A good first episode.
I THINK the anime will be Bojji overcoming obstacles and challenges so that he can become the king.

The little goop monster is the best character in this whole show, I swear. Bojji is daft, yet adorable. From what i've heard from friends, this show is going to get even better, and I honestly can't wait.

Wow. This is a good first episode. Underdog story and an underdog anime from what I have heard.

Surprisingly great start, Boji has a lot of potential despite his handicap, we'll see how it will develop but I'm definitely interested

Came into this show thinking what the commotion was all about. As of this episode, I still don't find this **goated** but it is pretty good still.

Pretty good episode tho, I liked the fight at the end and how Bojji did a lil turning the tables.

But anyway, looking forward to more.

I did not expect this anime to make me cry in the first minutes, but guess what.
Maybe it's just me though.

It has been a while since an anime has made me emphatize with the hero this much without me percieving it as a forced and manipulative. Possibly since Devilman: Crybaby.
(Oh, do I see a pattern here?)

Love the art style, animation, and where this is going so far. I'm in. A shame I could only sigh longingly at it sitting on my plan to watch list all this time, but I'm glad I've finally been able to get to it.
I'm ready for more.

NO BECAUSE IM SO LATE WTF??

like i've heard a lot of good things about this anime but didn't give it a try, till my friends recommended it.. kinda hate how i slept on this anime, but also kinda happy since i can binge this.. and still caught up before it ends..

also damn I already like bojji, and I feel so bad for him how others treat him and how he acts like he dont understand anything but deep inside, he is hurt af..

the art style is also good, it reminds me of those 90's anime, its fresh in the eye, and its so unique..

Such a sweet episode. I haven't read the manga and I wasn't either familiar with the plotline of this anime and went in blind because of WIT studios. I wasn't disappointed in the end. The story is very moving and there is so much world-building left for the future episodes- I am very excited to watch this anime series this fall now.


I shed tears ...
The various art styles are beautiful!
Wonderful to have a main character with their impairments.

So the approach of this is going to be like it was a fairytale because that conversation between the shadow and the kid make me feel like I was reading a kid book with how convenient it went.

Honestly, if Boji wasn't deaf nor mute, I feel like he'd still be an idiot.

You can't help but feel sorry for the guy though, because of the fact that people don't see past his disabilities, so don't really want much to do with him. But if they looked past his disabilities, despite being an idiot, he is actually a really sweet, lovable little boy who just wants to be loved.

Kage creeps me tf out though. And he is so mean to Boji. Like, the poor kid doesn't deserve that!

The sort of start I was expecting from this series but well it's just episode 1 so let's see how things go from here.

After pondering whether I should watch this or not ever since it started airing finally decided to give it a go.

So far living up to the hype. Boji is just as endearing as Omni said he would be, and I have high-hopes for his journey to become a respected, just king.

Seems like a solid story so far!

Looks like both sons inherited some skill from their dad. Will he use his epic dodging skills more in later episodes, or was that just a one-time thing?

interesting

admittedly i wasn't a big fan the first half. and then i liked his tutor. but then i felt bad because his tutor was impressed with his brother

didn't expect that fight at all. although i definitely noticed how easily he ran atop the castle wall and then jumped down it's face early in the episode

curious to see how this plays out. little kids tug on my heart strings haha

Ah, such a simple yet vibrant setting.
This feels like an old picture book come to life. I had a vague idea of what I was getting into, but centering a story around a disabled boy & a talking shadow is a first for me as far as I can remember.
