Review of The Ancient Magus' Bride

I wanted to like this show. It was visually very pretty, and the soundtrack was nice. that is all it had going for it. I stuck it out to the end but man everything was wrong. Why make the ring or wand? they did nothing at all.. Why bother introducing half the characters that were introduced? they mostly served no purpose at all. Though at least they were more interesting than elias or chise I feel half the issues that come up was just throwing random things at the wall and seeing what would stick. I don't like Elias, i think even for something not human he wasto devoid of character and to inhuman to actually be taken seriously as a love interest. I don't like that he purchased Chise, and even stated he was grooming her to be his bride. its just gross. I think romanticizing human trafficking is just a bad start to a story.
Chise was boring, most of the time I just hoped for anything but her or elias to be the focus.
I liked Lindel.. he was cool. I like that he attempted to warn her way from Elias, even if she was to stupid to listen.
