About Reign: The Conqueror

Meet Reign: The Conqueror (アレクサンダー戦記), an action, adventure and fantasy anime by MADHOUSE (1999). Here is the premise in a nutshell. What the story covers: Prince Alexander, son of King Philip, and heir to the Macedonian empire, needs to fend off political saboteurs, assassins, and the jealousy of his own father to ascend to the position of king. Once there, he kicks off his quest to conquer all nations and become known as the Great King, though an age-old prophecy foretells that he will be the destroyer of the world and forever remembered as the Devil King.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Alexander (Toshihiko Seki) and Cassandra (Atsuko Tanaka) are two of the characters you will meet early.

If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. With 13 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
