Say bye to Niamh and the girls.
Fun Fact! Niamh’s pronounced, sharp nose was inspired by another loving stepmom: Queen Hilling from the Ranking of Kings anime. If you haven’t seen that one, give it a watch! It’s a ride.
So best stepmom has inspiration from other best stepmom. May her life be happy and her days many.
It will! So say I, the person writing the story.
Well ,looks like it’s time for Brian to chase away his oldest daughter and leave her with VERY bitter-sweet memories of home.
He’ll try his darnedest.
Is it a coincidence that the girls look like Daida and Bojji?
Haha! Yes, actually, but I guess it fits!
Oh! That anime is surprisingly good. I like to go for anime that don’t have the “anime” style – “Kaiba” for an example, or the witch scenes in “Puella Magica Madoka”. “Ranking of Kings” had a very old time kids storybook style to it that drew me in, but then the story went in directions I did not expect. Every character was true to their arc – Queen Hilling’s slow reveal that she is NOT the “wicked stepmom” was very endearing. King Desha, the Underworld King, is also not the villain that he seems at first. But the characters are revealed, not just a sudden turn (queue Robot Chicken voice “What a Twist!”).
Still ain’t Erased, my top anime in the last few years, but it is very good.
Watch it. Watch it now!
Yeah! Ranking of Kings was great because it played so much with my expectations. Always fun.
