Few artists have been as brave as the creative staff of Ulysses: Jeanne d'Arc and the Alchemist Knight as to ask the tough questions, like, what if Joan of Arc was a thirsty loli, and also, you could buy drinks that are supposed to taste like her drool?
I think I'm on a watch list just for typing that, now.
Ulysses, which is all I'm going to call it from now on because that name is entirely too long, is what I personally like to call a "big tiddie anime." You are here to watch this show for, frankly, one reason and one reason only. It is full of waifu bait girls, most of them generously endowed as, in fact, the English end credits VA likes to point out. This show is not here to make any illusions about what it is, and what it's for. Sexual elements permeate it. The sloppy and often graph…

This is good anime.
if like me you'll be turned off or disgusted by misused of histories personality right off the first episode, i'll still recommend the anime as it was unpredictable until the final episodes. The art and animation too sometimes suddenly drop greatly in quality.
To help you, i have created a false backstory to help explained the misused of history. I'm not trying to plagiarized the creators work, just trying to help those who drop this anime just cause of the first episodes, especially christian.
"In the modern future humanity had faced extinction.
Before humanity could perish they created the God Race equip with the knowledge of humanities history so that The God race may create a better world i.e utopia that won't repeat humanity mistakes that led to their extinction.…

I gonna say this before writing the review You should watch three episode and decide to whether continue or not don't ever search for MAL or any other kind of reviews you get to choose and you decide .
Well where should I start mc is weak from the start weak means he don't have special power and he had 4 female friends none of them have special powers unlike that fate bullshit where everyone got stupid powers fight for some god damn trophy or something . this series in the beginning one of the mc's friend Arthur de Richemont (my favorite character in the entire series) was went to the war and captured by Enemy Don't worry she didn't get raped or nothing happen in the anime also even check the LN spoilers nothing happen in the LN also
So after she captured mc was studying alchemy to find a…

Warning: This review contains some spoilers.
In the year 2019, you would expect anime to have top quality animation at this point, but unfortunately, this is not the case. Jeanne'D Arc and the Alchemist Knight shows us otherwise perfectly in an entertaining way. Along with its many other countless flaws, this is the anime you would find countless copies of in the clearance section of a Five Below, if anime CDs were sold in American stores.
There is no need for me to summarize the plot. You find out what the show is about in the synopsis. However, what I will write about are the many problems with the plot. First of all, the plot offers nothing original or interesting that will grasp the viewer's attention. A war between two countries, has been done before. A magical stone that has the po…

If you're reading this and wondering if you should give this anime the time of day, please don't. Good news for you, I put in the excruciating time to see this baby through from start to finish and I don't have barely any positive takeaway.
Story:2
This show seriously lacks coherence. It begins as a magical take on historical events and progressively mutates into some bizarre lolicon/harem/adventure/almost sci-fi (seriously, what were those weird space lasers?!) without ever fully fleshing out any of the directions it limp-wristedly dabbles in. By the end you're left with a bizarre Cronenburg monster of a plot.

Nothing special here but it wasn't particularly awful. Motion wasn't great and there were a few moments where things looked kinda slapped together, this seemed to get prog…

This show starts as a strange alternate-history take on Joanne d'Arc, focused on a group of fairly bland characters, teenage French nobles (all mostly gender-bent version of historical characters, in an AU world when men and women are more or less equals). One of them, Montmorency, finds the philosophical stone while delving into the forbidden art of alchemy. He tries to use it to become immortal and gain the power to protect his friends, but ends up bungling the process and has to pass the stone onto a simple peasant girl named Joanne. Then, he decides to use her as a weapon to liberate France from the English onslaught and once more protect his friends who all participate in the war.
While copying a lot of stupid anime tropes, this would still be simply a particularly dumb, quasi-harem…

At first glance I thought this anime was appealing and worth a watch. But as the episodes went on, I soon realized how difficult it was to continue watching. The art and sound were ok in my opinion, but the story and characters need improvement.
Don't get me wrong, the show was different from others which i liked but just was not what i was expecting. I did finish it after taking a week break from the last few episodes and am glad i did!
As to whether i would recommended this to you would be based on what your looking for. The genre stated is correct but i would also add Harem and drama to it to make it more acurate XD

I'd recommend this as one of those so-bad-it's-good series that's worth watching all the way through. It starts off simple, with magic and fairies. But after a while we're getting into these ALIEN GODS who control the fairies who don't want humanity to progress because... it becomes extremely 'Kingdom Hearts' is what I'm trying to say.
This is for you if you think the idea of a fanservice show with a convoluted name that gets sucked into its own bottomless lore hole would be funny. I mean, if you're already gonna watch the dumb, big booby fantasy shows it may as well be something that goes off the rails like this.
Amazing!

I'm French so it might be my national pride or something but this anime felt like an insult to Jeanne d'Arc, I really like this period of history and I know the story of Gille de Rais (Montmorency) and Jeanne so almost all caracter don't have the personnality of their historic figures wich is not really important if you can do a better caracter but they did not. Orginaly the king (Charlotte) his a coward, Jeanne is a little girl who became a general and lead army, killed people, and had the charisma so incredible she is still consider one of the most incredible caracter of our history and Montmorency was crazy about Jeanne so fucking crazy he killed babies. I'm normaly not harsh on anime but this one is just.....
So what did the show gave us?
The story : Kind of messy maybe they tried to…

Ulysses is an abomination that rose from hell.Its the one of the worst anime i have ever seen.It starts off consistently bad but than takes a darling in the Franxx route and goes insane .
Story-1
If I told you that the premise is about an anime version of a real life murderer , pedophile and rapist who makes out with a 12 year old girl to give her super powers would you believe it ?
WOULD YOU ?
So in order to clarify the main character
Montemorency based on real life Gilles de Rais (look him up) is an alchemist knight who has the power of the philosopher stone and can give super powers to certain people . Mainly a 12 year old version of Joan of Arc who wears revealing battle dresses. I can probably write 5 more paragraphs about the story but ehh.

Now , The art is bad. The character…

So maybe this show isn't perfect, but for a dirty joke filled adventure it was pretty fun. The cute little girl Jeanne receives a philosopher's stone and becomes super strong but the only way she can handle it's power is if she constantly drinks a special elixir which just so happens to only exist in the MC's saliva. What a concept! It makes for some really funny scenes. As far as I know it also stuck to the actual historical events fairly well. I know what you're thinking, a fantasy lolicon ecchi is historically accurate??? Well maybe not in the way characters dress and the magic, but it was a very creative retelling. The MC has a bit of a harem but it's like Re:Zero where pretty much all the girls like him but he picks a waifu and sticks with it. (It's Jeanne) And in the end they just wa…

I've just watched ULYSSES :JEHANNE DARC TO RENKIN NO KISHI and I wanted to share my thoughts and takes about this anime :
I absolutely loved it !! I would recommand the story because it is different : I believe what's makes the story special is the fact that the main characters are not overpowered, there is humor, and also dark content which makes it roller coaster of emotions and an enjoyable ride !
As for the story, alchemy and fantasy makes it more intresting because mostly everyone knows what happened during the Hundred Years War but here these magical elements make way for unexpected scenes and so the story becomes even more intriguing !
The music is also captivating and the piano is really great for emotional scenes throughout the epidodes!
I really like the charcaters developpin…

Ulysses: Jehanne Darc to Renkin no Kishi started very decently to me & ended up far better than it was during most episodes. My review will contain minor spoilers.
Indeed, the plot takes place in a quite unused period in a quite unused country. Usually France represents a lovely place or even the city of lovers in most anime but this time, please take a seat in the Middle-Age battlefields, opposing English & French soldiers. I really appreciated the... first 3 episodes because they introduced an interesting & original part of History (a major one though) with reverse genre - most males characters becoming (busty) females - and the addition of supernatural, magic and mythic stuff.
These first episodes really caught my attention, particularly because it seemed to have a darker atmosphere y…

DO NOT watch this anime. The gigantic oppais might tempt you, but my friend... it's not worth it. Instead of dishing out the fan service, it gives you a reverse boner, while simultaneously reducing your size by several inches. Yes, I'm not joking.
*Non-Spoiler Review*
The story is convoluted and will leave your perplexed at times. Not due to the sheer genius of it, but rather because it makes no goddamn sense in the first place. The majority of people on Earth could probably write a better story than this. One that atleast doesn't confuse the audience with random events and awkward storytelling.
The animation is clunky and unappealing. While the art style looks interesting, it is poorly executed. The action scenes, instead of being epic and thrilling, turn out to be kind of hilarious, d…

Last year,we has Fate/Apocrypha,this year,it was this show about the hundred years war,Ulysses.There is a common trend with shows that star the legendary Saint Joan of Arc,they fell flat and kind of suck.Ulysses, in particular, was exceptionally bad that I can't see any significant redeeming point about this show.So,I am going to review one of the worst anime of 2018 right now.
Story(1/10):Have you ever wrote a story before?Maybe as a student or as an author.One thing is for sure,this anime has a sorry excuse for a story.It is unbelievably bad that even a kid writing a story would write better.To elaborate,firstly,there is no proper transition between each episodes,rendering the viewers confused with what this anime is about in the first place,this means that the episodes feel isolated an…

"Good" is not a word LA would place on Ulysses: Jehanne Darc to Renkin no Kishi...rushed?..well that's an understatement.
Ulysses: Jehanne Darc to Renkin no Kishi is a retelling and reinterpretation of Jeanne D'Arc's life with Montmorency voiced by Ryota Osaka as the narrative focus of the anime where he wants to stop the Hundred Year War and get her friends back after 7 years of trying to make the Philosopher Stone.
Ulysses: Jehanne Darc to Renkin no Kishi's major problems lies in both it's plot and animation, first it's plot.
The plot first and foremost seems to have a serious problem with pacing, it's incredibly erratic but mostly rushed to say the least, things just happen soo quickly some without warning or character actions happens and immediately has an aftereffect or sometimes j…

Remember that time when Darling in the Franxx and Seikon no Qwaser almost had a bastard baby, but decided to have an abortion when it was clearly too late? Somehow the embryo survived and got raised by Fate/Apocrypha. Then, at the age of 9, it discovered that its upbringer and role model is not the only thing that exists in the world, and learned about Tokyo Ghoul, JoJo and FMA. That baby is Ulysses.
Jokes aside, I may be a bit too harsh on the show in this review, but it reflects my personal opinion and what I saw in the show. Some spoilers ahead, not that you should really care.
Plot: what plot? The plot, as the premise makes you think, is on a level of some pseudo-historical smut fanfiction written by a 12 year old edgelord, except I've seen better pseudo-historical smut fanfiction th…

History has a famous name and it’s Joan of Arc. As a heroine of France, she’s a peasant girl that became a commander with a level of charisma that few could match during her era. She's a village girl that became a legendary figure. But Ulysses is far from a legend. It’s a show that deserved to be burned by fire.
That may be a harsh thing to say and it pains me to actually mention it. But as someone who enjoyed the author’s previous work (The Ambition of Oda Nobuna), this was nothing short than a damnation. You’ll probably want to know the who, what, how, and why. And make no mistake, prepare for disappointment.
For starters, you should discard any historical facts about the show altogether. This is more of a mixture of fantasy, history, action, and drama thrown together. While many peopl…

History is always something that we tend to look back to in order to improve from the mistakes we have made in society and also act as a precortional tale. of course, history also spawns stories that can be seen influencing media today. Often times, media likes to bring these classic tales to the modern day to have a new way of telling the story. Sometimes they put their own spin on it to differentiate itself or to spice things things up. That last sentence is where we find ourselves today. A retelling of the story of one of the most empowering females in history with a twist of it being in a magical setting.
Sit back, relax and make sure that you drink some of that sweet, sweet elixir as I present to you the anime review for Ulysses: Jeanne d'Arc and the Alchemist Knight. Lets Begin.…
