Nejimaki seirei senki: Tenkyô no Alderamin

"Alderamin on the Sky" is a truly underrated masterpiece that deserves more recognition. With two amazing seasons, this show is a must-watch for anyone who loves thoughtful and engaging anime. The first season starts off strong and sets the stage for a captivating story, but its finale does fall a bit short in comparison to the rest of the series. However, the second season more than makes up for it with its intense plot, well-developed characters, and breathtaking animation. Overall, "Alderamin on the Sky" is a hidden gem that is definitely worth checking out for fans of the war and action genre."

After watching this anime I liked it pretty much. I even wanted a second season. But the sad thing is after knowing the story from LN I don't think it will get second season. Even I am pissed it had so much potential but made the ending trash broken heart of all the fans. But if you nonly watch anime then go for it. I recommend.

Alderamin on the Sky is based on a Japanese light novel, which was later adapted to manga and now an anime. I had read the manga and enjoyed it a lot so I decided to watch the anime when I stumbled upon it.

The setting is a Stem Punk Fantasy world with tactical warfare as the focus of the plot. It's the start of rifle age, with swords still playing a major part, air balloons are the next new thing. Also, everyone got some spirit companion who can do some neat tricks. The storytelling focuses on the journey of a recruit to becoming the highest military officer in the country using brains. We only cover the training of recruits and their first campaign before the anime ends just like the manga. I hope they spin out more seasons as this is one of the anime with some great characters and lot of potential.

I liked the animation, it was done up well all throughout.

Episodes 1-6 made sense, after that its all just battle battle battle, reckon, strategy and then some more battle until the very end of last 6 minutes in episode 13 when its finally over.

This is one of those bait anime's where you start watching with a promising story and end up watching repetitive 2D animation (at times) for last 6 episodes.

Strategy plot is very vague in this anime, as its mostly commentary and observation apart form a few unorthodox methods of battle.

It still good watch but I just wasn't prepared for that though, that's my opinion on the anime. If they had made 24 episodes with more expansion on the outcomes of the battle and circumstances, it may have been a more entertaining show.

Why is it anime's of this quality rarely get a 2nd season?

From a humble beginning in the first episode a small group of friends and strangers are thrown together by a twist of fate. Over the next 12 episodes (total of 13) we see them grow, overcome obstacles and learn the brutal truths of war and adulthood.

Pros:

• Fairly unique characters and modulations.
• Solid character growth.
• Good core story arc.
• Quality and consistent animation.
• Well done score.
• A couple surprising twists.
• Perfect English dubbing.

Cons:

• No 2nd season to date.

Although the characters and story is akin to a few other anime's out there Alderamin is the best I've seen of this "style" and I'd love to see more.

It falls into Fantasy and Military History genre's.
