Maquia does what it does well. It hits all the emotional points that it needs to It looks good, sounds good And it tells the story that it wanted to It takes you on a journey through Maquia's life, and while the story is not perfect as there are threads left hanging and often questions that are left unanswered, none of that detracts from the themes of the anime, which is where the focus of the story is. Maquia is about the tapestry of life, the people you meet, the good times, the bad times, and the point when you must part from those you love.
