On the surface, this show is about a cute adventurer witch that goes on fun adventures throughout the world. However, this isn't quite the reality. Yes, most of the episodes are fun and cute, but there are some that aren't as well. The first two episodes are basically what you would expect, with only a hint or two of what is to come. Then, in the 3rd and 4th episode, and a few later ones, things turn dark.

In my opinion, this is EXTREMELY similar to kino's Journey. A young girl goes on adventures throughout the land, encountering various beautiful, fun, exotic, and some dark and violent things. For the most part, there is one location per episode, and there are some recurring characters. That's the premise for both shows.

To be honest, I enjoyed watching this show, but it wasn't exactly my favorite thing ever. I also gave kino's Journey a 7, but I did like this show a little more.

The artwork is fantastic, the locations are some of the best parts about this show. You can tell the background artists in particular gave a lot of thought to their work. The animation isn't bad, but it's nothing special. The music is a little above average, but nothing to write home about. The op and ed are also just ok.

The characters in this show aren't very nuanced, and don't go through much character development, but most of them are fun and good additions even if their traits aren't very deep.

The places that elaina travels to are definitely a strong point. They aren't nearly as good as in kino's Journey, but they definitely interesting. Honestly I wish the locations were more of a focus than they were, because with a tiny bit more depth they could have been phenomenal, but for now they are just really good.

The action isn't great, it's mostly just a bunch of magic stuff with no real magic system or any weight behind anything, but the visuals are fun to watch. It's good for a show that isn't centered around action, but compared to any action show ever it's worse.

Overall, I enjoyed watching this show. It will not knock your socks off, nor do I think you will hate it. It's not a generic show, but it's definitely not breaking any boundaries. It's mostly in the middle for most things, but because I still liked it I'm giving it a 7.

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.

Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina is a unique anime that doesn't view karma as an infallible law, instead focusing on the characters' intentions and the consequences of their actions. While some viewers may misconstrue these themes as pretentious, Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina doesn't reject optimism or idealism. Karma and morality are treated as open-ended questions with no inherently correct answer, often influenced by luck. The show's various happy and unhappy endings demonstrate the complexity of these themes.

Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina is an enchanting story with an unpredictable pattern of storytelling. The story features happy, nature-inspired episodes that warm the soul, while darker, less frequent episodes challenge the characters' actions and beliefs. Even in quieter moments, subtle themes are explored, such as the construction of a wall in a small town. These themes complement the story on a wider scale, showing facets of Elaina's personality that are not explored in more serious episodes. The story is as much about Elaina herself as about the adventure, as travel is personal and inherently about the traveler.

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