Shokei shoujo was the show I looked most forward to every week, I fell in love with these characters and this world and generally had an awesome time watching.
The show also has what is without a doubt for me, the OP of the season. Everything is so bright and I love that in an anime. Pacing is solid, animation is solid, voice acting is great and I have a particular love for the colour palette as well as eyes in this series. So many directions that this story can go in and as someone who just started reading the books, I can’t wait to find out. The characters are all unique and bring their own personalities to enhance the story, the world is very much alive and the lore of the universe is really well written. The whole concept of Menou having to find a way to kill Akari while clearly gradually developing feelings for her is something I haven’t seen before. Story wise, Shokei Shoujo is peak isekai. I really don’t know how this would have been a negative unless you A) didn’t read the synopsis of the show going into it or B) Wanted the same generic tropes that you complain about every season.įor me, I will always prefer a female protagonist especially in fantasy stories as they tend to be better written, actually capable of holding their own on their own merits and generally apart of better stories as there’s not a reliance on fan service or high school level jokes to enhance their character. Instead, you get two strong, independent female protags along with a really interesting world, cool magic concepts and some legit scary bad guys. No overpowered MC, no harem, none of the usual cliches that cause people to write isekai off as all the same. Shokei shoujo, is actually one of the most unique isekai we’ve seen in recent memory. We finally get a show that breaks that mold and unfortunately still went under the radar because of not having an OP self insert male character and having a yuri ship. Every season fans complain about getting the same generic isekai tropes over and over again.
