Review of Record of Grancrest War

Today I am gonna explain why I found this anime good and yeah that was very surprising to me. When I first came into this I just wanted a fun non-ecchi fantasy anime. I rate goblin slayer like a 7 and slime Isekai like a 6 but just slime is too ecchi for me. So when I watched this and saw just how much fighting there was just to gain respect or gain new lands I was honestly surprised! And what topped it off for me as a big romance drama fan but more importantly a romcom hater, the relationship was actually genuine. Nowadays that’ssome thing romance anime find a hard time doing. I never knew the politics of war would also be this much fun, it’s amazing seeing a land split but they still came together from respect of there previous leader. Now I’m talking about the two main characters, Theo and Sulica are actually pretty unique but more Sulica than Theo. Theo is just a character that is a genuine nice person, he’s a pacifist mostly at the beginning but further down the road, he sometimes admits that he might have to use force, and it was great character development. Why I love him is just his ideology and his personality is lovable and he loves Sulica so that’s great too. Sulica is definitely the better character of the two, maybe I just like smart people but she is definitely a genius on the battlefield and that’s what made her so great. She trying to out maneuver the enemy and longer the story goes the harder the foes she tries to out genius! I wish I could explain more about her but I just don’t have the words but I admit she is my favorite character and actually is the best character writing wise in the show. I gave this anime a 8.5/10 for enjoyability factor. The characters are absolutely amazing and what made me keep going and I know people say the pacing but I watched it after it aired and it wasn’t even that bad in succession. I hope other people care for an action romance which is a rare breed that I only have one >7/10 which is this one! This is the Holy Grail of action romance, meaning the relationship is advancing during the whole show, not some battle Shonen where the mc just gets a girl. Now from here I will say if you like enjoyable characters and genuine romance please give this show a try.
