Castle Town Dandelion

~Joukamachi no Dandelion~ - Story - 6 - [Supernatural is not for Action it's quite Unique] It's a two story in one episode, but it was executed well. The story is very Simple, but the Lessons you can get are the Hidden Message of this Anime. It's very good, the execution is well done and the plot is not all over the place. The story is very predictable, but the characters aren't, they've changed a lot. In terms of Adaptation over Originality, the Anime is way better, and the pacing is good. It's an anime that focuses on Character Development and Supernatural Slice of Life, but the Hidden element of thisstory is the best, Being a Fun Royalty. So far they've used Flashbacks, First-person Narration and Magical realism as their literary techniques. The Ending was Epic, It was one of the Best! The last episode have shown Principles and Dignity, and the best Conclusion to close the Anime, Overall it's the Best Slice of Life you can get this Year. I love Anime that can bring up their Specific genre, and to make an Unexpected Events, and this one was able to Check that Box, The box of Unpredictable Events, Anime with Sense, Nice comedy and not exaggerated, One of the Best Light Series This Year. If this is a dark anime, this is Par on Fate/Zero, which the Dark Version of this one. - Art - 7 - [expressions sometimes leads into incest feeling if you're watching] The art is clean, it meets the expected standard of an anime. The art was able to express the fitting mood, especially the characters expression. And it fits in the Story. They didn't mixed any CGI or Live Action Clip, mostly 2d with few 3d art styles. The animation is really smooth, especially when the characters Power Up The art style is very clean from the start, and the Background and the fits the anime, especially for the beautiful scenes. The Character Design is the Best Art in this Anime, they fit so much that it will make you smile when you see them. The Character Design is unique, and none of them are repetitive, or based on other works, they've even showed the genealogy of each character, which makes me smile. - Sound - 6 - [it lacks in many moments, but was able to enter important scenes] The Characters have the Best Voice Actors/Actresses, they fit so much that it will make you happy. The seiyuus doesn't need to adapt, and they were able to play them perfectly And I think, the seiyuus enjoyed this short anime. I wanna see them playing their role outside the anime studio or during it's record. The background music always fits the mood, it always catch my attention But I wasn't able to found any uploaded OSTs which I plan to use if I will read slice of life manga, The opening and the ending song are really Light, they promote Happiness. Though it's not catchy for me, because I love Dark and Metal Songs. - Character - 8 - [the greatest piece in this anime which is absent in many animes] The characters here are the best, They have their own personality with Strength and Weaknesses, and most of the time, they will make you smile. The characters always react in realistic way in normal circumstance, but as I said, it's a supernatural anime, but they've used their power in the realistic way. The characters are relatable, they have shown their strength, but not their powers, but on how they use them. And they've shown their weaknesses when they are in trouble in life. Lastly, they've always helped each other And the Best in this Anime, is the Character Development. They've developed so much more than what I expected. They've conquered their own weaknesses and was able to changed for better. And they were able to show their Dependable side to people. The main characters always stands out, but the background people was able to bring the best role for their scene like: Surprised Reaction Though I didn't see any antagonist in this anime, the siblings fight for Royal Candidacy, but they fight Fair and Just. But there's no Psychological and Action in this anime, just plain Supernatural Slice of Life. The Supporting Characters can par against the Main Characters in terms of Role Playing. They were able to produce the best fitting Supporting Characters needed for some occasions or scenes for each Main Character in this anime. They've have used First Person Narration: the Main Characters are ones who narrates the story. The Characters are very Likable, you will love them because of their Values, each of them have developed in the story, better than I expected. I will remember the characters in the story, but not as an individual, but as a Happy Family with Values to Learn [Super Royal Family] - Enjoyment - 9 - [one of the best relaxing animes] The people who loves Comedy, Seinen (Philosophical), Slice of Life, Super Power will love this. I think this one fits for Teen Newbies, or non anime fan. This is really good if you want to watch some scenes, or to re-watched the whole anime. And I think it is still enjoyable to re-watched this anime even it is predictable. This is an Anime that should be stored/remembered as a Relaxing/Happy/Light Anime. The Values(Philosophies) of this anime is the bests that marked my mind/heart. But I think I might forget this anime, but not the character's principles and the Family. I've just watched this to kill time and stored this for comedy relief if I will read/watch Dark and Intense Manga/Anime. - Overall - 8 - Fair and Fine [this is par on many great animes, just go to my profile] How it was DONE. IT did the Best Thing it can Do. this is already a Good Score in my Rating Style. It was able to bring out its Potential in this Manga. Art meets the mood, sometimes it can create a misunderstanding like "Twincest" which is not really true, and the sound was able to enter its scene especially in the Romantic Scene of Shuu. the story is nothing special but it's relaxing, but the Character Development is something that should be present in Many Animes and Mangas. It has Philosophical Values and was able to simplify it for general audiences. - Worth - 5 - Philosophical Hierarchy [doesn't abused their authority and always gets along with the commoners] [simple creative] This anime is worth for its Philosophical Aspects that are not present in many animes. It was Able to turn almost all characters in 180 degrees. It's an example of Characters>Story/Art/Sound, so I really Enjoyed this Show. This is a Recommendable Anime. just go to my account if you're Curious about my Rating Style.

Joukamachi no Dandelion has a mediocre, generic story with nothing special like a bowl of ramen without any seasonings. Even so, the show itself was so much fun to watch I was surprised that it only lasted for about a few hours. Joukamachi no Dandelion is the kind of show where you simply unwind - sit down, grab your snacks, drinks and enjoy the show to the fullest. It doesn't overstimulate you like what most drama shows would do, forcing you to become anxious and depressed, or like what a psychological show would do. Causing your brain to malfunction and eventually crash so you haveto spend some time staring blankly at the screen and contemplate about what the fuck just happened. If you're looking for a show where you could simply enjoy then you might want to check Joukamachi no Dandelion out. It's quite fun to watch, honestly.

An anime that has a really deep family relationship. Honestly , i never seen anime like this before. A story about 9 king's daughter/son and there was something special about them all. They all have a some mysterious power inclueding the king too. Well , from the story, this is comedy and drama type of anime so obviously there is no big twist. I like the plot. All the king's child was trying very hard to be a king. they all have their own objective to be a king even the younger one too. and from them all , there was one girl that didn't wantto be a king because it's to embarrassing just for people to see her. The story was simple but it was funny, and it's not about her too. the story is telling us about the others relationship too, Well there was a little bit romance too , though. Overall from the story , it was normal for me but the comedy really funny , So 7/10. The art , the animation was standard for me. nothing special about the animation but it's a different matter for the character design. I really like the character design especially Kanade. There were a little bit of action , but not too hardcore so it was a little bit disappointing for me. They only show the hardcore one at the final episode and it was only for a while too. 8/10 The sound really fit perceft to the show. the OP and The ED really good , there were nothing wrong about the Soundtrack too , So Overall 7/10 Now finally the character. I really like the character especially Akane , Aoi and Kanade. Akane was a shy person. for some issue when she was still a kid, she can't stand for people seeing her again even she can't stand being seen by security camera. because of that she must got to school without getting cought by the security camera. If there's people walk pass by her, she will always hiding behind her sister and i found that very cute. If she's not with her sister, she will never go out from house. but aferwards she was trying very hard to overcome her weakness. The first and the eldest child , Aoi , was very calm and cool , and kind too. She is too kind. For some mysterious reason , she got another new ability. That ability can make people do whatever she say. But even still , she will never use it to her friend , family or other people. I like her for doing that. Her kindness really warm. 7/10 Kanade, The third child or the second oldest daughter. i don't know people have the same thought as me or not, from my opinion , Kanade really likes teasing people, But the truth she was very kind person inside. She always cares for her brother and sister and always treasure it. This type of character was what i most like. So if i choose from Akane , Aoi and Kanade, I choose Kanade. For the rest of the character, The rest 6 sakurada child have their own personality and it was a unique ones. they all get a chance to tell their own story in the episode and i like that. 9/10 So well , overall i really enjoy the episode. The comedy always following up to the story. So , yeah... , i like it. 8/10 Overall 9/10 I really recommend this anime to you all , if you like slice of life anime. Sorry if my english isn't very good. Hope the review can be helpfull to you all :D

There are some anime you just can't help but feel happy while watching. Joukamachi no Dandelion, or Castle Town Dandelion, is one of those anime. Firstly I would like to share my one and only real complaint. The description of this anime made me believe that a big part of the story would focus solely around Akane, and while it does to an extent I personally just felt it wasn't enough to justify her specific character being used in the anime's description. Now, I will write a review based on each of the six categories in the rating system: story, art,sound, character, enjoyment, and overall. 1) Story The basic background of the story really isn't all that new. There have been stories over "the battle for the throne" for forever, however Joukamachi no Dandelion revisits this idea with a fresh twist. The concept of having a democratic election in a monarchy is utterly unique and was really the biggest draw for me. And even though the anime mainly revolves around the campaign, the story itself is still more an inside look at a family who just happen to be royalty and a year in their lives leading up to an all-important election to decide who will be the next king. 2) Art I love the art all-around. The style is nice and clean, the animated effects were done very well, and the background was vibrant but not distracting. Absolutely perfect. 3) Sound Typical sounds such as special effects, voice acting, ect. were very good, but that's not what I want to focus on! I'm the type who will typically watch the OP and ED of an anime once or twice so that I know it, but then I want to just skip it and get to the actual anime. Joukamachi no Dandelion is an exception. I absolutely had to listen to them, there were no if's, and's, or but's about it! Even while writing this review, Ring Ring Rainbow!! is still playing in the back of my mind~! 4) Characters I adored the cast of characters in Joukamachi no Dandelion. Since the siblings were the focal point for the series, of course, we saw a lot of them. However, how do you properly showcase nine characters in a 12-episode-long anime? Not only that but how do you manage to give them any depth of character? Well, I have no idea how they did it, but the makers of Joukamachi no Dandelion managed it. I personally would have liked to see more of the two youngest siblings, but thinking about it logically I know it would have been a time waster to put more airtime on two characters that were obviously not seriously in the running for the crown. Now in saying that, I believe that they both do get sufficient time to showcase their personalities and play their own role in the big picture. Speaking of personalities, there are a lot! Each sibling has their own story and character to round out, and somehow in 12 episodes we get to see it all. Not only do we get to personally know the siblings and get a sneak-peek into their private lives, but the makers of Joukamachi no Dandelion somehow also found a way to add in some insight into the parents as well! To finish off I'm going to bundle Enjoyment and Overall together since in my mind they're kind of one in the same. There wasn't a dull moment in this entire anime. I loved every second of it. I was able to get so immersed in the story and get to know the cast of characters so well. This could have easily been drawn out into a more lengthy series, but it wasn't. And it's one of the rare times where I feel like the length of the anime was just right. I leave feeling happy and fulfilled. And I hope that anyone who chooses to watch Joukamachi no Dandelion leaves feeling the same.
