King's Raid: Ishi wo Tsugumono-tachi

At this point, I think only a few of us actually got through all 26 episodes of King’s Raid. I for one, don’t regret a single moment of it.

Yes, King’s Raid is a pretty generic fantasy gacha game adaptation that does absolutely nothing game changing or innovative. Yes, there’s plenty of better shows out there. No, that doesn’t mean I didn’t like it. In fact, I loved King’s Raid. It is a slow burn over the 2-cours span that it runs, but once it gets going, I found it to be very entertaining. For context, when I watch anime, I usually multi-task by farming ... FGO or other gacha, KR was one of the only shows in the past two seasons that actually held my interest long enough for me to put my phone down and fully lock in.

Despite the generic set up of a chosen heir to the throne going on a quest with his standard JRPG party to defeat a demon lord, I thought Kasel and RIheeto’s juxtaposition as duel protagonists was well done. In fact, by the end of the show I was feeling much more sympathetic towards the secondary protag than the main guy. The dynamic between both of the MCs and their parties was really fun to compare and contrast over the course of the anime. The studio aids with that by alternating perspectives every episode. I also liked the mystery down the stretch with unravelling Kasel and RIheeto’s pasts. It seemed like the studio knew exactly when to end episodes to leave you on the edge of your seat wanting more.

Due to its nature as a gacha game adapdation, as you’d expect the animation is meh at best throughout much of the show. For the vast majority of the 26 episodes it’s pretty average. I’d put it above Hortensia Saga, but well below the likes of Priconne or even the Gran Blue anime. The art is REALLY nice and was actually one of the big reasons I liked this show. It has this really glossy look that makes the characters shine a lot and really makes the waifus in the show pop out.

I probably wouldn’t recommend King’s Raid to most people, not because it isn’t good to me, but because it probably would be boring and uninspiring to others. I think for most people, there’s more enjoyable ways to spend 8 hours. That said, I’ll never apologise for liking what I like and finding something to be entertaining. King’s Raid gets 8 holy swords out of 10.

Even though the story is different from the game, it's very enjoyable. Sure some scene and episodes can come off boring, but it's really not bad. The characters are still amazing as their game counterparts, the new characters are enjoyable.

To me, this anime gives me something new and fresh from what I usually watch. It's got what you look for in a fantasy, action anime, maybe not everything but most of it. I highly recommend you give this a watch and give it at least half way through before knowing how you feel. That's how you'll get the full experience.

As a person who get through 26 Ep with recap included, Kings Raid is a quite jolly good show. As my Uncle once said "keep stupidly simple, but worked" fit perfectly within this show.

YES, The show sometime gets boring because sometimes they bring the story in a slow-calm pace, but it still Action-packed tho.
AND YES, this show is not Epic as others, But a relatively simple happy-end story is what make King's Raid shine the best.

As for Art, well its not the best, But its considered good and well made tho (trust me, i have seen art dat even worse than anything ... you could imagine XD)

For sound, they done a gud decent job for bringing ambience to life in this show

Charaters, They created with simple quirks and developed as it should in RPG type of story (generic type). Nothing overlap with the plot bcuz every each one of them had Problems and Reasons just like human irl do. i meann, People make mistake and learn from it, sometime once twice or more. DAT is How Char Dev Works. Its Fine as long as his development synergize with the plot & story.

As you know im not very familiar with its game, music, colab and what-so-ever, but i tell you dat this one is gud damn fine Anime (yes , like i said "just fine" no less no more). I ENJOY king's raid as a fantasy anime with classic RPG style story.

Overal, Some would watch and gib neutral or gud review with critics, AND some drop half way and gib not just bad review but also a tantrum. but i tell you, sometimes ppl in MAL tend to give Harsh Number on a good or fine art without considering detailed Content Value.
AS a person who watch anime on a whim to pass time in his busy but boring life, i would say this show is quite FINE WITH GOOD AFTER TASTE.

I would give this series a 8, (normally its a 7 but considering harsh number dat ppl give.)


I WOULD recommend this show to people on this term :
1. there are nothing worthwhile to watch
2. Those who yearn a generic and simple RPG set
3. Fantasy theme
4. Easy to understand and slow pace
5. Something lightly to kill time

But to be honest i wouldn't Re-watching this show again EXCEPT if there's a Sequel toit

(Ex: like Shingeki no Bahamuts)

Well, we're almost done with this series. I did enjoy the series, and I love the game (if you haven't played King's Raid, do so now, as at the time of this review, which is May 12 of 2021, the game is having its 3rd Anniversary, which will give you a ton of freebies), but this is one of those series that I find somewhat enjoyable in spite of its flaws.

Story: I'll give it a 5.
The pacing is extremely uneven, and at the beginning the dark elves are even more interesting as characters than Kasel and friends, but after Episode 15 it improves significantly. Kasel ... and friends stop being a bore to watch, people start dying left and right, and the series drops all the previous goofiness. Also, Kasel grows a spine.

Art: 7
A few off-model moments, and the colour pallette is too bright and cheery for the kind of story this is. Or at least the game was darker and edgier than the anime.
The character design is decent. It at least makes more sense than the overly exaggerated 3D in game models. The anime, however, is lacking on the tremendous amount of fanservice that the game has.

Sound: 10
Hoo boy! That Dreamcatcher opening...
The OP/ED are wonderful, and the ambient music is also good. This at least doesn't fail. Also, the in-game music is featured every now and then.

Character: 7
My only gripe is that my favourite character (Artemia) is missing in this adaptation, and Theo and Jane are grossly underused, only having a few brief apparitions and leaving through exit stage left (which is sad, but a necessary evil, as their romance is a very iconic ship within the fandom but it would have become a romantic tumour in the plot).
Other than that, in spite of how boring was to see Kasel and friends do their own plotline (and how exciting it was to watch Riheet, Ripine and the other Dark Elves), as I said, Character Development actually kicks in on the second half of the series, when the characters stop being boring.

Enjoyment: 7
We could have gotten rid of all of the filler episodes and we would have gotten a solid anime series. What in my opinion ruined it the most is how during the first half we had Kasel and friends fighting for their protagonism against the Dark Elves of Black Edge, and during this first half the latter actually had better character development and were way more sympathetic. But after the next half the protagonism is handed back to Kasel and friends, and that's when the plot actually picks up and they start showing personality.

Overall: I'll give it a 7.
Hopefully, once the series is done, we will be on for a treat on the final chapters.

Review of kings raid anime episode 26:

Its now the last episode, episode 26, and its good! a happy ending at least, even if the fight was fierce, tho begins another journey just right after they defeated the demon king.. and even if things have settled in that country, there is another place or country that needs saving, which is what the holy sword has let kasel sense.. and a hint for a season 2, if there may be one.. i think that the princess will have many things to sort, as well as riheet, since there are still others who bear so much hate ... towards each other.. even tho many people are good at heart.. and yet another thing, is the revival of riheets sister?! Damn these cliffhangers.. haha.. the anime overall is good btw.. anyways, i rate the anime 4.5 out of 5, 4.5 for both story and art.. 🙂

Overall a good series, the characters were satisfactory enough if not excellent. Kassel does become stronger as he and his companions continued on their journey to find the holy sword and to vanquish the dark lord Angmund. There’s also the added story of the dark elves, and the persecution they have faced at the hands of Kassel’s kingdom Orvelia. Riheet the dark elf leader has lost all of his comrades, yet in the end he chooses to help Princess Scarlet in her quest to help Kassel. I wish there was a little more romance in this series rather than just friendship ... though.

I have a few unanswered questions of my own, feel free to comment on them.

1.) Will Kassel and Frey ever become a romantic couple in the near future, and maybe start a family of their own?

2.). Kassel can’t wander around forever he’s gonna need to settle down someday, am I correct?

3.). Who will Princess Scarlet take as either her Prince or at least a Prince Consort I wonder?

4.). Scarlet is going to need to have heirs to carry on the Royal line, so who will she become romantically involved with someday, any thoughts?

I didnt play the game just watched the show and it starts off kinda boring but when you get to ep 7-10 it started to get better for me anyway. The action starts to pick up but i dont see why theres so many bad reviews im pretty picky when it comes to anime i have over 100+ tabs open on my phone of shows i havent finished or started and this one caught my eye after a few episodes. If you get to episode 8 and dont like it then its not for you. Its your typical adventure, dark lord, hero party that has ... to find a sword to save the world and its animated really well compared to ningen fushin a similar type of anime but compared to that kings raids animation is god tier and people have ningen fushin rated higher lmfao wtf is wrong with people ningen fushins action scenes are literally still images of the characters in a single pose with a knife in the air while png goblins are flying by thats every action scene in that show still png images with the background moving around the characters.
