Ok so normally you watch these for fun and shut off brain. Instead I'm here relearning economics, import export, trade, supply and demand, warfare and negotiations. What did I sign up for? I'm having a blast and I'm barely on episode 17. I'll update if it goes downhill but I am so enjoying the education and fantasy but they way it's presented is entertaining and the it's not too straight of a story so you get surprised enough that things stay fresh. It's a treat when I get to watch each episode and it only keeps me wanting more. The balance in how the story is told is magic in itself. I'm avoiding revealing things cause I would hate to ruin anything and I hope people feel the same way. I found myself laughing out loud cause I didn't expect to be learning concepts I was aware of but hadn't heard of in a simple and clear way. I really can't get over the fact it's not a dead brain watch of a show. I just stopped watching another show after season one and two episodes of an unnamed anime that made me angry at the unbalanced story and illogical storytelling. When you end up hating the Main character and don't feel anything for the side characters and don't care if they die it's bad. But this show it's refreshing and is making up for all that time I wasted on that other show. One other think I like is they aren't afraid to get deep at times and funny at other times as well as emotional and even have violence. The characters are similar to regular people in terms of we are both kind and violent, happy and sad, focused and distracted, loving and spiteful. Some anime's stick a character in a box that isn't able to get out and change shape. Sometimes you get a character who's 99% angry and that's their schtick and basically one dimensional throughout. Here im seeing many sides and it changes spending on the situation and what's required. I'm happy one of the characters hasn't been all business focused at all times but has moments where business or political leader isn't what's needed and it's time to shift to war general mode and then back to kind leadership but with authority. I get the vibes of "it's better to be warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war" the characters been setup to always be prepared. That doesnt mean focus on getting stronger so you can be an ultimate fight and be a beat and tough all day and night. It means be able to be the fighter but also train to be the smartest and kindest and best prepared person all around. Sharpen all your skills. Why am I trying to be all deep in a comment about an anime. Lol. I'm dumb and laughing at myself. I guess I really like this show so far.

How a Realist Hero rebuilt the Kingdom is boring as hell. While I was watching it each episode seems like eternity, it was very frustrating. Realist Hero What? I mean he was teleported into a magical kingdom where people got magic, demons and monster exists, and there is a Demon King too and he himself got magic and the writer is talking about reality! There is nothing "Heroic" about the protagonist. Also they say the Demon King wants to take over the kingdom, yet he is nowhere to be seen. You watch all the episode in season 1 and he never showed up, not even once. Maybe the Demon King like to rest and sleeps too much. Maybe he will start working in season 2. Nope, he is nowhere to be found even in season 2. That is some real Demon King, who wants to take over the Kingdom. Who does absolutely nothing in whole 2 season. Also why is the protagonist even called a Hero let alone a Real Hero, all he does is manage the Kingdom as best as he can. It about a king and his management system. There is no Hero in the story.

In conclusion it is a very boring Isekai with a Lame Protagonist and his kingdom management system.

I enjoyed this series show much that I binged watched it, there's so much to appreciate in this anime. I like the story, the war scenes, also Characters.

As the name suggests if a mature civil servant got summoned to another world that was on the brink of war, how would they conduct themselves as the summoned hero?

You guess its as realist as they come right, so that's exactly it in this anime.

I love how economy restrains are addressed in this series and how the character tackles challenges as they come along.

Having said all of this you would need 100+ episodes to show the full depth of the world building, its amazing how the producers managed to condense information so much with an awe entertaining series. Well Done Team!

Hope to see more of this show soon :)

How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom asks for a lot of patience from its viewers, and I have to warm you it doesn't exactly pay off. Your enjoyment of this anime will entirely depend on if you find they journey to get to nowhere an entertaining one, and I kind of did. This show follows a guy who is reincarnated into a medieval world with warring countries, and uses his knowledge from his past life to lead the county he's helping. I thought this idea, although executed slowly, was well done and I found it entertaining to watch. This show is labeled as a romance; it is not and don't expect one or you'll be disappointed. A season 3 or a movie to wrap up the story would've helped this show a lot, but as it stands its ending is very rushed and rather unsatisfying. Overall I cannot recommend this show to a casual anime fans, not even for a one time watch. Only if you meet the criteria I described and the issues I pointed out don't bother you, then give it a watch.

The overarching story and world have a lot of potential. I really appreciate the real consequences of political missteps instead of just making up once you've defeated an enemy.

The world looks generic of the surface but is quite unique and well thought out. The show has tons of elements to work with because the big bad and bigger nations haven't even made an appearance yet. The real icing on the cake would be if the mc really became the tyrant that everyone is trying to avoid creating but that out come seems unlikely.

The biggest issues with the show is there awful limited animation in some scenes and the harem / iseki tropes that fell out place most of the time but do have some relevance to the plot.

It's definitely worth the watch.
