. I rated the story as 'Fair' for a couple of reasons, mostly on the basis of my bias towards shoujo anime. I usually don't like shoujo anime and manga in its original, flowery, roses and sparkles and hot anime guys form. Although, there are, of course, exceptions. Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii, aka Still World is Beautiful, aka The World is Still Beautiful, is, I admit, an exception. (Toshokan Sensou is also definitely an exception...okay, so is Lovely Complex. Lovely Complex is hilarious). The story, although amusing ... Read more Open Gift Report More Reviews |
