Oushitsu Kyoushi Heine

To be honest, this was the best slice of life anime I have ever watched. It bought together comedy and seriousness into the story which made it well-balanced.

One key point that was well made in the anime was the character development. Since the cast was quite small, the main characters all had excellent personality change throughout the story. I could remember their names and personalities very clearly and even though Heine doesnt have much emotions shown through his face or in the story, I could still feel like his personality/person in general was complete.

Although I dont think the opening song was catchy to me, ... I liked the ending song in the final episode, it made me feel happy and sad at the same time since the story is ending. One con though, is the similarity in the voices of the characters. Even though I know the characters by their faces and names, its hard to distinguish them by their voices. It seems to me that Heine had a few similar voices in the same anime.

Although there were pros and cons in this story, I still enjoyed it throughout. Everything was well-paced and balanced. I hope this review was somewhat useful to you. :)

This was my favourite anime of the season and is pretty high up there overall. While at the beginning I thought it would be lacking in plot and just be about cute princes the plot development was great and kept me on the edge of my seat.

More into the plot I've given the story a 10 as, the backstories of each prince and Heine himself are great, they actually make sense in terms of storytelling and characterisation while allowing the plot itself to develop. The underlying issue about who is trying to sabotage the princes and the lack of knowledge about Heine's past keeps the ... story interesting.

The storyline allowed each character to develop while viewers gain insight into their past and the challenges they must overcome. I really loved this aspect as not many anime choose to have a holistic focus on so many main characters. In terms of each character individually, they were all very well fleshed out and character relationships were great. Due to this I've also given characters a 10.

I've given the art style an 8 because while it was good to look at, and tied the story together it was nothing amazing. Even so, the character designs and overall aesthetic looked great.

For me the sound was a 7, I'm basing this mainly on the introduction and ending songs as there wasn't much music throughout, or not that I noticed much. Both introduction and ending song were great and I encourage viewing them, they fit with the theme of the anime and worked very well. What drags this score down is the lack of sound elsewhere. While I typically don't focus on sound and did't notice anything bad about in the anime sound wasn't really used to change the mood.

I really enjoyed this anime, watching it was fun and the numerous cliff hangers made waiting for each new episode a challenge. I've given the enjoyment value a 10.

As such I really recommend watching this anime if you get a chance. While it seems aimed towards a female audience don't let character design fool you, the storyline and character development make up for any issues. Overall I've rated this anime a 9 and will hope for a second season.

I have not read the manga, this is an anime only review. I will try to keep this as spoiler free as possible.

First off, don't let the fact that it has an all male cast taint your view. This is not yaoi or shounen ai.

The story is pretty simple, there are four prince brothers who are in desperate need of an education before they are eligible for the throne.

The story starts when their latest tutor shows up, will he leave in a hurry like the others before him? or will he be able to do the impossible and mold these young men into proper candidates ... for the throne.

I really loved this show. It has stunning visuals that use light reflection in such a beautiful way. The background art is beautiful, the characters all have their own unique look. There is also a good amount of chibi used in the humorous moments that really sell the scenes.

So if you are looking for something fun to watch with a good amount of humor and some emotional moments, you should give it a try.

( This is my first review here I hope its okay)

So I went in with this anime, with very little expectation as I thought it was going to be just fan service with cute humor. But as it went on, I started to enjoy this a lot more then I thought I did.. Yes it does have that ' fan service' feel too it, but don't be scared to try this out, its not cringy, every episode was entertaining, there wasn't any boring filler episodes.. Every episode will make you ... smile, laugh and cry.
The most part of this anime I have to say I loved the most, where all the characters. none of them fell into a shadow of another, all characters where equally interesting, every prince had there own unique personality. I thought I knew who my favouite prince was, but after competing it all, I just cannot decide!
Of course the main character Heine's was just fantastic. He showed very little personality, but he just gave so much..
This anime will give you a lot of feels, and make you appreciate things more and to also judge less!

I adore this anime and I hope that it will continue.

Story: 10
Story is about 4 princes of Grannzreich kingdom who are in need of a tutor for their grooming to be a future king. They happend to reject all previous tutor, so king had to call, Heine Wittgenstein. All of them have different personalities with which Heine has to deal with in order to teach them well.
Story is very sweet and it has a lot of lessons that are even useful for us as readers, not only for princes.

Characters:10
Characters development is great and afer every lesson they princes change their behavior and way ... of thinking. Each character has flaws and virtues and they are very easy to like. 4 princes are very different from each other and have never been out of palace. They have no image of how people live. I personaly like the most how they personalites develop during time and how they actions reflect that.
King is also very interesting character and Heine brings a lot of myster in beginning.

Enjoyment: 10
I'm right now on chapter 59 and after every chapter I don't get cold. I can't wait for new story and I can't wait for some misterjes to be resolved.

The only flaw of it is that story doesn't go as fast as I hoped it would, but it simply doesn't have to.

To put simply, the characters are great!!!! I think the plot can be a bit slow moving and a bit repetitive with the -prince has a bad trait-> Heine helps to fix said trait->Heine acknowledges prince for who he is->everyone gets closer- in the beginning but each episode focuses on the adorable personality issues of all the characters and Heine has a past himself that we dive into.
I don't think the art is anything too spectacular, but there is definitely nothing wrong with it and this anime's focus isn't to have the most beautiful scenes in anime. The focus of this anime is character growth ... and it is definitely meeting that goal!

This is one of the most underrated shows this season in my opinion... OK... Lets start with my review.

Story - 8
A Royal tutor is hired to teach four spoiled princes. Well not unique or original. We had Great Teacher Onizuka and Denpa kyoushi before this.

Art - 7
The art is decent. well.. Good for a comedy anime. the chibi moments were funny.

Sound - 8
OP-ED was okay.
... Voice acting is really good considering the fact that most of main characters are voiced by fairly new voice actors and those who have not voiced many roles.

Music-7
OST is composed by Keiji Inai. The man behind the soundtrack of "Is it Wrong to pick girls in a Dungeon" and "Heavy Object". The soundtrack is decent for a comedy anime and fits the atmosphere perfectly.

Characters - 8
I really like the main character. he's kind of overpowered. All four Princes have their own unique personalities and get good development throughout the series. which is quite surprising coming from comedy anime.

Enjoyment - 9

Overall I really enjoyed this series. Even though it's tagged as a comedy it has equal amount of good drama. This series is a mix of Barakamon, Denpa Kyoushi and G.T.O... If you liked any of those then I recommend you watch this.

(NOT A SHOUNEI-AI/BL/REVERSE HAREM ANIME! ) (No Yaoi Undertones)

My god is this anime heartwarming! I never thought that I will like this anime this much.

The main focus of this anime is definitely its characters. Each character is very relatable. Although their personalities are still pretty cliche but I still love it. I didn't find any characters in this anime to be annoying. Every character has their childish side and this anime shows how they develop to become a full noble prince.

The OP and ED theme are both catchy enough. The visuals are nothing special. The dance sequence by the voice actors for the ED ... theme is pretty well choreographed and fluid. For an idol fan like me, they did impress me.

The art and animation done by studio Brain's Base is spectacular and detailed. They put a lot of effort into the last episode and I love it.

The ending for this series is very satisfying and the developments given to the characters didn't went to waste. Although the ending is predictable, nevertheless they still did a good job at executing it,

I highly recommend this anime if you like anime like Assassination Classroom or you just want a heartwarming SOL anime.

An odd spot to start off the anime with, but still ended up with just the right amount of lightheartedness. Good job on choosing this one to have available to stream, Netflix.

If you're studying to become a teacher, want to find an anime with basic Japanese vocabulary, or even something that you could watch together with your family, this is a really good one. Yeah, you might be slightly offput by how they are the typical type of characters you'd normally see in animes, but yee

It's heartwarming, really cute, and has a necessary antagonist to progress the story revolving around the four quirky princes ... in line for the throne and the royal teacher Heine. I can't stress enough how cute it is. I would have loved to fangirl over them if i was watching this 10 years ago.

Hey folks, this will be a review for Oushitsu Kyoushi Heine. It's not often to find a good teacher anime as of late. Many shows have tried the super teacher theme, and very few have done it right. This happens to be one that has.

The story revolves around 4 princes and their royal tutor. As the royal tutor he is charged with treating the kings 4 children equally, and grooming them for the throne. The show is episodic, each episode has its own issue which generally relates to a certain princes issue. Each prince has his own personality and strength and our MC Heine reaffirms ... their strength while twisting their weakness and making it work for them.

Though each princes story was entertaining it was a bit bland on the world building. The fact that they are princes mattered in the most loose since. I knocked a few points off because I felt the world around the princes didn't matter, which clashed with the main theme a bit.

The art was great. The soundtrack wasn't up my alley.

The characters are what make this show. Heine our main character is the main source of comedy. He is a "Full grown adult" but has the appearance of a child. He's the mysterious super teacher archetype character but they don't go overboard making him crazy or fantastical. The princes all have their own personality, but describing them here would be a spoilers. I however really loved how they handled them.

Overall I enjoyed this anime. I don't think Ill watch it again unless a season 2 comes out, which is possible. However I really want to hand it to the people behind the series. To write a story so its interesting, yet to not overstep you bounds and turn it into a crazy mess is rare. Each character was believable, and you get attached to them in a natural way. The side stories that crop up feel well thought out. The ending wraps everything up yet it also allows you a hope for a season 2. The comedy though thin was a well placed. The drama not overbearing, which I cant praise enough.

In short I suppose the biggest strength of this anime is that it felt like it was a completed idea. You don't really wonder if they had different writers or a change in sensibilities along the way. If you like the first episode you'll like the rest of the show.

TLDR: Pretty good. Enjoyable characters, good pacing, solid story with a solid ending. Give it a shot.

How did I not watch this sooner? Truly one of the best I've seen in my short time in watching anime; and with no boring qualities.


Story: Simple concept; a tutor comes in to teach 4 young princes about what it takes to be a king but also make sure it's to their unique ways. At first, I thought it was quite simple and didn't think that it would go very far, but the more I watch, the more it just became something so invigorating and exciting to see what the princes will learn; the lessons Heine taught to the princes can even apply to how ... we live our everyday lives and it shows how it just works so well. Even when delving into past events to show what happened between Heine and Viktor, everything made sense and answers all the looming questions.

Art: The art is quite unique to someone who enjoys a more traditional style, but it just becomes the norm the more you watch and you just enjoy all those beautiful details; the backgrounds are spectacular, the characters look very unique yet charming, and even subtle things like the eyes can look so scary yet bring so much light to the character, which fits perfectly with this show.

Sound: I never once had problems with how everything sounded. The music is calming and charming, the voices in both sub and dub are very well done, and I never once had trouble with what I listened to; this is coming from someone who is sound sensitive, so this means a lot to me.

Character: I've never had a single problem with any characters in this show; even the villain characters were well done.
Heine is very stern and quite childish, but he was also fair, kind, and never looked down at them like they were stupid while learning from the princes themselves.
Leonhard started as cold, dumb, and very much a tsundere, but he grew to be a strong, caring, creative, and fun-loving prince who could make the town better.
Bruno started as a cold-hearted genius who looked down on everyone, but the moment he worked with Heine and saw him as a master, he grew smarter but also uses said intelligence to teach others and improve the kingdom.
Licht was viewed as a playboy that always loved to mess with girls and doesn't want to do his responsibilities, but later shows his serious and intellectual side that really goes out to make the townsfolk happier in their hometown.
Kai was always the quietest and very scary, but as he showed himself more and shared his kindness, he easily became my favorite character and would be a perfect king.
Viktor also has his own charms as a king and father, but once you see his past and meeting Heine, you really learn how much good he did to the town; he's not a perfect father, but he's the father the princes deserve.
Even the minor characters, from Adele and Maria to Ludwig and Maximilian and even Rosenberg all bring something important to the story and none of them were every pushed too much into the background.

Enjoyment: Once I started watching, I just couldn't stop and before I knew it, I was already at episode 7 before checking; I haven't had that occur like that since my first time watching Shimoneta or Ouran High School Host Club, so you know that's a good show. My only complaint is that this should've been a 24 episode thing cause it went by so quickly and by the time I wanted more, it was almost over; so if another season is made, I'll be on it asap.

Overall: A pretty much perfect anime that I would rewatch again and would very much recommend to someone wanting a new comedy but with an old-time feel. I truly hope for another season because there's so much more that can be done with Heine and the princes.

Probbaly one of the best slice of life anime ever

The story is about a teacher who teaches 4 princes, preparing them to be fit for the next king. Their relationship started off very bad, especially with prince Leonhard

I laughed a lot and this anime never failed to entertaint me.

The story is a so-so but that's expected since this is just a slice of life. But the story is abit become more interesting as the eldest prince made hsi first appearance and apprently, tho there's no real villain, prince eins with count rosenberg is not good guys for the four princes

Heine is so cute. He's an ... old shota
