Peach Boy Riverside

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.

Peach Boy Riverside is not so bad animation when you watch it in different order.
I suggest to line up episodes as 4, 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 11, 12, 5, 6, 8, 10.
If you watch it like this it's rating could be quite good.

Story in right order is quite normal adventure one. 7 points
I do like the adventure part of the story but it's not anything very new.

Art is nice, about 9 points.
The scenery and monsters and everything are made with great care.

... Sound is good, 9 points.
Someone have done a good work with sound, that makes it more and more understandably why the episodes are such a mess.

Character development is actually interesting. Especially I like Carrot and Frau, Sally is little bit too immature. 8 points.

Enjoyment 7 points.

That means overall 8 points.

Mixed Feelings

Peach Boy Riverside......Now this is an anime that stands out from all the other animes this season. But sadly not for the right reason.

*spoilers*
This anime started off rather strong with our generic mc meeting hare folk who is passed out on the side of street. Our mc helps the harefolk and one things leads to another and our faces are filled with very interesting concepts including inequality and a sense of corruption. But after that its all down hill from there. We are then shown with what are meant to be antagonist but a futile attempt of where no one is actually evil buts ... its all to do with perspective. This fails miserably as none of the characters are in anyway memorable.

But even with all this I still enjoyed the story. But then they add an extremely confusing concept that through me off entirely and even had me wondering if I had missed episodes. But no...it turns out they decided to make the anime out of order which doesn't follow the manga in the slightest which ruined the series for me.

Characters 5
The character and per say bad by any means but they don't have anything that makes them entirely memorable or leaves an impact. The main girl is rather boring and can sometimes be annoying with her personality being way too positive. Her counter part mikoto who I really enjoyed at the start left me slightly disappointed in the end because he was a very generic "I need revenge character". Everybody else was fine but nothing too crazy.

Animation 7
The animation was fairly decent to say the least. It wasn't anything spectacular but if got the job done nicely. There wasn't any chi that I can recall throughout the series that was very nice.

Enjoyment 6
Even after everything I still enjoyed the series even with all its flaws. The fights were interesting and had me entertained, but I just didn't really care for the characters and I feel like there was a lot that wasn't explained as it should have. *cough* *cough* frau.

Overall 6
it was aight but I was expecting better ngl

First time writing a review so don’t tell me to go jump off a cliff if I have no clue what I’m talking about.
Peach Boy Riverside is honestly wasted potential. One of the shows I was really interested in, due to my love for myths and lore’s, and sad to say but I was really let down by it. An already set up premise ruined by a horrible method of storytelling. The shows later episodes honestly made me want to drop it, due to how mind numbingly annoying the arrangement is and how shit barely makes sense.

Story: (2/10)
Honestly there’s nothing much to say about the ... story. It’s set in your usual fantasy world with humans and demons and big tiddy anime girls. It’s filled with clichés and often times have no idea where they want the story to go towards. The first few episodes will definitely get you interested, but the problem starts in the later half. The storytelling in this show is horrible. The episodes being scattered is honestly annoying and rly takes you off the world (worse if you’re watching weekly). The story introduces various major events and backstories out of the blue, then proceeds to not explain the outcome or the effects of thy said events. Like bruh, the last thing I want to do is brainstorm the events of 9 episodes and put them in order before watching the latest one.

Characters: (5/10)
Probably one of the redeeming aspects of the show. The characters aren’t the most unique or mind blowing, but they blend into the world well and honestly makes you curious to see their journey through. The most interesting character is definitely Mikoto. A feminine looking male, whom every one confuses for a girl, which is a running gag on the show. His backstory is simple yet interesting. It’s honestly amusing to see him go from being all quiet and collected, to losing his shit and getting horny over the thought of killing ogres. Sally is another character that catches your eye for two reasons, her powers and slightly less yet fiery thirst for killing ogres (similar to mikotos) and of course, those big fat buzzums, praise the lord!
The 2 main characters have contradicting aims, one seeking peace between the ogres and humans, and the other seeking total annihilation of their species, and it really is fun to see how this plays out.
The side characters are just there for the sake of being there, doesn’t really catch your attention or get you heavily invested in them. Fraus a walking, talking rabbit who turns into batman for a short while…oh yeah apparently he’s also dead idk. Carrots swaying between her ogre origins and human affections is executed pretty poorly. The knight guy is there…yea. Milias hyper active nature and her interactions with ogre hating mikoto is fun to see. But that’s honestly it for side characters.

Art: (6/10)
With the sheer abundance of isekais plaguing my eyes with the same, generic art, it’s almost refreshing to see a somewhat new and unique art style. Now it’s definitely no Monogatari or Violet Evergarden, but it’s enough to deserve a pat in the back. The animation is….alright I guess. The fair few fights there is has subpar animation, and most fights end before you can even realize what happened (or maybe I fell asleep idk). The backgrounds and surrounding gives you an olden age fantasy world vibes. The art fails in the demons aspects tho. Although the main demons have some uniqueness to them, the lesser ones look super generic, and often times comical. It fails to convince you that these are an actual threat and feels more like a villain out of power rangers. Kinda takes you away from the world, but thankfully Sally’s tiddys are there to hook you right back in.

Sound: (5/10)
I don’t really pay attention to sound, but the OSTs in this show are decent. It definitely helps to make u feel the olden fantasy vibes a lot more. The OPs and EDs alright, nothing spectacular.

Overall: (4/10)
Definitely not the worst thing to ever come out since corona, but not good enough to leave you satisfied or looking back on it fondly. The episodes were fun in its own means sure, but I felt more annoyed than pleasant after completing every episode, remembering that the previous episode and the next one has no co-relation to the one I just watched. I regret watching it weekly, I feel like I would have appreciated the show more by binging it in the proper order. It had a lot of potential to be a fairly decent fantasy show in the pile of repetitive garbage that we get nowadays. Not a show that makes me want to overdose on heroin, but definitely not one I’m going to think of when I want to watch a fantasy show in the future.

Again, absolute beginner reviewer. If my words are absolute camelshit than I apologies. It’s honestly just what I felt about the show. Anyways its 5 am here, gunna stop overdosing on caffeine and go hibernate for the next 3 days. Peace!
