King's Raid is probably the most generic and boring fantasy series I have seen, at least concerning Kasel’s storyline which is like walking slowly down ten kilometers of a straight concrete corridor, with nothing else to see and is sterile, boring, exhausting, and predictable. You even know who exactly is the main villain after the first few episodes. Moreover, the character Kasel is not interesting or memorable, in fact, he is quite bland. This is said to be an example of a poor adaptation of the game, because, in the original RPG, Kasel is quite original and even entertaining (gamers said). The rest of his team lack interesting characteristics too. Truth be told, Kasel's storyline made me often feel like just skipping over his part. Now, onto Riheet. This storyline is much more interesting at first, promising a political edge and the possibility of some good character development. It was the episodes with the Dark Elves that made me stick with this anime series, as I really wanted to know what would happen next. However, that storyline soon abruptly stops, and what I was really quite interested in does not get addressed, and so the following episodes are just all about the search for the truth (where some essential details are lacking, like what exactly the relationship between Riheet and Illiya is) and again, quite boringly. Then, of course, the two storylines cross and meet each other, and I liked the teamwork displayed in the final battle and, of course, the utterly predictable ending. The ending may even seem oddly mildly satisfying (just because we finally get what it is about, and it is over). However, the ending only improved my impression of the show slightly and was too little too late. One good point I have to also mention is the absence of crappy animal mascots, because truth be told I was subconsciously and according to the established "fantasy according to the game" tradition also expecting that here... 3.3/10.
