This show is hilariously awful. New characters are added before the original ones got a chance at development, intelligent characters are dumbed down conveniently when its their turn to be killed off (ex. rushing the only land entrance with two people instead of thinking and using a war of attrition), and of course a bunch of characters getting sacrificed for the sake of Marrines "Character development" (or lack thereof). I know a bunch of average watchers that are easily entertained will find this show great, but my god, I can't bear to watch this trash any longer. I hereby banish you to the dropped list "Grancrest Senki".  |

Netami00 said: I'll probably get banned for this or some bullshit but fuck MAL seriously what's with this userbase. 6.64 rating on this amazing anime that's after this episode is a clear AOTS. I love a lot of anime this season but this one just took the cherry on the cake. When I see the top reviews 3/10 another 3/10, 5/10 and another 3/10 my blood fucking boils. First I don't get why they're so apprehensive of the pace of this show at first it might seem rushed but it's just so filled with action, drama, romance. I'm guessing the pleb don't like it when their animu isn't some garbage LoveLive or other alike and doesn't have the uguu's or other cancer. Some idiot blames the show for turning dark and rapey... ofc it's better if it all stays pure and innocent like 95% of seasonal anime trash. Don't get me wrong a watch a lot of stuff and I enjoy a lot of it often it is garbage but enjoyable garbage. This show tho... this show is a fucking hidden gem. On one hand we got this innocent and pure love that ACTUALLY PROGRESSES in the story between Theo and Siluca on another we got Marrine's sacrifice, how she was willing to give her own body away just to win the battle also sacrificing her chance at happiness and on yet another hand ( yes three hands, sue me) the absolutely heartbreaking scene with Villar and Margaret we got this episode. I'm just flabbergasted at how low rated this show is when Violet Evergarden is at what 8.44 ? I enjoy it but man it never made me cry let alone feel much. It's pretty I give it that and it tries hard to be something more imo but it's just superficial... This episode of Grancrest... jesus... the scene with Edokia and her husbands, i cried. I only regret we did not get to see more of her. The reverse harem royalty thing was very intriguing but their sacrifice at the end that they all loved her and she loved them all but they all wanted to protect her and go back to protect their children T_T Villar and Margaret tho... that hit even harder. The scene where they first kissed knowing this is the end, preparing for the final stand, finally being allowed to be true with their feelings T_T Then the battle scene.............. I'm speechless but I'm not, I wanna scream. It was so beautiful, ephemeral. Margaret literally gave her everything to Villar her body, heart and soul. Burning herself in the process until nothing but ash remained... and then Villar trying to catch her fleeting pieces. ;_;7 I can only clap. Bravo Grancrest Senki for breaking out of the mold of this stale anime industry. I applaud you and am eagerly looking forward to next episodes. I could keep talking about this show for ages and next time I hear someone say Theo is a shit MC I'm gonna slap their brains out. I should write a review but maybe I'll wait till the series is completed those 3/10 4eps in morons can go burn in hell. This show is easily the Game of Thrones of anime and Marrine is the Joffrey god how I hate her and Milza ;D I mean...Your trying to twist it into some sort of ultra-poetic anime, and I hate to tell you this but, it's really not. Its an average (at best) anime with a lot of convenient plot devices used. The "surprising scenes" are really just scenes fully focused on shock value at a meager attempt at keeping the watcher hooked. A lot of people assume that because everything isn't going dandy for the good guys, that the anime must be good, and wow could that not be more wrong. The same convenient happenings that happen for the good guys in your typical trash-average anime are simply just turned around and used for the bad guys in order to stir shock value in this anime. Killing off some of the only fleshed out characters in a 24 episode show before we have even hit episode 12? That's how you know your watching a show that is baiting it's watchers under the assumption that they are bored enough to enjoy terrible plot events. Bravo to the people giving 2's and 3's because that is what this show deserves. |

Klickor said: Seriously, why cant anyone in this damn series defend? Why even have castles and defensive positions if you never use them? Why all the stupid suicide charges? From what I have gathered its a very densely populated world with short distances so actually using defensive positions and waiting for reinforcements should be a valid strategy, yet we see all these castles and fortresses and no one trying to drag out a single battle? We are talking about a continent spanning war going on and on for years and no one has ever thought about attrition????????? Remember the stupidly huge and powerful ship that can out range the enemy with its huge cannons? Trying to stay at max range and inflict maximum damage and perhaps then do a suicide charge and explode would be a good idea but start of by losing its only advantage against a 1000 ship fleet by meeting them? WTF!!! And while Villars and Margarets charge was quite nice it was pointless. The castle was still assaulted and everyone killed from the looks of it so why couldn't they defend and use their powers/skills to prolong the battle and inflict more casualties and maybe get reinforcements and even survive? And why does Milza use a fucking tiny dagger and no armor on a battlefield against knights in full armor wearing spears and long swords and still slaughters everyone? Couldnt they at least give him a real weapon or just kill people in the shadows with that knife. Now he just looks way to overpowered to be interesting at all. I like that the altkirk navy is lightly armed, stupid to run on a ship with heavy armor, finally something that makes sense in all the stupidity. If this was a game and you could play as a third independent party it would be so fucking easy to abuse the stupidly bad AI everyone has. Probably easier than have idiots for allies. This is the only reason Theo have a chance at becoming emperor, everyone else is so damn stupid and inexperienced in warfare. No one survives long enough to learn anything despite this huge war that has been going on for ever. And shouldnt there be a huge outcry somewhere when Marienne used the equivavlent of a weapon of mass destruction? Both on the Union and Alliance side should have been against that and rushed to help Villar. This series could be so much better if they just fixed these things. Same people could still die and story progress the same way but in a more believable way. Grandcrest Senki sure likes to romanticize things, like how the whole castle seemed to be more on the fancy side and less of a fortress. To that end, there’s a lot of questionable tactical & strategical decisions involved. Like how in what I hear is a densely populated world, no one seems to be competent or at least attempt some attrition strategies, which would be great here as short distances means reinforcements arrive fast. We could’ve arrived at the same outcomes for everyone involved, but it’d feel like the defeated ones did their best. HOWEVER, when it comes down to actually executing these events, this anime is pretty damn good at it and manages to make the deaths, the goodbye kisses look so grandiose. Also, I think it was fairly in-character for Villar to go out like this, (in a rather beautiful manner as he’d prolly’ put it) rather than clinging on to his life & subjects for as long as possible – it fits a part of him, albeit also comes out as a more willingly incompetent side of him that we didn’t see early on. After all, we did start off the ep with Margaret asking “How shall we loose? |
| Villar was the truly man who should be respected and gave authority to those who followed him. I'm pressing F for respect. I always liked the series, even the scene for which ppl said "rape" for me wasn't smth bad. Still like Marrine even she's create to be badass antagonist with Milza by her side and it still give me a lot of entertainment with every episode. Thanks goodness for the 24 eps. This anime is not managed well, but if you not have high requirements about random fantasy series Grancrest Senki can be enjoyable very much.. |

| It's a slaugtherfest episode! so many perished! So long Lord Villar! and the other loyal girls like the red head girl and the yellow haired girl...so many fodders! 3/5. ryanstrike said: Where is Aishela? maybe spanking her boytoy!? |

Kirigaro92 said: Seriously I hate Marrine, I haven't hated a female char in a long time. Wost girl of the year candidate here i agree, she is just too shallow, what her big motives to do that? and why she always assumes if she should not stay together with Alexis, and she always acts like she is the most suffer one. I hope his mage has hidden motive and betray her someday, that would be great... |

KgbWatchingU said: thanks for the info, and the one who commited suicide? (blond hair, near the throne) was it fake or real? dude can you spoil me more? Is there any chance that Marinne paid for what she did? Because i don't really like her at all.... |
|
| I get that they're trying to make this very dramatic but it feels a bit stale. If Marrine had the resolve to do a 180 and conquer the whole entire continent and kill or decimate her former love's half of the continent then she ALSO should've had the resolve to get married, and kill anyone that tries to get in the way of her marriage. LOL. Ah well. It's a tragedy sort of story so I guess this will keep going on. The real surprise would be a happy ending. Feels like random lovers torn apart every two episodes or so. |
xeco said: Crocospect22 said: dude can you spoil me more? Is there any chance that Marinne paid for what she did? Because i don't really like her at all.... now it adds more reason for me to hate this series, she is really a weak female character for me, what she did is just acting evil and being a victim because she always thinks there is no choice except that, and usually her people who always do the works, she mostly came in the end and take the glory, what a bitch, sorry for talking shit lol i just can't resist, thanks for the info btw... |
|
| Yes, hardly a good story, but i do enjoy the show though, i wonder why. |
| Liked everything but the conclusion. If that slut Marrine gets any form of happy ending I'm giving this one a 1/10. |
| IT*S THE VIKINGS!!!!! BLOOD And DEATH HAS ARRIVED! Looks like Harem of Lady Edokia is going to sacrifice themselves to give their Queen chance to escape and look after the children...her Harem looks like to be 1 of the best managed ones....they all loved her equally.... Villar......Margaret.......Salute, Pure Salute towards you.....may you find you peace and each other where ever place you go after this. You faced your end like true man and woman. May your Love burn with Eternal life even if Other World. Laura, your loyalty brings you honor....but suicide... |

| Wow. Not only do they kill of Lord Villar, they kill off the lovely Margaret as well. This show continues to kill off all the likable and cool characters, and yet NTR couple is still alive and kicking. Marrine is one of the worst and dumbest characters I've ever seen. Seriously. Fuck this show. |
| Sad episode, Villar díed, but he wasn´t the just, fallen persons and castle!!! :/ |
| Aw man, Villar was admirable even until the end. Definitely did not want him to die, but I guess you can't blame him since he didn't want to betray his bloodline or whatever. |
 ♔ caught in the wonder ♔ |
| My god this episode was brutal! I cried over Villar's death. |
 |
| Villar = HERO , Milza = FUCK YOU |
 |
| Colleen so cute. The Nordic Fleet Nation are coming. Marrine-oneesama? Who is she? Margaret so perfect. Edokia oppai. Joachim, you lucky fuck! OH SHIT! ALL DAT TONGUE! Dem legs. Dat oppai. Look after our children? NO!!!!!! Stop kissing Margaret! DAMN! Axe in the chest! Dat explosion! Stop kissing Margaret! Margaret can light my fire. No! Leave Colleen alone! Colleen!!!!!!! MARGARET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Villar is dead. Laura seppuku'd. My waifu's are gone. Margaret and Colleen. They were too perfect to die. WHY???????? I'll miss you Margaret.... and Colleen. |

This shit makes no sense to me u don't get human emotions and how dumb they can ppl make at time, if i were to go on details it would be long txt but i hope if u watched til the end it helped u undersdand it better |
| RIP main character, go home folks. |
| That scene at the end with Theo at the lake really reminds me of a certain Iconic beach scene lol |

| RIP Lord Villar and glory for Artuk! |
 |
| Too much shit has happened in such a short span of time, I'm almost overwhelmed with this incredible pacing of events so far, there's not enough decent exposition, which I don't say often lol, a lot of the time it's the other away around. |
| This is what defeat looks like, what the other lords felt when they were defeated by Theo but in detail this time to induce an emotional response from us as viewers. It shows war has no winners and everything is a power struggle. As long as there is a concept of victors, the vanquished will remain. |
