Hametsu no Oukoku

Bestowed with magic from God, witches worked to guide humanity toward progress, garnering adoration and fear alike from humans. However, times have since changed. With the advancement of scientific knowledge, humans now stand on an equal footing with witches. Determined to weave their own destinies and establish supremacy over the world, the mighty Redia Empire has ordered the extermination of all witches, which may bring the era of magic to an end.

Fleeing from the decree, the famed witch Chloe and her apprentice, Adonis, seek refuge. Hot on their heels, the Empire captures the duo and mercilessly executes Chloe. Agonized by the brutal murder of his master and the callousness of humans, Adonis vows to avenge Chloe by annihilating humanity with the very magic they intend to destroy.

This is a hidden gem that many people are missing out on. I know there many people in the community that hates everything about this anime but I don't think it deserve all the hate its getting. Yes the show is nothing special compared to the other great anime out there but thats the whole purpose of adapting this for the season. I think the anime did a fantastic job on the story imo I was hooked the whole time. I'm able to see the mc develop throughout the anime even if its a little for others.

The anime has a lot of gore as ... adonis gets busy throughout the anime for Chloe. Theres going to be parts that dosen't right with people or think this is boring. Me on the otherhand think there wasen't any bad parts about the anime and will be continuing from the manga. This anime was not meant to be the best in the season but to leave a impact showing that it is there to be watched and enjoyed.(I enjoyed it) No anime is going to be perfect even your favorite anime thats why skip over those parts to enjoys the bigger picture of what is entertaining us.

The animation is alright but its enough to get through 12 episdoes

charcters are very good and enjoyable to watch

world building is better than I thought as it adds many different areas to be traveled throughout the anime



Not the best anime but for underrated anime this is peak

Mixed Feelings

I had high-ish hopes for this anime, based on what I'd heard about the source material, a story about how violence only leads to more violence, and how forgiveness requires accepting loss, but was upset by what I saw as startling inconsistencies with the actions and spoken thoughts of the MC. At certain points he seemed to be some kind of 4-dim chess/tactical genius, but at others, his logic, was just incomprehensible. As for the FMC, she was annoying, but considerably more consistent in her character development (which they at least provided some justification for, near the end of the season), compared to MC. I ... think plenty of the "would-be-villain" characters were infinitely more interesting than the main ones. The music, particularly the OP, was easily the best thing about the series. I haven't read them myself, but I'm guessing the books are way better, so I'll just continue my journey there, as I don't have any hopes for a second season, especially after what I just sat through.

If you find yourself hate the society but still have the feeling of love for each other, you can watch this.

This anime is a type of gore with disturbing plot, but it's the reality we faced as a human. You will hate everything after watching this, but as Adonis said "Don't become someone like me". He still have heart left and so everyone else. You can become misanthropic but still cherish other people.

As for the plot, it's just disturbing from start to finish without really explaining what's the matter, what's the Queen really up to, and how witch can exists in that world. The magic ... power they use isn't really explained to the audience, what's they can and cannot do. How can they have a kind of "resurrection magic" but cannot have an effective healing magic? How can Doroka heal Adonis but not herself? It's doesn't make sense, that's why I give it 6/10 for the inconsistent magic abilities.
