This could possibly have worked as a 24-episode series, but even then I can't imagine the massive amount of characters would be shown enough for me to give a pinched fart about. Having seven protagonists was sidestepped clumsily by electing the Anime Eyes™ Guy as leader and focal point with zero discussion or explanation, but all that did was make the other six Prodigies background noise at best and shitty plot devices at worst--to the conclusion that the idea of being group isekai'd was just a gimmick. Then there's Elf Ears Girl (giant boobs!), Monkey Tail Girl (no boobs!), Neko Ears Village (all colossal boobs!), Pure-Hearted Knight Girl (regular boobs!), and Japanese Empire Girls (massive boobs!) to worry about, but that's not even taking into account the antagonists.
And the antagonists are what happens after a caricature, after a bad joke long worn out, and after everyone has died from forehead slapping. MONARCHY BAD. ROYALS BAD. BAD. EVIL. There is negative zero room for even a zygote to misunderstand that these are TURBO BAD people who just want power and to torture the common plebs for no reason other than they are BAD PEOPLE. We're talking divided by negative zero levels of nuance, because democracy is the only way of governing people and it works 100% of the time because it was written in the DNA of everyone at the moment the universe came into existence. Now don't forget folks: democracy is ALWAYS GOOD. Monarchy is ALWAYS BAD.
Anyway, I mentioned boobs earlier because about 5% of all frames in this show are close-ups of jello-like anime milkers. It's not even good ecchi, or boring ecchi, or painful ecchi, it's goes like "here's a conversation characters are having, but literally the camera is only showing their boobs." It's like episode directors got yelled at by the studio president in conversations that went something along the line of "I TOLD YOU TO PUT TITS HERE, NOW DO IT REGARDLESS OF THE SCENE. NO, I DON'T CARE JUST DO IT."
What a total mess. The show just feels like a soapbox monologue by a high school kid in government class whose arms are shaking hard enough to be detected on the Richter scale. It didn't have to be either. There's nothing new or original, but the budget was obviously high enough for good animation, voice acting, music, and sound effects. I don't know where it went wrong precisely in its development cycle, but everything after "hey let's make this into an anime" was a failure.
