Synopsis
​

Having died in a car accident, Tsubasa Kurata—an otaku from modern Japan—is reborn in the Fremmevilla Kingdom, a medieval world where powerful mechs called Silhouette Knights are used to fight horrific demonic beasts.

Born into a noble family under the name of Ernesti Echevarria and bestowed with prodigious magical abilities, he enrolls into Royal Laihaila Academy. This school of magic trains young men and women on how to pilot the Silhouette Knights, prepping them to protect the kingdom from threats, both demonic and human. Ernesti teams up with the twins named Adeltrud and Archid Olter with the goal to create his own Silhouette Knight one day, a feat unheard of for several centuries.

Episode 1 was good. Kurata was a pretty genius level programmer, and also a huge otaku, loving robots. He was tragically struck down and killed by a truck.

Reborn into a new world filled with demon beasts, magic and robots/mechas (although no one knows what that means and refers to them as Silhouette Knights. Now a young Ernesti, he dreams of piloting one. Although originally a bit of a slow bloomer, Ernesti buckled down and improved leaps and bounds with everything to achieve his goal. He also trained two friends, brother and sister Archid and Adeltrud.

When they got into school, they helped out a dwarf kid Batson who was being bullied. This led to them being introduced to the dwarves who forge the rods, which are used for magic and such, and Ernesti requested a what is basically a gun/rod combined thing.

During one of the magic tests, Ernesti was adequately competent enough to skip ahead to middle school, so he could learn a the higher level. Ernesti is also planning to have his own custom Silhouette Knight created.

Three years into the future, they go out on some school exercise and during the knight a massive amount of demon beasts attack. The younger kids flee while they older ones cover them, but the older students start getting overwhelmed. Ernesti, Archid and Adeltrud go back to help, and some of the Silhouette Knights also help out. Some giant monster thing also appeared at the end.

 

Episode 2 was good. The people piloting the Silhouette Knights tried their best to hold it off, but the monster is extremely powerful and overwhelming them. Seeing one of the Silhouette Knights being incinerated, caused one of the others, Dietrich, to run as he didn't want to die. Ernesti found him, knocked him out, then made some adjustments and piloted it, to join the battle.

Ernesti seemed to perform basically better than everyone else. He formulated a plan with Dietrich to control it to land the finishing blow, while he cast magic externally. With this, they were able to take out the division-class demon beast. Seems the king isn't a fan, and sees Ernesti as a threat almost.

 

Episode 3 was good. Ernesti had his meeting with thing king, who seemed to test him with his questioning, which Ernesti picked up on this and thankfully his answering of the questions satisfied the King, and it seems he's even favourable with him now. As a reward for his efforts, he requested the technology/understanding on how to make the reactor for the Silhouette Knights. As a condition to receive this, the King tasked him with building a frame first. If successful, he would teach him about the core.

The design change that Ernesti proposed was two additional limbs at the back to hold the magic staffs and then basically redesigning the inner structure to be stronger and more efficient.

A mock dual was held to demonstrate it, and they would've won, but ran out of mana. So they still achieved their goal of having it pass the test! They also developed smaller suit version of the Silhouette Knights.

 

Episode 4 was good. After the test, it was back to trying to rework the design more to remove the issues with the mana drain/capacity. The idea is to keep it less humanoid, but it seems rather challenging.

Ernesti and the group were summoned by Marquis Dixgard who wanted to review the Silhouette Knights. It ended up being some sort of trap to test them. When Ernesti was finally with the Marquis, he seemed intent on basically stealing the credit and reporting to the king directly. Even so, he seemed to think that Ernesti had alternate motives, so it may have been less about taking credit, and more about just seeing if he was a traitor, etc.

After being split up from Ernesti for a long while, the rest of the group is finally going to where he is with the Marquis, but it seems that another force is laying a trap for them.

 

Episode 5 was good. The students set off to meet up with Ernesti again at Fort Casadesus. Meanwhile, the order of the bronze fang went and stole a bunch of the new Silhouette Knights. This caused a battle between them.

The rest of the students gathered, and the switched to the much smaller suit-like ones to counter attack. They were much faster and more nimble, allowing a successful counterattack. It seems like at least the leader of the order of the bronze fang got away, but seemingly they were successful.

 

Episode 6 was good. So the stolen Silhouette Knight was handed off to the Silhouette Knight Laboratory so they could research it and try to understand how it worked to mass produce it. Seems the lead person is jealous of Ernesti.

While the Laboratory were busy with their stuff, Ernesti and his group were redesigning it to fix problems. During a test, things went bad and it exploded and Ernesti was almost hurt, so this sparked further redesigned. After 6 months, the Silhouette Knight Laboratory is pitting theirs against the newly overhauled design by Ernesti's group. They have some horse-like one which towed a wagon carrying more.
