Oushitsu Kyoushi Heine

Equally charming and stern, Heine Wittgenstein is a brilliant man who commands respect, despite his short, childlike stature. Thus, the king of Grannzreich has called upon Heine to undertake a daunting task that has driven away many before him—become the new royal tutor to four princes who are in line for the throne.

The four heirs each have very distinct and troublesome personalities: Licht, the flirtatious youngest prince; his immature older brother, Leonhard; Bruno, the studious third prince; and Kai, the oldest of the four and the most reserved. Hilarity ensues as Heine attempts to connect with each of the princes in order to groom them for the throne. However, Heine's mysterious past and dark undercurrents in the present may threaten the harmony within the kingdom.

Overall I would rate it a 9/10

The art is extremely pleasing to look at and even the soundtrack is nice. I found the characters to be very fun, usually i dislike some of the tropes they used here but they made it fit like no other. No character was I annoyed by. For some reason even the obnoxious ones didnt annoy me because they were portrayed as people with actual personalities not a one dimensional character.

If you enjoy when the main character is extremely smart basically a genius in their fields, I would say to give this anime a try. Maybe not one of ... the best anime's I've watched but still I enjoyed it thoroughly. It may seem a bit serious but if you enjoy heartwarming conversations and some comedy I'd definitely recommend it.

One thing though, do not come watching this anime for romance as there is nothing serious, and that is what makes it extremely enjoyable. The plot is pretty straightforward and nothing is overcomplicated.

Mixed Feelings

Oushitsu Kyoushi Heine borders somewhere between being good and just alright. It's a lighthearted character driven slice of life story, focused on self-improvement so each of the princes can become worthy candidates to the throne. The characters themselves are unfortunately fairly simple, but still have enough depth and charm so that I wouldn't describe them as being one-dimensional. All of the princes have easily memorable personalities and flaws due to this simplicity, so given the show is only 12 episodes long, being simple may be a necessary evil. The dialogue was kind of bland, I'm not sure what is was about it but it felt ... like what a character in a book would talk like rather than a real person. All of the plotlines themselves are also very straightforward and mostly predictable, but despite this it was all really wholesome, and didn't bother me all too much. To my surprise there's actually an underlying plot behind all of this, which was fairly enjoyable, although I would've preferred if there was a larger emphasis on world building as there seemed to be some potential.

The show's humor was decent; I don't think it tried too hard to be hilarious, just enough to keep you entertained. A lot of the verbal jokes were on a similar caliber to "look the tutor is short" and "that ostrich thinks you look like a girl," but I did actually enjoy a lot of the visual humor like when Heine turns into a pouty chibi.

On the technical side of things, if anyone actually cares:
The animation is good, although not impressive.
The art is nice, but the artstyle is fairly generic. There were maybe 2 or 3 character designs that made a good impression on me.
The music is fitting, but also fairly unnoticeable, and doesn't stand out as anything special.

Overall I say while it isn't a standout show in any regard, it's quite wholesome, and more or less enjoyable the entire way through (maybe with some minor cringe at parts). I don't recommend going out of your way to watch it, but if you think you'd enjoy a wholesome slice of life I wouldn't recommend against it either. 6.5/10

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

Short review here.
First of all, every man in this anime is a feminine boyo.
The heirs, the guards, even the tutor.
The arguments are so dull and stupid.
Most of these dudes are blushing whenever they are talking to the tutor.
I don't if this anime is about teaching the royal family heirs or is about who is going to kiss the teacher first.
Anybody could simply tag this anime as Yaoi and save us some time.
3 episodes of 23m and the plot still hasn't progress...
This is what you would call a bad rom-com...
Whoever draws the settings is amazing tho!
3/10
