The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System Gets a First Impression
The review highlights a potentially fresh angle in the reincarnated-into-a-game genre: the world is not identical to the game, which could set the series apart from similar titles.
Reporting from 1 sources: Beneath the Tangles.
Beneath the Tangles published a first-impression review of the anime The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System, now streaming on Crunchyroll. The piece notes the show's standard fantasy setup but praises its visual quality and a twist where the world differs from the game it is based on.
The first episode of The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System follows noble Elymas as he receives the Heavy Knight class during a ritual, only to be disinherited when a relative gets the more respected Master Swordsman class. The review from Beneath the Tangles notes the show looks good, with strong outdoor and cityscape shots, and that Elymas discovers the world is not the same as the game he remembers. That difference could make the series more interesting than standard fantasy fare. The reviewer found the pacing thrown off by an early future-set fight scene but plans to watch the next episode. The anime streams on Crunchyroll.
