| "Why?" Nice! Good OST, animation and story. Trying to accept and understand the fact that a skeleton marries a human. |
 |
| I love the chibi skeleton xD Did the fairy hitting the window scare anyone else? I really liked this first episode, coming in not really knowing what to expect, but i'm hooked! |
| Seeing all the comments regarding Chise being the bride. Haha! But honestly, this is one of the most beautiful manga I have ever read. Chise is one of my all time favourite heroines in manga. Anyone would think her to have an indifferent personality because of what she had gone through but she remained one of the most selfless characters I have come across throughout the manga. Elias is s bit weird, but I won't say he doesn't have the charm of his own. That being said, Mahoutsukai no Yome is one of the most unique stories I have ever read. Hopefully the anime will make more fans for this manga in other parts of the world (it certainly doesn't need many in Japan because it's already very popular). |

| remember hearing about this one being good ages ago so was really looking forward to seeing it despite all the confusion with it's air date. this story seems like it can be really interesting ,animation and music are beautiful just seeing that OP makes me feel like this is gonna be quite sad i mean it already reminds me sorta of a depressing Shirayuki |
 |
| I wasn't really sold on it tbh and can't see myself becoming a big fan although it seems kind of cute Probably keep watching it just for the sake of having another completed show on my list lmao |
| Easily AOTS, hand down |
 |
| I didnt mark for watching initally till i saw voting this was first on coming season. No disappointment at all and i love elias. He's reliable and cute. |
| I really love this. I'm really excited for the next episode! |
| Watched the OVA and I love It... And this first Episode isn't disappoint me at all. Good Music (Especially the OP is pretty good), Animation, and the story looks promising... Easily AOTS for me, Can't wait to watch more. |

Also if you were thinking she was planning to sell her body, I have no idea what's going on in your mind, but that's horribly wrong. Watch the fucking episode again, it's clear. Whole collar and chains is pretty much suggestive enough. |

| SO this guy buys a female calls her puppy and then wants to marry her.. Gross.. dropping it.. Not sure why so many people are into stuff like this |

Seems to me like you might have missed the point of this episode and how Elias works. Oh well lol |
 |
| I guess it's fair to be a little creeped out or offended by such a relationship, but it depends on how the rest of the series deals with it. At the moment, he's really not forcing her to do anything. |

All I can say is don't let that small silly joke (which I actually dislike as well) ruin what might be a good show. :) |

| I have some minor concerns. If the series aims to build a romance between Chise and Elias, it will probably have some ambiguous Stockholm syndrome implications (and then we haven't even talked about Chise's age and the immense power imbalance between them lol). I say ambiguous, because at certain times in this episode it seems like Chise does have a choice in the matter, while other times not so much. For example, the thing with the fairies provided a chance for Chise to make a conscious decision to stay with Elias, and Elias breaking Chise's chain is obviously a symbolic gesture that implies Chise is not a slave. Well, the prospect of a romance is clearly weird and messy, but it could be interesting. Otherwise I like Elias more than I expected; despite acting weird occasionally, and the implications of what he aims to do with Chise, he's an impeccably polite person with a soothing voice. His personality also complements Chise's gloomy and aloof disposition. Since I've seen the OVA's, I'm already predisposed to have sympathy for Chise. While she's little more than a victim in this episode, it's still easy to sympathize with her. She could be an interesting character down the line, if she starts showing more personality and develops some kind of a motivation. One thing that bugs me is that for all we know, Chise didn't just sell herself as a slave, but literally gave herself away in the contract she signed, asking no compensation in return (because she just wanted to be taken in by someone, anyone). This can sort of make sense for her character, but what it really means is that the people facilitating the black market slave auction not only didn't get any kind of comeuppance - they made insane profit from Chise's misfortune (Ł5 million or something), without Chise really getting anything in return. (Sure, she got lucky, because Elias is probably the best thing that could have happened to her, but if it had been anyone else buying her?) I get that this isn't a "fight for great justice" kind of story, but it's still a depressing thought. Besides potential for a messed up but interesting romance, and some character development, I have no idea what to expect from this show. And since the world of magic is presented with a lot of care so far, the idea of seeing more of it does make me curious. It's fine if it ends up being just some wish fulfillment story, but if it's even more than that, I think it has the right elements to become something special. topazio said: Also, this certainly may be uncomfortable depending on the part of the world you live in, but even though it's not common in most places for 15yo people to marry, the consent age varies from country to country (Japan, for example, is 13). Nope, that is simply not true about Japan. Technically it is true on the national level, but every prefecture has laws that set the age of consent higher than that, and almost everywhere it's 18. There's like one small uninhabited island that's an exception, and that's it. I'm so tired of people spreading this stupid meme. |

| Ayyy it's finally here. Interesting story for sure, but I wonder if it will lose traction later. |

|
| Amazing first episode! It has kept me glued to the screen and I love the music too. Will be sure to keep a close eye on this show throughout the season. Very intriguing characters and world. |
| One heck of a strange first episode, but in a good way. Technical-wise, it has superb animation, visuals, and soundtrack. I'm not sold on the premise yet, but I'm already enjoying the relationship between the two protagonists. I look forward to seeing Chise develop and hopefully evolve from her timid self. |
 |
| My first thought while watching this episode was that both the OP and ED are amazing, I love the music in this one. The visuals are great though. I'm not that into the premise as of now, might change. Only problem I have currently is that I'm not comfy with the relationship between the protagonists yet. Hopefully the flow of the next few episodes will help me adjust. I'm considering watching the OVAs just to get some backstory and context. |

Well yeah, in the Steins;Gate VN one of the main routes were named Vega and Altair and since then I really liked the word Vega. it's cool. maybe a Star name |

| OP is pretty nice, didn't feel like skipping it i'm glad i didn't get far in the manga, i prefer watching anime for these type of stories |

| Great start, liked it a bit more than the prequel episodes. |
 |
| Really been looking forward to this anime, read some of it about 2,5 years and i got hooked and when i heard the anime was going soon i was soooo excited and meanwhile i was in japan the 3 first episodes where going crazy, and now when i was there once again it still where going like amok loving it this this is going to be exciting!! |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| This is actually a lot better as anime than manga. I was bored reading the manga, but this adaptation looks really promising. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Interesting first episode. Really liked the art style and the little comedy moments gives the episode a nice feel. The back story for Chise was really quite sad but with the introduction of Elias, mages and sorcery it lightened up a whole lot. Absolutely loved Elias’s home! Very beautiful and I think it makes a great setting for the rest of the series. Looking forward to this one! |
| I said enough compliments to seasonal animes that don't deserve and maybe never deserved such words that I have dedicated in comments on forums previously, a clear example of this error, Koi to uso. But now I want to risk, I want do it again with this anime, I want to believe in my feelings... From the bottom of my heart I feel something, that feeling difficult to explain but that is so beautiful when it presents, a unique feeling and without comparison, that feeling that tells you that you found something that will make you happy. 10/5  Mahoutsukai no Yome. |
 |
| and so it begins!! |
 |
| It was OK Upsides:
Downsides:
Seeing the ratings, I honestly expected better. This is a story line we saw more than once. However, I am aware that it's the first episode and they're still 23 episodes to change my opinion. |
 |
| I really like the mature artwork and transcript so far. |

hurrchan said: random question but why was this thread made in july if the show didnt start airing until october? https://myanimelist.net/anime/35062/Mahoutsukai_no_Yome/moreinfo |
 |
| This is good stuff! really dig how the story is going! will definitely keep watch, glad it has 24eps! |
  |
| This anime looks pretty neat. I haven't seen something beautiful like this for a while and I'm really looking forward to read the managa as well! |
| After seeing the OVA I thought I might give it a try but I'm not sure if I'll stick to the end. Much older, wealthy, wise and strong mage taking some nobody girl as bride to be sounds like something straight out of run-of-the-mill shoujo series. Her being so young makes it even more jarring and "shoujo-escue". It would be easier to let it slide if the girl was better. I'm not exactly sure why but I can't bring myself to like her in the slightest. Her looks are as bland and unappealing as possible without making her ugly, sob story from the OVA was really corny and it's hard to come up with anything to say about her other than "she is". Now that I think about it, she's kind of like player/reader insert MC where it can't have any actual characteristics so people can project themselves onto it. Bottom line is, it's very aesthetically appealing series (without the girl) and I'm a little curious about the world and magic there but the girl (i. e. her character and story) makes me feel like it's some kind of anime version of "50 shades of whatever" or that vampire series for teenagers only less sick and disgusting and more creative in world building. I guess I'll watch it for the world and graphics till the girl becomes unbearable. |
