I went into this show having no idea what to expect, with most animes I had watched at least a few clips on YouTube so I kind of knew what to expect and what would happen story wise. This anime was an exception, I saw someone on a forum say that this was a really good romance/comedy anime (I'm a big fan of this genre) so I was bored one day and decided to watch the first few episodes.
Within the first 2 or 3 I was hooked on the show, it has a really good sense of humour, the art style is really pleasant, each of the characters are really unique and interesting. In the first season there isn't a massive focus on the romance between the characters but there are a lot of nice, sweet scenes that give you enough to look forward to how it will go in the next few seasons. The first season's story is relatively the same, its not over the top with action and instead acts as nice introduction to all of the characters.
The story picks up a lot in the following seasons, there is a lot of character development and universe expansion, you start to see a lot of the countries you only heard mentioned in previous seasons and it carries a lot of story over from the previous seasons.
Seasons 1-3 were excellent yet somehow season 4 managed to be even better, you see some major character development from both Louise and Saito, their relationship advances leaps and bounds and even the story somehow gets better than it already was. I don't say this lightly, but the ending of season 4 is the closest thing to perfection I have ever seen in an anime so far.
"The Familiar Of Zero" is a truly excellent show that I would recommend to anyone.
Overall I give the entire series a 9/10
