Premise: After a royal wedding ends in tragedy and rips the land apart, a warrior named Theo Cornaro partners with the mage Siluca Meletes to try and restore peace to the world.

The Good: Early on, some fight scenes were fun in a turn-your-brain-off way. Characters mowed down faceless mobs like they were in Dynasty Warriors. I also didnt mind Theo and Siluca, at least until the plot became too big to focus on them and they became generic good guys. A lot of the lords had fun gimmick armies, like a pirate lady or one based on Greek phalanxes.

The Bad: In the first half of Record of Grancrest War, my biggest problem was its absurd pacing. This got worse in the second half with infodumps to try and catch viewers up to why whole new factions were rising and falling with little focus. The villains were also the worst kind, often acting evil for the sake of evil when a simple negotiation would solve most of their problems. Marrine in particular was awful, nothing she did made sense yet no one ever called her out on it. Grancrest was marred by poor production values, too, with the art and animation falling apart more and more the closer it got to the end.

Overall: Record of Grancrest War kept managing to reach new lows the longer it went on. Even the few fun ideas it had couldnt outweigh confusing motivations and pointless war crimes. Breakneck pacing also made the plot impossible to care about.
