.woahitsjuanito makes their Paste debut celebrating the sweet, optimistic, and exceptional anime series RankingOfKings:
At first glance, with just an image of a young child in a diaper seated on a throne, one might mistakefor nothing but another mediocre shonen anime that has hit it big in the United States. Or, for those who don’t engage with anime, something of a frivolous kids show.
The words that close out the premiere’s cold opening, “you have to become the greatest king in the world,” are all the explanation one needs from the series for what to expect . Standing apart from the collection of tough shonen protagonists built for extensive fights is Bojji, a naive, deaf prince who can’t even lift a real sword and finds himself the target of everyone’s laughter.
From the first episode, “The Prince’s New Clothes,” it’s clear that the bulk of the action will take place between Bojji and those closest to him , but what the series does so exquisitely is introduce seemingly questionable characters through one perspective only to slowly but surely peel back their cold facades.
