Especially towards the end where the pace drops considerably and a big bad is introduced at the last moment for some flashy but shallow finale. LEGACY There isn’t anything worthwhile in this anime besides its good artwork. Despite being, you know, about a huge empire clashing with a demon lord for the sake of the whole world, you eventually get a silly fantasy adventure with two dimensional characters you won’t bother remembering outside the doujin you will read about them. While the war escalates in an interesting way and the parties involved grow in numbers, the whole deal remains pretty basic and light to the most part. For the same reason, the anime is silly and eventually forgettable. There are no erotic scenes in the anime version but the game has them in spades and that is why you don’t give a rat’s ass about story and backdrops there. That is right he gets a new wife every few episodes. And everybody doesn’t find that suspicious at all. After that he begins an expedition to become a ruler and along the way he increases his harem. He kills the king and joins a tribe who are at war with an empire. Makes no sense why she fell for that. - The demon lord is summoned but turns out the myths around him are all false. Yeah, as if the two kids won’t be killed by the demon, along with the rest of mankind. The princess is willing to kill herself in order to prevent the summoning but when the king threatens to kill two random kids near by, she agrees to obey him. And then the king can rule a destroyed world… Does that make any sense?- In order to summon the demon, the king needs to sacrifice a princess. So he summons the demon lord in order to destroy the world. Here, let me explain to you what happens in the first episodes in order to get what I mean.- There is this evil king who wants to rule the world. As interesting as it sounds, it is presented completely childishly to the point you are laughing even when they are trying to be serious. The BGM is also nice with its blend of folklore and pop, but there are no memorable tunes in it.SCRIPT & CAST A demon lord is summoned by evil rulers to destroy the world, yet he joins the good guys against the evil empire. Voice acting is ok, albeit too obnoxious for some moe / sexy girls that simply NEED to sound like retards. You never feel like they being serious about it. The battles scenes are semi-interesting as they have some basic choreography and bloody violence, yet in overall they are silly and boring. The animation, although sloppy at points, it is generally smooth. This is the first work by studio White Fox, and I must say they do a splendid job in all the shows they animate (Katanagatari, Steins Gates and Jormungand). The artwork is very detailed in backgrounds and clothing, although the character figures all feel generic.

Neither did most others. PRODUCTION VALUES Very good in overall. Don’t look at me though I never liked that silly show. That anime had a big fanbase and thus people immediately jumped to the conclusion that Tears to Tiara will be great too. The reason is, it was based on a videogame by Aquaplus, the same people who made Utawaremono, another anime adapted by their roster. It seems like most of my anime blu-rays are just in stereo.This anime had a lot of hype before it aired. I agree that the lack of surround sound is annoying, but I don't know if that's just on Sentai. Who knows, maybe that's what some folks actually sound like, but boy is it painful.Īs for the lack of 5.1. They definitely hit the 'vaguely Gaelic' range of accent, but it sounds more like that one aunt who spent a week in Ireland, and now keeps pronouncing shit in an 'Irish' accent, but is more like Mel Gibson's 'Scottish' accent if he had just got punched in the throat. If you want to watch a show with soul crushing attempts at accents, check out Tears to Tiara. The 2 things that jumped out most for me were the way they pronounced Derby and quay. As for the accents themselves, I didn't find them terrible or anything. I thought those were done better than the accents. I actually liked that they tried to use a few anglicisms in that dub.
