Also I watched the war of the roses anime and it was dope too.

I may be incapable of disliking something.

I've got some test cases available if you're interested in applying science to this problem.

We can start with Skelter Heaven, Mars of Destruction, and the Mr. Neutron episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus. If there's no response there, we've got a pretty good case.

Okay it doesn't grab me quite as hard as Akudama Drive or Dangan Ronpa did out of the gate but the episode 1 throwaway villain pitches with a suit of power armor and a baseball railgun so I'll give it a chance.

The rest of the stuff after that looks like they are just straight up shots from an episode of dialog rather than anything made specifically for the OP too. Every shot has someone flapping their mouth.

Apparently it was actually in twos, but it just looks off probably because there is no motion blur whatsoever and is probably not key framed particularly well.

The rest of the episode was ok; not amazing, but ok. That opening though, woof that one was rough.

I mean the ending was 100% shots from the episode we just watched put in a fancy frame, so that is probably spot on.

tons of the current wave of fantasy LN shows use that exact same circular walled medieval city design

it's kind of become an emblem of the genre's sameness and lack of imagination but they keep throwing it out there

I think that’s just generic medieval city, not based on that one specifically.

No, its based on a specific city. Nordlingen has a pretty distinctive look because it was built in the impact crater of a meteorite.

There's absolutely no reason to be watching 'Genius Prince' if you're not already watching 'Realist Hero' which is on it's second season right now.

I was literally wondering if there was some gently caress up and the episode was released out of order. It's like they are trying to do a speed run of the plot. They are going to catch up to the manga probably next episode if they keep this pace.

From what I could see in the OP (such as it was) there are definitely LN 2 characters being shown, which is faster than I had anticipated. It's possible they could fill in the Ambassador stuff more via flashbacks, so I'm going to reserve judgement until I've seen another episode or two.

Two shows where the protagonist are working to rebuild the collapsing economies of their respective kingdoms and protect their kingdoms from various diplomatic and martial crisis are different concepts?
Sure there are some differences in the specifics, but my ultimate argument is, if you're watching the one that seems to be less well produced (Genius Prince) and aren't watching the other one (Realist Hero) that's being handled better, then you're doing something wrong.
