Here we go again: why do companies like to promote games through anime adaptations? Because it's a lucrative business...doggone it, and aside from anime being the best medium to promote popular games in other countries (say the Korean-made King's Raid from Vespa, and now this Seven Knights one by Netmarble), IMO this has no right to exist because of the same tried-and-true formula that has plagued such game-to-anime adaptations of the past few years.

I probably don't need to waste my breath to say that the "original" hero story presented here, as is with other similar shows that have the "hero" name in their show title (which doesn't even come close to what the games are all about) is total generic BS. The timeline is as follows: MC enters school, gets caught by someone, thinks that he/she is a good person, presume all house-like hijinks (either school or kingdom), and when shit goes down, that's the sublime moment to act the good part with the MC being the secretive person with his/her own unique powers. The characters, albeit lifted off from the games, aren't likeable at all, and only act on whims as and when situations call for it. Yikes, the lowest of the low barrels have rolled off the production line once again.

Some props I'll give it for are for both the visuals and music. It's decent at best with a co-production between Liden Films and Domerica that is better than expected (the former learning from last season's atrocity that is Hortensia Saga, and the latter working on other co-produced shows this season, like Shakunetsu Kabaddi and The World Ends With You The Animation). Music is also decent too on the OP/ED, and that's about it.

Nevertheless, the bad magnifies the outweighing of the good by a lot, and if there's any interest garnered, you'd be better off trying out the actual mobile game for yourself, as opposed to watching the frugal anime adaptation which is a waste of time, money and resources. Unless there are game-to-anime adaptations from games made by Cygames (like PriConne or Uma Musume), never trust in future shows unless they have something to bring to the table.
