Well for starters, its kind of like 86 ...Even how its published ...i mean they were obivously trying to make this a series but i guess we'll have to wait for that to happen ...
.
Now for the show its like Jormungand but less dark... but this world its no heaven..its different the bottlenecks created are interesting but at the same time are very boundary driven ..like a board .. but at the same time it can go boundless just depends in whose cover you are staying our mc or any other ....
.
And i know it would be great to have more of this but if this is a "Baccano" moment of this than too it was good first season the best this for me would be the characters specially the interactions of Solork & Igsem ..there chemistry without any romance just the shere brotherhood between two people who ge…

A young prodigy tactician and incredible swordswoman go through military trials and tribulations together.
STORY
The story brings 2 protagonists, which is interesting to see how fate will pit them against one another - throughout the series, it is foreshadowed that Ikta will die by Yatori's blades. The story progresses smoothly, is not crammed, and has time to breathe and evaluate what you just watched. Ikta and Yatori being forced into the military and becoming notable figures is a decent progression, given the two characters' individual values. The world building is mediocre, as the viewer has no clue what their empire is, how big it is, who they are fighting, etc. It is mostly "blank nation vs blank nation vs blank nation". The story is cohesive, following the protagonists in their ris…

Alderamin on the Sky is milquetoast, pretentious, rudimentary, and conceited.
Nothing about this anime feels particularly fresh or original. The story lacks an overarching plot, and the worldbuilding is too shallow to give the setting any real uniqueness. However, despite all of that, it's not a boring show. It’s a decent anime to binge, even if there are many better options out there.
Let me explain in more detail, starting with the good and ending with the bad.
The Good:
1. Characters:
The characters are fairly generic, but they aren’t unlikeable. Even tropes like Yatori (the stoic, sword-wielding female lead) and Haroma (the busty healer) manage to be charming and watchable. The main character, Ikta, falls into the “lazy genius” archetype, and while he lacks a bit of depth, he still…

The 11th episode proves that the redhead is nothing more than a brainless, obedient dog to royalty. She follows orders without question, incapable of thinking for herself. The MC should have abandoned her from the start because a mindless slave like her doesn’t deserve love. No matter how much he cared for her, it was meaningless—if royalty ordered it, she’d kill him without hesitation. His devotion was a pathetic waste.
The MC is a genius when it comes to strategy, but when it comes to love, he’s a complete idiot—he should have picked someone else. The only great part of this anime is watching him use his brains to solve problems. The story overall is okay, and the MC is pretty cool.
If you’ve finished the story all the way to the novel, congratulations—you’ve wasted your life. Same goe…

To be exact i would rate this with my first ever decimal rate review of my life, a 7.6/10. its closer to 8 thats why i rate it an 8. If you like Tensai Ouji No Akaji, this is a great watch. I’d like to say this is the somewhat i would call one of the predecessor of a nation ruling anime. I’ll break it down in a simple manner. But the major downside is the lack of depth to the story.
But first, i did genuinely underestimated this anime. I found this anime because of a clip and i start to judge this with “ah another perverted harem op mc, let me check the rate for this anime”.
And then, i was surprised by the high average rating of this anime. This reason alone pique intrest in me to find it out myself. For me, starting from 7 above is a high rating.
Lets start.

"Let's write a hyper-intelligent child strategist who's so superior that he doesn't even have to try."
- ok cool, how do we write a brilliant character?
"I dunno. I don't know anything about basic military strategy or logical reasoning. Just make the enemy comically retarded and have things work out. Also have him play chess. For worldbuilding, we'll just write that he is only the second person ever to understand the concept of logical thought. "
That's about all I have to say about that.
Art is pretty good I guess. The characters are all a slog. The story is silly at best. At worst, well, you get the idea.

The setting is some sort of medieval, not quite industrialized, with some sort of magical pets that have limited use.
While some people looked like in the stone era, a random scientist had a fridge or an ice maker...
Itka, got the cheat ability of plot armor that makes his plans work no matter how stupid they may be. Didn't hesitate much and obeyed to everything while hating his country without having an objective in his mind!!
Yatorishino, sometimes seemed to have a school skirt in the battlefield, she is OP.
Need someone to take out 2 swordsmen in simultaneous close combat? she's your girl. I wouldn't call this a flaw but some might, anyways we can overlook that most of the time but this plus the magical pets + the characters not having an objective + random ice cubes in a stone/mediev…

It wasn't great. 6/10 at most. I got it recommended from an OP MC list. That being the case, it wasn't what I expected - not quite the "OP MC" I was looking for. It was more of a Lelouch/Light Yagami type MC. Though the secondary lead possibly fell somewhat into the OP category. Sort of like Ezra Scarlet.
It's kind of a strange story, and just kind of throws the story into stuff. It's all fairly simple to understand concepts and themes though. It seems somewhat senseless how things go, though I suppose the same could be said about a lot of anime.
Most importantly perhaps the series seems to only cover what should be about 1/5th or even 1/10th the total story. It's effectively the story of a strategist and his friends in a brutal hell-ish war. Or rather, the lead up to that and barely sc…

This anime is honestly very good just because it has one of the best protagonists in history, if you like Light, this is your type of protagonist, he takes the series because it is very entertaining to see how he solves all the problems that are presented to him. And he helps his companions to stay alive. It's really good to see because I loved the construction of characters that it has but the second season never came out. I'm writing this like 5 years after seeing it and I still remember things that happened in the anime so imagine how good it had to be for me to keep remembering it.
En español:
Este anime sinceramente es muy bueno solo porque tiene a unos de los mejores protagonista de la historia, si te gusta Light, este es tu tipo de protagonista se lleva la serie porque es muy entre…

Hey everyone, Charmer here. It’s been a while since I wrote a full review, but this anime triggered me to the point of no return. Mainly because it’s current rating is almost an 8, which is completely outrageous in my opinion. Alderamin is like a beautifully wrapped Christmas present with nail clippings inside. Fairly speaking, the anime only manages to look good from the outside. Scribble scripting and nonsensical directing are just some of the problems this anime faces. So strap your seatbelts because it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
Story:
Alderamin is set somewhere during the mid 1800’s I presume, as technology seems to be making a breakthrough and primitive weaponry begins to emerge, but honestly, this anime is so whack that it might be set 200 years in the future, heck if I know. The…

I think this is one of the best anime sense it gritty, willing to kill characters, and is the most realistic war anime out their, at least out of any with good plot. 10/10 i mean the only bad episode was i be leave Ep 5-6 sense kind of boring though made sense by the end. If they made more episode or an OVA I would buy.
I do like that the technology. It is semi steam punk like in that it is inspired by the Napoleonic war era and the US civil war era.
All around if you like this anime i would also recommend "Overload" sense it has similar strategic vibes that this anime gives off and maybe if you like less violent smart methodical characters I think who ever like this anime might also like "class room of the elites".

I will try my best not to leave out any spoilers in my review.
Nejimaki Seirei Senki first caught my eyes with its unique character design and, emboldened by the high score MAL had given it, I decided to give the show a shot.
With nice visual art, well-placed suspense and sensible pacing, Nejimaki turned out to be enjoyable enough. However, there is simply nothing new to gain from this show except for a few minor aspects of the art style. Here's a modern-day Odysseus who, through his strategic acumen, finds his way up the military ladder. As commander on the battle field, he has a few trustworthy comrades at his disposal. What a pleasant surprise of a plot, isn't it? The protagonist fell short of becoming another Mary Sue, though, as the scriptwriter did try to throw in some promising inte…

"Orders in the military require you to put your feelings aside. Evey soldier must know that one day they may have to obey orders that conflict their
moral values."
Decided to pick this up after I left it unfinished a while back.
It has a fairly enjoyable plot and enough back story for you to understand the world. I am not particular fond of how the anime and manga ended but it does not mean it is bad, just not to my liking in my perspective.
All in all, it does well in keeping you interested throughout the series through Ikta's strategies and tactics. You will definitely enjoy this if you like strategic planning and how it unfolds.
I did not give a score in its sound because I am not particular about it and did not take my time to focus on its audio. For the visuals, I feel that it…

If you like story and world building his Anime fails.
The setting is some sort of medieval, not quite industrialized, with some sort of magical pets that have limited use. In a good example of world building the details of how things work and what's possible would flow naturally and the reader/viewer would have some means to understand what's going on. In this case it serves as just a lazy way to pull deus ex machina out of the writers rear. The opening arc has a couple of good examples. What the characters need literally drops out of the sky for them. That can be OK but it keeps on going on.
Characters, the other big part of story telling and world building. Could have been good, but fail. There is good character development, it's a little cliche but enjoyable. You've seen them before,…

This show makes a brilliant antiwar effort with some common antiwar depictions and some completely new angles on war and while it does so, it doesn't disregard war completely as the last resort for change, so big it can't be gained in any other way.
Some quick information before I get completely into this review:
I have not read the manga (EDIT: I have read the manga now and wrote a comparing review on the manga!) or light novel (yet), so I will rate this from the anime only perspective, while that is the case, I will talk about more than the anime when talking about the scope behind the anime. I will show the difference by talking about the 'story' (meaning the story in general) or 'show' (when talking about the anime only, without taking the bigger scope into consideration).

ABSOLUTE ZERO SPOILERS. Complete Best/ Short Analysis of this Underrated Gem.
GENERAL IMPRESSION AND CLEARANCE OF DOUBTS
My God, where to start? This show...what a show it was! This is the Anime which has been adapted from a Light novel by Madhouse, which is normally not a easy thing to do, But Did these Legendary studios did a wonderful job?! Damn.
The summary here on the MAL and even Title of the Anime itself is lil hard and confusing at times but please don't let that fool you in not picking up this series. All the things are pretty easy to follow once you watch the show itself. I too was resistant, But as Always going by my gut and amount of episodes only 13, made me to watch it.
WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS SERIES?
This shows is One of the Best if not the Best Strategy shows I've…

tl;dr: A pretty good and solid set up with an interesting and tactical protagonist, but that felt slow as it never went beyond setting things up.
This anime is centered primarily around Ikta, a tactical genius who wasn't really a standard soldier, in that he cares much more for people than country or glory. This gave him an interesting perspective on the things proceeding around him during warfare, not just in terms of strategies and such, but also how he reacted to the war around him itself. He was a good person, but was willing to do what's necessary without hesitation, as war didn't phase him at all. And he also approached everything, not just war, from a very logical point of view. As for the tactical conflicts, mind games, strategies, etc. I thought he did quite a good job at those a…

Haiku Review:
Underrated Show
Code Geass Meets Ginga Eiyuu
Go Read Light Novels
MAL won't allow only the Haiku, so I'll put in a useless explanation that you don't need to read.
Alderamin is a military show about the military genius Ikta Solork and how he becomes known as the Invincible Lazy General. Code Geass parallel comes from the relationship of Ikta with Yatori as well as the obvious military aspects of the show, but Ikta is no Lelouch. If anything, he shares more similarities with Yang Wen Li of Ginga Eiyuu/LOTGH.
While the anime is a great standalone adaptation, knowing that it is made by MADHouse and the way the adaptation chooses to relay major plot events are two great clues that it will never get a second season. It is a giant advertisement for the Alderamin light novel, a…

This is an incredible series with one fatal flaw not even the Lelouch clone could foresee: there is no conclusion whatsoever. Everything in Alderamin is geared towards successive seasons but those haven't materialized and it's been almost three years; I think it's safe to assume any further plot development is resigned to largely-untranslated light novels.
So, what do you get for the 13-episode time investment?
A meticulous world built around unique but similar technology, believable civilizations and the space they occupy, and characters with solid motives and backgrounds who are voiced to perfection (with the exception of the Captain). Most of the technology and spirituality is largely unexplained, but in my opinion this was deliberate as preparation for subsequent seasons in order to…

Tenkyou no Alderamin is at no means a fantastic anime, playing a stereotypical characters over a mildly generic plot. Though with that said, this series isn't bad, either.
The overall plot is separated into clear-cut sections, with nice closings for each, easily segueing into the next part. These play with the series itself, filling in nice chunks of storytelling without boring the watcher with drawn-out settings. Though some parts of the story have its flaws, mostly noting the presence of "sprites" in the series, which at most play a plot device which if defined well could create a better connection with them in the world-building, but that was not given.
Much of the art didn't create mind-boggling animation, but it wasn't entirely distasteful either. I personally didn't like the weir…
