Os Reinos da Ruína

Honestly at the beginning it was boring but once you got to the middle it was not bad. The beginning was slow and boring with descent visuals. Once your mid way it actually starts to draw you in. Explaining the world and everyone's emotions about it. Though the characters are very one one dimensional which isn't not plus. Though the story line towards the end seems to get really interesting. Which makes me think it has promise.

Good emotional anime to teach about letting go of one overwhelming emotion. That and just something to watch. At the very least its better than most TVs shows out there now. Not everything has to be a 10/10.

The beginning is good, but not amazing. The more you get into the story, the worse it gets. For me 1 star is almost to much. I've seen some animes, I don't consider an expert, because I am not, but to have 10 episodes (so far) with almost 16-18 minutes per episode...this is straight up BS. For me, it means only one thing: "I am a writer, I have only a couple of ideas, let's see how much can I go with those episodes in order to increase my viewership, because I am lacking of more imagination." Fun fact, there are animes with 30min per episodes with Seasons, alright? And there are better at storytelling than most of the nowadays movies. Think about it.

To be fair, I don't know where the story wants to go. At this point its just a waste of time.

The storyline unfolds seamlessly, striking a perfect balance with a steady pace that never feels rushed. The characters, particularly Adonis (the protagonist) and his girlfriend, undergo substantial development in Season 1, laying a promising foundation for future growth. The anime's dark tone is captivating, offering a glimpse into a world filled with revenge, portraying Adonis as a kind-hearted soul tainted by darkness. The contrast between his inherent kindness and vengeful pursuits adds a compelling layer to his character. The narrative skillfully navigates the complexities of revenge, showcasing the misery of humans and influencing the perspectives of key characters. The story's depth is solid, hinting at a rich tapestry that promises further exploration in upcoming seasons. 'Kingdom of Ruin' excels in building anticipation for the witch queen's role and the various human empires yet to be fully unveiled. Season 1 serves as a captivating introduction, leaving viewers eager for the unfolding saga in the seasons to come.

This started in a promising manner. You see some gruesome deaths and are led to believe this will be a gnarly tail of revenge that leaves you hanging on the edge of your seat.

Then they make no attempt to develop the characters in any way shape or form and the whole series dialogue could be summed up as;

"hey, i don't know who you are but I'm gonna revenge ya" "Ohh hey, you have nothing to do with my plot? Well, guess i better revenge you anyway" "innaniment object in my field of view? Ohh you better believe that's a revenging"

The characters end up with as many dimensions as a singular point in space (math joke) and are so poorly written it makes you wonder if the writer is just throwing his (or Her, or it, no need to cancel me) 12vie angst in our face and passing it off as art.

"Huurrr duurrr REVENGE!" That's it. Extremely bad decisions one after the other.

5 episodes in. What a complete dumb waste of time. Protagonist appears to have an IQ in the 50's. Witches can only talk and die. Humanity is out of resources but has unlimited resources. I feel bad for the artists and voice actors. What a great premise with an adult rating. What a waste of time for all involved...

I used to think that an adult anime with decent production was impossible to screw up. Yet here we are. Unnecessary long fights. REALLY DUMB decision making from every character. Mages, soldiers, space, violence, what could go wrong?!? Really bad writing.
