What's the point of this show, "The Saintʼs Magic Power is Omnipotent"??
Its been 10 episodes and I still don't get the point of this show. Like, do something other than making potions already!!
Making potions is already a tragic story if you can't do that
Jk haven't watched this one
Dunno why but this got me good xD
It's because it is based on a true story
What's this "story" about?
Basically last year I had the lab class (assembling pharmaceutical preparations so basically potions) at uni and manuality is not exactly my forte.
Exactly my thoughts! I'm in the 10th episode and I'm still waiting for something to happen, it feels the show is still in the beginning, when in reality it is almost in the end.
Exactly!! T_T
I felt the same way after episode 5, gave it till episode 8 and dropped it, I thought I was the only one who felt the lack of progression.
U ain't alone :)
the point of this show is the love story between Sei and Hawke, since it's revealed in episode 10 that the saint's magic power is the power of love
I see, but if romance was the central point of this show, they could have shown it to us in a more direct way!! Felt like they were showing us the same thing over and over again. Sei makes potions, gets shy around Hawke and heals the injured. The story lacks progression imo.
I agree. The romance was lacking a bit. I felt they should have developed more before ep10 if it means unlocking the Saint's true power.
I guess it's depends for each person. Personally I think the romance is sweet enough, and I don't think the anime actually aims for more. This is more like a 'healing' anime than other
I agree about it having a lack of progression, but tbh I like it that way since it's more relaxing to watch. I think that is also what this anime aims to be tho, just a light-hearted and relaxing watch
Yeah it does depend from person to person. I was intrigued by the premise and had my hopes high, and so i was kinda disappointed. But, i do agree that it is relaxing to watch.
If romance was the point then you'd think they'd make Hawke a real character instead of a flat cardboard cutout of a generic handsome gentleman
It's a fantasy slice of life, so it's just about how Sei lives her new life in the isekai world she was transported in. The show is pretty mid and I have no idea why I'm still watching it LMAO. I guess I'm watching it for the smooth ass visuals because, damn, I'm not gonna lie, man, the show looks colorful and mesmerizing from time to time.
Agreed!! Tbh it felt really unique at first, and so I had my hopes high :( Expected a major turn of events or some deaths, but sadly, we dont get them T_T
Btw, the visuals are indeed mesmerizing. The only reason I couldn't drop this show till now is for the visuals!!
Its a slice of life?
IIt aint abt it being a SoL, imo this anime is showing the same things too many times, and there's no clear goal, which an isekai with such kind of a premise needs.
Yh i still dont know why im watching this but when it finishes you can count on me giving it a 2-3/10 lmao
idk what you mean but i'm liking this show
U can definitely like the show. Opinions differ, after all. Its just that I am disappointed and I'm sharing my opinion. I ain't hating on it :)
not every show is supposed to be a high action battle shounen….. this show is just a slow paced fantasy world love story and if you don’t like that then don’t watch it
Misunderstood again sigh!! My problem with it is that it isnt showing anything new. There is no story progression. A fantasy world with a love story can (and must, imo) atleast have a decent plot progression to be considered good!!
it feels very slow and very fast at the same time. there's some sort of formula or rather pattern that I've noticed with the episodes. the first 20 minutes give or take are so slow and then it begins to pick up in the last 5 minutes but it feels very odd... as if they're trying to cram everything that could potentially be some sort of plot progression into those 5 minutes only.
and the issue after that is the fact that they then don't continue the tiny bit of development into the next episode, we just start at square one with aimless slice of life. rinse and repeat the formula I mentioned earlier.
So the Saint's magic power is love. They could have showed this within 4 eps at max :(
The repetitiveness of this show is off the charts!!
Yes, at the start I thought it would develope into the slice of live/feel good Isekai direction, what would be slighty unusual for isekais, cause most often they are about action, fantasy, ecchi and so forth. So I was quite optimistic about that. Also with the start that she spawns in a new world and gets abandoned you could have made a very interesting story out of it, but she just got picked up by some guy from the institutes and it went on very soothing.
So we couldn´t get a "from rags to riches" story so it has to aim for a slice of live, feel good anime, but therefore you would need an interesting story or caracter setting but all the caracters liked each other or we never saw real drama. The most drama we saw probably was between the prince and his fiancee who fought over the second isekai girl or at the end between Hawke-sama and the mercenary leader, but they just traded evil looks. Not even somekind of comedic touch we got from there. The way it was at the end... it just resembled to me to a fairy/princess story written for 8year old girls it was just going forth to smoothly and in my eyes had not realy any kind of purpose. I think even disney stroys are way more advanced in the drama or caracter development writing.
I would feel bad rating it next to Ex-Arm or Gibiate, but honestly it wasn´t much better - well the animation and so forth wasn´t that bad...Can't agree enough!! This felt like a Disney movie, except that it had worse writing.
I haven't finished the last episode yet, but that's exactly why I'm personally vibing with this show.
The first few episodes were just "ok" for me, and most of the plot was pretty obvious from the start. But it was so relaxing to watch this show after stuff like Vivy, 86, and To Your Eternity, that I found myself looking forward to watching Sei go about her day.
Also, there were a few times that other shows left me emotionally wrecked and this show, along with the 2 slime shows, were there to revive me a bit :P.This show kind of feels like a mild reverse-harem (we all knew who the main guy was) shojo power fantasy with some flying witch sprinkled on top, and that made a pretty good complement to everything else airing for me.
Just my 2 cents.
there is none, it seems like a shoujo story written by middle schooler and aimed at middle schoolers
As a member of the target audience of this Josei, I must admit I found it rather enjoyable. No pointless drama, no bitchy characters, no annoying "comedic relief", just a plain and simple, relaxing show. I especially enjoyed how it playfully omitted certain tropes. The pacing could be a bit awkward at times (whenever they held a shot for too long it felt like they were padding the runtime), but other than that I have no complains.
I enjoyed it for what it is: a light hearted, drama-free fantasy slice of life with a bit of romance and a likeable female lead.
If someone here liked the non-drama and more wholesome approach, try My Roommate is a Cat. Similar pacing :)
