A mixed one.
There are all those things other reviewers praised: humor, plot, characters. All good and sometimes great, but...
Should have made the king at least 2 years older.
Age difference is not a problem, and monarch dynasties IRL had similar arranged marriages with an age gap. Problem is it's a shotacon, pedo territory. Easily avoided, so made deliberately for the sneaky hype on the forbidden fruit theme.
That white horse at the ending was so over the top. Nike from EP1 would have laughed abut it. Looks like love took at least 50 IQ points from her.

Great series. Humor, romance, story development, not to mention the occasional great song during the series.
Additionally, the characters grow during the series, and you get to see many different facets of them. If you're looking for something that may have slipped past your radar, this is a great series. Nothing feels wasted.

This is listed as similar to Snow White with the Red Hair. Unfortunately, the similarties are mostly superficial and The World Is Still Beautifull is far too reliant on tropes to compare them quality-wise.
That is not to say it's not a good show. Despite a lot of generic elements, it can be incredibly touching at times, as well as surprisingly funny. It was a lot more light-hearted than I expected in general. On the other hand, it can also be annoying - particularly when stupid misunderstandings cause artifical drama, a common writing crutch in romance - but thankfully, such moments are rare.
In the end, the good outweighs the mediocre, so it's hard not to recommend. Almost a must watch for romance fans.

A pretty decent love story that shows us once again that love knows no bounds. The main characters were entertaining and lovable, the plot was decent, and the music was amazing. The only diminishing factor, was the pacing. It just felt like it went on a rush to the finish line and some important moments that deserved more time just seemed to speed over into the next set of developments. Severely underrated, and worthy of a watch!

This is for romance fans such as me. Right up my alley. As usual, I'm terribly disappointed with the number of episodes...why no 20-and-something?? In my eyes it would've been perfect if it was only longer...anyway, when I think about the story, Livius is younger and shorter than Nike, but through his maturity we were being taught that such trivial factors present no obstacle to real love and emotions that grow in people. What I loved in this anime the most was therefore their relationship and reactions, but if it was me, I'd have used less comedy to make it perfect. It ruins the moment sometimes.

This is a solid romance series that contains likable main and side characters. Not only does this have good romance, but there is comedy and very good music to go along with some twists throughout this show. This was a pleasant watch start to finish. Check this out.

I enjoyed this anime very much. The romance was heart warming and touching. I loved the main characters, and it also has a good story with drama and fantasy. It needs a 2nd season though, because the anime is too short.
Must see for fantasy&romance fans!

The premise had so much potential, but it all is thrown away... There really are ero-animes with a similar premise that do more with it. So, a genius child king conquers the world and demands one of his new tributary states to send him a bride. Thus, Nike is sent to marry Livius. Predictably, Livius is disappointed in his bride-to-be but manages to win him over after learning to understand his future husband.
Why the world conquest is even a thing I don't know, it isn't ever explored and doesn't influence anything. Furthermore, Livius doesn't seem like a guy who would be able to pull off a Genghis Khan. But, if you do need to know why Livius decided to conquer the world, it's because he has mommy issues, how world conquest relates to the death of his mother? Will it resurrect her? Was it her dying wish? Double nope, it was to relieve stress.
Art and sound are as standard as it gets.
The story is weak and dialogue is often plain bad.
Characters are uninteresting and two-dimensional.
I got little enjoyment from this, being bored most of the time. I'm not sure why I forced myself to finish this series.
Let's talk about some tags:
Adventure: I wouldn't use that word to describe this anime.
Comedy: Nike is imprisoned for insulting a monarch in open court and complains it about as if it was an overreaction. Tee hee! How wacky!
Romance: is very cringy.
Court politics: I didn't know that one could make court politics so dull. There is an assassination attempt, and a scheme to disqualify Nike from her position as the consort, but it's all handled poorly.
