Review of The Ancient Magus' Bride

The most disappointing anime I've watched this season. I've tried very hard to like this show but it did so many things wrong and honestly I don't understand the high score it has right now. If you're looking for something good just watch the OVAs. Trying to be short, the show is a mess. Most of the episodes in the beginning was the same rinse and repeat Chise getting into trouble. Later on It feels like whoever wrote just thought of half interesting scenarios to put their MCs in. The way they introduce characters for half of them to never appear again really seems like they picked randomstories out of a jar and decided to go from there.
Even their attempts at comedy with the characters having cute faces weren't funny.

Also Chise and Elias they themselves being quite uninteresting despite their really nice character designs. They are supposed to be teacher/student, Chise being the "human teacher" and Elias being the "magic teacher". Except they barely teach each other anything, most of the time it's Chises actions that indirectly affects Elias. The story is all over the place not leaving enough room to see them together just learning.

Honestly if the show didn't have it's great animation and decent soundtrack it'd actually be worthless.
