I will keep it short and straightforward. It starts off with a pretty standard and ok premise which made me actually go on to continue to watch this show. BUT, later on, it becomes an absolute clusterf*ck. What I think is the biggest problem is that the show tries to make some game of thrones intrigue plays which doesn't work at all. The characters make some overcomplicated plots just for the sake of the "aha I knew it all" moment which doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
Additionally, I have to say that worldbuilding is not only purely lacking but not present at all.

Maybe if the ... show had more episodes and had more time to develop the plot, world and characters it would've been worth a peak. But like this... I can't really recommend it.

So, a lot of people in the reviews are crying around about the bad ending, so I had to add my ingredients to the soup. First of all just because you don't like how a story ends story-wise doesn't necessarily mean that it's badly written, it just means that you would've wanted another ending even though it might have not made a lot of sense story-wise. In short, the ending was pretty foreseeable halfway through the series and yes, I was one of those people but I had to agree that it made sense how it ended.

As for the remaining criteria:
-The art was awesome, nothing ... to add there even though the animation seemed as if it was low on FPS and I had to get used to it.
-The soundtrack was not all too great but it wasn't bad either so probably around a 6/10
-I don't know if CD Red ran out of budget or why they chose to make only 10 episodes but it was definitely too short, which gave it a feeling that it was rushed to an end. If they had made 1-2 more episodes the story would've had a bit more depth.
-And last but not least for someone, who for technical reasons (my pc is too old :(), didn't play the game the worldbuilding was a bit overwhelming. A lot of worldbuilding elements that are also story relevant are never really explained which makes the whole thing even more confusing.

Now that I've finished writing this review after watching the show I'm gonna cry myself to sleep and get depressed over the ending over and out.

In short, it is a really f*cked up story but the stupid actions of the characters never made more sense even though I hated what they did. Therefore I gave the characters a 10/10 because even the char development was surprisingly good.

The story including the many plot twists, were so over dramatised that sometimes it just got ridiculous and even though you personally get involved by getting angry on the different characters for what they are doing, you just stop caring at some point (for me ch 7) because the plot twists and drama just become worser and worse.

The ending though was surprinsigly good for ... all the needless drama that went on before.

If you want a better and shorter summary here ya go: KING OF SIMPS

First of all let me add some genre tags:
Adventure, Action, Western Steampunk
Cars and Historical are rather optional.

This anime was the surprise of the season for me, I went in with 0 expectations since Cars isn't necessarely the thing I like but it was amazing.
In my opinion the focus is not on cars but more the engineering side of view it could've been a airplane or ship race.
In any case I absolutely loved it, as someone who loves decent adventure storys and not, "I'm overpowerd af and have no problems" "adventures", this was like finding gold.
Imagin landing per pure coincidence in America as ... an engineer and a samurai during the wild west period. Swords pistols and no money, what could possibly go wrong? Well a whole lot while travelling through America they live all kinds of stuff gain friends and overcome difficutys.

Admitted it might not be worth a 10 because it still have some flaws here and there, but as someone who loves this kind of stuff I couldn't help but encourage these storys with my good vote.

No spoilers

If you didn't read the manga: Score 3

The story per se is pretty standard isekai with op MC so something good to chillout a bit between two monster anime with 50+ episodes ;)
Well the story is an absolute flustercuck it's like going through a story based game and spamming the skip button on every cutscene, so hard that even the game doesn't know what the content of the story is.
In short: you would excpect to see the adventure of the MC when he wants to cross the super dark cursed (blablabla) woods, well sucks to be you because that's skipped like everything else.

I didn't ... give it a 1 for the simple reason that it still has some core story element. But well it would barely pass as a veeeery short summary.



If you read the manga: Score 1

To put it bluntly absolut garbage to say the least. There is missing a metric f*ck ton on story.
PS: I read the manga since the first chapter and its pretty ok. Well standard isekai thing nothing more to say.

It is overall a very damn good detective (hope I spelled that one right) story. They got some new ideas and mixed them with some already present mystery/psycological shows.
All in all I really enjoyed the show but I had one big issue during the show. It was obvious starting from the 2. or 3. episode who the main culprit was and that with the knowledge that the cops had. So it was just a lets wait till they find it out even though it should have been obvious for a detective with super deduction skills. But there were still some other mysteris that stayed unkown ... till the end, so I was happy to look it till the end.

Overall I would give it a 9 but because of some obvious plots (the main culprit) I would give it a 8
