Fun start to something I wasn't too interested in... nya.

Ninym's brutality caught me offguard, but at that point I knew I would like her... nya.

Looks good so far. I like the general idea for the story. Good voice acting on protagonist. Battle animation (or rather lack of it) as bad as expected. Wein and Ninym interactions are unexpected strong point.

The story looks excellent but the production quality seems subpar. Guess they couldn't get enough budget for another isekai

Uhh... it's not an isekai though? For what it's worth, this studio hasn't made any iseaki at all.

As I thought the manga had a lot more skinship and service no wonder this ep felt boring

Damn, we are missing out on some good stuff :|

She does have a very cute design, and that glorious sideboob sure activates neurons
But so far seems like an unrealistic "perfect" girl which is good at everything. I wonder if there's room for development.
Though she's 90% reason why I'll watch 2nd episode instead of dropping.

Rie Takahashi? White/Silver hair? Nyaa? Definitely NekoLia.
The OP and ED are forgettable really.
The premise seems decently entertaining so I will stick with it but I felt this episode was a bit rushed. They need to slow it down a bit.
3/5

OK episode.

The story is average, and I don't see what the appeal of the MC is. The long inner monologue he does is very painful to watch and listen. Animation looked average, but better than Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha.

Diet Emilia is cute. That's was the highlight of the episode.

Bit of a rough start, but not so bad. Ninym was a big plus and there's enough here I might delve into the source material sometime.

So far this show is definitely being carried by Wein and Ninym, Meow.. Especially the latter who's voiced by none other than Rie Takahashi! Cause everything else is mediocre at best. I guess I'll keep watching it for Ninym, cause holy shit is she a bad-ass beauty!!

It is not like i expected, Wein is just worthless char who have really high intelligence but zero interest, Ninym basically "right hand" of Wein, still dont know what relationship they have, looks like fiancee relation. Didnt expect so much, im going to use 3 episodes rule, Really like art and animation but damn i almost sleep middle of story. Its decent anime

Pleasantly suprised. Mind you i had very very low expectations anx this is maybe a 7/10 at best with subpar humor, meh character designs and not much realism to the combat but generally i likesss it. A solid above average anime to watch weekly.

For some "strict" criticism. An army of 5 thousand probably wouldnt stand in 1 giant fat thick blob and run at the enemy lol. Thats some stone age tactics there. For a "well trained army" and honestly well equipped the fighting is primitive. It even kinda annoyed me given i know maybe way too much about ancient warfare tactics but that's just me.
This will definetely be less "realistic" thN realist hero geopolitically and in general b u t certainly more fun than realist hero which si already apparent. Better and more humor and a way more dynamic plot(already obvious)

I do also enjoy how grey morally the majn character is. No quarrel with sending thousands to possible death. Other MCs could beg to resolve issues diplomatically. This would be more "realistic" id say. The general approach to warfare. I like when he mentioned "small lazy attack". Those were lowkey pretty common in medieval times. Random invasion, skirmish and byebye.

Its apparent this is a comedy centered anime. I wouldnt COMPARE it to realist hero which has null comedy and takes itself relatively seriously. Similar theme but different genre. Like comparing Konosuba and Log Horizon or something.
So this one is less "realistic" per say(from ep 1 atleast) by a margin but much nore enjoyable and well executed(it seems from ep 1 atleast)

Solid looking anime.

Comedy anime huh? Hoped the joke ain't get old in 3rd or 4th episode and not "trying to be funny but actually not funny". Camera movements in early minutes and some other were unpleasant to see. Might be another anime which the MC is less interesting than side character ones, as he screamed a lot and anime watchers kind hate that, and those CGI troops looks quite bad too. Fortunately Ninym saved the show by showing her merciless and brutal character.

Ok this is a great start. I love how they took the Ainz part of him acting like a ruler and just cranked it to 11 with comedy.

I can't wait to see him trying to screw the country while making it stronger.

I also really like the fact the female lead is also in on the comedy. Like she's not in awe like everyone else she's alongside him in the confusion.

Well, the only worthy thing in this anime is the godly silver haired side boobed thick thighs girl aka Ninym. Wein's pretty fun so that's a good thing that he's just joking around the whole time but still managing to defend his kingdom.
OP and ED are great.

The MC is somewhat likeable in the sense that his bratty attitude inspires brotherly affection.

Meh. This is a clear example of a half hearted work.

Even though the comedy isn't bad, it clashes so terribly with the non chalant gore and at the same time the action and strategic values isn't anything worth to mention. I would had prefered a full blown comedy about conquering regions and keeping a kingdom a float or a brutal political/war drama.

I'll give it the 3 episode rule just because discount Emilia might be worthwhile.

The animation was quite good the art style is also attractive.
But the thing that makes the 1st episode kinda bad was the Story telling the pacing was rushed the ln/manga explained everything 1st before they start a war but in anime they just used some throwback. Maybe they really rushing the story.
7.5/10 it's enjoyable tho now i am gonna wait for the guy who talk down to ninym. I wanna see the mc cutting some heads like he did in the ln/mangaa

I was kind of expecting this anime to be like Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha, and I'm so glad its not, the first episode being a lot better than my experience of Genjitsu's season 1.
This anime episode is not one of my favorite anime of this season, at least ranking first episodes, but the animation is good; main herione got Rie Takahashi (voice actor who played Emilia from Re:Zero), so that's nice as well; and its amusing, although not exactly funny.

Pretty basic war, the comedy doesn't suit my taste even tho I'm a fan of misunderstanding comedy, it seems like I really need to get attached to the charas first, but they seem quite boring with Ninym is like your typical stoic waifu.
The ending with closeup on their hands is really sweet and wholesome tho, guess I'm hooked by their relationship, so I hope this isn't harem.

this is awesome so far, I am sold! The VA of Adalet from Rokka and Emilia from Re:Zero so excellent work there. Mixed with some faced paced comedy and geopolitics. Works for me, does not need to be complicated just a little more bearable then that realist hero show.

this was okay if not thing else it will just be another seasonal waifu fodder which is working because Takahashi Rie is the main lead


not expecting any well thought out military and politics because everything that was rushed already was mostly super basic and straight forward


was questioning if it was actually a comedy little brutal to open up your first episode with some beheadings but uh okay (was a little caught off by that)


while the OP is very lazy and boring i liked the song

I went into this thinking it would be more like realist hero so I didn't really super expect the comedy take. This is probably somewhat superficial, but I didn't like the switch between 2D and 3D. The plot, story, characters seem average. I'll give it another 2 episodes but it didn't capture me like realist hero did in the first episode.

Ninym could make a great waifu. She looks a bit like Emilia. That's nice.




LOL I don't want to add more observant comment.
well she is also voiced by same actress as Emilia

Realist Hero is better than this shit. Here we go again another isekai with generic design characters, waifu bait (copy of Emilia design with Rie Takahashi? don't tempted me like that, it doesn't work). Lazy plot, boring concept, mediocre animation/art, suck and crap music/OST, lagged 5 FPS/frames camera works, edgy MC with cool design make some ugly wh0re horny.

Imo this was surprisingly good, I really liked the main character, Prince Wein, his personality is fun and it’s unique for a fantasy anime from what I’ve seen, and the waifu Ninym is great, she definitely hits a lot of check marks lol. The plot is fun too, it was the main reason I picked this one. It’s a shame to hear it’s pretty rushed, but so far it hasn’t hurt it for me so we’ll see how it goes. For now, I’m really looking forward to more.

And the OP was very good, the visuals weren’t so much but the song was very good, definitely a fan of THE SIXTH LIE because of their Golden Kamuy EDs. And the ED was good too, once again the visuals not so much but the song was great.
