Greetings anime lovers, I am again sharing with you a review and opinion about the anime Ranking of Kings, which is an adaptation of the manga of the same name, was released last year, has 23 chapters by the animation studio Wit Studio , this is one of the animes that I have enjoyed the most for different reasons that I will explain in this publication.
The story takes place in a world of kings as is the title, here there are many kings in charge of different territories and different creatures, there are clans and there is also magic, the kings govern those territories according to the traditions of war and also to inheritance , also these kings are governed by a certain law, because they are evaluated according to a raking being the first places the most powerful kings such as King Bosse, this is the father of the protagonist, this king is a giant and therefore the most strong of all kings, on the contrary his son Bojji is a very small child and without any physical strength, his biological mother died but he lives with the King's new wife named Hiling and his half brother named Daida, not only physical strength of Bojji is little but cannot speak either and communicates by signs.
The first thing that caught my attention about this anime is how irony and uncertainty are handled, that is, one is hooked wanting to find the reason why a giant King had such a small son with so many physical difficulties, Bojji is the heir of the throne but both his brother, as well as the people of the court and the people themselves do not believe that he should be king, they consider that his younger brother Daida would be the most appropriate for the position, but Bojji compensates his physique with his intelligence, but there are people skeptical , especially since his father King Bosse supported his kingdom based on physical force as an endorsement of the people he protected .
Faced with such irony in Bojji's life, the anime begins leaving many questions and creating the desire to know, when the King dies there is a kind of conspiracy that is handled within certain circle of characters, knowing what is happening is something natural in an expectant, but I love that anime plays a lot with the psychology of each person, their sympathy or trust, there comes a point where you don't know who to trust, but fortunately Bojji gets his first friend in life, a shadow called Kage, this is another child who is a survivor of the shadow clan, this clan is believed exterminated because it represented many threats to the kingdom, this shadow child quickly sympathizes with Bojji and will help him in all his way.
It can be said that dirty games, alliances and betrayals are very common in stories where there is a monarchy, but this anime is not like a Game of Thrones, although there are kings and magic too, this anime has many different things , on the one hand the tenderness, kindness, audacity and determination of Bojji as the main character is unmatched, on the other hand the dark and even cruel images of the history of the kingdom, the underworld and the current events of Bojji is something amazing because it contrasts so much , the colors of the animation and the whole design of the people is very beautiful in the sweet sense of the word, but the things that happen, especially the magical rituals and scenes are as creepy as they are cute, because even the demons have characteristics that They make us put ourselves in their place and be empathic.
I highly recommend this anime because it's also short, it's beautiful, it has no waste or padding, it has an interesting story and complex characters.
