Koi wa Sekai Seifuku no Ato de

Fudou Aikawa and Desumi Magahara have just started dating, but no one is allowed to know! Nicknamed "Red Gelato," Fudou is the leader of "Gelato 5," a group of heroes dedicated to protecting Japan. On the other hand, the "Reaper Princess" Desumi is one of the combatant leaders of "Gekko," an evil secret society bent on world domination and considered Gelato 5's greatest foe. As they pretend to be mortal enemies, Fudou and Desumi sneak away from battle to spend time together.

Despite their inexperience with romance, Fudou and Desumi strive to make their relationship work while avoiding suspicion from their comrades. With their loyalties divided between each other and their respective sides, the couple will have to stay on guard if they want to keep their love a secret from the rest of the world.

Wow an anime that actually balances comedy and romance perfectly, and has many well-developed characters that aren't the main cast, instant 9.

This anime actually surprised me, because the premise isn't really something new; forbidden love. However, the way they executed it was well done and pretty funny.

So, the story focuses on the hero team Gelato 5 and the villain organization Gekko, like other romcoms with this formula, two people from the opposing sides fall in love, and the show focuses on how they develop as a couple and how they hide it from the public. I don't think this anime focuses on the story, It's ... more on enjoyment and character development. What elevates this show though, is the pure nonsense put into the world. Take the time where they confess to each other, fudo (male mc) knows about desumi (female mc), who's identity is supposed to be a secret, is through social media, lol. It was just so hilarious and it took me off guard, and that basically sets the tone for the story: a wacky romcom whos humor focuses on romantic situations in a dumb world, and I fucking dig it.

This show provides us with problems, new characters, all the stuff you need for a good story, and pulls it off in a really fun way. The art is nice , I don't remember seeing any drops in quality, and the character designs were cool. The sound, was full of different bgm that really set the mood of the scenes and I think it was pretty good.

The cast is full of interesting people and they all feel good to watch. The main couple bring healing to my soul. Desumi is a really well done character who feels real. Fudo, you could say is kinda one dimensional, and that does take away from the story a bit, how he's a dense dude that only values muscles and Desumi, and doesn't have much to deal with. However, I don't think this was a bad choice, as (imo) the show is really about Desumi, how being with fudo change her is a theme throughout the show. So, the fact that fudo doesn't have his own problems, all stem from their relationship, is not the worse choice. I do still think that they could've given him problems for desumi to fix, but to be fair, with the given amount of episodes, I don't think that was possible. Next, it the rest of the gelato 5, they also are pretty 1 dimensional and have one character trait that they stick with, but as I said, the show doesn't really focus on fudo the characters of the gelato 5 don't really matter as much. Then there is the princess series (basically the rest of the teenage girls who are in gekko), their characters are really nice to watch and feel real. How the show introduces new princesses and builds on the already existing princesses was really a treat to watch, not something you'd expect from an anime that centralizes on "dumb" humor. Lastly, there is the families of the main couple, and they seem to achieve their purpose, as problems/new friends and stuff.

This show was a blast and I can see people not liking this show, as both the comedy and romance aren't what you'd see in other shows of those respective genres. However, all I'll say is give this show a chance, the quality of each episode is really consistent, so watching the first few episodes can really give a feel for the show. I really enjoyed this show and would totally recommend it to people who like "dumb" humor, and yeah that's all. Great anime.

Mixed Feelings

2 minutes in, and you perfectly know how the show going to be. Under the cherry blossom trees, a tsundere offers her homemade cookies with slight cleavage, to a guy in tight red suit & he accepts them, all the while a battle between your favorite fruit-colored rangers and some skull-masked goons happens in the background equipped with flashy guns, punches and tight suits
"Love After World Domination" (LAWD) is about "Desumi Magahara", the Death princess of an evil organization known as 'Gekko' & "Fudo Aikawa", the leader of the Gelato 5 hero squad which opposes Gekko. Despite being rivals, they end up falling in ... love with each other and now, they have to progress their forbidden love story while still keeping it a secret from the entire world.

Excluding a certain 2 episodes, what LAWD does well is give a good old romance. Instead of prolonging a confession, it dives directly into the relationship aspect and just lets it sail, with the last episode being one amazing moment. There aren't any irritating love triangles that last forever or anything like that. Just you're cute & sweet, uninterrupted and wholesome romance. If you're here for that then you'll be pleased. Those 2 episodes though, actually are a bit rushed and interrupt this main romance, even though it tried to force development on 2 characters. Speaking of characters;

Where's the Power Rangers shit? The rival element isn't interesting one bit. It feels more like two working companies competing with each other rather than "Good vs Evil" organizations, like we should've seen in a Power Rangers setting. It's boring. The characters aren't anything special either. Desumi has some level of depth but apart from her, everyone (including Fudo) are just the same old stupid characters with same old archetypes you see in every other romance setting. And of course, there aren't any fights between giant Gundam-type robots & kaijus or anything like that. Very disappointing. Comedy? Yeah, it's not unfunny. Some facial expression and Fudo's "Oh.. How Cute!" can be found adorable but it wasn't that funny. There are some bright fights here & there to please the fans but wasn't enough. The opening & especially ending is really cute.

What LAWD should've done, is to maintain a balance tokusatsu & romance but what it became? A romance with a Tokusatsu cover. Apart from the somewhat of a unique setting, there isn't anything unique in execution. The elements are as generic as a high school romance (Dates + Study Sessions + Beach Episodes + Cultural Episodes... You should get the drill). And there really isn't anything going on other than that.

For romance fans, this'll be a treat.
But for people who were baited with the power rangers plot, it'll be a huge disappointment.

Preliminary (6/12 eps)

Surely it may seem to be a unique take on romcoms where heroes and supervillains get into a "forbidden love", Love After World Domination is nothing but saccharine barf once you get a taste of getting cooties from naughty girls back at elementary school. (Also known as cringe) Overall the context of the show has "been there, done that" in every existing medium if you take off the Tokusatsu parody elements. No offense but it's baffling to me and more power to you if anyone out there found this anime entertaining. Now if you excuse me, I better get myself a barf bag...
