Madan no Ou to Vanadis

The series plays out like a "Docudrama", with explanations of enmities and alliances, breakdowns of larger combats explaining troop movements and how a small force / "hero's" impact change the balance, etc.

(This means Anime fans who want non-stop action should likely skip this one.)

The slight difference was enjoyable and allowed for more massive engagements without turning each episode into endless combat. With only a few exceptions the majority of characters didn't feel like cardboard cutouts.

Pros:

• Battle "synopsis" during combat explaining actions taken by the armies is an interesting story trick.
• Nice variety of personalities and motivations behind the factions.
• Magic (weapons or casters) are rare and powerful, making it it something that changes the balance of conflicts.
• Characters are generally not cardboard cutouts.
• Consistent Animation.
• Good English Dubbing.
• "Fan Service" is uncommon.

Cons:

• Harem situation made sense at first and then got a little silly.
• Comically oversized special sword.
• When "Fan Service" shows up it's a bit distracting.
• Short ending.

I wish it had a follow up season, but plan to track down the OVA shorts, "Tigre and Vanadish" hoping for some closure.

I didn't get past episode one. This show is really boring and generic.

I loved this anime very much..expecting for the next season..

It is very good story but lost its essence because of over sexualize of it nature that takes away the feel of story may be it just for me. But most of time its too uncomfortable and unnecessary at lest 5-6 time nude like scene and most of them create no sense. If this scene execute better fell good then.

Female Counterpart is mentally weak. What is master and slave relationship. You know that probably but here master never try to claim its ownership, like the showcase hero(slave) piece every time. Just never feel like a strong character. Then actually main issue is Eleonora Viltaria strong by nature feel like week in front of Vron and however she suppose to be master but she never dictate anything on Vron which is slave. Like SAO here Viltaria can be powerful and dictating as Arusuna but Viltaria and other powerful girl just feel weaker in front of Vron. And basically make more better charter. I like to give 6 but actually good story earn 7.

I liked this show, but somehow it just fell a bit flat for me. Not sure why, because I usually enjoy fantasy/battle shows in general (GoT is the bomb!).

Tigre is a young nobleman from the fictional province of Alsace in Brune. He is a highly skilled bowman, but he gets captured by a cute and busty War Maiden of Zchted named Elenora during a skirmish. She takes him prisoner but treats him very well, eventually lending him her army to defeat some unpleasant Dukes in his own kingdom with designs on the throne. Cue lots of battles and bouncing bosoms.

The animation is quality and the characters are all likable. The story is interesting enough to hold your attention, but maybe I might have liked it more if it wasn't so tame. Overall, it wasn't bad, but just not great either.
