Do you enjoy an innocent historical romance between two characters tied by fate? Want to experience a show with a healthy dose of charming love? Then, Taisho Otome Fairy Tale might be something that interest you. And just like the title, this is a like a fairy tale with two humans.

Adapted by the manga of the same name, I don't say this lightly about historical romances. Honestly, historical theme shows are often talked about for their battles, history, and overall, cultural context. It's not too often when romance is a central part of the show's context. That's where we meet the fated pair, Tamahiko Shima ...

Though there’s a lot of amazing anime in this season,but honestly this is the best one so far for me.
The reason ?
Well,CAUSE THIS ANIME IS A MASTERPIECE.
The amout of sweetness and wholesomeness in this anime is far exceed the amount that I can handle,not a bad thing though in fact it’s actually a good thing.
It’s been a long time since a romance anime can give me such warmness and happy feeling after watching every episode,usually romance anime these days can be tedious and very boring,well not this one,I can assure you,there’s no single episode that deserved to be called “boring”.the sweetness that this show ...

Writing a romance story set in the early 20th century Japan that doesn't feel exploitative is a tall order. Back then, women were still perceived as little more than the property of their fathers with the equally endearing prospect of becoming the property of their future husbands via an arranged marriage. They were mostly uneducated beyond basic schooling, had very few rights, their career opportunities were severely limited and had all sorts of visible and invisible barriers. Not exactly the best place and time to be born without the fifth limb, as you can imagine. It followed that any true romance for a woman of ...

Taishou Otome is one of those romance animes that has the power to give you diabetes because of its sweetness overdose: from the characters, plot, storyline, dialogue, etc.

The manga is on par with this anime adaptation. Since the chapters in the manga are very short and it only has one major arc, Taishou Otome really exceeded my expectations. People compare this anime to Tonikawa Kawaii, which I find it interesting, because of how sweet of our two beloved main characters. Their blossoming romance and cute romantic moments, including dialogue, really strikes my heart to invest to watch this anime more. Common thing between those ...

Taishou Otome Otogibanashi is my first ever seasonal anime for which I had no prior knowledge before starting. This is the anime through which I learned how truly agonizing waiting a week for an episode is. With that out of the way lets review this.

The story of this anime isn't groundbreaking. Its about the son of a rich family who loses the use of his right hand in an accident and is discarded from the family for being useless. To help him his father sends a girl to the home he was banished to, to help him.

The art is very good and a pleasure to ...

One of my favourite. Everyone talks about AOT, demon slayer, jujutsu kaisen... But this one is too a masterpiece like them. It went all the way through my nerve and made my day. The plot is so good and heartwarming that it made me cry some of the time. There is no ntr, love triangle or harem. So the romance is pretty innocent and heartwarming. I love this anime very much. Really hoping that there will be a season 2 since there is further story in manga.

I think the rating of theis anime should be higher since there is very few romance anime with ntr(indirectly ...

Yeah ik she's technically a loli, but the setting is in 1920 and it's Japan, anything goes.


So, Taishou Otome is a beautiful piece of art if you like romcoms, if you don't, then why are you watching this? This isn't a show with super deep characters and real relationship problems, it's a wholesome show. It gives us an escape from the harsh reality, and brings us into this perfect world of wholesomeness.

This show is VERY wholesome, it gives us all that warm feeling, and of you're thinking "Oh but this is a dream scenario and this would never happen", yes I know, but that doesn't ...

Wow just Wow. My gosh this was a masterpiece.
If you are looking for a feel good motivational anime this one is going to be right up your alley. The characters were amazing the MC’s growth through the 12 episodes was phenomenal and the heroine was just perfect. The art/animation was a straight up 10/10. The fact that this came out in 2021 and all the backgrounds were hand drawn and not a single bit of CG. The music was fantastic the op and the ed were great to listen to, I never once felt like skipping either one. It takes place in 1920’s Japan ...

Has anyone else noticed the ending credits song? Incorporates Jackson 5's song "ABC" and Gloria Estefan's "1-2-3" with a Japanese pop singer - pretty good mix there. (I'm a millennial, but my dad used to play in a band at bars when I was a kid, so it stuck out.)

This show at times is funny, other times heartwrenching. I usually go with isekai anime because life sucks (you're not the only one who feels that way, Tamahiko), but after reading the description, tried something new, and this one's worthwhile.

The Perfect Waifu Doesn’t Exi-

I’ve been trying to really think hard about why I shouldn’t give Taishou Maiden Fairytale a 10/10 because this probably one of the most underrated, wholesome and sweetest rom-com shows of the fall season NAY, of 2021!

Whilst most rom-com anime take place in a high school and need to rely on gimmicks to break away from it’s contemporaries (unless the anime in question is really well written) Taishou Maiden Fairytale is set in a 1900’s era village in the mountains of Chiba were Tamahiko Shima lives alone in an isolated manor after being exiled from his wealthy family for the ...

It was not part of my plans to write a review for this anime but Oh boy! IT IS SO WHOLESOME and I love it.

The anime bought me since the first chapter, and I am just 4 chapters in. The story may be simple, but the main couple is just.......so cute together and compliment each other so well. I am looking forward to more interactions among them and the chaos that I can foresee (other characters bringing).

The art is ok and I love the main girl's design. Sound is ok.

This is definitely one of the gems of this season and I'm looking forward to more ...

Looking for a romantic anime with a relaxed feel? I think this anime is the answer!

As the title suggests, this anime will be set in the Taisho era.
Honestly I'm a little confused about what to say about this anime, I know this anime is good, and it was recommended by me, but I have a hard time finding the right words to describe how good it is, and looking at the number of recommended reviews which is relatively small, while the score is quite high, maybe some of them feel the same way I do, it's hard to describe in words.
So I'll just give you ...

Taishou Maiden Fairy Tale, a feel good romance that made me tear up so much it wasn't even funny. If you like wholesome, cute romance shows, this show is definitely for you. Furthermore, it's a historical romance, which isn't seen very often, so it's quite unique.

My grading criteria: Story: /25 Art: /10 Music: /10 Characters: /20 Enjoyment /15 Comedic/Romance themes /20

STORY: 17/25

Although not anything special, it hits some good notes. The main character, Tamahiko Shima, lost his use of his right hand in an accident, and got cruelly neglected by his family, and naturally developed depression and thinks that he's a useless human being, until ...

After finishing the anime, I immediately read the manga and I can say that the manga has a more complete narration of the story and characters.

Firstly, the animation is fine, but in some scenes, the facial expressions are lacking. Secondly, the use of the song is very good. Thirdly, Tamahiko character development is good, but I wish Yuzuki character could be explored more deeply, such as being shown skeptical and sad when she first arrives at the Tamahiko family mansion so it doesn't make her feel like a one-dimensional character. The last things I liked is the development of love between tamahiko and yuzuki and ...

This was one of the most heart warming and amazing animes to grace this planet this year. The build up of anxiety, fear, and pessimism from episode 10 and 11 that had us biting our fingers, desperately hoping and praying for yuzu to be alive. The heart warming ending of episode 12 showing how tamahiko has finally found a man in himself, his dedication to live his life for yuzu and yuzu's unfaltering, unwavering, and unconditional love towards tamahiko. This anime is so deserving of a second season. In fact, the preposterous rating of 7.75/10 on myanimelist.net is utterly insulting to the point of near ...

Reading these reviews sure makes me sad about the state of our world. So much bitterness and anger, so much jaded cynicism and looking to attack others, that we can't even enjoy an anime such as this one without throwing around terms like Misogynistic, Predator, Lolicon, Female Fantasy, Male Fantasy, Feminazi, etc... It's ridiculous, man. Have we gotten to a point where we can't even watch what is basically a modern day studio Ghibli film without pulling the proverbial knives out?

This anime was a lovely anime about a teenager who was viciously abused emotionally by his family and outcasted for being soft, long before ...

Now this is some goofy romance right here.
I am obsessed with the whole "arraigned partnership but it's okay because we end up falling super hard for each other but more importantly we become better people for it" trope, so when people started recommending this show to me I was in. And overall I do really enjoy this one. The art style is one of my favorite parts. It's so soft and simple and just makes you feel so cozy. And I love watching all these characters I kinda hate at the start grow and change into wonderful people. A part of me sees myself ...

I want to preface this by saying that this is a HISTORICAL piece of fiction. Meaning that the customs, cultures, and events of the story are both integral to the plot and very outdated for the modern era. Because this is a point that I’m going to be talking about at length and for the most part, does affect my feelings towards the show.

Story:

During the height of the Taisho era of the 1920’s, a man of 17 named Tamahiko Shima becomes a victim of a car crash with his mother passing away because of the incident. Tamahiko himself loses the use of his right hand ...

I am aware that the story is set in a different era where things were perceived differently; However, you shouldn't think so much about it when you see such a beautiful anime, the story, the characters, it's incredible to me how I loved the story from the first minute. I fell in love with the characters instantly. This is one of my favorite animes, you feel the innocence, the love, and sometimes the fear when the characters are in trouble. No anime had ever given me such a high level of empathy. The art, the music are perfect, there is nothing to complain about, however ...

What a beautiful take on a beautiful romance story. Tomahiko was a product of his upbringing. He was miserable and dejected and completely unloved. He had been convinced that he didn't deserve to be loved. Although it was under terrible circumstances, he had his future wife sent to him. Yuzu is portrayed as a happy young lady, though the circumstances could easily not let her be.

I do think it's cliche that she's strong and happy for somebody who's not, but this was a nice way to handle it. The story progresses reasonably and nothing is left hanging and upon initial review, I don't find any ...
