Being granted the power of super strength is a blessing. Well, to some people, at least. Sophia only wants to keep a low profile and avoid getting attention, especially from Carrisa, who comes from a noble family and bullies her every day. Until she gets the power of a god, not just any gob but of a rare god called the Gorilla, giving her the ability of strength seven times without being pressured to join the knights but wishing her the best. Her journey begins with Louis, a guy she met at training who also recently joined her school. It's a cliche story with confusion.
Animation (9): It's decently animated, from The way the scenes are on screen, and the animation looks alright. But done in a way that feels like any of the rom-com fantasy settings seen in the genre. With a school setting and another side hustle, such as military training. Which are typical of a fantasy-style kingdom with nobles. There is nothing else to say on an individual level regarding animation.
Audio (5): It's an average sound mixing—reminiscent of otome games set in the fantasy genre, with similar theming that matches the theme and vibe of the overall. At the same time, it gets generic and somewhat repetitive in sound, with classical music and noble party music. Maybe some variation can be utilized as an improvement.
Characters (4): We meet Sophia, a noble from a country who wishes for a low profile in the background. Until she gains the Gorilla gob powers and gets recommended to be in the knights. Which contains Louis, Isaac, and Eddie. Which are below average in romantic interest, with Louis being in the lead. Who is often likened to a squirrel and has a squirrel-like form, in contrast to Isaac and Eddie, who possess normal "dog" and "cat" traits and personalities. The reveal of Louis's change into a squirrel surprised me, as other animal abilities do not allow the person to transform into the animal form. However, it provides only limited information about the characteristics of the animal in question, such as the mole god's ability to see in the dark, which Clarisa is currently demonstrating: Clarisa, Sophia's "bully" for being from a lower social status than hers. Then, later, her friend met Araignee at the party. Where she befriends and then betrays Sophia by force, and she later regains her trust in one episode. Also, the "villain" character Leohart had a rags-to-riches story. With exploitation, it is because the nobles are snobbish and greedy, seeking their benefit. However the dynamics between each character are alright, but the only significant problem is that it becomes unaddressed when they suddenly become friends. Or I realized that I dislike it now. Leading to confusion and dull characters.
Story (5): A pretty stereotypical romance fantasy setting with nobles. The only notable aspect is the secret rebellion that didn't receive solid attention until the finale. Manly focused on school life or knight training that is not blended well. Along with introducing people to inconstantly with not showing up until later episodes. With only Sophia and the other three boys. The written revelation of the rebellion is poor, and the motivation is dull. Leading to a very confusing and uninteresting story that makes no sense.
Overall (2): It's a below-average show with fantasy romantic elements. That's written on anime over and over again. Looking quite mediocre compared to others in the genre, it leads to confusion and dull anime within the fantasy romance category.
Thanks for reading!
