Characters:
Some characters develop backwards, turning into people who have not gained the emotional stability they had (gained) in destiny. Most new characters are introduced to the bare minimum. Most of them with no depth.

Story:
Recycled plot elements from destiny. Can't beat the "good guys"? Just give the bad guys better technology, and vice versa. If you are under the constraint of a single movie, don't cram in content which is normally intended for a whole arc.

Music:
Almost none of the soundtracks stuck out, unlike in the prequels. Feels like music was an afterthought, not enhancing the story at all. Also...a certain performance ... was missing.

Art/Animation:
SFX are good. Character design is alright, less of the "same face" phenomenon. I'm not against fanservice, however, there are some characters and moments for which it is just inappropriate. Background/scenery is beautiful.

I was so hyped when I saw that my most favorite anime got a sequel. This is such a disappointment if it was not meant as a parody. View the end of destiny as the end of the story and you are good.

I was expecting a feel good, episodic story with comedic elements. Something already done so often and I expected to drop this show after 1 or 2 episodes. Episodic anime rarely hook me (except for yuru camp). 4 episodes in, I can say that the story is episodic but each episode is done so well. Majo no Tabitabi managed to hook me. Each of Elaina's adventures is interesting and mind you, can be feel good, dark and/or include some action. She is a character I came to like from episode 1. In particular, she is not some altruistic person who thinks she has to save ... the whole world and get involved in every problem. Sometimes there is a slight sense of watching a bystander because she is not necessarily the center point of the episode (which is refreshing). The soundtracks fit the atmosphere very well and the character design is nice (eye colors are drawn quite well) and backgrounds are detailed.

This short review will be spoiler free.
The main theme of this story is very unexpected and is not made clear from the beginning which is quite a pleasant surprise. I can definitely understand why people give the movie an 8. But, for me the main theme is focused on a bit too heavily. The Art ist veeeery beautiful and was the main reason why I picked up the movie. The fantasy setting is interesting. The story is alright, not too surprising. The first and especially the last quarters are my favorite parts. As for the soundtrack nothing particular stuck out to me. I ... will relisten to the ED though. This is one of the few works I have seen where even I realized there is great character development. 7/10 overall.

Story is nothing new but the CGI, music and character design are nice. Especially the ED is very catchy. I am really enjoying the show right now since there are not many good thriller/agent themed anime from what I gather. The MC is neither overpowered nor stupidly pathetic. It doesn't take him 10/12 episodes to change his mindset.
I was surprised that this is a mobile game adaptation since I haven't had good experiences with those.
The concept of capturing points is nothing new but it is the first time I see it (kinda) outside of a game.
All in all I give it a ... 7/10 for now.
