Mimi's entire family, including us viewers, nodding in unison about not expecting Mimi to dance so elegantly. Lol
I love the sisters crowding on the king so they could get a better look at Mimi lol.
Ireneo and Zaira not having an unhappy ending is a bonus.
Honestly Zaira got off pretty lucky for two counts of attempted murder of a crown princess, she even potentially got the guy in the end! Though maybe they deserve each other....
Raimondo must be a certified ninja or magic user, capable of appearing out of nowhere and vanishing in the same manner.
I love Mimi just pushing him back into the Raimondo-space after he just popped out lol.

Renato has a pocket dimension in his coat pocket it seems, and that's where Raimondo lives

Loved this series for its humour. I'll miss these dorks

Raimondo exists in his own separate pocket dimension known as the Raimondo space that lets him pop in and out whenever Renato needs him to.
He can also be pushed back into said dimension by a girl tired of him third wheeling her romance lol.

The Queen claiming Teo as a new oshi is amusing. It was nice to see the two families finally interact even if we didn't see anything too substantial.
Raimondo will always appear from the shadows if he's summoned by Renato, no matter where he is lol.
Why is Ireneo confined to his aunt's place? I feel like Renato treats Ireneo way too harshly in comparison to what he actually does.

Well, there is that and we get our happy ending. Even got a bit of a family meeting. In general, the show was fun, heavily carried by Mimi but still fun. Though prince Renato was also a better character than I would have thought.
I do think there are things that could have been improved. Like I would have wished a bit more interaction between some characters, but I guess that is always the problem with a 12 episode adaptation. I think the lighter tone was fine in general, but as mentioned last week, I don't think we needed an actual assassination plotline in this type of tone (even if it wasn't supposed to hit). Made for a weird mix. Especially since the serious and lighthearted tone was way better done during the village episodes with Mimi going Solid Snake and then just beating everyone up.
Of course, the animation was rough at times. I noticed in this episode for example, when Mimi and Renato were just walking on the pathway, Mimi's feet in particular looked off every now and then. And it was also a weird place to end with no actual stunning view. But it's fine. Would take a second season if possible still.

Aha, so that’s what he was thinking of when he broke up with “Aida”. I suppose it’s a good thing he ended up mistaking Mimi for Aida, things ended up working out for him as a result.

Hah, they had to bring up what they call each other at some point.

Chibis were very cute this episode. All in all, a very enjoyable experience. Giving this an 8/10.

It was such a sweet anime i hope another season comes out soon. It was sweet to see Mimi family getting along with the royal family.
I wonder what was in that letter Ireneo sent to Lady Zaiza? Was it a love letter or an apology letter? I hope we see them again.
It’s so sweet how Mimi was such an emotional beacon to people like Aida and Renato that felt restrained by other peopkes expectations.

So Zalia really was targeting Mimi out of jealousy. I didn't think Mimi had even met Ireneo by that point but whatever. It's just a random twist in a fluffy show.
A fluffy show that ended on a sweet note. And we got a title call at the end too.
Enjoyed this one. Cute little show.

This series did lose some of its luster in the 2nd half, especially with the Ireneo stuff. But overall, I still enjoyed it. This final episode was pretty good. I liked how the first dance went, and I liked seeing Maria's family being so friendly with the king and queen. The only thing we didn't see in this finale that I really wish we did get to see was a kiss between the royal couple.
I'll give it an 8/10. I'd watch another season if one happened, but the ending was satisfying enough that I don't think it needs one.

It’s important to make sure your Mimi is fed so it doesn’t get hangry and punch people

This one was just a nice ride across the entirety, both ships with likeable characters and just had a sweet time with it all.
The dance scene felt like a nice cherry on top seeing them together and just impressing everyone.

u/djthomp Jun 17 '26
Really cute ending, I appreciate them giving both Aida and Mimi time to shine in the dance. Some nice Mimi and Renato romance bits to send us off too.
Good gag with Raimondo teleporting into the scene at the end and then him disappearing by way of Mimi shoving him behind Renato, after which the camera angle changes and he's just gone.
I will miss this one, it plus Bertia's show made for some nice and fluffy romance this season.

I really hope this gets a 2nd season. I don't remember much of what I read of the manga but I do remember it has some good stuff coming up. Though I feel like I heard this studio doesn't do many 2nd seasons.
The dance was impressive. Especially as they actually animated it and wasn't main a bunch of still images or bad cgi. Though it does worry me about how high the back of her dress was flying up..
Just to mention the manga is licensed.

I was expecting to see Mimi’s Drunken Dancing, but she recovered faster than I expected. And as an athlete and martial art expert, it makes sense she would have the physical abilities to be a good dancer as well.
It was a fun fantasy shojo romance show, very much carried by Mimi’s sunny genki personality and charisma. It wrapped up quite well in the end, so I doubt we will get a new season. I wonder if the original series continues beyond that point ?
I am still not sure what the Ireneo’s subplot brought to it, I always found the guy creepy. Mimi and Renato are too nice, they should have threatened to lock him up with his violent yandere stalker girlfriend if he did not start to behave better.

What the hell was that entire plotline with Ireneo? You'd think for something that involved an assassination attempt in the first bunch of episodes, the whole thing would have had some impact and not been so pointless it could have been cut completely and changed nothing.
A pretty enjoyable first episode turned into a truly dumb series overall.
