Introduction This show with a Light Novel title is an Action Romance about a Soldier from a country called The Empire and a girl from The Sovereignty having many encounters with each other that made them slowly falling in love despite the 2 countries been at war with each other for 100 years. Romeo and Juliet basically The story is simple a young man named Iska is one of the best soldiers from The Empire and is sent to missions after missions to somehow win this war. He has a goal however that is to make peace with the enemy country and ending the 100 years of conflict. Meanwhile in The Soveirngty a girl named Aliceliese who is a princess of her country also wants peace with the enemy. With this common ground the 2 characters understand each other more and started getting along. How not to create a fantasy world The story is simple yet the world supporting it is very lacking in any lore or information. All we know about the world of this series is that there are 2 nations fighting. 1 nation is more technologically advanced while the other relies on magic. Thats it. Where are they? What are the people like? What other difference do they have? Nothing. Heck we dont even know their fucking names. The whole magic and technology thing doesnt even matter when you look at their cities. The architectures are the same. The culture seems the same. The people seem the same. It takes out the immersion and the feeling of being a real world. Im not saying every Fantasy anime needs this much information. But when its about 2 giant countries fighting over each other then give us something to easily differentiate the 2 at a glance and to make it feel like 2 real countries that are believable. The only difference we can spot is in combat. And not when we spend half of the season out of combat And the way it presents its world just feels cheezy. New information is added when its convenient. It doesnt feel natural. There are no previous indicators what so ever Characters Most of the characters are poorly written. They barely have any screen time to developt and doesnt have any motive to fight in this war other than they just so happen to be involved in it They only have 1 trait about them and then thats stuck to them for the entire series. An example of this is Iskas crew. It consists of a loli with big breast a redhaired girl who is just there and a guy thats trying to be the older brother type quiet type. Thats the only trait they have. They feel 1 dimensional and they dont feel like real people. And not to mention the boring dialogues they have with each other. The interaction between them just feels like theyre new colleagues mere acquaintances despite the show telling the viewers that theyre close. It doesnt feel satisfying nor entertaining. I said most because personally I enjoyed the fuck out of the 2 main love interests. Idk why but when theyre talking to each other they feel like an awkward couple being a tsundere and slowly understanding each other and more open towards each other. The slow progression is relaxing and feels just right for this kind of thing. This is the only thing I like about the show. Everything else is eh Its an action series but I honestly cant say a lot about it. Its fine. Magic vs Technology sounds cool on paper but 80 of the technological side of things use swords. The animation choreography... I cant say much about it to be honest. Its fine But yeah thats it goodnight. I dont know what else to put as a closer
