| so good. probably the best this season. |
| Ok. I liked the first chapter, it's curious. The opening and ending are good. |
| I definitely wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did. I wasn't too sold when I first saw the key visual and art style but it didn't take long to find out I was wrong. The animation and art look very nice and consistent which I'm thankful for. Bojji is very likeable so far and it was satisfying when he dodged all those attacks and proved people wrong at the end. The shadow really gives me fmab vibes lol A very good start |
 |
| Oh wow, this was a pleasant surprise. Almost didn't watch this because of the art style, but I suppose it was presumptuous of me to not have faith in Wit. I'd say the art style even fits the vibe of this show. |
| Damn, this looks pretty interesting. |
 |
| One of my most anticipated shows this season alongside Blue Period and Komi, and this ep already delivers! Fantastic episode, so far my favorite ep 1 this season. Bojji is very charming! |
| well damn. that episode ended fast. his voice is exactly what i imagined it to sound like. been waiting for this anime, 11/10 |
| good feelings about this we might be in for a good ride show is about don't let looks be deceiving i'm all here for the rise of Bojji ,even the shit 2nd prince surprised me music is so good too |
 |
| usually not a fan of "mc is different and everyone bullies him" kind of thing but.. that was pretty nice wasnt it? as kiddy or childish it looks i think it was.. really good. it went off my expectations at least, and i think ill continue to enjoy it |
| I LOVED THE FIRST EP |
 |
| Has a huge potential. Very sad to see it's getting over looked because the art style looks childish though the Animation looks CLEAN af. It's a unique concept I've ever seen in the Anime medium. Curious to see how the world building will play out and how the citizens will finally accept Bojji as the true king. 11_BlueSky said: Sondfer said: they need to adapt a big name seriesYeah, this could be it, but in different way too - studio is in big financial trouble right now. And for that they need to have a higher budget which is not possible as of now. I believe in them that they WILL pull it off from the financial crisis. Look at Kyoani. Even after the Arson they are still producing anime and movies like Kobayashi, Free movie and Violet Evergarden movie. |

| What is all this hype about? I really don't get it It's just too childish for me, for now at least. |
 |
| Finally watched it. What i noticed is that none of the more notable characters comes off as completely unlikable to me despite them looking down on Bojji so far except for the snake handler, honestly he's pretty suspicious. Like how even did that snake attack on Bojji happen, they kept that pretty secret. Pretty good sign for me that these characters are multi-layered. Time to root for Bojji and WIT Studio all the way through this ride. |
| This show looks really good, It does have a cartoony feel to it but it doesn't fail in scenes with blood in it. I am really impressed by Bojji character though being a kid unable to hear nor speak. He does his best to become a king and that is really inspiring. While Kage we dont know anything from him other than he is a member of a assassins clan. I really like Kage's Name (Shadow) it relates on what he is being a assassin and a black creature that looks like a shadow. Overall this first Episode is really Good I am really looking forward for more great episodes like these |
 |
| I was going to drop this because it looks childish and stupid But I'm glad that I did not..... it is better than what I expected |
| Holy shit, that was really fucking great! I am hooked already, the premise and the world is really interesting and of course our boy Bojji is really easy to root for. Go our future king! We also getting some sick ass action scenes. Definitely one of the best premieres this season, really looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Lovely animation and character designs! One of the only new anime I was interested in this season and it didn't disappoint, I can tell this is going to be a charming wholesome adventure with lots of imagination. Hope someone like Mother's Basement or Gigguk talks about it to give it some attention like they did with Odd Taxi. |

| Loved the first episode and the character designs. Hope people don’t sleep on this. Also, does anyone else think Daida kind of reminds them of Joffrey Baratheon? 😅 |
| I really wanted to watch only 12-13 eps anime this season bcoz next Spring, I have really important exams coming. This anime is an exception |
| Weird anime. It doesn't look like something I'd watch, but there seems to be some depth to it. Nothing special happened, yet I want to see more. It might just turn out to be one of the better titles this season. |
| Amazing animation during the dodging scene! The premise of the show is also pretty interesting. Looks like this will be a good contender for show of the season. |
| Instantly fell in love! This be "odd taxi" of this season for me! |
| This was nice! Bojji and Kage are true partners! 4/5. |
 |
| MUST PROTECT BOJJI! MY SON! Promising start overall. Art-style reminds me of some children books and I particularly look forward to seeing how this story will develop. |

For me, bcs it's a seinen anime adapted by wit studio (i like vinland saga) first episode of ousama ranking is 10/10 for me and i'm crying hahaha The artstyle, animation, and voice actors are great It is about a deaf prince, so it's not childish FOR ME Hahaha Art? Animation? Lol what? Ah yes the deaf prince such a heartbreaking anime *sob* But yeah this hype is JUST for wit studio, I wonder how much time it will maintain this hype. |

This type of story have no boundaries every one can enjoy from young to adult audience. The story did a great job in makeing you sympathize with the main character in just one episode. Ghibli movies are soo popular and well received not because of its stories but it's execution. Looking at this first episode I could already tell this is wit studio's passion project. |

You don't even know a thing about source material. But yeah the entitled you knows this is the CHILDISH show. Yeah, of course... Also fluid animation really works great only with simplistic art. I would always prefer fluid animation over amazing art for anime. Simplistic art doesn't mean bad art for me. In this case, the character design seems fine to me. And the simple designs makes the animation easier |

em_doubleyou said: fahimsadik said: Since this is a consecutive 2-cour that'll cover the entire manga Source that it will cover the entire manga?? The truth is we don't know, really. We only know that there will be 23 episodes. And there are rumours that the 12th volume of the manga will be the last volume, so we're just guessing because the numbers maybe fit. Though I personally hope that the adaptation will be complete. I think attempting complete adaption in 23 episodes might be really rushed. Well we will see though. If they were really going for complete adaption 26 should have been much better than 23. I hope they don't go for complete adaption. |

Fluid animation? nah It's just normal with very poor art, and I do know about source material, it's a manga that nobody knows about, right? |

| I'm impressed! This was second on my list of what Fall 2021 anime I was looking forward to the most - due to the amazing staff line-up - and I was not disappointed. Great first episode. Bojji is such an adorable kid, it hurt to see so many people making fun of him but he'll show them all up one day. There's not many anime that showcase MCs with disabilities, but this first episode already did an excellent job of portraying the hardships that come with it. Being deaf has many disadvantages when it comes to swordfighting, so it'll be interesting to see how Bojji could make it up with his tactical skills. This anime really has a lot of potential. I hope it won't disappoint storyline-wise any time soon. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Been a while (sometimes around Bronze Age) since a seasonal anime actually got my attention, but this start was more than just promising. |
Use your brain before using your keyboard!  |
| As I expected this anime is the surprise of the autumn season with a great story and animation, I am waiting for chapter 2 I hope that more people know this anime |
| This was beautiful and touching. Bojji is the most adorable prince I've ever seen. No one really understands Bojji, but he met Kage and for some reason they understand each other. I can already sense it'll be the most touching friendship. I teared up when Bojji started crying when he was alone. Finally King Gnu got to perform for another anime after Banana Fish. Loved the ED by yama. So happy this will have 23 episodes. |
