I will update this when the season is over with an overall review. I’ve been writing reviews like every day lately so I’m keeping this one short, sorry. So far, the first five episodes have been enjoyable and I look forward to the rest of the season. Either way, it does develop into its own story (unless I’m really clueless). I never cared for Disney as a kid, so although I recognized some similarities to other fairy tales and movies in the first episode or two, I can’t say for sure which ones or that there isn’t a whole lot more. The beginning of the story is like a redone version of Snow White, at least what I know about Snow White. The two main characters are appealing, relatable, and charming and the supporting characters come in a nice variety.
By the fourth episode, you have a decent understanding of the main characters. The characters begin developing early on which is nice. Even though it doesn’t seem like it would have any good action scenes, the sword fights are pretty good.
The first episode certainly feels like it’s referencing several different movies, but it becomes its own story as it continues. I mean the name itself is referencing a fairy tale but still. So if you can put on a hold your adult cynicism and combine this with a liking for romantic fairy tales, I think it's an anime you might enjoy.įirst impression, oh crap this is a Japanese anime version of Disney…. But after a while, despite myself, I found myself caring for the characters. I won't deny I found it annoying at the beginning and was tempted to drop it. No interesting topics, no moral dilemmas, nothing unusual or thought-provoking. Everything is as it should be, totally by the book. The characters are exactly what you would expect them to be, sweet and brave and honest and very caring about each other and true to themselves. The plot is a conventional fairy tale whereby girl meets prince who saves her from bad guy and - after some minor mishaps - they fall in love.

It's so full of naive good intentions and genuinely positive feelings that it's kind of disarming in the end. I guess because I just finished watching it and I've got a smile on my face. Akagami no Shirayukihime isn't original in the least everything is highly predictable, from the plot to the characters' reactions.
