This show is mid on all fronts.
Story:
The story is somewhat interesting, but it feels like they are just adding a bunch of random characters to create an illusion of a complex story. Towards the end, a new plotline was introduced out of nowhere, rendering the first half practically irrelevant. The second half, in general, just feels like they are throwing a bunch of random bullshit in hopes of something sticking, possibly for the second season.
Animation:
The animation can't decide if it wants to be shit or good. A couple of frames will feature bold colors and lines with mesmerizing attacks, followed by choppy and floaty movement frames. It just feels like there are two animators: one good and one shit, and they are just splitting up the scenes without consulting each other. This lack…

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.

At this point what is not generic if the wheel is invented ???
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…

Story 9/10
The story of Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjou is full of coincidences and twists, but it is also incredibly well-written and engaging. The characters are complex and believable, and the world-building is top-notch. The romance between Iska and Aliceliese is also very well-developed and believable.
Animation 6/10
The animation in Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjou is average at best. The character designs are good, and the animation is fluid, but the special effects are often quite bad. This is especially noticeable in the battle scenes, which can be quite difficult to follow at times.
Characters 7/10
The main characters in Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjou are very well-designed and animated. Iska is a strong and likable protagonist, and Aliceliese is a complex and intriguing heroin…

Seeing as there will be a season 2 this year, I may aswell write a review before it comes.
Our Last Crusade (KimiSen) is one of the best action/romance animes. There is a perfect blend between it that I could not find anywhere else, even when I looked up shows similar to it. I have never rewatched an anime so fast.
I usually don't do summaries in my reviews (as I already assume you've read the MAL rewrite) but I'll do a short one. The two MCs, Iska and Alice, belong to enemy organizations. Iska belongs to The Empire, an organization set on destroying witches, and Alice is a witch herself. Through shenanigans, Iska and Alice fall in love, but they must maintain their feelings and their relationship of enemies in order to not cause exile for both of them.
I admit, it does sound generic, bu…

tl;dr: An anime that has obvious hints of Romeo and Juliet, but that is actually quite different and much more overarching plot oriented, though so far said plot is entirely in the build up stage.
This anime is often described as a Romeo and Juliet story, but I don’t think it quite fits into that mold. True, the main guy, Iska, is on one side of a long standing feud, and the main girl, Alice, is on the other. However, when I think of Romeo and Juliet type stories, I think of two people actually being in a relationship or at least properly in love and the issues that arise from that occurring in the context of being on opposite sides of a conflict. This very much isn’t that. There are definite signs that they are falling in love, mostly from Alice’s side to be honest, but it’s nowhere near…

Actually, I love this anime. I get the fact that there are a few things that make no sense, however, since i have read an online book (Flames of Love) from Hollowfiedwriter on wattpad, it has a similar story, actually, it is a mixture of My Hero Academia And Our Last Crusade.
In it, it is explained that the empire (the hero kingdom in the book) used their own people from the shadows to attack their own kingdom, naming that the other empire did it, so since then the war arose. The hero kingdom/ or the empire as the anime, wanted power. SO thats the reason the war kept going. However the poor local people didnt had a grasp of this so they thought it was just an endless war.
A similar story is in the anime, this might be one of the reasons. Its plot is good. but some things dont make sense…

You know what? I liked it.
I don't know if it is because i watched too many shit shows by now, but this one managed to be entertaining.
At first it is ridiculous how the coincidences happen, then it kinda gets funny, then it is hinted that there is a reason for it. I personally didn't like the two main character's personalities, i'm personally tired of emotionless heroes and tsundere heroines. But Iska's emotionlessness is kinda bearable, and Alice's tsundereness isn't annoying. And, unlike most attempts at this pairing, Iska and Alice do have a good chemestry between them (even though sometimes it seems one-sided towards alice)
I'd say try it. Chances are, it is better than most of the other shows in this genre. It is not THE BEST PLOT EVER, but it is interesting nontheless. If i can s…

I personally enjoyed the anime because i saw it for the wholesome moments and i like the idea of a soldier and princess of the enemy nation falling in love with each other but it normally doesnt end very well and this is an anime based on that but with swords and magic in modern era(kinda? since there are tanks,cars,missiles e.t.c).Anyways my recommendation is if your looking for a great story based on war between 2 nations then this probably isnt for you but imo the romance is good .Basically like the romance with a bit of awkward moment where they know they love each other but its not possible for them to confess because of their nation's conflict and try to hide their love for each other.I personally loved the idea and i hope the season 2(sequel announced so its probably s2?) will be be…

*Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World* if examined superficially would have been a great LN adaptation of a tale of two enemies bounded by the same desire to achieve peace, albeit each with his/her own method.
What could go wrong? Apparently, quite much.
The story lacks the depth and realism it needs to stand out. Instead of intricate plot lines, the story simply revolves around Iska and Alice constantly bumping into each other in unexpected and sometimes awkward situations. The concept of Neutral Cities was dumb to begin with. When an imperial soldier and an Astral mage (who have been enemies for decades) can bump into each other and stay chill, your logic is being insulted at.
The action in *Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World* could barely be called action. There were…

First, let me start by saying that, Last crusade is of course not a 1/10.
I watched this a had a really good time looking at the great animation it has to offer, certain fights are absolutely magnificent. That would be my first point on why I loved this anime.
The story is somewhat generic, but original animes are awfully complicated to find nowadays, but this really felt like I was watching Asuna & Kirito in an Isekai and I found that hilarious.
The story pacing in the first few episodes is perfect and they did really well to fit such action into only 12 episodes, but in the last episodes they introduced new characters & new intriguing events for s2 that just can't be missed.
Certain characters they created for the anime are all really interesting, but whats even more interesting i…

First of all, the ending theme is great.
It has a piano centerpiece and the music beautifully evokes the feeing of the story. Playing it on a loop would be not a bad idea.
What drew me to this anime is the main Romeo & Juliet like theme of
lovers in opposing sides of a war.
Finding your true love or soulmate (or "rival" as was cheekily used in the story) is perhaps a once in a lifetime event.
It was a challenge in Iska and Alice's circumstances,
but they still steadily moved forward, and I was moved and pleased by that.
Characters worth noting:
Alice - very attractive well-endowed princess with some sexy wardrobe
Rin - good loyal conformist assistant
Nameless - interesting technology based character in a swords & magic setting
Jhin - serious but quite capable member of the squad
Mismis…

This 12 episode series, while seeming like a generic sci-fi fantasy, shounen story that is typically chucked in with many other generic anime of each season, this anime actually surprised me quite a bit. I ended up really enjoying it for a few reasons.
Story 8: The story is your typical sci-fi fantasy action, with a huge war going on between highly advanced human military serving the empire, and the Witches gifted with magical ability serving their own sovereignty. The MC (badass soldier) and FMC (badass witch) cross paths on the battle field and discover that they have the same goal of ending the senseless war. While the story is kind of generic, it definitely makes up for it with its unique take on the Romeo and Juliet-like inspiration. I feel it is somewhat rushed as it almost seems to…

was OK but feel needs another season the romantic tension between the two main characters was a bit annoying and you wish they would just confess already but like how both want the same thing peace and for the war to end.
I enjoyed the VA cast real nice and liked learning about their world but feel things were not long enough. The character design was nice and the effects not bad, tho some things I wondered about with some of the colouring.
All in all, I think it was a bit bland but could be more if they made some more episodes and expanded on the story a little more.

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…

This is one I had hope for at the start... but that quickly drifted.
Story: Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World starts out with us viewing a rescue performed by Iska, a military sword-user. However, we quickly learn that the person he rescued was ordered to be secluded by his superiors. He's sent to confinement, but somehow is let out because the military needs his skills. The world is set where those with Astral powers (ie: magic) are the enemy of humanity... and we're not really given much context as to why. The rest of the serious follow our characters as they go on various missions.
I'm not really sure what the point of the series was, after I was done. Our goal is to watch this little "mini-war", but I honestly found myself enjoying the lighter moments, story wise. Many of t…

For the first third episode, the story entices me as the characters told the story about their world. It had my interest in the war that's been going on between two sides and how the main character had the same desire to end the war. I thought the story would mainly focus on the war. But as the story goes on I started to see the main focus of the story is on the romantic relationship between the main character.
The war looks like a side dish because there's so many weak plot point that is questionable or absurd. Among the weak plot is the act that had been done by a certain character and the character's role in the war. The story doesn't really engage as the story goes on, how they resolve every conflict makes me lose interest. On the character side, I mostly love their personality also…

I thought this take on "Romeo & Juliet" was pretty good, although I was disappointed with where the story of “Kimi Seisen” went.
I really enjoyed the synopsis of the story and the blooming romance between the two. Iska and Alice's interactions were very cute and I loved all the down times they had in the neutral city. Their relationship alone would've been fine if it was your average romantic drama but that's not the setting setting of the anime. We're told in the beginning of the first episode that these two countries, the Empire and the Nebulis Sovereignty, are fighting and have been at war for the last 100 years. With this conflict going on, it's impossible for Iska or Alice to enter a relationship but that's the thing: I don't see enough conflict!
Stakes are risen high every episode…

Girl's hot, mc's overpowered, what more do you want?
This anime is not for you if you are an anime elitist who rates animes poorly because they are not original.
If you are a person just looking for enjoyment and some lighthearted degen with cute characters and a respectable mc, then this anime is for you.
I have no idea why everyone hates on this anime... it may not be original, but it doesn't pretend to be haha -- it's great the way it is.
I will not lie, the story is not the greatest, but it is very enjoyable. It's not the next Rezero or Akame ga Kill plot wise, more of a Gate + Romeo and Juliet.
