Well, who's write nonsensical opening in the review although it is forbidden? Sou watashi desu!

Journey of Elaina is an anime that prouded itself with its self-loving and proud protagonist, fine young lady Elaina-san. The anime follow episodic approach with strong emphasis to Elaina's journey story.

Elaina journey story most of the time is not that strong. The stories is bearable and actually pretty interesting at first. The story is not groundbreaking, but enjoyable. They try to approach the story lightly but sometimes their approach is too light that the story is finished with "Ah, it is already 17 minutes in this episode, let's finish, ... mondai wa arimasen".

Then come the biggest problem, the characters. Elaina is beautiful, cute, and nothing else. She's come just to say "Sou watashi desu" and vanish. Elaina in this 12-episode journey function is well, just watching. She become our camera, our lenses, and let things and story, good or bad or cruel or heartwarming, happen. They always try to make Elaina look like prodigy and smart but well they can't show it. Elaina can get emotional development after some heavy episodes but nah episodic approach is important let's make Elaina forget about that at back stage. The supporting casts character is also meh. The relation of the characters is not well established. Flan si ypur typical sensei character, Sheila is typical brat, and Saya is just yurifags.

Next is Art and Sound, two strongest department of Majo no Tabitabi. Elaina is well, just stunningly beautiful especially with Witch suit. For fellow men of culture Elaina have many hidden fetish to unlock, like Elaina's neck. Other characters like Flan, Sheila, and Saya is also beautiful. The OST and especially OP-ED is top tier and increases enjoyment.

Overall, Elaina is enjoyble and decent anime. I enjoy their episodic and light approach. Yeah, at least they don't ruin enjoyment by insert excessive fanservice and let me enjoy my medieval cozy tales.

I found this anime in a Youtube channel, caught to watch it. So far I think Isekai Izakaya is good anime, so let's dig in :
1. story : 7 , good, unique but somewhat repetitive : New chara, enter store, appetizer, toriaezu nama, enjoyment
2. Art : Pretty inconsistent so 6
3. Sound : 7, good and catchy but not extraordinary
4. Character : 6, what do you expect from a short episode?
5. Enjoyment : Warm environment and New perspective in Medieval setting so 8
I excited to watch this anime because seemingly warm character and relaxed atmosphere and crossing between japanese and medieval europena culture. But as ... show progressed, there is some problem like inconsistent art and some "hanged" episode with seemingly unfinished story.
Overall, I enjoy the manga more but this anime is really good anime for enjoyment and light stories, don't expect anything bizarre or extraordinary, sit back and enjoy!
