TV anime 'Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho' Announced for Spring 2017.

Plot Summary

Quote:

It was the year 526. The world knew that witches existed, and that they practiced the notorious art of sorcery. Nevertheless, the world did not know anything about the study of magic.

Our story follows a half-man, half-beast mercenary; humans mockingly call his kind the "fallen beasts." He always dreamt of becoming a human, but one day, he met a witch who would change his life forever.

"Do you desire a human form? Then be my escort, mercenary!"

The witch introduced herself as "Zero," and explained that she was searching for a one-of-a-kind magical tome that bandits had stolen from her lair. Entitled "The Book of Zero," the grimoire supposedly contained valuable magical knowledge that could be used to effortlessly bring the world to its knees.

Thus, in order to realize his dream of becoming a human, the mercenary must accompany Zero on her journey—despite her being one of the witches he so loathed.

This is the story of a haughty sorceress and a kindhearted beast.

They showed it on the live stream of the Grand Finale stage. I liked what I saw. Mercenary sounds exactly as I was expecting and recognized some scenes.

Episode 1:

Well this was interesting. Witches exists in this show as part of the story.

We got a non-human character as the male protagonist while Zero is introduced as well. Mercenary is quite a badass imo.

I thought Mercenary and Zero's meeting is hilarious.

Zero is a somewhat interesting character. She has a big appetite but at the same time, she can see through Mercenary's "human face", which kinda interesting as it shows that she has unique abilities as a witch. I think from here, they can develop their relationship further.

Overall, decent start.
I also kinda like Zero/Mercenary's character chemistry with the teasing coming from Zero.

Episode 1

Hell yeah, that was good and refreshing. Love the interactions between Zero and the Mercernary, both of them starting to work together despite being members of enemy sides.

Zero is a miracle of the universe, very interesting character that add some bits of funny moments and information regarding the world.

The animation has some QUALITY moments but nothing that can ruin the enjoyment, at least for now. The designs are great without a doubt. Overall a really good start and a must watch this season.

I enjoyed that more than I expected to. I'm glad they included some background info on the setting and characters quite early (though one or two bits were done clumsily). Helps set up the latter half of the episode better. Pretty nice conversion from the original light novel. So far so good.

If it's not obvious by now, mercenary cat-boy is the "tsundere" one. You'd want to mofumofu him too, right?

ED is really cute

Random Wanderer · 2017-04-10, 12:47

Oho? Off to an interesting start. I'm definitely liking Zero, although with that revelation at the end I have to wonder just how old she is. And how did these people get their hands on her book?

AB079 · 2017-04-10, 13:00

Can anyone please post the ED song? that was lovely as hell.

SeaDoor · 2017-04-10, 13:53

While watching the first episode I kept getting vague memories from another series a looong time ago where the MC had been cursed with a beast's head. Anyone else remember the name of that series?

Liked the first episode, especially the interaction between the beast mercenary and the little witch.
