Madan no Ou to Vanadis

I love the anime. I love the fact that's it show battle strategy. I'm also interested in the way that magic is presented in the show. I have never seen anime like this one. I will have to admit the story isn't amazing but it's still really interesting. I would love to see more of the series and I would definitely recommend it to other people.

This show certainly deserves higher rating than 7.

For one, all actors in the story pursue their own interests, so there is no inherently evil non-characters.

Then, none of the commanding officers are incompetent in battle tactics. Even in case of silver spoon boy, despite being priory shown as a detestable person, he still implies textbook-class tactics and requires a few ruses to be beaten.

What brings us to the battles. All of them are well thought through, major ones even consist of multiple stages. Also, despite significant role of magic, they still leave a surprisingly realistic impression: the breaks for the night, numbers of troops participating, their equipment, banners, logistics, visuals, finally tactics - everything greatly contributes to the warfare's authentic feel.

Then, goes the magic, which also is handled well here: despite providing an immense power to the user, due to it's exclusivity, it doesn't become some omnipotent force that renders all other types of combat obsolete.

Broadening the scope, we come to the politics. This aspect may not be quite as sophisticated as the battles, but is still competently done.

Lastly, the story of Tigrevurmud, the young earl of Alsace who gets caught in a political turmoil due to power vacuum in the kingdom of Brune is well written and pleasant to follow. All main characters are likable, their actions are coherent and understandable.

In conclusion, it isn't perfect, but at the same time without any major flaws.

P. S. In regards to a supposed lasciviousness of the show, except for the character design, there really isn't much to it. There is barely five or six short humorous or awkward "fan service" scenes, like stumbling on someone in a bath and that's the extent of it. Not sure why people focus on it so much.

It is very good story but lost its essence because of over sexualize of it nature that takes away the feel of story may be it just for me. But most of time its too uncomfortable and unnecessary at lest 5-6 time nude like scene and most of them create no sense. If this scene execute better fell good then.

Female Counterpart is mentally weak. What is master and slave relationship. You know that probably but here master never try to claim its ownership, like the showcase hero(slave) piece every time. Just never feel like a strong character. Then actually main issue is Eleonora Viltaria strong by nature feel like week in front of Vron and however she suppose to be master but she never dictate anything on Vron which is slave. Like SAO here Viltaria can be powerful and dictating as Arusuna but Viltaria and other powerful girl just feel weaker in front of Vron. And basically make more better charter. I like to give 6 but actually good story earn 7.

I loved this anime very much..expecting for the next season..

I found this while not knowing what anime to binge next, so I decided to watch it. It's pretty good (not many clichés). While this is considered a harem, I don't see it as much. First of all, (I GUESS SPOILER EVEN THOUGH IT IS ONE OF THE FIRST WORDS SAID) the main lead is already "property" to this girl. The other girls that have fallen for him, Tigra, are more or less either ones that have known him forever or just take interest in him because of his skills (he is a very skilled archer).

The plot does get confusing sometimes if you don't follow along and watch/listen closely like I didn't. It was still really good and the animation itself is good too.

The voice acting is good. For the dub, there are lots of well known voice actors who are in it, and Tigra's voice is very soothing (at least to me). I would definitely watch it again if the plot was bad (which it's not) simply from the voices.

There's also a narrator that helps explain battle strategies to the audience as well as visuals on a map.

With a few small things that could've been better but I would definitely watch again.
