I loved the world-building of this show so much. I wouldn't mind a timeskip, but the pacing was fantastic. Every new episode is a new opportunity to see the characters' grow at their own tempo, organically through the story. The world of "Honzuki no Gekokujou..." itself is a fascinating one to discover and explore slowly and gradually, with each subsequent episode. Although the animation budget clearly wasn't very high for this production, the quality shows where it's important. The magic system is solid, and isn't just a bunch of explosions but rather complex, focused enchantments and spells to make miraculous things happen. That is exactlywhat this show was: a miraculous thing.
