Deleth said: Her idea to save the Empire is bad and she should feel bad. Losing a decisive war against the Kioka Republic will mean the Empire in all likelihood will crease to exist rather than reform itself in more ways than one. I kinda suspect this might be somewhat based on the whole Empire of Japan angle, except that isn't how it works out in the mayority of cases and would be unlikely to work out in this case aswell. So far we've seen Kioka as expansionistic and aggressive in all regards. If it defeated the Empire for good it would not let it stick around, reform and reorganize itself it would in all likelihood cut it up and absorb it piece by piece. There's also other factions all around it, who'd want their share. The talk about the collapse he's giving Yatori at the end would be the most likely outcome for her plan. With various outside factions cutting the country up for pieces and the people being trampled. The author should have a look at what most of the time happened to a defeated country, what most of the time happened to the population of these countries. Because we aren't talking about a large empire being defeated in a war over colonies but being invaded and decisively defeated on it's very home soil. It's not pretty, it's not desirable, it's the worst thing that can happen to the very people and all they hold dear. That's why she said to lose the war on their terms. Japan (and Germany) lost the war but because of another common enemy (communism) they were allowed to build up again (evetually). My guess is that Ikta will create another enemy for Kioka, one far more dangerous that the Empire, to force Kioka into keeping the new Empire a strong nation as a buffer. With an Alliance with Kioka, whatever the other threat will think twice about invading either of them. |
| Hm that's a real interesting concept I'd love to watch. A story about trying to lose. Too bad it just hints at this and then ends. Definitely would want following seasons. Fck you Madhouse. |
| I didn't see any words "Fin" or "End" or "Thank you for watching" at the end of this episode, so this must be continuing.....yeah! .....wait a sec..... Studios : Madhouse ......damn |

| Show surprised me. Would of liked to see more episodes allocated to this series. |
| Delightful anime! LTG Safida - -busted to Private -All medals revoked -Executed Don't see that kinda complete nosedive very often! Great way to end the season, with a little unpredictable plot bit of plot twist. I do hope there will be another season next year. Yatori is an amazing character and portrayed so beautifully, so stoically and so deadly. I'd would have liked to learn more about the little spirits/sprites. As for portraying a functional military, I think it did all right. When this comes up for retail I'll be buying it. :) |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| One of the top 5 series of this season, I think. Overall it had some absurd pacing issues (it did skip a lot of source) and the animation was very inconsistent, but it was able to carry a cliche-laden plot in a rather graceful way. I pray this series is successful enough to get funded for another season. There are definitely worse series out there that have done so. |
| A great show. But underrated. I kinda knew that 'set things on fire' plan was bluff but never knew the soldiers were under them. The negotation is pretty tense as well. I kinda predicted that talks between Ikta and the princess will be at the last episode about 'losing' the war. Quite a surprising and unpredictable order that surprise him too. Also, glad that damn Safida finally gets what's coming for him by getting executed. |

| Pretty good finale for this series. It was enjoyable to watch. The tactics Ikta made were quite smart, especially the bluff for this episode. Here's hoping to a season two. 7/10 overall. |
 |
| And they back to the Empire, safe and sound. Then the Princess told Iktar to lose the war to save the country. What an ending. Means it need another Season, or maybe just OVA |

Miragee said: How can you set it to "completed"? For me it's still airing somehow. What's up with that? what i did is set it to completed in the main page of this anime |
 someone else always have what you want, but it usually means nothing to them... |
| I never fucking liked that 12 yr old princess. What a bitch move to end this season. Lose the war to accept Kioka's influences but maintain enough power to make sure the empires culture/customs remain so you can stop the corruptness at its core??????????????? That right there is suchhhhh a bitch move and sounds like a fucking calculus problem. We get an irrelevant loli who goes along and just rapes the finale. Could've been so much better. In my opinion, the second half of ep 13 was not as good as the previous episodes. |
| One of the better anime of the season. I have a little more hopes for it at the beginning, but it didn't live up to all of my expectations in the end. Still, in any case, it was a good show, although not without some pretty big flaws. 8/10. I wouldn't mind watching another season, tactics battles are always exciting, but I doubt this title will get one... Now, the show's finished its run, right? Yet it's still marked as 'Airing' and I can't send it to the Completed list! Mods, do something! It's awfully frustrating. |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| Just doesnt feel right that its ending, seems like theres so much more to be told. |
 |
| I guess it's safe to say that this show was pretty underrated. Never really saw a whole lot of talk about it week to week on social media. Glad to see it's score is pretty high though. Anybody know how popular the anime was in Japan, or how BD/DVD stalker numbers are doing or if the LN got a sales boost? I wont hold my breath for a second season, but Madhouse has been shocking the anime community lately, so there could be a chance? I kind of spoiled stuff for myself, but if they did continue it shit would definitely get a lot more interesting considering: Guess only time will tell. Also, I didn't think much of this at the beginning of the season, but so many people were bitching about Madhouse's take on the art style for the show. I've never read it, so I didn't think anything of it. Then I decided to check it out...goddamn what the fuck were y'all complaining for? The LN characters all look like shoddily drawn half-chibis, and the manga...oh god the manga. Ikuta alone in the manga is fucking atrocious. He looks like a fucking hideous man beast. My eyes bled a little when I clicked on the picture. If anything Madhouse saved this show by not forcing us to look at shitty looking characters all season. They look mature, and are pleasant on the eyes. |
| Really nice underrated anime, enjoyed it from start to finish, will be waiting for a season 2. 8/10 |

| Alderamin has the best plot this season hands down. I'm quite surprised myself, as I wasn't expecting much of this anime when it first aired (if I had known better...). 10/10 - Lazy but genius protagonist - Badass women without ecchi undertones - Beautiful platonic (debatable) relationships - War and mind games - Tragedy (spoiler) Totally underrated anime. Season 2 is a must. |
| Interesting anime one of the hidden gems for sure. Hoping for a second season |
 |
| Great ending, sure it was intense, but really like how Ikta tactical mindset allways find a workaround, dire situations, i really enjoyed watching it, and it's a open ending with good potential for a sequel or a movie. I must say that princess sure is addicted to Ikta, she cant barely think of anything else X-) Hope for more of this in the future :) |

| Fav anime of this season, I haven't really seen anything like it too. 9.7/10 |
| Alright final fight and great tactic. A really satisfying season, Nyatt! A second season must be delivered immediately! Gotta say i love there personalities in this anime, and incredible voice acting by everyone. very smooth Animation as well. Little excited for another season, might be interesting how Ikta will have to lose a war.? 8,4/10 |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| I liked the ending and overall enjoyed this show. Hopefully it gets a second season soon. |
| i don't like it 6/10 |
| That ending was definitely unexpected, but maybe she is right. I'm glad that general died, he was an ass. Loved the OP, would be great to have a 2nd season but i don't think it will happen. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Ikta did a great job getting under Jean's skin. His advice to him in the end was spot on though. The dude's talent is responsible for his comrades complacency. If they took him out, then the Alderamin would lose for sure. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this series. I can only hope for a second season because it was that enjoyable. |

It's not pretty, it's not desirable, it's the worst thing that can happen to the very people and all they hold dear. From the anime we know almost nothing about kyouka republic ... except that one of the most brilliant man from the Katjvarna empire fled to this republic. Remember Einstein? In history you'll find everything you want, there are cases when losing a war was the best thing for the people on the long run (short term not necessarily). If we knew a bit more about how the Kyouka republic works and how the people and the politicians think there, we could assess if the princess's idea is a good one or not. So far we have zero infos though. We don't have that much on the empire either. |
| I always liked shows with a little mindgame, especially if it's about military. Some parts were boring, the spirits seem to be mere plot tools. But overall quite good show. And definitely going to watch a second season (if it happens) to see how the plot will progress. Solid 8/10. |
| The unsleeping general gets bluffed and threatened into submission, he also gets a speech by solork all of which will moitivate him further. Hime's losing the war but still have enough power to resist a full culture take over is solid, hope for S2 8/10 Ikta needs to find a way to keep Yatori and the Igsem alive in all this.  |
 |
| Solork is such an awful name, noticed it after the princess started yelling. |

bryanpai said: Farscape1 said: And negotiations like they were having wouldn't have much of a purpose if as soon as people agreed and turned their backs someone started shooting again. The enemy general was an honorable man, he lost and wasn't about to throw away his honor just so he could kill a man that outsmarted him. That would be winning in the wrong way. Actually, in the LN Ikta demands Jean to throw away their weapons and leave horses on the battlefield and Jean agreed, but this part was cut from the anime. Woaaah! Thank you! Now that makes sense! While I was watching the anime I was thinking like Uzee : "Are they kidding me? after Ikta vicious and unfair "negotiations", it's more a betrayal actually, I would never ever hold my words, NEVER! and yes, being jean I would have let the soldiers shoot this Ikta asshole as soon as I was far enough from him. But if they had no more gun in the "real story" then now I understand. I had indeed problems at many occasion with the pacing and I was kind of reassured it was not due to bad writing but more to heavy cutting. For me one the strengh of this show was to try to show war like it can be, a drama, but on the same level the story failed because the plot "protected" the MCS from any highly moral struggle: _ the army received the order to kill civilians (kids, women, ...) but oh lucky MC he is in the only company that won't do so. What would he have done if he had received the direct order, like the other companies, or if he had at least to see his comrades kiling civilians? _ Ikta arrived soon enough to stop his comrades from raping Nanaqu. What would he have done "about his comrades" if he had arrived too late? _ He chosed to wait 2 days before going up to rescue the fort. He didn't know this friend of his was there waiting for his help. What would he have done if he had known? I think there's a big difference between letting your friend die knowingly and not. Shikata ga nai yo? (it can't be help?) Despite many flaws though (there are a lot actually), the good aspects won : good show. |

| Great finale leaving me wanting to see more sure this series is not gold but it is at least silver it kept me entertained and made me wan´t to see more. Of all 5 series I watched that just ended this past days 91 days. Alderamin and Endride gave me a good ride from finish to end. |
 |
| A fine series to me. Since it is adapted from LN many details are missing, so it appears somewhat forced and asspulls. The way Ikta threatens Jean with a bluff was uninteresting, Jean should have retaliated once he 'agreed' to Ikta's terms. So, Chamille wants to save country by losing war to Kioka so that they bring their influence and politics, seems amateurish. Also, Ikta necessarily doesn't have to accept such 'deal' from a puppet princess in the first place. |
zcv45 said: Great finale. Loved this episode. Personally favorite one. The ending with the princess reminded me of Japan. Like Katjrvana, WW2 Japan had a puppet imperial government. Japan lost the war but ended up being better politically with less authoritarian control and a economic powerhouse. Meanwhile it kept its unique culture. The exact thing Princess Chamille wants. Though WW2 Japan did not :P Hopefully the empire doesn't have to lose two major cities being wiped off the face of the earth for them to prosper after the war. |

That's very shaky bet from Chamille though if you ask me. 1. Even if they lose with enough force, Kioka might still be able to force a full culture takeover, simply due to the fact that they "conquered" the empire. Kioka is slowly but gradually advancing in technology while the Empire still has idiots in the top ranks. 2. There's a possibility that Kioka might assimilate the Empire's culture instead. When Kublai Khan conquered China, he took in part of China's culture into Mongol. The same may happen here and Kioka might take in the Empire's culture and things remain the same. |
| very good end...but will there be a second season follow up |
 |
| I don't like Yatori, she seems pretentious af, though that is probably because the burden she has on her shoulder and how she was raised. There only one way to save her that is to end everything that she is burdened with or let she rest in peace, which is pretty much the same thing since Igsem family will die to protect the Corrupted Empire. And Jean is very relatable, but it is perfectly understandable, since he was on the right side, or at least he think, since he is trying his best to get rid of Monarchy and bring the idea of Republic to enlighten the people, those who are still suffered under the Empire rule, Ikta probably mentioned Han Xin quote "The hunting dog becomes food as well after it is used to hunt game", advanced and enlightened people like him who are hard working and has wonderful dream will most likely be soon be getting rid of after the war because not many people want to change or care that much about "the people" of his wonderful dream, but is it true? because it's not like Republic of Kioka whose philoshophie and technology and culture are so advanced is like Imperial China of Liu Bang. The princess idea is probably refer to the bombardment of Kagoshima, in which Satsuma is lose but not exactly lose, and the British is not exactly win but have limited success, by doing that the whole nation who is still sleeping in the past and being backwards, suddenly woke up to the incredible power, technology and culture of western civilisation, and put an end to the backwards rule of Bafuku, starting a new age. I want to know how this will turn out looking forward for the second season. 10/10 overall. They should adopted good novels and make more anime like this than overrated self-insert $h!tty novels. |

The tech gap won't get big enough to overwhelm them. 2. perhaps, but as long as hime is the empress she will not allow a full kioka takeover, eventually she will retake her land. |

| Did anyone else think this show was like the game Fire Emblem Awakening made into an anime lol. Heck, Ikta and Yatori might as well be Chrom and Cordelia. |
| Damn, between 90% and 10%, if that 10% is chance that might cost you your life and your comrades' needlessly, I guess it's a good decision. So satisfying to finally see Safida get his karma. |
