Mahoutsukai no Yakusoku

On her way home, kindhearted high school student Akira Masaki is whisked away to another world full of magic. Those who can wield it are called wizards, and some are chosen to fight against the Great Calamity annually. Although battling the catastrophe was manageable in the past, it has become so powerful that it has claimed many lives.

In the midst of all the chaos, the Great Sage has the power to guide the chosen wizards in the combat against the Great Calamity—a role that has been ed to Akira. Even though the girl desires to return home, she agrees to stay with the surviving wizards and help them find their new comrades scattered across five countries. Akira must now convince them to the cause and lead the group against the imminent evil.

For those who might be interested in promise of wizard I say go for it! Please give it a chance. I didn't think I was going to like it, but once I saw the pv I was all in. I can't tell you anything about the game since I've never played it before but I can say it's a very magical anime. Yes it's slow in the beginning but it picks up quick! The animation is beautiful and there is humor as well and I promise you it focuses on the wizards. I do wish they could've made it 14 episodes but I think that's ... fine. It gives me hope there'll be a second season.

If you're into magic, wizard, fantasy type anime then promise of wizard is your show. Please, please give a chance!

Mixed Feelings

On the technical side, it's a complete failure. Slideshow instead of normal animation, voice acting is much worse than in the game (HOW did they do it??), directing is just terrible, and even the matter of inserting rather long thoughts of the main character for 1 second in text. I'm a big fan of Hanamori Yumiri, but she sounds really weird here, like she was given instructions to sound like Hayami Saori or something like that. This opening is probably the worst, featureless, and laziest thing I've seen in the history of anime. Mili has adorable songs, but this one specifically is too quiet, and ... the visuals don't help at all. If they just used the song 1 or 2 chapters of the story from the game would have been a hundred times better. Of course with different visuals and a different studio.

It's very sad to see such a poor, even shameful adaptation of a very good story with deep characters from Bunta-sensei. There was just so much potential if the staff had been more competent and understood the original work. Why Aru Majo ga Shinu Made (theme, atmosphere and budget are similar) was able to invite Kajiura Yuki sensei and Mahoyaku chose a composer from yarichin makes no sense.

As someone who has read the entire main story in the game and more than half of the events, I VERY much recommend that anyone who reads this instead of watching this horror go read the game itself or find a translation (you'll find it on Twitter if you search). I promise you that it will be 100 times more dynamic than the anime, better effects and voice acting (the main story and some of the events are fully voiced) and naturally the story and characters are very good. As a Fate fan, I'd say it's close in of depth of writing. But unfortunately the poor adaptation made absolutely no attempt to show this competently.

4 score just for respecting the original story. And I advise the game company to be budget more wisely and finally release a sequel to the main story after almost two years.

Promise of Wizard was beyond garbage. Trash story, stupid flashes of paragraphs displayed for literally 1/4 a second or less - sometimes like 2-4 in quick succession, a MC that's completely ive and literally cannot think for herself with no powers, using only directly what people tell her to do and the extent of her "thinking" is reading what someone else wrote in a book. Never connecting any dots, never doing anything herself. I had it at 4/10 in the beginning but after finishing it honestly it's more like a 1/10. There's not really anything redeemable about it.

I'm not even sure who this is for. ... At face value it looks like an otome where it's a girl surrounded by a bunch of pretty boys. Though the MC is such a blank slate and never advances beyond that and there's not even the MC getting to know the characters well alone romance them that it almost ends up more like a boys love except even that doesn't happen. And the story was so painfully predictable that it was just annoying that literally none of them could figure out any of what was going on even after reveal after reveal.

A story with a totally braindead cast for literally no one.

Give this one a hard . I tend to love even trash isekai but this one is just bad on a fundamental level.
