2 premises
1. This review is only about the Anime. I haven't played the VN, and i doubt i ever will. The VN MAY solve some of the issues i found on the Anime, but that doesn't rly concerns me, or whoever is gonna watch the anime alone.
2. I watched up till episode 12. Then i decided i could use my time doing something better, so i don't know how it ends, but honestly...after what i've seen, i rly don't care about it.
The whole story is based on the battle between Beatrice and Battler. She wants him to admit she used magic to commit the murders, he denies that, saying there must be a non-magical explanation to that.
Here we find the MAIN issue with this Anime. After the first 4-5 episodes, where everything proceeds smoothly, the battle/game starts.
We find Battler yelling "Magic doesn't exist", "I will neevr admit the existence of witches". But still, he is dead, he is in a different dimension, he and the witch can disappear in golden butterflies...but Magic doesn't exist....OK, we can say that he is focusing only on whats happening on the island, where people die WITHOUT the help of Magic.
But this is the point i stopped watching this thing. Beatrice starts summoning Demons, Goat-Headed butlers. Shannon and Kanon start to use superpowers to fight these demons. And in the end....these demons transform themselves into knives and kill the residents of the Island.
What is the point of this Anime? The main guy keep saying magic doesn't exist, and the Murders are done by Humans, not magic......but HEY, some of the murders are done by Demons, summoned by Magic, after a Magical/Superpowered battle....so what the hell is the point of the Anime?
DO i have to keep watching the Main character saying magic doesn't exist, when the scene before we see demons fighting Superpowered Humans?...cmon
I could also talk about how the little girl start using psycho expressions since episode 1, making you wonder why no-one seems to care/notice a psychopathic 9yo when people start getting murdered.
How some characters die as Humans in a world, and reveal themselves as powerful immortal beings in the next...meaning an immortal witch was killed only to be brought back alive....
This Anime, makes NO SENSE. It is not a Magic/Spernatural anime. It is NOT a mystery anime, since you cannot solve a mystery that doesn't make sense....i see people killed by magic but i must explain how they were NOT killed by magic....and with this i'm done.
