Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho

This is just based on my likes, and since I've not watched many other fantasy anime shows, that'll influct in this review.

(Also, I'm not and expert on English-language, sorry).

In the therms of story, this is not such unique, since souds like a story that any fantasy-themed story would have, but that doesn't have to be bad, actually I liked it, since it makes this show feels like some kind of Midaged Novel, the story about witches against humans, with beastfallens added is something that anyone who wrote a midaged fantasy would make, but that doesn't make the story bad.

The artstyle is something I really enjoyed, ... character desings and the scenarios are very well done for my taste, maybe some anime I've never watched has better art, but I really like this artstyle, specially the main cast desings, which are very pretty, and I feel they feet very well with them.

Music is good, and kinda reminds me an RPG game, maybe not Final Fantasy, but Fire Emblem or Dragon Quest (haven't played so much games of thouse franchies anyway), but it fits the stage.

Characters are very likeable, specially the main characters, Zero and Youhei make a very funny and cute pair (have to admit I ship them, they'd make a very strange-yet-cutie couple), but have to say that character development on some of the main cast as Holdem and 13 is rushed, in that way, the anime should've had more chapters to develop them (and I feel should be overall longer).

Enjoyment is very well done, since when we see jokes, they're very funny and well done, a very good example are the first three chapters, that play with the Zero's rough and a little bit prissy personality, as well as her ignorance of the world's common rules, also taking Youhei in a very fun way (if you haven't noticed it, I really like them as characters, they're amazing), also, fights are overall well done, and the series doesn't fear to show blood, not a gore-level, but it's the fair amount of it.

Overall, I enjoyed this series at all, but mostly because I like mideged fantasies and kemono-like characters, also, Zero and Youhei's relationship is one of the most spectal-keeping part of the show, I recomend, but know that many people will feel this as a generic fantasy anime, which I don't care, I just enjoyed it and that's all.

Alright, so this is fresh just finished the last episode. With the way it ended, I won't be surprised if there's more, although I don't know how long the manga is either so I could be wrong, but even then I wouldn't be surprised if the manga has more coming. Anyway, this anime had a pretty good story, I did feel due to the shortness it was a little underwhelming, but I'm counting on another season coming. This anime was pretty funny throughout and had some good references in it. The story overall was a little bit confusing, but that's alright anime does that sometimes ... and it doesn't always make it bad where you have to watch it again to fully grasp everything, other parts were kinda cute too. The one negative thing I'd say about this anime is there simply wasn't much action in it, I was hoping this would be a more action filled adult anime. Surprisingly the dialogue was somewhat mature, but there was pretty much no blood, conflicts were minimal. A bit too much story centric for my liking. I was kind of tempted to give it a 6, but I'm conflicted. I'd probably give this anime a 6.5 in total. That said keep an eye out for the possibility for a season 2.

Grimoire Of Zero is a an pretty interesting anime to watch.

Story 8: The story is pretty good, though it's does leave out some of the important details that are explained in the light novels.

The animation is produced by White Fox, for which I am a fan of because they do very good animation on shows like Re Zero Starting Life In Another World & Steins Gate.

The Soundtrack is pretty good but the opening soundtrack was different than I was expecting. That's not to say the opening is bad but I feel that a heroic fantasy theme would have suited the opening a lot better, though ... ending song is really nice.

One of my favourite character design are Mercenary & Zero. Though some some characters had bland design like Holdem. In the earliest trailer back in late 2016, his outfit was originally green but got changed to red so I think green would have suited him better because it goes well with his nobility background.

I like how the characters interact with each other & what they learn from each other.

I recommend this anime to those who likes to watch an anime that has a nice fantasy & with a more mature background & characters like Mercenary that are bit realistic instead being all fan service. Also you can read the light novels on zeromahouthetranslation website. Although not all of the light novels has been translated on that site but it is a good site to read & hopefully in the future it will get an official release & a 2nd season.
