Oushitsu Kyoushi Heine

So, the series is finished now and I am still quite said about that. I genuinely enjoyed the series and I think it's one of the better anime this year. It's not boring at all, it managed to entertain me in every episode. The story isn't very complicated. It sticks with the same idea until the end. No unnecessary side-stories, so If you like the idea itself, you definitely should don't have to worry about wasted potential. Characters have very diffrent personalities, althrough they may seem a bit exaggerated, but I didn't found any of them annoying or tiring and felt their emotions. The graphics itself is veryadorable, however you may be tired of many chibi artwork. But scenery is made really well. The music is very average, so don't expect excellent soundtrack of this one. Summarizing, this anime is truly something, what should gain more attention. If you are like me and prefer to watch anime that are enjoyable with not much action into it, you should take a closer look at this anime. It's funny and adorable, so I strongly reccomend it to you.

This was a good anime I feel, it follows a tutor that is to teach four princes in what they need to know to become a king, but can he have them grow and improve themselves? That is the question this anime asks, and I enjoyed it, we spend a few episodes learning about each prince, finding out who they are, and what their motivations are, each of them has their own problems and I enjoyed the discovery of this. The story over all was good, a few cracks, but I felt every moment of it, right feelings at the right time, it had good pacing witha nice wrap up that could be the end of the series, or setup a second season. Art was fine, I like the facial expressions and how they really helped to let you feel who everyone is. The characters is a strong selling point, each prince, the tutor and other chars have their own personalities and motivations. They seem shallow at first, but over the course of the series you grow to understand them more. I did find this rather enjoyable and over all good series, I would recomend this highly if your looking for something of this kind, no real action, just characters growing up.

A halfway-interesting variation on the subgenre of CGDCT that has been popularized by Umaru and KareKano, wherein the characters spend a lot of time in a Super Deformed state. As far as the chibi goes, it's played well for the first few episodes before it becomes totally stale. The art is probably the series' greatest strength, save for when they spam the SD style (to be fair, it is funny sometimes). The intro and outro are godawful for my Western sensibilities. The seiyuu for the tutor—Heine Wittgenstein—is often the sole redeemer of the sound. The four princes are tropes you've seen a million times; it becomesmore apparent once the show begins to focus on one prince per episode. If the show wants to be deep, it's very lazy about it—one of the episodes features characters named Dmitri and Smerdyakov, but it was clear that none of the creators had read "The Brothers Karamazov" and just wanted points for the reference. Similarly, when Wittgenstein first took out his riding crop, I thought they were going to make a joke about how Wittgenstein (in real-life) used to physically abuse children who gave wrong answers. [The irony is that he, unlike any of the show's characters, would make for a good anime.] There's nothing new or enlightening about this series, but it's not a bad watch by any means.

Oushitsu Kyoushi Heine borders somewhere between being good and just alright. It's a lighthearted character driven slice of life story, focused on self-improvement so each of the princes can become worthy candidates to the throne. The characters themselves are unfortunately fairly simple, but still have enough depth and charm so that I wouldn't describe them as being one-dimensional. All of the princes have easily memorable personalities and flaws due to this simplicity, so given the show is only 12 episodes long, being simple may be a necessary evil. The dialogue was kind of bland, I'm not sure what is was about it but it feltlike what a character in a book would talk like rather than a real person. All of the plotlines themselves are also very straightforward and mostly predictable, but despite this it was all really wholesome, and didn't bother me all too much. To my surprise there's actually an underlying plot behind all of this, which was fairly enjoyable, although I would've preferred if there was a larger emphasis on world building as there seemed to be some potential. The show's humor was decent; I don't think it tried too hard to be hilarious, just enough to keep you entertained. A lot of the verbal jokes were on a similar caliber to "look the tutor is short" and "that ostrich thinks you look like a girl," but I did actually enjoy a lot of the visual humor like when Heine turns into a pouty chibi. On the technical side of things, if anyone actually cares: The animation is good, although not impressive. The art is nice, but the artstyle is fairly generic. There were maybe 2 or 3 character designs that made a good impression on me. The music is fitting, but also fairly unnoticeable, and doesn't stand out as anything special. Overall I say while it isn't a standout show in any regard, it's quite wholesome, and more or less enjoyable the entire way through (maybe with some minor cringe at parts). I don't recommend going out of your way to watch it, but if you think you'd enjoy a wholesome slice of life I wouldn't recommend against it either. 6.5/10
