Tsue to Tsurugi no Wistoria

When humanity was oppressed by mysterious foes known as the Celestial Hosts, five exceptional mages joined forces to defeat them. In fear that these formidable enemies would return, the five most powerful mages, known as the Magia Vander, built a magical dome and a tower to contain them. Since then, the five strongest mages of every generation are tasked with monitoring the dome from the top of the Wizard's Tower.

Inspired by this story, childhood friends Will Serfort and Elfaria Albis Serfort promised each other that they would climb to the top of the Wizard's Tower. However, now a sixth-year student at Regarden Magic Academy, Will's future looks bleak. Although Elfaria managed to join the ranks of the Magia Vander five years prior thanks to her unparalleled magical power, Will has no magical abilities whatsoever, attracting the ire of teachers and students alike.

However, blessed with an exceptional physique, Will is able to slay monsters in the labyrinth and prevail against skilled magicians with the only aid of his sword and a few magical items. Determined to climb the Wizard's Tower at all cost, Will is determined to not let anyone or anything prevent him from keeping the promise he made to Elfaria.

Wistoria Wand and Sword is truely nothing less than a masterpiece. If not for it's intriguing characters and their relationships developments, than for it's amazing way of taking something as old as fiction and creating something so interesting and not exactly new, but rather fresh. The concept that magic is everything in a fantasy world isn't new at all. But I haven't seen anyone else take it into account that how that would affect actual people in this sort of situation. I've found the discrimination against dwarfs aspecially interesting, or more like the difference in how they were treated in comparesent to elfs. The simple ... statement that magic is everything can be used and interpreted in so many different ways is just so amazing to me. I can't recommend this show enough. If you like just fantasy in general you should definetly give this show a watch and even if you don't like magic and fantasy all that much I still think that you'll find something to enjoy in this show

Mixed Feelings

Wistoria: Wand and Sword is best described as a meeting between uninspired concepts and passionate production. Many narrative decisions here stem from derivative shounen formulas and tropes, with an unoriginal outlier main character premise, prejudicial opposition from their powerlessness, and egotistical antagonists turned allies getting their comeuppance. However, the adaptation admittedly has standout animation, great action choreography with creative perspectives, and triumphant and whimsical scores. Some character and plot moments, when paired with these aspects, can be genuinely enjoyable. Moreover, this series does, albeit gradually, improve with establishment in regard to the writing. There is potential with future seasons here with world-building, lore, and storytelling.

Deceptively good animation and narrative at the beginning ensnare you into an anime that's sure to disappoint by the time it concludes. Thus is the story of Wistoria: Wand and Sword. An anime that shows you its potential at the start only to go completely kinetic at the end.

Looking at the world Wistoria presents, its not hard to fall into the trap and lose precious time. The characters and environment both have a sense of ingenuity surrounding them. The academy feels consistent, the characters equally so. Yet, the characters of Wistoria are really nothing special. Look no further than Wistoria's main character; Will Serfort. ... A cookie-cut main character whose presence is apparent in 10's of hundreds of other anime. A determined no-talent who only has his wits and physicality about him. Where have we heard this before? Despite this generic approach, better animation and writing could have perhaps masked the plain nature of this show, but it didn't.

Visually, the first 2 episodes are worth some amount of attention, but anything more than that and you're laying your own bed. Borderline watchable.
4.5/10
