Hm....what is special about Theo’s again?

Don’t get me wrong, his growth as a character has been much appreciated.

but I wish the series had effort for him to develop keen battle instinct or something similar

he is special by not being special.
If you really need something that makes him special then its probably that he wears almost no armor while being basically a tank
Oh and that he sucks at sword-play.

At least he got some before he died. Never knew whether Theo went on to 3rd base with Siluca.

Is this series really that bad that the blogger from RandomC stops writing about in mid-way?

What Stilts said in his review of episode 11 after which he stopped.

To be honest, I’m getting to the point where I spend more time ragging on Grancrest Senki than I do enjoying it, because the anime is too rushed and I have serious questions about the source material underneath. Next week appears to be an 11.5 recap episode, so there will be no post, and I may drop the series either here or after another post or two. There are just too many good anime premiering next season, and if it comes down to missing one of those or continuing this, Grancrest is liable to fall by the wayside. Though then again, I dislike dropping series, and a renewed focus on Theo and Siluca could really improve matters. We’ll see how things look over the next few weeks.

And an amusing aversion of the tank stereotype at that... in many settings being the 'tank' entails heavy armor and the ability to endure damage; with speed being an understandable tradeoff; Theo instead leverages speed and agility to avoid the damage (from what I've read, his spar with Irwin in an early episode is a good example of this).

-quote redacted-
If I recall correctly, there are several anime adaptations which have been rightly criticized for trying to rush through their source material... if this is case here, one cannot help but wonder why they're doing it.

For image #1... Theo Cornaro, restauranteur? That'd be an amusing omake, and certainly less eyebrow-raising than Radical Revy-chan...

Image #2: thank you so much for helping me imagine the girls sharing a speech quirk with a certain pair of Corsican siblings...

Well,
It is not RandomC who decides whether an anime is bad or not
just because a popular blogger stop reviewing it, it doesn't mean an anime is bad or not fun

For me personally, before I realised it, Grancrest become the anime that I most eagerly waiting for every week, maybe because I like nariagari genre which is kinda rare. It is quite entertaining and I wished it could be longer than 2 cours.

I don't know why, but only this week did I realise how amazing ED2 Theme, Ayano Mashiro's Shoudou (Impulse), actually is. And the single comes out next week

Villar should have had that pep talk earlier. "Stop agonizing over what she wants, focus on what will make her happy." Then maybe he wouldn't have died, yeah.

What villar relly needs ain't a prep talk, but an idiot's guide to castle defense... But I found it really strange tat Alexis never ever thought more about the consequences of his inactivity as a leader of his people... Why is it that in shows like this, the prettier the men look, the less balls they got?

I don't feel that bad for Villar. He could have stepped up himself and avoided what happened to those that followed him and his people. He was warned what was coming and didn't acknowledge it. That doesn't negate that Alexis should have stepped up himself a long time ago. Frankly the faults of the two of them are what has lead the Union to the state it is in. I'm just glad Theo gave at least Alexis a kick to the rear in terms of some legit motivation.

I give Alexis some slack in that he recognizes his own deficiencies and tried to get more capable people to run things in his place . Feel that is better than idiots who don't know what they are doing but keep on pressing on and making things worse. The problem for Alexis is that no one more capable was willing to do the darn job. Unfortunately no one is willing to take up this job so he's just going to have to figure it out. At least the Union does have some resources and even if he's not the most capable leader/warrior/anything in the world it should be enough to create a balance. Especially since Theo's alliance will be there to support as needed to create a nice stable balance.
