Lol. Bradwin brought a lot of women in the palace. And everyone was having fun until the two arrived. The prince in the white horse, gave me a chuckle.

This is a great series. I had fun and enjoyed more than I ever thought. Enough for me to get hook and watch it closely. The romance never felt annoying or feels dragged out. It was sweet and romantic, but seeing a shouta and older girl in a relationship disturbs me a little. One of the few animes I've found uniqe, a hidden gem buried under numerous cliche of animes. The story is captivating and well done. I'm happy to have watch this that got me hooked since the first episode.

8/10. I can clearly say this is one of the best anime this season.

This series certainly lived up to its name, both delivering a wonderful experience as well as showcasing the beauty of love and nature. The range of emotions Soredemo Sekai made me feel throughout was fantastic. The comedy had me roaring, the sweet moments were heart warming, and the drama felt consistent with the lighthearted nature of this show. Watching Nike and Livi's romance bloom was satisfying. The music was absolutely lovely, especially the grandma's farewell rain and Nike's tender rain melody.

Great anime but hindered by its short lenght. 24eps+ and a bit more focus on side characters and I would've given 8 or even 9 instead of 7.

Overall, it was a good romantic comedy series. I like the characters of both Nike and Livius. The comedy and drama was well done for the most part. The development of the relationship of Nike and Livius was okay but it felt rushed at times. This series needed more episodes.

Overall, I give this series a 7/10.

Obaba's singing was pretty good~
Nice one, Charisma dude :3 He got them ladies all over the place ahahaha.
Seriously, I think Sun king can just visit Nike whenever he wants. He is the Sun king, after all.
That version of IT'S A TENDER RAIN~ was <3
White horse for the win ahahaha. The kiss was nice, though.
It's pretty stupid to think that Sun king's height prevented me to enjoy this show more, but oh well.
I will read the Manga someday~ Thank you ^^

One word to describe this: Beautiful.

Totally cried like a baby when grandma was sending Nike off through her singing.
Loved the opening for this episode as well, def put a smile on my face. Court full of girls LOL

I must admit the rain song is pretty good as well.

awwwwwwwwww at the kiss at the end :'))))

Overall a pretty damn good series and it has left me wanting for more, each episode didn't leave me unsatisfied. Miss this series already..

Last episode was good. Really I would've been just fine with the first 1/2 of this episode. The second half of it was pointless IMO. The first half was really awesome. When the grandma started singing I had a huge smile on my face. It was fantastic.

The whole show I rate 7/10. It wasn't extraordinary but it didn't let me down either.

that fucking pink dress gotta go....

show has no element of surprise and therefore bland as fuck

brb we already know they're going to blow everything away with their hug and kisses
brb not a single dramatic event happen

super mediocre plot, fun characters, good music (minus 'tender rain' english part), okay visuals

kisses are pretty rare in anime these days, so I guess it's a treat for most of you betas and females

This is definitely a 9/10!! It was fun watching this anime!!
I didn't really expected it to be funny, as i read the plot.
I really love the romance <3 Arghh!! Livi-sama, can you be mine? Hahaha anyways, Livi and Nike look awesome together ^_^ I love the songs regarding rain-summoning. especially the "tender rain". At first, I think Nike is not that gorgeous at all, but as i watch it, she's really pretty though. especially on her wedding dress at the Principality of the Rain.
Overall, It's A-W-E-S-O-M-E. I'm glad i watched this :D

Woah, Nike's grandmother's voice caught me off guard.. Her voice is a hundred times younger than her current age.. Did not expect that.. It's hard to imagine that her voice is like that..

Now this is a great romance anime.. The pacing was quick and some drama scenes were kinda forced but the cheesy or "awww" moments made up for it.. Also, the character developments got me hooked 'til the end.. I didn't regret watching this even one bit..
Overall, a great romance anime..

What an amazing way to end this series! Really beautiful I must say, at first I was totally not expecting this series to be this good but I was blown back by the quality in both story and character development and the overall romance combined with comedy was just perfect!

Poor series overall. Sure the ending and show had sweet and fun moments overall but it hinted at plot points, like the possible rebel factions and then abandoned it like was nothing. An assassin tried to kill the king and then... nothing comes of it. Random characters appear and then vanish. Very inconsistent. 6/10, was enjoyable at parts but disappointing.

6/10, would have been higher without awful tsundere arc and TENDER RAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNN over and over until I wanted to bang my head against a wall.

Also, this show would have been better off it had been able to focus on one or two main concepts instead of bouncing around from thing to thing like a kid on a sugar high. I would have liked to see more about the rebel factions and priesthood, and the growth in how Livi learned to interact with people. I don't know if the manga just didn't care about those things, but it would have made for a better show, and a more logical backdrop for two people to fall in love.

Also, dafuq with the lack of modern technology and then RANDOM MICROPHONE GONNA HAVE AN OUTDOOR CONCERT!!!!! Please stop.

And of course a quaint happy ending. ^~~^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQa6TRfTwP4 ending scene with rain song, slow and deep as it should be ( thought it could have been deeper and more powerful, its just a show.) 7.5/10!!!!!

I really liked this series for some reason @__@

The plot isn't really that special or anything but I like both characters so muuch. Somebody skip the time and make Livi a teen bishie!! But no that would be stupid.. I would probably wait until the manga is finished and read it then.

Probably best spot to end a season since manga cant quite support a second season. I hope a second series is created. The manga ends at abrupt point. I enjoyed it. Im glad a friend linked it, it is very true to the manga. The the horse ..lel... was not necessary and kinda ironic since he was almost an antihero. 13 is age of consent nationally and in big City Tokyo & Nagana(?). But parental consent is needed to marry if below 18 and principalties have enacted local laws for Child Protection Act that raise to 18 and are enforced variably. She calls him a kid so he is likely the age in chpt 40...12-13 instead of the age 'assumed" and stated by Nike's father (same as his MIL was when enthroned)

Since the first episode I've been wishing sooooo hard that there would be a time skip or something.... I really wanna see a grown up Livi with Nike. I had my reservations watching this anime at first for the sole reason that the MC was a kid and it didn't look visually satisfying for me.

I did still watch it however and I unexpectedly found myself enjoying the show, including Livi and Nike's romance. Still... I would've loved to see him grown up even for just a few seconds, that would have made a perfect ending. But since there was no such thing, I'm hoping for a 2nd season!!

Also, I loved the songs, especially the grandma's.. it was so heart warming~

Granny doesn't want to accept Nike's toddler husband. Most of the guys in Nike's kingdom are more attractive than Livius.

I love how stubborn the granny is. She's like my granny when my dad told her she can't eat salted peanuts because they're bad for her blood pressure. She wouldn't listen to her own son who's a medical/health professional. She even tried to make us sneak in some peanuts for her.

Livius is so fucking annoying sometimes, he's better off being a bottom in a yaoi, choking on big black ochinchin.

I love shoujo romance so, so, so much! I am weak for series like Soredemo. This episode was so emotional with the goodbye and that romantic scene at the end after all they've been through. I want Livi to grow taller sooner so that we can see what we've been waiting to see for so long!

That said, the series has major flaws that I really hated. First off, the seiyuu for both Nike and Livi have been mediocre at best, and they've been terrible for the majority of the series, especially Nike's. I really hate it when an idol gets a job without any real experience just to 'advertise' whatever she was producing. This really killed any rewatchability the series had.

Second of all, the pace of this series was terrible. The reason why I don't love Nike x Livi more than I already do is because I couldn't feel the love between the two. Soredemo didn't take its time to slowly develop their feelings for each other, they didn't take the time to do that, but instead rushed into their relationship and focus more on the turbulence of their relationship. It's rather 'unrelatable'.

I am also not a huge fan of the comedy. Take that one scene for example, where Livi was having a heart to heart conversation with Kitora, and they made the scene where they had agreement on Nike's character a comedic scene, I cringed instead of laughing at it.

A lot of drama involving Livi and Steila was also really cringeworthy because of the lack of build up and the poor pacing.

Soredemo could have been a 9 and even potentially a 10 if it was as good as I thought it was.

This was a pretty good ending. Going in to this series, it was not what I expected at all. Prior to reading up on the synopsis/genres and what not, I thought this anime was an adventure/action type anime, turns out it wasn't, but I didn't really mind it at all, the story was great, and definitely did not need any action and what not to keep us interested. Very solid through and through. Not too sure if I'll pick up the manga but we'll see.

Overall, I give this a 8/10. Wow, I might miss this series more than I think I will lol.

They're so cute together, what a heartwarming series.. So glad to see Kitora and Livi getting along together. The moment when the grandma sang on top of the hill was beautiful that scene delivers so much emotions in a song, i mean they could just come back and visit them anytime in their freetime it's not like one of them die and couldn't see each other ever again.

Newlyweds couple felt so depressed because they can't see each other for a couple days i think it's normal and i hope their feelings won't change. Livi arrived on a white horse and the last kiss scene was realy sweet, i love romance anime series where the heroince is older than the MC.

It'd be nice if there's a 2nd season with a grown up Livi.. i want to see so bad

Overall score 9/10

Wow first time posting on here, but I thought this anime was worth a post, apologies if I end up rambling. I loooved this anime! It’s my second all time favourite anime. The music was amazing, the characters I thought were awesome, and I’m a sucker for romance and this anime delivers! And the height difference didn’t bug me at all it just made me love Livi even more( how can you not love him ❤️❤️❤️)It’s been 3 years since I watched this anime so I figured I’d rewatch it. I’ve never loved an anime so much the second time around as this one I was shocked at how much it moved me, like I was watching it again for the first time.

I may be the only one but I give this anime a 10/10 I loved everything about it.



Has anyone heard of any season 2 news? I really Would love a season 2 the manga has so much more chapters we could easily get many more episodes from it.

I thought overall the story had a good plot but I can't ship Nike and Livi, I think they look like brother and sister. Although their story would've been great together if they didn't make Livi a kid( he looked embarrassing on that white horse in the end). But I don't think its a bad series, its just that I didn't feel their relationship making it hard to relate to their love. Also what's up with those old men in the castle? What's their story anyway?

I liked Nike's grandma though and I loved her good bye gift, also I find it funny when Livi meet with her. The character I couldn't stand was Bard.

so it's a 6/10 from me.

Kinda a okay romantic series I guess. Noticed they changed the OP.

Anyway, not too bad, but this was kind of a cliche series. There wasn't much of a plot, but the love and romance were strong in this one. 7/10.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.
