The weakest part of the series is, without a doubt, the plot. It feels dull and overused at times, but the rest is just so neatly done that I can forgive it.
Shirayuki is a great main character and the cast is a really colorful one, but Zen fails in being a 'charming prince' at times (I like that he is cute and respectful but he often come as plain).
A great execution on your ordinary fantasy, and a great shoujo overall.

Solid 8/10.

(I want more Ryu btw)

Finally Shirayuki became a princess, although not a real one

This episode is sweet and relaxing. I like this kind of romance.

Hope Shirayuki's hair would grow long once more like it was before

Looking forward for the sequel

Great ending to a great series. Good adaption overall imo. Personally I scored the series at a 9. The only reason it isn't one point higher is because I felt that the art lost a bit of its charm in the transition from drawn/written medium, to animated.

I await patiently for the second season in January.
Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.

Yeah. I said it.

he finale was great and I loved the first cour and all but....

This may sound weird and even though I like Shirayuki and Zen together, this episode made me realize that I kinda hope that Zen dies or something so that she can end up with Obi lol

I feel like they're a much a better fit but oh well, 7/10 for me

That was the perfect ending.
I ship Zen and Shirayuki so much, I'm so happy they are together. They are so adorable, their moments always put a big smile on my face.
I loved the anime. Characters are great, the development of Zen and Shirayuki's relationship was perfectly paced, graphics and music were nice too.
Cool that we don't have to wait too long for the second season.
Overall 9/10 for the anime.
I like pancakes.

>acting like the troupe leader was some diabolical villain just because he wanted to show off Shirayuki's hair

A pleasant finale to a pleasant series. It ultimately failed by trying to be too many things at once and never letting any of its various elements truly evolve, but it somewhat made up for this tremendous problem by just being a genuine and honest story. The setting added a lot to the series, and the characters were very likeable. All in all, kind of looking forward to S2. Sort of.

Ohh man, if this episode is anything to go by then I'm looking forward to another season of Zen and Shirayuki's dynamics. This was a wonderful way to wrap it up for now, with festivities and the continued enrichment of this cute love story. It's always amusing to see how flustered Zen gets, especially when they told him the actor would kiss Shirayuki's hand and show off her hair. Not on his watch! All of that is for Zen's eyes only. I'm not sure if they're hinting at Obi falling for Shirayuki, I hope not because I really like how he looks out for her the way he is now.

I'm really liking this trend of historical-fantasy shoujo. Soredemo Sekai, Akatsuki no Yona, and now Akagami. All bearing similarities that draw me into each of them yet each one offering its own distinct approach to this set up. As far as Akagami is concerned, I must admit I wasn't expecting the slow pace and semi-episodic character building. It was a pleasant surprise, and most certainly a satisfying one. Once again, Shirayuki and Zen are two characters with fresh perspectives that clashed for some great chemistry. Their back and forths were always enticing and I like how subtly and smoothly their bond grew. It took its time to set up the romance but did it in a way where it flourished wonderfully. Even ignoring the romance, both Shirayuki and Zen are great stand alone characters that really spiced things up - with Zen's down to Earth outlook on his kingdom and Shirayuki's will to not let people like Raj walk all over her.

8/10, a great range of heartwarming, relaxing, and dramatic (especially Zen's past). Oh and I know I'm the epitome of slow but it finally dawned on me that the OP is sung by Shirayuki's seiyuu.

This season is over, I'm glad to have continued this anime. I thought after the first 3 episodes that the story will be always the same, but after that, the development between Shirayuki and Zen made me likes the show. Shirayuki is cute and her behavior is interesting.
The last real romance without comedy that I liked was "Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii", it's good to watch another anime like this.

This episode was beautiful, the landscapes too. Shirayuki starts to show her feelings to Zen and it's a nice thing. I'm confident that the second season will be as good as this one.

This ended up being a great way to end this cour. It's a more light hearted episode, but we still get to see the awkwardness that comes with the territory of entering into a new relationship, especially for people who haven't been in a romantic relationship before. There were a couple of awkward moments for them, but the awkwardness was cute. :)

But Zen is definitely showing a little bit of a jealous streak here. That jealousy did kind of come in handy when he thwarted the director's plan to use Shirayuki and her hair to elevate the attention his troupe receives. But we also see him get a little jealous when he learns about Obi giving Shirayuki the hair accessory.

I also get the impression from the couple of times we saw Izana in this episode that he may not be entirely supportive of Zen when he learns about him and Shirayuki being a couple.

I can't forget to mention Shirayuki dressed up as the princess for the play. She looked so natural in the dress, and she looked beautiful.

But now I'm a little frustrated because I have to wait until January to see more. :(

Err my gerd, they combined both the date chapter AND the open castle day chapter in one :0 Interesting approach. I felt both should've been done after the upcoming T arc but hey they executed it nicely so no complaints. And lol that filler Tangled scene made me laugh so hard. Shirayuki looked really nice in the costume <3 Mitsuhide's love for Zen is pretty strong too lol Obi being the usual troll was adorbs to see too hahaha

All in all "A" adaptation and S2 should be great and filled with more action :DD fingers crossed for two of the bigger arcs in the series animated but i doubt the latter will. Unfortunate that my favorite scene in the manga will probs not be animated:

This anime is very cute-like, Zen and Shirayuki make a good couple, and their moments together are amazing, it just touches your heart, also, I like how Zen wanted to include everyone else in their group in his future, together with his lover, Shirayuki. Very enjoyable anime.

LOVED This anime, loved the characters, loved the art. But the way Shirayuki and Zen were able to start a relationship together, with everyone close to them just agreeing, and Shirayuki appearing to not even give their situations a second thought, even though she appears to be very smart felt underwhelming, and damaged all the characters.. No one seems to pay attention to the fact that Zen is a prince, while Shirayuki is just a common girl, making it felt weird.
I guess I expected more, I never expected them to be able to be together. I expected more of a mature and realistic theme and approach to their relationship. It felt counter to all the build up through the series, which appeared to show they understood their positions and the reality of their situations. Will see how S2 pans out. Will be interesting to see how everyone else reacts to this. assuming they don't keep it secret or something stupid. If everyone just accepts it, I'm dropping S2...

Hate to do this, but giving this a 6/10 for now.

So each gender should be stuck doing their own roles based on roles their assumed to?

I liked it when she kissed his hand; kind of shows her humility and loyalty towards Zen.

And for those "expecting more", there are some exciting scenes in the manga, but it's spread out.

How the hell did I miss this while it was airing ;_; Pretty great romance anime and we get to look forward to a second season this winter :D Shirayuki x Zen was pretty well done imo so I'm looking forward to how their relationship ends up next season.

As for the last episode, I just loved how Zen jumped down on the stage to save Shirayuki from having her hair, thus her identity, revealed. Would've caused a lot of headaches if the rumored fiance was found acting as a princess in a play.

Quite lovely end of this first season, I'm definitely looking forwards to the second season to see how everything will develop!

In general I just loved the setting and atmosphere, especially the character development as that's one of the key element of this anime for sure which was just beautiful!

All in all I had a great time marathoning this anime so for me this is a great anime as well!

As a fan of the manga (10/10), I can say it was a pretty good adaptation. Manga is still better in every aspect, but almost everything was adapted well.
Some chronological changes (this festival was much later for example), but they aren't big ones.
My only two real problems are that I didn't find most of the seiyuu fitting for their roles/characters, and that the art style couldn't always give back the same amazingly beautiful art style of the manga. Esepcially the characters. Shirayuki was the main problem, she looks so much better in the manga. Her face has a much younger and slimmer look :( And her hair should have been a bit darker shade of red, or well, more like an apple, as it should be. This doesn't look as natural :/
Still, the anime gets a 9/10 from me, since it was still great. Would have been a 10/10 (which is rare from me) if these problems were addressed.
I love this series ^^

The floating candle/lanterns reminded me of Tangled though, hah.

Gotta love redheads

Shirayuki was so stunning in that dress... The romance in this anime is so refreshing it restores my soul, at first i was like "OH this gotta be your another happy yet boring romance anime of this season", but dangg i was wrong, i got addicted after i watched the first episode.

I love the atmosphere of this show, it's calming and heartwarming, and you can feel a strong bonds between one character to another, not just for the main characters.

I feel sad for Obi because i can't see him with anyone but Shirayuki, looking forward for a 2nd season i hope Obi would make a move toward Shirayuki, that would be interesting to watch.

Overall score 9/10
