English Dub Review: The Genius Prince’s Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt “Wein Salema Arbalest, Battlefield Tactician”

Overview:

Back home after Natra’s victory, Wein’s sweet dream is dashed by reality. He must lead the defense of the mine they captured, but will his tactics work? Fyshe discovers a secret about Wein’s past. Bad news arrives from Marden but with a silver lining.

Our Take:

I feel like if someone is willing to literally bisect someone for you that automatically makes you best girl. Right? I thought you would agree. One thing I learned is don’t be racist towards Ninym in front of Wein unless you want to lose parts of your body.

The animation has kind of a unique way of getting past complicated battle scenes. Instead of showing a big battle poorly animated or using CGI they just use pieces like they’re on a chessboard. Sure it does kind of make the loss of life a bit impersonal but I think it’s a pretty different way to get past budget limitations. Assuming that’s the reason, I haven’t gotten too far in this light novel series yet. I think I might have to after this though because I am really enjoying the characters. Though I do have a soft spot for lazy but brilliant characters like Wein.
