Review of Record of Grancrest War

I'd say I would actually give this anime an 8.5, and I DEFINITELY would have given this anime a higher score, if it weren't for some small specific things that irked me. Story was great, with the simple premise of war happening between factions of a continent, and with them all having their different beliefs clashing when it comes to finally ending the era of chaos by trying to unite the entire continent. I pretty much loved most of the characters, EXCEPT for ONE... The Prince of Dartania "Melza". THIS CHARACTER BOTHERED THE HECK OUT OF ME THE ENTIRE SERIES, especially specific things that hedid that made me sick and angry to the UTMOST. He talks about ambition and is so vague on it that it irks me lol. One of my favorite characters though has to actually be the MC in Theo, cause I love the fact that he wants to become a lord and/or ruler for such righteous reasons and I love it! The Music/soundtrack wasn't very impactful or anything at all, but there were 1 or 2 OST themes that were cool. Overall the story I thought was really frickin great, beautiful romance, and I really enjoyed it overall. For me this series was a little draining mentally, because anime that deal with a lot of military politics/politics and strategy type stuff like that sometimes put me off, but it was overall enjoyable with a lot of other aspects put into the show. If you are into war/action/military/fantasy type anime, with romance and drama sprinkled in VERY well, then I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ANIME TO YOU.
