I've currently making my way through Grancrest War, I'm not sure how I feel about this one. It's been on my watch list for the longest time and I finally decided to give it a go. I was sold on the first few episodes but then the story kind of shifted and I became less interested to me. It seems like there's a handful of good episodes here and there but also some pretty dull ones too. The first couple of episodes gave me a kind of a slime isekai vibe without the humour. Theo getting crests, lands and allies seems very similar to Rimuru doing the same.
I remember Grandcrest. It picks up a bit at the end but Theo always feels super powerful compared to enemies and he will suddenly come into his own and become a major shot caller towards the end. That change is jarring. It was an interesting watch. Like it feels like there should be more politicking but more often than not something happens and then people tell you all these unforeseeable political fallouts and then eventually no one cares about them and they just start doing whatever - and it's for "good" but it sort of defeated the purpose of the politics as a constraint on power.
