Fuu reminds me of Anthy from Shoujo Kakumei Utena.

I liked this episode. I like how obvious it is that it's an old anime, but it's good nevertheless.

Mokona totally looked like a Pokémon. and the scene when Hikaru wants to give the candy instead of money just made my heart melt. So cute!

I like this anime already even if it's made for younger children. :)

When Hikaru couldn't cast her spell, the monster headtilted so hard, its head went full circle.

Studio Shaft got nothing on this.

That poor tablecloth.

Pretty boring episode. I see how this series is so long... dragging out their quest like this. It's going to take a long time for them to power-up and get back to the main plot. Not really in the mood for that kind of thing. (dropped)

Wow this is really RPG-y. "Gather materials so I can make weapons for you!"

I think I like Hikaru the best. She has good intentions :)

Promising story overall, but something is bugging me about it. It seems a little too comedic. But maybe it'll end up working out like Akatsuki no Yona.

How Hikaru tried to give the woman a candy as payment was hilarious. I like her the most at this point.

Now off to find materials. Do you accept the quest?

It would've been nice if Presea explained a bit better why they had to go alone to gather the ore. Letting them wander out alone seems needlessly dangerous, and it would have been a lot more simple had there already been some of that ore gathered.

Another so-so episode.

Yep this show's a winner for me so far. I like the main 3 characters and the whole 90's fantasy RPG vibe is just great. Crossing that with Magical Girls, Person's in a strange world and eventually Mecha apparently is just a mishmash of alot of what I love in classic shows.

Also this damn Discotek Media Blu Ray release is beautiful

I know we've got the nerd, the jock, and the prep, but in terms of actually doing anything, this show is looking like Hikaru-chan And Two Background Characters.

In the island of silence you can not use magic, but when choosing the weapons, they used a power, alias the weapons had an aura until it reached the hands of the girls, a hole in the script shit that spoiled the whole experience, dropped

One of the the things I already really like about this anime is the soundtrack. It really does sound like something you'd find in a fantasy series so props to those who worked on the music.

The chibi scenes do come off a little out of place, but this isn't the darkest fantasy out there so it's not that big of an issue. Hikaru is definitely the one who's most enthusiastic about being a Magic Knight

This is rather captivating. I enjoyed the battle with the mud monster, though I am ready to see everyone hurry up and start developing their abilities some more. I like the old school JRPG vibes, but as an avid player of such things the grinding needs to start. Get OP, save the world!

Seems they have to go on a fetch-quest... the weapon thing was too convenient, I tought they could'nt use magic.

On the good side, it's pretty entertaining and the main characters are likeable. I hope they dial back on the humor and develop the protags more.

It truly feels like a RPG but it feels it lacks charm and this world feels so empty. Hikaru did the heroine thing perfectly, hoping the other two get to improve in that department.
This Presea lady could've give them more information instead of being with the "oh my, I'm so worried about them" expression.

Watching an anime that was released on my birthday's year! So nostalgic. Probably if I had watched on my childhood I would love it! Today is just nice and nostalgic, but I can see the valor of this anime! Let's go!
