Review of My Happy Marriage

"My Happy Marriage" is a prime example of an anime with stunning art but a lackluster narrative. I wish I could find reasons to recommend it, but unfortunately, I cannot. The characters are extremely flat: we have the self-conscious Miyo, the cold-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside Kiyoka, the selfish and arrogant Kaya, and so on. They fail to develop throughout the series, and even in the final scene, where the main characters are supposed to reach a climactic transformation, they merely continue playing their assigned roles. I was hoping for a strong romantic element, but it fell flat. It’s not a slow burn; it’s more of a slowfade, as there was no spark to ignite any real passion.

However, the grotesqueries—the eerie creatures—offered me that missed "spark". The artists captured their malevolence and deadly aura beautifully. The overall animation is visually pleasing and a highlight of the series.

In summary, if you’re looking for aesthetics, this might be worth your time. Otherwise, I wouldn’t recommend it.
