of course Shuu would win that's the only reasonable outcome

Shu definitely has most of the qualities as well as the rights to be the next king even from the very start:

1. He's male.
2, He's the eldest child.
3. He is the eldest son.
4. He has already found his future Queen.


On top of that, he reassured the citizens so they don't go into a panic during a crisis, and displayed leadership qualities in directing his siblings to guide the zeppelin to a safe landing...although they poked fun at him for not simply teleporting it away in the first place, but he can play it off saying he's never tried teleporting something so large before. In the end, I'm glad he became King...the other siblings would have been terrible leaders of a country--except for Aoi or Kanade, who would probably be good dictators.

Yesss the realest in the show gets to be King, as I already said there was no one even close fam.

It was nice seeing everyone help out in that mission, pretty fun series from start to end.

I was routing for him from the start and it's nice to see him being the new king :D

But I'm kinda disappointed that he went with Hana tbh D: Not that I hate her or anything but I was hoping for him to go incest route or harem there? :D

Hey... that was just for fun. Not seriously meant it :D
But yeah I'd have prefer it that way.

Ironically, I really hated the OreImo and Yosuga no Sora ending with an incest route ._.

Nice and probably the most obvious choice for electing Shuu as the next king. He is the most suitable after all. He even looks like his father when his father was younger!

Rushed or not, I'll accept this ending regardless. 8/10 for this. Probably one of the few anime where I like all of the characters.

So Shuu won in the end but that speech of his was pretty sly in the are ship.
He managed to get people voting for him in the last moment.
And he finally introduced Hana to his parents.
Aoi drawing back from the election wasn't surprising seeing all the doubt she had not to mention her power.
It's a shame we can't see more of Akane anymore.

Did not expect to enjoy this anime as much as I did. Really glad it went with character focused episodes and not MC focused (not that I know of the source material). Sweet ending too. Not unsatisfying.

Not the ending. No. For a starter, the election would happen in three years time not one year in the source material and the source material is still in year one.

so no 2nd season im guessing?

this is one of those shows that you can sit back and relax and really enjoy. It's pretty funny and the characters are amazing you can really connect with them emotionally , the art is questionable at some points but never the less well deserved 8 in my book.

It was a real fun show can't wait for the Blurays as this will be an anime I will definitely own. It was one of the animes that I watched because it was new but glad I watched it. 9/10 hoping for an OVA, other than that it was really good. The ending gave closure but there are many people including me that wouldn't mind a second ending.

And so somehow everything stays the same as before in this town with Shuu the new king.

I really like Akane at the end. She really represents the town: Moving on without changing too much.
She was my favorite character anyway.

This was a nice enjoyable show. Had a lot of fun watching. OVA please?

Somehow I wish they'd actually followed the manga and left room for the possibility for a second (and perhaps even third) season.
This was a decent enough comedy SOL with it's fair share of funny, cute and dramatic moments, which didn't deviate from the overall theme of the show.

Loved the characters, with all their flaws and insecurities, though it seems to me that Haruka was the one who got the short end of the stick when it came to overall screen time and character development. We even got some background on the parents as well, which was a big plus in my book. Still would have been great if we got to see the mom's siblings making appearances as well....

8/10 for me. This show doesn't try to be what it's not, and does a great job at showing what it is. Wish there were plans for more though.

I like that Shuu won but I would have liked for them to more clearly show WHY he won. But yes I'm 99% satisfied with this turnout.

The other 1% is because the next best thing to happen would be if all of them ruled as like a joint council sort of thing.

Doubt the series sold too well. Second Season wouldn't happen either way, so I'm glad they decided to wrap it up here.

Shuu was the obvious pick for the good of the country


The only other pick I could see working out as well as him is probably Haruka tbh. Aoi would be in there too but her ability is lowkey kinda OP and dangerous.

never expect shuu will become a king. i expect akane will win the election, even though i want kanade to win.
but, he looks very suitable for a king.

that zeppelin was pretty random... but it's fun to see everybody work together.
one the best siblings that I've ever seen.

very nice show, i like it very much. 7/10

Nice, Shuu is indeed the most fitting to be a king. Haruka could work too, but he is just too young to be a king, he would be a wise king in the future.

I think Shiori is a bit too mature and smart for her age, she is 4-5 year old according to MAL.

I've never expected I would enjoy this anime so much. I just randomly picked this and I couldn't believe how interesting this anime is.
Akane's blushings are also my main motivation to watch this show :>

This is definitely my Anime of the Season. Definitely would watch the 2nd Season if any.

9/10

Really loved this series a lot. Best thing was the way they focused on all the characters almost an equal amount even though they're quite a lot. Wished for more Shiori screen time tho :(

Shu winning was nice. It was mostly gonna be between him and Akane but he's the more logical choice. The Balloon incident and how it was handled was cool. Man Shiori's ability is awesome.

8/10.

I really liked the show.
But, the ending just made me a little disappointed. Don't really know why.
Shuu ending up as King was fine, although I was secretly rooting for Shiori....
*cough* I swear, I'm not a lolicon *cough*

Still was the second best anime this season for me after Rokka though! =)

So it was Akane who was Dandelion from the Castle Town, I kinda get the title of this show now. Hmm, but the ending was pretty bland. I kinda expected Shuu will become new king as he was the most fitting candidate. Kinda disappointing though as whole elections were pretty pointless in result.

(I get it their father wanted to make them stand for themselves but it was kinda half-assed decision as he could create many other opportunity for them. And episodic feel of every episode didn't help either)

I somehow enjoyed this series as there were some good episodes out there but in the end there was almost nothing that would make this anime stand out. It was just forgettable, average in all its aspects. Which is not bad if you think about it but it's not good either.

5/10 Watch and forget.
(yeah, average score is 5, people, not 7)

Showing to everyone who's boss, I see. I bet that the reason he took action like that was in order to gain him some last-minute points for the last spurt, since he could've just teleported the whole blimp, as Akane pointed out. He's a smart one, I tell ya :p

But yeah, very good series. Akane even grew on me more than I expected too! The end card was pretty sweet too, and very fitting since it came from the original author too :p

I laughed out loud when Kanade announced her intention to rule with an iron fist *whiplash*

I am surprised the father didn't said "Since I am retired I am going on a second honey moon, expect new siblings when we return!"

hlubkoj2020 said:
At least no one gets hurt and like Akane say, why didn't Shuu just use his power?


I think there must be limits to his power, just like Akane couldn't completely decelerate the blimp, Shuu can't teleport objects that big.

It was okay-ish. It was fun but not that good. Especially the ending is kind of anti-climatic and out of nowhere. A sick guy? Check. Main characters help each other to not leave behind any rivalry hatred between them? Check.

Of course Shu wins. Otherwise why would there be so much thing revolved around him (even I think he got more story than Akane).

So I'd rate 6/10 for the story and what I think kinda lame ending. Oh well, does that mean there will not be a second season? HanaKana and Akane would drag me for 2nd season surely.

Gutted that Aoi decided to drop out of the running. But Shu makes a good King. When Shiori grows up, she'd make the best King :D

Nice way to end the series; was actually worried at one point they wouldn't show who won the elections, but glad they did. Also nice to see them work together with their powers to save the citizens.

Overall I give this a solid 7/10.

Interesting story, good set of characters. Cheesy at times, but makes for easy viewing. Art was fine; OP and ED themes were a little cutesy, but suits the series.

Quite an entertaining show. I'm actually quite satisfied that Shu won. It's either her or Kanade since I somehow knew Aoi would have withdrawn. Glad it's not Akane because she's definitely not king material.

What's sad is there'll be no 2nd season for sure. This family is so cute I wouldn't mind watching more of their day-to-day antics.

8/10

PS: Oh, and not enough Shiori!! She's so precious that she almost topple K-On's Ui as my most wanted anime imouto

This series wasn't anything too special, but it had a lot things I liked and were really well done.

First of all, the overall production value of the whole series was very high. I am thankful for that.

I really liked the character designs and the voice cast were just excellent.

Solid 8/10. I could return to the series some day, so I would see Akane again.
