One thing I liked about Walkure Romanze is that it’s set in a calm environment – the hills, the forest, all that stuff you’d see that feels like you’re in some part of Europe that is yet to be shown on television.
Speaking of the cast, it has your typical harem, where the students – including the class president – gets around you, mingles with you, and gets inspired because of you. That’s the common harem you’d see.
Here’s the mix: We have your typical dojikko, your typical traditional Japanese girl, your typical weeaboo, your typical female, your typical loli, and your typical man among man because he has a harem with him. That’s the cast of Walkure Romanze in a nutshell. Also, the female characters are your typical friendly types. But of all of the cast in this series, oddly enough, I liked the non-character, a cat by the name of Sasami.
Each episode has a different story that can be regarded as Slice-of-Life, wherein it focuses on the male protagonist’s daily life, as well as the personal conflicts he had. At the final set of episodes, we see that he faced his trials and he takes a second chance at redoing his past.
On the technical side, since I’m a guy that does not mind CG graphics most of the time, I can see it as ‘just fine’. It does not destroy the quality of animation, and I’m okay with that. The soundtrack is okay, and plot execution is well-done. It has less fanservice than I expected, considering that this origniated as an adult novel in the first place.
Overall, I recommend Walkure Romanze to those who like to delve in that old sport we call joust. I can’t recommend this yet to old-time jousters who take the tradition seriously, but who knows if they will like this? If you like harem anime, you can have this.
