How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom (2021–2022) User Reviews

The premise is taken quite seriously

[chasercarrington · 7/10 · 5 January 2022]

The overarching story and world have a lot of potential. I really appreciate the real consequences of political missteps instead of just making up once you've defeated an enemy.

The world looks generic of the surface but is quite unique and well thought out. The show has tons of elements to work with because the big bad and bigger nations haven't even made an appearance yet. The real icing on the cake would be if the mc really became the tyrant that everyone is trying to avoid creating but that out come seems unlikely.

The biggest issues with the show is there awful limited animation in some scenes and the harem / iseki tropes that fell out place most of the time but do have some relevance to the plot.

It's definitely worth the watch.

Good story !! I hope to see more soon.

This anime has a good story and good animations.

But the most important thing about this anime is that it doesn't have boring chapters.

Ultimately a little disappointing, but still enjoyable.

How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom asks for a lot of patience from its viewers, and I have to warm you it doesn't exactly pay off. Your enjoyment of this anime will entirely depend on if you find they journey to get to nowhere an entertaining one, and I kind of did. This show follows a guy who is reincarnated into a medieval world with warring countries, and uses his knowledge from his past life to lead the county he's helping. I thought this idea, although executed slowly, was well done and I found it entertaining to watch. This show is labeled as a romance; it is not and don't expect one or you'll be disappointed. A season 3 or a movie to wrap up the story would've helped this show a lot, but as it stands its ending is very rushed and rather unsatisfying. Overall I cannot recommend this show to a casual anime fans, not even for a one time watch. Only if you meet the criteria I described and the issues I pointed out don't bother you, then give it a watch.

Very Boring Isekai, Lame Protagonist, Demon King is Nowhere to be found

[barmanarya · 6/10 · 2 May 2022]

How a Realist Hero rebuilt the Kingdom is boring as hell. While I was watching it each episode seems like eternity, it was very frustrating. Realist Hero What? I mean he was teleported into a magical kingdom where people got magic, demons and monster exists, and there is a Demon King too and he himself got magic and the writer is talking about reality! There is nothing "Heroic" about the protagonist. Also they say the Demon King wants to take over the kingdom, yet he is nowhere to be seen. You watch all the episode in season 1 and he never showed up, not even once. Maybe the Demon King like to rest and sleeps too much. Maybe he will start working in season 2. Nope, he is nowhere to be found even in season 2. That is some real Demon King, who wants to take over the Kingdom. Who does absolutely nothing in whole 2 season. Also why is the protagonist even called a Hero let alone a Real Hero, all he does is manage the Kingdom as best as he can. It about a king and his management system. There is no Hero in the story.

In conclusion it is a very boring Isekai with a Lame Protagonist and his kingdom management system.

Best Isekai in my opinion

[AlexanderGGA01 · 9/10 · 4 August 2021]

THis is one of the best isekai anime that i ever seen,very mature in terms of advices and about menaging a kingdom! Very interesting aproch to the story! Needs to be done in season 2 and more!

Really great series

[kennyT-19987 · 10/10 · 1 January 2022]

I enjoyed this series show much that I binged watched it, there's so much to appreciate in this anime. I like the story, the war scenes, also Characters.

As the name suggests if a mature civil servant got summoned to another world that was on the brink of war, how would they conduct themselves as the summoned hero?

You guess its as realist as they come right, so that's exactly it in this anime.

I love how economy restrains are addressed in this series and how the character tackles challenges as they come along.

Having said all of this you would need 100+ episodes to show the full depth of the world building, its amazing how the producers managed to condense information so much with an awe entertaining series. Well Done Team!

Hope to see more of this show soon :)

Waste of time and peace

[ancin-27034 · 1/10 · 16 April 2022]

Tried to copy rise of shield hero with disgustingly sexist writing...Very poor storyline.. Season 1 is somewhat tollerable Season 2 is just waste of time.

Addicting

[demonsbd · 10/10 · 25 April 2022]

To be honest, there are a lot of problems in the story from the viewpoint of a critical watcher. But like every other media, Anime is also solely for enjoyment. And I have enjoyed this 26 episodes and binged it in one sitting. The story is not very complex, not so many things are going on at the same time that need a lot your attention. A very relaxing watch. I loved the series. I will be waiting for another season.

They lost their track

[malayakumar-27810 · 8/10 · 25 June 2022]

I definitely liked this series,as i am fan of base building,adventure,magic,action,romance,isekai. But their were few issue that concerned me.(1)i know this series name is how a realistic hero rebuilt the kingdom but they made it a little bit realistic way which i didnot like(2)No need to explain unnecessary things thoroughly (3) as this series mentioned this has genre action where is it i was very disappointed in it as it is lack in actions as we are talking about fighting demon lord not only building nation(4) there is magic in this series where is the use of it.this is the major point here how they didn't actually utilise magic for their own benefits and the protagonist,well he is here to save his Kingdom from demon lord not for base building so why didn't he yet gain knowledge about any magic nor he did any training, this way that would be much more fun to watch. This series desperately need actions scene which are atleast the level of wisemans grandchild,if they can do their actions scene like sword art online then it will be even better(5)And here season 2 ended there is only the protagonist expanding his dominion,while the demon lord is there sitting on chair while sipping tea and enjoying the show.they have no concern for what is he upto or how should they defeat demon lord they only are prioritizing building their domain.i am 110% sure that the 7.1 rating would have been 8.0 if the writer and director took it into consideration. Point to be noted: this series need more serious action scenes and i will prefer a little bit more romance.otherwise this series is a must watch.plus points of this series:i liked the animation very much, storyline is pretty good,All the characters are designed beautifully .if they make their new season with a little bit of actions and romance.i am sure this series will grow more.although this is my personal preference i will leave it to you guys that you should watch this or not after reading my review. EXpecting so good things from season 3. Dont disappoints your fans creator.

Best Ending

[bjsupaul · 10/10 · 19 April 2022]

I mainly rate anime not only by the plot, characters and so many other aspects. But alot of the time the ending are what makes an anime so good too, seeing how everything turns out after everyone's hard work and challenges. I just absolutely love this ending, it had a peaceful but classic harem ending, yet everything worked out and it kinda gives you that perfect ending vibe where there is no need to bring out another season. I absolutely love this anime.

Amazing anime

[dwellfam · 10/10 · 24 April 2022]

Complex storyline with a beautiful women and magic.... I love it....make many more episodes. The lead character is smart and like every day people. I love summon stories also.

Poorly written and sexist.

[Kristi_Hicks · 1/10 · 13 March 2022]

Just another generic anime where the lead male character collects a harem of unintelligent women. Nothing "realist" about it. Just a poorly written anime and the animation got worse as it went along.

Don't waste your time.

Love the storyline

[silverdolphin-26956 · 10/10 · 23 August 2023]

I love the story line for this anime. Believe it or not to most it's very educational as well as funny, energetic, and amazing to watch me and my family can't wait to see the next seasons bring next and seeing the completion and how the final ending will be. We absolutely love it. Keep up the awesome work. I love how the story has realistic situations implemented into it as well as action and fantasy combined along with it. The different people in it. Human, beast people, dragon people, elves, witches, demons. It has adventure guilds and kingdoms of battles as well as the struggle to become united.

Interesting Idea

[avikdragon · 9/10 · 31 August 2023]

The intricately woven narrative of "How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom" captivated my attention from start to finish, immersing me in a world where politics, strategy, and innovation take center stage. The main character's deft navigation through the complex web of political dynamics, coupled with the ingenious solutions he presents, forms the beating heart of this captivating tale. Every twist and turn in the story left me yearning for more, making it an anime that I found undeniably addictive.

However, amidst the brilliance of its narrative, there was a single facet that slightly diminished the otherwise immersive sense of realism carefully crafted within the series. This aspect revolves around the protagonist's involvement in a harem-like scenario, where he finds himself entangled with multiple romantic interests rather than dedicating his heart to a singular relationship.

Kazuya Souma's journey to restore a kingdom on the brink of collapse by utilizing his modern knowledge and strategic acumen is undeniably enthralling. His pragmatic and informed approach to governance, including implementing groundbreaking agricultural advancements, instituting administrative reforms, and devising ingenious diplomatic strategies, sets him apart as a protagonist of rare caliber.

It's within this backdrop of political intrigue and strategic brilliance that the series weaves in a romantic subplot, introducing a variety of female characters who are drawn to Kazuya's charisma and leadership. While this element undoubtedly adds a layer of complexity to his character, some viewers may find themselves questioning the realism of his simultaneous romantic entanglements.

In conclusion, "How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom" masterfully combines political machinations and innovative problem-solving, offering a uniquely engaging narrative that leaves an indelible mark on its audience. While the protagonist's involvement with multiple romantic interests may, for some, undermine the sense of realism the series strives for, it remains an inescapable fact that this anime has successfully etched itself into the annals of captivating storytelling.

Why am I getting an education and enjoying it???

[noefaz81 · 8/10 · 22 September 2023]

Ok so normally you watch these for fun and shut off brain. Instead I'm here relearning economics, import export, trade, supply and demand, warfare and negotiations. What did I sign up for? I'm having a blast and I'm barely on episode 17. I'll update if it goes downhill but I am so enjoying the education and fantasy but they way it's presented is entertaining and the it's not too straight of a story so you get surprised enough that things stay fresh. It's a treat when I get to watch each episode and it only keeps me wanting more. The balance in how the story is told is magic in itself. I'm avoiding revealing things cause I would hate to ruin anything and I hope people feel the same way. I found myself laughing out loud cause I didn't expect to be learning concepts I was aware of but hadn't heard of in a simple and clear way. I really can't get over the fact it's not a dead brain watch of a show. I just stopped watching another show after season one and two episodes of an unnamed anime that made me angry at the unbalanced story and illogical storytelling. When you end up hating the Main character and don't feel anything for the side characters and don't care if they die it's bad. But this show it's refreshing and is making up for all that time I wasted on that other show. One other think I like is they aren't afraid to get deep at times and funny at other times as well as emotional and even have violence. The characters are similar to regular people in terms of we are both kind and violent, happy and sad, focused and distracted, loving and spiteful. Some anime's stick a character in a box that isn't able to get out and change shape. Sometimes you get a character who's 99% angry and that's their schtick and basically one dimensional throughout. Here im seeing many sides and it changes spending on the situation and what's required. I'm happy one of the characters hasn't been all business focused at all times but has moments where business or political leader isn't what's needed and it's time to shift to war general mode and then back to kind leadership but with authority. I get the vibes of "it's better to be warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war" the characters been setup to always be prepared. That doesnt mean focus on getting stronger so you can be an ultimate fight and be a beat and tough all day and night. It means be able to be the fighter but also train to be the smartest and kindest and best prepared person all around. Sharpen all your skills. Why am I trying to be all deep in a comment about an anime. Lol. I'm dumb and laughing at myself. I guess I really like this show so far.

I hate harem...they ruined my favorite couple...season 1 was favorite but season 2 sucks...totally got different vibe in season 2

[ranesupriya-01074 · 9/10 · 25 April 2024]

I really liked first season..but season 2 sucks...I literally hate harem 🤢..I thought in season 2 they will show souma and princess but they ruined it

Idk why most of the animes needs to make into harem?why whywhy?harem concept is disgusting

Literally. Some anime I wanted to watch bez of charaters but I stopped watching it i middle bez of this harem part

Literally souma and princess romance was peaceful in seaoson 21 and I wanted to show progress in season 2 but in season 2 they totally ruined the vibe of the drama ..

They should have showed the how prince would fall for princess..but no..they need to make everything into harem..

I hate this anime concept so much..Literally most of the isekai animes are harem one..
