This was one of very few anime where the romance never felt annoying to me. Great series 8/10

I felt it was kinda wrong to ask if they did it or not yet, Livi looks like a 10 years old to me, I know he is much more mature than that but still.

This series was fine, I'm picky when it comes to shoujo anime. I enjoyed Maeda Rena's performance as a main! (Studio Pierriot should get better mics though) :)

I've been humming or whistling "It's a Tender Rain" to myself all day...I'm definitely ready for a season two. We'll have to see how the sales of the anime and manga do. I don't think we have a release or projections yet.

However in an hereditary monarchy nothing is more important than this. Providing an heir to the throne (and preventing the prospect of a civil war between rival claimants) is the most important duty of the monarch and their spouse. Nike's position at court will not be secure until she does so, regardless of the love between her and Livi. (For an historical example witness Henry VIII who was six years younger than his first wife Catherine of Aragon.)

It was a decent watch. Very lovey dovey series, but a little bit too cheesy for my tastes lol. Agreed Grandma's rain song was a lot better than Nike's (probably because she doesn't use Engrish in it XD ).

Grandma's song was beautiful, unlike Tender Rain...

I'd be a filthy liar if I said that Nike and Livi's relationship didn't disturb me at times.
Episode 7 being a prime example of 'things that I did not find okay'.
Can give it no higher than a fine (6)/10.

Tender rain save the day again, lol at everyone in the kingdom having a party when livi is not around hahaha! Nice ending for a series.

6/10 Great, good, bad & horrible at some part espacially when they try to put tension(love rival) in the anime.

Although I like Nike's song, which would be a nice regular Jpop song for an ED or something, I have to agree that Grandma's song was not only better, but also more fitting for the setting. It just has more of an authentic feel to it.

My thoughts exactly. Well not that I've watched many shoujo anime, but for shoujo romance in general, since I've read plenty of shoujo romance manga. It's hard not to compare, and Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii was a little above average at best among its genre imo. Maybe it's because I couldn't feel the chemistry between the two main...

Nike's rendition of Tender Rain in this episode was way better than the usual one she sings. It was so calm and *cough* tender.

I was never really bothered about the age gap. Livi's 12 (according to chapter 39 or 40 I think) and Nike could only be like 15 (girls' bodies develop earlier) or at most 19. What's a 7-year gap?

I read Usagi Drop...now that's different haha.

8/10. Really hoping for a second season :)

When I think of songs of an ancient, magical art of calling upon the rain, Baba's song is what I might think of. Fuckin' Tender Rain oh please.

For as much as I came to enjoy this show...this ending episode just didn't seem to be paced right at all.

The actual ending with the white horse ride by was pretty lame and again didn't really fit at all minus being cliche as all hell.

It was good. Honestly tossed up on my score right now. The story seemed to be squandered in this adaptation with only 12 episodes. Everyone expected it to be longer. So ya didn't like the ending minus it being very sweet and cementing their love.

Grandma's song is definitely much more fitting with the setting.

I had a good lmao at Bard. Trust him to make things messy while they're gone.

A bit too uneventful to be the last episode, not that it makes me love it any less. Think the show (this season anyways) could had just ended after they left the Rain country.

Random but I really like the OST in this episode.
Also random but Neil has got to be one of the best side characters lol

Overall while not at all a flawless anime, it was quite enjoyable. Will go on to read the manga. Doubtful of another season but it'll be nice if it ever happens :)

Really nice episode, with a new song ( really cool one ) and real feelings. Sad Nike was especially touching, proof the anime has done a great job.

The anime started slowly, but in the end it's a rather nice and legit romance!
And the (almost) final scene with Livi on a horse... priceless.

8/10

How could grandma have THAT voice? lol
Anyway, the ending feels a little off/rushed, I personally would have ended it when they were departing from The Kingdom of Rain. 7/10, really enjoyable for a shoujo. Would watch eventually a second season.

Summary of the final episode:
Nike wants the D so much it made her so wet that it started to rain. The rain was basically the representation of how wet Nike's panties is.

Everyone is obviously happier with Bardouin in charge. God damn those old geezers having fun with all the young girls XD but who wouldn't be happy with Bardouin's garden of flower?

Oh well, it's an okay ending. No sex (even though they should've done it like rabbits by now) so no bumping up score by 2. The story is typical shoujo but Nike is quite a charming lead by herself. The shota love is questionable but amidst all the loli pandering that the male demographic had, it's only fair for the girls to have their share too. There were some moments which was a bit too dramatic (like Livi slapping Nike till she bled) but it's an enjoyable experience for the most part.

6/10. Could've been 8 if they had slept together.

But seriously, Nike's grandma's song and voice was beaaaaautiful. I'm kinda sad that this show is only rated 7.57 or something, I was hoping it will rise up to 8.0 but *shrugs* But, still like this series, one of my favourite show this season. I'll just fangirl first.

In my opinion, my favorite ending of the Spring season and it came from something I wouldn't expect to amaze me that much.

That damn OST they play like every episode. And it works perfectly every single damn time. I need the OST like now, especially the song that came at like five minutes in the episode where Nike confronted her grandma. They play that song so much, but they use it so well each time.

And well I almost teared up when grandma sang the farewell song. Wish Pierrot gave this show better animations and I think the twelve episode run worked very well for this show as it is making me want to go read the manga. Beautiful ending.

Baba's song was so beautiful... It had such a unique feel to it, really lovable.

I am gonna miss this series and the "Tender Rain" song. Also Nike and the side-cast.

8.5/10. 2nd season because I didn't expect the horse at end. Okay kidding, I genuinely want a 2nd season. I am so gonna miss the OST, the ED, The OP, Baba's song, Nike's song... All were fab.

They are about 40 chapters out and translated to ch. 20, so they don't have enough "material" for a second season, but maybe they will be in a year or so.

So it ended full of hearth and feelings 9/10


hmm alright. the anime must end somewhere and taken something out from the manga or something for the manga to still be ongoing.


Personally I think this was a good place for this series to end, considering that it ended around Chapter 18 or 19 here. Reason for this is simple, the next 10 or so chapters following the end of the anime pretty much encompass an NTR arc for Nike with Livi nearly 95% not present in the entire arc. I mean, if you are fine with Nike with another male lead for over half of Season 2, then I guess you wouldn't mind. For me, I'm good thanks.

Ah, it's not the age gap that bothers me. I really thought Livi is like 11 years old or something, it would be weird if he becomes a father at that age. But I checked, he is supposed to be 15. It's fine then.

Such a good ending episode. Man,I never expected to like this show so much,considering that barely watch any shoujo anime. But if more of them were like this,I'd jump on them right away.

8/10

And also,Nike & Livi for best couple of the year.

Heh,I'm with you there. The best thing about this show is undoubtedly when the focus is on Livi & Nike. Remove either of them and it'll loose it's charm.

Kyaaa! that kiss. OMG. It's so cute!

The Grandma looks pretty when she was young. Wow, and I think the grandma's song is more fitting for the setting not like "Tender Rain". Tender Rain sounds modern and it has english parts. lol.

Overall, this is pretty nice, cute, and funny series. Some scenes are cheesy and some scenes escalate quickly. 8/10. One of the animes I look forward to every week. I'm a little sad it's over.

Great series. I loved the characters, plot progression, adventure themes, nostalgia feels, and music! It's a tender rain.

Best shoujo AND romance this year so far. Oh also, best OST along with Haikyuu!! and Sidonia.

It's a shame the final score isn't in the 8s yet.

Me too I'm not really into shoujo, so I didn't have high expectation. But I was surprised, this was quite enjoyable and I do not regret picking this up this season. It did its romance and comedy quite well. A bit cheesy at time, but I guess that was part of its charm too.

Really sweet episode, was so fun watching this anime and it was nice to see the little ending and see the whole character development.

Would have really liked to see Nike and Livi in ten years or something, or see him taller haha.

Very cute anime, I really enjoyed it :)

Edit: the way she sung tender rain in this episode I thought was quite fitting and beautiful.
