About Reign: The Conqueror

Here is what Reign: The Conqueror (Alexander Senki) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, adventure and fantasy anime by Madhouse (1999). At its core: In 356 BC, Alexander the Great arrives in Greece with the ominous destiny that he will become the "destroyer of the world. Inheriting the crown, he grows into king of the Macedonians and begins down a road of conquest with terrific speed.

Also worth knowing: Alexander ultimately confronts his fated nemesis, Darius the Third, in a war with Persia which changes Alexander into the devil he was fated to become, assuring the destruction of all in his path, and possibly himself.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.

Production & Appeal

Madhouse is the studio behind Reign: The Conqueror, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 5.7/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Released in 1999, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
