Review of Taisho Otome Fairy Tale

Now this is some goofy romance right here. I am obsessed with the whole "arraigned partnership but it's okay because we end up falling super hard for each other but more importantly we become better people for it" trope, so when people started recommending this show to me I was in. And overall I do really enjoy this one. The art style is one of my favorite parts. It's so soft and simple and just makes you feel so cozy. And I love watching all these characters I kinda hate at the start grow and change into wonderful people. A part of me sees myselfin Tamahiko; the way they depict disability and mental illness is very realistic. He believes he can't do a lot because everyone around him constantly thinks he can't do anything, so what's the point in continuing living? It's a very raw and powerful thing to show so honestly in an otherwise lighthearted show. But they do it very well in a way that made me want to keep watching. And I commend the creators for it.
The one part that was a little rough was the absolute whip lash in the first couple episodes. The tone shift from "Active unaliving talk" to "Uwu teens in love" happens in like .3 seconds which is a little stark to see. But it mellows out more as the show continues and honestly adds to the comedy so don't worry too much. If you are a bit more sensitive to those kinds of topics just be careful in the beginning.
Overall if you life goofy romance or historical stuff this is a great pick.
