Three Major Similarities Between Nejimaki Seirei Senki: Tenkyou no Alderamin and Youjo Senki

1. Magic Aids The War Effort

What sets Youjo Senki and Alderamin apart from your average war tactic anime is that it has elements of magic. These boosts of power help supply our main characters with the complete look of “major badass” on the battlefront. The powers from Tanya as a mage in Youjo Senki and the elemental spirits in Alderamin are essential components required in combat. As such, this aspect in both makes for very interesting and compelling plots.

2. Checkmate!

With a great emphasis in military strategy, both Youjo and Alderamin highlight this tactical game, which seeks to achieve long-term positioning and advantages. In the rules of chess, as an unofficial observer, the various stages of the game and methods can often predict the overall outcome in preceding sequences. Essentially, this can be said in likeness to battle: one side waits for the other to make a move before engaging their own; whatever decision is made can be favorable or bring them closer to the end.

3. Brains Over Brawn

We see in Youjo and Alderamin that it takes more than muscle to defeat your enemies. Tanya and Ikta are both cunning individuals, who are extremely crafty when it comes to getting what they want. Apart from their natural talents and abilities in mage-craft and science, their character and personality stands out significantly, in an atmosphere not normally recognized for wit and cleverness.

Three Major Similarities Between Nejimaki Seirei senki: Tenkyou no Alderamin and Schoolgirl Strikers: Animation Channel

1. High Intensity Training

When we compare Schoolgirl Strikers and Alderamin, we can easily distinguish that our characters aren’t born with combative skills, but had to constantly work at these qualities through intensive physical and academic training. We observe with each character, that they put their battle skills to the test with countless drills, competition, and mock battles. When the time calls for our heroes to commit to their responsibilities, they have these exercises to fall back on, successfully wiping out the adversary every time.

2. “It’s The Little Things That Count”

Even though their future hangs by a thread for Altair Torte and the officers siding with the Katjvarna Empire, each of our characters finds the time to enjoy life’s simple pleasures, amidst the conflict and world destruction put in front of them. When our girls of Altair Torte aren’t involved with taking down O’bli, they enjoy volleyball, cooking, working, and solving a good mystery. As with Ikta, our main character in Alderamin, apart from being an intelligent military strategist, he is also known for being a total womanizer and a flirt. Although these qualities hold minimal significance to the storyline, we can be certain that if both groups were unsuccessful in their fight, these simple pleasures would not exist.

3. “Come On Over To The Winning Side”

In any story, it’s nice to see when villains turn good. In Schoolgirl Strikers, we watch the Origami sisters, Akara, Hina and Kori, find their own purpose in life, instead of fighting someone else’s battle. When the Origami sisters are first introduced, Morgana recruits them, as a means to seek out the girl in Fifth Force with the special ability. Owing a great debt to Morgana after she saved them from the orphanage, the Origami sisters pledged their allegiance to her. The girls then realize that they made an error in judgment and decide to contribute their efforts to the Fifth Force.

In Alderamin, we have Nanak Dar, Leader of the Sinaak Tribe. Her and her tribe’s cause in joining the war is to recover stolen spirits. Tribe members covertly move in for an attack, assassinating several key figures, and causing our imperial officers to analyze their motive. A holy war, as Nanak declares it, quickly draws to an end, as their forces diminish. After all is said and done, both sides seem to stand on the same page. Speaking as friends from long ago, Ikta implores Nanak to accept his apology and offer her assistance.
