I have very mixed feelings about this season. I don't think it was bad, but I'm also going to put it on record that I think this was the weakest season by far and that's coming from someone that absolutely loved both Season 1 and 2.
Up until Season 3, The Familar of Zero has done a fantastic job with world building and introducing us to a cast of characters that are all in their own right pretty solid. I whole heartedly believe this show doesn't have any bad characters (has yet to watch season 4 so that may be different) - Each episode of Season 1 and 2 felt really interesting to watch. Plot twists here and there that I honestly didn't expect. An example of this being with Agnes and Colbert - when that plot was revealed I was actually shocked. (Trying to avoid spoilers) - The show was a g…

This season continues the steep decline of the [initially] decent story.
The love story between Saito and Louise still has some remnants of that endearing dynamic between a really innocent and feisty adolescent and her loyal and caring companion who is also an adolescent but more mature, however this is ruined due to the constant barrage of sexual situations Saito finds himself in, where he either acts confused instead of stepping away or he directly cheats on her and then acts innocent... Which I kind of understand because Louise at this point has opened up about her feelings yet still refuses to be anything but extremely abusive and crazy. Either way that dynamic, which was one of the few good plot hooks is decimated for good here.
As far as the story goes, the anime has built a rela…

Okay, they are no longer in a war. If you missed the joke, all through the second season I felt like the show went out of it's way to constantly remind us that they were fighting a war. So that's done with now.
There's an attempt to shift the status quo by making Saito a proper nobleman because of his war time heroics. Because he's no longer a commoner the super thirsty queen suddenly thinks that's her cue to horn in on her childhood friend's lover, attempting to use royal justification for seducing him away. It'd be more forgivable if she wasn't just the worst. I'd sooner prefer he get with Siesta than that absolute thot of a queen.
Saito's harem in general seems to be growing every season. He's got the elf girl and Tabitha now chasing after him just as much as Siesta. I still think Zer…

Big expectations after a decent second season and big disappointment after watching Princesses no Rondo caused me to write this review.
Zero no Tsukaima: Princesses no Rondo is probably the most boring season of this anime. After a really enjoyable first two seasons, we are getting the same, repeatable plot, that gets really weird as the season progresses and absolutely no character development. I really liked the Zero no Tsukaima series, because of the characters, but repeating over and over the same behaviors is just frustrating and gives nothing to the plot.
Basically: Louise is still a despotic princess, unhealthy jealous of the Saito, despite everything he did for her - absolutely no character development out there. On the other hand, Saito is still a philanderer. Every possible wo…

Zero no Tsukaima: Princess no Rondo
The Familiar of Zero: Rondo of Princesses
I thought the quality of the series could hardly go down until I saw the third season. And what was my surprise here? I am actually impressed with myself for getting all 12 episodes through.
All seasons were already just below average, but this season was lacking in every area. Although the first two seasons had at least a solid conclusion, this was not the case here. Fan service has been turned up even further than before.
The point that scares me the most are probably the two protagonists at the time. Louise goes through no change and is the same melodramatic crying habit and chews the same thing over and over again. Even if you add sad music to it, the scene doesn't get more emotional. The characters hav…

This review assumes you have seen the first 2 seasons. This review may also reference some content in my reviews of this series. This review will contain spoilers.
The Familiar of Zero: Rondo of Princesses is S3 of this anime. While i got why the 2nd season was called what it was, here? S3 has no right to call itself by the name of Rondo. (A musical note fyi) and doesn't make sense. (Unless there is a hidden meaning like in the names for example) But putting that aside I have to say that is the LEAST of the problems with S3... first let me get this out of the way, this season does some things right, while doing MANY things wrong. Lets start out with what it does right.
1. Louise gets SOME character development (Emphasis on some btw)
2. They brought back Kirche & Tabitha (Charlotte) and…

Alright, I know that what I'm about to say seems to be an unpopular opinion, and I know the top reviews as of today (early November 2020) are really harsh towards this season and say it's worse than its two prequels, but as someone who's more drawn towards the plot+drama aspect of this anime I have to disagree with them.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I liked this more than the previous ones, and most things in this season are better or equal in quality to season 2 (FnK).
It's not perfect. Quite frankly, far from it, but from my personal perspective it's a corrective experience to many things I felt were wrong with this anime.
So, to the details:
STORY (this will be longer than I usually give for a section):
I'll minimize the spoiler for the previous season as much as I can, but I'l…

Full Disclosure: The first two Seasons of Zero no Tsukaima rank among my favorite anime of all time. But this season was a major letdown for me. First of all, the overall story and art maintain the same quality as the last two seasons, but somehow the characters and subplots have gotten considerably worse this season.
What follows is my personal opinion.
Let's start with the good: I liked the inclusion of Joseph, the new villain, what he want isn't clear, but that's the fun part! I have no objections to Tiffania, I like her personality and it becomes soon clear that she has no romantic feelings towards Saito. Her interactions with Saito and Louise are funny and she's a generally likable character, if a bit generic.
The Bad: In all honesty, Louise's treatment of Saito is getting old at…

As a fan of Zero no Tsukaima , i'm quite dissapointed on the third season and that is Zero no Tsukaima: Princesses no Rondo . Why ? No improvement like the last one . Basically it's the same thing like the last two is . Other than the story , everything is the same . Onto the review yeahhh......
Story:8
After the event of Saito , who himself face more than 70 thousand army . After some 'gruesome' battle , he supposed to be dead but nahhh . He was save by a fairy . After that , his rune on his left hand dissapear and that's where the real journey begins . I won't tell much about the story plot because nothing is worth mentioning here .
Art:8
Like the other two seasons , same arts and animations . Does have some 3D animation which is kind of cool . Have some beautiful arts . And yet again…

Terrible tsundere and magical mishaps season 3. Have you ever had the feeling where you should have stopped a long time ago but you didn't and came crashing down from your peak? This is that crash.
The story for the first half seems to throw out the window what was learnt in previous seasons and go on its own trail for the good of doing nothing more than adding a new face to the already horrific harem. It does however have an evil working in the background that has been doing so for longer than the viewers realize and only now comes to light. More so even though the play of this series, it seems the villain isn't played out to their full game yet so they just filled in the rest of the season with more quickly blown over conflicts, cleverly concealed in what seems like a multi episode situ…

I have read a lot of reviews saying they didn't like this season as much as the previous but I loved it. Season 1 they met and liked each other. Season 2 they fell in love and finally admitted it. Season 3 is all about their relationship and how it grows. I really liked how the focus shifted from the secondary characters back to the main. Sadly, Season 4 is the end of the show but I am excited to see how it all works out. This tale of love and comedy is the reason I gave this genre a chance and after watching this series I'm glad I did.

This is a story where there are two worlds,one is the world of normal humans and the other one's the world of magicians. A girl named Louise living in the world of magicians summoned a familiar (a pet) from the world of normal humans called Saito, by living together for long time they fell in love and bla bla bla...I think the some of this anime is copied from Harry Potter.
If you watch this anime, all you will get is a short tempered girl like one from Taradora and a foolish boy. Their words didn't go any further, from season 1 to season 3, all you will see is Louise get jealous when she finds that Saito thinks about another girl. What a boring story -.-. Actually there's just one thing I loved about this anime that is the fairy Tiffany and her voice ( same voice as Himegami Aisa, Ichino…

Well, this review is filled with haterism, I tell you in advance, I absolutely LOVE Zero no Tsukaima, but the anime adaptation is pure shit, it's an insult to the original work, the light novels written by Yamaguchi Nobura.
I won't enter in much details, I'll only say that the story is invented, they're not adapt nothing of the novel, well, a bit maybe, but the whooooooooole anime of ZnT can be described in one word: Fanservice. Yeah, Fanservice, that and an invented story, and invented personality for the characters (Saito is my favourite main character! And in the anime he's just a fool boy! In the light novel he's a boy who fights for what he cares about, and have an adult mentality, in the anime he's just a fool teenager who loves to be surrounded by girls, how pathetic)
I will only…

Harem oriented anime have always been about a bunch of girls getting off on either one guy or few of them. The formula still remains same in Zero no Tsukaima series with also some action packed scenario.
What I liked about Zero no Tsukaima is the light-hearted mood it took, lots of indecent jokes and just the hilarity of its own stupidity. However, the third season of the series went just too far ... with everything.
[STORY] 4
- Probably the worst story in the series is really explained in only later 4-5 episodes whilst the others are mainly fillers or some pretty unnecessary stuff. The thing about the story is that ... it's plain ridiculous, predictable and pretty annoying at the times. I won't talk much about it in fear that I might spoil something, but regardless, if you're a guy/gi…

Honestly I was a little disappointed with this season, a lot of good ideas were put into it but there were so many it seems they rushed through them like saito's rune disapearring, tabitha's rescue, and the end with the square golem. I'd rather see them make more seasons and extend everything than smashing it into one, still I can't complain, it is ZnT still laughed a lot, and had fun watching it. I don't want to be one of those people who complains about everything wrong with an anime though so I will tell you this is still a must watch, very funny, much is revealed, a few suprises, louise is starting to act more mature and see whats important, and louise and saito's relationship has some advancement where she's learning to trust him more. If the pattern I'm seeing is correct than season…

For me the third season of Zero no Tsukaima wasn't anything special.
I loved both season 1 and 2, but the season was disappointing.
The amount of girls that has joined Saito's harem has gotten out of controll. And it is frustrating watching.
Something that disappointed me most was that J.C. Staff seemed to be focusing on fan-service and the story didn't progress as much as it should done. And the story was very repetetiv.
And the end of this season was far as saticfying as the two first season. If you love fan-service and some lesbian action you should enjoy this, but if you are like me that only gets embarrassed watching fan-service then this should be a problem.

I don't care how well a formula works, when it's repeated three times with no changes, it screws over suspension of disbelief. Although enjoyable with some fist-pumping moments, the third season is definitely a letdown from the previous seasons and I hope they make a fourth season just to repent for the mess they created here. I will start out with the small stuff because I want to save the story until the end.
Art is the same as the last two seasons, it's nicely rounded out, and for being a cute/ecchi anime, the fighting scenes are better than expected, giving it a score of 7.
I've always really liked the Zero no Tsukaima soundtrack and music cues, so although nothing but the OP/ED changes, I will give it a 9.
Story was weird - I mean, it's built around the characters' backgrounds, sur…

Zero no Tsukaima is back for a third season with the so-called Princess no Rondo (translates to Rondo of the Princesses, for the curious ones) and I have to say that things haven’t changed too much. The first season was pretty good, the second one didn’t disappoint either (although season one was much better) and I’m somewhat happy to say that season three is pretty good too. “Pretty good” meaning that it won’t disappoint those who know what to expect – the fans of the series. Yes, Louise’s tsundere charm is still there and yes, Saito continues to get into seemingly perverse situations with other girls, which makes Louise go gaga and punish him with her infamous whip.
The joke may be old, but it’s still as funny as it was the first day. Hell, maybe even funnier! How is that possible, you…

i think that the writers had run out of idea's for this because there were to many unexplored areas of story yet should be filled out. more could of been added i dont think that this should of ended the way it did. i have a strong feeling that there wont be a season4 people say the mangas not fininshed but i dont read manga so =( this series was one of the best in all the harems i watched even though most of the stupid things everyone did in this series was more of comady. there were some romance in this series but kinda dull. only in the end will u cry and say wtf this was so good make another. i should tell u to watch this anime starting from season1 and if u still dont get it i would insist u watch it 2ce. honestly ill give this series a 10/10 bc it is one like no other and i feel very…

The following is true for all three seasons of Zero no Tsukaima. Overall there are over a million points to complain about, yet it was simply too much fun too watch xD. This review should be quite spoilerless, except for the very last line (which is a relatively small spoiler).
==Story 7/10==
The Story is quite straightforward up the point of sometimes even being downright childish. At some points during the series this can slightly distract from the story itself, however there is an overall plot binding everything together enough for it be worth more than just a 6. Still I would definitely not advise anybody to watch it for any in-depth plot development.
==Art 6/10==
The art is fairly good in general, but at quite a number of points during the series cartoon like art is used (not sure a…
