I Really enjoyed this show. There are so many lovable charachters and also one of my favourite charachters of all time Obi. Of course there are many better romance anime than this, but I feel like snowhite with red hair was a really calming and nice show to watch. Although the ending is not the best I really liked both seasons and I feel like it was most deferently worth watching, and I deferently recommend this show. The art style is also great, there is a lot more they could've done but this show will still have a place in my heart. I feel like just the charachter Obi made this show 100 times better to watch. The charachters weren't too overpowered and the fighting scenes were great. So this is a deferently good show to watch if you like good romance and drama.

I love this show (both seasons) because of it's emphasis on independence and forging your own path. When I started watching I was expecting a very cookie cutter romance anime, however this turned out to be a story that focused on Shirayuki's life and development. I think it illustrates a healthy dynamic between Shirayuki and Zen, which is what I love. Rather than being co-dependent like in some romance anime, their relationship takes a backseat to their character and career development. They compliment each other while still prioritizing their own goals. There's also a noticeable lack of the nonsensical drama you often see in romance anime, usually caused by unnecessary poor communication. The show does fall into some pretty familiar character tropes (i.e. pretty nice girl woos every guy s…

I'm a little bit surprised by all the raves for the second season of Snow White with the Red Hair, but to me it was such a chore to watch through. A lot of the positives in the first season - Shirayuki being kidnapped and escaped her own home, fought back against her captors, try to enter the castle on her own talent..etc. kinda lost in this season. Instead, Season 2 devolved into exploring the side characters more (not bad in itself) but the role of damsel-in-distress from Shirayuki get worse here.
Where is my capable heroine? All Shiruyaki did this season was drinking tea, lecturing Raj, got herself captured by some evil pirate lady, and conveniently rescued by Zen.
The only positive episode that I truly enjoyed was Mitsuhide's loss memory arc, which was hilarious, and his backstory…

Adorable. Cute and wholesome and simply adorable. If you're looking for something with an intricate plot and a lot of drama, you're not gonna find it here. But let's face it. If you're watching this, you're not watching it for the plot. You're watching it for the relationships. It's a plain and simple love story, no more, no less.
Even side side characters get relationships and they're super cute, too. (Actually, some of them are almost better than the mains.)
If heartwarming fairy tale romance without a lot of drama is what you're looking for... you can't get much more on point than this.

So... I have watched all episodes, 1st season beautiful, expectations getting high because plot is really good, but then in 2nd season stuff are being prolonged and not much progress on main story is shown. From start it's basically very interesting, more and more new things but what people want to see is mostly I believe progress in relationship which is almost none...Then I continued reading manga (no spoilers) and I had to drop it and not wait anymore. I had sincere hopes that it will be getting better but in my opinion it slowed down even more... But well for some it can be interesting but for me its big no. Anyway putting decent overall since there's no 3rd season yet and it might be hopefully saving things a little.

If I could describe this anime in one word it would be: pure. It's such a cute and innocent anime, and one thing I always complain about is when there are a lack of romantic moments in the series, but this one had just the right amount!
I REALLY love Zen, his personality, his charisma, his looks. Literally everything about his character is so nice. He's confident in any situation, unlike the prince of Tanbarun, and he just oozes charisma and charm. His character was very nicely done.
I also like how each main character got their own story and we saw a bit of history for them. A lot of times, the other main/side characters (Mitsuhide and Kiki and Obi) would just be there for the purpose of "bettering" the MAIN characters (Zen and Shirayuki), but they had their own stories and I loved tha…

Kyaaaannnn!!! This was such a good continuation!!! From the dangers, to the resolution, to the character development and even the way it wrapped up! Loved loved loved it!! Too bad it was just 12 episodes!! I would have wanted more!! But I appreciate them for not wrapping it up in any way that would deviate from the main story. After all the manga is still publishing! I absolutely hate it when animators destroy the main story just to wrap up an anime! So I appreciate the ending and I will of course go on to read the manga!! Love this story way too much to stop here!!
Absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a lovely story about love, royal obligations, rising to meet and overcome challenges, and working hard to make the dreams of the ones you care for come true! It was lovely!!

ENG: the second season is still good and with the same technical qualities of the first season. However, the main storyline becomes more monotonous and without major challenges to be overcome by the main characters of the anime. The supporting characters continue to be charismatic, but there are no major developments that have already been seen in the first season. At least the romance and the drama around the protagonists remains very cool. Unfortunately, the anime ends with a season without great emotions (compared to the first season), besides that, the ending leaves half-open plot to continuations.
PORT: a segunda temporada se mantém no geral boa e com as mesmas qualidades técnicas da primeira temporada. Entretando, a história principal passa a ser mais monótona e sem grandes desafios…

First things first. My "reviews" system is explained on a blog entry. Which can be found through my profile.

Reviewing it weeks after watching.. sort of couldn't get around. So will review as my memory lets me.
Also this review makes me wonder If I should ever bother adding voice acting general gist as well into reviews..Hmm, not sure if can be bothered. But if anything utterly noticeable regarding VA I hear/see. I will add in Sound section comments regarding it.

So, village girls ends up working at royal family. In sense to prove herself and others. And the anime is about her daily activities as well about other character stories. Adding the whole superb romance element makes this Anime absolutely sweet, cute and fun. Cannot say much without spoiling, but I can say that mu…

I already have reviewed the first season, and the second season definitely improves in many areas. Some may say that some of the characters aren't being consistent and that may be true, but I want to think of it as changing or evolving for sake of the story. The first season felt okay, but there wasn't really much story to it as it just, more or less, about the development of the main characters. This time around, the second season actually have quite the plot and there is a little twist in it too. The progress of second season felt appropriate and actually makes you want to continue. Right near the end, we come to learn more about some characters which is great because the first season lacks background characters for a few. Second season adds more to the characters while progress with the…

A really good sequel that expands upon the characters in the first show.
As always, I love the dynamics between Shirayuki and the men in her life. They all fall for her a little, and she ultimately changes the people she meets for the better and builds lasting friendships.
I enjoyed seeing Raj and Zen grow up in this show. Of course Zen was always nice, but I really feel like in this show he demonstrates the maturity that he needs to be able to keep up with Shirayuki.
This show is funny in that almost every villain (with the exception of Madame Sea-Snake) ends up being influenced by Zen and Shirayuki and changing their ways. It's really quite heartwarming. Case in point: Raj. In trying to earn Shirayuki's respect, he ends up earning the respect of the others around him and learning to…

I did not like the second season very much.
In the second season Shirayuki gets to dress pretty, have tea with her agressor (which, granted, happens to be one of the best characters in this season), get kidnapped, get kidnapped again and cry. There is a whole lot of crying. It's like she isn't even the same character anymore.
Once I noticed how little agency* this new version of Shirayuki had, I also noticed that there wasn't a single thing that had happened because of her. It's not only that she could be substituted by a pretty red lamp and the story would be the same, it's that she wasn't important enough in her own series to even merit being the reason plot happens. Things happened because people were trying to do something else and she happened to be there. Motivations for characters…

(This review has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!)
I’ve never liked apples.
Sure, their outer casing is both shiny and biodegradable. But it’s a literal chore to completely peel the skin off (if one does not have a utensil or does not like the taste). Plus, they hurt my teeth. The acidity has always ruined any chances of me eating anything more after consuming these “toxic” fruits.
Akagami no Shirayuki-hime 2nd Season features an apple of sorts. But, thankfully, it is an apple that is far from toxic.
STORY
Akagami returns for the continuation to its split-cour. To be expected, Shirayuki, Zen, and many others return as well for more fairy-tale happenings.
Looking at Akagami’s narrative as a whole reveals an interesting direction. Two-thirds of the season are de…

Akagami no Shirayuki Hime review
The story is simple and follows a slow and natural pace in developing a romance story between Shirayuki and Zen.
The anime focuses on aspects like bonds, trust and the encounter with different people and how those encounters change us and the world around us.This is all done with the help of the characters which the show manages to use them properly to execute its plot and story.
The romance story in this anime is not rushed at all , the development is done at a steady and natural pace . At first we are shown how the bond between two people is founded with the help of the red string called fate. It’s the meeting between our two main characters Zen and Shirayuki who are brought together by the red string (fate). After that the show focuses on enforcing tha…

"Red is the colour of Fate"
It is very rare that when I start watching a show that by the time I finish both seasons I find myself thinking, "that ended perfectly and I honestly hope for no more seasons". Akagami no Shirayuki-hime was one of those shows that sticks with you like a hot glue gun sticking to your skin. Except a lot less painful, as you would actually enjoy watching this show. I hope you understood my metaphor. TL;DR - this show sticks with you
The story continues from the last season (obviously) and is executed well--if not better than the first season--making it enjoyable to watch. The art is phenomenal (as is the sound) resulting in a very calming show to sit down and watch on a lazy weekend. The characters stay much the same, as is mentioned multiple times by the charac…

*I watch both seaons*
As a girl I really enjoy this Shoujo romance anime. It's sweet,innocent, motivating ,love story between a prince(Zen) and a commoner girl(Shirayuki). Zen also has loyal friends who aid him in tough times and have fun.
Story wise is nothing too extraordinary, but is relaxing, the slice of life part is good and funny. I love how the other male characters have good feelings towards Shirayuki, but as a friend or maybe not?
but I was hoping there will be some quarrel because things is just too good to be true, is a fairytale like story after all.

Although I absolutely adored the first season of Shirayuki, I must admit for the first few episodes of season 2 I couldn't decide whether I liked it as much. At first, I felt a little bit like the show had lost some of its magic... and maybe it was because Zen and Shirayuki were apart for a while, maybe I just didn't enjoy the plot arc quite as much... I don't really know. But, it didn't really take away from my score too much, as it seemed to pick up for me again after I made it through the first 5 episodes or so, and once again I fell in love with this sweet story <3
Firstly, I have to comment on the art again. I just love it. I think it might be the most beautiful style of anime art that I've seen. It's so colorful and detailed without being over the top, and it really adds to the magi…

Akagami no Shirayukihime or Snow White with the Red Hair in English is a beautiful Romance/Slice of life anime based in a Fantasy setting.
The second season in my opinion didn't have as much of an impact on me as the first season however has it's beautiful and tear jerking moments, some surpassing season 1.
The art style is perfect for the anime and the animation quality is top notch. However the story lacks a bit in my opinion as not a whole lot happens in terms of events, but you do learn a lot more about the supporting casts and Shirakyuki herself.
The anime focuses on Shirayuki and Prince Zen and their struggles due to the difference in their social statuses. There is a wide range of supporting cast whom are all likeable from the female knight Kiki who is the cool headed badass to t…

A new chapter in a story.... that's what a sequel is. That new chapter may improve the story, or it may make it worse. However, there's also the possibility that you may enjoy the sequel as much as the story that came before it; for me, that was the case with Snow White with the Red Hair. I had actually watched the first season (and reviewed it), and I really adored it; since I reviewed the first season, I decided that I would review the second season when it was done airing. That's proving to be a difficult task; I mean, what is there to be said about this season that I already said about the first season?
In case you are not familiar with this series, Snow White with the Red Hair follows a girl named Shirayuki, who is an herbalist known for her unusual, apple-colored hair. When the prin…
