"The Royal Tutor" is definity a show that positively surprised me. I went in with vague expectations, since the description and cover reminded me a lot of cheap harem style shows with no real effort behind it. But I was wrong. Boy, was I wrong...
I'll try to keep it spoiler free as much as possible.
First, let me tell you that "The Royal Tutor" is by any means no masterpiece, but it turned a pretty average setting into an interesting plot with likeable characters and a satisfying conclusion. So I can definitely say that the show turned out pretty solid, although the first few episodes can be a bit slow. My recommendation is to keep watching until at least episode 4 or 5, so the story can get to the point of interest.
Our set of main characters starts out pretty one-sided, but that doe…

Equally charming and stern, Heine Wittgenstein is a brilliant man who commands respect, despite his short, childlike stature. Thus, the king of Grannzreich has called upon Heine to undertake a daunting task that has driven away many before him—become the new royal tutor to four princes who are in line for the throne.
The four heirs each have very distinct and troublesome personalities: Licht, the flirtatious youngest prince; his immature older brother Leonhard; Bruno the studious third prince; and Kai, the oldest of the four and the most reserved. Hilarity ensues as Heine attempts to connect with each of the princes in order to groom them for the throne. However, Heine's mysterious past and dark undercurrents in the present may threaten the harmony within the kingdom.
Story - it is very…

Overall I would rate it a 9/10
The art is extremely pleasing to look at and even the soundtrack is nice. I found the characters to be very fun, usually i dislike some of the tropes they used here but they made it fit like no other. No character was I annoyed by. For some reason even the obnoxious ones didnt annoy me because they were portrayed as people with actual personalities not a one dimensional character.
If you enjoy when the main character is extremely smart basically a genius in their fields, I would say to give this anime a try. Maybe not one of the best anime's I've watched but still I enjoyed it thoroughly. It may seem a bit serious but if you enjoy heartwarming conversations and some comedy I'd definitely recommend it.
One thing though, do not come watching this anime for r…

Probbaly one of the best slice of life anime ever
The story is about a teacher who teaches 4 princes, preparing them to be fit for the next king. Their relationship started off very bad, especially with prince Leonhard
I laughed a lot and this anime never failed to entertaint me.
The story is a so-so but that's expected since this is just a slice of life. But the story is abit become more interesting as the eldest prince made hsi first appearance and apprently, tho there's no real villain, prince eins with count rosenberg is not good guys for the four princes
Heine is so cute. He's an old shota

An odd spot to start off the anime with, but still ended up with just the right amount of lightheartedness. Good job on choosing this one to have available to stream, Netflix.
If you're studying to become a teacher, want to find an anime with basic Japanese vocabulary, or even something that you could watch together with your family, this is a really good one. Yeah, you might be slightly offput by how they are the typical type of characters you'd normally see in animes, but yee
It's heartwarming, really cute, and has a necessary antagonist to progress the story revolving around the four quirky princes in line for the throne and the royal teacher Heine. I can't stress enough how cute it is. I would have loved to fangirl over them if i was watching this 10 years ago.

How did I not watch this sooner? Truly one of the best I've seen in my short time in watching anime; and with no boring qualities.
Story: Simple concept; a tutor comes in to teach 4 young princes about what it takes to be a king but also make sure it's to their unique ways. At first, I thought it was quite simple and didn't think that it would go very far, but the more I watch, the more it just became something so invigorating and exciting to see what the princes will learn; the lessons Heine taught to the princes can even apply to how we live our everyday lives and it shows how it just works so well. Even when delving into past events to show what happened between Heine and Viktor, everything made sense and answers all the looming questions.
Art: The art is quite unique to someone who…

it is another good story with lessons to learn, and students who need to be taught. i wish it would have gone more into world building and getting to see the world at large, but i can also appreciate the secluded world where princes live. the characters make you fall in love with them, in their own special ways, and it grows on you. all in all i would love to see more than just this and the movie.
rewatchability is average, as i liked the show, i could watch it again, but i dont have the drive to. I more would like to see more, rather than only see it again.

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 felt like 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…

To be honest, this was the best slice of life anime I have ever watched. It bought together comedy and seriousness into the story which made it well-balanced.
One key point that was well made in the anime was the character development. Since the cast was quite small, the main characters all had excellent personality change throughout the story. I could remember their names and personalities very clearly and even though Heine doesnt have much emotions shown through his face or in the story, I could still feel like his personality/person in general was complete.
Although I dont think the opening song was catchy to me, I liked the ending song in the final episode, it made me feel happy and sad at the same time since the story is ending. One con though, is the similarity in the voices of th…

This anime is about 4 prince's who are not very keen on learning, but our main character Heine changes it, of course. Who would guess that? This anime has very straightforward plot. We first get to know all of boys. And the plot is wandering about the same thing (one of our princes has a problem and Heine is there to help to him overcome it) in almost every episode. This got boring after second prince. The main "antagonist" was very weak and I don't even know if i can call him like that. Even though connection between Heine and ****** was obvious from the very beginning
it was something refreshing in this story. I liked the flashbacks. And for story that's it. Nothing amazing, but it wasn't too bad either.
I don't have much to say about animation. It's average. Chibis were cute. I didn't…

So I discovered this show by watching some Gigguk old seasonal anime video and i really don't get why this anime was completely missed during its season.
The story is pretty basic but interesting. The most prominent part of this show is its characters development. Even tho its supposed to be centered around the prince we got some twist and backstory toward the end.
The art is really good and the princes are all good looking. I could feel that this show was made for the fangirls. We have a lot of chibis but it didn't disturb me.
The show can be really funny while still remaining serious when it needs to.
Overall i really enjoyed this show. Its good but nothing more.

Plot: 7/10
I have dive into the world of fanfiction so this the idea or based of the plot is nothing new for me. However, a familiar plot could be entertaining if the presentation of the idea is done well and for this case, yes, it successfully entertains me. I jumped into the anime blind and didn't know what to expect nor what kind of story this is so I'm pleasantly surprised. The plot is simple and very easy to understand which I believe would be a good anime for beginners or for someone who just wants to get out from anime slump.
The flow of the plot is well paced and there's not so much plot hole. However, I am very interested to know about the first prince. If there's any second season, it would be nice to include the first prince also.
The story is laced with serious and touching…

Don't be tricked by my seemingly low score, I'm very stringent when it comes to scores and to earn a 10/10, it has to be flawless, one of the best things I've ever seen, to get a 9/10, it has to be at least so enjoyable that I can't stop watching as if spellbound with no(to me) bad parts. To reach an 8/10, it's still extremely good without any striking/notable boring or crappy/irritating parts, a show that I got pretty immersed into and are kinda sad ended because I would've wanted to see more.
Sure, there were bad parts about it too, like the fact that it's a bit overly simplistic with illogical conclusions to many things, it just wouldn't work out like that if it was real. The story itself was fairly shallow too and it's fairly slow-paced. Then there's the art, where my main complaint i…

To put simply, the characters are great!!!! I think the plot can be a bit slow moving and a bit repetitive with the -prince has a bad trait-> Heine helps to fix said trait->Heine acknowledges prince for who he is->everyone gets closer- in the beginning but each episode focuses on the adorable personality issues of all the characters and Heine has a past himself that we dive into.
I don't think the art is anything too spectacular, but there is definitely nothing wrong with it and this anime's focus isn't to have the most beautiful scenes in anime. The focus of this anime is character growth and it is definitely meeting that goal!

I really cried with this anime. It's just beautiful. The songs are great too.
In the first episodes you can be bored, but I swear you won't regret it. Of course it depends on the kind of anime you like and you can be disappointed.
It's an historical anime, so the characters wear elegante and chic clothes. That has a lot of comedy and slice of life. Each episode you become more and more fascinated with the story and the characters. It has a bit of drama (a bit indeed). So, if you're a crybaby like me you will probably cry. Or not. Just watching to know.

TLDR: Pretty Slice of life show with great characters
Oushitsu Kyoushi Heine is a bright slice of life show that really explores its characters and its world.
The Story is fairly good, I would not say that it is the star of the show, but it has a narrative that makes a lot of sense in the setting and they make use of the characters and the setting well to produce a story that feels very natural and makes it feel we have a glimpse into this world.
The Art is very nice, I really like how the characters are drawn in this show, I think the style is distinct enough that you could pick it out easily but it also is not so crazy that you have no sense of realism left. I think this show strikes a good balance between artistic rendition and realistic settings
The Characters are a very strong par…

I adore this anime and I hope that it will continue.
Story: 10
Story is about 4 princes of Grannzreich kingdom who are in need of a tutor for their grooming to be a future king. They happend to reject all previous tutor, so king had to call, Heine Wittgenstein. All of them have different personalities with which Heine has to deal with in order to teach them well.
Story is very sweet and it has a lot of lessons that are even useful for us as readers, not only for princes.
Characters:10
Characters development is great and afer every lesson they princes change their behavior and way of thinking. Each character has flaws and virtues and they are very easy to like. 4 princes are very different from each other and have never been out of palace. They have no image of how people live. I person…

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 becomes more 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…

This review is for people like me who watch anime for enjoyment and don't pick everything apart. I won't go into excruciating detail but keep it simple.
The princes are complex, unique, endearing, and charming. I adore each of them in so many ways. This show does a wonderful job presenting each of them in their own way, and they're all represented equally.
The balance between comedy and drama is spot on, everything happens for a reason. There were very few repetitive scenes, but they weren't fillers, they were acceptable based on the context. I was totally hooked the entire time.
The animation is flawless and stunning. The characters are extremely expressive, there is never a dull moment with them. The hair and eyes were especially well done. They also had the perfect use of chibis,…

I'm not sure why people disliked this anime, I'm kinda guessing because of the comedy part where Haine becomes a chibi (that's cute though, well at least to me😂)
Anyway it's full of life lessons such as, not judging people by the looks, it takes time to get to know someone, the first impression isn't always the best, and so on. Plus, the character development is very clear. Haine, the royal tutor clearly helps us show that princes are growing, and treat them evenly. Not only does Haine teaches the princes, but as I said we learn life lessons from him too.
If you're into life lessons then this would be the anime for you, and don't worry it's definitely not boring. This anime also has comedy and finding out about the Haine's past.
What he did in the past may not be serious, but by Hain…
