Surprised CR didn’t pick this one up since it looks like the typical fantasy stuff they like to show.

I was thinking the same thing. When I saw this I figured it was a lock for Crunchyroll, but with it being on Prime, maybe I'll check it out. I'm sure it'll be the standard power fantasy fare, but it's bound to be better than Ubel Blatt, right?

lol I had low expectations for Ubel Blatt so I wasn’t disappointed when I dropped it, I have heard good things about the light novels to this one so I’m cautiously optimistic.

Hopefully Amazon treats this well.

The manga is actually really good, but I’m not confident that the animation will match the artwork.

Amazon treats their anime like Disney+ does. They stream it and make zero effort beyond that.

At least here in the U.S Amazon has made efforts to promote their anime’s, at least in instagram from what I’ve seen. I do agree with you on Disney though they get exclusive licenses to anime’s and then pretend they don’t exist.

I thought NBCUniversal was going to license this series to Hidive, luckily it will be on a platform that exists in many more places. This looks generic af, but I'll give it a shot when it premieres.

They were also pushing Magilumiere on their YouTube channel last year, but so far I haven't seen any marketing for anything beyond that.
