Love your videos, thanks for making my day

[@dragonova279]

thank you for all your dedication and holding even the smallest details in high regard. I was also hoping yould could try and do songs of war. I know it that it's not really an anime but is has an amzing story plotline and animation. I hope you could atleast try and watch it.

[@AnimeWins]

@@dragonova279 Thanks but as always my patrons pick

[@dragonova279]

@@AnimeWinsok still thanks for answering😁

[@kodytiffany5686]

I was tearing up just watching this and reconnecting. I love this series. If you have not covered it yet; check out Carol and Tuesday. It was also good at having a few very touching moments... and the music is great. They also had an American Idol Parody in it that was top notch accurate and hilarious for it.

[@tenebraequeene]

The most inspirational thing about this anime, is the manga's author is an older man (i think in his 40's) who decided to follow his dreams and make this series. Such a difficult dream came true!

[@dominicsommer7187]

i feel weird about you considering 40's old

[@PokemonaMoni]

@@dominicsommer7187 What they're saying is that usually mangaka start out in their 20s or even a bit earlier, it's definitely uncommon to see a man in his 40s trying to start a manga career.

[@dominicsommer7187]

@@PokemonaMoni oh I see, they meant the age of starting out. There are a ton of experienced authors who are older than 40.

[@shylleth]

@@dominicsommer7187 40s isn't so old, but I'm in my 30s and feel like I've accomplished nothing. It's inspiring to think it isn't too late to great things so late in life

[@cucublueberry8078]

Too bad the author is also a Japanese nationalist with a nasty racist attitude towards Korean people 🙁

[@jmcateer0]

This anime is a master class in "show don't tell" storytelling and complex character writing. Every narrative twist, action, and motivation is naturally laid out or foreshadowed by dialogue and action. Like we learn Boji can read lips early through scenes with Kage, but his attendants don't realize this until much later which helps explain their early season harsh conversations without sign language and underestimation of his skills.

[@damiester1]

People keep misunderstanding Hilling's early characterisation. She didn't change for the worse after Daida was born, but rather kept the exact same personality as when she first met Bojji. She was always pompous, awkward and overly protective. Her attitude towards Bojji stemmed from her perceiving Bojji as someone that needs to be protected. This is the same as everyone around them including Daida and Domas. However, unlike those 2, Hilling at the very least heals Bojji behind the scenes and never approved of his duel with Daida. If she was playing favourites, she would've loved the duel to showcase her son's power. That wasn't the case (check the dialogue again).

[@griffinbryant5016]

This show has the best example of a disabled main character I've seen since Toph Beifong in the atla His deafness is also extremely consistent, if he isn't looking at someone he doesn't know what they said and sometimes that pulls a little tricky twist on you later

[@MythicalMutt]

I’ve never had to re-evaluate my views on characters so often as I did going through this anime. The sheer number of individuals that you go from hating to loving or vice versa is staggering.

[@dejanbeep6293]

Haha I still hate Miranjo

[@4343ize]

Queen hiling isnt 'not nice to bojji after daida was born'. She's overprotective because she saw bojji as a helpless kid and thought ruling a kingdom is too much for him. And she's a tsundere.

[@AnimeWins]

No she absolutely was nice to him prior to the birth of Daida, there's a whole scene on it lol.

[@benrakow3396]

What always baffled me about this anime was how detailed some things are, for example in win 105, Boji is trying to say "arigato" to Kage for the crown, but mumbles "aiao" since he wouldn't know what an R or T sounded like because he can't lipread that right? Just incredible.

[@sophiliamajestign9303]

That's incredible! I'd have never caught that!

[@kawaiicake8038]

DUDE I LITERALLY LOVE HOW THEY DO THIS AND ITS MOT JUST WITH THAT!!! They do that so much through the series, where he isn’t just babbling he’s actually trying to speak but it’s mostly just vowel sounds, so it can be hard but yeah they really went over and beyond in EVERYTHING they do in this series!!!

[@bcajma12]

This anime is actually even better when you comb through it multiple times and really analyze the characters. For example, Bosse tests the mind-controlled beasts and then kills one of the four therefore greatly improving the odds of, if not outright _ensuring,_ Dorshe's success. Most don't even consider this possibility until perhaps the flashback where Bosse both implicitly and explicitly commands Dorshe to protect Hilling. Obviously there are more revelations behind character motivations shown later but it's the subtle things done early on that really makes the later pay-offs truly outstanding.

[@edwardsimpson119]

The main problem with Ranking of Kings is that those damned onion-slicing ninjas love to strike whenever I watch it. Those cheeky buggers even managed a few quick attacks while I was watching this video!

[@Sky_Liang0104_..__..]

I love how wholesome the mother is. I was genuinely shocked

[@bobbenson6825]

So many great and unforgettable characters, none of which are shallow. So many great twists. This is a great fairy tale and one of the top fantasy anime ever. Ouken has to be one of the most chilling yet pitiable antagonists ever.

[@BC-iy4ee]

I watched ranking of kings a few months ago, great anime, teared up a little more compared to any other anime I've watched besides Clannad. The entire story really is just a giant pretzel plot twist though lol

[@marlonjose6569]

Such a man of culture

[@photriongames245]

The second half has some of the best animation and story developments in recent memory, can't wait for you to cover it!

[@audreym3908]

And an even more amazing OP!

[@venepskeuten9206]

I know the second half episode is probably still a while away, but god damn when that opening played for the first time I got massive goosebumps.

[@audreym3908]

Same!

[@thunder1504gaming]

It's impressive how much they put in in just 12 episodes

[@LuoXiaoHei_AsianGuy]

One thing that I love about the anime is that there isn't actually a villain or a bad person. Every "villain" we've seen aren't really "bad guys." Hell, even the demon himself.

[@supremefankai5480]

Love the depth of all the characters, ain't no one dimensional chumps here. Bojji is the kind of inspiration for anyone feeling down

[@wingzero7X]

I cannot wait for part two. I’ve already seen this whole thing but I just love every bit of it. It’s such an emotional roller coaster, and makes me just want to cheer on my nieces and nephew so much

[@nerd660]

The author took almost every possible fantasy trope and subverted them a tiny bit. Not just for the sake of subversions but to make a genuinely interesting and heartfelt story.

[@crimsontaylor6534]

Always love seeing favorite series that I enjoyed whole heatedly come out with a perfect review!

[@AnimeWins]

Well that's irritating, I wrote out a huge comment to you logged into my second channel and yet it just disappeared, it's not even in this channels spam or anything! Save to say I lost my mind seeing, thank you so very much! I was saying how I replied to someone up above thanking me for my work and how I mentioned to them that it hurt that I put so much time and effort into making the video and yet it's currently performing terribly for some unknown reason so this made me tear up and honestly made my day. I cannot thank you enough and your tip goes a long way to helping repair the damage of my loss of earnings due to the poor views. Thank you and bless your heart ^^

i mean wit studio has already proven to be the goats when it comes to drawing horses. the horses in attack on titan were also amazing. i'd'legit love if they could help david productions with JOJO part 7 because of the amount of horses

[@yours-truly-kay8202]

this show took me by surprise. Initially, I thought it was going to be some slice of life anime following a kid trying to raise his rank as king. But there's so many unexpected layers to this show that I didn't know was going to happen. Even though I'm only half way through the anime, I love it. The characters and their individual stories have amazed me. Great wins vid btw, your wins helped me put why I love this anime into cohesive words lol

[@herscherae3568]

I just can`t describe how unbeliveably amazing that anime is to me.

[@arkdetective]

Loved this anime. Was the one that made me reevaluate my favorites in a new light. Now my personal favorite. Can't wait for part 2. Also, boji best boy. WE ALL MUST PROTECT THAT SMILE!!!!

[@whysomad]

The Mad King's VA goes by the name Shintarô Oohata. He was Hakan's Voice in Super Street Fighter IV (2010) and also was doing Doc's Voice in Radiant (the Anime - 2018). That's how I found out that he also was in Ranking of Kings xd

[@AnimeWins]

He's listed on imdb as, "Hunter", I'm 99.9% sure it's Knuckle from HXH

38:52 I just remembered that this specific cut was animated by Yoshimichi Kameda, the character designer for Mob Psycho 100 (who's also done a lot of key animation on shows like FMA Brotherhood and One Punch Man; you can look him up on Sakugabooru).
