Tensai Ouji no Akaji Kokka Saisei Jutsu

I usually don't like Feudal-Political shows, because most of the time i don't understand half of what is happening, and the twists are just ass-pulled plot devices. Tensai Ouji doesn't break from this. It also takes tropes and themes from other fantasy shows, like the classic OP protagonist. Most of the time, Wein explains what he is doing to a character that is as oblivious to the situation as we are, and then does something unexpected, and solves it brilliantly. So what is good about this show? The fact that it is a comedy. Yes, the reason why Wein is going through so much stress over political issues is so stupid it is funny. The way he deems himself as a genious, plans carefully everything so he can sell the kingdom and leave it all behind, but then some stupid noble's son kill himself drunk and ruins everything is hilarious, and honestly makes up for everytime i didn't understand what was going on. You see, most of the time we see mistery, or clash of minds in anime, it is just ass-pulls and situations going perfect. This one considers the most realist thing you can have in a plot, and uses it amazingly for comedy: Chaos. Chaos will make sure that even our OP mastermind protagonist will be entertainig. I do need to mention that, while some characters are too dumb to compete, others like Ninym and Lowellmina will sometimes make Wein look stupid, and they are honestly the best characters of the show. The relationship between those three is so cool i started wishing we would see some episodes on their time studying together. Art is leaning towards mediocre, but I honestly didn't mind the animated dolls/dots/chibis/flags representing how armies were moving in the battlefield, because they do the job at helping visualize what is going on. I prefer this over half-assed animation. Overall, even though the show suffers from budget production, it is interesting. I never got bored from it, and even laughted sometimes. I was expecting a horrendous anime, but finished it actually wanting a second season.
