Sinopse:
In the kingdom of Girtonia, the Adenauer family has been giving birth to saints for centuries. Two sisters form the newest generation of holy women who protect the lands from monsters and calamities. The eldest, Philia, is considered a prodigy in the field, capable of solving any problem in no time. Meanwhile, the youngest, Mia, is not as extraordinary as her older sister but has charmed the entire country with her lovely personality. Despite their striking differences, Philia and Mia share an unbreakable bond.
Sadly, Mia is the only person who truly cares for Philia. Because of Philia's expressionless face and aloof demeanor, their parents always scold her, and the citizens complain about her. Moreover, Julius Girtonia, the second prince and Philia's fiancé, would rather have a more amicable girl as his wife-to-be. For that reason, he cancels the engagement and sells Philia off to the neighboring kingdom, Parnacorta, which has recently lost its own saint.
Having no say on the matter, Philia immediately goes to serve Parnacorta. As a foreigner, she presumes that she will not be treated much better than in Girtonia. Contrary to her expectations, Philia might have finally found a place with people worth smiling for.

"The Too-Perfect Saint" is an amazing anime — with an overall mediocre ending. I’d honestly say it’s one of the best of the Spring 2025 season too. Now, when I say “mediocre ending,” I’m mainly talking about the last two episodes. They just weren’t on the same level as the rest of the anime, not even close. I won’t spoil anything, but the show was hitting it out of the park every episode — until those last two. I didn’t feel nearly as drawn in, and they lacked the energy and impact the rest of the series had. That said, does it ruin the anime? Absolutely not.I’d still wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone. If you’ve got the time, it’s definitely worth going out of your way to watch.
Now that that’s out of the way — yes, the anime is full of clichés and familiar tropes. But it handles them well, with enough respect and self-awareness that they don’t feel lazy, out of nowhere, or cringey. It doesn’t try to reinvent the genre, but it does know what it's doing. Also, if you're watching for romance, you should know it’s not super prominent early on. Most of the romantic development starts to pick up in the last six episodes or so.
Really, beyond the ending, I don’t have much to complain about. There’s nothing else that stands out as a major flaw to me.
So yeah — watch it.

after-credits
Getting dumped for being too perfect is a ridiculous idea—until it suddenly hits. That’s what sets the tone for this show. Philia, the saint of Ziltonia, does everything right. She heals, she protects, she serves without fail. And still, it’s not enough. She's called unlovable and sold off to another kingdom like a political bargaining chip. From there, things could’ve easily turned into edgy revenge or drama overload. But that’s not where this story goes. And honestly, that’s what makes it special. Philia doesn’t throw fits or plot revenge. She just keeps moving. Not out of apathy, but because that’s the only way she knows howto exist. Duty has been her entire identity for so long that even her emotions feel muted. And watching that change—gradually—is half the appeal. Her time in Parnacorta doesn’t magically fix everything. But little by little, people treat her like someone worth more than her title. It’s subtle, it’s slow, and it feels earned.
Then there’s Mia, her younger sister, who ends up being one of the strongest parts of the whole story. What starts as a supporting role grows into something much bigger. Her frustration, her loyalty, the way she takes on the political mess Philia left behind—it all adds real weight. Honestly, the whole cast works well, but Mia in particular leaves an impression.
The romance, thankfully, isn’t rushed. Oswald doesn’t swoop in and “save” Philia. He just gives her space, and time, and a bit of warmth. That’s all she really needed.
Visually, it’s clean. Nothing flashy, but everything looks right. Calm color schemes, elegant animation choices, and just enough atmosphere to let the emotional parts land without being overdone. Same goes for the music—nothing that’ll get stuck in your head, but it fits the vibe perfectly.
It’s not a groundbreaking story. But it doesn’t have to be. What it is—quiet, patient, emotionally satisfying—is more than enough. And by the end, there's this feeling that things are only just starting for Philia.
Would love to see more of her journey if a second season ever happens.

"Listen here, kid, let me tell you about this gem of a show! You know those stories where the perfect girl gets thrown away like yesterday's newspaper? Yeah, well this one,hoo boy,this one does it different, and let me tell you why it's got me all fired up! So we got this saint, Philia, right? Does everything by the book,heals the sick, protects the kingdom, the whole shebang. And what's her reward? They call her "unlovable" (can you believe that nonsense?) and ship her off to another kingdom like some unwanted furniture! The absolute gall of these people! Now most shows would have her go full vengeancemode or drown in a pool of tears, but not our Philia! She just... keeps doing her thing. Not because she's heartless, no sir,but because she's been playing the perfect saint so long, she forgot how to be anything else. It's like watching someone try to take off armor they've worn for twenty years,kinda painful, but fascinating too, you know?
But here's where it gets good! Over in Parnacorta, people start treating her like... well, like a human being for once! And watching her slowly realize she's allowed to have wants? To have feelings? Kid, I was leaning so far forward in my chair I nearly fell off!
And don't get me started on Mia,that spitfire of a sister! Starts off as window dressing, ends up stealing every scene she's in! The way she fights for Philia's honor back home? Now that's what I call family loyalty! Makes me wish I had a sister like that back in the day!
The romance? Finally a love interest with some sense! Oswald doesn't come barging in like some show-off in a shiny suit,no sir,he just... stands there being decent. Gives her space, doesn't push. Just quietly proves she's worth more than her title. Now that's how you write a proper gentleman!
Visually? Solid as an oak tree. Nothing too flashy, but everything's right where it should be. Colors like a calm sunset, animation smooth as good whiskey. And the music? Doesn't blast your eardrums out,just sits there, doing its job perfectly. Like a well-oiled pocket watch!
Is it perfect? Hell no, nothing is! But it's got more heart than most of those loud, flashy shows trying too hard to be clever. This one? It's like that quiet old guy at the bar who turns out to have the best stories,doesn't need to shout to get your attention.
Now when are they making season two? I need to see what Philia does next! Maybe she'll take up fishing! Or start a bakery! The woman deserves some hobbies, damn it!

In short, it was okay—not great, not terrible—just somewhere in the middle. The story itself was quite interesting, but I came into this expecting romance, and unfortunately, that just wasn't the focus. Because of that, the experience felt a bit bland to me, though I can see how others might enjoy it more. The music was serviceable but forgettable—not something I'd revisit. The animation and action scenes were decent and visually inoffensive, nothing groundbreaking but nothing jarring either. What really got to me was the constant tension caused by the worldbuilding; the rules of the universe posed a lot of potential danger for the main character,and that kept me anxious throughout. Thankfully, the narrative didn’t push things to a tragic extreme.
That said, the ending felt incredibly rushed—like the creators were in a hurry to catch a train. Given the way things wrapped up, I doubt there will be a second season; it seems like a self-contained story.
Overall, it was a one-time watch for me—an experience I’ll likely forget soon enough.

Kanpekiseijo was one of my favourite shows of the season. I’m a sucker for emotionally repressed and abused characters developing emotions and realizing they deserve to be loved. It’s kind of a cheap way to illicit an emotional response, but hey it works for me. I went through a gambit of emotions watching this from anger at seeing someone as kind and thoughtful as Philia being abused for the simple crime of existing, despite all her contributions to the kingdom she’s only seen as fodder, to straight up crying with some of the big set pieces. While not a shojosei technically because it’s a LN,it has a lot of those tropes and storybeats which I enjoyed. If you’re a fan of badass female characters who are calculating and methodical, you’ll enjoy this.
What makes this series especially good is the revenge plot that’s the central theme of the series. While Philia is sold off to another country and starts to see all the things she was missing out on in life, her sister plans to get revenge on the prince that wronged her. Honestly, at times I felt like Mia was more of the MC in this series. She commands attention in every scene she’s in and frankly her plotline was more interesting than Philia’s. That’s not to say I don’t love seeing Philia grow as a person and be treated well after years of abuse, but seeing a character methodically planning their revenge and putting on the acting performance of the year to avoid suspicion was just really fun. I’m a huge house of the dragon fan so I saw a lot of similarities there in terms of how Mia plays things. On the other side, again, I did like seeing Philia’s relationship with the other characters, especially the prince, developing. She’s such a sweetheart and deserves the world.
Like most seasonals these days, this felt like a prologue for the actual story and an invitation to read more. I got a lot of the same vibes I had from Saint’s Magic is omnipotent with this one so if you’re a fan of that, you’ll probably enjoy this too. The romance is probably weaker here though because we have a split narrative with two leads essentially. Still, it’s an enjoyable watch with some really pretty art and character designs, nice character interactions and a solid enough story. I would love to rate it even higher, but I just felt like this was an appetiser for the real story to come and outside of the Julius/Mia revenge plot and a couple twists I thought the story here was.. solid, not great, but solid. Still, I enjoyed it a lot and am going to miss my girls Philia and Mia so much! Checking out the books for sure
Kanpekiseijo gets 8 out of 10
Soulwarfare
The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom plays into the familiar trope of an overpowered character whose talents go unrecognized. Cast out of their homeland, they find true happiness elsewhere, while the original kingdom suffers for not appreciating them. You’ve probably seen this storyline countless times, so much of the anime won’t feel particularly fresh. What sets this one apart, however, is the addition of the protagonist Philia’s younger sister, Mia. Normally in these types of stories, the little sister either contributes to the main character’s misery or is left on the sidelines. Here, Mia is neither, she’s central tothe narrative.
Mia essentially serves as the series’ second protagonist, and her storyline is by far the most compelling. Her arc centers on seeking revenge against those responsible for her sister’s suffering while also working to protect the kingdom from looming threats. The suspense and tension in her plot are genuinely engaging, as we watch her carefully plan, manipulate, and grow. In fact, she undergoes the strongest character development in the series, evolving from a cheerful, trusting saint into a capable, determined one.
The production values are solid as well. The art is pleasant and the character designs are appealing. The opening and ending themes are also memorable, especially "Ai toka." by Riria, with visuals that complement the music beautifully, particularly in the ending sequence.
Unfortunately, this is where the praise ends. Although Philia is technically the main character, her storyline pales in comparison to Mia’s. After being sold to another kingdom, Philia struggles with the fact that everyone there in the new Kingdom likes her, forcing her to confront emotions and learn how to love. Unfortunately, this well-worn arc isn’t executed effectively, largely because her screen time is split with Mia’s. As a result, her romance with Prince Oswald feels rushed and unconvincing, lacking the buildup necessary to make their relationship believable.
The pacing problems become especially glaring in the final few episodes. A major threat is suddenly introduced and then resolved with little buildup, creating a rushed and underwhelming conclusion.
The series also teases some interesting world-building elements: the exorcists and the Church, the community of saints, the demons, and even hints at other kingdoms. But none of these are explored in any meaningful way. For example, an exorcist appears midway through the series, but the show barely explains their role and how their group operates. What qualifies someone to become a saint? How does the saint community function? What do other kingdoms think of the demon threat? None of these questions are answered.
In the end, The Too-Perfect Saint isn’t terrible, but it isn’t memorable either. It doesn’t reinvent the genre, nor does it fully capitalize on its potential. While Mia’s storyline is strong enough to carry the show to some degree, the rest of the series settles for generic execution of tired tropes. There’s enjoyment to be found here, but it’s not an anime you’re likely to remember for long.

The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom - Is there a price for perfection? If so, how much of it is sacrificial? "You can tell more about a person by what people say about you than by what others say about him." This quote about human integrity rings ever so true, given how we're so sucker-punched into stories of blatant negligence that can lead to either results of life's redemption or long-term karma, because let's be honest, as "intelligent" as we humans can try to read one another like pseudo-psychics, there's no one predictable way of ever knowing how thepeople around us will act. This is exactly the case for rookie novelist Kouki Fuyutsuki with her very first work here: Kanpekisugite Kawaige ga Nai to Konyaku Haki sareta Seijo wa Ringoku ni Urareru a.k.a The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom, a pseudo "kicked/banished out of the hero's party"-esque simple plot with a story that some might call predictable, but it works, and that's what matters the most.
If you're the type to associate yourself with being a fan of Disney's Princess series stories, Kanpeki Seijo will surely have nuances that "maketh the magic happen," because it's a tried-and-true formula that has proven great time and time again. The story goes off of a young woman by the name of Philia Adenuaer, serving as a saint for the kingdom she's assigned to: Girtonia. Her stoic but benevolent nature easily gets the attention of the townsfolk, who've seen her miracles happen time and time again, always giving thanks to the emotionless but compassionate young woman who sees her Saint job as one she's duty-bound to prove her competence in. Well, that's until her betrothed, the kingdom's 2nd Prince Julius, chooses to boot her out of the kingdom to serve another kingdom, finally giving him the chance to run the kingdom on his two feet...except that he's anything but a just prince: evil, selfish, petty, and a manchild at that for making rash decisions that slowly concoct the recipe of destruction for Girtonia. With minor retaliation on her part, Philia makes her way to the neighbouring kingdom of Parnacorta, which has recently lost its Saint, and she's there to fill in the gap.
Little did Philia know that her style of overwork has never caused her to relapse, not even for a day, as her saintly duties make her the robotic Saint who seeks to fulfill the wishes of her own people and not relinquish her responsibility. That's how (un)appealing the former Saint of Girtonia is as a main character, who goes around like nobody's business just doing things as she sees fit and earning the compassion of the people, regarding them and not herself. This may look selfless, but as humans, we could all afford to be a little selfish, and Philia, simply put, she's always taken advantage of for her impressive magic abilities, without a shadow of a doubt. Compare her with her younger sister, Mia, and you'll find an even better story to find there, as her revenge-seeking plot against Julius for banishing her out of Girtonia, mixed in with the burden she's had to fill in from her older sister as a less experienced Saint, shows a part of what seems like a broken family tree that does not just involve the sisters alone. And as the story progresses, the case of the Adenauer family is nastier than you'd realize, as it's filled with one of unmet expectations that beset the nature of betrayal that both Mia and Philia need not go through, but the author puts the nuance there to add some drama to an otherwise predictable story and premise.
For sure, Kanpeki Seijo wants you to realize that the characters play the biggest role in the make-or-break sequences, as even the minor interactions can prove critical to the role at hand. Take the royal family of Parnacorta, for example: with the loss of their kingdom's Saint, both 1st Prince Reichardt and 2nd Prince Osvalt were on the lookout for another Saint, and the misfortune of Julius' booting gives their land a new Saint's blessing in disguise, though it's up to the latter prince to help refocus the emotionless and robotic Saint to gather her thoughts that she doesn't need to work this hard and to start placing trust in others as they are. Bear in mind that this open nature is very foreign to Philia, and Osvalt is trying to help her by befriending her and opening up to live life to the fullest. It takes time for Philia to realize that all the "hard work" she's doing is not only for her own benefit but also for the benefit of the people who fervently support her in her new environment, to ensure that her efforts do not go unnoticed. And yes, as one of the main characters, it can be a hard pill to swallow, but eventually Philia does let loose of her control (except for stress-inducing circumstances when external factors threaten the safety of the kingdom). Again, since this is a fantasy romance Shoujo at heart, don't expect a radical story, just one that's down-to-earth in its simplicity so that the characters can run the race for the long term.
After the failure of Fall 2022's Shinobi no Ittoki, TROYCA's in-house director Shuu Watanabe looks set to redeem himself of the former's infamy as a show that's all plot and no substance, and thankfully Kanpeki Seijo delivered on that front, even if it isn't as hard-hitting as some would've thought for a cookie-cutter premise that just simply works. I need not say that TROYCA is one of a handful of studios with a healthy production cycle of no more than 1 show per year, and to the studio's testament, the production is unsurprisingly great with a reputation to match.
The music is plenty fine and doesn't stand out much so that the story can stretch its legs, which it does its job. Riria's OP and WON's ED are both good songs on their own with the Shoujo feeling attached to them, though I just find myself skipping them because they're just there and honestly don't add much to the allure of the anime as a whole.
At the end of the day, Kanpeki Seijo a.k.a The Too-Perfect Saint, is not just a promising work from a rookie author who chooses to play it safe with story elements that will resonate with people, but the anime definitely helps lean into what makes the source material compelling to begin with. Yes, the overarching story just feels begrudgingly basic, and that's the one pet peeve I have with shows that just don't try to be different, but if you just need a linear story where the "red thread of fate" always finds a way to fall into place, then Kanpeki Seijo may very well be the show for you.
The Saint who never smiled, may she don a smile for you to release the cold, burdenful heart.

Overall, I loved how the story went, the bond between sisters was very refreshing. I am so used to plots where one is evil - but I really appreciated this change. I also loved how the romance between the FL and the ML, were not the main focus of this series - but made it canon by the end of it. I fully recommend this anime to those who want a heartwarming and wholesome anime about family and friends - where the FL is used to the coldness of everyone around her, which made love and kindness become foreign to her - but slowly realizing thatshe can be loved. It was truly a satisfying anime to watch <3

I'm sure if you had to take a guess on what this show is about, you could probably guess (as most light novel adaptions seem to do nowadays), so I came into this series with a few expectations and opinions on what I thought it'd be about. Now, though the beginning events are predictable, after that I felt this series was quite unique and interesting. Firstly, animation was nice. The picture book-esque art style I feel is also a really nice touch for show. It was clean, well put together, and was overall visually appealing personally. So there's a plus + Next, the plot. Besides thebeginning, it was quite new I feel (for me anyways), and took a few turns I couldn't have expected nor seen and it was a fun experience. The end maybe was a little rushed and wrapped up a little too quickly but it's okay. I still enjoyed it. The end plot for the show may have been a little generic and quite stereotypical but I didn't think it really hurt it too much much.
Overall, it's not an amazing show but it's not bad at all. it's quite enjoyable to just sit and watch. It's also not too complicated to follow, so that I feel aided its delivery as well.

I'll keep it short. This anime was interesting in the beginning, but the end was very meh. Plus very cartoonish villains (dialogue, actions etc). The story is interesting, if not too simplistic. I'm not saying thats bad, just that I would've liked more. World-building also meh (same motive). Decent pacing ( until the last episodes, when I was waiting for it to be over already). The dialogue is ok-ish, with a lot of cringe lines when "evil people" are involved. Quite a few characters development but, again, just barely. The romance is there, but just barely, shy. Again, not a bad thing, but thats for whenyou have longer or multiple seasons. For now, you are left with only a taste of what the story might be about. If feels like they played it safe, everything is done in the right direction but not out of their comfort zone. The biggest "negative points" are: the dialogue and mannerism for the baddies, the cringe "too much" sugary acts of goodness from the people of Parnacorta. I know, I know, they wanted to make clear the differences between those two kingdoms and to be the reason as to why the saint changes. But it feels like a kind of story meant for the very young audience. Aka, kids/teen. The romance, the goodness, the villains... everything is done in a way to be enjoyed in a simpler manner. Again, not bad, just wasted potential. I'd say the sister saved this show. Extremely nice character arc (and VA). If this was done the same for all the other chars, well..... But nope. We got something simpler, with some decisions forced a certain way so that the plot goes the way it was intended. *sigh* Lets move on.
Very beautiful visuals. Thats what saves this anime. The art style is good, the color palette is good, the VFX are decent enough, at times even good. The designs are pretty much ok. The cinematography was ok most of the times, nothing fancy.
The audio. Again, decent/good. A decent enough soundtrack accompanies every episode, maybe mixed a bit louder than it should be, but most times you won't feel annoyed by it. Same for the diegetic sounds. But the OP is good. The song choice is in tune with the anime's theme and the cinematography for the visuals is very good. The ED song is decent/good, but the art style for the visuals is extremely beautiful. The VAs did a good job.
So, this is a "mixed feelings" with a rating of 6. This high rating mostly because of the visuals. Everything else is kinda going safe. You get a timid romance, a "timid" (tiny and safe) character development, acts on the extremes to show goodness or evilness. Yes, you might enjoy it, but the anime is not good enough for "recommended".
(Very fast: "I like this anime" is not the same with "this anime is good". Good is based on objective points as to why a trait is used in a right or a wrong way (the art style, pacing, script, vfx, sounds, directing etc). But you can enjoy media of lower quality (thats where "my guilty pleasure" comes from. You know it is bad, but for some reason you still enjoy it. And thats ok).
Return value? Dunno, don't think so. Maybe if there will be new seasons on the way, people will rewatch it. I won't, not even to refresh my memory what this was all about.
Have a lovely day.

I must say I found this anime today and binged all 12 episodes in one sitting. WOW just WOW when it comes to The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom as I expected one thing and got something else entirely. With most anime where the trope is the MC is betray or treated poorly and sent somewhere else only to be appreciated and learn the meaning of love, I was so SURPRISED with how well this story was put together from start to finish. It had the love story from My Happy Marriage, the Betrayal & Anger from ShieldHero, & the reincarnated aspect from well, every modern day isekai of an overpowered protagonist. I must say I half expected these themes to conflict with one another getting an unbalanced story but it was perfect. Every episode left me wanting more & SO GLAD I did not watch this as it came out! I LOVE binge watching good anime & this was one of them!
If you are truly looking for a wholesome love story similar to My Happy Marriage mixed with the slower life of being a saint in a fantasy world give The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom a watch as YOU won't regret it!

"Kanpekisugite Kawaige ga Nai to Konyaku Haki sareta Seijo wa Ringoku ni Urareru" This anime is one of those seasonal fantasy LN typr of anime that we have every season but this one in particular is indeed quite different. as the name suggests, the world is over-run by monsters and every country has a saint that purifies these monsters, quite standard story plot but the twist is that the MC is sold of to another country whose saint recently died, this anime's story might be misleading to people as they may thing it will be about how she is faring in the new country or howshe is helping them but ITS NOT AND THIS IS THE REASON I LOVE THIS ANIME......this anime showcases the results of the foolishness after selling of their saint and I love Philia's Little sister,
Minor spoilers
this anime will make you like the side characters more than the MC especially MIA her little sister she is like the main MC, her growth is the main aspect of the story She is the one that does 90% of things and she has more screentime than the MC, and I liked that, she is a character done right
Story: 9
story is basic but it will still make you feel like its fresh and especially the revenge plot.
Animation- 5
nothing much just ok
sound-7
this I didn't expect much but was alright like.....
conlusion-8
it was at the very least really satisfying.
Thanatos79
I kinda watch this just for the sole purpose of romance... but the romance is mostly a subplot in this show. The story mostly revolves around Philia and her sister Mia, rather than focusing on the relationship of Philia and Prince Oswald.I'm not really going to spoil anything since i really want people to experience this anime fully blind, since the plot twist is pretty good ,nothing shocking like aot type of plot twist,but still pretty unpredictable at the very least. What i like about this anime, however, is how Mia actually feels like a well-rounded character with her realizing her resolve after she witnessedthe truth. At first ,i thought she was going to be this generic sister that secretly holds a feeling of jealousy, but she's actually someone who has unique characteristics that are built upon by the author.
In conclusion, though, I would actually recommend this for someone who likes a mix of historical and revenge story. Just don't watch this with the expectation of a good romance because the crumbs and sweetness in this show are very mild.

🎬 The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom (2024) 👑 "Holiness has its limits—and perfection isn’t always rewarded." 📈 Overall Score: 7.6/10 📖 Story — 7.5/10 The anime starts strong with a compelling premise—a saint betrayed and exiled to a foreign kingdom. It sets up emotional depth and political intrigue, but doesn’t fully explore them. The story remains engaging, yet feels restrained when it comes to truly impactful or memorable moments. 🌀 Plot — 7.3/10 There’s a steady rhythm to the plot, and it maintains a sense of progression. However, the lack of meaningful romantic development leaves a noticeable gap, especially when the setup teasesit early on. It keeps your attention, but doesn’t quite deliver the emotional payoff you might hope for.
👥 Characters — 7.9/10
One of the stronger points. The characters are visually appealing and grow nicely over time. The protagonist is elegant and composed, and her interactions with others slowly reveal depth. Still, relationships—particularly romantic ones—feel like they’re holding back from something greater.
🎨 Visuals / Animation — 7.8/10
Soft, polished, and consistent. The art style complements the gentle fantasy tone, and while it’s not groundbreaking, it succeeds in expressing emotion through subtle character designs and background work.
🎵 Music / Audio — 7.4/10
The soundtrack supports the scenes well, even if it doesn’t leave a strong impression. Voice acting is solid and adds emotional nuance, but the music itself isn’t something you’d likely revisit.
🎯 Execution — 7.5/10
This anime delivers a clean, watchable experience. It doesn’t take risks, but it’s polished and easy to enjoy. There are moments of charm and subtle emotion, even if it doesn’t quite reach its full potential.
📌 The Too-Perfect Saint is a calm, bittersweet fantasy drama that’s easy to watch but hard to deeply connect with. It won’t blow you away, but if you enjoy soft-spoken characters, mild political intrigue, and restrained storytelling, this might just suit your taste.
A quiet story with gentle appeal—worth watching once. 🌿
CoffeeSoba
The plot is quite simple, but it's what makes me like it so much, for the fact that it has a plot. Yes, you can predict it quite early on, but it's still very well executed, and that's what made me stop so much from drawing to be locked into the show. I picked up the webnovel and was surprised to see the difference in the storyline of them both (they both end the same, it's just the middle that's changed). But I must say that I like the change of plot that was made. It's a very pleasant watch, and definitely a nice break from showswith a similar premise. There's no fan service or pushing romance, just a nice and well-paced plot.

This anime turned out to be a pleasant surprise and gave us one of the strongest female protagonists of the year. The main character truly shines with her grace, intelligence, and emotional strength, making her journey both compelling and empowering to watch. Her sister was also a wonderfully written character, and I really enjoyed the dynamic between them—it added a lot of warmth to the story. The plot was engaging and had the right mix of drama, emotion, and growth. The pacing felt just right, and I never felt bored. While the story followed some familiar tropes, the execution and character development made it stand out. Asfor Julius... let’s just say he’s one of those characters that made my blood boil. 😠😠
Overall, this anime left a strong impression on me. It’s definitely worth watching if you enjoy stories with powerful female leads and satisfying character arcs. Highly recommended!
Augustus_Asper
Very relaxing cute anime with truly mediocre story and most of the characters. You probably know it. Good guys are too good and bad guys ridiculously bad. The last episode was probably the weakest one because eveything truly important was already solved so the final boss and fight against him feels redundant, needless and empty. It makes story look like climax is missing. This anime is like morning sun or gentle touch on my cheek. Nothing extraordinary but I need such things in my life. Recommendation is kind of difficult. Try first two episodes, if you are charmed by protagonist and root for her everytime its animefor you. If you are not, you would waste your time here.

It had a good start, but it's all over the place honestly. The romance tag is misleading too, there's barely anything going on on that front. It was an okay fantasy, but it's really generic and nothing special about it, I haven't watched many fantasy series, so I can't really compare this to anything I've seen, but I know for a fact that any fantasy anime have more to it than this one. I mean across all the saints we've seen like 3-4 abilities in total, when it comes to fighting they all spam silver judgement, other than that they use a generic healing/shielding/zone ability, solackluster.
The plot is nothing crazy but enjoyable, and the characters are good, these things alone made this anime okay. Even then there's a bit of character development missing towards the end, it gradually slowed down as the anime progressed.
But really, what is this anime trying to do? It has a very generic and unoriginal fantasy theme, barely any romance going on despite having a romance tag, boring action, okay plot, good characters, but it just has no aim. There are like 3-4 subplots but none of them gets explored, it's a random mix of many things.
It could've been better, easily, but oh well.

I’m really going to miss Philia — I think I’ve become a fan of this type of character. The story isn’t the most unique, and some parts felt rushed or underdeveloped. Maybe it’s due to the anime adaptation, since I didn’t read the light novel. Still, I found it charming in its own way. If you enjoy romance with characters who go through personal growth and emotional changes, it’s worth watching. The characters aren’t deeply complex, but they have enough charm and flaws to keep things interesting. Their reactions felt natural, even in a fantasy setting. Philia especially stands out with her gentle and sincere personality. The artstyle is simple but suits the tone of the story — nothing flashy, but it gets the job done. And while the anime might not impress everyone, I think fans of soft romance and heartfelt stories will find something to enjoy here.
Also, the ending theme was way better than the opening — one more show added to my list for the ending alone.
