Story: The plot is basically a ongoing war between two generic nations, with the black nation having a tyrannical king that doesn't give a sh1t for his nation. The white nation although isn't tyrannical, they are nonetheless boring as f*ck and are bias into thinking that being white is righteous. Though they learn that the people of the black nation are being forced into war. There is also no reason stating why the tyrannical king of darkness is going on a rampage, I swear if it's some bullsh*t stating that murder is justice or if it's something that appeases him, then I'm calling it quits

When you see the words "GAME adaptation", there are a list of catalysts in mind: decent story plot and characters from the game (that's if you ever played the game before), decent visuals and generally good music (because if you cannot sell the show, at least sell the music to make up the profit). And that's Shironeko Project in a nutshell, but with a sharp decline in almost every category. And unfortunately, most of what's here is total garbage and a waste of time and money (which the anime industry STILL hasn't learnt their lesson and kept it that way), unlike the boisterous amount of

Note: I watched this with no previous knowledge of the game that it is adapted from, only knew its adapted from a game. I am also judging this show as a 12 episode anime -- this means keeping in mind what 12 episodes can accomplish, and not expecting the depth, character development, writing and literary techniques that can be employed with 24 episode, or, what some people have shown to do, expect the standards of a 50 episode piece in 12 episodes.
Art: 6/10 It's nothing special. It isn't horrific, I've seen anime where the art was just bad. It isn't a masterpiece for its time, its ... Jun 26, 2020
Shironeko Project: Zero Chronicle is one of the most entertaining anime of the Spring 2020 season. It's not a good anime, and you'll only be met with disappointment if you expect otherwise. It's a very bad anime, and that's exactly what makes it worth watching. There's plenty of bad anime every season, but what sets this one apart from all of its contemporaries is the massive scope of its narrative, which makes its glorious failure of execution all the more brilliant.
This anime is a prequel to the 2014 mobile game Shironeko Project, hence the "Zero Chronicle", but that's not important. It's an entirely standalone ... May 4, 2020
First few episodes were kinda hit and miss, but I will say that this series has grown on me quite a lot. It's mainly down to the story if anything. Here is why!
The idea of light vs darkness is really interesting. Really is. It's the classic story of good vs evil, something that you might have seen so many times. It's done alright here, started off iffy, but really picked up as the episodes went on. As if there is a real feel of tension, that really adds more to the shows story in general. The characters...Some are alright, like they're not bad characters, but some ... Jun 22, 2020
If you have the free time to watch this anime, it is most likely a better use of your time to learn another language for those time than watching this anime. TLDR: for me, this was one of the worst series I have ever watched. (I have never given any series a rating of 1 until this anime).
Story: Somewhat overused setting. Princess and prince of dark and light trying to coexist, but they are constantly at war. You will understand the premise if you watch the first 5 minutes of this series. The pacing is bad, and the ending is super rushed. If this series cut ... May 5, 2020
STORY: I can only grasp the basis of this story. Four episodes in and there's nothing, except character introduction. I do understand the concept of "Light" and "Dark"; "Sky" and "Earth", but giving us the concept does not lead to a potential good story. This is either a very generic war and love story, or we are just at the beginning of something nice. Either way, it's not catching attention on any of the viewers.
The art is decent and the characters look good. They have potential to be likable. I find it really lovely that they are showing us ten minutes of background every ... Jun 23, 2020
This anime made me come back to this website after 5 years of inactivity.
I'm only writing this review because the first Half of the Anime was OK although completely blasted with Cliche's. After EP 6-8 everything just turns to complete bull. I don't know what the creators thought they where doing, but I'm sure it was based on a story where they had to cut out like 75% of the content. And you can clearly feel that while watching. This Anime goes from Adventure to Politics to Slice of Life to Apocalyptic Scenarios and Tragedy in the span of 1 Episode and not in a good way... Animation ... May 10, 2020
This review may contain spoilers!!!:
*Story:The plot seems to be the most unoriginal Goddess clan vs demon clan. Oh i mean the original and so interresting kingdom of white vs the kingdom of darkness where the two kigdoms are at war but they stopped fighting and made an alliance to defeat this op character named "bahl"(Which is probably the worst anime character i saw in 2020).And this plot seems to be building up for a romance sub-plot between the two nations rulers. 5 episodes in and the anime has no relation with the synopsis written on MAL, and tbh, i don't know and i can't predict where the ...

This was the WORST anime i have ever seen, i can’t comprehend what the hell they were thinking when they made this. And the ending, THAT was the kicker, worst and most pointless 12 episodes to ever exist. If you’re thinkIn about watching it, prepare to be disappointed. I LITERALLY MADE AND ACCOUNT ON THIS SITE JUST SO I COULD ROAST THIS ANIME, IT WAS THAT BAD LIKE COME ON WTF. IVE NEVER DONE THIS TO ANY OTHER ANIME AND I PROBABLY WON’T DO IT AGAIN BECAUSE NOT MUCH COULD TOP THIS CRAP STAIN OF A SHOW. OH MY GOD!!!
Jun 22, 2020
THIS ANIME WAS PRETTY.... Fine... I guess?
Ok lets start off with Story. For this ill split this part into two the story building(+the first half) and the end(the second half). The story building was pretty good as someone who likes to dream about living in immersive worlds I could enjoy the world the author originally made. I also really enjoyed the plot of both sides coming together to work and defeat Bal, the generic evil for fun character. I also really appreciated the story behind the Prince of Darkness in which he was born in a ... Jun 26, 2020
Black and white, is this called a chessboard?
The beginning of the story begins when a village is attacked by monsters, which eventually kill everyone there. Then there was a young man who managed to escape from the monster's attack. The young man meets the Dark King as he buries all the villagers killed by the monster. After the conversation with the Dark King he was near death, finally the young man inherited a sword belonging to the Dark King who made him the successor of the Prince of Darkness. On the other, Princess of Light, Iris is fighting the Dark Army in ... Sep 26, 2021
Another POS anime with a horrible ending!!!
Even if the game, manga or w/e did not have a decisive ending why can't they at least make a decent ending for the anime?!!! WTH.. lets leave the viewers hanging with no clear clear hint of what to really expect! This is so bad there will probably be no season 2! It's just so infuriating to watch an anime hoping for a good ending or at least a decent conclusion!! But no they have to screw it up & end with a person just floating and laughing like a lunatic! The worst part was the ending!!!! Again, WTH, REALLY???!!no conclusive ending!! THANKS A LOT, ... Jun 21, 2020
Story: The Story is about two kingdoms - The White and Black Kingdom. According to the lore, they have always been fighting with themselves again and again and again, with no end and it seems the White Kingdom always get the goods while the people of the Kingdom mostly suffer. At least, that's what the anime tells us. Based on what I've learned, this is based on a game which they say "has a good story." The only problem with the anime, is that no matter how good the story is, the way it was directed was truly unsightly. Nevertheless, I do want to know

Right. I'm going to try and keep this short and sweet. This show and or presumably the manga, (If there is one, I haven't bothered to waste my time checking), is so infuriatingly boring. They had something that could have been so much more, a story about an underdog rising up who's people are seen as the villains of the world. Instead we get a cookie cutter bullshit Romeo and Juliet story with boring and or obnoxiously intolerable characters.
Not only did I have very little interested in this show, all of the interested and any hope of this show being decent that I may ... Apr 4, 2021
The only way to summarize this anime is a waste of time - as a viewer you will garner absolutely nothing from this awful series.
I was drawn to watch this because of the beautiful art - the artists have really done an incredible job and it is a shame that their efforts have been put into a terrible script. As for the story - almost immediately you are disoriented wondering 'what is going on', as characters are very poorly introduced. This confusion is not resolved, only worsened as the story progresses. We are led to believe there is a war and two nations who have a ... Jun 25, 2020
If I had stopped watching this show after the first ten episodes I would have called it a fun, easy to watch show. In no means great, but just some simple popcorn entertainment on the same level as Wise Man's Grandson. However, the last two episodes go 'F*ck it', do a total 180 and just ruin the whole show. Nothing about it fits. The tone is completely off, the character choices make no fucking sense based off of everything we've seen so far, they bring someone back from the dead and completely change his character, and one of the peace-loving characters that you're supposed to

Honestly, if you're on the fence and aren't sure because of the top reviews and rating, give it a shot anyways. People ripped this series a new one, and it was already on my list to watch, so I just binged it. I don't regret it at all!
This series gave a great foundation to the plot for the first half, and then was fast-paced in the 2nd half, as is typical in a 12-13 episode series. However, I felt the build-up and twists that come in the second half are really not that bad. If you think back on the story and how each action ... Jun 14, 2020
Honestly, till now it feels like absolute garbage...like real garbage.
The story is way too slow and they haven't even introduced the fucking MC. Literally the viewers don't even know his name...How can you even forget to introduce the main character of the story, it's like the most important thing. During the whole series he's addressed as "Your highness", "His highness","You". Like WTF?. I wanna know his name. Enough of ranting I guess. The story progresses way too slow and most of the episodes have no meaning to them, it's as if the creators are just passing time. After the 3rd or the 4th episode the main character ... Nov 11, 2023
I've never written an anime review before, so let that tell you something right off the bat, this anime was so horrible that I feel compelled to write a short review to warn anyone who may be interested in watching this absolute garbage.
I'll keep it short: The plot is all over the place, the story is brutal, the characters come and go and their motivations are shallow at best and make literally no sense at worst and this is by FAR the worst ending I've ever witnessed in all my 400 ish series I've completed. That is all, this is absolute trash and I wish ... |
