I'm French so it might be my national pride or something but this anime felt like an insult to Jeanne d'Arc, I really like this period of history and I know the story of Gille de Rais (Montmorency) and Jeanne so almost all caracter don't have the personnality of their historic figures wich is not really important if you can do a better caracter but they did not. Orginaly the king (Charlotte) his a coward, Jeanne is a little girl who became a general and lead army, killed people, and had the charisma so incredible she is still consider one of the most incredible caracter ... of our history and Montmorency was crazy about Jeanne so fucking crazy he killed babies. I'm normaly not harsh on anime but this one is just.....

So what did the show gave us?

The story : Kind of messy maybe they tried to put a lot in 12 épisodes but could not so the story didn't make sense if you don't know history or geography of France.
The magic aspect was really bad, the magic stones were not really exploited; they were just magic weapon but 3 min of an angry girl beating up soldier from time to time not worth it espacially in the end the god felt like a pile of shit falling from the sky on an anime that could have been at least decent.

Charaters: Just basic nothing really amazing; jeanne is disapointing, Montmorency is like any other anime character that want to save the world and the other are just like any other female character that like the hero because he is a nice guy who want to save people. The main enemy doesn't exist well they are like 2 or 3 depending on the situation.

Quality: The quality of the animation and music overall is decent.

General opinion: They could have done a incredible anime but they wanted to change it to make it more like any other fantasy anime and they fucked up so bad.

If their is a lesson for that show; it's don't try to change something big and incredible into a normal thing because you will most likely fucked up.
