Review of Earl and Fairy

I watched this whole bloody thing bloody thing because it was only 12 episodes and I was hoping it would get better. I began watching because literally, I liked the look of the character I was after a nice romantic storyline, which there... sort of... was? I felt like there was no natural progression and there wasn't a clear difference between when the characters first met and how they felt at the end. I had to ask google to explain to me the storyline because it was very choppy and seemed to miss out some essential information that probably would have made it flow better. I have afeeling the manga probably tells the story better.

Egar the main characters is using Lydia at first to get this powerful sword to prove his status in the world as since losing his parents, he has lost that. Eventually he falls in love with her. It sounds like a cool transitional romantic story line that many anime use as a base - you know, began with no feelings, progressed into love because one of the characters is just so kind they can't help it? Well! The problem is, Edgar is so flirtatious in the beginning that it isn't easy to see when his feeling become genuine. His flirting is borderline creepy too and slightly abusive. Although he never forces her to do something she doesn't want to, he looks as though it's a huge effort to make that decision.

Lydia also only progresses the tiniest bit towards falling for Edgar and it's kind of frustrating.

There is little character development for the others also.

I really could go on. I kept up with this anime till the end as I was curious about the storyline.
Meh. It wasn't the worst thing I've seen. Ones I REALLY don't like I drop after a few episodes
