Review of Record of Grancrest War

So first of all I am sorry if this turns out kinda messy, for I haven't written a lot of reviews. A lot of people score this anime really slow, but in my opinion Grancrest Senki is not bad at all, in fact it's really good. However, it has a few flaws: for example, the pacing is pretty fast, you'll soon realise that events that would usually requiere some chapters to be explained, are covered in 10 minutes or so. And this may lead to difficulties following the story. But it's not that bad, it's not like you won't understand the plot, it's just that you willtake a while to get used to many names and places and so on... but you'll get there.

I gotta admit that the characters are not great, the MC is not as likeable as Goku or Seiya or Kenshin or Ash Ketchum, it's not that interesting, but it's alright overall. And the other characters from the series are actually pretty good.

This series can get gory and explicit in a lot of ways, so it's meant for a mature audience. In my opinion that's a plus.
I would give this a 6.5 or a 7, but the last episodes are really good and imo make up for some of the flaws of the series, so in the end it's an 8 from me.

As a final veredict: Grancrest Senki is alright, it is fun if you don't have any idea of what you wanna do with your free time. However it's not 'memorable', and there are a lot of other animes out there that take less than 24 episodes and deliver a story of higher quality.

So, go ahead and watch it... or not. You won't be missing out on anything, but you will have a good time if you give it a chance.
