Zero no Tsukaima

!Spoilers but you will need to read this b4 you watch 100%! OK, so i could write a complicated review about why i disliked this so much, but im to lazy to do that so here it goes Story: Fk of Dude gets pulled out of some dimensional arse, and is just told to deal with it. AND HE FKING DOES. Well ok, but then he becomes the servant of some little bitch, AND HE AGAIN SEEMS TO BE OK WITH IT. And she treats him like an animal, not a human for some odd reason i cant wrap my mind around. Then there's all of a sudden this Void magic, and MC is apparently the familiar of the only void mage ever, even though he just got pulled out of the arse. But they apparently think we wouldn't realize. Its so dumb that it hurts. The most original part of this was either the slut or the pedo tbh. Art: The only good looking character is the red haired Slutty chick, so that's that but not so bad i guess. Sound: I wanted to kill myself after hearing the dub, so i went sub. BUT I GOT FKING SURPRISED WHEN THAT WAS EVEN WORSE. The bitch sounds like a 4th grader who has parents with more money then fking Justin Biber.(and she sounds like a fan of him) aka garbage get out of my face. Character:Ok, wtf. It was so fking hard to watch after like ep 8 and i kinda began to hate it... Mostly because of the Bitch, and the MC. Mc clearly loves the flat chested bitch for some odd reason, even though he has someone like fking Siesta and that just pissed me of so god damn much. He's a fiking pussy for not fking that red haired hot chick, who actually was nice to him and offered it multiple times. Then they at the end get a fking moment and he forgets that he wanted to fking leave. Like cmon. And why i didn't just run away from such a dumb bitch is beyond me tbh. He like, legit just got pulled out of his everyday life by some bitch and he accepts it. jesus fk i hate him. Then there's the ungrateful bitch who takes MC for granted and legit abuses him daily. MC puts up with her bs and does not give a fk, which also blows my mind. She loves him aswell obviously but shes still a stuck up little bitch against him. She legit makes him sleep on the fking floor, like are you dumb he has saved you multiple times and is a OG badass(and pussy) but you treat him like garbage. Fk of ya dumb cunt. Enjoyment: I enjoyed watching hentai more then this, not just pleasure but all around liked. Overall: Suck my dick, i wanna die.

Hello everyone Shawn aka TheKazeTrigger here and welcome too, my next MVM Entertainment anime review. This time I will be reviewing the anime The Familiar of Zero. Now unlike my Shakugan no Shana review where I reviewed all the seasons I will be only be reviewing the first season of The Familiar of Zero. Why you may ask well one I only own the first season of The Familiar of Zero on DVD and secondly at this time of the review I have no interest of watching and reviewing its squeals and from what I been told from my mates told that the squeals for The Familiar of Zero are not that good. Now The Familiar of Zero are quite a polarising series because I see people whom love the series or downright hate it with the burning passion. What do I think of The Familiar Of Zero? Well let’s find out shall we. Story. thumb-1920-128765 The story of The Familiar Of Zero are set in a magic school called Tristen Magic Academy where my main heroine Louise are a second year student their. Sadly, for Louise her studies in spell casting are not good at all and all of her attempts at magic end up backfiring in an explosive manner which has earned her the nickname “Louise the Zero.” Too, add insult too, injury in her latest failure in the mystical arts occurred during the familiar summoning ceremony were sorcerers age expected too, call forth an animal companion. Instead of summoning something great like a Dragon or a bear, Louise summons up a teenage boy from Tokyo named Saito and from their the relationship with Louise and Saito beings. Personally I found the story of the Familiar of Zero too, be pretty enjoyable for the most. Sure it kinda cliched at times but for what it are its enjoyable too, watch. Also the comedy of the Familiar of Zero can be a hit or miss for some but for me the comedy are enjoyable too, some degree but the gag about Saito having too, washing her panties gets really annoying as the season progresses. As for the World Building it’s actually quite good. It does a good job exploring the magic aspects, beasts and society of the Tristen Magic Academy. Lastly the pacing for this season are good and it really help the season because not only this are more of a character driven series but it also builds up too something in the last couple of episodes of the first season. Overall the story are decent but enjoyable. 6/10 Characters. Now I been told from my mates that Lousie are the worst tsundere girl and too, be honest she’s not that bad. Sure at times she can be annoying with her abuse behaviour too, Saito and also she are loud and whinny but for the most part she’s a meh character overall. I can definitely see people hate her but as for me I found her too, be tolerable at best. Next we have are Saito whom are you typical generic ecchi shounen, brave, protective and never wanting too, give up. I have nothing else too, say about him because that’s what he literally does in this anime. He’s a generic character whom does generic things. The rest of the character cast are also generic ecchi characters whom also do generic ecchi things. But hey least they enjoyable too, watch unlike the cast of Love Hina. In short this character cast are nothing but generic. 5/10 Art/Animation. Visually The Familiar of Zero are decent with a standard looking world and character deigns. Sure theyre are some good actions scenes every now and then but the most part the art and animation are standard tier expect for the fights. 6/10 Sound. The soundtrack for the Familiar of Zero are actually good and it really fits with the mood and atmosphere of the anime. It’s honestly the best thing about this whole anime in my opinion. We got some great tracks such as Good Friends, Louise's theme, Gandaaruvu, Seiso, Hajirai and those tracks alone made this anime more enjoyable. The opening are great and very catchy and the ending theme are cute but are not that catchy. Now for Sub or Dub. The dub are honestly mediocre and all of the voice actors did a decent too, mediocre performance on the roles. As for the sub. Rie Kugimiya as Louise was great and it was easily the best performance from this anime. As for the others are fairly standard. If you planning too, watch The Familiar of Zero. Go with the sub because the squeals don’t have a dub opinion at all. 8/10 Final Thoughts. The Familiar of Zero are a generic but enjoyable time-waster series if you have nothing too, watch. The story was meh, character are mediocre too, decent, art/animation are decent, a nice soundtrack and the dub are okay. Personally I don’t think this show are that bad or great too, be honest because this show are just decent and harmless. Only buy The Familiar of Zero on a sale because buying the Familiar of Zero brand new on blu ray. along with its squeals are like buying Assassin’s Creed Unity Notre Dame Edition on launch. It’s totally not worth it too, be honest. I currently own this on DVD and I brought it for £5 which are the most appropriate price for the series for this. I give Familiar of Zero a 6/10 (It’s your everyday generic ecchi series that are enjoyable too, watch if you have nothing too, watch at all) The Familiar Of Zero are available from MVM Entertainment in the UK and they currently licensed all four seasons on DVD and Blu Ray. Anime recommendations Shakugan No Shana KonoSuba Toradora Dog Days Slayers Hayate The Combat Butler Rokka no Yuusha For my next MVM Entertainment anime review I will be doing a straw poll of what anime you guys want me too review and if that anime wins I will review that anime. Please stay tune for that. Alternatively you can visit my profile and go too my straw poll link and you can vote from they're. Anyway this was Shawn aka TheKazeTrigger and I will see you guys next time.

Is this anime worth your time? Most likely Anime is a way of expressing a story, which is what it was mainly invented for. This anime does a good job of doing it. Story - 8 The story of Zero no Tsukaima is pretty complex, yet simple to take in. There a lot of stuff being set up such as a slowly changing sky, which I didn't even notice was changing until it had importance. Our main character as the synopsis says, Saito cannot return to the real world, so he's stuck with whatever occurs throughout the anime without being able to do anything until he accepts the fact that he can't go back and embraces where he is now. I would call one of these stories a 'passive' story, as things just occur with the main character just reacting with what happens. With a 'passive' story, the anime would rather be dull. However, with several plot twists that occur, all I can say is, "Wow, I had a bad feeling that would happen". Some of the plot twists are a bit obvious, while others are very, very slight. This is how you keep a viewer interested, by keeping them engaged, trying to figure out the story. Art/Animation - 8 Although this was made in 2006, the art is fantastic. I thought I'd be annoyed with the old school 'huge shine on eye thingy', but it never really bothered me as it actually personified them. No real issues here, nothing too fancy either. Just some simple fire, water and such. As for animation, I'd say it's above average. As for animation, there's nothing fancy here either. Just enough animating to make sense of what's happening. Not very good fighting choreography, however, but you can really feel the power of attacks sometimes. Sound/Music - 9 I really enjoyed the background music of this anime. It added so much light/dark to the anime where it was needed. As for sound effect, all were fine and sounded realist enough for me to give to an A. But again, how can we call magic sounds realistic? The sounds just 'work' for the occasion, sounding strong when it's strong, and weak when it's weak. Characters - 7 There IS a HARDCORE TSUNDERE character in here. There's a reason as to why she's tsundere, unlike some anime... Please don't drop animes because a character has 'this trait'. It ruins a lot of good animes out there, including this one. The characters are pretty consistant, but my main problem here is that there isn't a good amount of background information given for the main protagonists, but they give a big background check of a side character. Perhaps she has importance later on, or she's just a filler arc for the anime. We may never know, but this opens up more story telling later on in the episode/series. This might be just me, but I like to get intimate with with main characters to try to relate to them more (no, not that intimate). Enjoyment - 8 I watched this series straight, with breaks to get food, go to the bathroom, and stretch. I wasn't on my toes while watching, but I was always watching, trying to understand characters, origins, and purposes. I was never bored while watching this anime, since each episode presents something fresh and a presentable pace. Overall - 8 I liked this anime, and I definitely wouldn't say I hated it. If you've ever seen Shakugan no Shana, then you'll probably enjoy this anime. I actually never liked Shakugan no Shana, but there's something about this one that makes it a lot more enjoyable. It probably has something to do with the relations the main characters have and the two worlds.

Like mixing Harry Potter and harem anime! Zero no Tsukaima is set in a world where you are either a lord and have magical powers, or you are a peasant with no powers and must serve the lords. During a ceremony where the lords conjure up a pet for life (normally an animal), Louise conjures up a human boy from Japan named Saito. She treats him like dirt, and forces him to wash her clothes. How will Saito survive in this new world? The art is very poor in this anime, and at first the jokes are really lame. But if you can get past the first episode the storyline develops into something that is well worth it. P.S. If you do decide to watch this series, just know that the next 3 seasons were not dubbed due to it not selling well in English. There are subs and the series completes with the 4th season.

Well for starters let me just say that I've just recently gotten into watching anime. As a 17 year old boy, I never really figured that this show would appeal to me. In fact, when I listed the few that I had watched and liked people tried to dissuade me from this genre. I ended up watching it after marathon watching TTGL and Code Geass for the first time, and then feeling really depressed at the end of both of them. I wanted something silly yet enjoyable and I figured I would give this a try. At the beginning of season one I was like... lame. I can't stand Harry Potter (bear with me, I'm not saying its a Harry Potter knock off), so I was kind of put off by the whole magic school thing. But I stuck through it and ended up watching the whole first season in two sittings. After the first few episodes the characters start to develop a little more, as well as the story. By the end of season one I was watching it for the story more than the comedy. Definitely worth watching, no matter what genre you're into. If you can stomach the beginning you'll start to fall for it, I guarantee it. And if not, hey, you never know until you try.

Having watched through all four seasons, I now feel like I have the right to write a review for someone who may be considering picking this anime up for the first time. I'm not the most experienced anime watcher, so I won't split this anime into all the sections I have been asked to rate but will more give a quick overview and explain why I liked it. If I had to describe this anime in a word, I would use the word "Simple." It doesn't have particularly long running arcs or major plots or complex twists and turns. It doesn't make you think in depth about what could happen next as it's relatively predictable and it certainly does not have a complicated romance plot. However, it's light hearted, easy to follow, enjoyable to watch and it made me smile through it. So if you are looking for something fun to watch on a rainy day to pick you up, it's worth a shot.

Zero No Tsukaima is, in my opinion, a good anime i'd recommend to people who like watching adventure animes with romance,magic and comedy in it (like inuyasha). I'd say there are some scenes which are a bit perverted and are rated, but that's what an ecchi anime is, right? Story: A wizard named Louise Francoise Blanc de La Valliere isn't exactly your average wizard. She is lousy at performing spells and when she attempts to conjure one, something ends up exploding. During a sacred school ritual where she is supposed to summon her lifetime companion and protector called a familiar, she ends up summoning a Japanese human,Saito. In the end, Louise is stuck with Saito whether she likes it or not and vice versa. I'd say the story is a common one. The main protagonist who is supposed to be someone "special" is a failure at being so, yet later on, you get to know that actually, she's got lots of potential and is stronger than most of the othersl. After all, she's the protagonist and protagonists are always heroes, right? The boy (Saito), being a protagonist, has somehow got to have a role,too and has therefore also an awesome power. Both of them fall in love yet there is always the third wheel so it becomes a love triangle.. same old,same old... But i still give it a 7, because the story develops fast and there are some unexpected twists as it goes along. Animation: I find this anime's animation good; i like the way the characters are drawn, and the backgrounds and surroundings are spectacularly done,too. (for me) Sound: Its sound is ok, the openings and endings i enjoy, and the sound effects during the anime have a good-timing; not an overkilll, but the anime doesn't lack sound effects either. Character: I like Louise's personality a lot: strong, confident and sometimes stubborn. Her character development is good... But what i think lacks is Saito's personality.. i mean, she treats him like a pet, yet he lives with it..? it would've been better if he'd at least disobey her a bit.. you'll see what i mean after watching some episodes. Enjoyment: i enjoyed this anime a lot, it's one of those animes where you can just kick back and relax, while trying to control yourself not to hit the tv when something exciting happens. Overall: I think this anime deserves 8 points overall; the two points i don't give it are due to the lack of the story's originality... don't get me wrong, the story's very good, but it's kind of predictable... that's the only problem. I'd recommend this anime to anyone who is a fan of adventurous,funny with a romantic feel animes..

STATUS FILE:[ imgur.com/m0PvQNw.png ] OTHER STATUS AT BOTTOM THIS IS A REVIEW OF ALL 4 SEASONS: ZnT, FnK, PnR + F. STORY The story starts in Hogwarts with a young witch named Louise. There is a ceremony being held for the students to summon their 'familiar' who will stay with them as their servant for the rest of their lives. All the other students have already summoned their's, ranging from fire salamander to a giant diglet. However, when Louise, who is renowned for being shit at magic, tries she summons a fricking human. Even so, everyone seems to thin this is the short straw and Louise is not impressed, which doesn't make sense since he is by far the most useful out of any of them. Anyone, for the rest of the anime Louise and her familiar (Saito) go on a load of wacky adventures with elves, dragons, airships and loads of BDSM. After fucking around and saving the world once or twice the story just ends. Without closure on just about anything except that Louise is most definitely a sadistic freak. SPOILERS[Remember that fucking ring thing with the water fairy? Yeah, so do I, but the authors didn't] However, there is a possible reason for not many people shitting all over this anime too much. The original LN author, Noboru Yamaguchi, died before writing the last two books, leaving his kouhai too attempt to finish things up. And so I guess this time it can be forgiven, as at least Saito x Louise got pretty much canon, but then again, it was from about episode 6 (out of 50). Another, important plot point is the violence shown. Us anime viewers are well accustomed to people being shot, cut in half, and killed in many ways. However, for whatever reason I, and many other viewers, found some of the stuff in ZnT hard to watch. And it wasn't the actual fight scenes, as they were very toned down, but the sheer amount of tsundere-induced domestic violence, Saito is subject to intense uncensored whipping sessions which he doesn't even seem to mind all that much. However he does get Louise back by performing the most dramatic male bitch slaps ever to come out of anime. [youtu.be/5-ncqu5rYcY?t=25s] Glorious. The cast is as big as you'd expect from a 4 season anime, the main character is Saito, who I'd rank slightly higher than your average MC, but still incredibly flawed. But he can fly a fighter plane so that's cool. Louise is the main heroine and love interest, who is an A class tsundere, and extreme caution should be taken when in the range of her whip. Saito also acquires a respectable harem, including the maid Siesta; dandere Tabitha; literal slut Kirche, oppai-elf Tiffania and Henrietta, the queen of the entire country. There are a load of others, but honourable mention to Jean-sensei, who was the best character up to and including 'the event with him as the main part of it'. Afterwards he is just as shit as most of them. The plot was decent, however cannot be enjoyed by anyone who remembers anything before two episodes ago or has any interest in world lore or continuity in general. Also (very) decent fanservice. PRODUCTION This show is a very JC-style one, with that showing in the animation. A standard, unchanging reasonable quality, albeit with slightly dodgy looking action scenes. Not much to say on animation though, it was decent but nothing special by any means. The OST consisted of four OPs, all of which very nice. The EDs were of a higher quality than your average, with ED2, 'Suki Kirai! Suki!!!', being the best Sound Track of them all. The total track size is relatively small, but not noticeably. CONCLUSION If you like long romances, vanilla fantasy and tsunderes or you just enjoy yourself a good bit of BDSM, then watch it, if not then don't force yourself too. Just watching the first season is cool too, as it wraps up pretty nicely in and of itself. If you've seen similar shounen JC Staff shows like Shakugan no Shana or Railgun, then its on the same street as those. Maybe if the author decides to make like [CENSORED] and pull some bullshit 'not dead' shit then he could Saito bitch slap that faggot who fucked up the ending. Rest in Peace.

This anime is all about RAPE. Why? Well, we have guy from Japan, named Saito who is summoned by magical girl from other world, as familiar spirit. When all other mages summons dragons, salamanders, cats, she summoned plebeian like him. Also our magical girl Louise is called "Zero Louise", cause she ruin all, even most simple spell. But of course what happens? Lots of gags, misunderstandings and more, more event that make you roll on the floor from laugh. But unfortunately, it's all in 13 chapters, so it's quite short. Producers could make one longer season than make more of them. But still if you like "magic", "comedy" and "tits" it's something for you. Even if you don't like it, still watch it. It's worth it.

Zero no Tsukaima is a very enjoyable anime series that was well worth the time to put into. It's one of those animes that had a lot to tell in 49 episodes, not rushed like some animes that only have 20+ episodes, sometimes leaving viewers in dismay of how short a good show could be. Zero no Tsukaima begins with the main female protagonist, Louise de La Valliere is the dunce of her class in Tristein Academy for magicians. Several years of unsuccessful attempt after attempt at casting spells, each resulting in violent explosions, have earned her the nickname of “Zero Louise” from her classmates. However, on the day that her class must summon a familiar each for themselves, Louise summons a commoner from another world: a young boy from Japan named Hiraga Saito, ultimately forming a bond and becomes the main male protagonist. Visuals in general, including sound and artwork is somewhat not the best as I would anticipate. It's not Final Fantasy-ish beautiful with breathtaking quality, but I would say it's pretty decent. Not much to say since there's not much to be bashing about it. Characters, creatively crafted for some, maybe a few were kinda cut-and-paste deal with some of them. I took great pleasure and joy in seeing Saito and Louise make names for themselves going from Zero's to Hero's both in their own rights. I can say I felt sad for some characters, especially Siesta because she is in a one sided love with Saito while Louise is in the way. But there are some redeemable characters like Guiche, Kirche, Tabitha, they're just the perfect supporting side players in the plot, sometimes shining in some scenes with some epic fights. As a honest guy, I liked Kirche a lot, especially because of her sexy looks and most of all, she's just perfect in the typical harem anime. Although they're not unique characters, their personalities are just humorous, especially how Saito is a pervert along with many other characters to sum it up. The replay value is not the best for some out there in my opinion. Some might not enjoy Harry Potter-esque shows like Zero no Tsukaima, but this romance comedy is just classic! I have found myself literally crying from laughter because of how funny some moments can be. Every episode makes me look foward to the next, leaving a feeling of satisfaction. I will admit some things in this anime can be predictable, but as a person who finished the entire series, this one is a keeper! I don't believe in perfection unless it's something like Final Fantasy VII or Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, but this anime is just very enjoyable. Perfect length to be an amazing series in 49 episodes, not rambling on like Naruto and Pokemon. And this is a very cute anime, especially on a person like me who has a penchant for romance series. This is fantasy based, so if those seek some more realistic ones, I would recommend ToraDora or Kaichou Maid-Sama, or even Angel Beats. Deep down, I really suggest you guys to give this one a chance, just once! This anime might be kinda awkwardly funny, maybe even cliched at moments, but the whole anime is very heartwarming and emotional! Some characters can be bland, one-dimensional, but the loving relationship between Louise and Saito is just beautiful in this romantic comedy!

Zero no Tsukaima. One of the few unique animes i watched that let a "classic" impression off me. This anime is an example of an fantasy romance done right. As far as the story goes, as guess you could think of it as Harry Potter with the addition of familiars. Even though the story isnt original and isn't all that great, i guess its the world that get's introduced that leaves an good impression. It's a world of magic with wands, dragons, talking swords, lizards, giants, gods like gandalfr, It's a huge world. One of the reasons you get attracted to the anime is to find out and learn more about the world itsself and that drives you to keep on watching. The art isn't anything special. It's not bad, but i wouldn't say it's a masterpiece either. Lets just leave it as good. The sound is decent. I liked the second opening and the fourth opening stood out to me, but other than that, the music was ok. The characters are one of the strong points of this anime. Saito, the main character, gets transported from Tokyo, to the magic world. Having a lot to learn about the new world he's in, there leaves a lot of room for character development, which the animators do a decent job at. Louise, starts off as your typical tsundere who treats Saito as a dog. Character development is done well and she goes through a drastic change in the series. There are other noticeable characters as well but lets just leave it at that for now The romance of the series isnt the best but is still decent. The romance is cute, but it gets annoying how Louise becomes jeolous at every single girl that goes after Saito The story,art, and enjoyment would be an 8,sound a 7, and character a 9, giving it an overall score of 8

Well, here comes Zero no Tsukaima, a harem-type anime with a tsundere for a main heroine. Another harem anime? Haven’t we had enough of this already? Yep, here’s another anime with a cliché characters, a subpar plot, and a ridiculous amount of fanservice. What? Seriously? Yes, seriously. Zero no Tsukaima is just another one of those terrible animes that people would consider crap. But why? Wasn’t J.C. Staff the one who made this anime? I mean, J.C staff was pretty successful with Toradora! Wasn’t it? Well you see, Zero no Tsukaima is one of those “failures”, so to speak. It failed in almost every aspect and is actually a terrible anime despite its huge fanbase. Why is that you ask? Well, I’ll give you the reasons why. Also, I would like you to know that this would be a review for the entire series and not just for this season. Now let’s move on to the review. Story: The all-important story. Every anime needs a good, gripping story to entertain its viewers right? Well unfortunately, Zero no Tsukaima( which I will just abbreviate to ZnT for simplicity’s sake.) failed to deliver this all-important part of an anime. To tell you frankly, it had a great concept of what it was going to be. A simple summary of the story would be that Saito, a normal, everyday teenager was suddenly dragged into an unknown world and made a familiar by a magician nicknamed as Zero Louise, due to her lack of talent in using magic. It then turns out that the reason Louise can’t use magic efficiently Is because she only excels in a special, legendary type of magic which is void magic and that Saito is the knight of legend, Gandalfr. From that simple summary, one can guess that this would be an epic tale about two legends, trying to fulfill their destinies while encountering numerous hardships along the way, all while developing a romantic relationship between the two. Unfortunately though, the author just decided to go “Fuck that shit, who needs a decent plot when we got a tsundere main heroine, a pevert main hero, lots of tits and an entire harem at our disposal?” Yes, this is exactly what happened to ZnT. Instead of creating an intricate and enjoyable story and focusing on developing the plot, they just decided to give us a crap ton of fanservice, tits, a harem, and then proceeded to screw up the plot and rely on half-baked comedy and tits to try and hook its viewers. Although this would have worked if done correctly, even the comedic side was done half-baked. One of the running gags in ZnT is that the MC, Saito, is an idiot who cannot seem to be able to hold in his boner and literally just drools of every boob he sees, and then proceeds to get dragged into the most awkward circumstances, and then gets beaten up by Louise. It was funny the first time but after seeing it in every single episode that had a scene wherein the MC interacts with a girl (which is like every fucking episode) it got old so much that it only served to annoy me every time it happens. So yeah, the comedy part was pretty horrid, but what exactly happened to the plot then? Well, as you would expect, the plot turned into a complete mush that only serves to further Saito’s harem(I would explain his harem later) and to create more opportunities for them to insert their stupid gag instead of actually developing the plot. I mean seriously, the plot had more plotholes than there are pimples on a boy going through puberty and had as much plot development as a porn flick. Yes, it’s that terrible. But seriously though, the series doesn’t even have a proper antagonist. In each season, a new antagonist is introduced, then they try to set up a scene where the MCs will fight the antagonist, only for the antagonist to be killed/go MIA in an instant, never to be seen or mentioned in the story ever again. So for short, not only doesn’t ZnT have a proper plot, it also doesn’t have a proper antagonist. The last thing that I would like to mention is about the lack of details and proper explanations in ZnT. Now, this is a common problem among a lot of animes, but ZnT just took it to new extremes. There are so many instances wherein inexplicably unbelievable things just happen. It seems that every time something bad happens, some incredible “coincidences” just happen for some reason. Like for example, in one instance, MC Saito is trapped in a room with only a brick wall separating him from his enemies and apparent death, but then guess what? MC Louise “accidentally” learns teleportation magic and teleports him and his friends to safety. Such ridiculous plot armor only exists in fairy tales, and in my opinion it is completely retarded to even try to incorporate them into anime. To sum it all up, I give it a 4/10, just because it is utterly ridiculous up to the point that they might as well add “the power of love” as one their plot armors. Oh wait, they already did, Stupid me. Characters: As I’ve said before, ZnT is an anime focused on making scenarios wherein they could add ecchi and add more members to Saito’s harem. As such, one can expect that the characters are really bland. For one, there is ABSOLUTELY no character development in this anime, none whatsoever. I mean seriously, the main character Saito, a perverted, two-timing guy who has as much sex appeal as Makoto from school days is still the same character he is four seasons after he appeared. Louise, a tsundere loli who only is Saito’s master and supposed “lover” is still the same stereotype anime girl who always gets into trouble and has to be saved by Saito. Then there’s Siesta, a typical maid who becomes a bitch after she falls in love Saito turns into a slutty bitch after who does absolutely nothing but press her boobs onto Saito in hopes of getting noticed after four seasons. After that, there’s Tabitha, your typical silent, mysterious girl stereotype that has as many expressions as Kristen Stewart who is still the same girl she is after four seasons, with the exception of being able to blush and sneaking into Saito’s bed while hoping to get laid or something(no really I’m serious). Then comes in Princess Henrietta, a stereotype girl who seems refined and stoic outside, but apparently has a habit of seducing our MC Saito whenever no one’s around. And finally, Tiffania, your typical air-headed girl with huge, f-cup boobs that always gets into “unfortunate” accidents with the MC is still the same air-headed girl with huge tits when the story ends. You see, there’s your problem; The supposed main characters are all bitches who could all have had a good, deep personality in them are all reduced into mere bitches who fight over Saito’s attention. Now, although there a lot of instances wherein their characters could’ve been fleshed out, like when their back story is explored in an arc, what the anime does instead is to make the girls seem all helpless and make Saito save them and as a result, they fall in love with him. Heck, I even think that some of the side characters have deeper personalities and are more fleshed out than the actual MC’s. I mean, Agnes and Colbert, two side characters had an ENTIRE arc dedicated to them just to reveal their back stories and were actually given a good introduction and excellent character development, all done with good execution but were just thrown away into the sidelines, only appearing thrice or four times in each season after their arc were finished. Now, there’s the problem. Instead of focusing their efforts on developing the main characters, they put their efforts in developing characters that would barely appear in the series while they could have given all that effort into fleshing out the main characters or even at least removing Saito’s inability to reject a girl’s advances especially since he’s already in a relationship. And top it all off, even the antagonist are just plain terrible and don’t stick around for long, as I’ve mentioned before. With all of those blunders, the only score I could give it is a 3/10, since prett…

I began Zero no Tsukaima since it was labeled as a fantasy, but it quickly brought out the ecchi fan I had never known! The story follows a chain of somewhat ridiculous coincidences that kept me laughing continually as the series went on. There was good drama and occasionally some fun adventurous/actiony pieces. Characters: Honestly, the characters did it for me in this series. You have Louise, who works very hard to keep up a good face and prove herself a worth mage, while continually failing. You can see how she takes out her feelings of shortcoming on Saito, whom she has a love hate relationship with. Then Saito, who is just the unlucky guy who fell out of the sky into Tristain who is struggling with understanding the world he is now stuck in, and understand his feelings for his 'master', Louise. Then throw in Siesta, the good girl-better choice-adorable servant; Tabitha, the silent-studious-super power; Guiche, the womanizing-overly confidant; and of course Kirche, the always horny-boobs. Throw them all in a bag, shake it up and there's bound to be plenty of room for laughs. Story: The story, I'll admit, get loose at various times. There is always the sense of Saito trying to discover what his place is in the new world, and how to get back to his world. Then there is the ongoing battle of who Saito should be in love with along with his feeling that he should protect everyone regardless of their class. It takes the series a little while to develop a genuine evil-antagonist, which makes the overall story sail better (now that all the characters we like seem to have a common goal) but up until that point, I was willing to forgive that thanks to all the constant mini-fights between the characters. Drama: I loved the awkward feelings and uncertainty that were present in almost all the character relationships. I won't lie, I occasionally got mad a Saito when it seemed like he finally smoothed things out with Louise, only for him to fawn over someone else, but without his endless distractions, the fun and funny tension would have been gone. Themes: The show is a comedy-ecchi more than anything else, but there are a few deeper themes present in the show that make it further interesting. What role does pride play in how we live. Equality amongst people of different classes. How do we communicate love to the people that matter to us. Most of the themes appear only fleetingly, but they still make you think for that brief moment. Overall, I really enjoyed the show. Zero no Tsukaima: * delivers on the drama * catches the watcher's curiosity (both in story and in characters) * provides plenty of laughs I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys a good, misguided love story.

Okay, so it should not be a good anime, like by all metrics it should be shit... But god damn when it wants to hit emotionally it does so in a very well-paced fashion. Genuinely is a guilty pleasure of mine and if you want to turn your brain off and watch something that has some story and a bit of emotion thrown in once in a while, then I can't recommend this show enough. Don't get me wrong, the story is interesting and is a lot more investing than a lot of other "other world" type anime, but it does require a bit of getting used to. The characters are dumb and childish a staggering amount of the time, but moments of realization and bonding genuinely feel real and within the scope of their characters. One thing that shows itself throughout the 3rd and 4th seasons is that, tragically, the author passed away and so the story is paced awkwardly for a few episodes here and there; however, I still think they managed to tie up loose ends very well.

Do you like tsundere girls? Do you like recycled jokes about boobs and the main character getting caught in misunderstandings and getting blown up in almost every episode? Well this is just a few of the things the first season of 'Zero no Tsukaima' has to offer... Story: 5/10 If you were preparing yourself to watch a pants dropping fantasy show with a stunning, jaw dropping plot line, you'll be fairly disappointed. To be honest, there's not much to talk about regarding the story. Throughout the season, there wasn't anything fascinating or amazing about the plot line. If anything, it was pretty cliched and predictable. With regards to the ending, it really felt a little like deus ex machina and was kind of abrupt. Art: 6/10 There isn't much to talk about in the art department. There wasn't anything stunning or jaw dropping. The animation was decent and fluid, so there wasn't any eye sores throughout the season. Sound: 6/10 In regards to sound, there was nothing memorable. None of the shows tracks were ear catching or stunning. However, the sounds did set the mood well and were used appropriately. (Additionally, in my opinion, the opening song wasn't that great...) Character: 5/10 The characters were very generic and cliched. You have this tsundere girl named Louise that later develops feelings for Saito Hiraga. Then you have Saito, a generic, Japanese boy that takes the sword and saves the day, totally uninteresting. The side characters don't really do much but add to the stories humor and, occasionally, plot line. Despite there being character development, there wasn't a major impact. The character development felt like the show took a sticker and placed it over table. Enjoyment: 7/10 Despite the show being just a decent anime, I found myself enjoying this show a lot more then I thought I would. Something about this show made me want to watch more. Was it because of the shows harem? Maybe it was because of the shows 'misunderstanding' jokes? For me, I enjoyed it because of the pairing. Saito's and Louise's personalities are totally opposite which lead up to some humorous situations. Overall: 6/10 This first season of the show is decent. The art, sound, and voice acting are all decent. All except for the story and the characters, they were pretty mediocre. HOWEVER, this is just the FIRST SEASON of the SHOW. I highly recommend anyone that gives this show at least a 5 or 6 rating to watch the second season. Though, in my opinion, the second season doesn't fix all the points, it makes an attempt to correct them. And one of the HUGE fixes they make would be in the character development between Louise Françoise and Saito Hiraga. This is a huge point that made the second season of the show, Zero no Tsukaima: Futatsuki no Kishi, worth watching.

Saito... Louise.... Saito.... Louise... The anime's genre itself really suits me. I am a huge fan of Fantasy, Magic, Romance, Adventure, Harem and *cough* Ecchi *cough*. This is why I picked it up. And honestly, I don't know what makes me enjoy this anime, but I do. The Saito and Louise relationship is a relationship that I really like, but at the same time really hate. If I were Saito, I wouldn't put up with being treated the way Louise is treating him. He still does, and to be fair, Saito isn't the perfect guy either, considering the harem going on and him not really understanding what Louise wants. Nonetheless, the relationship progresses in a good way throughout the season, and even more in the next one. And there are really some touching moments throughout the season, which I must say I really enjoy. Now, it comes to the plot/story. Here I must say I am not too impressed. Suddenly, a big problem erupts, and I am thinking: Ok, this will take some time to fix. 10 minutes later: Oh wow it's done already. This is pretty much how much of this anime goes. And for some parts, it can be good, but for others, you wish you would see more epic fighting/magic then you already see. I can understand why this anime isn't liked by everyone. By some, it might be dull, boring and not entertaining, but for people like me, who really enjoys watching just a goodfeel anime that makes you go aww and yay, with a huge touch of fantasy/harem and some ecchi and some small touches of magic/fighting, I would recommend the anime. It doesn't really live up to it's genres the way to be expected, but I am still watching episode after episode of this, mostly to see how the relationship of Saito and Louise is going to develop, and the story is at times also very exciting. I will give this anime a 6 purely because I am enjoying it, but it's far from amazing.

i decided to write my first review,and i choused the anime that made me enter the anime world. At the first look at this anime you might say "its the lame type of harem/echii anime".With that i disagree.This anime conteins a lot of comedy,awesome story and a controversed love story betwen the main characters(louise and saito).There are other characters that are destroing(without any intention)their relationship,but,even with that obstacle,thei manage to remain togheter(sorry i kind of mentioned the description of the whole series).Now about the story.In Tristain(hope that is how you write it :) )as a wizard you must summon a familiar(animals,but not in our case)that will stay by your side until one of you dies.Louise the worst wizard in the school summons a guy(that is when Saito comes in)named Saito.Their relation started as a master-slave one but after adventures and other things they come to fall in love. These are the basics of this anime.If you want to find out more its up to you ;).I hope you'll like this anime as much as i did(i was destroyed when the anime ended) Thanks for reading!!!

So Zero no Tsukaima is centered around Saito, the male protagonist, who was an ordinary teenage boy living in Japan before he was suddenly summoned by a student at Tristain Academy of Magic known as Louise, or as she was called in the beginning of the series by her classmates, Louise the Zero. Story 9/10 The story, I thought, was fine. It had plenty of comedy as well as romance, and I really liked the harem that Saito had with all the main female characters; albeit, some episodes had a lot of different genres coming in at once. It was easy for me to follow along and overall, the story wasn't too jumble or anything. Art/Animation 9/10 I liked the animation in Familiar of Zero, it's the kind that I prefer. The colors were appropriate and the backgrounds were to be expected in an fantasy type of anime, however, it made it all the better for me to really get into it. Sound 10/10 I find the voices are well chosen (you can't go wrong with Kugimiya Rie voicing a tsundere character) and the op's and endings were awesome and are worth listening to. Also, I loved the music that would play in the background for certain scenes, they all really fitted and gave each scene the appropriate feel. Character 8/10 I thought the character's were well developed and there were no sudden personality changes or anything, however, they were very original. I love how Louise never failed to give a tsundere moment, but at the same time, I like how she gave the impression of nobility (she should since she comes from a noble family) Enjoyment 7/10 I enjoyed watching Zero no Tsukaima at first, but frankly, I got tired of the numerous ecchi scenes and how some episodes were just 'huh' There was a lot of comedy in it, but almost like there was too much in some cases. There was just enough romance for me, despite some of the romantic scenes being a bit cliché and too overused. I did start to lose interest after the first season, the episodes just seemed to (somewhat) drone on. Even though I wasn't as enthusiastic about watching past the first season, I did, and overall I did enjoy watching Zero no Tsukaima to the end. Overall Albeit it with all that's been said, I think Zero no Tsukaima is overall a good anime to watch if you like ecchi, romance, comedy, harem, fantasy, batting with magic, and harry potter (no joke this anime will remind you of it) Despite a 9 overall rating, ZnT has remained one of my favorite animes and honestly, I would recommend it to anyone.

I did not really like anime but with a nice drawing. Subject of a beautiful and natural, but 2 The topic of the season was a little different. The properties of the characters were more varied. There fore 2 I did not like season. As a result, was a good anime.

EHH.. ok I guess nowadays I really only watch anime to kill time because I have no money to go out, so I pretty much have become accustomed to the same old cliche. To start off the story was relatively good for only 13 episodes. The way they slowly added pieces to the puzzle definitely kept you enthralled. However, despite this the story was totally predictable and you had almost the whole story figured out about half way to two thirds through, again it was only 13 episodes so I guess that might be reasonable. The character models where pretty good I think. Louise' light pink hair almost made me overlook her incredibly overbearing, selfish personality, which is a common thread in anime of this genre. The background animation was so so at best with rip off's from Harry Potter. The opening theme wasn't too bad and worked well with the story's basic premise of literally starting with a kiss. The background music was actually quite appealing and gave life to some of the short lived fight scenes. The characters are where the anime looses points for me. The anime is utterly cliche with the same nice guy, mean girl act. Why is it that in 70% of the anime I watch the main protagonist always chooses the girl that treats him the worst, in this case the female lead treats the protagonist like a pet. For example, for all 13 episodes the male lead (Saito) sleeps on the floor on a stack of hey without even a blanket, while the female lead (Louise) sleeps in a luxurious queen size bed. The developers also focus to much on cheap laughs through excessive and unnecessary violence from Louise. To be honest it's not funny and it's just plain annoying I don't understand how they came up with 3 seasons. In a nutshell Saito is a cliche Mr. Nice Guy character who really has no real reason to even endure or like Louise, but still ends up with her in the end, even when there was another character whom he liked and was treated way better by. I just wish once that the protagonist would fall for the underdog instead of the romantically cliche female lead. Despite it's clear faults I did have a few laughs and overall did feel good after watching it. However, This isn't something I would watch again. Well then again I probably will watch the 2nd season. But trust me their are loads of anime out there with way more depth than this one.
