MÄR: Märchen Awakens Romance

A fast paced anime with great world building aspect but very short action scenes. Its one of those classic isekai based anime with multiple games being published.

Like every other isekai and wuxia - this can fall in action adventure category with a hint of mystery and comedy. Not heavily in romance rather focusing in friendship and heroism. Very retro sound scores - nothing fancy on that. Opening songs was cute although not very memorable. Some of the ending songs were slightly better than the intros but still not catchy/ not memorable. Despite being classic children ftiendly anime, few aspects from this were not aged well for todays audiences - young teenagers getting drunk on alcoholic beverages, sex jokes&poses, vulgar words and killing without mercy.

Interesting characters mostly named after western & european fairy tales based characters. Memorable mascots and just too many recaps. As for the skill sets, nothing special, mostly just summoning monsters. The fight scenes resembles classic gameboy color/snes rpg games (3d). Aside from power upgrades, nothing much in the characters developments.

The voice castings were just okay - very similar to dragon balls, fullmetal alchemist and other classic voice talents. Compared to other classic animes - the production quality is horrible but i really enjoyed the storyline (like playing a game). Just pacing was too unreasonably quick. Ideal for people loving treasure huntings and into competitive aspects.

The worst part was the last few episodes full of bad choices. The story was changed dramatically away from what it was in the comics, hence made it messier and awful. Recommended.
