Mixed Feelings
I wish I liked Majestic Prince more, I really do. Initially I ignored it after the first 5 episodes because it aired the same season as Kakumeiki Valvrave and Suisei no Gargantia, and Majestic Prince was far less captivating and engaging than those two. (And man…hoo boy…look how those two turned out…I guess style and shock doesn’t always create substance, Valvrave) However, when I came back to Majestic Prince, the sad truth that is while it’s not a bad series, it lacks a lot of qualities and just becomes a forgettable (and unfinished) memory.

Majestic Prince knows the tropes and dynamics of its genre very well. It was clearly made by a person or team that understands and adores the mecha anime genre. At times, it’s refreshing to see Majestic Prince portray such an unbridled love of its predecessors. Almost every character is given at least one endearing or memorable feature or moment, and the series does have good ideas. But it feels, at least to me, like Majestic Prince is a story written with all of the love and technical know-how of the genre, but without some of the quality and ability of a better writer. Majestic Prince doesn’t really do anything that’s overly bad or disengaging, it’s just not interesting. It’s unfulfilling and simple, at times it feels like running in a hamster wheel as your eyes glaze over. Which is a shame, because if molded better, these elements could've been a lot of fun.

The creative staff behind Majestic Prince should definitely be given more work and another chance, they have a lot of love and creative drive. They just…should be paired with a more seasoned and accomplished creative head to better flesh out and solidify their dreams.
