EP. REVIEW: Maerchen Maedchen

Just a note, since I seem to have left out half a sentence - Yumelia's personality is aligned with Shuten Doji; Hazuki's Original is Cinderella, which hopefully foreshadows her own development.

Not often do I come across a show that has its main character also be the semi-narrator and I personally like it when that happens. She appears to be relatable character to follow and the magic academy seems interesting as well. Pretty decent start so far. Let’s see where this series takes us from here (Especially since this is based on a source material from an author who is unfortunately no longer with us. )

Just to be clear, the author never wrote a word of the novel. He made the concept, but died before starting it. The writing is made by the group he created, so there's no much risk of a writing shift in the middle of the series.

Shizuka's meeting with a high-ranking member of magical society already has him advocating to nullify Hazuki's contract with Cinderella via memory erasure simply because she's an outsider.

That aside, I think Hans Christian Andersen may be screaming from the afterlife at Maerchen Maedchen's version of his classic literary fairy tale The Little Matchgirl.
