[Anime Review] Zero No Tsukaima

Zero No Tsukaima

"Fun anime, good theme (its been a while since the last magical theme I watched)"-bezoe

Meet Louise, a budding magician. The students at the Tristein Academy call her "Zero Louise", due to her current record of zero successes with magic. In fact, her magic tends to go spectacularly wrong. Now, as an important test of her aptitude for magic, she must summon a familiar to be her servant. At this critical moment, she summons up all her magic and wishes for a familiar that is "devoted, beautiful and powerful", and gets... Hiraga Saito, an ordinary Japanese boy. It's difficult to say who is more surprised and dismayed, but the rules don't allow for second attempts. Louise is stuck with her strange familiar, and he with her.

Zero No Tsukaima, its a fun magical comedy themed anime. The story line it self actually pretty simple but its pretty enjoyable. Unfortunately the ending I feel it felt short, I hope the second season will be better in the story line (will watch second seasons after reviewing this)

Characters, Tabitha Orleans is my favorite character, the coolnest in this girl is beyond imagination (it reminds me of Yuki Nagato). Guiche Gramont I think also a pretty interesting guy, a 24/7 playboy. As for the main character (Louise) as usual... a irritated-loli girl (same like Toradora)

Animation wise is not awesome, I noticed some of the part they just draw it like they don't care about the quality (one thing that I really noticed is at the last episode where Saito riding a horse, the horse just look terrible)

Graphically, this anime was ok, its not the greatest and also its not the worst. a small things that I still wondering is probably about the water goddess... is it only me or its look like Kos-Mos from Xenosaga?

OP and ED both are so so, actually I prefer some of the bgm during the anime.

Bottomline : I enjoy the anime, its not a boring anime but I still can't find the awesomeness of Zero No Tsukaima yet.

Overall Rating : A--

Favorite Characters
#1. Tabitha Orleans (I found it 100% Yuki Nagato look-a-like)






















#2. Siesta
(If I have a cosplay maid like this............)

#3. Kirche Zerbst (hot!)

#4. Louise Françoise de la Baume le Blanc de la Vallière (well, she's the main character after all.. so she needs to be on the list.... right?)
