Review of The Ancient Magus' Bride

This anime really surprised me in a weird way and i actually kinda enjoyed it. First is the story, to briefly sum it up a 15 years old find her life so depressing that she auctions herself at a shady market only to be bought by a hundred years old mage who later on even told her that she is his wife (not creepy at all) and after that its just their everyday life with magic. Now the issue I have with the story is that I'm not really into this type of relationship between the 2 but I'm willing to give it a pass sinceit does have a nice premise.
As for the pacing, it is kinda slow, but it worked well with the way this anime present its story, which has a certain charm and its really enjoyable too.
For the setting, I really like it when an anime is set in a world of magic and this anime delivers that aspect of magic too but it's confusing at time and lacking something that could make this more beautiful, I mean they did pick England as the setting for this magical world after all so here I was hoping to see at least some mention about king Arthur or the sword in the stone or even the appearance of Merlin himself, maybe some obscure myths/legends of the country, hey they could have made robin hood into a spirit guardian of the forest but none of that here so I was a bit disappointed. Instead we are stuck with Oberon, Titania who seem to be boring or annoying at time and some forgettable fairies.
While I find both Chise and Thorn to be well developed characters, it is the supporting casts that could really use more work, they aren't really bad but just need a bit more development to make them more stand out rather than just being there to fill in the blank.
Overall this anime is a nice and enjoyable chill time.
