Mixed Feelings
Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho is located in the Fantasy / Magic / Witches genre and the plot is about a conflict between humans and witches.

Not the most creative stuff I have seen but lets give it a shot.

At the beginning I was quite positive.

The hero party seemed to be the biggest positive of the show. All three characters are pretty likeable and especially in the first 3-4 episodes they show some good chemistry and its enjoyable see them traveling through the world.

But this is where the positive aspects almost end.

The story is the biggest weakness. At the moment when the plot starts to get going the quality of the show goes downhill.
Every reveal is so blatantly obvious that it's almost surprising that they really went for it. The plot isn't creative but it's far worse that it's presented in such an uninspired way.

Character development is not really existent. Our protagonists stay the same throughout the whole season with no notable changes.
The writing isn't consistent. Character traits are only shown when the plot need them. Otherwise they are forgotten pretty quickly. The show tries to introduce some questions about morality but because the plot is so predictable you already know how the authors will resolve these conflicts.

Visuals are ok, I guess.

Don't get me wrong. The show isn't complete garbage and it won't hurt your eyes but if you are hoping for innovative story twists, character development or even tension then this show is going to disappoint you. If you love the genre and you can deal with a generic and uninspired story, you can give it a try.
