The masterpiece nobody expected
_Contains very minor spoilers. Anything relatively major has been tagged appropriately. As always though, this review isn’t suitable for those who want to go into this anime completely blind._<hr/>
I don’t think I was the only one who’d never even heard the name “_Ranking of Kings_” until the day t…

"_Hate the sin, but not the sinner._"

__Ousama Ranking__ is a positively anachronistic work. It draws its aesthetics and charm from adventure series of the 80-90s and repackages them in the form of a classic fairy tale, all while sidestepping the production issues that plague modern TV animati…
Read full review on AniList →After a beautiful first half that moved me, disappointment came in the second.
Honestly, by the end of Ousama Ranking, I felt disappointment. What a wonderful first half, and yet what a downgrade in the second. The drop in the series made me stop caring about a lot of what it built up in the early episodes. The fights sometimes reached Claymore tier levels of animation of char…

It started off really strong, it tear me up when beat-down-Bojji tried to lift the sword but my favorite emotional moment is when Hiling shouts to get a response from Daida, I absolutely loved that scene. And while not as strong…
Read full review on AniList →Great show with a disappointing end
The ending of a story is very important as it can ruin everything that occurred before. A bad ending will linger in your mind when thinking about the story and its hard to even care about the good parts of the story when you know it all leads to disappointment ( e.g. Game of Thrones, AOT) This is th…

Disclaimer: I am not deaf myself. If any deaf people have a different perspective on this show, I would love to be informed about it and am open to changing my opinions in that regard.

Ousama Ranking é incrível. Acredito que essa seja a palavra correta para definir esse anime. Diria até que ele seja subestimado devido o traço infantil, nos remetendo a um desenho que f…

This show is a huge mixed bag of everything to me. We had a potential fight scene of the year candidate, we had characters that cried A LOT (which isn’t all bad), we had a pretty unique narrative overall, and not to mention a BEST BOY candidate for a lot of you for sure, Bojji! I won’t deny that the…
Read full review on AniList →An Inspirational Near-Perfect Show.
Out of the box. A simple term, yet vastly difficult thing to implement. Not to mention the fact that it is basically Gambling to an extent. Breaking free of the established structure is a terribly scary thought. And yet, some people are ambitious enough, or rather have enough courage, to break that…

“Look as hard as you can for the place where you can shine and stay there.”
- Queen Hiling, Episode 23
Ousama Ranking borrows from fairytales to weave an engaging story about loyalty, trust and forgiveness. Its whimsical approach makes for an endearing series that has an exceptionally strong start…

This show is kinda bad.
First, the upsides:
1. Gorgeous visuals. The art and animation is a sight to behold. With each frame looking like it was right out of a children's storybook, it's hard to believe that this show is digitally animated. It's as if it's halfway between digital and cel animati…

As with all my reviews I will be presenting a short backstory regarding my relationship with the series I am reviewing. With Ranking of Kings this backstory is extremely straightforward. I had been told by a handful of my friends that this anime was a must watch series. That being said, much like so…

_This review contains spoilers_
What happened to Ousama Ranking's story? Did someone kidnap the author halfway in and force him to write a mediocre battle shounen with terrible pacing? This show is incredibly confusing to say the least.
Ousama Ranking felt like watching two different shows. Its fi…

I think it is safe to say that no one had heard of Ousama Ranking before the release of this show. But by all means this does n…

I wish I could spend this whole review showering WIT Studio with praise for the gorgeous animation, outstanding sword fight choreography, consistently on-model character designs, and grand orchestral music, as many already have and will continue to. But unfortunately, while these features certainly…

# ~~~__Introduction__

Ousama Ranking, or Ranking of Kings, is a show I did not expect would leave much of an impression on me. Like most who probably started watching it, I saw clips online of the show's cute art style, with positive word of mouth further reinforcing my interest to watch the sho…

Well if I had to say really shortly what i think about it I would simply say it is wholesome.
This revew will only be about this one season because I have only had contact with the anime formart of it.
This revew will be divided in 6 parts: Sinopse full of spoillers; character interaction and likeness; animation and the art style; music; critiques and an overall opinion over the anime.

Hey y'all, this is my second review on anilist, so it probably won't be all that good either, but I really want to say some **** about this anime. I'll say some stuff about me first so feel free to just skip this part if you're only interested in the actual review portion o…

Mute, deaf, and weak, characteristics that have diddly-squat with being a king. These are the traits given to our main protagonist Bojji-sama. Next to inherit the throne after the late Bosse-Sama. A world renown giant, famous for being the strongest entity…
