(CR) The Witch and the Beast (Majo to Yajuu)

So Guideau is in Angela's Body?
Now I'm curious why Mr Mage thinks guideau is so important to him. Though I think it's probably more the original owner of guideau's body who is important...

Hrm, one thing I either missed or which was misstated on the show, Guideau actually knows who cast the curse on her (Angela), while her mission seems to be to find the witch who cursed her, by kissing every witch she comes across on the off chance that it's the correct one. Am I missing something here, or is the show contradicting itself?

Guideau has said Angelo can switch bodies.

[magnuskn]

Yeah, but she knew that it was Angela, while it seemed at the beginning that she had no clue who the witch was. At least in my recollection. Anyway, it's a minor thing.

Angela can switch bodies, so to Guideau any witch is potentially Angela.

Well, that fits with her/his bestial personality. ^^

Spoiler for final thoughts:

8/10

Not bad. I was worried that they would do the whole kiss -> transform -> win thing every arc, but they really did save it for the final boss

All in all, it was a fairly fine watch, though it is just an advertisement anime that ends on an open note. Not super predictable or anything, which is good. These type of punk protagonists are rare these days too
However, the budget was noticeably meh, especially since transformed Guideau just uses a voice changer over the female Guideau's voice instead of actually using a separate male VA

Favorite episodes are definitely the sword girl's arc, if not just because she provides "Kawaii" that the rest of the anime really lacks

There were some stories in this that were interesting, but there were also some things that were just too convenient or just dumb. Like what happened at the end of the final episode with the kid reviving without the consequences of necromancy, and how witch power releases only work once per witch.

6/10

[magnuskn]

Well, we had quite unlikeable protagonists (and I only say that about Ashaf because he's such a slick customer, otherwise he was quite a decent chap), but a rather good story and interesting world overall. 7/10.
