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.
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 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.

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.
