First, I will give a general idea of the work to make it easier to understand what it is about.
But first, I want to make it clear that nothing I'm going to say is a spoiler, I'm just clarifying some things.
In addition, some topics that I mention, but leave the explanation open, it is because the work will explain, and therefore I will not say anything.
Here we have the protagonist, Anisphia, who recalls memories of her past life when she was a child.
At that moment, our protagonist, in addition to being the princess Anisphia of the kingdom, also becomes the Anisphia of our world.
Why am I saying all this? Because I want to make it clear that:
--- The protagonist does not have the "overpower knowledge", which isekai protagonists usually have. But yeah, she's smart, and she tries really hard to accomplish what she wants.
--- The fact that she has the memory of our world is something very important for the development of the character. I'm just making it clear that the "isekai" factor is not used as a cheat, but as something really important.
Having said that, let's move on to explaining the world.
The story revolves around the monarchical system (royalty, nobility, commons), and the location is the Kingdom of Palletia, which has a tradition of idolizing spirits and magic.
In a kingdom with such a tradition, Anisphia is the princess, but she was born without the gift of magic.
However, due to the way the kingdom works, royalty and nobility are able to use magic, while commoners do not.
The fact that the princess, from a kingdom with such a strong tradition, is not able to use it is a big problem.
If you already know the least about monarchy, even in works of fiction, we already know that Anisphia will have problems with the nobility.
However, since Anisphia wants to be able to use magic anyway, she creates her own study of magic, called Magicology, and the story goes from there.
With everything explained, what is the brilliance of this work, and what made me like it so much?
The strengths of this work are certainly the characters and the world.
As you saw above, I explained the basics about the protagonist, which is basically what we see in the synopsis and at the beginning of the work, but we already noticed that things are not so simple.
The characters are not just a stereotype, as the work develops, we see that there is a lot of depth in each one of them. and they all interact with the world in some way, making everything more alive.
The world is only alive because the work makes a point of explaining and detailing it, and although it is restricted to the Kingdom of Palletia, it still conveys a sense of naturalness.
One example I can give is Prince Algard, the protagonist's brother.
I'm sure when he shows up, all of you will just say, "What a shitty, fucked up character."
Yes, I said that too, until I found out that the character has a lot behind it, which made me like him a lot later.
In short, it's a great work, with great characters and a great world.
About the anime itself, it is well produced, I think it will adapt the first 3 volumes of the Light Novel (first arc).
I believe that this is a good rhythm for this work, since the focus is on the interaction between the characters and between the world.
