But the title was as deceptive as the ending was predictably boring. While i had reservations regarding every episode as intensively childish, i had more such on the ending alone. I am still trying to wrap my mind around the conveniently ridiculous idea of how a princess of a small country goes off to japan with just a secretary and no guards? Her family like every other family in anime turned a blind eye to it because you either die or live to be invisible NPCs and are considered lucky to get a special mention. She randomly enrolled in a school which as per rules shall not verify the background of transfer students and gave the sole right of finding the secret to the hero/love interest. Being someone who watches anime, i have a watched a reasonable number of animus and it is baffled me when i see theresa knew only of "rainbow shogun" and for what it was worth, was insanely cheesy.
Unfortunately there was no chemistry between Theresa and tada whatsoever. How could there be? Tada the quiet photograpy nerd was was too busy dwelling in his sad backstory to actually notice a girl much less fall in love. He was notoriously in need of the female interest to bring light to his soul.
This anime had some really funny romance in it. It went like this: Alec likes Charles , Charles likes Theresa,Theresa likes tada and apparently tada likes Theresa too. If you thought franxx was corny wait until you watch tada kun.
I felt really sorry for Alec and Charles though. Even if he did let Theresa go there was no way he would pick Alec and sadly it should have been Alec and tada who were heart broken. Thanks to shoujo anime rule no 1- even if the MCs have no feelings for each other they will be forced to come together.
When tada 'realized' his love for Theresa- whatever triggered it and went to the tiny nation, i was inwardly worried for the fate of this anime. i knew how it will go down.
Anime logic is irrefutable as it glamours over the fact that tada and Theresa had been acquainted for not more than 2 seasons.
Too bad Charles buckled. tada might have fought his fear and flown to Theresa. He might have battled against water current to retrieve the invite. He might have even mustered the courage to confess to an engaged princess. It still was not fair to Charles who had to give her up because the plot made him to do so.
The plot was nothing far from ordinary with some outdoorsy activity and majority of which was cat chasing and photography. This anime had a cliched character line up. It was a cocktail of a brooding hero, a perverted and clueless senpai, one i look dowdy on outside but am foxy on the inside secret idol girl, a cute self obsessed best friend and a cat. Now the cat seemed to have hit it big. Add to this one cheerful but plain foreigner, a red head and a hot tall handsome guy. And the drink you get is "tada kun can fall in love"
What needed an explanation was why the hell does tada speak in Japanese to the castle guards? Even ijjuin uses english broken or otherwise.
