----------------------------------------
Man, this was so generic. War, heroes, action, monsters, destructions, etc.

It's like everything you can think of from a fantasy anime. Looks like the anime is giong to be focused on Nemo and his powers. I'm guessing the story will follow his story and how responsible he can be as a hero.

Going to give this a few more episodes but this was boring.

Being a South Korean Netmarble smartphone game, and yet another Liden Films production (dang Liden Films must be banking on game adaptations in recent times), I'm not too hopeful for this one.

Albeit the production quality is better than last season's Hortensia Saga, but the story plot itself is just the standard action-adventure magical fantasy we've seen rehashed umpteen times. First impressions, but not clouding my judgment first.

From what I can gather, this is going for the game's plot since the Seven Knights' cards as utilized by the main male MC Nemo with the protective female warrior Faria. A monster extermination fest for sure.

Pretty nice start for a game adaptation. Quite generic but I love stuff like this as a JRPG fan.

Characters seems likeable and the borrowed power concept is cool. The battle was pretty exciting. Animation was allright, visuals were nice. Liked both OP and ED. Looking forward to upcoming episodes.

It's a shame the protagonist here sucks so much. He's carved from the mold of bland dumbasses who stare blankly at everything. The kind who ask questions like "Why did you let yourself get slightly hurt saving a stranger from being torn apart by monsters? I just don't understand how anybody could not have a callous disregard for human lives unless you personally know them." If we had a protagonist like Vanishing Line's Sword or Rage of Bahamut's Favarro, things would be improved at least a dozenfold. It still wouldn't have the production strength of either of those, or even of its more closely related Chain Chronicle, but we wouldn't have to constantly be suffering his angsy milquetoast intentionally helpless bellyaching. Maybe he'll improve now that he has a dude living inside him that he can partially transform into, but he was a goddamned anchor on what would have otherwise been a decently action-packed episode.

Not that it'll blow people away either, or attract anybody who's not into fantasy adventure. It is a very action-focused episode, and doesn't embarrass itself by abusing stills or having characters spend half of it explaining their themed powers, but it's not going to make the highlight reels either. She has a glaive and shoots lightning. He has a grapple hook. They fight giant zombie monsters that bite people in half and turn them into more zombie monsters. The next episode promising that they're joining battle school was not a pleasant direction for the setting to move in though, but not an unusual one, albeit generally more for light novel things with this premise than gacha-based ones like this is. At least it seems to keep the action up. If it really does, and can introduce a plot with the basic setting stuff out of the way, it could be an okay enough fantasy thing. Or it could bog itself down in minutia, the protagonist remains terrible, and become a banal high school magical fight club thingy without the rampant fanservice of its light novel brethren.

OK start. Seems extremely generic and slightly less interesting than Hortensia Saga.

Watched the 1st Episode - First thoughts were Generic, artwork looks OK, then - it feels like another Hortensia Saga.

I'll give it the 3 episode drop test but I'm already thinking it'll end up being 5 or 6 out of 10.

Imagine putting out this generic game-oriented plot with this setting at the same season as 86.
no idea if the project lead are either mad or dumb.

Finally, a decent story, plot, powers and especially good animation without skipping the actions. I hope this won't turn out to be fast paced animation and ruins the quality of the story. The first is great and I hope to see more.

These are my types of story. What people mostly dislike from it being generic is the ones I like the most and I can say that this has the potential to be a good story, I would expect a 24-26 eps from this one... But maybe not.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Not sure what people are expecting from a generic fantasy mobile game's adaption. It's generic as expected but the animation and directing is above my expection. That was some really cool fights and probably can be considered in the top 10 great animation this season.

The characters are likable so far. The main char has lots of room to grow but I hope they can elaborate on his background. I mean, his home was jjst destroyed, we have no idea if he has family members died or not. I would feel very meh if next episode just focusing on him adapting to school and happily makes friends. Usually, what an mobile adaption lacks a lot is the inner drama.

Pretty disappointing first episodes, the main guy seems to be even more generic than generic shonen protags so yeah, that's going to be annoying, and how the other girl also treats the situation of a whole town being murdered like it's none of her business, idk, the main girl also looks super dense.

But some other characters looked cute from the Op/Ed, (and the Op isn't even bad), might try the 3 rule episode, but I'll probably drop it.

To be honest, I didn't know what to expect from this show and I only gave it a chance because of the voice cast. Even so, I'm glad I watched it. For now, the show has good action and I liked the relationship between Nemo and Faria, especially because Daiki Yamashita and Hibiku Yamamura have fine chemistry together. This show has a long way to go to be truly enjoyable, but it's off to a good start and I can't wait to see what happens next.

played seven Knights for quite a few years one of my first gachas never really followed the story but wish i could learn more about the characters more, but the time for that game kinda has ended so very confused on why they made a anime but whatever.

overall very Generic and way more violent(the hell lol), on top of that didn't really feel like anything i remembered i think this is taking from another seven knights game that has all the card student stuff and not the OG game.

will see how they do the actual seven knight characters from the game once they show up before i drop this because these new characters kinda suck

Actually not that bad, I think I can enjoy it. The OP and ED are pretty good though. I think this will be another Hortensia Saga, I mean I did enjoy Hortensia Saga a bit, but like Hortensia Saga I can't see myself rating this higher than a 6 for now.

Lidensfilms really loves their game adaptations don't they lmao.

Watched some mobile game adaptions in the previous seasons: They were okay-ish. King's Raid was too long but a good end. Hortensia Saga was shorter (which is better) but failed with the last episode.

Now for this one ... I thought I'd give it a try. Looked like some warrior-princess fighting - the girl in the pic. And the description about those knights.

But now: Those monsters seem boring. And the girl is some student council president. Those Japanese really like to have their schoo/academy settings lol.

Not gonna watch this any further. This will be a bit tooo generic for my taste - regarding the school/academy setting and the monsters. I'd prefer some medieval kingdoms and a lil bit politics in between. (Like the other 2 adaptions I mentioned had.)

An action-packed opening episode. Everything you could have thought of was in this ep, pretty standard stuff so far overall.

This Physis is a lot of trouble, the way they can mould together, and make new versions of themselves. Kinda creepy, if ya ask me. I felt like Nemo this episode:I don't know. Faria kicked ass this ep, despite being hurt. Kinda funny how she just up and quit the place after saving only Nemo, and was a train that long really necessary for about 3 people, lol.

So that's why they choose deku's seiyuu for this guy, because he's gonna do a "from zero to hero". After an anime adaptation based on a mobile game that aired two or three seasons ago and that I liked I thought maybe we can have good anime based on games, guess I was wrong.

First minute in, the girl already attracted me with her nice song. I maybe too dumb. But, why she patrol through such a dangerous places with only just one girl student guard and also acted as the machinist too? She must be strong af with that condition. But, then, ofc the male self-inserted mc just took the last attention to close these first chapter xd. The shock element just too exaggerating that i can't help but laugh with that direction. Too lame to introduced them, generally. Ah, well.

However, if i can be honest here, the school outfit art looks cool. That megane style too, damn, its nice! Not to mention the girls design, look decent and pretty cute to my standard. Not to mention that the Ellen girl also voiced by HanaKana. I hope she got more screen time, considering she was also the seven knights of these show role, not just sleeping behind the scene without did much. So, yeah, guess if she got more screen time, i will be liking this generic game adaptation show more than i thought before xd. Lets see how its goes.
