Straight to the point, I will review a short series from serialized manga w/ the same name, Himegoto (ひめゴト / Secret Princess). The manga debut started in 2011, written and illustrated by Norio Tsukudani. Anime adaptation aired on Summer 2014 by Asahi Production.
Just to be blunt~and maybe also warning~its comedy genre contains trap! Yeah, you read it right, where the "hero's" everyday school life in this series, ruined by his parents debt and got forced by the student council at Shimoshina High School (霜科高校), makes earnings by being a toy of its student council to pay off the debt.
( Here is the post of Himegoto pics (๑•w•̩) ) | 【Download the theme songs here ♪♩♫♬】
Don't assume what's worst, I guarantee how amusing it is!
Now, about the characters (wwww~ I even laugh when type this paragraph). The story centers around 8 characters involved, 4 of them are student council members, include the hero, named Hime Arikawa. 4 others are from public morals committee, who never get along w/ student council. Collision of opinions and acts between them happens frequently, so absurd (゜ν`(∋─━┌(`・ڡ・´ ┌)! Uniqueness among all of the members is the tastiest reason why you should try to watch this one! Don't jump to conclusion so fast, you'll reveal the hidden truths of the characters one by one, not to mention, in a humorous way.
How about the music? So lively I could say! When I usually skip the OP after watched it once, I didn't treat Himegoto series OP the same as others. I wait it patiently and stemed-up to the song. I personally don't know and never had to search before whether there are characters song available or not. But I can say by the OP itself, it's nice and fit the series.
The last aspect may be the graphics. Not much to say from the graphics use for the series. No special or superior thing on it, but please note that the anime is well prepared, different from some short series w/ somewhat below average for graphics. The colours are mixing right, not too bright, tends to emphasize the prominent colours. The details and movements of scenes or characters are good.
Summary, for the trap genre as the main points which is rare to be animated, I really idolize it. Override the plus points from my point of view, I give 7 for Himegoto series. ╰( ´・ω・)つ──☆
Pros:
- Trap as main dish
- The characters which bring joy
- Sounds lively the music
Cons:
- Mostly trap topics
- Somewhat average graphics (and censored, well I watched the non Blu-Ray ver wwwwww~)
