■Review"Lime-iro Ryuukitan X [cross] ~Love, Teach Me~" is an entertainment piece that skillfully incorporates the historical background of the Meiji era. As the original is an 18+ game, it contains some adult elements, but in the anime adaptation, these have been appropriately adjusted to create content that can be enjoyed by a wide range of viewers. The story centers around Inukai Goshiro and the five girls who support him. Goshiro's hot-blooded personality and the individuality of each character are prominent, making it appealing to viewers. There are many humorous scenes, especially Tsumugi Shima's delusional tendencies and Kasuri Hattori's failed ninjutsu, making it enjoyable to both laugh and be moved. In addition, the depiction of the Reibu-tai's exploits against the backdrop of the historical setting of the Russo-Japanese War will be of interest to history fans. The anime's production staff is also impressive, faithfully recreating the worldview of the original work while also producing beautiful visuals and music of a high standard. The opening theme, "Shijunka," and the ending theme, "Tasogare Shoujo," are also important elements that add to the atmosphere of the story. Although it is a short series with only 13 episodes, each episode advances the story well, depicting the growth of the characters and changes in their relationships. In the final episode, "Teach Me About Love and Victory!", the bond between Tsuyoshiro and the girls is put to the test, leading to a touching conclusion. This work is a well-worth-watch anime that exquisitely combines romance, action, and historical background. ■ Recommendation pointsHere are some reasons why I recommend this work: 1. Charming charactersThe characters, including Inukai Takeshi, are all unique and charming. In particular, the character settings of the five maidens are unique, and their growth and changes add excitement to the story. Viewers will empathize with their exploits and be drawn into the story. 2. Historical BackgroundThe story, set during the Russo-Japanese War in the Meiji era, is also interesting for history fans. The anime realistically depicts the social situation and military aspects of the time, making it a good opportunity to deepen your historical knowledge. 3. A balance of humor and emotionThe show has a perfect balance of humorous and touching scenes, so viewers will not tire of it. In particular, the comedy scenes that make use of the characters' personalities not only make you laugh, but also add depth to the story. 4. High-quality productionThe production staff's skills shine through in this work, with the character design, art, music, and everything else being of a high standard. In particular, the work of Yoshiten, who was in charge of character design, brings out the charm of the characters to the fullest. The music is also an important element in enhancing the atmosphere of the story. 5. A short series, but well worth watchingAlthough it is a short series with only 13 episodes, each episode advances the storyline well, showing the growth of the characters and changes in their relationships. The emotional conclusion of the final episode is sure to leave a strong impression on viewers. ■ Summary"Lime-iro Ryuukitan X [cross] ~Love, Teach Me~" is an entertainment piece that skillfully incorporates the historical background of the Meiji period.
