Kekkon Yubiwa Monogatari

A decade ago, princess Krystal Novaty “Hime” Nokanatika traveled from another world to escape assassination attempts by an evil force. When she arrives in modern-day Japan, she encounters Haruto Satou. With him she shares a promise: he must forget what he has just witnessed, and the two will become friends. Now heading back to the Nokanatika Kingdom to fulfill her royal duties, Hime bids farewell to Haruto. However, when the young man suddenly remembers his first meeting with Hime, he rushes to the location where she first appeared and crosses the dimensional portal to be reunited with her.

His arrival disrupts the marriage ceremony between Krystal and prince Marmarugias Gisaras. The wedding is brutally interrupted by the attack of an abyss monster who threatens the princess' life. Acting impulsively, Hime decides to exchange rings with Haruto, which grants her new husband light powers that permit him to slay the monster. Now dubbed as the Ring King, Haruto must marry four other princesses to acquire new magical powers and have a chance to prevail in his fight against the enemy of the world: the Abyss King.

Tales of Wedding Rings is an anime that reminds me of many other stories. It’s like a mix of The Lord of the Rings, Jobless Reincarnation, The Seven Deadly Sins, and a pinch of the American movie A Knight’s Tale, but in the harem genre.

In short, zero originality. But even so, everything works.

Tales of Wedding Rings tells the story of a boy who must gather rings of power to defeat a legendary demon king. The catch is that these rings are wedding rings, so he must, in short, find his wives.

Therefore, the story focuses on the search for these wives. The task will not be ... easy. It’s not that the girls will accept him easily. Moreover, all of them have complicated backgrounds that the protagonist will have to resolve.

Tales of Wedding Rings is truly an entertaining and well-told story. Each episode presents a challenge and an exciting adventure for the viewer.

What doesn’t work in this anime, as I mentioned at the beginning, is its lack of originality. It’s hard to get excited about a bunch of situations that have parallels in other stories. It’s like traveling to a place you’ve been to several times. You may like the place a lot, but it’s hard to get excited.

THE GOOD: A good and well-told story.
THE BAD: Lack of originality.
LOOKING FORWARD to the second season. It looks promising.

Mixed Feelings

This anime is the typical ecchi harem isekai you may probably know if you watch it with high expectations in mind but as a critic who turned off his brain for a while and watched this, I enjoyed this A LOT! Unexpectedly but yes, though I did noticed a lot of flaw in the anime but I can't deny the fact that I enjoyed the wackiness of this one. So here are what I noticed in the anime:

Character 7/10
I like em, typical group of girls in a harem though the guy is not your typical harem guy so I actually like him a bit. Though ... as you may expect, not all of them have well written characters since the story mainly focuses on our two couple which are Satou and Krystal. They are the only ones who have actual goal and actual human like behavior; whilst the others are just "anime characters" who fills in the gap to make it a harem.

Story 7/10
Story is funny, kind of reminds me of legend of zelda, collecting these to defeat the main antagonist and all that. Though it's kinda shallow considering how easy they went off and married Satou the mc. The only realistic marriage I've seen throughout the story was Nifrits (the elf girl) because she's the only one who actually took a little more time to convince to get married. But that was it, the story is a good enough push to the story though there are times when the character developments feel forced just so the story can go on .

Art direction 8/10
I KNOW, there are lots of times when their anatomy is off, when their heads look too small or even their hands look weird. But what really got me is HOW GOOD THE COLORS ARE AND THE BACKGROUND DESIGN! gotta give to those folks who colored this anime and drew the backgrounds, this is some good shite. Its funny how shallow the story is, expecting it to be something like highschool dxd and then you see the quality of the art and you're just like "yo what the hell, okay maybe i underestimated it a bit too much"

Sound direction 9/10
I'm not sure if it's because of my earphones but damn this anime got some solid sound design. I also liked the music motifs and themes made for each scenarios and characters. It sounds like they actually put some money into this anime, hands down.

Overall 7/10
I watched this expecting this story would be over once i finished episode 12 but after seeing that horribly made cliffhanger at the last second, i got disappointed. How fast the story was progressing felt like it was rushing because the episode 12 was near, and then i see episode 12 with its stupid cliffhanger, then what was the point of the plot dragging so fast if its not yet finished? If there would be season 2 then at least they couldve made the pacing slower, which couldve been a good opportunity for deeper characters. And because of that rushed story, none of them barely has any actual character, how disappointing, just when i was enjoying the show. But oh well, guess ill read the manga instead.

There are lots of questions for this anime if you think logically! What I question most is the strangest thing, I swear.

* Where has the demon knight been for 10 years? even though he wanted to take all the rings. whereas in the anime it is told that the Demon Knight is strong, the only one who can kill him is the king of the ring. So, while Hime was transferred to another world, where was the Demon Knight? why not take the other ring first, why wait for Hime, the owner of the ring of light?

* If you think "the ring of light is ... the key to all rings, so that's why the Demon Knight has to take the ring of light first?" But why, when he failed to get the ring of light, did the Demon Knight change course and look for the ring of wind? If the ring of light is the key then why did he move to target the ring of wind? If you really want to be taken by a demon knight so that the MC doesn't use it, why not do it beforehand when Hime is transferred to another world???? and the king of the ring isn't here yet??? It should be easier to take!
