How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom (2021)
When Kazuya Souma is unexpectedly transported to another world, he knows the people expect a hero. But Souma's idea of heroism is more practical than most, he wants to rebuild the flagging economy of the new land he's found himself in! Betrothed to the princess and abruptly planted on the throne, this realist hero must gather talented people to help him get the country back on its feet--not through war, or adventure, but with administrative reform.

    Amazing anime

    Complex storyline with a beautiful women and magic.... I love it....make many more episodes. The lead character is smart and like every day people. I love summon stories also.

    Really great series

    I enjoyed this series show much that I binged watched it, there's so much to appreciate in this anime. I like the story, the war scenes, also Characters.

    As the name suggests if a mature civil servant got summoned to another world that was on the brink of war, how would they conduct themselves as the summoned hero?

    You guess its as realist as they come right, so that's exactly it in this anime.

    I love how economy restrains are addressed in this series and how the character tackles challenges as they come along.

    Having said all of this you would need 100+ episodes to show the full depth of the world building, its amazing how the producers managed to condense information so much with an awe entertaining series. Well Done Team!

    Hope to see more of this show soon :)

    The premise is taken quite seriously

    The overarching story and world have a lot of potential. I really appreciate the real consequences of political missteps instead of just making up once you've defeated an enemy.

    The world looks generic of the surface but is quite unique and well thought out. The show has tons of elements to work with because the big bad and bigger nations haven't even made an appearance yet. The real icing on the cake would be if the mc really became the tyrant that everyone is trying to avoid creating but that out come seems unlikely.

    The biggest issues with the show is there awful limited animation in some scenes and the harem / iseki tropes that fell out place most of the time but do have some relevance to the plot.

    It's definitely worth the watch.

    They lost their track

    I definitely liked this series,as i am fan of base building,adventure,magic,action,romance,isekai. But their were few issue that concerned me.(1)i know this series name is how a realistic hero rebuilt the kingdom but they made it a little bit realistic way which i didnot like(2)No need to explain unnecessary things thoroughly (3) as this series mentioned this has genre action where is it i was very disappointed in it as it is lack in actions as we are talking about fighting demon lord not only building nation(4) there is magic in this series where is the use of it.this is the major point here how they didn't actually utilise magic for their own benefits and the protagonist,well he is here to save his Kingdom from demon lord not for base building so why didn't he yet gain knowledge about any magic nor he did any training, this way that would be much more fun to watch. This series desperately need actions scene which are atleast the level of wisemans grandchild,if they can do their actions scene like sword art online then it will be even better(5)And here season 2 ended there is only the protagonist expanding his dominion,while the demon lord is there sitting on chair while sipping tea and enjoying the show.they have no concern for what is he upto or how should they defeat demon lord they only are prioritizing building their domain.i am 110% sure that the 7.1 rating would have been 8.0 if the writer and director took it into consideration. Point to be noted: this series need more serious action scenes and i will prefer a little bit more romance.otherwise this series is a must watch.plus points of this series:i liked the animation very much, storyline is pretty good,All the characters are designed beautifully .if they make their new season with a little bit of actions and romance.i am sure this series will grow more.although this is my personal preference i will leave it to you guys that you should watch this or not after reading my review. EXpecting so good things from season 3. Dont disappoints your fans creator.

    Addicting

    To be honest, there are a lot of problems in the story from the viewpoint of a critical watcher. But like every other media, Anime is also solely for enjoyment. And I have enjoyed this 26 episodes and binged it in one sitting. The story is not very complex, not so many things are going on at the same time that need a lot your attention. A very relaxing watch. I loved the series. I will be waiting for another season.

      Due to the introduction of full names being Western in the other world everyone thinks Kazuya's first name is Souma. He doesn't realize this immense blunder until a few months into being king. He can't fix it.
