It is really true that Shoujo Anime as a genre has been slowly lacking and becoming more and more obscure. Bibliophile Princess is one of the few shows for this year under this genre. So I was hoping this show should do good.
Premise is quite cliche and just your standard Royalty/Monarchy settings & it does not try to pretend to deviate away from it. It does not over do things to make it bland and does a good job to keep you hooked at least for the first 4 episodes.
The characters are well-written but some are pretty predictable at best. The first 2 episodes introduced a female antagonist that we can say is your standard Shoujo Anime antagonist. How strong is that second episode? Well it felt like it should have been the season ending.
This may be your usual prince and princess romance but the amount of romantic scenes and banters from both Elianna & Chris will make the female audience fan-girl in romantic excitement like what a good Shoujo Anime should be. So if you enjoy shows that will make you feel terrible being single - you should at least give this a try. If you are a fan of this genre, you should give the show a chance.
