This show is bad. Of course there are worse shows out there, but what makes this show unbearable is that it revels in its mediocrity. There are no worthwhile characters in this show, and any semblance of "character development" is just a handful of conveniences and plot armor that does whatever it wants to make its characters succeed.

Melida has not earned any of what she has been given. Kufa is there to solve a majority of her problems and she really doesn't have to work in most situations she finds herself in. When Kufa isn't there, Melida is given an unbelievable amount of plot armor and the show disguises the fact that she hasn't really grown as a character. The show tells you she's grown when she really hasn't.

For Chiibi, I cannot understand your argument for how good she is as a character. When compared to actual strong female characters/well developed female characters in other shows/manga, its painfully obvious how bland and uninspired Melida is as a character.

Emma from The Promised Neverland, Jolyne from JoJo Part 6, Anzu from Hinamatsuri, Mitsuha from Kimi no na Wa, Megumi from Saekano, Yuki Nagato from Haruhi, and Akane from SSSS Gridman are what I would consider good female characters and are far better in terms of their development and personality. And these are just to name a few.

It's fine if you think Melida is a strong, well developed, female character, but you have to understand you are in the minority and you haven't done a good job convincing me and plenty of others that she is.

What are you talking about? She fights hard and has proven she is capable of learning information and using it to the best of her ability.

What "plot armor"? Provide examples of that.

you are in the minority


Proof of THIS, please. Lol

you haven't done a good job convincing me


Well, nobody's been able to convince ME that she isn't a good heroine. All people have said so far is "I don't like her drama, I don't like her childishness, I don't like her jealousy (even though she acts the same way) Rosetti is better because she's hotter REEEEEEEEEEEE!!"

Seriously, how is anyone going to convince me when they can't come up with anything better than "I DUN LIK HUR SHE ANOYING"....or the invalid nonsense you said?

and plenty of others


You mean all two of you? :)

The burden of proof is on you. People say the characters aren't that great, and you say they are. You say how they are great, yet fail to provide any examples. We are asking how she is a good character yet you fail to provide any examples.

I haven't see anyone (on MAL and outside of MAL) say Rosetti is a good character. There are no well written characters in this show. They all stay within the confines of their trope, and are not really explored outside of what their trope dictates.

I can't rewatch the episodes right now so I can't give any concrete examples right now, but I sure as hell will when I get the chance because there are definitely a lot of plot armor moments in this show. Give me a week.

I found translations of the first part of the manga & LN, have skim-read both and I can 100% say that this was a wasted oppertunity.

A decent adaptation and melida wouldn't be a hopeless trope, Kufa would have been significantly darker. And the world, magic, rankings & politics would have been explained.

The story would have made sense.

Details like the miners, the mineral that provides light, life outside the chandelleir, the legendary person, all those details are missing...

As it stands the OP and the first episode were the best bits.

Episode 1 Was A Rocky Start Had Very Impactful Start Which Why I Watched It But On The Flip side I Enjoy It Based On Characters Development And I Would Love To See A Season 2 Of The Anime.

Down Sizes It Was Too Fast Pace Could Of Had More Romance Scenes And More Episodes Which we All Would Like For Most Anime Series But We Got What We Got Right.

Each fight scene is basically:

Melida: I'm managing to hold my own!
Antagonist of the week: Behold my ultimate move.
Melida: oh shit oh fu-
Kufa: Let me asspull my way in, ojou-sama.

Maybe you're just terrible at reading because yes, I f*cking did.

But if you insist, I will gladly go over all the times she impressed me in the first THREE episodes alone.

Episode 01

* She falls, Kufa catches her. Instead of freaking out (because of her mini skirt), she politely introduces herself. She seemed pretty embarrassed but acts like a lady and handles it in a mature way. Most female characters lash out and kick or punch in this type of situation.

* She is attacked by the lycanthropes (I can't spell that) but REFUSES to call for help. No matter how much it hurts, or how scared she is, she doesn't give up. Shows she is brave and determined.

* This is a tiny but significant scene; when Kufa offers his hand to her, she stands up on her own.
Independence

* Kufa offers her a way to awaken her mana "but she might die". Melida accepts anyway.

Ok, let's just stop and think about this for one second. Please ask yourself;

Would you take a medicine if a possible side effect was DEATH?

Lol of course you f*cking wouldn't. You'd be too scared. So would I. So would a lot of people. No doubt the little girl was scared...but she did it, hoping for the best outcome.

That's incredibly brave. Courage isn't about not being scared. It's about being scared and facing that fear head-on.

So you might argue "Plot can't advance unless she agreed though". Uh bullshit. Kufa could have forced it on her, she could have accidentally taken it etc, but no, the author wanted to show us how courageous Melida is, thus it was a consensual act.

And this is still a 13-year-old girl we're talking about here

I think she's braver than most shounen male MCs in just her first episode!!

So as you know, her mana awakens and she uses it to wipe the floor with Nova in episode 02. She also stands up to her, something she failed to do in episode 01.

Character Development, hello?

Episode 03 shows us how Melida is still brave and can kick ass even WITHOUT her mana. She and Ellie are put in a room where they are rendered powerless.

Does the girl panic and cry for her sensei?

NOPE, she doesn't. She remembers what Kufa taught her, keeps her cool, gathers her resources and makes a weapon. Demonstrates she is not just brave but intelligent and level-headed. Kufa didn't teach her what elements she had to combine; she figured this out by herself. Then she attacks the lycanthropes again, declaring "I'm not afraid of you anymore", and escorts Ellie (WHO WAS TOO SCARED TO DO SHIT) to safety.

I can do the other episode summaries of 'Melida Angel is boss' if these are not good enough 'examples' for you. But they freaking should be.

Melida is great because she is able to rescue herself without the help of a guy...yet she's still feminine and not afraid to love a guy. She's like the best example of what it means "to be a girl". She's strong-spirited and fights as hard as she can while wearing pretty dresses and dreaming of a future with the man she loves. She is not satisfied with 'just being protected' she wants to protect him instead.

Yes, Melida still has a childish side (um hi so does every female character in the series)...but she can still kick your ass. :)

When I compare her to other female chars of seinen shows, I like her more than most of them...

Yuki-Gakkougurashi -is a freaking retard who acts like a baby until the final two episodes of her show

Riko-Made in Abyss- smart but does REALLY stupid shit sometimes lol She also has to be saved a lot.

Shana/Aria/Kugimiya Rie girls - normally good at fighting...but have bratty dispositions and are a bit immature with how they lash out violently. I like them...but they're no Angels.

Madoka girls- Madoka's a wuss, Sayaka is foolish, Kyoko is bitchy and Homura is emo. Lol I prefer Melida's personality over all of them.

Ai-Sunday Without God- Actually Ai and Melida have very similar personalities and traits. Melida's probably a little braver...but I'd say I like both girls equally. They are sweet, spirited, optimistic, and take pride in their actions...without being self-righteous or haughty about it.

WTF Melida is Heroine of the season and the romance is the best part. You must be on drugs. D:

How the hell is she "very anoying"!?

She's smart, brave, strong-spirited, and kind. She does her best and she doesn't take crap from anybody!



Its your opinion. Its obvious you like this anime.80% of this anime is some girl drama , and even that drama is done like shit. Romance is not my thing. At least the way they are doing it in this anime. Melida is generic and boring character. Kufa was interesting at first but then he went all beta butler mode so now even he is boring and predictable. I think 6/10 is decent for this anime. Realistic score.

What is exactly is "Girl drama" defined or constituted as ? Anyone can have drama in their lives, male or female. It seemed to me the only drama in the anime was just Melida's ancestry and lack of ability in the beginning, besides the lighthearted jabs about her and Kufa.

Bruh, you sound just as ignorant as the people you're attempting to call out. Not all women are the same, just as not all men are the same. I'm a female and don't have drama at all, nor do I approach every situation like the "average female". I don't like girly shit, wearing make-up and dresses, etc, either. I think a lot differently, I play video games, watch anime, and keep to myself. Rather than grouping people and the actions they take together by gender, realize that everybody is different and nobody is defined by what genitals they were born with.

Thats minority. Im talking about majority of men and women. Ofcourse everyone is an individual. Also depends where you come from. I come from Eastern Europe, while Americans are way different from us. Everything depends where you were raised, how you were raised, and what type of person are you in general. Everyone can have their own opinion, but if you someone starts bashing my way of thinking because they are a feminist or sjw, ofcourse I will bash their opinion then. Seems fair.

Quite the opposite for me. I went in with expectations of a battle harem of old, pure wish fulfillment fantasy, a return to old trash amongst the isekai trend, and it's turned out to be a highlights of the season for me.

I share a lot of your sentiments. I'm not at all invested in Elise or Nerva bullshit. It's a bit annoying, even. Melida, I also had a terrible first impression of her. Especially after the breakdown in the school, starting the drama with Elise and not at all standing up to her bullies in the first episode. I hated it all. But where our opinions differ is Melida's character as a whole. I began to like her, a lot.

Melida struggling against the pumpkins was the first point where I kind of liked her. Being threatened by her own family, she doesn't even call for help. She has nothing to offer, she's a disappointment, so she feels shame even asking for help when she needs it, instead choosing to suffer alone. I pitied her, the same as Kufa. And then Kufa decides to support her. That's when her character starts going a more likable route.

As soon as she gets mana and at least Kufa to support her, something to offer to others and someone who wasn't disappointed in her, something she can call her own and someone she can look up to, she begins to improve. No longer an emotional wreckage all the time. She's quite sweet with Kufa, even if she's more solemn around others. No longer just taking hits. She can use the one thing she has to stand up for not only herself, but those around her. Just the tiny little thing she was given, using it to make a difference. I liked it.

Along with her progression, I liked her relationship dynamic with Kufa. I also want to see more of Kufa assassin work, but I don't mind this. An impure monster, seeing someone pure with potential to be better than him, deciding to do some good by cultivating that potential. A villain raising a hero, who might one day take his life. Putting his life at risk for just a small hope to do good in a world of darkness. Not to mention how wholesome their interactions are. She looks up to the him in honest admiration, he looks after her as a deceitful guide, but both bound by mutual feelings of trust and care for each other.

It comes down to this. Whether you're sold on Melida's character or not. If you are, like me, then even if you don't care for Elise, you'll enjoy seeing Melida grow as she takes on her breaking relationship and learns to fix it. The drama has a point now. If you don't care for Melida, which you seem to not, I guess it all turns into pointless drama.






If I am being honest I loved this anime. I watched it within 2 days. I do agree it was a bit cringy but I loved the growth that It has shown throughout the anime with Medlida. I love the connection between her and Kufa, which also gives me SAO vibes. I dont like Harems so I'm glad this wasn't overdid with that kind of topic. I want to see another season to see if Melida grows in age. I find it strange a romance is between a 13 year old girl and a 17 year old. It's not THAT big of an age gap. I love romance and this anime has a lot of action in it. I'm a bit confused with the whole concept though so I might rewatch it. I think its deserving to watch because of Melidas growth as a person. I like the story as a whole and the moral of it. I hope there will be a second season.

It's more of a middle school anime than a high school one. I'm still confused about the whole assassin thing and vampire with kufa. Also touching on his backstory was a bit confusing. I did like how it tried to make both characters equal. The graphics are also very nice and the characterization is somewhat unique.

The fact of how much they trust in each other, is very rare in other animes. My favorite part would be when they fought together. It was so interesting to watch considering how Kufa was teaching her the whole time. Those who aren't interested in animes or middle school drama shouldnt watch because they probably would think it's really cringy or immature.

Therefore I give this a 8/10. I mostly reach to the 7 side but it's well worth it to me.

This. Exactly.
I'm no SJW or Feminist but, I can't stand ignorance, rudeness, or inherent disregard for facts.

Annoying gender assumptions aside, this anime was okay. It wasn't anything too special but, it wasn't that bad either. You have to take it for what it is, like Arifureta (can't remember the rest of the title). It was a little cringe but, good for what it actually was.

I can tell you the exact moment it went from enjoyable trashy kind of fun with a lot of hidden potential to when it started getting straight stupid and it was the end of the episode when the obvious villain claimed Kufa was the one to kill all those people when they first went on the trip. I had been watching it week to week at that point honestly excited for each episode when I kinda lagged behind all the shows I was watching at the time, but I remember when I binged up the rest of the show till completion how every single episode seemed to outdo itself with stupidity and honestly had me mad at certain things. Like Kufa taking away best girls memories to “protect” her. Ik I shouldn’t be mad either since it was obvious from the beginning but she would’ve been a better love interest for him while Melioda could’ve either been with another girl at her school or she could’ve just not had one at all and learned how to stand for herself because unlike some others I actually did like her and Kufa sharing the protagonist role with her getting more of the stoplight. Anyway sorry for this long ramble to say yes it did get much worse in the second half even tho I’m definitely going to read the ln and wait for season 2.

I enjoyed this anime towards the start but less towards the end.

But like Zeroshiki said, you gotta take it for what it is (I actually prefer Arifureta over this a but) and it honestly wasn't all too bad.
and I also don't think that the main MC was weak just because she was...girly? or whatever? Every person is different and just cause she gets flustered around her Sensei or is clumsy or wants to have friends does not equal weakness or a bad character.

Anway, I will probably start reading the Manga as I heard it gets better and Kufa himself is also a lot better portrayed than in the Anime.
