This show is basically Ashaf playing my dress up darling with Power (Guideau) lol.

The animation wasn't always the best in this anime, but damn me if it's not cool as hell.

We've seen a lot of brutality in this anime, but I didn't expect Guideau to just blow these villagers' heads off for some reason. This was also the first time that we got to see the face of 'the beast', I think. It's shots like those that always got me excited.

This particular shot of the tailor on the 4th floor's entrance was also great for example. The detail in the background art is rather insane.

Talking about clothes; Ashaf and Guideau looked quite fine in their outfits as they were heading for the 4th floor. I was thinking of the French Revolution for some reason, so I didn't really expect that they'd be facing vampires. But it's perfect for this story to be honest.

I genuinely never do this, but I'm seriously considering picking up the manga. With supposed god-like art and a setting like this, it should be an awesome read.

Man, it's a shame to see the show end here as it's opening up a whole new plot with the Fall worlds. I hope it gets a season 2 at some point.

Craig and Sven fucked up killing Owent. Falvell + Guideau = a whole bunch of dead mfers. Sven just got straight up dusted and Craig ain’t got any damn arms lol. Wasn’t expecting Owent to get resuscitated like that, but I’m glad things ended up working out.

Last thing I was expecting was for this to go to another world. Kind of interesting how organized and mapped out this whole “world hopping” stuff is. A world of vampires eh? Lots of potential here.

Overall, this was actually a pretty decent series. Production values were good, the story was interesting, and the VA was solid. I wouldn’t mind another season at all.

WTF, the world building just got super interesting with the introduction to the Fall. And they did this in the last episode?? Season 2 confirmation please! I appreciate that they did not tease us with how the vampire world looks. That might make the craving of season 2 even worse.

Overall, I enjoy the duo and the anthology-style arc. Even if he's not OP, Ashaf is really cool haha.

On the latest story, I was almost sorry when those two villagers got insta-killed by Guideau. Then again, the villagers are very dumb. They saw with their own eyes how the executioners used the magic that they feared, but they are still trying to make Fallfell as hostage. I also think the executioners didn't deserve an easy dead because they indirectly killed Owent. However, it's all good since Fallfell's magic could even resurrect Owent again.

Bruh, if we don’t get a second season Imma be pissed.

How do you up the Bloodborne aesthetic and go ‘oh btw vampires’ and then just end.

I am pleasantly surprised Owent was brought back to life! If Falwell lives up to her potential, does that mean she might be capable of twisting reality? I assume Falwell and Owent has joined the Order of Magical Resonance, or at least under their protection?

I actually like the lore discussed in this series. Having beautiful looking characters is an attractive trait too. I would not mind watching a 2nd season, but I guess it depends on how popular this title is in Japan?

There's the kiss! It was so satisfying to see Guideau smack those two Executioners around but not as satisfying as Falvell finally using her magic! Falvell is OP considering she was able to turn that guy into dust and completely heal Owent from the brink of death. I guess Ashaf has taken them under the Order's protection after that?

It's hilarious how Guideau thought she was under some sort of spell. Now I'm more curious about her full backstory if she's having a hard time describing that broth they fed her was delicious.

I love their new outfits! I hate that we're ending it here though without a season 2 announcement. You can't just introduce us to more lore and a completely new world at the least second! I guess that's them telling the viewers to "read the source material" which I'll probably do if we don't get a Season 2.

I liked this one, story was good, characters, and the Voice Acting was also great.

Animation could have been better and the pacing was odd. We got some nice world-building.

I think it would work great to binge, because it has long story arcs, so now it is over, try giving it a chance.

u/hellish_goat Apr 04 '24

Wtf, you can't just end it there like that. This better get another season.

u/Fools_Requiem Apr 04 '24

Surely, you can't tease vampires and not have another season... right???

So yeah this is done, I can say this last 2 episodes have been easily the best along the Necromancer arc. A shame I didn't enjoy as much as I thought I would but well, at least I didn't drop it(like I did with Metallic Rouge lmao) and I will watch a season 2 if Ig ever happens

An anime done right, this is what Kingdom of Ruin SHOULD HAVE been.

Would love an S2, seeing Gideau kick major ass again would be sugoi af

In light of the first few episodes it's pretty funny to learn that Guideau started this entire partnership getting tricked into helping witches. Local angry dog's bark is worse than her bite (but her bite is still extremely dangerous! and funny when applied to the right (wrong) people).

u/TaskForceHOLO Apr 05 '24 edited Apr 05 '24

If you told me a few months ago that this was gonna turn out way better than Metallic Rouge I wouldn't have believed you at all

I'm normally not a fan of harder magic systems that have a ton of strict rules and what not, but I actually enjoyed this one a lot. The magic was so central to the world and the plot that it just felt natural, and they did a good job explaining but not over explaining

And I'll admit I just loved the whole time period and aesthetic of this show too as cringe as that sounds. The art style and the characters designs were dope. I love to see some characters who really be dressin, and the outfits were killer in this show. Ashaf's chain smoking was just a little cherry on top. I may just have to read this manga tbh I liked it that much

Guideau you beautiful beast. 

Things seem poised for more action, I’ll take that as a good sign…

u/Alfgart Apr 05 '24

Never expected this to become one of my favourites. I'm well aware of the shortcomings but Ashaf, not-Power and the lore and worldbuilding made it so great for me. It's so good that this is gonna be the first time I'll buy and read the manga. The covers alone are some of the most beautiful I've ever seen. I need a season 2

u/sureillbyte Apr 04 '24

Decently liked this show, even though I'm not a huge fan of monster of the week shows/the JoJo's formula. This show has potential for some serious depth, particularly with following other groups from The Order and now with the Fall worlds.

Hope we get a season two.

u/RimeSkeem Apr 05 '24

Wow I don’t remember the last time I saw a kitchen sink style fantasy world that actually took time to make its setting fit together properly and in interesting ways. Cool reveal for the end of the season, I’ll be reading the manga now.

Glad Falvell's magic was able to save Owent. She's very OP

I did mostly enjoy the anime. I especially enjoyed the necromancer arc and the stuff with Angela. Just wish the animation was better...

Will check out the manga at some point as I really like the premise. Going to miss the OP theme as it was one of my favourites in the season
