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.

    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.

    Good story !! I hope to see more soon.

    This anime has a good story and good animations.

    But the most important thing about this anime is that it doesn't have boring chapters.

    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.
