I thought this title rang a bell... But then I realised I was thinking of Re: Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu. Although this has magic in it, it looks like it will be very different from that, huh?

Yeah, there's no 'other world' in this anime. It looks like it will be more like Toaru Majutsu no Index or Shuumatsu no Izetta, with the main characters trying to protect each other.

The main character Mercenary also reminds me of Atsushi from Bungo Stray Dogs, with the anthropomorphic tiger/furry-style characteristics and being shunned for that reason. So sad...

Don't worry, I think this anime looks pretty upbeat! Also it's by White Fox, I think we can trust them to make something good!

Synopsis

Church Calendar Year: 526
In this world, witches not only exist, but they practice their sorcery. Yet, in the same world, people do not know of what magic is. In those times, there was a mercenary who was half-beast and half-human. He and his kind, however, are mocked by humans for their existence and called “fallen beasts”.

Day after day, he dreams of becoming fully human, and one day, he encounters a beautiful witch who could change his entire fate. “Do you want to go back? To being a human..? Then in that case, I command thee to become mine escort!”

The witch introduces herself as “Zero” and reveals that she is currently in search of a magical tome called “The Book of Zero.” This book can potentially teach someone the power to bring the world to ruin. It was stolen from her by someone and should she get it back, she can help him. In order for the mercenary to become fully human with the power of Zero, he would need to meet her requirement of helping her find this magical tome. The problem is though is that he hates witches, and he would have to serve as the guard to one. Regardless, the two set out for the imperial capital searching for “Number thirteen”, a magician who holds the key to finding “the book of zero”, but it is already too late as they have fallen into a trap…?!

Three Episode Impression

Zero Kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho is shot mostly from the perspective of a beastfallen known only as mercenary. He looks like a white tiger and has an incredibly large body. He hates witches and hunts them. That is, till he is hunted one time and saves one thinking she is a little girl. This witch is no ordinary witch. Zero, her name, is on the hunt for a magical grimoire that was stolen from her. They meet a young boy who is also training to be a witch and together they travel with Mercenary as he acts as their bodyguard. But why does he if he hates witches so much? Zero has promised to make him human again if he protects her.

Two words: Spice & Wolf! This series feels just like the amazing classic, but with just a little more humor and a little bit lighter of a story to digest. While we find it extremely difficult to imagine that anyone had a hard time with Spice and Wolf (blasphemy), Zero Kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho may just be the springboard you need into the series. It’s fun, enjoyable, and the characters are actually semi-well developed meaning that there is more for us to enjoy! Though, it could be argued at the current pace that Zero may not find her grimoire this season, which means we could be getting more. Who knows, but we sure hope so!
