Huge and useless wall of text incoming:
There's no point in thinking about this critically tbh, if you want to enjoy watching this, don't even start thinking about it critically, or comparing it to other long anime, otherwise you'll find out that it's much inferior in all aspects. The rating speaks for itself.
However even if it IS inferior, it still is very enjoyable, because it's fresh and new, nobody knows what's gonna happen. There is still much more to explore at this world, more magic dungeons, more kingdoms, more overpowered enemies, more losers in black bulls.
There are just 50 episodes out at season 1, and who said there is not gonna be season 2?
If it keeps its popularity, more seasons might come, which means bigger, more interesting world. I have hope this anime will become something HUGE and fun.
Characters:
YES:
novachrono julius: medium yes
sister lily: medium yes
adlai gauche: big yes
sukehiro yami: huge yes
bronzazza sekke: medium yes
vangeance william:looks like pre-traitor griffith with more colors so huge yes
voltia luck: big yes
swing magna: medium yes
agrippa gordin: big yes
so literally whole black bulls.
NO:
asta: medium no (everyone already knows why, he is just a new naruto with his not giving up thing, which makes him old)
yuno: small no (feels like theres nothing going for him atm)
silva noelle: big no (making her head over heels for protagonist was srsly lazy and out of nowhere. WHY?)
so literally all main characters. well done anime.
From i'm seeing, the writers of this anime LOVE making all over the place characters.
Music:
op 1 big yes
op 2 medium yes
op 3 big yes
op 4 small yes
ost: big yes, background music is most of the time REALLY good and pleasant at this anime.
Enjoyment:
Definitelly didn't enjoy the crying at beginning and asta's nonstop yelling, otherwise i'm good,
Can definitelly enjoy black bulls just goofing around in their base for a whole episode.
Overall:
Its pretty bad yeah, but i have hope, that it will become something big eventually. Especially since it's so new. Pls make it happen, there is never enough big anime for me.
I've already stopped caring if a anime is bad, aslong as it's enjoyable, No need to be elitist about anime. 10/10
