Ace T This anime balances comedy, horror, and plot/character building so well. The animation is truly phenomenal. I love that the show is able to build on the complexities of relationships and human emotion. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review ObamaSlama T Despite many flaws like exposition dumps instead of letting scenes play out, it is a great time.It has a sort of vibe to it that no other anime could hope to match, top that with loveable characters and unique settings you have an enjoyable show.Without spoilers there are some incredibly emotional beats that can get you in tears every time, with scenes that are truly beautiful in all ways.To a western audience it can come off as a little bit off putting, Elias being thousands of years old and Chise being a minor at only 15, some of the romantic situations are quite cringe worthy and uncomfortable.But that is outweighed by the positives.It definitely is either a love it or hate it show, if you think you might like it definitely give it a try.The complete unique vibe is a breathe of fresh air in modern day with everything feeling the same. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/05/24 Full Review Will W A unique season with lots of magic and wonder. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/24 Full Review Daniel G Una historia interesante desde el cap 1, una banda sonora muy armoniosa , un estilo artístico increíble. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/23 Full Review Yang S 本作对于诸多或温暖、或扭曲的情感的描写和对氛围感的塑造自然是成功的，但这种手法运用在一个远离现实的奇幻题材上实在是显得不伦不类。当我不能共情故事中的任何一个角色时，24集的观看历程就变成了一场枯燥的长跑。 Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
