So
it's been a while, a while since I watched anything that was just filled with
cuteness and had an opening that made you want to cuddle something... But did I
enjoy it as much as all of my gruesome animes?

It
has been a long time since I watched something like a feel good, happy and
extremely cute kind of anime; and luckily I stumbled across one on Viewster. I
wasn't going to watch it at first, after my bad luck with finding Prison school
and wanting to be sick, I didn't read the description again and just went off
the cover for the anime on Viewster. It looked cute to me and I fancied a quick
change after watching some pretty weird stuff the past few years, I am going to
be reviewing some more cute stuff soon but I'll have to also fit that around
everything else that's currently going on in my life... New job sixth form,
extra coursework and qualifications that I'm picking up, I'll find the time
soon.
This
strangely adorable anime revolved around the lives of the royal family, most of
all, the children's lives. The royal family tried their hardest to live like
every other person, they live in the city and not the castle and the children
attend a public school along with everyone else. So they have pretty normal
lives to say that they're royalty. But wait? There's always something that gets
In the way of their lives being normal... They have powers?!
Yeah, to prove that they are part of the royal family, they all have specific powers that are completely different from their other siblings. So when I started watching this I thought it was going to be normal-ish, I mean they are royal and live like normal people which is weird within itself but the power thing ended up confusing me a bit, it wasn't necessary really.

The
series is from the viewpoint of the fourth daughter out of the nine siblings,
her name is Akane and she really hates cameras. The city is covered in them
after an incident that occurred when Akane was a child, like I usually do, I
won't say what it is otherwise I'll just spoil episode 11 for you all. Akane is
he one to introduce us to everyone and we see things from her point of view,
but in-between the episodes we switch over to some of the other children as
well to see what Royal life is like for them; I think everyone in it bloody
adorable.
Storyline, now it's a bit weird; sometimes it' back to the story line and then at other times it's kind of like cute filler kind of things that you give you more of an insight to the characters, and seeing as there's only 12 episodes altogether, it makes sense. The royal family basically needs a new king, and the siblings have to compete against each other for popularity points which are updated every week and usually the person with the most popularity points will end up getting the most votes when it comes to choosing the next king.
It's a nice way to look at it really, 9 children all competing to become the king must be bloody stressful! But they all go along with this small competition to become the next king and they all really enjoy it in the end, not like me who would probably kill my sisters to become king... sorry! Akane has her own reasons for becoming King, obviously, but they aren't too brilliant really; she wants to become the next king so she can remove all of the cameras in town and roam freely as she pleases, but it's quite strange and it would back fire... Becoming king would mean that all eyes would always be on you, right? Well she doesn't quite understand that you see, but she tries her best anyway to try and avoid the cameras at all times.

The
children are as follows...
Aoi: She's the eldest of the 9 and has a power that she claims to be called "invisible Work" however, she has another deeper power that she can't yet control, you'll find out what it is about half way through the anime. She's quite, has long blue hair and also helps Akane with her speeches towards the voting season.

Shu
and Kanade: They are the first set of twins out of the 9 and
are both the second eldest out of the 9 siblings. Shu's power is teleportation,
anything he touches will be teleported with him; and yes ladies, he has a
girlfriend in this so there's no point in beginning to fan girl now. He's got
dark hair, he's tall and has a very, very laid back personality towards
everything. Kanade however, she's strict, serious about everything, has her
goals set from the start and knows exactly what she's doing. Her power is Heaven’s
Gate, this allows her to materialize random objects, as amazing as it sounds, and
there is a down side to this... Everything she materializes will then be
deducted from her bank account, so if she makes a car appear then the amount
that the car would usually cost would then be taken from her bank account. Too
say their twins, they are quite the opposites.
Akane:
She's our main character and all of the guys at her school are completely in
love with her and her shyness! She's got long red hair, always wears short
skirts (with the occasional panty flash) and is completely innocent in
everything does... Also doesn't think things through that much really. Her
power is Gravity Core, this allows her to change the gravity of herself and
objects that she touches, too avoid cameras; she'll usually fly to school or
hide behind her sisters.
There's
another set of twins, Haruka and Misaki (one has purple hair and one has pink,
amazing)! Hikari is the little blonde one who can manipulate the growth of
objects; like making things grow quicker (plants and stuff) or increasing and
decreasing her own age, which is quite strange to see really. Teru, he's loud
and basically seriously strong as his power let's him obtain great strength
from out of nowhere. Shiori is the youngest, and has an extremely weird power;
it allows her to talk to people and inanimate objects.
The
only problem I have...
And yes, even though I seriously enjoyed the anime and it was cute as hell, I'm obviously going to be picky with the fan service. There wasn't that much of it, to be honest, like hardly any; it was just that it wasn't needed at all. Now I understand crushes, and relationships and there also being a fan club for Akane but the panty flashing and her always losing her skirt wasn't needed.... It was quite funny in places, and slightly different since the show is all cute and polka dots and happy music, but I would like to think of it as innocent stuff. For instance, her skirt gets caught in a bush and rips, so she puts shorts on instead but it still looks like there's nothing there and then it turns out that there is nothing there; I would see that as innocent fan service really, not purposely there for the views or too draw in a male audience.

The
show overall is amazingly cute, well I think it is anyway; polka dots, pastel
colours, adorable characters who you just want to hug, the happy music, bright
colours and most of all the overall feel of it when you start watching the
show... It always starts off on a positive rather than a negative that's
supposed to make you want to watch it.
I haven't watched something like this in a very, very long time, anything cute is off limits really, but this actually made me feel quite happy whilst I was watching it and I also ended up singing along to the theme song whenever it came on. It does feel like one of those feel good happy animes that you can watch whilst doing coursework like I did.
it really is just one of those things that you can multi-task with, it hasn't got huge plot twists that you have to look out for, it's really straight forward and easy to follow so if you need a quick loo break and don't pause it... You're hardly going to miss three tsunamis, 2 murders and 1 sex scene, you'll probably miss the Shiori talking to Watermelon or saying sorry to a chair for talking to it!

Expect a lot more cute things coming up eventually, because after this quick series I really want to watch something that's happy, bright and colorful enough for me to do whilst I multi-task.
They're easy to watch, and will be easy for me to do in bulk as well; also, they make me feel sooo happy after watching them!
