Synopsis

The young but feared sorcerer Zagan is a candidate to become a member of the 13 Archdemons—a group of the strongest sorcerers in the world—following the death of their eldest member, Marchosias. When attending the deceased Archdemon's estate auction, Zagan finds something he did not expect: love at first sight. The sorcerer impulsively spends all his money to take Nephelia, a rare elf slave, back to his castle. Given the girl's mysterious and troubling past, there is a lot for Zagan to uncover about his new companion.

However, Zagan's lack of experience with the unfamiliar feeling of love leads to many awkward moments between him and Nephelia, whom he calls by the nickname "Nephy." As the two grow closer and get more comfortable around each other, it becomes increasingly evident that Nephy's feelings might not be so different from Zagan's.

Preliminary (7/12 eps)
An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride. The title pretty much says everything you need to know about this story. A sorcerer finds himself lovestruck at the sight of a beautiful elf slave "Nephy" and decides to purchase her. The problem is he doesn't know the first thing about love. I decided to watch this since I'm already past 60 chapters of the manga adaptation. What initially attracted me to it was how well the characters were drawn. Such smooth drawings and cutsey chibi designs for all the tender and comical moments. The anime copies this animation style almost perfectly. While many will ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (8/12 eps)
A 5.5 kind of a show. There's nothing especially bad about it, it's fine, but there's no real spark to it either. There's some degree of an illusion of depth to it with some tragic backstories sprinkled about and repeated (shock) betrayals which all somehow seem to work their way out, giving an illusion of progress. The creators evidentially got tired of trying to maintain the uncomfortable fatalism of the first few episodes and migrated to a slightly more upbeat but awkward dynamic. All very generic anime with fantasy characteristics really.

If you're looking for a power fantasy which has some of the aesthetics of misanthropy ...

Preliminary (6/12 eps)
Okay, so it started meh, but I thought it might develop into power fantasy if nothing else. However, writers chose nothing else.

Story is kind of hard to spoil. He's a powerful mage and this show you get to see just how powerful. That's the story. Problem however lies in how they tried to portray main character which is simply socially inept idiot who is somehow genius only when it comes to magic. Common sense not so much.

From episode one forward everything is either a result of some plot convenience, his stupidity of combination of the two. This genius doesn't know how auctions works so gives ...
