-Story
The “serious” part of the story felt the most moronic part somehow. Half of the time the “round table” hags purpose and what they were doing felt just pointless and questionable, the “big villain” purpose and existence was the same. Most plot elements felt like “premises/themes” for general gist/idea but without actual story. So as far as serious plot points went, they were pretty bad.
But the cute girls doing cute stuff, their school life drama and character interactions story tel…

This anime is the best combination of CGDCT and action. It doesn't have perfect graphics, but the story is amazing. I bought the light novel! It is my favourite! It is a perfect combination of moe and action.
You will how the protagonist enters the magic world. Don't forget watching the specials. Originally they were episodes 11 and 12. I had to wait 1 year to see the end of storie.
Maybe one more volume can be released. I send a message for one of responsibles and he said the volume 4 is not the end. We must wait. Storyworks is one of authors.

I didn't know what to expect going in with an anime rated average of 5.39, but I really don't think it deserves to be this low. People are just too pissy and appear to have unnecessarily high expectations.
Starting with episode 1, I was pleasantly surprised with how they designed the main character and the direction the story seemed to be heading in. From then on out I knew this anime was definitely underrated by people.
The episodes were very fun to watch and the story is overall light and enjoyable. There's no hard topics or a lot of drama so it's a perfect little anime to watch to have some fun.
Overall, don't listen to people or watch the reviews. In fact, why are you reading this? Watch anime and make your own calls instead of relying on people's info!

The things Marchen Madchen actually got wonderfully right
I swear this is a review but I first have to start off with a bit of background of this anime since I believe people are a bit too harsh in their mocking of this show.
While 2018 brought us some terribly animated anime such as the likes of My Sister My Writer and Master of Ragnorok, Marchen Madchen became known as the biggest disaster of the year and is likely set to become the next metaphorical warning pillar of how badly things can go during anime production since the Beserk remakes. The show's suffering is fairly well-documented thanks to no small effort by the likes of anime news sites and industry reporters like SakugaBlog who have written a great piece on Madchen Marchen and the larger allusion to some of the unsustainable…

The time I watched Märchen Mädchen was when I felt that there was no good anime elsewhere because they are all (well, a lot of them I meant) are mediocre at best. Boy was I right. This anime wasn't particularly dreadful, the art was ok, and the soundtrack was tolerable. But the story and the characters were just so plain and so boring! I'm surprised that I managed to finish all 10 episodes in actuality. I didn't have a care for the main character (I even forgot her name, wow) and I didn't have a care for any of her relationships with the supporting characters. I kinda did like the whole book idea and that everyone had their own little cute outfits from those books. But when we found out that the main character had one of the "special~" versions of the book I literally face palmed and said…

So the thing with this anime is that it started off pretty strong, but at about the 9th or 10th episode, it became really mundane and boring. The original charm the show had, that magical feeling art style it had, was just lost. The premise of the show is pretty cool and original. Girls using books about fairy tales to cast magic, who wouldn't like that? But the execution is just terrible and the impressive animation it had at the beginning is just gone. I would suggest to not watch this anime because you could become too attached to these characters and just wind up disappointed. Overall, I give it a 4/10.

It's not a bad anime but it's not an excepcional either. It's a pretty much clichê anime but despite that it's still interesting.
The MC is strong but not strong as in "I can kick every one's arses" but in a loving way, treating other people's wounds as we could see on the latest episode (episode 7).
It's a funny anime with cute girls. despite missing a bit of actual story, it's a good anime to watch while it's releasing.
It's just sad that the team behind this anime gave up on the idea. They took a two or three week break in order to improve animation (since a lot of the episodes had really bad drawings) that resulted in no improvements and, a week after that, they totally shut down the anime, which killed the entire story. This anime as no ending, leaving us, the weebs, to imagine wha…

I'll cut this short, just like the anime was.
I started watching this by accident. I downloaded an episode of another anime, but the site made some mistake and I got the first episode of this anime instead. I watched it and was hooked from the first episode.
This show had a very original take to this kind of story, and the protagonist is also really interesting. Since you probably have an idea of what it is, I'll skip over that part.
Overall, this anime was really good, but it had some problems down the line and the 12 episodes it should have had got cut to 10. And let's not talk about episode 9's animation.
If I had to say, I recomend everyone give this a go and, if you enjoy it, maybe look at the Light Novel (I know I will).
If, let's say, it was anounced that the studio would remake the…

Jiggly jiggly heaven in real life!
The show that literally melted!
There is a lot that can be said about Madchen Madchens decline in quality to episode 9 where after a two week break it came out with animation that rivaled Animegataris' club's animation. It was disappointing and memed on by about everyone. And it makes sense. That episode was terrible.
But the show isn't just that episode. In fact the rest of the show is quite good and it's unfortunate that this episode will now overtime the good parts of the show with it's infamy.
Yes, there were lackluster parts to the show like the edgy subplot that didn't fit in well or the plot in general which wasn't the greatest. But there was also a lot of good. Hazuki was able to gain confidence, friends, and did grow over the course of the se…
