It's not the most epic show ever, but it's an interesting take on a pretty generic concept: the main character who with a tragic past tries to stop warring nations with one applying more nefarious actions to achieve their goals, usually to capture more land and take over more countries. The setting is now in fictional interpreted historical Türkiye and the main character is a Pasha with an eagle counterpart. So as an avid anime watcher it's a good show to relax and watch. Of course many are probably more critical than me, but sometimes you need to just ease up and enjoy what a show does well with instead or else you begin to find little enjoyment in watching anime anymore.
It's not on par with huge popular shows playing right now like My Hero Academia, but that doesn't mean it's any less enjoyable. It's a slow burning start, but it sets up an interesting political system and society as well as establishing the beginnings of the characters.
Just because the studio isn't releasing a new season of YOI doesn't mean this show is bad. Yes it needs work, like most shows. But I think this is a show with good potential, if it were to get a higher budget and could take a longer time to plan out and animate everything, then I think this show could achieve even better results.
Overall, watch this show, it's good, the MAL ranking and stars don't serve it justice. I hope MAPPA releases another season should this first season only release 12 episodes.
Please support this show!
