Synopsis

Lux, a former prince of an empire named Arcadia that was overthrown via a rebellion five years earlier, accidentally trespasses in a female dormitory's bathing area, sees the kingdom's new princess Lisesharte naked, incurring her wrath. Lisesharte then challenges Lux to a Drag-Ride duel. Drag-Rides are ancient armored mechanical weapons that have been excavated from ruins all around the world. Lux used to be called the strongest Drag-Knight, but now he's known as the "undefeated weakest" Drag-Knight because he will absolutely not attack in battle. After his duel with Lisesharte, Lux ends up attending the female-only academy that trains royals to be Drag-Knights. (Source: ANN)

Audience Consensus

The audience consensus is largely negative due to the show's unoriginality and reliance on tired harem tropes. Some viewers found it enjoyable on a superficial level or as a 'guilty pleasure' due to its sheer absurdity. However, most were disappointed by the weak story, underdeveloped characters, and generic execution, leading to an overall mediocre reception.

Strengths

  • Decent art style and animation quality.
  • Some enjoyable action scenes with well-done sound effects.
  • A few found the show 'so bad it's good' due to its over-the-top cliches.

Weaknesses

  • Generic and predictable story with little originality.
  • Poorly explained plot points and world-building.
  • Weak character development and reliance on harem tropes.
  • Overuse of CGI in mech battles.
