Rae Taylor says, "Forget the hot guys, I want the girl," in contrast to most otome isekai. This particularly sticks out to me because Rae rejects a lot of the otome tropes that have already been established. You can't help but smile whenever you watch her and Claire together because of their flawlessly crafted journey from unrequited crush to friend to best friend to lovers. The romance makes sense and is unadulterated. The spectator has a front-row seat as Claire's stony-cold heart gradually melts and begins to open out to Rae.
The commoner/noble split lies at the heart of the anime's world-building, since Rae, a commoner without a distinguished heritage, presents particular difficulties for Claire and her relationship. One distinctive feature of the anime is Claire's cognitive dissonance between her relationships with some commoners and the commoners as a whole. Over the course of the episode, Claire comes to terms with Rae but doesn't change her prejudices about other people. The plot becomes more engrossing because of the characters' subtle evolution.
The way this program handles same-sex relationships maturely and like it's normal makes it stand out. Rae's sexuality is accepted by the supporting cast, who encourage her without making fun of it. Rae's sexuality is not extensively discussed by the author, which is different from other Yuri shows that frequently leave things vague. This distinct strategy distinguishes the program.
As you may expect from the stunning LN art, the show has some really beautiful character designs and artwork. The animation is more than adequate for any action scenario, even though it's nothing spectacular. Wiz, the show's production value is excellent.
Wataoshi is unique in every way, from Rae's past to the class discussion to the way the LGBTQ community is portrayed in the narrative. Although I've had the novels on my to-read list for years, I still haven't gotten around to it, but after watching this incredible anime version, I know I'll enjoy the books. I think this show is the industry standard for Yuri, and I'm really delighted with it.
