Elainas Reise

Dark scene, wholesome moment's, comedy. Everything. But I don't know why people are failed to understand Elaina character

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 Journey of Eleina is not a bright happy-go-lucky story. It's not your typical, she went on a journey and lived happily ever after story. No. This anime is about the beautiful yet cruel world, and that's what makes this a masterpiece. Everything is honest and down to earth. A lot of people may not like this anime because it's too real, it's too vivid, but it's actually a reflection of real life and the challenges of the world we live in. The anime is told like a collection of fables, with each story having its own underlying message or theme. That's what makes this anime so unique!

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.

Ondering Witch Elaina, "Every journey begins with a single step. We just have to have patience."

The story isn't all adventuring to fun nations; it gets dark from time to time. The story shows that the world isn't always a bright place, especially since magic isn't always used for good, and there are wars going on...

Elaina's character display is a realistic portrayal of personality that isn't being shown on some anime nowadays. If you notice every little detail, and character interactions, you'll start to feel that some of this is not being shown on some typical anime that you've already watched. If you are the type who enjoys Fantasy, Slice of Life and somehow a little dark twist, then this one is just for you!

That being said, this is the type of show that you will very much enjoy from the start to the very last episode.
