Honoo no Alpenrose is a fairly predictable and by the numbers World Masterpiece Theater clone but that's not necessarily a bad thing since those shows were always pure , Had likeable characters and good moral lessons and this show is no different . I found myself invested in the first half of the story as the struggles the main couple faces and their search for answers amidst the WW2 setting were really interesting . Unfortunately the quality of this anime takes a massive nosedive after Judy resolves the situation at her home Before that the only downside to me was the amount of times they managedto escape from the comically over the top and almost Looney Tunes at times Nazi army because it clashed hard with how they portrayed them outside of those occasions . There's also 2-3 episodes that felt like nothing but filler but I would be able to overlook both problems if the final stretch didn't suck so badly
Beyond the show ending abruptly and never giving a proper send off to many of it's side characters , From out of nowhere a previous rather uninspired villain returns for no reason with a completely new motivation for his actions thus making the earlier conclusion in a previous episode feel utterly meaningless . Worst of all he gets a good ending despite never truly having a change of heart and only stopping because his plans were foiled
The first half and a bit more is worth it but the rest is just really bad with very few highlights like Tarantula for example . I was extremely disappointed

Alpenrose, Alpenrose~ this song is the best thing aside from the art can this anime offer. I didn't want to be harsh on a personally classic nostalgic show that I once thought it was great and even now I can't bring myself to rate it below 7 even though in reality it would be a mediocre 5 😅 Story: 3/10 + The story is really interesting and the setting is too but thr execution and show length made it a terrible mistake. - The plot has alot and I mean ALOT of stories and twists to tell for a 20 episodes show! If Alpenrose have been a 100 episodesanime I think it would have been a solid 9! Because the length of the episodes gives no room to do anything and the writers fill each episode with a new twist without even trying to solve the rest. Which ended up by solving everything through luck. Can you imagine how almost EVERYTHING that happens is pure luck! Characters get their motivations and dreams through luck too.
They always get away from danger through luck. They go out in broad daylight without wearing anytype of disguise and somwhow they are never captured even though they have posters with their face on all around cities!
Characters: 7/10
+ Here is the part where I I become biased. The characters are flipflop cookie cutter flat but I don't know why they are LOVABLE! I love all the gang and even the side characters thatshow up once or twice for a plot device and then disappear for internity.. like if they meant nothing just off with them and make more screentime to develop the stuffed plot!
- ON THE OTHER SIDE, when it comes to villains it's not the case at all. One of the biggest fails in the anime is Villains. They are wacky, cocky, good for nothing, disgusting, and inconsistent.
Art: 9/10
+ The art is really beautiful! Most of the characters have beautiful looks and hair! Always dressed neatly and nice. As of all the old classics Alpenrose's art is one of my favorites! It really ages well and the animation isn't as bad considering the age of it. It's obviously the main reason I rated the show so high.
Enjoyment: 6/10
+ The art and characters are a joy if you're into old anime shoujos.
+ the music was really nice and captivating. I loved the flute piece that Laundi and Judi play. Love the Alpeenrose~Alpenrose song, and of course whenever Leon plays anything.
- The stuffed undeveloped plot that makes it seem ss if the episodes have been truncated from 1.5 hours to 20min is somewhat hard to sit through.
- The discomfort we are left to feel after knowing Judi is 12 or younger with all the things that she goes through and does!
Recommend: Yes, if you're into old shoujo classic and appreciate the 80s art, want to enjoy the good music, and if you don't mind to fill in the gaps inbetween episodes.
No, if you want a worthy classic old shoujo, there are far better ones.
