A promising anime that, while delivering fantastic visuals, it fails at every other aspect
_This review was taken from my reviews blog, [link to the original here](https://haxoscript.wordpress.com/2018/07/04/review-mahoutsukai-no-yome/)_
I was really excited for this anime. I really wanted to love it. But there's a limit at the amount of bad elements that you can ignore. While the premis…
Read full review on AniList →A lukewarm experience of a halfassed anime. Spoilers included.
##~~~Intro:~~~
The anime starts off as extremely promising and engaging but then quickly starts losing momentum and turns into a generic mediocre-at-best animu in the end. Many people mindlessly praise this anime and some go even as far as calling it the anime of the season. I think it's greatly ove…

I glance previews sometimes and I thought this be charming to watch. It did deliver on this but it also scratches an itch for maybe the individual that craves a place of belonging. (Disclosure, this did take me six months to watch. I'm lousy with time and I get lost in the things I can do. So yeah.)…

Firstly, this is not a series that I'll recommend to anyone or something that I think everyone will enjoy, but a series that I want everyone to at least give a try once. I also would like to mention that I categorize this more as an appreciation essay than a review for many reasons. With that being…

I’d call Mahoutsukai no Yome a very wholesome anime. It contains loads of different genres that are normally incompatible, but here are all beautifully melded together to create a work of art. There are aspects of drama, horror, comedy, slice-of-life, adventure, and even romance. And of course, it’s…
Read full review on AniList →An interesting premise but fails to really do much with it and ends up being just a plain and bland show.
One of the most hyped up shows from last year, not just by the community but by me personally because I like everyone else watched the 3 prequel OVAs which were truly amazing in story telling, artwork, sound, and the sense of wonder and magic you feel when you watch it. It's basically a flashback st…

SENSACIONAL.. Uma verdadeira obra prima... Ele realmente possui cenas q são de arrepiar (no bom sentido) e q fazem VC chorar de alegria e de insanidade.. É de uma simplicidade q VC chega a duvidar da qualidade.

What catches the eyes of many bidders are not the fantastical creatures as mermaids or fairies, but a human, a frail girl for she has the eyes and body to witness and endure t…

Life is a wonderful, horrible, fascinating, disturbing, and complicated concept to experience.
The idea of existing is fascinating, as you get to have experiences that leave memories that you take with you and leave behind as you live your days in your world. No matter what twisted and painful situ…
Read full review on AniList →Great visuals and soundtrack. Characterisation could do with some improvements. Lackluster ending.
_Spoiler alert_
Great visuals and soundtrack. Characterisation could do with some improvements. At times it seems unbelievable, especially since Chise apparently was abused, yet she seemed open to others, trusting. But it's forgivable, especially since it tries to provide some reasons for why this…

###As soon as _The Ancient Magus' Bride_ starts, you can tell how deranged this is going to be. Without knowing anything at all, you're shown Chise Hatori getting handcuffed, looking like…

### __THE GOOD__
This show is visually stunning. The characters, the magic and the fae were depicted beautifully. The soundtracks are marvelous and the first opening score simply won me over! We also get to know the characters well and towards the end we see them for what they are... flawed beings t…
Read full review on AniList →A work of rich and strange magic.
This first series of The Ancient Magus Bride is a delightfully strange and distinctively magical bit of fantasy. The initial pitch can be a bit offputting, on the face of it – Elias, a very old mage, purchases a teenage girl called Chise at an auction with the express purpose of eventually making he…
