Synopsis

Cursed by a witch, the feral and tempestuous Guideau tenaciously searches for the culprit so she can exact revenge. To this end, she joins the Order of Magical Resonance, an organization that deals with everything connected to magic. The Order agrees to work with Guideau in return for her help solving the myriad of magic-related cases occurring across the world.

The Order's suave and mysterious mage Ashaf accompanies Guideau for the sake of successfully completing missions. As the pair traverses the land in search of that unknown witch, their experience with the fantastical world of magic grows ever more peculiar the further they advance in their journey.

The fact that this anime has so many negative or mixed reviews truly tests my faith in the MAL community, simply because I enjoyed it so much. This one is really a hidden gem, I stumbled upon it on a whim and thought that the short synopsis and cover art looked interesting, and WOW am I glad I gave it a chance. Admittedly the first few episodes aren't the greatest, even though I still liked them, the show truly shines as the viewer is given more glimpses into the dark and supernatural world of "The Witch And The Beast."

As others have pointed out the world ...

Mixed Feelings
The plotline/premise is a lot like Dorohedoro and Undead Girl Murder Farce, except this is incredibly generic and shallow shonen action cringe that takes itself way too seriously while failing miserably to actually be seinen.

These characters are all cardboard cutouts we learn almost nothing about and what we do learn amounts to: generically evil witch, generically persecuted good witch, generically evil executioners, generically good mage society, generically angry MC, etc. Shonen trope hell. If it weren't shonen it would actually put effort to have meaningful character depth to give any of it emotional weight.

The world is generic. The interactions are contrived. The exposition is cringe. ...

Overall - 6/10
A generic and bland anime with very little to let it stand out.

Story - 6
Episodes are split into 2-3 episode arcs with very little in terms of overall progression or character growth. Some of the individual stories have an interesting premise, but are let down by lackluster execution and bland characters.

Characters - 6
Overall generic characters with very little growth, and almost no depth. There is one somewhat interesting main character with some depth which is never explored, and some side characters who are interesting, but is let down by poor execution.

Animation - 6
For the most part it is fairly bland ...
