I only read this for Mahiru, and dare I say this is far better executed than it's parent story probably cause Kagami actually planned this out. It's really sad what happened to Seraph of the End, so much fucking potential but fell of in recent years cause the author has lost control of the plot and can't write female characters at all .

The story is average, nothing out of the blue: 5/10
The illustrator is not the same as the main manga or light novel but it this improve as the story progresses: 7/10
Apart from Mahiru all the other characters are really shallow, though I'd like ... to peep the light novels to dwell into this more.

Since this reminds me of SAO...

All girls within a 100m radius of the male protagonist fall for him.
The female lead reminds me of Asuna.
The male lead uses overpowered dual-wielding just like Kirito.
And a lot more SAO crap.

The story of our last crusade takes place in a fantasy universe where two factions, namely, the empire ( consisting of humans ) and the witches are at war. Why? Because the show needed an intrigue. The shows beings roughly 100 years after the outbreak of war, and the action revolves around 2 characters, Iska, the strongest solider in the human empire - except he's not. He just has ... 2 beyond over powered swords. One which can apparently nullify any magic. Imagine being a witch and fighting against that with magic. The second main character is Alice, a direct descendant of Nebulis, the most powerful witch in the world. As both of them represent the "the chosen one" of each faction, it was only natural of them to meet on the battlefield. After a flashy display of unnecessary skills and spells ( since male mc, which we will address as player 1 from now on, could simply cut through her spells if he wanted to ) Alice simply happens to slip on the ice SHE created, directly into player 1's arms, but not before each of them shouts that they want to stop the war. Of course, fate intervenes and the two meet again, this time in neutral city, a city where both factions, although at war and aloof towards each other, simply decided not to fight. And the main characters just so happen to stumble over each other not just once. But again. And again. And again. And again. As they get to know each other, the two realise that the main difference between them as characters is that one of them is female and the other one is male. As they have the exact same tastes, ideals, choice of words etc. A romantic sparks is lit between them. Because we can't have your average wanna be everything anime without romance, right? The plot just goes on, circling around the exact same tropes : random meetings between the two, adding a bit of tinder to their romance, approving of each other's ideas and tastes as much as possible, with a bit of action sprinkled around. As the story moves on, every character which is not directly relevant to the development ( kek ) between the main characters becomes irrelevant.


If you are an SAO fan then you will probably like this anime.
