Soredemo sekai wa utsukushii

A beautiful beautiful tale of love between two apparently unevenly yoked prople! Princess Nike is good, kind, strong and quick to unleash wind that can cut through steel bars! And oh yes; very pretty to boot. King Livius is a precociously superlative monarch who conquered the world in 3 years through shrewdness and an iron will! But wait; he is just a kid! Still; the more lasting and precious traits of each shine through as he tries his usual brusqueness on her and she shows her moral compass and strength of character even in the face of personal safety. I admire Liviius' ability to judge character; his harshness eventually mellowing when he realises the inner beauty and fortitude of his wife...And what vocals for Nike! Enough to stop and force tears from the eyes! Enjoy the goofy situations which give us chuckles but still warms the heart when we realise this series is about the hidden things of the heart and mind, the yearnings and the bliss of discovering one's soulmate! Touché! I'd recommend this series for anyone waiting to feel warm and fuzzy all over!

I really like this anime. I have trouble to find proper romance anime, sometimes anime's title romance but there arent contain satisfying love story, even no kiss:/ there are so many cute moments and kisses between Livi and Nike. There are both good characters, especially Nike. She is indepented, brave and capable. ( unlike many anime girls:/) Yes, Livi is more younger than Niki but the love between them is still beautiful:) I think, those who have/had a young crush are likely to like this anime.

It would have been more positively received if King Livius had been portrayed as an older individual. I tried to watch it three times, but it was only on my fourth attempt that I accepted the fact that he is 11-13 while she is 16-18, which feels quite unsettling. However, aside from that, I found the main song used during her ritual to be beautiful, and the animation was stunning. "The World Is Still Beautiful" made for a good anime overall, despite the troubling age gap. I just tried to put aside my feelings about the age gap simply by imagining he was just unusually very short rather than being quite a few years younger than his "wife".

Yes the age difference is odd... But it is only an anime and I would really like to see another season when he is older

This is one of my favorite animes! It is just so sweet and romantic (to me anyway)... I hope they make more episodes. It may be a long shot, but I loved it!!
