About Reign: The Conqueror

If you are hunting for a new action series, Reign: The Conqueror (アレクサンダー戦記) deserves a look (1999). The setup goes like this. The setup: Prince Alexander, son of King Philip, and heir to the Macedonian empire, must 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.

As an action title, 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.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with MADHOUSE, which means the visual identity of Reign: The Conqueror follows that studio's craft. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 5.5/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Toshihiko Seki voicing Alexander gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 1999, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
