Preliminary (4/12 eps)
Watching The Journey of Elaina feels like reading a storybook. It is about Elaina, a traveler from a faraway distant land, and her journey as she travels to lots of different places and encounters new people. The show seemed like a happy go lucky anime at first, surprisingly it has a darker tone. It shows how harsh reality and the truth could be as Elaina journeys around the world. It is like the fairy tale you read as a child however not all fairy tales have happy endings.

When Elaina encounters problems along the way. She may seem not to care but she does. She feels responsible and she has to live with those feelings. However, it does not mean she is obligated to help them. That's the beauty of the anime. In reality, you are under no obligation to help someone in distress. In Elaina's case, she simply wants to travel around the world. That is why she wanted to become a witch to travel! She can help whenever she wants. She will help when she can.

While listening to the opening song, Literature by Reina Ueda, I feel so relaxed and calm. You can feel the fun adventures of Elaina, and how light, mesmerizing, and exciting it could be. However, in the ending song 灰色のサーガ by ChouCho you feel the opposite, you can feel how dark, strange, and frightening the journey of Elaina but in a good way. Which is why I love both the opening and ending song.

You can learn a lot of things in this show and it is simply beautiful.
Please give this show a watch, Majo no Tabitabi needs more recognition!
