Good concept, poorly executed.

Fantastic!

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Some people have compared this anime to Shakespeare but I highly doubt it is. Its really all about the knighthood although its not about serving the queen or king, its more based on the gang defending for themselves. The romance wasn't bad either, I thought that Ikki and Princess Stella were a great match really. I even liked how Ikki was indestructible in the last battle and yes seeing him get injured with a lotta blood is really not nice to see. However, it does prove that he is a bad ass fighter regardless if he is considered weak because boy god, he is not the type to be a weakling lol!The comedy, romance and storyline was good, not my favourite but its in one the good lists for me! I give this a 8/10!

How to begin..... first of, he main character. he has no depth to him than krito. he just an overpowered character for the sake of being cool. there so little character development for the supporting character. we only get just a flashback. and after they et defeated/save from jesus run. they suck his dick in a sense. i will admit that some of the scenes are great. But many of times the fight scenes docent flow?make sense at all. i bet the light novel is great but this adaption is just.. meh.

As you may wonder why a nine. even though this show is quite predictable. it has so much to offer that many TV shows and anime are horrified to show the public. If you actually watch this show trough it's episodes you will maybe know that it goes quite deep in the information that it gives about the abilities and feelings that people have for each other or in general. Also this show actually dares to defy the status quot so that is one reason why i give it a nine. because it goes beyond petty lust but actually makes this real and not so Platonic as in many shows now a days. yes it has all the same stuff that any anime has but not many shows go quite as deep. the ending of this show actually brought up feelings in me and not many shows can do that. so thank you creators. you didn't make a show that is the same as the rest because it makes money, you actually made a show that tells more than the mundane. Hope this review will make you watch this show, because it will be vert entertaining and maybe even teach one or two things. like effective communication and so on. just look at the show and enjoy it.

Yes, it is true there is nothing new under the sun - after all, we've kept reading and watching Shakespeare for over 400 years and haven't gotten bored with that yet - but what is interesting about a story is the way they develop it, particularly with plot and drama. The concept of a failed knight who is trying to work his way up is not novel (rags to riches and so forth), but they do it well enough here to be interesting. Stella and Ikki are neat characters and the plot line centers around them and how they develop their lives, their education, and their relationship, problems we all have at one point or another. Add a little magic and the occasional fight for your life, and you have an interesting story. It's humorous at many points, dramatic at others, and altogether an enjoyable feature to watch.
