Review of Record of Grancrest War

Grancrest Senki is easy to watch, well animated, fast paced and has practically no flashbacks. There's nothing you'd be ashamed to show your parents, it's about adults and there's very little fan service. However, the setting is very game-like (to the point it might actually be better as a game) and the characters are pretty two dimensional. It also comes off as a bit pretentious with no comic relief. Its pace means it rarely gets boring but the lack of depth to characters means there's not much to care about. I would only recommend it if you've already watched a lot of anime and just want something that'snot terrible.
