As a fan of the light novels I'm beyond pleased that this is one of the best looking shows Diomedea has ever made. I'm glad they covered the whole first arc, or the first three volumes of the light novel, but they kind of had to skip some dialogue that makes the story more coherent. Still, with 12 episodes they did a pretty good job at covering everything I wanted them to cover, though there should be no reason they couldn't have had 13 episodes.
Speaking more about the anime itself, MagiRevo really is a cut above most isekai (as the serious yuri ones tend to be) in that it's very clearly a planned out story, rather than the author thinking of a setup/gimmick and going from there. While entirely faithful to the novels, Diomedea really hammered in the gay parts while skimming through some of the characterization, which to be honest is fine by me, especially given the fact that they still spent half an episode on Algard's motivation. The art captured the soft yet detailed style of the novels, which I personally preferred over the manga's sharper style, but what I liked most about the visuals were the colors. The direction was thoughtful, incorporating a lot of callbacks to earlier scenes that really help give an idea of how the characters change as the series progresses and tie everything together.
Really, the main couple and the side couple are so cute that even if this series didn't do everything as well as it did it would've still easily been among my top anime this season. Just being as explicitly lesbian as it is and getting rid of the plausible deniability most yuri anime have make it stand out. But MagiRevo's incredible worldbuilding, characterization, and art add enough that it stands out among the best yuri I've read, much less watched.
