That is the connection the writers wanted the audience to make.
I get that Elias doesn’t quite understand the connotations of the word “bride,” but the mangaka does. He starts the story buying an underage girl and calling her his bride. The show’s premise doesn’t do Elias any favors. While the show does call him out for some of his more possessive behavior, it often gets played off as humorous instead of dangerous. He’s a man-child who throws a magical hissy fit the second Chise talks to someone he didn’t tell her to. Once she finally shows interest into something other than the 400+-year-old man-child who bought her, she grows more interesting, but falls into the same “blandly nice” personality as the rest of the cast.Įlias, our hero, has a personality at least, but it’s not one I’m a fan of. I get that she’s depressed, but a character is supposed to entertain, not act like a living blob. In the first handful of episodes, the only action she takes is selling herself into slavery. It happens too often, which, in addition to losing its effectiveness, also makes it hard to believe Chise struggled to connect with people prior to the story. The story about a young woman overcoming depression through love and exploring a magical realm has great potential, but this supposedly traumatized girl ends up swapping overly dramatic and intimate backstories with every person she meets. Our heroine, Chise, isn’t much better, which is really a shame. If you described these characters by personality alone, you wouldn’t be able to tell most of the cast apart. The side cast is composed of characters with similar “blandly nice” personalities with few exceptions. The soundtrack is also worth listening too.īut despite having high production quality and a magical world to explore, Magus Bride falls flat thanks to its dull cast and lack There were scenes that were, for a lack of a better word, magical. I’ll start with what I liked about Mahoutsukai no Yome. So where did things go wrong? The plot? The characters? The worldbuilding? All of the above? But even anime that fail to live up to expectations usually fail them this hard. Maybe that was my mistake, and I expected too much. Like many others, I highly anticipated Mahoutsukai no Yome.
