Synopsis

Enticed by its rumored wealth, Cid Kagenou happily tags along with his sister, Claire, on a trip to the infamous Lawless City. The region is ruled by three monarchs: Yukime, the Spirit Fox; Juggernaut, the Tyrant; and Elisabeth, a dormant progenitor vampire known as the Blood Queen. Hunting Elisabeth down serves as the perfect opportunity for Claire to prove her true mettle. On the other hand, Cid has different objectives—sneaking away from Claire's sight, collecting as much loot as possible, and making Shadow's glorious entrance at the perfect moment.

As Elisabeth's awakening draws near, her subordinate Crimson enacts a treacherous plot, sending the town into a frenzy. Searching for her now-missing brother, Claire finds an unexpected ally in Mary, a vampire hunter, and the pair hurry to the Crimson Tower—the home of the Blood Queen. Meanwhile, Beta and a small team of Shadow Garden recruits also arrive at the Lawless City. As the key players converge on the Crimson Tower, the stage is set for a grand confrontation under the crimson moon.

Apparently based on my review history, I was not really a fan of this anime, and it is also unfortunate that i dont recall as to why i rated it as low as 5. I can kinda see why, and to pay for that disrespect, I tried to pick up this second season.

While i love its very theme, Isekai, Reincarnation, Magic, Fantasy, This anime has it all. Not to mention the so called cliche harem element (EDIT: not your typical harem, a cult type harem which the main character as its leader and has alot of worshipper)(also which, i think, is overrated) is also ...

Mixed Feelings

2nd season is alright. It's not as good as the first, but it's not terrible. It's mediocre. It's whelming. It's okay.

The goods? They pack a lot of story lines into the season. I'm honestly impressed by how much material was used. Was it rush? Oh yeah, definitely. But still enjoyable. You have to understand that in a 12 episode season, there isn't really time to develop plots so prepare for a lot of convenients and expositions. Still, the storyline is very interesting, especially towards the finale. Another positive is of course, the main reason most of us watch the show- the women. No shortage of ...

Not Recommended

I watched this series on a light recommendation from a brother. The series is a mix of" One Punch Man" meets Sword Art Online only without any likeable characters, reasonable character progression or a story worth watching. It baffles me that it has a mal score above 4.

The story is terrible. I was bored throughout, not caring about any of the characters' stories, and wondering when the series would get good.
The art is adequate. It is the only slightly redeeming part of this anime.
Watching this series is like listening to someone tell you about the dream they had last night.

Skip this series.
