Assassins Pride

This series was great, it had an interesting plot and good development of character. I hope they make another season so we can see how Melida's strength grows. Her instructor is also super cool, more intense battles further on will be quite interesting.

This anime series is set in a world where some people have magical powers. Those that do form the noble families and children are expect to start developing their powers in their early teens. Melida Angel has so far shown no sign of developing powers and her father suspects she may not be his daughter. He has hired Kufa Vampir to act as her tutor and if she fails to manifest any powers he is to kill her. He doesn't follow his instructions; instead he gives some of his power giving mana to her enabling her to show powers... the only problem is that she isn't the class she should be so must hide her class. Over the course of the series Kufa, Melida, and school mates will face a variety of tests and dangers.

This is a solid enough fantasy anime; it might not stand out in this crowded genre but it passes the time nicely and has some good ideas. As things get dangerous towards the end the tension rises nicely. The characters are pretty good so it is easy to care for them in these perilous situations. The animation is pretty good and the character designs suitably distinctive. Overall a decent enough series which fans of the genre should enjoy.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

The anime has an interesting setting, in which those of high social status live better than those below them (No Brainer) and all live within these domes where malevolent creatures are a threat. I enjoy the fact that our female protagonist has an internal conflict to deal with in the beginning of the anime, and later has both internal and external, as she bonds ever so slightly to her instructor.

I rate this an 8/10 because it has a great opening and ending music. The colors are beautiful and portray the characters in an appropiate manner. The anime is by no means boring, as event after event lead our protagonists to become closer. It is to be taken seriously but is not afraid to liven up the audience here and there so long as it is the time to do so. And it is a great story and a getaway from current mainstream anime.

Assassins Pride offers very little new as an anime, but that doesn't mean it can't be fun at times. At its best, this show reminds me of the early seasons of Sword Art Online, which is some of my favorite anime content of all time. The characters here are alright if not a bit underdeveloped, but I found myself caring about them when it mattered. This show's biggest flaw for me was definitely the setting/world building, as when they first introduce it it looks really interesting and cool, but very little is done from then on to expand on it. They try a little harder on the lore side, but it still never got me all that invested. Overall I think this show isn't bad, but there are definitely better anime out there with similar styles and premises.

I loved this anime. I know that is a tipical story between a teen girl and a teen boy, and that is why some people hate this animé. BUT I love the graphics and the story was entertaining and I heve just wonderfull words about the anime. The story was complex, well written and full of teen love.
