History YMMV / KnightsAndMagic

* OnceOriginalNowOverdone: While many light novel readers find the "[[DeadHorseTrope death by truck crash]]" prologue an interesting start for most isekai novels, given how notoriously common the idea has become, some find its utilization here gratuitous and annoying.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Ernesti, Kid and Addy have been childhood friends for a very long time which reflects on their teamwork which led to many amazing things happening. It isn't farfetched to declare that Kid sees Ernesti as his bro while Addy sees Ernesti as her future husband.

** For a meta example, the artist of the manga version of the series drew [[https://twitter.com/isiyumi/status/1453375941883961346 this picture]] to celebrate the series' inclusion into ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars30''.

* EscapistCharacter: Ernie full stop. Good-looking to the point of looking feminine? Check. Ridiculously talented in every subject imaginable? Check. Getting to build his own AceCustom mechs that outstrip literally everything else in the world by a huge margin? Check. [[spoiler:Being the virtually infallible leader of an entire squadron of mecha of his own design? Check.]] Prioritizes mecha over women? Check. [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Gets to be in]] ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars30'' and meet all sorts of mecha pilot legends such as [[Franchise/{{Gundam}} Amuro Ray]], [[Anime/MazingerZ Kouji Kabuto]] and [[Manga/GetterRobo Ryoma Nagare]]? ''Massive check.''

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Many people reject this series, accusing it of the extensive PanderingToTheBase. Many feel that it would’ve been a passable pure mecha fantasy series without the the isekai element splashed in.

* SpiritualAdaptation: With a theme of tech race and power sources from within the core, ''Knights & Magic''[='s=] own Anime Adaptation is the closest thing we have to an Anime Adaptation of the ''VideoGame/ArmoredCore'' series.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Eru is often mistaken for a girl both in- and out of the universe thanks to his extremely feminine appearance and a costume reminiscent of a dress. To make things more confusing, his seiyu was revealed to be Creator/RieTakahashi, known for the role of shy girls (although she already had a similar role once).

* CounterpartComparison: With LightNovel/YoujoSenki because of the general plot about how a very smart male (Tanya had very high skills in psychology and logic, and Eru was an expert in technical issues) from our world, perishes and reincarnates in a parallel fantasy world, completely retaining his personality and memory. Moreover, both Eru and Tanya use this to achieve a stunning military career from an early age, which makes them legendary and brings respect.
