Synopsis

In a magical world where humans, demihumans, and oni are heavily at odds with each other, a princess named Saltorine "Sally" Aldike is on a journey to find a person named Mikoto Kibitsu. Traversing the world, Sally comes across many truths that she had been ignorant of due to her lineage—including the knowledge that the oni possess power potent enough to wipe out humanity.

Seemingly blessed with a way to counter the oni's might, Sally has a strange power that manifests itself as a sigil resembling a peach, giving her superhuman abilities capable of defeating powerful oni with ease. Even so, Sally refuses to discriminate between humans, demihumans, and oni as much as possible, believing that peace between the three factions could be attainable one day.

On the contrary, Mikoto—who also has the same ability as Sally's but with greater mastery—has a different goal. Mikoto is out to kill and torment all oni in existence, stopping at nothing to fulfill this objective. As Sally and Mikoto continue to cross paths, the power they possess will spell the difference between amicable coexistence and utter annihilation.

This is such an underrated anime IMO.
Granted the anime is shuffled but the story is a good 8/10. Better than a lot of other anime’s with higher rating.

The art style is good and the characters are well put together. Maybe going a bit more into their backstory would give us a bit more content and let us understand why they’re that way.

If watched in the correct order, I’m sure people would enjoy a bit more. Maybe the low rating comes from frustrated fans trying to find how to properly watch this.
To me, it felt more like a little Easter Egg 🤣

The shuffle of each episode is terrible, and it's confusing. If only the story continued at a normal pace, it'd be a hit!
When it comes to the characters, well, they're fine, and some are badass. I think the shuffling of each episode ruined it. 
and that's the only major problem that I noticed along the way. The animation is great, though, and the fighting scenes are okay! 

Everyone has their own perspective and taste. it's either you'll drop it or finish it | ending up loving it or hating it.
Manga and light novels might be hit differently; I haven't read them yet, but I feel like ...

“Peach Boy Riverside” is what happens when You have a cool premise and still manage to turn it into a boring slog of a show.

One day a princess meets a feminine boy travelling through the land. Being confined to her own kingdom she yearns to hear stories about the outside world. Before that could happen she witnesses as the delicate boy slaughters, with visible pleasure a squad of oni - powerful creatures bent on killing humans.
“Inspired”, if You can really call it that, by the encounter she decides to go on a journey to learn about the outside world. In the beginning her journey doesn’t ...
