21 [Similar Anime] Like Record of Grancrest War

Seems to be a very similar premise, where a charismatic, but weak individual gathers up other, stronger or more knowledgeable people to help accomplish their vision and goals that may go against the grain of the current prevailing forces. There are also similarities in that the main character's allies are potentially somewhat manipulative.

War anime involving lots of battles taking place in a variety of locations. They also both tie in strategy plans while the battle occurs, rather than explaining things afterward

Do you like stories of noble, romantic conquest? Epic-style armies resting their lives down because of good guy heroes proclaiming his will for the people? Some light political intrigue as a buffer for the plight that is to come? Both of these titles should be serviceable in the above mentioned.

You see in both:

Although their premises and plot progression are completely different, they're both stories set in a medieval fantasy setting filled with armies battling each other, lots of violence and death, super powers or magic, romance between two enemies and political overtones. So if you liked one you would probably like the other.

Both were set in a certain time period where warring factions fight for supremacy, except one was set in some quasi european setting while the other is more on the oriental east, one was more of supernatural and fantasy while the other has an odd kind of sci-fi in it.

It involves wars where the principle of peace is at stake, and where one strives to get over the other in order to achieve victory.

Grancrest is similar to many of the main Fate series/movies.

While Grancrest is not about forbidden love there is large percentage of the show dedicated to romance. It's also a romance with lots of fighting with main male character and main female character taking part in the fighting. Also, the main character's feel similar in some aspects to main character's in Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjou, Aruiwa Sekai ga Hajimaru Seisen. Trust me if you liked Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjou, Aruiwa Sekai ga Hajimaru Seisen, there's a good chance you will like Grancrest.

If in this season you liked a war in a fantasy world, then I recommend this anime, that is most of it about wars

Both have political issues to resolve with plenty of action and a dash of romance if you enjoy one the other is sure to please.

Grancrest Senki is based on a tabletop RPG, much like how Overlord was influenced by Dungeons and Dragons. As such, Grancrest does not hesitate to flex its worldbuilding muscles; every character oozes, well, character and every introduced faction (representing different countries in the anime) has a distinct and vibrant culture. Though it lacks the comedy that Overlord is known for, Grancrest Senki is a must watch for any worldbuilding lover.

Both have the same plot where it involves a mage and adventurer relationship, except one has a bit of a serious side while the other has a comedy side.

Do you enjoy fantastical rules that affect the setting as much as the cast? Armies and political intrigue as common spices to your fantasy adventures? What about observing the plight for an unassuming ruler to rise and do their part for their people? Both anime in question provide these surreptitious, zesty epics with relish.

Both are about war and wandering people who form up party.

Shoukoku no Altair and Grancrest Senki are anime with idealistic protagonists and supportive comrades fighting to establish peace. Grancrest Senki is a fantasy anime that holds a lot of promise. Its biggest asset is the pitched battles that make up the anime, but its biggest flaw is the plot development for those battles. Shoukoku no Altair uses its historical setting to create a stronger plot development. Both anime try to satisfy your craving for watching fighting armies and court dramas. Watch Shoukoku no Altair for less ridiculousness. Watch Grancrest Senki for heroic battles.

Far better character drama, easier to track the plot. No one is an overpowered demigod, nor does anyone really become a badass without earning it.

Both are set in a medieval fantasy world that is plagued by some sort of malevolent force that brings about war on a grand scale. In addition, both male lead characters have the ability to gain magic power from others.

Kingdom and Grancrest Senki are so focused on army battles that almost every episode features armies fighting. Grancrest Senki prefers quick resolutions. Almost every battle ends in one or two episodes. Quick battles are needed because the overarching narrative uses battles to move the plot forward. Kingdom prefers to build-up the tension through longer engagements. Longer battles are used to develop characters through overcoming hardships.

For someone who likes fantasy adventures that involve magic and warring kingdoms both anime are a good choice. For people that aren't to fond of this genre, they may still grow on you, because of some characters, the mature themes or the story twists.
But be warned they are also simular in their bad points like pasting and to many characters.

In both fantasy anime we have a heroine from high status met our hero protagonist blessed with great power from low status.
