So after watching all 12 eps I can safely say this

This was one heck of an anime, you this badass and extremely smart MC who has the balls to do everything. On his side he has a beautiful waifu ( mommy Ninym) an smart and outstanding waifu which is perfect for the MC. Both together make the perfect duo and with hints of romance it all stays spicy. Story and plot is so dam good. You can't expect anything because the MC is 200 IQ. Personally I was unable to get anything right. So many good plot twists that keep you in. Making you ...

This ‘The Genius Prince's Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt’ is fantastic in its story and characters. Even though its performance in art is anything but masterpiece, it is still a highly recommended anime.

The most significant advantage of this anime is that it provides Realistic political shows instead of the childish naive political claims which are often made in similar anime. Unlike other anime’s ‘Great Ideas’ or ‘Great Dreams’, like ‘that I will liberate all slaves’ or ‘that I will eliminate class barriers’, this anime’s political plots focus on small specific reachable political interests. Also, the character issues their political interests for realistic ...

This is your typical and average fantasy-comedy anime. Main character is a prince, that does everything perfectly despite not even trying aka the best student, the best war general, the hottest guy in the world and etc. Overall, it's pretty bland and mediocre, if you want to have something as a background noise - that's your choice.
Side characters are cardboards without a story who exist only to say how good and awesome the prince is. You have your typical brown hair little-sister, small-chest white haired waifu, big chest blond waifu, bunch of evil guys who's being shown for a few times and then died ...

It is surprisingly nice and pleasant to watch.

This is not an isekai (surprisingly), but an actual fantasy set in faux-medieval faux-euvropean setting. The art is nice. While the visuals are somewhat typical for modern anime, there's some character in art works, lines are soft, characters are pretty, and backgrounds are detailed. I haven't noticed any ugly CGs in this anime.

One thing that really stands out is the duo formed by male and female leads. Female lead has a very skilled voice actress, and together they create very entertaining banter, back and forth dialogue and so on. A lot of this title revolves around comedy, but ...

You have to have the right expectations for every show in order to enjoy it. If you come into this one expecting some super serious political masterpiece you'll be disappointed. But if you've read the "wants to sell his kingdom" part of the synopsis or seen the poster with the half-a-dozen waifus, you should already expect something lighter that pokes some fun of the political genre, along with other fantasy tropes like harems and such.

The "Genius Prince" part of the title is not to be taken literally. Sometimes he has his moments, but half the times the guy's plans fail - especially the ones about ...

Politics.

I sure do love politics. However, How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom leaned over towards philosophy and fantasy more than actual politics that would grip you harder than the funny owl in that one isolated corner in Deepwoken, and in its second season had continue to spat in my face some harem romance that I frankly did not care about (you see, I am here for the medieval politics).

Unlike Realist Hero, The Genius Prince's Guide to Utilizing Clairvoyance and Foresight to Beat Up Everyone Else But Still Having the Luck of Your Mother maintains a reasonable degree of political intrigue alongside a drama better ...

So, the fantasy 'nation building' genre is seeing a rise in popularity,
Obviously this is being compared to Realist Hero, but there are others than have also done this before, with many titles fading into obscurity (because they just weren't that good) leaving only a few rare standout names

This is (in my opinion) superior to Realist Hero, as it focuses on the politics, and on the military actions,

Politics is a dance, and as this shows, it often can involve several partners, you can not act unilaterally, as you have to consider what the other person will do, and even then, they may have their own ...

English: I see here an anime with an absurd potential, a relaxed and humorous scriptI honestly admit that I was a little scared by the opening of Universal, but I just believe that there will be a continuation
A season with the past in the gym would be a good idea (if it hasn't already)
You honestly can't deduce what he's going to do with the kingdom but it brings an extra taste to the anime
It deserves more than 7.5 but unfortunately the hole in the script can affect a lot, such as the forcing of some parts ...

This was very promising in the beginning. I thought I’d finally see a well made trash mc with ill intentions and can make me laugh. Unfortunately, his plans changed and he started doing things more seriously. It got too political and relationships in the anime didn’t matter anymore. It was just war after war after war, no stopping. His ideas and execution is good but there is no break whatsoever and it just gets kinda old. People compared it to [How a realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom] and said it was better but I personally think that one has a good storyline and things fell ...

There was some time when I see an anime not been smart or not but I can say for sure that this anime is smart and fun to watch.

Story: The strategy to beat other kingdoms with your kingdom and Try to think how can you outsmart them and outplay them. It gets a score of 10.

Art: It's a decent animation and I don't see anything wrong. It gets a score of 10.

Sound: It's a decent sound and I don't see anything wrong. It gets a score of 10

Character: They are funny and I love how they think about everything.

Enjoyment: I love when an anime tries ...

This anime is good. Its not bad, and it is no masterpiece, it is just good. I started watching this anime after seeing Muse Asia posting the episodes on their YouTube channel and I also found out that one of my fav Seiyuus is currently voicing one of the characters of this show(I am very sure you know who she is). At that time, I haven't started watching it yet. Instead, I went to mal to look for more info about this anime, since some animes aren't for everyone. As a person who really like fantasy and comedy, I decided to give this a shot. ...

A young prince and heir-apparent to the throne is viewed by all around him as being every bit as competent and reliable as is befitting of a kingdom's future king, but the prince has a secret that only his attendant knows: he wants absolutely nothing to do with the welfare of his kingdom, which is in the throes of poverty. Such is the premise of this show. The setting is a sort of medieval alternative-Europe, where there does not seem to be any magic to speak of and most problems are solved by quill, voice, or sword.

The writing is above average, but only marginally; many ...

This is my first review, so it might not be the most well thought out but please bear with me. So first of all I decided to give this series a 7/10 overall since it was actually quite enjoyable. But honestly speaking, I can also kind of understand why some people might hate this series. The general idea of the story - an incredibly talented prince unintentionally becoming an amazing leader for his country - is honestly not bad. Sure, it's not the most original idea in the world and there are plenty of other manga and light novels that have similar themes. But as ...

(Currently writing right after episode 8 premiered. I myself have not read either the light novel nor manga of this anime. Do take that into account when reading)

So far, this anime is actually really great. The main character (Wein) is a fairly likable character, as his personality is interesting yet not over the top. Because this MC has a 'genius' based personality, it's important to both keep him believable and realistic, while also finding a way to express his cleverness. Tensai Ouji is also directed as more of a comedy, which explains its high enjoyment rating from me. Tensai Ouji does an outstanding job of ...

Finally, after countless fantasy shows I can say I found one which is worthy to be my favorite in this genre. I really did not expect this from a comedy like show, but here we are. I found something what I was utterly enjoying. There is everything what I can ask for. Good characters, interesting and witty dialoges, ulterior motives, a lot of laughing, sudden seriousness and so on. I have to point out though that this show is only for those who enjoy to listen others speaking about politics, mostly in formal language. Some of these conversation are really worthy to chew on a ...

There's not much I can really say about this show. An intellectually overpowered character with waifu material constantly around him to casually show you how powerful he is....wow such show. It would have been nice if Wein, the lead protagonist, committed to what he set out to do in the beginning (which was likely the draw of the show for many), but...nah just 'accidently' build an empire (tee hee).

I don't remember anything particularly interesting about the show outside of some well endowed princess, so if that's your thing, you'll ignore much of what I just said and enjoy this show quite a lot. It ...

I usually don't like Feudal-Political shows, because most of the time i don't understand half of what is happening, and the twists are just ass-pulled plot devices. Tensai Ouji doesn't break from this. It also takes tropes and themes from other fantasy shows, like the classic OP protagonist. Most of the time, Wein explains what he is doing to a character that is as oblivious to the situation as we are, and then does something unexpected, and solves it brilliantly.

So what is good about this show? The fact that it is a comedy. Yes, the reason why Wein is going through so much stress ...

Currently on episode 7 and I can say this was a very good watch.

It may not be the best out there when it comes to the plot twists or the strategies because most of them were very simple/obvious and hence predictable.

The MC is not necessarily smart, his enemies are just pretty stupid tbh. However, I still appreciate that they're trying to showcase a 'smart' character in the series (tbh I'm just a sucker for such characters). I do acknowledge that the MC seems 'overpowered' and the events that are happening in the story literally just showcases him to be successful and every sht ...

First of all, i think civilization building or governance type animes is fun to watch.

This anime is similar to Realist hero but i think this better.

What makes it better that it just gives you the basics like realist hero S1 but it fell when S2 came around. This gives semi-not boring dialogue that not last for 2 episodes, has humour, and not straight to your face.

Story:
Likewise for a comedy anime, it doesn't really matter
Artwork:
The design of this anime is so gorgeous, no cap.

It could be better with a better animation and character writing. A solid 7.

When starting this series I thougth it would be a lighthearted comedy where the MC pulls ridiculous and absurd stunts completely by accident, which happen to save the kingdom he originally wanted to sell off. Instead I got an okay political(loosely) story with a compelling and complex(ish) plot with okay characters and semi-decent action.

The story and the writing are the heroes and saviors of this series. I enjoy the banter and dialog between the characters and there are nice and well executed plot twists here and there. At times it can ...
