I really don't trust JC Staff nowadays but this one is surprisingly good. And Minase Inori as the female lead is a huge plus.

really scooping the bottom of the barrel. civil servants are a plague for country economies a scourge not heroes


Civil servants are the ones that fund your country. Who do you think collects your taxes?
A country is founded generally by an army lead by a general. After the founding they become the monarch and the nobles. About taxes over taxation is a problem to the failed model of democracy. Historically the army or tax collectors would collect taxes which were much fewer and smaller . But what a civil service does is this: decide to do something for the people without asking if they want to or not , collect taxes by force for it, fill their pockets with over 90% of the money collected and then use the rest to do a poor job of what they planned to do if it ever gets done. And the more civil servants the more money get into their pockets less in the actual work and worse that work is. But many like this because either are not net tax payers or are civil servants.

While the pacing felt a bit rushed and a lot of infodump, i think it's necessary move or the anime will be boring in the first few episodes. In my opinion, what makes this story interesting is when the conflict occur throughout the kingdom and how our realist hero solve them as a king.

It was an okay start, looking forward to the next episode.

Pretty good start! Isekai is a pretty flexible genre and this time we gonna learn about economics lmao. This is pretty promising, I like our realist hero turned king Souma already, he's pretty level headed. Also recognized Kobayashi Yuusuke voicing Souma and Minase Inori voicing Liscia immediately. Subaru and Rem is back bois.

King seems pretty lazy and not confident for a king, the only time he sounded confident was when he was passing the throne to Souma lmao. That Seto Kaiba reference though, looking forward to where this goes.

Im up to date on the manga, it was boring(on the first 30 or so chapters) i couldnt keep my attention in check I always space outwhenever i read it, thats not to say i hate it, I enjoy every isekais that ive read, and the barebones beginners guide to rulling a kingdom premise I fucking enjoyed.

Hmm never expected this series to get an anime. Heartfelt advice from the gran there. Nice opening theme from Inorin that did an excellent job at introducing the cast. Seeing the capital transform into a giant summoning circle as part of the summoning spell sure was nice. Being angry sure is a understatement. The insight into how the other lands are faring in the war was a nice direction to take. Gaining both a kingdom and a fiancée though was nice going. Still while unexpected Souma's knowledge of economics really is proving handy in this new world. At the end of the day while things like national treasures are important for one's prestige they are ultimately contributing nothing to their economy so selling them off was a logical move. Overall a solid opening ep that while doing an excellent job at introducing the characters and world also did an excellent job at showing the kind of direction that Souma would take his kingdom as he strives to improve the country as a whole. Though still fresh im loving the dynamic between him and Liscia though as though they have contrasting beliefs the bond between them is shaping up nicely. Souma as a whole is also a nice fresh idea for heros as well.

Isekai with a kingdom building element? Thats kinda new on my book. Not to mention the fmc got Minori as her va. Damn, what kind of reason to dislike this? Well, even if the plot of having the dumb king as the device for this series is actually kinda silly. But, as an overall this first is engaging me to continue watching, more or less.

So, yeah, expect more of a great additional information of how Souma rebuilding those tripartite kingdom. Then, more girls, at least three more from the cover, incoming to pleasing my eyes. Seriously, tho, his grandpa literally already giving such an idea that these shit will got ton of girls coming up. So, yeah, i guess, thats it all for now.

Getting summoned from the library remains me of Sheild Hero.

Selling off a Hero you summon is an interesting way to pay off your debt. Kazuya did everything to prevent that at the cost of becoming the new King. It will be fun to see how this goes since it different from your typical Isekai where the hero gets summoned to defeat the Demon Lord.


I think that would've been interesting, he got sold off to another country and then you know vows revenge on them and work his way up and destroy all those who betrayed him. So it could have similar to Shield Hero which it's far better story in my opinion

Ah, yes, another one of those that judges a kingdom building show in one episode and a PV. Just like judging a game by it's graphics without actually playing it or checking the story.

The way they changing the nation by using economics and management reform reminded me somewhat of Maoyuu Maou Yuusha. The MC, Liscia Elfrieden, also looks like Sento Isuzu as well. lol

WTF with that lame King??? No wonder why this nation stuck and got many problems like that.
The concept of using economic development instead of military forces to strengthen the nation is very interesting.


Maoyuu Maou Yuusha reference I see you put. Very underrated anime by the way. I can see that comparison because they definitely have the same traits

I can't believe how many people are writing this anime off because they find hard to believe that an 18 year old can run a kingdom better than a king. Guys, Kazuya did mentioned that he planned to go into civil service so obviously he spent a great deal of time studying economics and social reform. Yeah, a scene explaining that would have been nice but it wasn't necessary because it's not that far fetched. Believe it or not they are some students who take education very seriously because they want to do something in their lives instead of just hanging around doing nothing and getting by. On top of that, Kazuya comes from a fully advanced civilization and not a Medieval/Renaissance one. He has more knowledge than anyone else in that world.

And for those of you who are saying that king is lame, well... yeah. He is, and he knows it too. Which is why he gave control of the kingdom over to Kazuya because he quickly realized that he was better suited for it despite he is because again Kazuya's knowledge far exceeds his own. If you look through the history of monarchies having weak kings was not unusual. If fact, it was quite common. Rulers were often placed there by others so they could be controlled.

I give the King credit for admitting that he was ill suited for the throne instead of stubbornly denying it so he could stay in power. He strikes me as the kind of guy who didn't want the throne in the first place. Yeah, it was a dick move to place it all on Kazuya's shoulder but it was either that or let his kingdom fall apart.

If you still think this isekai is stupid because of its concept, here some advice. Go watch High School Prodigies and then come back and try saying that again. TRUST ME. There's a good chance you'll take back everything yous said about this anime. This is far more believable than that anime. Seriously, if the whole nuclear reactor thing doesn't get you then the scene with the samurai girl who not only has the ability to run really fast but can also carry an already ignited cruise missile will.

Ngl, it's an uninspiring first episode. Will stick around to see if it gets better but I can see Realist Hero might turn out to be an unfortunate Compressed Adaptation. Feels too rushed though I know they wanna introduce the main girl right away instead of in ep 2. The abdication scene would've been a good cliffhanger instead of the MC's smart-aleck conversation with main girl.

I don't know how the LN story goes, but if they keep on glorifying the MC is the only smart guy in this world...well we shall see. Could've use an extra scene of MC talking with college mates that he's using the Machiavelli's book for his Economics or Sociology Essay homework. That would've make "him being confident to know what he's doing" scene much more convincing. Hey, avid fans. At least I'm not dismissing him for a chess grandmaster that should've been summoned into this new world.

A pretty decent start, i just wish they shown more of his reforms but i guess we will get all that in the next episode.

Also, can't believe this is probably one of those rare times when someone is isekaied and is a normal person, the way he handled all of the talk and the marriage thing, what a goat.

This episode is unique because of how the hero is not powerful like has magic power but is using his wits to solve the problem.
The story is pretty straitforward for its themes but in a good way. They explain the worldbuilding and other infodump in a easy to digest manner.

Overall good start its a isekai but different imo

High school prodigies is without a doubt more garbage than this one

But you know I can't help myself feeling like they rushed this whole thing just to make the MC look like a good. Like for example the King is not lame, he is an idiot(and incompetent) but he is so stupid that he just gave up the throne to someone he barely knows !!?

I'm bummed at all the stuff they're leaving out just in the first episode, as someone way invested in the Light Novel. That doesn't bode well for the rest of the season but I'll be along for the ride.

But ya'll, let's be clear here: there is a lot of potential, but the story that'll be laid out here will most likely be kinda trashy. That's not a knock against it. I also liked High School Prodigies, trashy as hell but such a wish-fulfillment series. And isekai is a wish-fulfillment genre. Trashy is fine when you know what you're going into. Let shows be trashy sometimes.

Not to sound rude but did you even watch the episode? The first scene, along with the scene of them explaining the situation to Kazuya, made it clear that they exhausted all other options and that summoning the hero was the last resort since no one had a better idea.

Have you ever been in a leadership position before? I have and I can tell you from experience that it's not as easy as it looks. When you're a leader you are under more pressure than anyone else because everyone, and I mean everyone, is depending on you to make the big decisions and that pressure can really get to you. Either you have the ability to do it or you don't. With that in mind if the King wasn't up to the task what makes you think his advisors could do any better? In all seriousness the kingdom is actually very lucky that they summoned someone like Kazuya to their world and not self centered jerk who would have drove the kingdom into ruin because of greed, lust, and power.

The King didn't hand his kingdom over right out of the blue. He and his advisors spent three whole days with Kazuya before he made that announcement. Of course his advisors would be shocked but once they thought it over they would have realized it was actually the best decision he ever made as King. Naturally his daughter would have protested about it but once she saw for herself how intelligent Kazuya was she no longer cared because what he was doing, despite being controversial, was for the good of the kingdom. And what were the common people going to do? Revolt? As far as I can tell the King wasn't that popular anyway so why should they even protest the sudden change of power? Once Kazuya's reforms go into effect no one's going to be complaining.

I honestly don't understand what you're so worked up about. You're complaining about the MC who for once is actually an intelligent person instead of some dumb, perverted loser who can't stand up for himself. Like, what were you expecting this isekai to be? Another dumb hero summoned another world to defeat the evil demon lord or empire while creating a harem in the process and having a bunch of stupid fanservice? At least give this one some credit for trying to do something different for once instead of sticking to the same routine.

Inori Minase voicing the main heroine? And she even sings the OP? I'm sold!

How funny is it that the MC is voiced by Yuusuke Kobayashi and we have a meeting between Rem and Subaru in another isekai xD.

Props to the king who gave the throne to someone more capable and now he can spend more cozy time with the queen haha.

Great first episode, lots of talk but the kind that's fun. I also liked the 2 MC's so I'm looking forward to more.

And leadership, what leadership ??What did he actually do ?? Selling off the country's National treasure to pay off some the debt, any idiot could have done that. Sure he is an "educated" person I assume and like you said being a leader it's a tough job but they don't actually know if he is qualified for it. So giving him that responsibility is very unrealistic to me, it would've make more sense if he started with something small just to show he can do and then he become King

I don't wanna argue with you okay and don't take this the wrong way, I don't think this show is unique just because the MC this time is smart and not overpower like many other Isekai garbage (where they like to glorify the MC so much like he is God and the whole turn into a train wreck like high school prodigies) and it frustrates me to see them keep messing up in telling the story cause if they have done it better I probably wouldn't have been so upset about it

I really like the manga so far, though i know the anime won't be as good as the manga, it will be quite fun to watch

7/10 outta respect, but if the quality continue this shitty, i'll change to a 6/10

And tbh i'm quite mad they didn't use the great panels the manga has. The artstyle and panels of the manga we're so good from the beginning

Well then, that's your problem not mine. I was able to understand everything just fine because I actually used my brain instead of complaining. Did you not read the first paragraph of my original post? Kaguya comes from a very different and more highly advanced world than theirs because education is a standard and not a privilege. If you still can't understand that then I don't know what to say. The King and his advisors didn't to where they are by doing nothing and they are not stupid for the sake of glorifying the MC. That's a really childish way to look at it.

So giving him that responsibility is very unrealistic to me, it would've make more sense if he started with something small just to show he can do and then he become King

What did you expect him to do? Go out and waste money by traveling around the kingdom and making fancy speeches to prove that he was smarter then everyone else? If he had done that no one would have taken him seriously. Again, the King and his advisors spent three whole days with him. That's more than enough time for them to realize that Kazuya knew what he was talking about and he proved that when he explained everything he was doing to the princess. If you had actually paid attention to what he was saying then you would have understood it. How do you think sport players become team captains? Or students who become President of Student Councils? They did it through their actions and their knowledge, not with words.

Let me make very simple for you to understand. The kingdom is dire straits and everyone knows it. They need to do something drastic in order to keep from going under and if handing control of the kingdom to a stranger, who's proven to be far more intelligent than they are, and selling their national treasure is the only way to do it then so be it. It's either that or let themselves be conquered by another nation after they collapse.

So let me see if understand this correctly. You're upset with this anime because it's not realistic enough according to you even though both I and the anime explained things in a way that a child could understand. This anime isn't rushed like you and others have been claiming. Simply put, you want everything to be explained to you through overly long exposition scenes. While we did have one centered on Kaguya explaining his plans to the princess they kept it straightforward, simple, and easy to understand. I got through this opening episode just fine while you didn't simply because you didn't take the time to understand what was being said and done.

Let me give you some advice. If you're going to reply to posts like mine expect that person to reply with a counter argument. More importantly, however, don't start arguments that you can't win or make statements that you can't support. It will only end up embarrassing you.
"You talk too much. Think too much."
"I don't care how justified you think your reasons are. I won't tolerate liars or thieves."
"If you're not going to be nice to me, don't expect me to be nice to you."
"I'm a soldier, not a superhero. Don't ever think of me as one."
"The world doesn't revolve around you. Get that through your thick skull."
"People who live by their emotions go nowhere in their lives. They only find misery.
"If you don't like the way your life is than do something about it instead of sitting there feeling sorry for yourself."
"You want something go get it. Period."

A new Isekai, and I wont deny that I look forward to it.

We have a really hot heroine in here, and she's already made quite the impression. With no real backstory, Kazuya just got yoinked into this fantasy world, and already became the king and is the fiancee of Liscia, the princess, I'm certainly quite curious to see how that romance plays out.

This episode could’ve been better if they had simply stuck to the source material. They crammed a whole bunch of characters for the sake of establishing their existence in the narrative and not much else, when they could’ve spent the time showing how badly the country was really doing instead of just saying it. They could’ve expanded on how hard not only Kazuya was working but the entire kingdom’s staff were working due to his influence (which is established in the novel). They could’ve fit a scene into this episode that will most likely be in the next one, but having it in episode 1 would’ve helped solidify Kazuya and Licia’s chemistry even further than their first meeting did. While I wouldn’t go so far as to say this episode sucked (it’s only the first one after all) I will say that it didn’t live up to my expectations (though really, what adaptation truly does?).

edit: removed some bits for irrelevance, was gonna make a completely different comment when I realized my knowledge of the series doesn't really matter here lol

Hmm... I thought this would be more serious. Even Shield hero was more serious than this anime (first episode). It honestly felt like they're rushing. Everyone seems to be accepting, accepting, accepting decisions/changes that are normally NOT accepted with such ease and carelessness.
Summoning a random person, making him a king in 3 days!, giving him a princess, letting him rule the nation as he pleases basically. I guess this show will not try to take itself seriously and everyone will just accept changes and the hero - Easy Peasy. Since the focus of the show has to be economics, I still wonder how the hero will revitalize the nation's economy. Hopefully they'll take this part seriously and we won't have some "undiscovered gold mines" that pop up out of nowhere and that's how hero will fix the problems and shit. I want improved infrastructure, roads, sewer systems, schools, hospitals, factories, irrigation, national bank, improved taxation... Please don't be a cheap crap and explain to us viewers how shit's done with... "hero spent 3 days reading papers and that's how he figured out how to fix most(all) problems inside the nation - the end" THIS kind of "explanations".

The king just handing over his position to the summoned hero is the most unrealistic thing ever! Also the info dump, I almost fell asleep listening to them. Still seems a bit better compared to game-based isekai.

I do get what you two are saying but you're both forgetting one thing when it comes to adaptations, especially in anime: Time constraints. If either of you have done any kind of film making you would know how much of a nuisance this is especially when it comes to fantasy setting. J.C. Perhaps Staff could have gone without an OP in this opening episode since they didn't have an ED but even then there's only so much you can do without the amount of time you have. We're talking about a twenty-three minute episode after all. If this had been a fifty minute episode then it probably would have been perfect, but this is what we got so far and I'm totally fine with it.

The purpose of the opening act is to give the viewers a decent idea of what the setting is, who the characters are, and what the story will be about. This first episode succeeded in all three subjects and I got no complaints. It did what it needed to do without overwhelming the audience with a massive info dump. If they included every single detail then a lot more people would be complaining, "Too much info! I don't care about this stuff! I want more action! I want more waifus! I want more fanservice!"

You see what I'm getting at? Just give the audience enough to digest for now and give them more later. To be honest I'm more worried that they'll forget about what the story was originally suppose to be in favor of providing more fanservice as the series goes on. This is J.C. Staff after all and they're notorious for their fanservice.
"You talk too much. Think too much."
"I don't care how justified you think your reasons are. I won't tolerate liars or thieves."
"If you're not going to be nice to me, don't expect me to be nice to you."
"I'm a soldier, not a superhero. Don't ever think of me as one."
"The world doesn't revolve around you. Get that through your thick skull."
"People who live by their emotions go nowhere in their lives. They only find misery.
"If you don't like the way your life is than do something about it instead of sitting there feeling sorry for yourself."
"You want something go get it. Period."
