Review of Taisho Otome Fairy Tale

I watched this anime because my sister decided to pick this one. It's a very cutesy anime and I usually wouldn't watch this kind of romantically cute anime if I am watching on my own. This is one of those anime where you don't need to stress your brain out. You had a tiring day at work or school? How about a feel good anime with sweet love and fluffiness? This anime is, as Spongebob once said: "It's good for your soul." Story is a 7/10. Nothing too stressful. You have Tamahiko, a self-loathing and pessimistic individual who can't see the point in living and plannedto live without bothering anyone but in came a storm of Spring that is Yuzuki, who changes his life for the better. She's the driving force for Tamahiko to actually start living for real. It's a heartwarming story as you Tamahiko warm up to her and start connecting with others. This is a feel good anime, story-wise, there isn't anything complicated.

Art is a 7/10. Considering its plot, the art is nothing too difficult to take in. It's a feel good and cute story so the art will be cute too. Nothing much to say here because I'm not expecting topnotch visuals like you'd expect in UFOtable. It's simple and fit the theme, the art.

Sound: 8/10. Watching this anime from ep 1-12, you will pick up certain osts for sure. It really does make itself recognizable in the good way. One of the OST is literally called Tamahiko and Yuzuki. That is so cute and one of the most memorable OST. I rated the sound a lot higher here because this character, Kotori-chan, is a very talented singer and hearing her sing her insert songs really feel good. Hearing Kotori-chan sing is like floating on top of a cloud. That's how feel good it is. You can hear the full version of Kotori-chan's songs on Youtube. The sound really does reflect the past of Japan.

Character: 7/10. Each character is unique in terms of their design and their motivations. I think the characters are all drawn and voiced perfectly to match the personality that they're given.

Enjoyment: 9/10. This is a feel good anime. We're not expecting anything too major here that'd wreck the brain like a psychological anime that runs on deepness. You're supposed to feel that 'Fuwa fuwa' feeling after each episode. I think this anime would make a good chicken soup for the soul.

Overall Score: I think fair to give Taishou Otome a 8/10. It did its job to make the viewers feel good at the end of 20 something minutes. It managed to give everyone warmth to the heart. The characters really do grow on you and I wished this was a 24 episode instead of a 12. What a shame.

Issues?: Yuzu does say "Tamahiko-sama" very often but that is to be expected as it's rude back then to address someone by a "You" to their face. This anime is based in the Taishou era of Japan; if you go on Twitter asking about people's opinions on this anime you'd come across some morons who will be like "Tamahiko is 17 and Yuzu is 13!" This anime isn't for you if you're the type to bring modern day standards onto an anime based in the Taishou era. Please be stupid somewhere else.
