First two episodes are out online.

Second episode had a lot of action again. I got a feeling this show is targeted with a lot of fighting this season. Lol, the green haired woman may have a crush on Yami? Still not sold on this yet. The character designs have a flashy look though.

Facing a strong enemy, and the buildings destroyed miserably. It's when beginning of series happens, huh (start of ep.1).

KajiKaji's character training not just sword, but gain knowledge to be the next in line for ruling the dark world. Then meeting a new character, who seems to fall in love and wanting him to fight against other candidates. There seems to be another male character in the bar.

Decent episode, think it was better than the first. Had more action to keep your attention. Overall I don’t see this show being anything special, but I like the designs and the queen is cute so that’s enough to keep me watching. Just won’t be waking up early for it.

Idk how the rune is going to protect the queen if she can only pour limited amounts of energy into it. Especially against stronger opponents. Gorza has a crush on Yami, pretty cute.

Me neither,

But I think it's safe to say that this is just another version of Romeo and Juliet with more fantasy elements.

It may just me, but I felt the fighting part was so boring. There was no thrill as it was obvious with 100% they're losing anyway. And the voice Bahl\Bal\whatever (I don't know, it sounds like Ba'al, a god in the Ancient Canaanite religion) didn't add. I didn't like it at all. It was annoying.

The second part was more interesting, though felt too short. Seems like interesting things are about to happen to our young male protagonist. A thing I can't say right now about our female protagonist, who I must say, was quite a cliche in my opinion and wasn't too interesting.

Okay, this is too strange, or more like, nonsensical. Zaregoto, if you may.
Only two episodes have aired, yet this already has a score of 6.28 or so?
I am no anime professional, yet it still makes zero sense. The three chapter rule is a joke to you people? And I say that, while in truth we should all see the complete anime before scoring. Of course some may drop out halfways, with all the reasons to do so, and give a bad score. But doing so at the first chapter is just sad. Many people are saying things about both protagonists' personalities, yet they have only seen the exterior and thought "Mr Black & Ms White". Its sad.
I don't care if at the end the score it recieves is a bad one, yet this is not the time. No one has seen enough (unless you read the manga, which i haven't)

Edit: on reading others posts not sure what people are finding so confusing. Plot and characters are all pretty straight forward so far and the world looks to be very fun. Mayhaps they been drinking too much koolaid.

Heey


I really liked this episode but wasn't a great fan off the 3D enemy in the picture I really like the drawing style but arent really fund off the 3D animations they do nowadays with big enemies I would give this 9 with the a non 3D enemy and make him back to a 2D design.

But it putted me off a lot it looked like a 3D transformer so I really disliked that part the rest off story and getting in the series was great :D

So with the 3D transformer (Sorry I really disliked it) a 8 for this story line I'm excited for the next episode :).

I think It's building up to something great and becoming a great anime with a great story :).

And think this is gonna be anime that's getting snowed under with 7 or 6 but actually is a great anime but we will see catch u in the next episode on the forums.

See ya ;)!

Yeah the fighting was, I guess, boring. Also, Bahl's dialogue and/or voice does feel off. Glad I'm not the only one who feels that way.

I still have no idea where to put this anime. Everything feels rushed as if they're gonna condense everything to fit just 13 episodes.

Hopefully Yami's characterisation can take the spotlight in this show; it seems set up for it. I hope it's well executed.

The character designs, weaponry and armour all look really well drawn through.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

This Anime is story wise unfortunately rubbish... !

First minutes: Village under attack, no one has a real weapon besides the main char (who is not fighting)....
Children dying no one seemed to care... sick looking girl who knows what has happend to her! Than the guy throwing a sword at him & without even a fight he inherits his belongings (WTF) and when in the City first guy he talks to who, is the guy he was supposed to meet and after 2 times hitting their sword Vallus excepts him WTF....

This was the worst story I ever saw... couldn't finish even the first episode. If i had finished it I would still be facepalming ....

Boring & uninspired enough that I was seriously thinking of dropping this, but then...
Groza-sama 😍
Not only cute, but unlike all the other characters so far, she actually shows some potential at having a personality... until she started going doki-doki anyway 🙄 Guess i’ll stick around a bit longer 😁

This show continues to be a badly-executed mess of confusing continuity and uninteresting characters. Whoever is directing this has NO sense of pacing or of having a continuum of character motivation.

In the first episode, a guy is having a sword fight with the MC, showing no visual signs of struggling or feeling pain, and then all of a sudden he just dies. It feels like it comes out of nowhere. In this episode Bahl attacks the kingdom, and Iris is running out of power to stop him, and then he just... leaves? WHY? He calls her a "wet blanket" and then just abandons the attack for... reasons? EXPLAIN, show!!! Why was he attacking in the first place? What was his goal? Just to mess with Iris for funsies? [As an aside, his vocal performance was distractingly mismatched for such a large ominous beast.]

The background art continues to be terribly-executed to the point of distraction as well. Some of the pillars and railings in the kingdom of darkness were noticeably off-kilter and looked like they were in different planes, there were a few shots of the minarets on top of the castle in the Light Kingdom that were so oversimplified they looked like wooden block toys, and the entire design of the rocks and sky in the Kingdom of Darkness is still a bland visually-uninteresting mess of brown shapes with no contrast in color or shading or interesting visual designs.

The plot is also executed in a way where they leave out (or just briefly mention in dialog) major plot points which makes the entire thing feel like a confusing mess. Like, the last time we left the MC off, he was still in a field in a wasteland somewhere, his whole village destroyed, vowing to defeat the King of Darkness. And now he's in a town somewhere? And he's talking to this Vallus guy who was just next to the king's throne as if he's a friend? What happened? How did they meet? How did Vallus learn about his ambitions? Are we just supposed to accept that the MC was like "I am the Prince of Darkness now!" And this guy was just like "Ok!" and started training him? EXPLAIN!!! SHOW!!! Give us interesting character progression or motivation or interesting personality dynamics between characters, for the love of God!

Summary: This show is bad. I don't expect to watch any more of it. It's my least-favorite show of this spring season by a large margin.

Pacing got improved, now it's watchable. There's nothing to be confused about this ep.
Better action this ep, and ost was great but maybe too heavy. Small studio No9 is trying decently with their effects & hair flutter. Feels like Garo at times. Bahl's va sucks tho, it just doesn't fit. Some pacing tho still loses the battle intensity.
Quite apparent Dark faction is quite divided on the war.
Prince went from sulking in a hole to musclebrain now after that training timeskip.
Lol Groza how cute.

This episode STILL cannot convince the idea of a simple "Light vs. Dark" overall plot apitiude, and I don't know...getting closer to Lord of Vermillion territory levels in terms of game plot. How bad it is...will be continued. As usual, lots of action, but messy ones.

The background music this time was quite distracting to say the least for getting the situation pumped up like Fire Force-levels of action (at least on the metal side of things). Too heavy...

Last episode's focus on the MC being the successor to the King of Darkness, and this episode's focus on the Queen of Light, both equally as bad and trash as I remember.

With the more tolerable 2nd half, at least the subjugated boy hemming under the position of the Prince of Darkness is now under the tutelage of raising to be a King status, so we're going somewhere. And then him earning a liking to the Queen of Darkness Lady Groza.

Decent episode that's better than the first, but still not sure of what to make of it.

TBH, I still have no idea what this series is about...

Is the male MC the "bad guy"? Since he declared himself as the Prince of Darkness... literal Darkness...

Tho this kinda reminds me of that Plot in "Nanatsu no Taizai" about the main MC and the Heroine being enemies but falls in love (aka Romeo & Juilet plot).


Anyways, gonna put this series in the "Watch later" section. The story is kinda weird and confusing, especially if you never played the game, the anime kinda just jumps right into the action with next to no explanation or backstory of world setting.

Not much but the following kept the best. Bahl battles were ugly. Its followed Groza designed with an unsatisfying. And its obvious that she had an interest with that prince darkness. The story so far still blurred to me, since there were still a missed point here and there. Lets see another episode

Good thing that as a candidate future dark king, he has to train not only in strength but also in wisdom. Still curious to our MC's name (unless I missed that) because as far as I know he only has been referred as The prince of darkness thanks to the late Skeers.
