That's every single anime with an army. The leaders are always incompetent assholes, blinded by their pride and never allowing "lesser soldiers" (lower rank) be correct about anything.
That ideology is becoming tired, but I still enjoy the show. I think it would be a lot better if they made it so that the leader was clever, but Ikkun was even smarter, so he could always win where as the leader was like 75%. Or he would strategize a plan that has the leader baffled.

Yeah, its kind of cheesy when all the high ranking officials are complete idiots. Ikta's supposed to be smart, but its kind of overkill in this environment. Even the supporting characters are smarter than the leaders.

Do you remember The Twelve Kingdoms (Juuni Kokki)? I loved that show, and it didn't dumb down the leadership of every military person.
There was too much extra shit in the show, but it was great. I really wish it didn't stop after 40 some episodes.

I enjoyed Shokugeki. That chick's mom is really strange, though. But the how they pretty much close the book on Soma, only to have him unveil something and credits. It's expected, but I enjoyed it none the less. But realistically, it could have also been a great chance for him to fail HARD, only to have to work that much harder in the future.

No it ended just fine, it would have been more stupid eps 40 to 45 shit, which was about the black haired kid. Further volumes stopped talking about Youko and focused on the western kingdoms, and by most accounts, eh

While we're at it, if you've run out of stuff to watch and haven't seen them yet, you can try Seikai No Senki and if you really have a lot of time on your hands Legend Of Galactic Heroes, they are scifi "ascend to the throne" kind of anime. They are a bit old, but I remember watching the whole LoGH a few years ago in a couple of weeks... Very addictive.

It did seem like it was going a little too easy for Subaru and the Knights. I'm not sure what that flower peddle was, and why he was suddenly all alone in the darkness either.
It almost appeared as though Puck was waking up to his giant status, but I don't think that's it either. Hmm...

I'm curious if Soma is going to fail the competition because Dojima announced the judging before he could complete his dish.

One of two recommendations from Searyxx (probably misspelled, but that was the kid) that was really good. The other was Honey & Clover, for totally different reasons. Guy was into some hardcore Sailor Moon esque shit, and I just don't have time for that. But those two were solid.
