Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (9/12 eps)
Let me get this out of the way. This can be enjoyed, whether you'll enjoy it or not is not something I can say, however, there ARE better things out there to watch than what I have seen and I hate I continued it for so long and left disappointed. Some spoilers will be mentioned.

First off, I want to say this really isn't anything too different from your standard Isekai SoL anime. However the faults of this one outweigh any chance to truly enjoy it, or for me they did anyway. I've never seen an anime where magic looked so... unmagical. Its next to non existent here and by that I mean, people just put their hands over or on something and concentrate with their eyes closed. Thats really it. Healing spells just have them say heal or something along those liens to heal. Lightning attacks were the best since they LOOKED like magic and we saw it like once out of the 9 episodes I saw. Ice magic is also disappointing. Anything else is just them going about their lives touching/making stuff without their eyes closed and somehow the magic is just used...

The setting... not bad, but I find it insulting as a woman to see that Sei and the other girl are basically forced to conform to the living standards where women have to be careful with boys they interact with and have to be polite, and other victory times stuff that women had to put up with. If this were the past that'd be more acceptable (as it was the time but this isn't the past, its a different world they were summoned too! So it comes off pretty insulting especially when one of the girls who may be the Saint is being isolated, shunned and almost picked on by other girls when again, she is being called the Saint and they know this! (They also know she's not from their world)

Let's also address the prince, the jerk who shunned Sei and looked down on her just because of her attire. The anime explains why later so he's not as bad as he initially comes off, but all the same, he is still a jerk for how he treated Sei and he was making the other girl's life harder too even if he thought he was helping her. I also found it offensive he dismissed Sei when he talked so much about wanting to help the other girl. Again, all because he looked down on her for her appearance. Its also this that made Sei very angry at him, however, this gets played off and handled poorly in the 9 episodes I saw... which brings me to another issue I have with the story, any part that COULD be used to make the anime better, gets handled poorly so the anime doesn't get better as it should. Instead am left with disappointment as I said. Lastly, the title is misleading. The Saint's power is not limitless and it certainly isn't god like either.

As I said, this anime can be enjoyed, and it certainly has some episodes where you wanna know how this sitch is handled and what happens next, but it ends in disappointment and I don't need to see the last few episodes to know I won't change my mind. One final thing, Sei looked better WITH her glasses than without. I rate this anime a 6.0 out of 10.0, what an offensive disappointment.
