    Very clever

    Wein really seems like a glutton for punishment that can never take things seriously. From war to marriage talks, his main goal is just getting out of everything. Despite his avoidance and desperate attempts to run away from anything serious, he just seems to constantly land himself deeper and deeper into more responsibility - all while being a victim of all the powerful women in his life. All very amusing.

    The Art of Machiavellianism

    This anime basically deals with politics between state leaders and the complicated issues Medival leaders had to go through in order to save their kingdoms. It showcases how people achieve their goals through cunning and manipulative methods. Our protagonist is a genius who uses his head to overcome any obstacle that his kingdom faces. He reminds me of Lelouch vi Britannia but with a laid back personality. This anime is one of those rare fantasy anime that do not run on clichés. I felt the last episode was a bit rushed but other than that it has been a solid first season.

    Is it better to read or watch?

    The show has been adapted from a manga which further was adapted from light novel of the same name by Toru Tuba.

    The show has some of the best plot twists and interesting character arcs. The characters are also really captivating and one would enjoy to wonder what might be going in their heads.

    The animation was fine in terms of visual and score. Nothing to complain there.

    However, there was a huge missing piece in the series as compared to the light novel. The light novel seems to go deeper into its characters and the world; the show, it seems, fears all of these things for whatever reasons. Maybe it was time constraint or something else, but as a fan of the light novel, I was dissatisfied to not see what I expected on screen.

    The story seemed rushed. It would be a 10 out of 10 if the pacing was a little slow. Expect great things for season 2.

    I would say if you enjoyed it as did I, read the books, they will engross you into the world of Natra, Wein and Ninym.

    The Main Character Is Secretly A Genius

    This is one of those series where the main character seems to be lazy, but is actually secretly a genius. The episodes themselves are pretty interesting, and there are many moments where an unexpected event takes place. The characters throughout the series have different personalities and special characteristics to each of them individually which leaves it up to the audience to determine for themselves who is their favorite character. If you enjoy intellectual animes, with a hint of comedy and adventure with a "cool" main character who seems to be uninteresting, but is actually a genius, this is definitely one of the best animes to check out.

    Fun, Unique, and underrated

    Fun, unique, and underrated at the moment. It's the best of its kind the animation is not poor the characters are balanced and realistic, every episode is eventful and worth watching on its own, it succeeded in what the other shows of the same gender failed. It mirrors reality of politics and how the medieval world worked from schemes to warfare and religion even if it failed to really display the ugliness and cruelty of it that's not what you would wait from a comedy and fun tv show but the diary of a historical figure .
