Ranking of Kings
Oshimeter
Synopsis
That adorable storybook art style is a trap. Ranking of Kings will absolutely wreck you emotionally when you least expect it. Prince Bojji is a tiny, deaf kid who can't even lift a sword, born to a legendary giant king in a world where monarchs are literally ranked by power and wealth. Everyone in the kingdom writes him off as useless. His own court would rather crown his younger half-brother. Then Bojji meets Kage, a little shadow creature who's the last survivor of a massacred assassin clan, and somehow these two outcasts form one of the most genuine friendships in recent anime. The early episodes set up what feels like a simple underdog story, but Wit Studio (the folks behind Attack on Titan's early seasons) layers in political intrigue, surprisingly complex characters, and emotional gut punches that hit way harder than a show with this art style has any right to deliver. Across 23 episodes, the series digs into what strength actually means: not just swinging a big sword, but resilience, empathy, and showing up when nobody believes in you. If you liked the emotional weight of Made in Abyss or the underdog journey in The Rising of the Shield Hero, this scratches a similar itch while being its own thing entirely. It's also got that fairy-tale warmth reminiscent of The Ancient Magus' Bride. Just keep tissues nearby around episode three onward.

Not your typical MC. Lip reading Boji redefines what it means to be a protagonist and his gentle nature pulls you in and makes you root for him
One of the best animes I watched when I was younger, unforgettable with its studio ghibli-like visuals and awesomesauce story; it had alice in wonderland like concepts as well, so cute 10/10 watch it rnn
Confused how the result of the climax of the series turned out like this.. Felt like the story and pacing went out the window at second half of the episode; too many questions and plot holes.
How old is daeda actually 🤔, what turn of event, also There's only one episode left for this season, but there's an event that I think will be an important plot, hmmm.. I think its for the next season..
The Animation in this episode is chef kiss!, the fight between bojji and bosse really hype, even tpigh i still don't understand about what bosse think is lol
What a rollercoaster episode, from sad to hype, also i still doesn't understand what bosse really think is, and the animation in this episode is really chef kiss
Despa really the only comedic character in this series lol, and i think its really wholesome that Miranjo is "saved" because kage just say thanks to her
We learn about Miranjo clan in this past, those bastard from gyakuza need more punishment lol, also what ouken means that Despa doesn't need to help him at the time? Or is just trick to make despa lower his guard?
Now we learn about ouken past life, what Bojji gonna do with something that immortal, and i hope they can cure ouken to back to his old self
In this episode we learn that Desha is really good king, he really know what need to do and how things work, he is not an ego king like what i imagine, and i really curious what will happen if Desha really fights against bosse
I kinda dissapointed with the order of the underworld in this episode, how can bunch of knight that said to be the strongest in the world can't defeat a single enemy of them?, in the end Desha is the one who doing everything
I still can't get used to hear Matsudara voice lol, its interesting that even tough they said Desha and Despa are not in good terms, in this episode it shows that the brothers still doing teamwork to defeat ouken
How strong dorsche actually?? He killed like ten of the moster lol, also i hope the knight of the underworld doesn't turn into some bum's group, at least give us some good fight
A little bit recap times from cour 1, and introduction of the villain, from all of 6 i kinda interested with zokku because he is the smart type villain not like the other 5
We have reached the middle of the story, here we are introduced to the villain "team" which so far they seem very strong, but I feel like there is a bit of story that was skipped in this episode.
In this episode we learn what is the power that bojji learn from despa, well its very suited for bojji tough, also i hope we can learn about despa backgroud
In this episode once again we learn how good hiling character is, she really is good mother figure for bojji and daida, but for bosse... I hope he really have good reason for his action
Now we know who is the real villain in this series, also theres so many question i want to ask, i hope there will be the answer and we don't get any plothole
This episode for me is the most funniest episode as far in this series, this despa guys is really funny, and i can't wait about whta happen to bojji after his training with despa
It starting to become more intense, but i still confuse about what apeas want to do, i thought Domas is the most Sus one..
