Imagine this...you live in an ugly neon world where you're supposed to marry a prince who doesn't know the definition of a haircut, and no matter what you do, you can't escape him. Like a monster from a horror game, he'll always haunt you.

Seriously, though, what the heck is this show? It tries incredibly hard to romanticize a young woman getting locked away, gaslighted, and forced to marry a man who's done nothing but stalk her. Leticia, the female lead, wishes to live out her life according to her own dreams and aspirations. But that's quickly put to a halt when Clarke, the prince chases after her. A man who was just recently with another woman at a ball, now stalking her. What a great guy. Real marriage material right there.
Letica had finally just begun to live her life according to her own dreams rather than having to follow the awful lessons she had to endure to one day become queen, when she'd been stopped, to once again be controlled by someone else's dreams. And in this case, Clarke's dream of marrying her. She tries to escape over and over again, but no matter what, he won't let her go, to the point he locks her up.
What I really hate is how this is played up for laughs and is supposed to somehow be romantic. It's not. It's creepy. And yet all the characters in this show gaslight Letica into thinking she's the unreasonable one. It's ridiculous. That's basically the entire premise of the show. Poor Letica can't live her life because an ugly Prince demands she stay with him. A nightmare.
Oh goodness, do I dislike the animation for this anime. It's just so ugly looking. Everything is an obnoxiously bright color that it hurts to look at. I'm not watching Fruity Pebbles, I'm watching an anime. Along with that, the anime is full of bad-looking CGI. It just doesn't look good.

Just like how Letica wants to escape the Prince, I want to escape the memory of this anime. Along with the horrifying creature that is Prince Clarke. He needs to stop haunting my nightmares.
