Review of Record of Grancrest War

This is my first review on MAL. This is one of the greatest yet comparatively less popular show from A1 Studios. This is the probably one of the few anime series which blows away my sleep. Almost full night, I was thinking of this show. Even after completing the whole season in 2 days, I continue to think about this show which is uncommon for me. An ancient style military setup with a tinge of magic makes this anime ideal for me. I enjoyed this show very much. The only thing I didn't like is the excessive fast pace. I loves fast moving stories and amgreat fan of ancient style military setup, so I can safely say A1 studios cut some corners in war scenes and in climax. They could have easily extended the series to 36 episodes without any feeling of stretching the story. The war scenes could have been stretched a bit, displaying the military strategy deployed and something like that.

This excessive fast pace and a bit unsatisfyingly hastened climax made this series a great anime but not one of the masterpieces in this sub-genre.

A word for those who haven't seen this anime: Do watch it. You will not feel bored at any point. There is one point in story which will turn you upside down. Atleast for me, it was. I didn't expect at all that would ever happen.
