My Review of "Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra: World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin"!
And the winner for this season’s longest title goes to…
Story
Takuto Ira dies from an illness (not Truck-kun) and gets reincarnated into a world that isn’t the strategy game he played (Eternal Nations), but a world that resembled it, representing the evil civilization Mynoghra. With a powerful hero by his side, Atou, Takuto uses his powers to recreate Mynoghra and bring it back to what it was.
Characters
Takuto Ira is the number 1 player of Eternal Nations and was reincarnated into a world that incorporates Eternal Nations mechanics. He’s a strategic leader, but he struggles with communication. That’s where Atou comes in. Not only is she the powerful hero of Mynoghra, but she also helps relay messages from Takuto. She’s quite fond of Takuto, being jealous when he shows affection to others.
The Good
I really like the concept of this anime. Going into it, I thought it was just gonna be another “reincarnated into a video game” cliche anime, but this show really did something different. There were a couple of scenes that felt brutal, which was a bit nice to see considering a lot of isekai anime similar to this don't show the same amount of brutality that some scenes of this anime show. I really liked that later on, they mixed different genres of video games and found a way to make them work without disregarding too many of either of their features. I thought how they combined them was clever, and I think it really kept my interest for this show. I mean, seeing Tabletops, RPG, and a turn-based strategy game all combined together was interesting to see. If there’s a season 2, I would definitely watch it to see how many more genres would show up and mesh because I liked that idea.
The Bad
At first, this anime did feel exactly like a 4x turn-based strategy game, with the pacing and world-building not being the exact best. However, I think this show does pick up later on, especially with the different genres of games being introduced into the story.
The Downright Ugly
Nothing downright ugly about this anime.
Is It Worth The Watch?
I think that if you’re interested in turn-based strategy games, this show does a good job emanating that feeling while also still feeling like an entertaining anime to watch. Despite its few issues that showed up, overall, this show was quite fun with how it incorporated other video game genres and really does make me want to play a game like Eternal Nations (Although I’d probably get bored playing it lol).
Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope this helped you with your decision on whether to watch this anime or not! If you already have watched it, I hope that you can agree with me with some of the points I made. If you enjoyed this review, I would greatly appreciate a follow too! ^^
