Synopsis

Princess Anisphia "Anis" Wynn Palletia has always dreamed of flying through the sky, even though the people of her kingdom consider it a silly ambition. Also at odds with her goal is the fact that Anis is incapable of using magic despite her noble status. Refusing to give up so easily, she renounces her right to the throne, and focuses on developing "magicology" by combining various resources with knowledge from her previous life on Earth.

Due to Anis' nature, responsibility for the kingdom's future is passed onto her younger brother, Algard. Pushed into a political marriage with Euphyllia Magenta, a girl he hardly knows, Algard rebels by spending more time with a commoner girl than his fiancée. After Euphyllia tries to intervene, Algard publicly calls off their marriage and denounces his ex-fiancée as a bully.

After crashing into the banquet where Algard makes the announcement, Anis rescues Euphyllia on the flying broom she is testing. She decides to make Euphyllia her assistant, which the other girl reluctantly agrees to. Although their partnership appears random at first, Anis has an ulterior motive for wanting Euphyllia's company.

In an era riddled with isekai with boring power fantasies, overpowered characters, and poor production, this anime was a gem of its genre, although this show is more disconnected from the isekai aspect, and more on the fantasy aspect. I will admit, when I saw this show announced, I thought it would be yet another generic isekai, but just with yuri. Seeing that Studio Diomedéa at the helm, and with their recent anime such as Futsal Boys, and Domestic Girlfriend, I wrote this one off entirely. I eventually did try it out, and following a premiere that stumbled out of the gates, it improved into ... something quite special, with impressive animation, characters, and thought-provoking themes.

Stories surrounding royalty always fall into the age old trope of in-fighting inside the palace, and a thirst for the throne and power. Instead, our main protagonist, Anisphia “Anis” Wynn Palletia, is one that seemingly does not care for ascending to the throne, despite being in the royal bloodline. One reason why that might be the case is that in a world filled with magic users, at least among royalty, she is incapable of using magic. Instead, she engages in research called “magicology”, using the world’s resources and her knowledge from her previous life. As she seemingly neglects her place in the royal scheme of things, she is seen as a heretic, and therefore, her brother, Algard, assumes the duties of royalty. At the outset, Algard is in a forced political marriage with Euphyllia Magenta, whom he barely knows.

With that, the theme of rebellion is presented for the first time in the show, as Algard spends time with another girl rather than his fiancée, and eventually denounces her in front of a huge crowd, calling off their marriage. This all happens in the first episode, and I’m sure that if you haven’t watched this show yet, you’re thinking to yourself how this is even good. It all seems like contrived drama, doesn’t it?

But then, Anisphia comes in, all carefree, to sweep Euphyllia off her feet, in more ways than one, as she flies away from the terrible scene with her on a broom, and gives her the role of being Anisphia’s assistant, which she agrees to.

Anisphia and Euphyllia have personalities that can be seen as polar opposites. Anisphia is a very happy go lucky girl who has excellent ideals around magic, whereas Euphyllia is struggling to fit into this casual atmosphere where no one is forced to be polite and ladylike, and can just have fun. In a way, the theme of rebellion shows itself yet again, as Euphyllia is rebelling against the very nature of her world, to change herself into finding her own purpose, to do the things that she wants, just like Anisphia. There’s a parallel to another anime, Lycoris Recoil, that I can sort of see here, with Anisphia resembling Chisato and Euphyllia resembling Takina, as the former breaks the latter out of her shell to push her to act and do things that she wants to do, not just following orders, like she’s done her whole life. Their dynamic was wonderful to see throughout the anime, as they go through the toughest of battles and emotions together.

To continue the discussion on rebellion, Algard, as polarizing and divisive as he was, ended up being quite a good character, and a villain who had some depth, and someone who allowed us to sympathize with. The world and its politics aren’t great. Its systems of prioritizing magic for the nobility is corrupt and was fully deserving to be broken down. Algard’s actions during this anime make him look like the villain, but he believed he was doing what needed to be done, which was overthrow the power dynamic in this world. He attempts to use his strength rather than change the policies slowly, and he’ll stop at nothing to achieve this goal. The ends justify the means for him, even if that means people need to be sacrificed to do so. Isekai series struggle with villain writing all the time, and while Algard, as decent of a character he was, he wasn’t exceptionally written in my opinion, but it’s most definitely a step in the right direction.

The side cast also added a lot to the cast as well. Tilty and Ilia were amazing characters who kept the main duo true to themselves, and pushed them towards a better relationship with each other.

Now, to the production side of things, the animation was generally very well done, with the fight scenes being exemplary, and the cinematography being amazing even outside of the fight choreography. The soundtrack was also very overlooked, and complimented the emotional and epic scenes very well. Studio Diomedéa was really punching above their weight here, and I never expected this studio to pull off something quite like this.

The main issue I did see with this show was the pacing, but it’s nothing too egregious, as the story was still generally quite decent overall. It felt a little fast at times, as it doesn’t feel like the world was really fleshed out to its fullest. While there was some world building aspects, it didn’t feel as intriguing as it could have been, in its political world building, or the monarchy in general. That said, the adaptation did what it had to, and I wasn’t disappointed at all.

Overall, this show has been quite a joy to watch, with its exemplary cast, solid animation, soundtrack, and themes. It’s a show I never expected to enjoy this much, and while there were some shortcomings, it was a great experience to watch and a great show to discuss about. The second half was quite polarizing among the anime community, but I came out with quite a positive view of it. I assure you, it’s more than just a plain old yuri anime, there was a lot of heart put into this adaptation, so if there’s anything to take away from this anime season, this would be a good choice to watch. I implore you, do give it a fair chance.

Mixed Feelings

Ever since the premiere of Lycoris Recoil there has been a very vocal amount of people that have loved and asked for more yuri anime, even though that show wasn’t yuri to beging but that it isn’t my point, and I’m not saying that more yuri isn’t something that haven’t been asked before, but specially nowadays is that you can notice it everywhere, and if you go and see future premiers of 2023 you will see multiple yuri coming out, and the first one of those announced some time ago was Tensei Oujo to Tensai Reijou no Mahou Kakumei. With a very proactive and energetic ... MC tied to a calmer and more well-mannered girl, it has the perfect recipe to become fond of it quickly due to the contrasting personalities of the two leads, and since this show is actually yuri unlike LycoReco you won’t be getting any of that so-called “yuri bait”.

From the very first second you’ll see how Anisphia, or simply Anis, will behave across the whole series, being the energetic girl that doesn’t care about her duties as a princess and who searches a new way to do magic with her magicology, as she loves magic and thinks it is made to make people smile, pretty charismatic gal . And as stated above, Euphilia, or simply Euphie, is quite the opposite, she is more reserved and is very serious of her duty as a noble and that’s why she tries hard to interact with Algard, whom she is supposed to marry, at least until the incident from the very first episode happened. You’ll see their relationship being cute, the yuri touch is something that I can appreciate, and the way their relationship blooms and Euphie turns into someone more open to others, specially Anis is definitely what will keep you going with this series.

Algard is a whole can of mixed things. He was always shown as rude due to her whole canceling of his engagement with Euphie, and as time goes on, you’ll notice that this guy has an inferiority complex towards Anis, he hates her for abandoning him when she renounced her rights to be the queen, as he felt betrayed since he admired her and wanted to see her become the queen. And then you see his whole plan in action, he wants to take over the kingdom forcefully, basically like a tyrant, and wants to free the commoners from the oppressing system by their hatred towards the nobles as he basically wants to take them down. He opposes his sister because, while she loves magic, he hates it and sees as a curse, so that is the whole ordeal behind their fight, his ideals are opposite to hers. And yet, at the end, everyone is happy and smiling with him while waving him his goodbyes and I’m confused with at. People, he not only tried to take over the kingdom, he pierced through Lainie’s chest to steal her vampiric powers, shot Ilia’s arm, tried to kill Anis and at the very beginning he basically tried to ruin Euphie’s reputation, and I truly do not believe the casual conversation Euphie and Lainie were having with him in an almost happy manner, this treatment goes beyond suspension of disbelief, but at least he was expelled from the kingdom, so something is something I guess.

By the last episodes, you will be noticing how Anis has to come to accept her status as a princess, and this comes with both good and bad things about it. First off, you can notice how she came to a realization after her battle with Algard about how much pressure she threw at him by resigning from being able to take the throne, and she decides to take the duty by herself. And it seems like Anis wants to become the queen, specially if you see how reactionary her personality turns and how emotional she gets every single time someone says to her that she wouldn’t perform well in her duty or that she wouldn’t be accepted due to her lack of magic. Problems that come with this is, and I don’t want to be the guy that gives the reason to the ones that tried to just put her with an old man since they explicitly mentioned it and that they are supposed to be big “No U” characters which you shouldn’t resonate with at all, however, their proposition of the king just making another heir to not have Anis as the queen is actually completely valid and not something out of the realm of possibilities, they even mentioned the age of the king and he seems to be young enough to still keep having children, I know it takes a toll on our main character and her motivations, but the fact that the king does absolutely nothing is baffling, and this is something that happens across the series, the only part where you can say he did something was about the dragon’s attack, even if the only thing he did there was discuss with other aristocrats the way to tackle that problem, and while it was fun seeing how Anis gave 0 shits about the bureaucratic process that was happening to decide if attack the dragon or not and just went to it, it made everything he did not important. Also, the fact that when Anis was debating with Euphie that she shouldn’t become queen and Anis was basically defending these guys that were insulting her is pretty weird, because she has never shown any interest in them up to this point, and I know she wouldn’t like to become a tyrant like what Algard was trying to do since the thing of kings making decisions absolutely by themselves and getting people killed on the spot and them having absolute power is definitely something that isn’t valid in this kingdom, because they aren’t above the law, so Anis cannot just make those old men to disappear even if she wanted to.

And going into this very thing is Euphie’s sense that Anis shouldn’t become queen and keep doing what she wants with the magicology because she cares about her, and then she stumbled onto the solution of doing a covenant with a spirit and turn into part of the royal family. Anis obviously doesn’t take it the right way since she doesn’t want Euphie to become an immortal being, specially not after the explanation given by Lumielle, but for Euphie, this wasn’t a sacrifice since it would mean that she would be the one becoming the queen and Anis could continue with her investigations and the magicology. And, I mean, it was obvious ever since the duel was mentioned that Euphie was going to win, at least that was very apparent to me since this is the whole point of the show, the magical revolution that can be reached through the magicology. Anis accepting that she doesn’t actually want to become the queen makes all her behavior before look weird, but makes complete sense with her character shown through now, but also makes her whole conflict about inheriting the throne and her battle with Euphie kinda pointless, since it could have been solved if she, you know, knew how she herself felt about it?

The series looks pretty, Diomedea isn’t a studio I particularly dislike, I have disliked every other thing they have done, but animation wasn’t one of my complaints on them. Seeing how people reacted by how episode 5 looked like is no wonder why so many people consider Ufotable to be the best studio out there even when Production IG exists, after all, it did a great job at post-production with the flashing lights looking good and not hurting the eyes, however this obviously didn’t have the actual movement to accompany all of that nor the camera direction to actually say it was so great. But don’t get me wrong, I’ll give credit where is due, in the very same episode there was a dragon and it was fully 2D, you don’t see many animes these days trying to pull off that, this very season there is another anime where a dragon appeared and holy, I wanted to tear my eyes after looking at that horribly hideous 3D dragon, so I’m very grateful with this series to actually put effort into hand drawing the dragon, and the series itself is consistent enough in terms of on models for me to not complain, but the battles are always in the same wavelength as the one in episode 5, specially the important ones, so the best choreographed fight ends up being the one in episode 1 with Anis and those monsters.

I’ll handwave this part in the very same way the series did until the end, but this doesn’t have any actual reason to be an isekai, since in case you don’t remember, Anis is someone reincarnated into this world, this is mainly the justification as to why she is looking to do stuff that looks like objects from our real world with the magicology, however, there isn’t any particular reason for it to be this way, you could have made it a normal fantasy series where Anis had a very creative mind and it just so happen to look like things in our world, you know there are people crazy enough to try things different in the very same series like Tilty, but Anis could just have been a very creative girl to do this, because those objects in our world didn’t appear out of thin air and there were creative people behind them, no need to make her a reincarnated person when that adds nothing to the narrative, this isn’t me ranting about isekai series nor an actual issue in this series, it’s just that, despite being part of the title, it truly is unnecessary and it could be cut without anything being different.

Thank you for reading.

Viva the Yuri Revolution!!

Or that’s what I’d say if this series left me feeling excited about it. Sadly I didn’t really enjoy it as a whole.

I enjoyed PARTS of this show, but way, way too much of it was bogged down in seriousness and depression. Why can’t I just have a cute little yuri isekai slice of life series???? I dislike series that can’t pick a tone, and this series definitely had that issue. It started off with the hilarious antics of this bloody, wild princess, who steals away her brother’s fiancé to take for herself. It’s very comedic. I was legitimately laughing at how ...
