I Swear A 13-Year-Old Wrote This Terrible Anime

[@Wholesome_Man]

Adonis's 10 year plan that he came up with during his imprisomment was to make a gundam sized robot to destroy the city and shoot a couple really big bullets. Which failed almost instantly. Gave me a good laugh.

[@caramelitoalegre]

I dropped the series at that point. I was thinking "Oh, he's been planning it for a decade. Okay, what's he gonna do?" and he proceeds to charge straight ahead on top of a golem like an idiot, to predictably get his ass handed to him. Bruh, if the best idea you've had after 10 years is to march a giant through the city without even hiding yourself, riding on the thing for everyone to see you so they can beat you up, then you are plain stupid. He could've taken the time to lay low, blend in with society to gather information. What's the government structure like? Where are the centers of power located? What military forces do they have available? How can you counter those forces? Etc, etc. If you've been tied up inside a straitjacket for over a decade, it's impossible to formulate an adequate plan to bring down a whole country, let alone all of mankind. There's simply no way to get the information necessary to make a plan, except a real shitty one like marching a golem down the street. But yeah, he went straight ahead like a moron and got stomped for it. I lost all interest then and there, from how braindead everyone in the series is.

[@raychii7361]

Well Adonis 10 year plan was made by a 10 year old

[@Lycearin]

​@caramelitoalegre What you described sounds like The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexander Dumas, which is often seen as one of the best revenge stories in all of literature. The basic idea of the plot is that there's this dude who was framed for a crime by a couple people and was sentenced to life imprisonment. He then spent 14 years in one of the worst prisons imaginable, where he polished a bunch of random (but highly useful) skills, after which he escaped. He then spends the following 9 years traveling the world, building up wealth and power, setting up a massive. All of this is done for the pirpose of setting up an elaborate revenge plot against the people who had framed him, who are now some of the richest and powerful people in the country. And then he returns to his home country under a hidden identity to play some 5D chess against his enemies. The full thing is 1300 pages long, but Manga Classics made a pretty good manga version of the book, if you're interested. There's also an anime version called "Gankutsuou" that takes an absolutely ridiculous amount of creative liberty, but still manages to capture the basic idea of the original. Gigguk made a video on it titled "The Best Revenge Story in Anime" if you want to take a quick look at it.

[@Reflec999]

I thought he was going to gigantify a nuke but no.

[@moteroargentino7944]

@caramelitoalegre To be honest, the real mistake was saying that he had a plan when, as you said, that was impossible. What he did was somewhat reasonable, considering they basically buried him alive for a decade. Dude was just insane an went like a rabid dog straight to where he assumed the emperor was.

[@davidburke4101]

@@landontucker2866 Yeah after reading your comment I just realized how retarded that actually is. There's no way to save this massive plot hole. Even if you try to say that it was "5D" chess it just creates more plot holes. They couldn't have planned for adonis to lead them to the last of the witches. They were unaware there were witches left to begin with, and even if they knew how the hell would adonis know? They'd have to assume that witches would contact him and take him to them. If that's the case, why would you bother trying to kill adonis instead of just stopping him? If you kill him the witches would give up on getting him and you'd never find their location. If you planned to kill him, just blow him up instead of wasting soldiers and lives. The anti-magic device giving off radiation is also stupid. I t would be like using an unshielded nuclear reactor and then claiming that it's too dangerous to use. In the war against the witches they used a bunch of these, and they were even small enough to be mobilized. Even if the scientists have no idea of the mechanisms behind it killing people, clearly they knew the effects decrease with distance or everyone would be extinct. So then why the fuck are the controls for the device literally right next to the device? It could literally have been remotely activated and nobody in that room would have gotten sick or died. The more you think about it, the more literally every facet of the story fails basic scrutiny.

As an aspiring fantasy author, anime like this make me extremely happy, because no matter how much I fumble my story, it will at least be better than this hollow husk of a show.

[@tayschannel2695]

Okay I’m 13 years old so now I will try to do something out of it ONLY by reading the title of this anime (I tried to watch when it was ongoing because I thought it was normal, but there’s no way I would watch this sh** fully. Yes I didn’t even ended first episode) out of pure boredom. Okay……so, setting….this show has awful AWFUL style, it don’t knows how to use the setting what way what it at least looks normally, anachronism is very interesting idea for setting like writing modern culture into setting of old times, or old culture into setting of modern times. I think for setting we could use formula of Madoka Magica’s backgrounds….it’s very simple constructs which’s technical use is very logical, but you never saw anything like what, cities and houses in here are build weirdly, but working. It’s very easy way to make interesting backgrounds and believable system of the world what will look differently, for example random idea I had: bridges. Whole city is giant bridges system what goes what high up what you could step into a cloud. More high it is more cold it is, and more high it is more expensive t is to afford living, also higher ups live closer to sun and “god” while lower classes what make riches rich are cursed to live only in their shadows. I have several other ideas for it but it’s kinda useless.It’s all stylized after 17th century Europe where was most big witches hunt, since it’s Protestant Christianity would love to make one of characters based off An Boleyn because yeah she’s protestant icon, who was also blamed in witchcraft. Also an idea I had was to make the rebellious group’s village or base designed after Ireland and add some Celtic mythology and/or history, because Ireland literally had like…..4 cases of witchcraft? Because yeah if some random lady was doing Rituals everyone would just say “she probably just wanted to talk to god in cool way” (historical reasons +religious. Tho honestly I might be very very wrong……) So here’s some sort of story for this world I have….god created humans, but he made some humans different, they gave their soul to god before their death and receiving some magic, only way you can waste your magic is for the good (translating from bible language, only against sins) and you can never escape your contract. Tho why would you need to do it? Even if you die you’re guaranteed to go up to heaven (…or no….) like only thing you need to give up is your soul, free will, life as a normal human …(especially because those contracts are usually signed by little kids who are closer to death than already grown ups. Or very old people) you know useless sh** like what! Well, it’s mostly a problem now since witches need to hide their power what makes their lives very very hard and lonely. In the past being chosen by god to be a witch was prestige, it was honor in every family. And you woudnt even dare to say no about this contract. But what happened? No one really knows, official version is what scientists find out what it’s actually the devil to who you sell your soul, and said no to magic because god actually wanted for humans to grow themself without magic. But is it true? No one know! Okay so finally I ended with the setting, let’s go to characters…..mMC was an orphan boy, he got adopted by a witch who tried to teach him true history of witches, and theory of magic, in hope what later he’ll review the old world and raise another witch. Later she got killed by humans, it happens in end of first episode, because the first episode is actually three plot lines leading to his master’s execution. Plot of his line in here is what he tries to memorize a spell with his master but fails and they got exposed to the human soldiers who chase them. It’s not first time, they’re used to it. So master says what it’s alright, they keep going until one soldier chases them and captures master while MC runs away. In the end he returns on the main streets where finds her hanged body. Another plot line is about the soldier, she’s actually not a soldier but aristocrat and very high one would I say. She wants to protect her country and her dream is to be a soldier, tho her parents don’t really let her be one because they’re worried. She wanted to prove them what she’s capable, and it was her only chance guven by them to prove what, first day starts with a girl of age around 10. Turns out she’s an orphan and princess tries to lead her to a “good place” what turns out to be an orphanage, but girl don’t likes perspective of working for hours with no respect or love while being treated as less than a human only because shes unable to protect herself, so she runs away. While following her our princess sees how mc and his master are failng some spell and yells about witch. They run away and then princess turns her plan so she captures the witch and gives her to king.(1/2)

[@tayschannel2695]

(2/2) The king is very very happy and makes this naive and delusional girl who believes she’s doing it right honorable soldier/knight. And let’s get back at beginning again. A little girl, is a 10 years old orphan who lost her parents long time ago and survived all alone while hiding from government who would make her live at orphanage, her sister was taken in there and she never heard of her again after all….she survived on little works for lower class. She walked into this city, what was bigger than any other she was in, plus the soldiers had very weird and unusual uniform. So she didn’t recognized what the kind girl who gave her bit of food and said what she haves a perfect place for her was actually soldier who lead her into orphanage. She ran away, again, and understood what she’s very tired of this life, and soon a magical contract appears in front of her face, she could sign it and never feel herself so helpless and useless….she wanted to think about it for time. And after some timeskips here we are…at MC’s master’s hanged body. The fMC walks in here, and she’s terrified by it. She runs away, and decides to say no about the contact, but then sees how bunch of criminals are oppressing some little boy, and threaten him with a knife. She decides to step in and understands what magic would solve it, she quickly confirms contract and saves him while partly hiding her face. They all run away, and she thinks what maybe it’s not what bad…..next episode is after a time skip, the new witch in this episode is supposed to find our main character who became all edgy and stuff. He takes her under his wing and tries to do what his master did but he wants revenge. There’s a second plot line with aristocratic girl, they’ll eventually become friends even without knowing true identities of each other, and their lines will be tied together sometimes and sometimes not. MC’s arc will be classic, “your master wouldn’t want you to turn out what way, revenge and rage is bad, better be sure what something what happened to you won’t happen to anyone other” just like the princess who will learn the truth about world and how cruel it is and understand what witches aren’t bad guys, the little witch one is a little more interesting…..she will understand what her body is just….a dead body. She don’t haves a soul anymore by her side, and she needs to do what her whole life? Protect the weak and go against all the sins while not even daring to sin?…..and what will happen if she’ll sin? Why can’t she be like any other teenager her years, why was she forced to survive, why everyone suddenly blames her in everything’s he was forced into!? Why can’t she get angry at this!? Why she’s not allowed to it!?….Did she ever had a normal choice in her life?…. Okay so….I told every of my ideas….I’m tired a bit. Byeee

[@Piromysl359]

The main problem with Adonis is that there is absolutely no way we as an audience can sympathize with him and on top of that, his character is completely inconsistent. First he will say, that he knows that Chloe would absolutely NOT want him to carry out revenge, yet he does that anyway, which clearly implies that at best he cares more about himself and his revenge or at worst, that he doesn't even care about her. We also get to know, that he was budget Eren with anger issues before he met Chloe, so it's not like it was Chloe's death that made him what he is. He even deliberately targets and murders completely innocent people, justifying it with "sins of their fathers". Yes, the PROTAGONIST is past moral event horizon at episode two. Then he deliberately lures humans to witches moon base and effectively causes witches to be extinct. After he defeated human leader, he literally carved his face off, put it on his own and deceives humans that all is clear, while having a psychotic grin, because edginess is cool. This clearly implies, that Adonis relishes in it, so his excuse that "I do it because I must" doesn't doesn't really apply. Then he tries to manipulate and brainwash Doroka into hating humans by saying, that they destroyed last of the witches after he quite literally caused their extinction. And then author had the audacity to try and make him look like a good and compassionate guy by putting those sex dolls out of their misery. After this Doroka started to fall for this gaslighting by starting to suspect that deep inside Adonis might be a good person and it is actually infuriating. I don't remember when was the last time, when I wanted the protagonist to fail so badly.

It started going pretty hard, if not somewhat fun, up until a sudden pointless plot twist that made me drop the manga and anime immediately. The witches responding to the humans brutality isn't even a bad thing. They legit forced their hands to respond in kind and fight for survival. Hell his choice not to revive his master makes some semblance of sense if you'd understand that the witches only want Chloe to train up more writing magic child soldiers. But they kinda have to, their magic legit can't keep up with humanities technology and every witch that dies is one less of the population as a whole and they're, from what we can infer, basically an endangered species at this point. But it goes from an interesting concept to erroneous murder porn quickly, and I wish I was kidding to say there are literal doujin that use this concept. I wouldn't be surprised if both the mangaka wrote such stuff before with the hilarious amount of them that originally made porn before making manga.

One thing I don’t understand is that each witch has their only singular power, like Doroko has love magic and her friend that clone substitution thing. But Adonis can do whatever he wants, has more versatility. It makes no sense that the witches can only do one single thing. Like how come they can’t do writing magic?

I won’t deny that this anime is Edgy Mess, but the plot does make a bit of sense once you realize everyone in the story is either a horrible person, dead, doomed or Doroka(girl in the cover, who’s a stupid martyr): 1)The title is in fact related to the story, basically by episode 2 the whole world is screwed Mad Max Style, so “Kingdoms of Ruin” because the place is ruined 2)The “Witches are Evil” reveal basically implies that while the witches were helping humanity they were doing it from a position of absolute superiority and bossing the humans around when it was convenient, that they exiled their greatest prodigy for teaching magic to a human means they wanted to monopolize magic to maintain said superiority, that’s why people supported the witch hunts: envy and resentment over being an “inferior race”(quickly went sideways though, since they were dependent on witches to cleanse their pollution and renew their resources) 3)Adonis doesn’t get to kill the Emperor because the Emperor is a “puppet villain” and he didn’t focus on the Emperor because he considered the whole nation responsible for the witch hunt Conclusion: The anime has some interesting ideas and themes but can’t deliver them to save its own life, it also has a bad tendency of making everything extreme, just looking at the main characters we have a genocidal maniac who hates everything and a dumb pacifist who can’t accept reality Edit: Someone already commented it below, but apparently this is a Sequel of “Kingdoms of Caliburn” and the current villain was previously the Female Lead, so maybe the story makes more sense if you read the previous one first?

This anime is a combination of both RWBY and Akame Ga Kill in how bad they both are. Akame Ga Kill comes off as a 14 year old fanfiction trying way to hard or be adult and dark. All of the characters are one note and hackneyed at best, the world building is trash, the art style mediocre and the writing is terrible. Characters keep on getting killed off just for shock value and have no development what so ever. I also forgot to mention that the romance between the main character and the pink loli Tsundere is forced and bad. Rwby on the other hand used to be a good show, but after its creator died, the show has gone down hill to a series of nonsense and plot holes. The characters are all unlikable, annoying, forgettable and stupid. They act stupid for the sake of the plot. Some characters have a lot of potential but end up being very disappointing. The world building also nonsensical and stupid. There are a lot of scenes that don’t make sense. The backstory of most villain is just down right awful. The romance is garbage. Worst of all, there are a lot of behind the scenes drama going on with Rooster Teeth, the company that made RWBY, that paint the show in an awful light.

Bunch of questions. Why did the humans go after the witches? Did they know that the witches were planning on taking down humanity? And again, why were the witches planning to take down all humanity? Who went against who first? Why was the witches' sole purpose to help the humans, making them basically side-characters in humans' lives?

[@foisopracurtir6389]

1: Because a power-hungry witch brainwashed the king to "get rid of the concurrence" so to speak. 4: the humans begun it under orders and likely propaganda of that king, 3:(the witches's plan) was retaliation. 2: They didn't knew *there was even witches left* until one send Adonis to the moon, but went finish the job regardless. 5: Good question.

it totally had the potential to be really good, it had a good path made by the best path builder ever, but then the author said "nah i dont like paths, i will go through the grass and mud", and well suprise suprise a potentially good story tries to continue without a goal or a mindset or logic or nothing. Good that i am not alone when i thought it was stupid that the whole point on ressurecting the Chloe was because Adonis had like memories and stuff, ignoring the fact that still doesnt make sense because no way his memories is 100% Chloe and he knows eveything about her but ok... anyway pretending that would work, it makes even less sense that using the same "power of memories" he can ressurect a witch he knew for like 10min max... yeah

1. He did not blow the tree up. The guy with an rpg did. (he even drops it on the slide you showed) 2. He had a tracker on him somehow which he broke and that somehow summoned humans. (even tho his body got replaced) 3. His goal was to kill humans - witches wanted to kill humans. What does he do? Summons humans to kill witches. 4. The queen was clearly a witch since she had a veil and all that. So I kinda guess that makes sense? This show was .. confusing.... I mean it set up this crazy big story about Adonis reincarnation and the new Queen being some sort of a last adonis reincarnation lover or what not, only to end on a "I got a new witch wife that can not see but she helped me get op so that is fine." Just pure confusion.

[@GamePalace-jo5tu]

Adonis, instead of finding the cause of the hatred towards witches (Dorotea) or putting an end to Chloe's murderer (Goethe), saw this act of "humanity" as a betrayal, from his delusional point of view, Adonis attempted to fulfill his wish. . . through force, in addition to doing it because he wanted to take revenge on those who he felt had betrayed him, but with the king already dead it no longer makes any sense to try to take revenge on Goethe since there is no one to take revenge on. in. About and in his obsession with wanting to fulfill his whim regardless of the harsh blow of reality, Adonis has wasted his life on a crusade of revenge that, far from satisfying him, has corrupted his soul and is consuming him from the inside and this becomes most evident when he is killing people. In episode 2, in a scene, Adonis wonders why he doesn't feel happy despite having killed his master's "murderers." (or so I thought until I discovered that he not only wanted revenge on Chloe's murderer, but also on all humans, which seems more like a Tantrum than revenge as such and I already know that there will be people using the pretext of the crowd during the execution, but first ask yourself this question, was all of humanity really present at Chloe's execution? NO, also, not all of humanity is to blame, but only the empire). Or in short. Adonis: Evil humanity, all the humanity must die.

A little recap, since it was explained in the most recent parts of the story in the manga. Most of the "stupid" decisions made by the humans, be it, hunting witches, the random evolution of technology, the genocidal nature they had, etc. Is basically all just a ploy from a "mage", for lack of a better term, since they use a different pronunciation of witch for her in japanese, from another reality, trying to use our mc to revive his beloved and eliminating all the witches since her own magic doesn't work on them, the same "love/charm" magic that our fmc has. This story takes places in an axed manga from the same author, so we are being feed a revenge plot from the mc and fmc point of view while lacking the understanding of the greater plot that probably only the author has. The story feels like a mess most of the time, like a prototype that got published only because the mangaka art is so gorgeous.

You point out that this anime is written poorly because it's just stupid and unrealistic. But if you reflect on our history as a species you'll see that humans are genuinely portrayed accurately. Sorry but I'm a little jaded bro. Killing witches even though they've helped them for countless years? Of course that's something we'd do. We're a species that's so stupid that we killed scores of innocent people in the name of religious crusades, here's some more brutal legit history: salem witch trials, Charles-Henri Sanson and France in general during Napoleon's time with the invention of the Guillotine (authority figures legit killing everyone they didn't like), Pope Gregory IX passing laws banning cats leading to them being killed in mass during the Medieval European black plague era (responsible for how virulent it became since cats would otherwise have killed black plague infected rats and control the outbreak). But that's all ancient history right? We got smarter in modern times, right? Except here's just a random tidbit that I had no idea about until writing this post, if you google "UK killing cats" you'd see articles like: U.K. Briefly Mulled Killing All Pet Cats to Stop COVID-19 "Former U.K. deputy health minister Lord Bethell said it was considered early in the pandemic when little about the virus was known." Yeah, as far as I'm concerned, the writing & logic side of this anime is the least of its problems. Story wise, everything in it could legitimately take place in our world after the removal of fantasy elements (magic). I do like your review of it though and it's well edited too. I just wanted to play devil's advocate despite me not actually liking this anime or being anywhere near a fan of it.

[@BirdLeavesNoEggs]

@@Undead_Grius I more or less agree with you, but not because it's unrealistic. If you make a main character out of real human beings, you would find countless people that you hate or that are just as irrational as the MC in this anime. People who make short sighted decisions, people who make destructive decisions that benefit themselves but hurt everyone else. etc. It's a bad anime to me, because it's just straight up not entertaining. A story is supposed to entertain you, to inspire or evoke emotions, to make you wanna cheer for a main character and root against his enemies/villains. And twists, when they're pulled off right, are really enjoyable too sometimes, but no matter how you look at this anime, it is just trash. I don't actually like this anime bro, I don't have anything positive to say about it, all I said before was our actual world and us as actual human beings act no different. and yes, I do think humans are an irredeemable species. I already mentioned I'm a jaded person. You can call it a childish view if you want, my view stems from my life experiences and the history I read up on. I believe that the human beings from archaic eras are morally the same as the human beings of today. Selfishness and greed make up a large portion of us. But that's a separate point of discussion and I don't really wanna get into it.
