started this new anime called Ousama Ranking
Its about a young prince who dreams of becoming king, but he's small, weak and has communication disabilities. So he faces a uphill climb to achieving a goal that a less determined person would've abandoned long ago.
-The artstyle and general tone of this show is very endearing. Has the feel of a Ghibli film that appeals to childlike sensibilities but has themes that adults will understand. Big one here is what does it take to be a ruler and for others to follow behind you. How does one survive in an environment of rampant discrimination, political corruption and carve a path for themselves.
-Seems like a straight up coming of age story that perhaps will evolves into an open world adventure series. At least so far, there's nothing weird about it in a typical Japan fanservice kinda way.
-Handled by Wit Studio. Everything they touch is quality pretty much and this being no exception, animation is great and I feel that the direction is too. Already confirmed for two cours.
I like it. A lot. I think others ITT would like it too, but obv not for everyone. If by episode 2 you don't feel moved by Boji & Kage, I'd say drop it for good.
