Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjou, Aruiwa Sekai ga Hajimaru Seisen

A force known as Astral power permeates throughout the world, wielded by astral mages. Fearing its destructive power, the "Empire" persecutes those who show their abilities. The tormented mages then founded the Nebulis Sovereignty to flee from their oppressors. Since then, the two nations have been in bitter conflict, the war still going strong for more than a century.

After committing the great crime of freeing an imprisoned witch, the talented knight Iska is sentenced to prison. A year later, the Empire leadership suddenly decides to set him free, with the condition that he hunts down a fearsome mage known as the "Ice Calamity Witch." Hoping to end the war, Iska agrees. Coincidentally, the Ice Calamity Witch herself, Aliceliese "Alice" Lou Nebulis XI, also wishes for peace and is willing to do everything she can to bring down the Empire.

As Iska and Alice both yearn for a crusade that will turn the world into one without struggle, woe, or pain, the strings of fate tie them ever closer together, creating a bond that goes beyond something fabricated by mere coincidence.

At this point what is not generic???
This is one of those shows that are simply good because it has funny moments, decent plot, fan service, etc…
If you want to see a light anime for fun, i think this would be a good choice.
I’m not saying this is the best thing in the world but it’s decent!🫡.
I’ll update the review once season 2 comes out. I don’t think it will be good as season 1 tho. We all know how the anime industry have been flopping newer seasons…
(I think this anime might be more for the male audience, i cant provide an insight because i ... saw it long time ago).

Very good art, drawings, sound, colors, etc…

Mixed Feelings

Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjou, Aruiwa Sekai ga Hajimaru Seisen or Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World, it's an anime that sets it's sights high, very high even, but it's execution to reach those heights struggles to do so. My short recommendation is that this is an overall decent show with very entertaining fight scenes, and great ideas for it's story, but it's story has execution that is rather messy and mixed. Fans of anime like Naruto, Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, and Moonlit Fantasy are the most likely to enjoy this.

Want more info or a deeper dive into this ... show? Well then here's the full detailed section of the review.

Let's start things off with the plot and story as this is definitely the most notable aspect of this show, for better or for worse. This show has it's own unique world that has 2 countries as the main focus for it's story, The Empire and The Nebulis Sovereignty. if you've already read the synopsis before reading this review you'll know that the Sovereignty was founded due to the Empire persecuting the Astral Mages. The Astral power these mages can wield is seemingly a genetic thing, as in those who don't have it can't use it, and those who do can. The plot focuses around the conflict between the Empire and the Nebulis Sovereignty, in a very military like way too. It's not a bad idea or plot all things considered, not the most unique thing but overall a good idea for making a good story with. However the other part of the plot involves the main characters and it's not quite as interesting, most would describe it as a "Romeo and Juliet" style situation, but I'd argue that it's not as good at that sounds. The show tries to pair Iska and Alice together, but does it in such a poor way that it ends up simply detracting from the larger war and conflict part of the plot. How does this happen you might wonder? Aren't they on opposite sides of the war? Yes, it seems there's multiple "neutral cities" which seem to simply be "city countries" or something that haven't sided with either the Empire or the Sovereignty and that's how they end up seeing each other. This review wont get into the part of how "realistic" that is, because the show itself doesn't really explain how they're neutral other than the countries haven't sided with either side. The main issue with the "Romeo and Juliet" like part is that these 2 main characters started out as enemies on the battlefield, and the "transition" it tries to have between enemies on a battlefield to a "Romeo and Juliet" love has them coincidentally keep running into each other for a few episodes after they first meet in a fight against each other on the battlefield. Each time they do the show tries to shift them to end up feeling less like enemies who are against each other and actually start to "like" each other to some degree. It tries to be rather comedic most of the time about them constantly running into each other, but it ends up feeling too forced and somewhat kills the "Romeo and Juliet" aspect a bit because in their interactions they never really act like enemies who fought and tried to kill each other in the first place. The other aspect of the plot fairs a little bit better but not by much as it has many of it's own execution issues. An example is at the very beginning in the first episode, Iska, freed a young maybe 13 or something year old girl with Astral abilities from the Empire prison. By doing so he gets sent to prison himself for it, and after a year they release him to fight for the empire again. This show basically never gave a good reason for him to decide to free her and get himself jailed, especially because he did it despite very clearly stating throughout the show that he does not wish to side against/betray his country. Poor writing and plot issues like this seem pretty common throughout the show, as it goes on the show still has things happening that don't get properly fleshed out or explained enough leaving the viewer seeing a character make a decision that just seemed flat out stupid. Overall the messy execution resulting in mostly a lack of detail and explanation for some parts of the plot and story leave it having high potential and a lot of strong points but largely failing to actually use them to the fullest.


Now to briefly go over the characters as there's not too much to go over here. For the most part the characters are very entertaining and are very likable. The problem is that pretty much every character feels like a plot device and they themselves are incredibly shallow with little to no depth. There is some attempts to add depth to characters throughout the show but pretty much every time it doesn't go far enough to actually do the job. On the whole they're pretty enjoyable characters but absolutely needed to be fleshed out much more and aren't anything to write home about.


Lastly lets talk about the production by Silver Link, overall it's very good, fight scenes are smooth and very well animated. The artstyle is good and nice to look at and it's well drawn too. The music isn't anything amazing but it's good and gets the job done well, the voice acting is the same, it's pretty good and gets the job done well but isn't gonna amaze you or anything. On the whole it's very well done production wise, it's not top tier or anything, but the animation is very good and will easily make the watching experience better and more entertaining given the amount of fight scenes in the show.


Overall it's a decently entertaining show but it's plot, story, and characters lack a lot of depth and detail while also having some other small issues. However despite everything it still manages to succeed in the most important area, and that is being entertaining. If the lack of detail and depth in it's story, characters, and plot are things that won't ruin the show for you then this will be a good watch, otherwise skip this look for something else. I will lastly note that this show sets itself up for a second season, and that many of these issues can potentially be improved upon and make for a better second season. This first season of this show managed to be decently entertaining despite it's problems and I personally enjoyed it enough to want to keep watching (especially for IMO the best character Lord Mask) but as a reviewer who tries to take an objective stance this shows execution problems and faults have it end at a 6/10.

Not Recommended

This show is pretty basic, it isn't that unenjoyable but it is very very incomplete. It's supposed to be a Romeo and Juliet like romance story, but the romance doesn't even develop in the entire show. Basically, the show fails at its main point, which is why I can't rate it higher than a four. The ending is not built-up to, and it feels like the show should've ended either later in the story or in the end of the second last arc that was covered. You can look at what my average rating is, and it is a 8.14 at the moment of writing ... this. In other words, this is the second lowest score I ever remember giving in over a 100 shows. If I were you, I would tell you to pass on this show. The military parts aren't that bad though, some of the politics seem average-written. Some of the characters are pretty forgettable as well (won't say who because spoilers) and by the end of the season it doesn't really feel like there was much progress. The show just didn't really go anywhere overall, and the characters don't seem to develop at all. I would ask you to not watch this show as it's probably not worth your time.
