Os Reinos da Ruína

The storyline unfolds seamlessly, striking a perfect balance with a steady pace that never feels rushed. The characters, particularly Adonis (the protagonist) and his girlfriend, undergo substantial development in Season 1, laying a promising foundation for future growth. The anime's dark tone is captivating, offering a glimpse into a world filled with revenge, portraying Adonis as a kind-hearted soul tainted by darkness. The contrast between his inherent kindness and vengeful pursuits adds a compelling layer to his character. The narrative skillfully navigates the complexities of revenge, showcasing the misery of humans and influencing the perspectives of key characters. The story's depth is solid, hinting at a rich tapestry that promises further exploration in upcoming seasons. 'Kingdom of Ruin' excels in building anticipation for the witch queen's role and the various human empires yet to be fully unveiled. Season 1 serves as a captivating introduction, leaving viewers eager for the unfolding saga in the seasons to come.

"Huurrr duurrr REVENGE!" That's it. Extremely bad decisions one after the other.

5 episodes in. What a complete dumb waste of time. Protagonist appears to have an IQ in the 50's. Witches can only talk and die. Humanity is out of resources but has unlimited resources. I feel bad for the artists and voice actors. What a great premise with an adult rating. What a waste of time for all involved...

I used to think that an adult anime with decent production was impossible to screw up. Yet here we are. Unnecessary long fights. REALLY DUMB decision making from every character. Mages, soldiers, space, violence, what could go wrong?!? Really bad writing.

This stuff kinda disappoints me. I hate to say it but this show already went to nothing in about 5 episodes. They just ran out of ideas and tried to do too much. I just wanted a slaughter and we got something boring as hell.

I hate when shows do this. Now I would've been very happy for a 12 episode run of this guy bringing down an empire using violent gun magic like Americans when they discover oil in a sketchy morals third world dictator led country. But no. They didn't do it fast enough. So we have another dustbin show.

I won't even grace this new review (as my old 7/10 did) with the details on anything but the fact that this show is terrible and not worth its money. I don't think it's a 1/10 by any means but I would certainly say this is below average and therefore not watchable really. Don't waste your time and just watch the Eminence in Shadow or Misfit of Demon King Academy or Overlord for the edgelord genre because this isn't it. 4/10 if generous.

This is some excellent "so bad, it's good" material. It is tough to take seriously since it is so incredibly edgy. It's funny because the (many) tragic scenes are absurdly extravagant. It seems like the show was written by a child who was taken straight out of an Xbox voice chat for Call of Duty.

There aren't many characters in this that you will like. The protagonist assaults others for incredibly trivial motives. The empire, our adversarial force, is committing genocide because, well, they're nasty. If someone watched this and all they took away was that it's edgy and all the subtlety is lost, then it sounds a lot like a certain megahit series with a wicked protagonist seeking retribution on the world for genocide. Kingdoms of Ruin is a great comedy even if it has rapidly established itself as absolutely awful television.

I'm not one for writing reviews so you can imagine how awful this is. As someone whose watched anime religiously for nearly 30 years. This is one of the worst.

Took 7 episodes just to set the main protagonists into the true plot of the story. Which is always their journey.

The main character is annoyingly ignorant. Which is unbelievable, as hardship normally makes the character wise and more clever.

Then the girl is frustratingly playing a role that interferes with the main characters progress throughout.

Its actually given me a real headache.

From the beginning it set the tone to be a fantastic dark fantasy about revenge. It had the gore and fair quality of animation. The plot was set perfectly for a great anime.

The more you watch it, the more you will be left annoyed. As the fight scenes build up your excitement for something epic. Only for it to deviate far from your expectations in the worst way.

I'm not sure if this was out of the authors desire to make it unexpected and unconventional. However it achieved that in negative aspect.

My recommendation is spare yourselves the headache and waste of time.

Calling it a trash anime would be an understatement.

And that's not even my thoughts based on my preference. There are many anime that do not appeal to me that much that I can still say are good shows.

Calling this anime trash would be a kindness.

Seriously, don't waste your time and suffer this, unless you are a serious masochist.
