Alexandros no Ketsudan

The whole show is revolving around a decision that Alexander the Great needs to make. Does he trust his friend? His friend is a half-Persian, and has aroused suspicion in previous situations for being so. But this friend has always proven to have Alexander's best intentions at heart. I like the moral conundrum here. It gives a history lesson at the same time, it also mentions Japan briefly which I found kind of funny (I guess with the Greco-Buddhist stuff it is kinda true that Alexander influenced Japan).

I appreciate how it looks at Alexander before he has accomplished all of the good things, and also ... how Aristotle is spitting facts and wisdom. It's still hard to comprehend that Alexander the god damn Great was tutored by the most important philosophy in history (in my humble opinion).

As hype as I'm making this OVA out to be, it's honestly kinda meh. Unless you have a passion for history it won't be particularly interesting. The animation is kinda creepy and weird, I can't put my finger on why, however. And the story isn't too deep or complex. I'm a history nerd but if I'm frank I'd give this a 6/10. It's decent.
