Copied from my Mal account: https://myanimelist.net/profile/siddhass26 Warning Minor Spoilers Ahead Le chevalier deon isnt the most appealing or overthetop battle royale type alternate history anime. Its a realistic depiction of the behaviour of the so called masters for whom their loyal ones though valued were just a toy. We get to see one of the most accurate of human behaviour plausible to the viewers. The anime delves deep into topics like loyalty betrayal and honor and how somepeope were bound to them no matter what happens even if the masters had ill motives towards them even if they knew it was bad but they stil wouldntl break the knot of loyalty and alleigance to maintain their honor as a knight. This anime delves into the life of the hideous people for whom loyalty wouldve been just as bad as death. No one is good nor bad you simply cant trust anyone in this age. Again in the characters arent developed or fleshed out that well but they somehow represent their historical counterparts pretty well like Robespierre is rebellious Deon and Lia are loyal no matter what. And even though the character development isnt best the show does great job at hiding the real motives of its main characters and their emotions and springs them out are out really well towards the end when majority of the shows revelations are made. The plot of this story is major thing of this series on paper but as i said prior the real deal of this series is exploring things related to human behaviour and historical problems so the plot is there to carry the story to its revelation. The murdermystery saga ends at episode 13 the real deal starts after that. The Magic in this story isnt necessary since removing it wouldnt have affected the plot a lot but it was pretty well explained except for a certain things. This anime is a slow burner and not for everyone. Quite a lot of episodes are elongated and later the climax is sorta rushed but again its accurate to how it wouldve happened historically. In a blink of an eye. The animes historical accuracy is laughable at times but its characters are as expected well portrayed so now problem there from my side. Animation and Visuals are great but the animation gets really sloppy at times and it isnt moe or other cute shit in anyway. The backgrounds are lowkey gorgeous to look at and I feel like Im in France so props for that. Music and Soundtrack is great as well and I love the OP its beautifully written and describes the emotions of our main character. The only bad thing is that even though the show is accuarate realistic and simply well made it isnt the memorable like other shounentype shows so the strengths of this show are its weaknesses. All in all it was a great show which gave great insights on how royalty and power would really work in the olden days with a gripping supporting plot added to it. It was a great show with just few squabbles along the way. So Ill give this show a 90 out of 100
90 /100
