Grancrest Senki First Impressions | Fantasy Bordering on Monotony
From crests to breasts this Winter 2018 seems to have it all but it’s behind a wall of generic fantasy and exposition.

On a continent ruled by chaos, the Lords have the power of a holy seal that can calm the chaos and protect the people. However, before anyone realizes it, the rulers cast aside their creed of purifying the chaos, and instead start to fight each other for each other’s holy seals to gain dominion over one another. Shiruuka, an isolated mage who scorns the Lords for abandoning their creed, and a wandering knight named Theo, who is on a journey to train to one day liberate his hometown, make an everlasting oath to work together to reform this continent dominated by wars and chaos.

this is not a generic fantasy anime tho, is basically game of thrones anime version, if you were to compare this to for example death march to i dunno what then you might just be retarded.

idk what to do with this one wet, maybe i stay whatching just to fulfill the lap of minimal 5 anime per season that i’m doing, but the "camp" is always a priority.

For some weird reason the show look pretty boring to me too. Which is strange because if I would watch a real life meaning of a show like Game of Thrones or the sorcerers apprentice, heck even Lord of the rings was extremely appealing to me. But medieval based fantasy shows really just don’t have it for me. Which is weird because the only romantic comedies that I like are ones with this Japanese animation. Very weird.

If they actually developed the characters properly and didn’t rush the story it could have been great

I think for the rest of this anime season I’m going to be comparing every anime to yuru camp. I can’t thank you enough for your video on it. Without it I wouldn’t have given it a shot. As for this anime though I think it’ll be really mediocre, but I will watch it bit to see if it gets any interesting. If it goes like most I may end up dropping this anime. Anyway good video like always.

As i already see the comments i must say you got something wrong which makes the premise of the show look more boring than it is. The anime is less about fighting random monsters but more about train your lord for world domination. The female mage uses optimistic little theo to basically make him more powerful so he will sooner or later take over the world (he just wants to take over his home country becouse they have bad rulership) . First season will probably be about the first few takeovers. Doesn’t sound as bad now, right?

Oh god….A show based on a tabletop RPG.
Yeah, because Chaos Dragon already showed us how well that works.

Yea pretty average stuff for a fantasy but the world building was really well done with the war. It also had a really good ending.

Typical fantasy trash the only reason people watch this is for fanservice

I read some of the manga for a while just to see what all the hype was about and it had some of the worst pacing I’d seen in a long time. 0 character depth, loads of exposition. You meet a new character than poof: he’s suddenly sworn his loyalty to Theo for literally no reason other than Theo is the good guy.
I’ll check the anime out but I already feel like I know exactly how it’s going to pan out

Watched this last night and just thought it was just super mediore. Nothing stands out. Even with a hypothetical lack of good anime this season, I still wouldn’t watch it because it would just be a time waster.

I think the difference of this compared to the others is the writing. The story telling is much better done than other fantasy animes.

The writing was so bland that I was free to spend the entire watch through scream-laughing at how hideous the show is. The only shots drawn well are the face close-ups, of which there are many, presumably because those are the only shots drawn well. Either way, by the time Theo’s big sweeping introduction was illustrated with a Meduca Meguca scrawl, I was in tears.

Guys you have got to catch up with this anime I’m not saying it’s gonna get better but fuck did it surprise the hell outta me

It does get better with further episodes, the lore is rich–you guys are too quick to judge.

I’m really hoping Darling in the FranXX turns to be good. I want a good Mecha show and its been awhile. Season is having a surprisingly good start with shows like Devilman already being a contender for AOS. Then you have Yuru Camp and Sora yori mo Tooi Basho having good first episodes.

Medieval fantasy is my favorite genre of anime so it really sucks when many fantasy anime have a convoluted plot, random magic with with random jargon, random irrelevant monsters and "bad guy" cannon fodder to show how "strong" a certain character is, protagonists and antagonists that have boring personalities and appearances, boring music theme, boring plot that lacks controversial ideas or themes, the usual boring anime cliches and tropes, and random flashy action scenes with characters jumping around instead of interesting realistic fight scenes.

on live chart it says this series will be 24 episodes long so maybe will get a good conclusion

You need to learn to get more information on something before giving it an opinion as such not everything starts off gloriously and shine line like a diamond from the get go and Grancrest is a perfect example of that. Although you were right on the money with the Game of Thrones feel.
