Warning: this anime has no proper ending.
It's like this whole season was the prologue for some big series, but we all know it'll be lucky if it manages to get a second season.
Orhun, our main character, is an overpowered adventurer that is kicked from the hero's party under the pretense of "you are too weak". Then he is invited to participate in a project to teach 3 young adventurers, and they develop a bond with Orhun-sensei, watching his overpowered skills and admiring him as a person. That's a proper plot and honestly the anime should have kept it like that.
Then we are introduced to a
...
hidden plot: some mysteries about Orhun's past, a hidden villain that never truly appears to the main character, a party of people trying to kill Orhun and his students, and somehow Orhun has a convinient amnesia regarding his past (obviously to hide plot holes). It's like they are preparing for the "true plot" to unfold but then the anime finishes and we are left with no explanations and an awkward cliff-hanger.
TLDR: It's cliché but has a nice vibe with the MC being a teacher, until it rushes some hidden and confusing plot and the anime finishes suddenly.

Scarlet is a movie aimed to make people reflect deeply over complex subjects like Life, Death, afterlife, revenge, forgiveness, family, frienship, and even romance... It tries to tackle all those subjects and spectacularly fails at properly portraying and developing every single one of them.
We have the story of Scarlet, a princess that is poisoned while trying to kill her Uncle, the current king. She's trying to avenge her father, but is instead sent to the afterlife.
Now, I always make it a point to notice if the main character has any real significance to the plot. Conclusion: in this movie, the main character Scarlet has no
...
real significance to the plot. If you removed her actions from the movie, some good characters could potentially avoid death, and the villain would still have the same ending had she not interfered.
Since this is a spoiler-free review, it's hard to explain the many plot holes and loose ends in the story, but I can assure you that there's just too many for any person to be satisfied after watching it.
TLDR: it's a movie for adults, but any adult with more than 1 braincell will be disappointed because the storywritting is underdeveloped.

Animation: It's the only redeeming aspect of this anime, as the animation is pleasant to watch.
Character design: Very basic and stereotypical. The classic "villaines" that has a femme fatale beauty and arrogant attitude; the plain and shy "good girl"; and the knight-ish and taciturn male lead. The supporting characters are also not interesting nor innovative.
Plot: Butchered! You don't even need to know the original work to notice that the anime rushed the story to the point of spoiling it completely. There's too much happening too suddenly, the character's actions make no sense (because it's missing important key moments to connect to their development), and overall
...
it's too rushed.
Character development: Spoiled by the plot. The characters become extremely nonsensical and take actions that don't match their personalities. For me the anime was over and done at ep 9, when the main characters forgave the killer of an innocent person. Our main characters are driven by revenge and justice, so forgiving a killer with a pat on the back is definitely out of character and took away the enjoyment of watching the show.
TLDR: The anime is a rushed mess of political plot, the character's actions make no sense, and there's no enjoyment in watching it.

High-five if you also feel baited by episode 1! This anime presented us with great potential in the first episode and then went directly downhill. Wasted potential!
Animation: The high budget animation of this anime is definitely eye-catching, but as other people have pointed out in their reviews, the animation is often choppy. Also, the difference between the overall design of the characters and the design of enemy monsters is awkward.
TLDR: Even tough the animation is a positive point of this anime, animation alone can't carry this anime because it's lacking in other points.
Characters: I'm on episode 5 and so far we had zero character
...
development. The anime keeps introducing characters one of after another, almost trying to develop their story, and then imediately pushes them away as background characters. At the end of the day we can't really immerse in any of the character's personalities, nor empathise with them because there's not enough development.
TLDR: Too many characters, too little actual character development.
Story: This is the most concerning point of this anime - it's where it's going directly downhill. This anime throws a lot of information but it fails to actually wave them into a developing story. For example, we understand that the MC got framed on purpose by the church, but it doesn't develop the story around it! Instead, we keep watching the MC being the church's hound dog alongside other random heroes, with zero actual objetive or action to avenge himself against the church. Also, after you watch episode 1, if you watch the next ones in random order you wouldn't even notice that it's the wrong order... that simply shows how bad is the lack of story.
TLDR: The story doesn't develop after episode 1, we keep watching action scenes and the MC's situation stays the same.
I'll keep watching because I'm a completionist, and I might change this review if the story starts to actually happen, but nothing will change the fact that eps 2 to 5 are not enjoyable.

Champignon no Majo has an uniqueness that catches our attention from the very first episode. The animation is definitely the highlight, and the ambientation and characters pair perfectly in a way that reminds us of Ghibli movies.
Unfortunately, the pacing of this anime is painfully slow, alarmingly so! If you look at the poster of this anime, there are 2 main characters: the witch and a blond boy. Well, believe it or not, the blond boy will only start actually interacting with the witch on episode 6. That's basically half of the anime just building up the background story!
Unfortunately, we've had too many scenes extend way
...
more than they should, specifically the ones with dialogues. We even had a full episode that is 100% dialogue strictly inside the witch's house... that was so frustrating and boring!
It would make sense if this anime already had a second season announced, because honestly I don't think this anime will be able to wrap up a complete story.
[EDIT] I finished the anime and, as predicted, the anime got nowhere with the story; too much dialogue and too little action. I can't recommend this anime to anyone; even though it's beautiful, it's terribly boring and pointless.

Remember when we used to say "Better love story than Twilight?". Well, you are better off watching Twilight, because this anime is the epitome of SHALLOW.
As people pointed out: the animation is almost non-existent. You know what is also non-existent? The "Villainess" of this anime. She's an empty shell of "Miss Perfect" who, although claims to know the content of the game where she's inserted, has a total of 1 braincell and is never preparing for the plot development of her predictable life.
This anime's story is "modern" (riding on the already overused genre of 'Reincarnated Villaines') but the main characters are written like the
...
old tales - the "damsel in distress" with an empty head, and the "knight in shining armor" that saves her. At least the male lead has a proper episode explaining the development of his feelings for the female lead: he has watched her everyday reading her book, and that's how he fell in love. Woah, so deep romance! Imagine asking someone in marriage just because you found them pretty after stalking them... Yeah, nop.
Animating this story was a mistake. The *lack of* animation of this anime was also a mistake. There's no enjoyment in watching this, and if you have a bare minimum of standards when watching your animes, you will steer away of this one.

Isekai slow-life vibes.
Our MC is a noble that ends up in another world that is very similar to his original world. Instead of freaking out, he decided to enjoy the experience as "vacations". He finds an adventurer to guide him, decides to become an adventurer himself, and somehow everyone around him is male and is charmed by his elegance and tranquil vibes.
The main issue of this anime is that it doesn't have a clear objetive or storyline. The MC is just living in this new world: there's no drama happening, no antagonist, no plans to figure out a way back home, no comedy, barely
...
any action, and no romance... There is nothing about this story that can pick the viewer's interest.
Also, for some people it will be awkward because there are too many BL scenes, but it's not a BL. If you dislike BL, you won't enjoy watching it. But if you enjoy BL, you will end up frustrated because there is no actual romance in this anime at all (and the author already confirmed that it's not BL). Basically, there are only men in this anime (even the children and the old people are all men), and the MC's skinship with all these men is a common occurrence throughout the anime - and those scenes are always highlighted, making it very obvious that there's romantic tension between the characters, but it won't get anywhere.
The animation is very thoughtful and makes it a pleasant watch; I dare say that the production of this anime is the only redeeming point, because the story itself is lacking, and the characters are stagnant because there's no proper plot to develop them.
On a sidenote, I checked out the manga of this series, and it makes me wonder how does Japan decides which stories to animate... This one definitely didn't deserve an animation. The reason I rate it as "mixed feelings" is because the production of this anime did exceedingly well.

Ellen is definitely one of the most annoying main characters of anime history, with "miss perfect" syndrome.
She has both parents that love her. Her IQ is over 8000. Her skills are unlimited. Everyone loves her, trusts her, and she's basically a God.
Now, for the other supporting characters: everyone fawns over her, and everyone is helpess without her - nevermind that she's literally a little child that talks like a grown adult and knows things that are impossible for a kid to know - everyone just worships her.
As for the villain characters: Their IQ is less than 80. They are impossibly dumb and none of their
...
evil acts has real justification or objective, it's all shallow evil. Not only that, but some of the "villains" like the Royal Family aren't really evil, just wronged by the fact that their ancestors did evil things. (Other reviews also mention this issue and claim that Ellen is the real villain and the Royal Family is the victim, for example).
This anime has zero character development and no clear genre. It's not a funny anime, it's not romance, it's called "isekai" but has no true aspects of the isekai genre, it's not action, it's not adventure.... This anime is nothing, really. They tried to appeal to the "family relations" but failed miserably at it, since all families portrayed don't have any development or improvement: Ellen's family is all roses and rainbows from start to finish; Vankreift family is disfunctional with a father that spends too much time fawning over Ellen and forgets he has a daughter (and this issue is never truly addressed!); and the Royal Family is barely explained and just seems like an overall dysfunctional family (where is their mom??).
TLDR: The animation is good, the characters annoying with shallow personalities, and it looks like a 8yo wrote this story.

Such potential! But it was wasted on a painfully slow pacing....
It's possible to resume the entire anime in less than 40 words: Noble girl that eats monster meat is saved and proposed to by a Duke - she accepts it and he takes her to his home to introduce her to his people as his fiancée. End of story.
Basically it's 12 episodes that could have fit into 4 episodes. To actually be able to be this slow paced, the anime showed us a ton of background information on each character, and spent waaay too much time on trivial scenes.
About the overall qualities of the anime:
...
The animation is great, the characters are great, and it has proper character development. There's a balanced amount of supporting characters and plenty of information about the world and monsters that inhabit it.
I don't know if there will be a next season, but it would be worthwhile to watch if they fixed the pacing issue and started to develop an actual plot based on the main character's adventures, or the noble's reactions to their marriage, or introduced an actual villain.

This anime didn't even try to be average - it started bad and ended horrible.
PLOT:
The plot is the very cliché: our main character is born as "classless" in a world where everyone receives a class and skills to match it. There's no further explanation, no context about the world and how the system works. Don't expect this anime to explain >anything< to you.
Even tough he's classless, our main character is able to learn every skill if he "tries hard" (or simply looks at them once or twice, really). And his goal is to become the strongest swordsman. And he achieves it! Now, his goal is
...
to be strongest mage. And he achieves it! And the anime ends. That's it?? Yep, that's it.
CHARACTERS:
Our main issue is definitely the main character - it's like he was made by a 8yo kid for a school assignment, as he has absolutely no personality, no facial expressions, no emotions, and no emotional development. He has the plot armor of "being able to learn every skill", the plot armor of "my parents are the strongest swordsman and wizard in the world", and also I can't forget: every girl falls in love with him, he's loved by everyone except the antagonists. He always looks bored, the presence of other character always seem to annoy him, and he virtually needs no one except himself for the whole series.
The supporting characters in this anime stay for a maximum of 5 episodes, and there's barely any background to them, aside from the redheaded swordswoman that he meets in episode 1. But there's no romance or friendship development, don't expect anything from this anime and characters.
ANIMATION:
Below average. Lazy, crooked, often static. If the anime had actual plot and good characters then it wouldn't be so hard to watch even with the bad animation, but there's not a single good aspect of this anime to recommend. Most of the anime is about the main character, and he's always animated in the same way with the same face - only his mouth moves.
The only aspect that adds some "heart" to this anime is the voice actor's good job.
