You probably know someone who has impressive thoughts but struggles to articulate them clearly. They start saying something profound, but it comes out as one or two disconnected sentences that only make sense if you already know what they’re thinking. This anime is the equivalent of that person.
There’s clearly a much larger world and deeper story beneath the 24 episodes shown. Instead of offering a brief world map and political overview—which would’ve helped a lot—it jumps straight into political action and somewhat loose character introductions. It skips over essential background knowledge while, at times, going into unnecessary detail about less important plot points. It often felt like the show assumed the viewer already had prior knowledge of its universe.
As someone who’s watched hundreds of anime, many of them isekai or fantasy, I still found it hard to keep up. The show constantly throws out new names and characters, often expecting you to recognize or them with no context—and doesn’t slow down if you don’t.
Going in, I expected something along the lines of *Record of Ragnarok* with added world-building. What I got was a surprisingly political anime, mixed with confusion and a parade of character introductions that were oddly entertaining in their own right.
Despite all the chaos, I still give it a 7/10. The voice acting and animation are solid, the fight scenes look great, and the characters—once you figure out who they are—are actually quite interesting. I’m also hopeful that future seasons will bring more structure and payoff to what’s already been set up.
