Elainas Reise

When I first started watching this I immediately thought/hoped for a master apprentice witch situation a la Frieren. (If you haven't seen Frieren get on that asap rocky) but what it turned out to be more like Kino's Journey or Mushi-shi but unfortunately way more bland.

It's all episodic individual tales from the main protagonist (Elaine) of her witchy travels across the land. No individual episodes really stand out all that much aside from this one that involves time travel and takes a rather diabolical turn. Pretty delicious. There are also some pretty cool reoccurring characters, like Elaina's teacher but Elaina herself aside from looking pretty is a little underwhelming. She is really skilled at magic and is the first to acknowledge both her skills and her looks but often too neutral and uninterested making it difficult for one to get invested in any of the tales.

But this anime looks pretty. It has this whole "slice-of life" vibe and the action sequences though rare are so vivid, colorful and smooth. Good animation is what im trying to say. Some episodes are like "meh" others are like "eh".

It's a short series. Not a waste a time but nothing really great or groundbreaking. But if you wanna get some anime witchcraft snack for your heart eyes give this a go 7.23/10.

The journey of Eleina is very suitable to watch. Especially to fill spare time. This anime has a pretty good story and the character of eleina herself left a distinct impression on me.

This anime anime is quite good. Though there are some flow like when a man was eaten by plant he didn't stop. It shows the real life. Cause in real life we Don't always have happy moment. I think this anime worth the shot. You should like it.

At first I thought it's just magician's(witch's) story, and also thought it's just a fun going story, from 3rd episode it gets darker and darker... I hope this chilling adventure continues😱😱😱😆😆😆😆

The plot is as follows

The anime centers on a girl named Elaina. When she was a kid, she loved reading books. And among all the books she read, there was a series called 'Niike's Adventure', which was her favorite. It was a collection of short stories about the witch Niike's adventures around the whole world, based off of the writer's own life experience. Elaina liked Niike's adventures so much that starting her own adventure became her all life's dream.

Even though the story is generally on the dull side but it still well done if you want something short.

The animation, voice acting and OST is good too.
