I'm an adult, I watch this, and I'm not ashamed to admit it! :p

I was surprised at how entertaining this was. The first season I really enjoyed. It did have its problems, mainly inconsistencies. but, it had heart, and a usually interesting plot-Especially toward the end. Also, the acting for most actors was much better than I expected--

The second season I found lame, though. Boring overall plot. The princess and Kuru rarely have on-screen time together; and their dynamic kinda made the show. I am not saying they had to develop a romance (though that was an interesting subplot); they just needed scenes together.

The writers 86ed her father, her adoptive family, her cousin, the funny moments, I think 2 years or so their lives, the idea of her becoming queen, improving her magic skills, the box of magic tiles, Anala as a character instead of merely transportation, much of the palatial aspects of the story, the nobles (it seemed like Kuru was the acting ruler at the beginning)...yeah..so lots of things that made the show fun and interesting. I was especially bummed by Anala's demotion in the show. The Anala episode (toothbrush one) in the first season was one of the best episodes.

the music was much better in the 2nd season, though. It was generic; but the first season had songs that were ear-wrenching. And, the new drummer was cool, too.
