Sousou no Frieren: ●● no Mahou

Sousou no Frieren: ●● no Mahou is an average run-of-the-mill mini-comedy series that tries too hard to be funny.
Most episodes are about 1 to 2 minutes long and focus on gag reels about obscure magical spells Frieren and Fern use.
It's meant to be a comedy series, but it misses its mark most of the time due to multiple factors.

The first is that it's a chibi episodic series, so animation, such as Fern's pout or other facial reactions to the comedy situations, is absent, which makes the humour feel flat.
The second is that most of the humour isn't that funny. For example, a ... few skits repeat the same joke about meat and how wonderful it tastes or smells.
The third is that the spells utilized in most episodes aren't funny or interesting, with the exception of two spells in episodes 8 and 9.

Overall, the series is rather stale in humour and animation/visuals. You won't miss anything if you skip this series, even if you're a hardcore Sousou no Frieren fan.

The final rating is a 5/10 because of episodes 8 and 9.
Without those episodes, it would be a 3/10.
