This anime is the answer to the question: "What would you get if you let a high schooler who read Machiavelli's Il Principe for the first time in his life write an uninspired harem isekai that is peppered with banal Japanese nationalism and an inexplicable adulation of bureaucrats?"

Just like the first season of the show, "How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom" has little to do with realism or Machiavelli's work that it so frequently and cringefully cites. It is a generic harem isekai, where our protagonist's superpower is to be a high schooler from Japan who read Il Principe. He dazzles everyone in the ...

I am happy that everyone here may actually be coming here after watching season 1 or maybe thinking of giving it a chance, It pains me so much to see the blind anituber bandwagon hate for isekai these days, though some are deserving of it, it also leads to some very unique and amazing ideas like this and fabiniku (the other great isekai this season) being thrown under the bus!

Isekai is just an excuse at this point to get a clean slate, leapfrog, and create your own world with your Set of rules, this is absolute CRUX OF THE WHOLE ANIME IN THIS ONE genjitsu ...

I think this show scratches that itch left behind by Spice and Wolf, and Log Horizon, for me personally. I can take or leave action but I love politics and interesting dialogue. I think that's the main appeal of this show. If you want a lot of action or get bored when a majority of a show is characters sitting around talking, then you're going to hate this show.

I think it also avoids the classic isekai trope of an overpowered main character (At least personally I think it does.) I could see an argument being made that he's *too* smart but I think his explanations ...

It's bad. No other way around it. This weird mixture of harem wanna-be and person who is okay with killing 20+ people in the room while at the same time get flustered by scantly dressed "wives" of his is just not working out.

Further more, show is ridden with plot conveniences and doesn't really depict "realistic" behavior of any sort, despite the word being in the title. Last episode I watched (5) broke it for me. This episode is a good indicator just how downhill things are moving. Random characters we've never seen get killed while previously established characters get to live happily every after. It ...

I have yet to finish the season as it is still releasing but here are some of my thoughts.

1. It is a Harem anime.
I understand people like Harem but I specifically choose to continue watching but it is not a harem. I despise how the majority of anime in the Harem genre, in my opinion, is overly dramatic and overly sexualizes girls/ women. (Sadly, that is the current trend with most anime, which is upsetting to me. I understand that people can and should be more free about sex but there is a way to do it tastefully and harem often objectifies and ...

It was worth watching. I'll be eagerly waiting for season 2.
.

I really love this anime. Characters are unique in their ways. The story is fun and it is rare for this kind of genre. There is also a lot of knowledge inserted throughout the story and you can apply that knowledge in your real life. The art & sound are not top-tier anime but the quality does not drop throughout part 1 and part 2. The story and character can compensate for art & music. I really wish it will have season 2. If you have never watched this anime before, I strongly recommend to ...

If you've watched the first part, then you kind of know what to expect here, however I personally feel the second season is significantly weaker.

The art is poor, in many places it feels lazy and like they put in the minimal amount of effort, and the CG while not terrible is unmistakably sub-par.

The sound is average, there is nothing special here, nothing standout, in part 1 we had insert songs, here we don't even get that, we're not getting the 'song performances' that were a feature of part 1

What was good about Part 1 isn't as predominant here, instead, it mostly deals with the aftermath ...

I enjoyed the first season, I also have no hate against Isekai anime, I enjoy them a lot. I thought that it had laid out a very interesting foundation. So wow, was I really disappointed with this second season/half of the show.

I feel like so much went wrong here and by that last episode I was like like "bruh" what? That last episode really lowered the rating of the show.

Story 3
The story felt very blah and some of the things Souma focused on or went over I just started zoning out on. So if the last episode wasn't the way it was, I ...

This anime started out with so much promise, was actually doing something different, but now? Now it's just another stupid harem isekai and i'm done.

Maybe i'm being harsh, but such is the contrast between what the show is trying do (looking at the real world issues of running a nation albeit in a fantasy setting) and the absolutely moronic implementation of the harem trope into the show.

Early on they establish the idea that in this world marriages are polygamic with the wives and husbands sharing equal standing and are each free to marry as many partners as they so choose. Now you don't need to ...

-Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki-

As one of the isekai anime, this is an anime that is different from most other anime. In this anime, unfortunately you won't find much action, but you will be presented with lots of dialogue and the country's political life.

I think this is something very unique and interesting, because it happened in our own world (such as border disputes, international agreements, power struggles, corrupt aristocrats, refugees, etc which are problems that are still happening in our world today). I, as a person who understands these things and learns them, am very satisfied with the stories presented. there is also a ...

Despite the atrocity of Part 1 I was overwhelmed by the insane development this show had offered in Part 2

Overall I really enjoyed Part 2 of Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki so much that I binged watched it again. there's so much to appreciate in this part specifically. Before i was never invested in the story and characters but now I am especially when the war scenes happen to give off metaphorical meaning.

As we know the name of this show suggests if a mature civil servant got summoned to another world that was on the brink of war, how would they conduct themselves as ...

I did not write a review for last season so I'll log my thoughts on both combined here.

It is just what you would expect from an isekai power fantasy, with a bit of a political twist added on top. It hits all the usual tropes and cliches, and I'm not even saying that as a necessarily bad thing - I knew what I was signing up for from the start and it matched my expectations pretty well. Solving stupid issues in stupid easy ways because of his "other world knowledge" and such, it is just par for the course. Despite being easily predictable, it can ...

SPOILER FREE REVIEW -

This anime doesn't do anything revolutionary, this anime doesn't do anything special or unique and it doesn't try to be anything it's not. In a way, that's what makes this anime, honestly kind of a masterpiece. It's not one of the best shows you'll ever watch, it's not the best of it's genre by any means. But it's an incredible show with some of the most beautiful flushed out flourishing character design i've seen in a very long time. The story was great. The execution of the plot was terrific. The anime has it's own charm and it follows that charm and ...

The anime is extremely misleading in it's premise it exalts souma as a super awesome leader that does no wrong, his list of unrealistic accomplishments is endless, the writing took a serious dive from the first season discarding all character that are not part of the harem.

The first season had some actually realistic political intrigue and interesting story, but now souma is a merciful tyrant and all is well in his kingdom for some reason, though it has it's fuck ups.

The anime could have been so much more, but the writer decided that basing it on a combination of a retard book from a little ...

Epic, Awesome, Amazing, Wonderful, Out of this World, Woah. What more can I say? I just wish for a Season 3!!!!

The anime is outstanding since Season 1 I really like how they took care of their pacing and did not rush anything at all, but do everything in order explaining all that needs to be explained, I do not find their vast amount of information tiring at all, but rather I am in awe of the dedication and hard work they poured in it. Each of the characters, especially Souma is outstanding. The story is amazing. Again I want to say this I wish ...

Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki Part 2 (2022)

We had a good 7/8 until episode 13 came along and ruined the entire show with its mediocre display of absolutely pointless and unneeded expansion of a story arc that makes no real sense to include. Such vital information being withheld and theories that no one ever thought of. The story started getting a bit wacky but that took the biscuit.

The story is a continuation that gets more harem and less action in regards to the storyline. They seem to have given up with the meaningful expansion of making everything better in place of getting the ...
