| Hahaha bye bye slave girl, I don't give a shit about your suffering. (even though I might know your sister) This is a so not anime like moral disappointment, I never seen from a MC before and yes I hate it. Of course she has no obligation to rescue her, but it would have been so easy for her to take her away. Old man dies someday and son can be nice to Nino lol |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I understand ignoring the brother and sister on the field since they were seemingly beyond saving, bleak as it is. Leaving the slave to her fate when she had the capacity to intervene on the other hand... Elaina had more darkness to her than expected and this story instantly got a whole lot more interesting because of that. |
am not interested either get lost witch! |

What will happen to Nino after that?
It's likely the same as what happened to the wife in that story, yeah, most likely she will kill herself
Skipped scene, Elaina's monologue in the LN :

| @ShiroHachi Oh wow, thanks for sharing this extra bit. Though it basically just reiterates the vibe already shown. |

Wtf is this shit? Never expected this show to infuriate me...
1) We have a story about a girl turning to a plant and the guy who shares the same fate. Plus a zombie army invading town?
2) Slave girl who's most likely getting raped and most likely ends up killing herself.
MC just Fucks off in both cases, and with a "whatever, not my problem" expression on her stupid face.
Wtf?
I do understand that this show is supposed to be about a traveler who sees both good and bad shit in the world. But is that all? They do suck at making the show entertaining. Like, wtf was the whole flower-thing story at the start? Why did it feel like some random 5min shit?
What about the MC of this story??? What's so important and noteworthy about her being a witch? so that she can fly everywhere confidently? so that she can protect herself and only herself? repair shit once in a while? Enjoy being praised for being a witch?
I was dumbstruck with 1/100 empathy this trash MC shows, it's disgusting. At this point I don't even care what the mages represent in this world? Are they bound by laws? are they above the law in some cases? They do enjoy great benefits for sure so who finances them and why the world even needs them? - Shouldn't they benefit society? Are they monitored?
MC is a heartless, self-centered moron. Even if she couldn't save the slave girl because of LAW-related-reasons (just like in the US you couldn't just steal slaves just because you felt sorry for the blacks); why didn't she try to at least stop the guy from turning into a plant? warn the town about a giant fucking field so no new victims happen? If's she's a weak-ass wizard who can't do shit about it, shouldn't she perhaps inform some top-wizard-society or whatever the fuck has power to deal with the obvious threat? No? Let's just fuck off to the next village?
This is basically her seeing that a volcano is about to erupt and has no power or confidence to prevent it, thus simply writes a note in a diary and fucks off elsewhere????
Add her Mary-sue personality to the whole "just minding my own business" mix and you have one unrelatable, dislikeable, trash MC. At this point I wonder how people can actually enjoy this show with such disgusting MC it centers on? Do we need a show to remind us about trash reality we live in? Why plague fiction, such as THIS, with "shit happens, what you gonna do?" scenarios? why? walk outside your house to see injustice in LIVE. If you put this crap in the show, at least make it somewhat relatable; or a MC relatable. I would have tolerated her inability to save the slave-girl if not for "I'll just pretend I never saw this shit" - THE END!
MC, unlike many people CAN make a difference. She's powerful, yet she ISNT'T EVEN TRYING. People like her don't deserve to possess magic.
This is one of the cases where you'd want to see the MC enjoy Karma one day. Hopefully she's one day attacked by a monster she can't beat or flee from; suddenly sees a top-level mage passing around and pleads for help. Yet, as she's about to die, the top-level mage whispers from a distance: "I could help you, know? but I don't feel like it"/"too tired"/"whatever...the laws of nature babe..."
Nothing disgust me more than people with TALENT who waste said talent on CRAP like traveling the world and ignoring problems that they can FIX with VERY LITTLE effort. who the fuck even cares about her travels anyways? Someday, someone will read her diary and be like:
1)day#68 - today i saw beautiful field of flowers.
2)day#78 - today i saw a slave who's getting raped and will kill herself - sucks to be her.
3)day#79 - today i ate delicious pancakes yum :)! can't wait to have more fun tomorrow!
wtf???
In MC's case, she's basically using magic to repair shit and FLY, and defend self!
YES, she became a witch for a sole purpose to travel the world, and NO, nobody expects her to be Jesus saving the world, but the MC is way too uninspiring, simple, cardboard-cut. At least that's the case with me. They should at least make the MC feel emotion. It's disgusting how she, at her age is just brushing off the injustices of the world while happily meeting the next day as if nothing? How can you relate or enjoy show with a robot, disguised as a human, traveling the world.
I've decided to drop this show. Can't force myself to watch this abominable, cold-hearted MC. But, there are people who enjoy degenerates such as Logan Paul traveling the world for instance, so...
1) We have a story about a girl turning to a plant and the guy who shares the same fate. Plus a zombie army invading town?
2) Slave girl who's most likely getting raped and most likely ends up killing herself.

| @Sigmar-Unberogen My feelings exactly. Like so many others mentioned, criticized, analysed and gave their honest opinions on this trainwreck. I just need to quote a certain someone, especially for this occasion. "The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality." —Dante Alighieri Now, It has been years since I watched it and often find myself thinking— will she develop as a character (or already got a much needed nuanced transformative characterization) from being an utterly useless narcissistic mary sue in the latter parts of the series? Welp, I guess, I just couldn't care less about this wannabe Kino before and even still. In terms of value, I should had invested my time into some generic Isekai, instead of this pretentious mess. At the very least, the former would have provided me with some cheap catharsis to cope against this messy 3D, which unfortunately, I always have to deal with every freaking day. Sigh! |

| How many times has winter given away to spring? —Ryokan |
| This was a really cool and dark episode. This anime is like a collection of fairy tales - there is one main heroine but in each story something new happens to her. But this episode was not modern fairytale, it was cruel medieval fairytale. The first story was very dark and cool and the ending was especially dark. But i like that there was no typical happy ending - Elaina sees all that things and...just flies away. AND THAT WAS REALLY COOL! Elaina is an amazing heroine, she is not a mary sue kind main character, she is very realistic and slightly cynical heroine who looks at life realistically and does not interfere in what is not her business. I am already sick of them "good guys" mainchars and heroine like Elaina is feels just like fresh air. And also she is very cute. The second story is not as dark, but in some ways even darker than the first. Sad unhappy girl see happiness of other peoples and probably she should become more cheerful, but in fact she can only become even angrier and start to take revenge. At the end Elaina says that she does not want to know what will happen next to that girl so viewers can only guess what happened next - an amazingly strong story effect. And of course there is some kind of philosophy in this, it really makes you think and its cool. Beside whis both stories are really stylish. I like this anime, the first two episodes were quite bright and feels boring but when the darkness began this anime seemed to open up and now everything is in its place and its very interesting to watch. |

| @Sigmar-Unberogen I mean, you are right about some things about main heroine, but at the same time i really like Elaina. Maybe its because im so tired of typical main characters who saving everyone and everything that im already happy if its even such cruel and coldblooded cutie heroine... And i dont know, maybe you really walk the streets and try to help everyone you see, but i live differently - the reality of this world is everyone is for themselves and me and all people on this planet just have to survive at any cost, so i partly agree with Elaina. Yes this is fictional story and she has magic, but her cold view on things and ability to just leave a bad situation behind because its literally none of her business feels very realistic and i understand her actions. Because in reality people cant change everything and too often you just cant fight with injustice and you cant always help good people. This life is not a sunday walk, this life is a war and this anime show this perfectly. |
| @x_scolopendra_x Thanks dude, why remind me of this garbage show after 4+ years? I dropped it because I found Elaina intolerable. My memory may not be great and I'm too lazy to re-read my own long-ass comment, but as far as I remember her attitude is what irked me the most. I don't expect her to be Jessus christ and help everyone she meets, but showing no empathy, no compassion while being narcissist POS too? Naah. There's little to none for me to like about her! I do think people with great power should be more responsible though (as cliché as it sounds). Instead, she acts like a spoiled brat who chooses to ignore the existence of unfortunate people ENTIRELY and goes from town to town enjoying privileged life. Yes, you may say it's realistic since there are tons of rich and powerful people in real world who do little or nothing to help less fortunate people, but isn't fiction really there to help us escape from reality in a way? I don't need to be reminded how unjust and shitty life can be. Even then, I'd tolerate that if not for the "Im so good I'd f myself" type of "heroine" and there's even less left for me to enjoy the show; therefor dropped it. I usually drop such shows rather than hate-watch them. Although, if I were to force myself to finish it, I'd then (likely) give it 2-3 out of10 (I don't rate dropped shows). After 4 years, I still don't feel like giving this show anther chance. F it and F Elaina! Obviously you can enjoy whatever and like whoever you want though :) Cheers. |
