I'm in love with the LN - so I had high expectations for this show - but I liked the first episode. Pretty good start.

The PV seen so far, I had convinced a lot, but I'd bet on this series, and I was right at the end. The beginning is not perfect, but the narrative, has not had a hitch and is advanced in a fun and enjoyable. The protagonists are not bad, already beginning to worship. The quality of the drawings and animations, is quite good, as well as backgrounds. Too cute the ending, I want to see the next episode as soon as possible.

Decent first episode, enough so that I'll be curious to see how this progresses from here.

ED was cute.

Finally no ridiculous witches flying on guns, using guns, or witches fighting planes lol; sticking to its time period is that so hard to ask?

Another species other than human is cool as well though he was really human to begin with

The chemistry between the two characters isn't bad either. Lets just hope it stays true to its action tag

Mercenary is so cool and kawaii. I like him.

Interesting start, as expected as White Fox.

I hope that we see a decent adaptation.
ok :p

Looks interesting, but there is something with the mercenary design that I don't like. His face looks a bit weird imo.

I liked it. The relationship between Mercenary and Zero was really cute, and you have some interesting tensions hinted at in the background too.

Mercenary is a great protagonist, he's a gentle giant and someone you can really root for because he's been a victim his whole life. Zero was decent too. I was glad they didn't make her some "cold bitch" type.

the only part I didn't really like was the ending battle scene with the random boy. Just felt a bit too video-gamy to me.

At last, it seems this time we have a classic fantasy adventure anime without all these "isekai", "return to death" or other stupid gimmicks.
The main duo is really likeable - the tiger guy is relatable and I hope he'll have a normal life. Zero is cute and not annoying (this time THE GUY seems to be the tsundere one ;) ), I feel she and the Mercenary gonna get along.
I liked the introduction with medieval-stylized illustrations. The ending was really cute.
This has the potential to be one of the better anime of the spring, the only problem is it's light novel origin, we probably never gonna get a complete story, a shame really, I'm really curious how it's gonna end.

Um, there like 2-4 Isekai shows that have been adapted (do not confuse with trapped in a game) and like 50 straight fantasy shows. Hell in this season alone there is literally no Isekai show, everything is traditional and somehow there dearth of classic adventure shows? I think you need to watch more anime in general son.

This show seems like it is going to be very interesting! I already very much like the interactions between the Mercenary and Zero!!

I was thinking this reminded me of a fairytale, then I was also thinking it had a very strong Harry Potter vibe to it. And then, Albus appears. And I thought of Albus Dumbledore.

Generally, it was a great start! Got me thinking that there are so many great shows this season, I'm probably gonna quit real life and focus on them haha :))))))))

The slideshow part is not boring if you pay enough attention to the backstory. Sounds like you were just focused on the slideshow clips themselves instead of the overall integration of narration, slideshow, and everything else.

Fuck please don't let the boy tag along. Mercenary could use a more beastly face, I think.

A very enjoyable first episode. I really liked how they treated the theme of prejudice on races, gave the Mercenary a good backstory, and managed to pack this show with nice humor, all in 25 min. I think this is going to be one of those I cannot miss the chance to watch every week. Already looking forward for next episode.

Interesting start..... but still a bit generic story for me.
Well, the MC being a non-human is first time for me. The Tiger-guy, have a pretty tragic past. This show is an opposite to SukaSuka. While human is hated by beast-being on SukaSuka, here the beast-being is hated by humans (it is common thou).
And then come another loli MC that supposed to be the most OP character in this series with her book?? Still a long way to go, I am really excited with where it will go on.

Still, this is a "Loli and the Beast" anime :D

That was interesting to watch, the episode went by quite fast. Though I have to say this is like many other light novel adaptations, alot of similarities. I'll have to wait till I get deeper in the story until I can judge whether this has some new elements or not.
+1 for the scene at the beginning where he just runs off while Zero is talking, that one had me laughing.

Take a bit of Guin's saga, a bit of Chaika and a bit of Spice and Wolf and you get this. Not a bad first episode. Will watch more.

This is so the anime version of Beauty and the Beast (and I love it)
Also I recently saw the live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast and its awesome, just like the classic
