I tried this show on a whim not expecting to like it at all, why did I not expect to like it? Well - because I don't usually like anime shows that have things like "elf bride" in the title, no offence to people who do....but generally shows like that are not my thing.
But even from the first episode of this I knew I had made a poor assumption about the quality of this show, it is really good!
- interesting magic / power mechanics
- solid world building
- complex characters (even if it doesn't seem that way at first)
- even side characters seem interesting
- really funny in a silly/ awkward way
- show can be dark + serious when needed, and it feels like there could be real stakes later on
- wholesome moments / clean and cute romance
- little fan service so far (hopefully it stays like this)
Bonus - really comfy ED!
I really recommend trying this show, I am fairly certain this is going to be my favourite of the season. As a dub watcher I am only 3 episodes in, but I will be sure to update this review if I feel the quality starts to slip!
