| Yes, yes, yes the Catarphilus problem is out!!!! |
| Wonderful series 9/10 Looks like it might be a few years before the possibility of a second season though |
| Eh, it was okay. The last 2 episodes were interesting but this one was a rather meh conclusion. I feel kinda sad that I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would, and the "romance" in this was really not my thing. Silky is cute, we needed more of her. |
| Baby, daijobanai... |
| I found story of Chise and Elias really boring. I' much more interested in lore than Chise and Elias. 5/10. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Gonna miss this....she really got a wedding dress in the end and she even gave Elias a ring!!! Chise is full of surprises! 8/10 |
 |
| So.... the very last episode has the actual OP... Why? |
| Welp, 24 weeks have passed and we will see no more of bony mages and overpowered little girls. Watching this every week was like buying that one food you don't eat often because its unhealthy. But you savour it when you do eat it. The 3 episode OVA helped me get into this series. Giving us a look of Chise and the type of show the 24 ep tv adaptation will become. And man it didn't disappoint. Giving us a very satisfying ending with Chise and Elias I suppose becoming "Married", and Joseph being in Chise's care. Overall a really good show. Time to start reading the manga. |
  Katsura janai, Zura da |
| This was the final episode? Uhh... Well...the character interactions were nice. Chise's development was decent (but she sure gets hurt a lot). The art and animation were strongest in the earlier episodes, but the second half seemed to tone them down a bit. Good music. And we got JUNNA and May'n to sing the OPs, though I wished that we could hear "Here" again for the final episode. I guess my primary issue with this series is the pacing or rather having an arc end in the first half and starting a new arc in the second half. It just feels...awkward like this final episode for example. We got the Cartaphilus issue resolved in the first half, and then we get to see Chise in the wedding dress and becoming the bride to Elias in the second half. But the impact from both felt very lacking and honestly didn't feel like a final episode. It's a solid watch for a magical slice of life, but it would be best not to expect too much out of it. It ended on a good note, but it just leaves that unsatisfying feeling that makes you want to ask for more... Final Verdict: Sleigh Beggy/10 |
 |
| Glad to wrapped things out, but still lacks some explanation on Cartaphilus and Ashen Eye connection but now it looks like Ashen lose his interest then Cartaphilus living with Chise and Elias, will be explained on second season, if there will be, though I'm not sure cause I had stopped a while reading the manga. I really enjoyed the show, it showed an interesting development of two different individuals, understanding and learning each other, Elias learning and understanding people, while Chise learned to value her life and the interaction with different people and magical creatures developed her character. Beautiful soundtrack and animation. The last part really stick to its title "Ancient Magus' Bride". |
 |
| Great finale! Wit Studio didn't disappoint. This anime is full of beautiful stories that alternate between joyful and tragic. Even if I think Akagami no Shirayuki-hime's Zen and Shirayuki are the better couple, the supporting casts of this anime are definitely superior. All have great character arcs. Not sure if I should check out the manga or wait for the second season. I wanna know more about the characters especially those from College. |

Next arc is going to be all about the College and the characters involved with it, at least if the name ("College Arc",lol) is any indication. |
| Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever |
| 6/10 for me. I forced myself to watch last episodes. It wasn't particularly bad, but I just didn't "feel" it. But this is a problem with most Wit Studio series in my case. Art was beautiful and to be honest I finished it only because of art quality. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Disparity between the 1st and 2nd half of the show is quite staggering, there was wonder and galore with the world and characters in the first half but plain uninteresting in the 2nd half, i'll admit i forced myself over the line. |

| Beautiful scenery and music are the only things this show had going for it. Everything else completely fell apart. Could not understand the heroine at all and how she ended up in a wedding dress going for the whole lets get married ending. The mage monster was mentally a baby and doesn't understand most human feelings, much less love. Also, plenty other things didn't make any sense. Like that one episode when they where having an auction for the dragon and it went berserk. The hall was filled with sorcerers and mages and the best they could do against the dragons is throw rocks? Really? Very disappointed, I guess I needed to dumb down to really enjoy this. Had my expectations too high with all of the overhype for this series. 5/10. |
 |
| I wasn't expecting Chise to keep Joseph under her care after all the mean things he said to her but it's a big relieve knowing that Cartaphilus is sealed and won't become a threat anymore :) Silly Elias... How can you call her your bride without sharing the rings? But it was funny seeing his reaction at the end :D Wonderful ending! I really enjoyed watching this ^o^ |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| My first 10/10 in quite a while. |
 |
| I don't have much to say other than I really enjoyed the ride and I for the most part like the way it ended for now it's a 9/10 because it left some things unresolved... however if there is a season 2 I'll probably bump that up to a 10/10. Also Chise as a bride is the cutest thing ever! also I felt so bad for Joseph during is back story :( |
 |
| I just... I can't even... The same shit that happened every episode repeated once again. Chise gets cured of her curse, and even survives a giant claw-hand through her body. And look, she forgives Elias in another comical scene for almost killing poor Stella for her sake... and Ruth too. Okay. I wanted to like this anime so much based on the OVAs and the first few episodes, but I didn't expect such a bland, boring and nonsensical trainwreck :/ The main problem, to begin with, is that ALL of our main characters are basically stupid. None of them have anything close to common sense. I know that some of these come from Elias being a manchild and Chise being socially undeveloped or whatever she would be called, but this goes even beyond that... She goes into every danger, even throwing away perfectly good charms that others made for her, just to get horribly hurt and nearly dying, only to get healed with almost no consequences half an episode later. 24 episodes in and we still know next to nothing about Elias, which made me even less interested in him than I thought I would be. At one point I actually thought the shallow (and often creepy) relationship of Elias and Chise was interesting, but it became really frustrating how they move a bit forward only to take two steps back when Chise realizes that she knows nothing about Elias, and vice versa... And now they are married. Good for them, I guess. The magic stuff would have been better if they made more sense. They sometimes try to explain how they work, but then they just skip it later and introduce other new magic that introduces more questions... Some of the smaller stories were interesting, like the one with the succubus and the dragon land in general, but apart from these and the great visuals and OST, nothing really stood out for me. It feels like a beautiful but very shallow experience. I have no idea why I even finished it. Perhaps I was just expecting some redeeming factors, or just for the sake of finishing it... Anyway, I can't give it anything higher than a 4/10. It baffles me why this is rated so high, but I guess to each their own :/ |

| Huuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh... okay so the comedy bit worked better here since it was after everything was settled, but it still won't that good, they should have given Chise and Elias a bit more time in their reunion so I could take in the happy just a little longer, everything else after that was just lovely and made me happy, it was awkward and cute. And with that, this anime has finally reached it's end. Not everything I had expected it to be but was still pretty great. This anime was pretty damn amazing... except the comedy. The sights and scenery were absolutely gorgeous. The characters were wonderful, at least most of them were, could have done without a couple here and there. The story pretty damn epic though a bit slow so I did get a little bored at times. Basically they did a whole hell of a lot right here, but it won't perfect. And the comedy sucked. 8/10. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| What a great final episode! And the last episode OP visuals was different! Ashen Eye also intervined! Chise went to rampage/angry mode was awesome! Elias and Ruth was right on time protecting Chise! Damn! Elias combination with that Fairy was badass! Chise binded cartaphylus! what a bold move! Chise almost outdid herself! The reinforcement are late lolz! lol there's a bit of comedy about whose punishment will go first! Wedding idea of Chise was very thoughtful! Chise's beautiful alright! 5/5. 8/10. |
 |
| what a wonderful ending to this anime. I really enjoyed it from start to finish and the ova as well, and I'm very glad that I chose to watch this anime all the way through. I love the scenery and the atmosphere between the characters in every situation. I laughed at the part when elias and chise were being serious when she woke up and silky glomping chise, and then when she stopped by angelica and stella. Was truly a beautiful ending. |
 |
| @RazielZero "I just... I can't even... The same shit that happened every episode repeated once again. Chise gets cured of her curse, and ever survives a giant claw-hand through her body." Just wanted to point out that the reason she survived it is that she was immortal thanks to Cartaphilus' curse. She also isn't even 100% cured. Cartaphilus is keeping the dragon curse at bay. Which means I am pretty sure she has Cartaphilus' curse now. Which I don't even see as a good thing. I would also like to point out that Chise putting herself in danger is because she really hadn't been that motivated to live even after being "saved" by Elias. I could go more into countering your other points but at that point, I would sound like a crazed fanboy. So I will spare you the pain XD |
 |
| Ethereal, beautiful ending. We're beyond the manga now so we'll have to wait for a looonnngg period of time for the next season to be released. I love Chise's dress, Angelica and Stella were the MVPs. |
 |
| I'll join the band-wagon of those thinking the second half of the show went down hill. I got bothered many times by some resolutions proposed to overcome any problem. The writing was just messy and I lost interest in the characters, Masochist Chise being the first. The mess brought that question to me : "Did the mangaka also have suicidal thought at a point in her life ?" because it looked like it. Anyway, after the OVA and the first episodes I didn't think I would be disappointed but well, at least the art was good and there were some nice moments. |
| Dissapointed, all that part exchanges, an eye, an arm, and Chise still got the curse, Cartarphilus and Joseph still alive and suffering. This ending is terrible, it builds up something then throws it away just for the sake of happy ending which is hardly even explained and doesn't have a conclusion. Also some characters were just there for the sake of being there smfh zero depth and Chise is still such a hypocrite who has zero social skills but I understand she's still a "child" tho Stella still more mature than her Priest guy: tf happen to CartaJoseph? Elias: dunno lul Lmao some "magician" Elias is, so "knowledgeable" lol hardly showed us anything amazing in any fight The author obviously only cares about looks but doesn't care about depth, development and buildups. I know the author is a "gurl" so it also has this generic shallow romance that we see in a typical Hollywood love story 5/10 I didn't expect depth in the ovas so I rated them higher but after this, gonna have to change that |

| Goodbye to my favorite character of this wonderful Anime :') I hope they come back and the wedding celebration is done. |
 |
| Her left hand turned black, so she's like 1/8 black lul. Jokes aside this show is pretty good but it gets boring because of slow character development. I'm still curious about Chise's dad, i think he's the type of guy who would leave his family he must've had a particullar reason before he left Chise with her mom. Also still wondering about Elia's true identity, like is it his true form ? or he once was a human but turned into a monster ? so many things i have in my mind that is left unanswered. Overall score 7/10, could've been a better adaptation but still enjoyable nonetheless |
 |
| The plot is good, and I bet the manga is amazing because of it... But everything in the anime just seemed so damn sloppy. The opening, for example. Mere AMVs. Kinda weird. Then some panels just felt out of place, it felt rushed, some things were bad explained... I feel like it must be so much better in the manga. I can't tell for sure, but yeah. For the plot in general, I guess I would give it an 8/10, but since everything seemed amateur as heck, 6/10 is what this is going to get. Like, for real... |
 |
| The OVA had its faults but it was 10 times better than the main series. |
 |
| In my opinion the first half of the show was slighty better but overall i think that was one of the greatest anime i have ever seen. Amazing visuals, very good written characters, simple but kinda mysterious plot... Yeah! That was a good spended time... 9/10 |
 |
| Chise is now officially "the Ancient Magus' Bride"!! I wonder what they're children would look like. Hmm... Dog skulls with red hair, and green light for their eyes? |
 |
| The most dissappointing and over-rated show this pass 2 seasons... Like seriously, the story has no coherence, and the later part plot keeps getting worse and worse with such a weak/ shallow villain with no charisma. The early part is slow burn, but at least is kinda meaningful in a character progression sort of way. It's not the best story telling out there, and there're alot of ways to improve it, but at least it's a decent story at first. (Erased does its character progression 100 times better, especially the manga version) Heck, even Violet Evergarden beats this by miles, despite it's a rushed story with many problems in how the story is told. Then they try to pull some bs plot twist , which could work, but none of those plots get explained well in the end. The ending is very rushed that's for sure, and the supposedly character dynamic in ep 21 got totally skipped, as if the twist never exist, and everything is good again without much explanation. Easily a 6/10. The romance element between the main casts is as forced and as bad as Twilight... Well, Twillight is very popular back in the day, so now I understand why bad romance get rated so highly in Mal. At least Japanese knew this show is bad and give it a 3.3/5 in their JP website. |

I also try finishing this to find these so called "redeeming factors" in later episodes, which does not exist... It feels like a waste of time considering the early part build up is quite slow too, yet the later part is even more disappointing. I still gave it a 6 though cuz the animation is kinda nice, and the early part is slightly better. |
