Showing to everyone who's boss, I see. I bet that the reason he took action like that was in order to gain him some last-minute points for the last spurt, since he could've just teleported the whole blimp, as Akane pointed out. He's a smart one, I tell ya :p

But yeah, very good series. Akane even grew on me more than I expected too! The end card was pretty sweet too, and very fitting since it came from the original author too :p

I laughed out loud when Kanade announced her intention to rule with an iron fist *whiplash*

I am surprised the father didn't said "Since I am retired I am going on a second honey moon, expect new siblings when we return!"

At least no one gets hurt and like Akane say, why didn't Shuu just use his power?


I think there must be limits to his power, just like Akane couldn't completely decelerate the blimp, Shuu can't teleport objects that big.

It was okay-ish. It was fun but not that good. Especially the ending is kind of anti-climatic and out of nowhere. A sick guy? Check. Main characters help each other to not leave behind any rivalry hatred between them? Check.

Of course Shu wins. Otherwise why would there be so much thing revolved around him (even I think he got more story than Akane).

So I'd rate 6/10 for the story and what I think kinda lame ending. Oh well, does that mean there will not be a second season? HanaKana and Akane would drag me for 2nd season surely.

Shu winning made me drop my final score from 7 to 6. Bullshit. I quite liked this show until those last few minutes.

Gutted that Aoi decided to drop out of the running. But Shu makes a good King. When Shiori grows up, she'd make the best King :D

Nice way to end the series; was actually worried at one point they wouldn't show who won the elections, but glad they did. Also nice to see them work together with their powers to save the citizens.

Overall I give this a solid 7/10.

Interesting story, good set of characters. Cheesy at times, but makes for easy viewing. Art was fine; OP and ED themes were a little cutesy, but suits the series.

Quite an entertaining show. I'm actually quite satisfied that Shu won. It's either her or Kanade since I somehow knew Aoi would have withdrawn. Glad it's not Akane because she's definitely not king material.

What's sad is there'll be no 2nd season for sure. This family is so cute I wouldn't mind watching more of their day-to-day antics.

8/10

PS: Oh, and not enough Shiori!! She's so precious that she almost topple K-On's Ui as my most wanted anime imouto

didn't expect shu to be the king.
i thought it would be kanade or akane.

That actually might have been the best episode. In any case, well done finale. I'm glad Shu was the king elect. Just seems like that fits.

Entertaining show and I enjoyed the dynamic cast each week.

This series wasn't anything too special, but it had a lot things I liked and were really well done.

First of all, the overall production value of the whole series was very high. I am thankful for that.

I really liked the character designs and the voice cast were just excellent.

Solid 8/10. I could return to the series some day, so I would see Akane again.

Haven't had this much fun watching a 1-cour show in a while.. it wasn't the best by far, but for me - it was fun.

I genuinely thought that they were going the obvious route and select Akane/Kanade as the new King (Or Queens..? I don't know xD) but Shuu actually got that spot.
Though with that speech, it was kinda already confirmed now that I think about it.

It was a good show and the fact that Akane didn't become king made it even better for me. Shuu is a much better choice even though I was rooting for Kanade but tbh she will be a dictator so this was better.

I was sure Aoi would give up, and it was nice that she told everyone about her power.
I was expecting Akane to win, but it was Shuu, guess his speech while saving everyone really helped him out, he and Hana does a really nice couple.
I really enjoyed this serie, more than others that had fights and all...

This was a surprise. To think Shuu would win... I was team Misaki all the way, but thought it would be Akane. But I guess Shuu is a good choice. He's the eldest son and this might be preplanned from the start to make him the king. Which means the purpose of the election was to give an opportunity to our main cast for their character growth. Not bad.

AND THAT END CARD IS MY ABSOLUTE FAV! PERFECT WAY TO CONCLUDE <3

All in all, 9/10. Highly satisfying.

I'm glad Akane didn't become king; she just seemed so incompetent to me. She had good intentions but I couldn't really see her getting anything done.
I was down for Haruka or Misaki as king but I knew that wasn't happening.
Shuu was a good choice.

Gotta love Aoi, although she ironically makes the best queen material, she really just wants a normal life. Shu as the next king huh? That certainly took me off guard, but the whole thing with the airship proved his leadership skills and how reliable he could be. Got a good chuckle when he realized he could have just teleported it though.

Overall this turned out to be my hidden gem of the summer season. I really wasn't expecting anything beyond wanting to hear HanaKana and it ended up being a great deal of fun. It was also sweet and heartwarming to see how each of the siblings grew from this election. That was probably the whole point of it - to let each of them discover what they truly want from themselves and that regardless of who won, each of them would choose a fulfilling path that best suits them. Particularly Akane, who despite losing and still staying in the public eye, seems less bothered by it and more open about who she is. Just like that dandelion at the end, she's making her way through the cracks to let her true self bloom without being tucked away out of sight.

Very happy with the conclusion and if you think about it, Shuu was indeed the best choice. He had good reasons for wanting to become king, a solid amount of votes to compete with the others.

- Kanade's initially had poor reasons to become king(queen) - one shouldn't become a ruler for the sake of just one person, no matter how close, and afterwards she kind of just wanted to do it for herself so yea...

- Akane's personally just didn't stand right with being a kin -queen.

- Aoi didn't want to do it, like at all. Yea sure, she was a nice, reliable & caring onee-san but we didn't see why she'd want to win even if she didn't have such powers.

- Haruka would probably be the closest thing to my 2nd choice, even thought I agree that staying in a secretary role fit's him better. He has the plans, but lack's some of the public charisma that others have, so working in the background is the best for him.

- Misaki wouldn't have been so bad either because as Haruka said, she understood the common people the most. However, reasons though..."I want to be king to so that Haruka would notice me..." eh...yea, pass...She also got involved a bit too much with common tasks that she'd probably have a hard time dealing with things on a larger scale. Certainly not a bad thing, but wouldn't call it kin--queen material.

- Hikari...you just do your idol thing, mkay?

- Teru's probably better suited to lead a police force, firemen or an agency that rescues people from natural disasters or something(when he's older ofc)

- As for Shiori, who knows how she'd up when she's older. Though I'd see her better as a vet, or helping running a hospital with Kanade.


Enjoyable little show anyway, with it's ups & downs. It was a given that having nine main characters in a twelve ep anime would make for some eps to be hit or miss depending on who you fancy. Like, I would've loved for all the time spent on Hikari's idol business to be replaced with more Shu & Sato. Sato in particular managed to shine more than some of the siblings - she's the unsung hero that REALLY needed more screentime.


7/10 - and Sato best girl.

I wanted Shuu to win and expected a cop-out ending like a tie or "the election will go on for another year" etc, so I am very pleasantly surprised with how it turned out.

I had no expectations for this show whatsoever in the beginning but as more and more episodes came out I became a huge fan.

Shuu and Hana forever~

Shuu becomes the king? I was expecting either Kanade or Akane to be the king after Aoi withdraw herself from the election. Haruka probably already knows who is going to be the king and just keep quiet about it. Also, I don't think Aoi telling the citizens her true ability is a good idea...

whelp...i really thought Misaki would be the next king because she's the most close with all of the citizens because of her clone ability that could help multiple people.
Just because of Shuu being in-charge of saving everyone against that Kirov-like air-ship he becomes king? goodluck with that, he'll be busy and no time fucking her loved-one Satou.
The only good thing for me that happened is from Aoi, when she revealed the truth of her in her speech, all those people hearing her speech, instead of being scared of her, they were all rooting and clapping and cheering for her because of her very good, true and pure intentions of not using her power Absolute Order because she know it's absolutely wrong because ordering people out of their own will is just pure BS!
4/5.

I'm actually glad how it ended. Aoi was perhaps for me the most boring out of all the siblings, she didn't really do much neither stand out to deserve been always the number 1 choice in the polls. Shuu at least showed much better qualities as a king without the need to be a perfect person like his older sister. Hopefully we get a season 2 and explore how things go after this.

Excellent episode, I expected some unexpected events in the last episode, but it was beyond what I imagined, a major problem for the brothers work together helping the population, actually also think Shuu could have solved it himself with his power, but I think he tried to show everyone that your family will always be ready to help, it was nice to see all the brothers working together, even those who did not do much

The character that I liked and wanted to become King eventually won the election, looking at all the personalities of the brothers I believe that he was the most prepared, but sometimes act strangely too, but still I think it was the best choice

The anime surprised me positively, at first I hardly watched it, but after watching the first episode I have created high expectations and was not disappointed, in my opinion was one of the best of the season, excellent characters, great soundtrack, and even having a simple plot is quite fun, sure I recommend the anime for everyone, especially those who want a good fun time ..

Shu definitely has most of the qualities as well as the rights to be the next king even from the very start:

1. He's male.
2, He's the eldest child.
3. He is the eldest son.
4. He has already found his future Queen.


If that actually played a role ... than sure but it really doesnt lol. If Aoi doesnt withdraw she likely wins in all honesty

Oh well
