Review of The Ancient Magus' Bride

In general this series was alright, a little bit less exciting than I had expected. It started of great, like the first episode was very mysterious and a bit exciting but from the second episode onwards it went a little bit downhill for me. Still not a bad series though! It also had its good scenes and I definitely cannot complain about the animation quality. Story 7:So let's start of with the story. Like I said before, it started of as really promising but soon became really slow and chill with here and there some more exciting moments. I suppose it's slice of life after all.Since the title was called "Ancient magus bride" I expected maybe a little bit more romance but also that I found a little bit lacking in the story.

Art 8: Then the art style. I also mentioned this before, but the art style was interesting and unique and in some scenes the animation was really beautiful. It really put emphasize on the scenery so you at least had well animated grass and trees..

Sound 7: The sound was also good. It wasn't very special or anything but it suited the concept of this series, which was fantasy, so it was really soothing and I also really liked the first opening (which was btw also the reason why I started watching this series).

Character 5: But then the characters.. In general I didn't feel really connected to the characters of this series. The character development of the main protagonist Chise was alright but I didn't feel any attachment to Elias and also the side characters' personalities weren't very interesting either. The designs were also... alright. It wasn't bad but it didn't have anything special, except for Elias then xp

Enjoyment 5: As I've mentioned a couple of times already, the beginning really made me anticipate a lot but it slowly became more boring the further we got into the story. The ending was good though, but overall the series didn't have a lot of humor in it, or even if it did, I didn't find it really funny... Nonetheless, it is a relaxed and chill series to watch to.

So, I wouldn't recommend this series if you want a lot of flashy action or romance. It's a slow-paced series which pretty animation style and a unique story.
