I feel like this anime is boring and i came here to ask is there something i am missing? I fail to see anything special about it. Yes, all slice of life anime is devoid of action, but i would at least expect of it to make me feel comfy,which this one does not. Most situations aren't peacefull and comfy, and the characters never seem to make enough progress in anything so they can kick back and relax. Everything feels pointless and does not reward your time. Earliest example is in ep. 2, whne the MC asks a woman how to use magic, and then the woman summons her spirit for a while, and the spirit intoduces himself for a while , and then they get to the teaching magic part. The spirit does not say or do anything for the remainder of the scene, his introduction was pontless. He does not do anything to further the plot then and there, so they might have left out the one minute where he is summoned and introduced. Feels like they just added him for the shock and awe factor, they keep putting in creatures and saying wow look at this fantastic creature, and they add backgrounds and they say wow look a this beautiful scenery. They keep building anticipation for the future , but there is no reward save for scenery and interesting creatures. Idk, i'm just trying to figure out what's the appeal. Most episodes in the first half are the same, the MC gets in some trouble due to no fault of her own ( which is not comfy and is rather depressing and tiring to watch because it keeps happening over and over again without the fault of the MC ,showing no matter what she does she gets shat on ), there is a minor conflict , the MC learns something and then they all go home.
Magus bride thread
tldr.
Post TITania.
TLDR the anime is bad in every way except animation
>not reading the manga
ngmi
Rephrase that in paragraphs fag
I still have the fee for the manga on my library Card and its been 4 years. Guess ill pick it back up before I watch the anime.
At least we might be leaving Hogwarts soon.
No, there isn't anything special about it but Chise was really cute. Also watch the OVAs.
No you're right, it was pretty clumsily written. Lots of token characters that exist for no reason, pointless drama that gets resolved immediately with no stakes, and dramatic scenes that seem like they're supposed to be some big character development moment, only for the characters to immediately forget all about it and go back to acting exactly how they did before. It was like the writers knew what made up a good anime but didn't know how to recreate any of it except superficially.
>the visuals are bad
>the voice acting is bad
>the directing is bad
Yeah, no, fuck off.
The 3 ep prequel was good. The anime that followed wasn't.
god I hope so, I hate the school.
I was caught off guard that Chise just kills people with magic now.
She was like "am I treating them like sheep?" lol you fucking killed them, lass.
Now you're just being a contrarian, it at least looked great. Just look at
The magic school arc filtered me like 10 or 15 chapters ago, did it ever get good?
Raising up one of the old gods to wipe out the opposition forces is no parlor trick either.
It's not healthy to be between an enraged magus and their target.
The focus of the story isn't being comfy. Its a study of the dynamic between Chise and Elias which the framing primes you to assume is Romantic in nature but its actually something that is much weirder.
Short version being: Chise is so agonizingly co-dependent due to the long string of bullshit that has been her life that she latches on Elias like a drowning man grasping at driftwood. The fact that he wants her around at all is like honey to her, and thats all she needs from him. Everything else she does is initially motivated by her need to keep him from discarding her like everyone else has, and its not until later that she feels comfortable enough in her situation that she takes time to think about her own wants or needs.
Elias, meanwhile, is a weird shadow monster that has been pretending to be a person for so long that he has forgotten its a lie. He covers it up well, but it becomes increasingly obvious that he operates purely on monkey-see/monkey do logic. He mimiks and repeats things he has heard without any recognition of why that was said in the first place or what it really means. He only takes on Chise as an apprentice because he thinks it is expected of him, and he only promises to marry her because he was once told that was what magi used to do with some of their apprentices. His attachment to Chise is purely born of the fact that she is a sleigh beggy, so like all other magical creatures he is innately drawn to her, but he has so convinced himself he is a real boy that he doesn't have the self awareness to realize that is what is happening.
Its a fascinating setup.
Things finally started happening, yes.
Its really good to see all of this wizard politics shit get swept aside as Chise finally steps up and goes "Thats enough being polite. I'm a Magus. What is impossible for you is not impossible for me" and starts breaking their little plots over her knee.
We spent so much of the manga dealing with the Magi first that its easy to forget that from the perspective of the sorcerers Magi are one step short from being mythical beings themselves. Chise is new to magic so she naturally expects the long established wizard families to be better at this than her, and they aren't. Their magic has to make sense. Hers does not.
You are simply not the target audience.
I wanted a romance anime and instead I get some bullshit about some fucking retard murdering cats and dragons turning into trees
Dropped it in like 5 episodes
I read this anime had an age gap between a wizard and JK but this doesn't explore that?
>age gap
A difference of centuries really needs a stronger term than age-gap.
