Synopsis

In a world of constant war between humans and witches, there exist the "beastfallen"—cursed humans born with the appearance and strength of an animal. Their physical prowess and bestial nature cause them to be feared and shunned by both humans and witches. As a result, many beastfallen become sellswords, making their living through hunting witches.

Despite the enmity between the races, a lighthearted witch named Zero enlists a beastfallen whom she refers to as "Mercenary" to act as her protector. He travels with Zero and Albus, a young magician, on their search for the Grimoire of Zero: a powerful spell book that could be extremely dangerous in the wrong hands. During their journey, his inner kindness is revealed as he starts to show compassion and sympathy towards humans and witches alike, and the unlikely companions grow together.

(Note: Since I'm currently looking into the anime, I thought I could revise my original review from 2022 and upload it here in English.)

Tija is great. I watched this anime slightly overtired and had endless fun, because tigers are great.

"Grimoire of Zero" is about the mercenary Mercenary - yes, we don't know his name yet - and Zero. In a world full of magic, in a world of witches and witch burnings, an organization suddenly appears that promises to free the witches from the oppression of humans and avenge the death of a well-known and popular witch. But at the very end of the land, ...

Mixed Feelings
A fantasy story with the worst kind of storytelling cliches, that is made only just bearable thanks to decent main characters.


Animation / Art / General Visuals - 7/10

Pretty standard anime fare.


Sound / Music / Voice Acting - 7/10

The show is borderline between "it's ok, I can finish this" and "boring".
Grimoire has a couple of visible issues that make this into a mediocre show:
1. It's concentrated around a few characters with some support cast who only appear once-twice for a couple of minutes and disappear.
This means that we need to have some proper development of both the characters themselves and the relationships between them. Both parts are very limited and shallow simply following a formulaic path of an average plotline. There is nothing special here, at all. Sure, maybe someone will be amused by "uwu she is sleeping on a furry" part, but ...
