Compared to *most* isekai and overpowered mc, this is actually a breath of fresh air. I like it!
It starts of uniquely, with the heroes straight up losing and having to regroup.
That is good -- and weird at the same time because they dispersed without plan just to plan to regroup again. 😅
Anyway. I love the overall concept of bonds and the "you don't need to do it alone" kinda thing.
I just wish they expounded on that more. Like, they should've focused on everyone's contributions to really drive the point that you need more than just Yuri or Aram to beat the Black King.
Overall, it's not perfect but I like the art, animation and pacing. It is a good watch.

when i started watching this i was completely lost. halfway into the first episode, i had to double-check to make sure there wasn't a previous movie or show that i was missing. the anime was really confusing at first, a bunch of information is thrown at you and it's kind of confusing.
it doesn't really get better from there either. sure, it's a unique story, but it follows the super standard hero stereotypes and it's just a turnoff from the show. the ending was completely guessable and a bit of a letdown.
i will say that the fighting scenes are actually pretty decent. they're in a different style, but pretty cool to watch.

well im understand why many ppl review it lower than average.
actually when im watching this anime for the first time, im not looking anything, yes anything. including any synopsis on wherever you watch it or maybe in this MAL.
im just like a little kid want to see what happen next, yes my curiousity become the standard my review.
well the story its just like another plain adventure saving the world. but when i know this is like game adaptation, im using my imagination. yes dude, use ur imagination.
like what happen when you become one of his squad. and become three point of view on this story.
well actually im enjoying what happen next when im watching this, but unfortunately im not quite liking the end of this anime.

Recommendation: Skip it if you aren't a fan of shounen cliches or have zero tolerance for CGI, but otherwise this is one of the better recent video game adaptations you'll see.
You can start off by ignoring the show description that's on this site, it does not describe what happens in the series at all. It has nothing to do with other worlds or anything of the sort. Instead, the series opens with Yuri, the main hero and leader of the coalition seeking to stop the Black King from destroying the world, being utterly defeated by said Black King. Much of the first half of the series chronicles Yuri's attempts to cope with the pressure that he never wanted placed on him, as well as his guilt at failing to stop the end of the world and his attempts to put his coalition back together for one las…

MY LIBERATION
What happens when a mobile game adaptation decides to fling you into the final boss battle and LOSE?
Chain Chronicle: Haecceitas no Hikari is an ambitiously "decently" well executed anime adaptation with great world building and characters of a mobile game but...
Well let's start off with it's plot, aforementioned, the main cast of characters, that is the Volunteer Army helmed by Yuri voiced by Akira Ishida tries and failed to defeat the Black King, brushing their wounds and with Pirika the Navi- *ahem* Gacha func- *ahem* the Chronicle embodying the titular Chain Chronicle, disappears. It's not until Yuri befriends Aram voiced by Daiki Yamashita that Yuri tries once again to reform the Volunteer Army and take on the Black King again.
Now with the premise itself is an intr…

An anime with potential that would make a big success if someone cared to explain what the f*...k is happening in this show.
As long as you watch the first 10 minutes of the first episode you start googling looking for the previous season.At least that's what I did.
Guess what???!!!! there's only one season.
If you haven't play the game you're clueless of what is going on in this anime and if you hope to get a descent explaination afterwards through flashbacks you'll end up empty handed.You figure out some stuff but as long as the anime ends you end up with more questions.
Why Aram has that f***g light?how the black king became the black King?Has phoena any real power??
Also I didn't like the fact that the main char is being cast aside half way through.Unless due to little info I misun…

I don't get it, why did they bring the book and the sprite, the two things the king wanted??
it's not a spoiler since it's literally the first thing that happens. After watching this series I still don't get it, why did they bring it in the first place? Like, wtf. Sure, let's go to the evil king and bring the two things he wants, that's a sound idea of course. What is it with shounen and idiocy?
In any case it's the same thing, bad guy, good guy. One reviewer said that it's hope vs despair, but it's still pretty shallow in its delivery. Demons want to destroy the world, sure, how will they eat tho? It's not sustainable, tsk tsk tsk. Hipsters had it right I guess.
It's something you've seen before, people with beautiful hair wielding big swords. Bangs will get you killed you know, tie y…

Let's start this off by categories. I'll keep it nice and clean for a fast review.
Story:
The story was rushed. It felt as though it was crammed into 12 episodes without a thought of going above that. Overall, I gave it a rating of 5.
Art & Sound:
Friends raved about the artwork and sound is fairly good. The CG was nice but I felt as though it was overused in some parts of the anime.
Character:
Very confusing. To put it short, one character takes over the show while the other character is put on the sideline. On top of that, there were just too many characters crammed into a tiny season.
Enjoyment:
Durable. It was enough to keep we watching throughout the season to complete the anime. The storyline was poor as well as character.
All in all:
Do I regret watching this anime? No. It wa…

ENG-The story is pretty classic and boring. The hero who believes in the hope that must beat the great villain of despair with the power of friendship. It's seen and already seen.
From an artistic point of view, this anime is rather good. The animations are fluid. However, there are some errors in some passages.
The sounds and voices are also good. Despite the fact that in my opinion Ishida Akira (whom I admire) is not meant to be Yuri's voice.
The characters are very numerous and detailed: congratulations to the character-design team who had to work very hard.
I enjoyed this anime because even if it is a basic story, it remains good and pleasant to follow.
FR-L'histoire est plûtot classique et ennuyante. Le héros qui croit en l'espoir qui doit battre le grand méchant du désespoir à l'aid…

I am still searching for an action fantasy anime that will literary blow my mind with its awesomeness, and believe it or not, this anime had potential to do so. But man, they really screwed up the anime at some points and made it a little less enjoyable than I expected it to be.
PLOT & STORY LINE 📜
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first and probably the major issue that this show has is that the first episode looks like a mid-seasonal highlight. You play the episode and out of nowhere you have the protagonist fighting alongside his companions against the main villain of the show. He wants some sacred book, the world is becoming dark, some fairy (that seems very important) suddenly disappears…

Despite a rather simplistic storyline and transparent events, the series as a whole meets everything you're looking for a in a "good vs evil" shounen sort of anime. The narrative begins at an end and continues from there, fulfilling its own promise of an unending battle of hope and belief against anguish and doubt.
A boyhood adventure told through an epic narrative, Chronicle will no doubt disappoint someone looking for a groundbreaking, genre-defining series. It never promises to be that and the first few minutes of the series make that evident. The rogue, the tank, and the fighter, supported by their healer and the feminine foil confront a great evil and despite their wholehearted efforts, they fall short. So begins our story, an "Odyssey" rather than an "Iliad". Like the greater epic'…

But please, hear me out.
I decided to write a review after episode 6 left me in tears.
(Skip this part if you don't like background stories)
Man, this brings back memories. I was one of the few that enjoyed the English server of the mobile game. The strong suit of the game is the story itself. I was truly immersed on the world of yggdra through storytelling alone. My heart broke into pieces when I heard about the server shutdown. By that time, the devs made all map energy cost into 1 so everyone can "Enjoy" the last moments of the game.
I didn't. I uninstalled the game right after hearing that.
By no me…

Okay let me say first that i really enjoyed this show so i'm obviously biased but who cares if i'm biased?
The story is simple and philosophically deep but lacking at the same time, that's probably the only weak point of this show for me. I really do wish they do more on the story department but given the source material, there really wasn't much.
The "Black King" starts with the concept that "the world will end one day". Which is true, we know everything and everyone dies. Even the Sun that can lives for billions of years will die one day. *Everything is destine to ends* that's the message.
But another thing is also true, we as a humanity will try to survive even if everything is going to end, even for only a small amount of time. Which is "Hope" represented by the Protagonists.

CHAIN CHRONICLE ANIME REVIEW
I'm writing this after marathoning the series in one go. As well as without the knowledge of the Movie adaptations nor playing the game of Chain Chronicle.
Chain Chronicle: Light of Haecceitas revolves around Yuri, Aram, Phoena and the Black King Suppression Army in dealing and fighting against the Black King and his Army.
In the first episode, we saw a glimpse of Yuri and the others losing to the Black King. So basically, the whole plot of the series is gathering back again the others in order to try to defeat again the Black King. Did it went smoothly the second time around? Find out for yourself.
Like I said before, since it was based on a game don't expect much of a storyline. Though the story ins't that great and kinda feels pathetic, the ani…

Mobile game adaptations are few and far in between, and they all fall into one of two categories. Either they're of average quality yet manage to garner a huge amount of popularity due to its characters (Kancolle/Love Live), or no one gives two shits about them because they're so bad no one cares (Girlfriend Kari). So, how does Chain Chronicle, the lovechild between Alim and Sega that no longer has any global servers on the west coast because fuck you westerners, fare in all of this?
Story: Alright, because the anime doesn't give any context, and various synopsis' beyond "This is an adaptation of a game" definitely don't help, here's the story of Chain Chronicle in a nutshell. The world has the looming threat of blackness threatening to cover the world in its evil. The Black King of all o…
