There exists hierarchy even in the fantasy world of magic in I Was Reincarnated As The 7th Prince So I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability, and Lloyd the 7th Prince of Saloum kingdom wasn’t so much gifted in the magical side in his previous life which changes after his reincarnation.
So he tested both sides of life, a devastating failure and also an overwhelming success.
However, all of that was of very little importance to him since all he had in his mind was magic and its inner workings.
So, this is Lloyd, and he was described this way in the anime I Was Reincarnated As The 7th Prince So I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability, which was adapted from the manga illustrated by Kokuzawa Yosuke, directed by Tamamura Jin and is presented by Tsumugi Akita Animation Lab.
Lloyd and the world surrounding him is the subject matter of this series, which we will explore further.

Animation Quality And Character Design Of I Was Reincarnated As The 7th Prince So I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability
This anime doesn’t only have a long title, but a quality animation to go along with it.
Starting from a monochrome palette, it soon transitions into quite vibrant scenes that don’t appear flashy.
This transition doesn’t affect the story in a bad way but stimulates the visual aspect of the viewers in such a way that they feel the feeling of a time trip along with the protagonist Lloyd.
All the action sequences are fluid and not overly exaggerated, making the overall experience quite wholesome since all other scenes except the action sequences have a unique transition, which neither makes it too out of the norm nor too generic.
while we are talking about, let’s also talk about character designs.
The protagonist is designed uniquely, a male child with quite a delicate feminine body, which goes so well with the character description of the Protagonist, who is the pampered 7th prince of a kingdom.
Otherwise, none of the characters is portrayed in an oversimplified way.
Those characters are also not presented too much realistically.
However, what is lacking in this series, is the villains are not so impactful, which makes some of the action sequences dull even though the animations are quite good.
Worldbuilding
Worldbuilding in I Was Reincarnated As The 7th Prince So I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability is with very less flaws.
All the locations, be it inside dungeons, desolate lands, or dangerous forests, none of those portrayed locations are devoid of their charms, which further added to the great cause of storytelling.
The capital itself is quite a beautifully depicted location, where the story begins, and all the locations of the villain fights had their vibes that were upheld accordingly.
The world where magic reigns supreme is shown in quite a lighthearted way, which could be a good thing but also be a bad thing.
It could be a good thing because all the difficult inner work of society isn’t present there, so one could simply enjoy a lighthearted fantasy, however, this also could be the reason why it could be lacking, since due to this approach, the overall structure of the society depicted in the series couldn’t be described.
Protagonist In I Was Reincarnated As The 7th Prince So I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability
The protagonist in I Was Reincarnated As The 7th Prince So I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability series is not like any other fantasy series, neither goody two shoes, nor antagonistic, instead somewhat of a deviant, who is obsessed with magic in such a degree, that when it comes to magic his morale compass even his rationality stops functioning.
A grown-up in a child’s body, who maintains a child’s curiosity regarding magic, is the protagonist Lloyd.
This series doesn’t shy away from displaying all the traits of the OP protagonist, just as those are, which may sometimes seem cliche and too predictable, but the sequence of events does make up for that.
Interaction Between Protagonist And Other Important Characters
All the other characters and the protagonist have their fair share of interaction which brings forth new events almost every time.
Be the characters friendly with him, or the antagonistic characters, who are in opposition to him, both are not so different as attraction points to viewers, since both interactions show one commonality with different pov, which is Lloyd’s love for magic.
