What is love? Oh baby don't hurt me
A girl from the human world got summoned into another world, where she learned to become a Saint while interacting with those in the new world.
The premise is a textbook isekai, but instead the story focused on slice of life and romance. Throughout the show, we learned about how our main character discovered her talent for magic and alchemy. It's also a little bit of reverse-harem because she was surrounded by mostly guys.
For most of it, the series was very chill and sweet. The animation was on point as every characters look good and the sceneries were beautiful. As the series took its time, the romance also slowly built up. Our Saint's commander charming was smooth as heck and constantly flirting.
The story didn't have any bloody or thrilling adventures. However, by focusing on the romance and characters, it found a charming way of showing the magical power of love. Our Saint is almost like a Disney princess, with the exception that she's powerful.
I would say the biggest problem was that binging this show felt dragging. The pacing was slow, which is expected from the story's focus on slice of life. This show would be better to watch weekly or daily, as that would maintain the charm of the series while mitigating the effect of the slow pace.
Also, the story did not show our Saint coping from the fact that she randomly got summoned into the magical world. At the beginning, she was a bit angry, but then quickly moved on and adapted to her new life. Focusing on this aspect a bit more would better round up the character.
Overall, it's a charming series with good romance and humor. 7/10.

This anime is quite enjoyable. If you watch it you will love it. It's not something so special. But sometimes people wants something simple for a change of wind. If you're like that then give it a go.
The anime's relatively low score should not be taken as gospel. I can already characterize it as a hidden gem, an underestimated masterpiece if you enjoy isekais. I'll tell you why in this review.
According to what I discovered, the bulk of detractors make statements like "Wow, a reverse-harem" or "The MC is female so I can't relate" in the forums. Giving an anime a 1 and discarding it for arbitrary, shallow reasons says a lot about how you should form your own opinions and not just follow others' judgments.
Alright, enough about the anime. Do you like your isekai to be stress-free? Do you find it entertaining to watch the main character change and mature in their new environment? Do you like watching them gain incredible abilities that benefit everyone in their path? Prepare yourself for an amazing experience.
The Magic Power of the Saint is The story and evolution are just right to make you want to keep binge-watching, but not to the point where it becomes too much for you. The omnipotent pacing is flawless. You can still perceive a goal while taking pleasure in watching adorable individuals exchange charming grins and casual banter. The aim is to stay a regular lady in this strange environment, where more and more people will surely notice your abilities.
Ascendance of a Bookworm is what comes to me when I think of another wonderful book that has similar settings and world-building. The ambiance is comfortable and the artwork is lovely. The plot is still driven by the character's inner thoughts and conflicts, even though there isn't any imminent danger.
In conclusion, you are in the proper place if you enjoy wholesome anime featuring a strong and adorable main character, putting yourself in their shoes, and watching the story unfold alongside. Let's celebrate Sei, the regular girl who determined to make everyone's life better after unexpectedly gaining the abilities of a saint. Hooray!

Unfortunately I didn't find that this anime added anything new to its genre and is a pretty standard fantasy isekai in the end. There were some interesting ideas here and some good character moments, but not enough. The biggest issue for me were the characters; there was no standout among the cast and just about no one had an interesting story going on with them. The whole show is basically just watching the characters float around the world doing everyday tasks and talking to one another, which isn't inherently bad, but ends up being a bit boring when nothing else is going on. Plus the conversations for the most part aren't all that interesting, and as I stated before neither are there characters, so we end up with 24 episodes of bland characters having bland conversations. I don't recommend this show and you could find much better in the isekai genre, both in the romance, fantasy, and comedy spaces.
I started the first episode looking forward to a lighthearted and fun anime. I got exactly what I expected and I find that very satisfying. The characters while yet to face many serious problems or situations are all very likable and endearing. The show just leaves with this wholesome all around good feeling inside. It also made me laugh out loud a couple times, -though if you ask my friends that's not very hard. But even with my easy laughing nature I'd still chalk this up and a good show with great promise and I can't wait for the next episode.
Some hot office lady called Sie Takanashi gets teleported to another world because she is the saint or something. Some selfish prince transported another lady who isn't bad looking herself and thinks she is the saint herself and the whole thing turns into a mess.
Story wise it's not really that different from other isekai but it still has some really good ideas.
The characters are very likely able and quite original I must say. Instead of the typical isekai where a nerd gets trapped into a video game or dies from an accident and gets reincainated as a swords man, mage or an archer. The main character is a heeler.
The character designs are good as well as the animation.
The anime is good if you want something to pass the time.

Like wish fulfillment for a simple and purposeful existence. Sei loves plants and gardening and is gifted with healing magic. The characters are flamboyant in a subdued way. Very nice light entertainment.

I have always loved isakai anime. I have started watching more romance and this show is a relaxing wholesome mix of the two. The show has interesting characters, a good story and cute humor. It is about a woman who is summoned to a mid evil style world with magic. The main character is over powered as with most isakai. I would highly recommend watching this anime at least once. Personally I think it gives Snow White with the red hair vibes. (Another romance fantasy anime I would highly recommend). Currently there are two seasons with a third slated for around 2025. This anime was able to make my top 10 with ease and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did. 😁

I've watched tons of Isekai and this is just out rightly annoying, boring and a waste of beautiful plot...
Character development is poor, storyline takes forever to hit and the main character is just BORING
What in God name is that Romance part? They tried to aim for cuteness but failed woefully...they should go learn from Light Novels anime
Don't even know why it has a season 2, hopefully they don't make the mistake of continuing it.
If you're a fast paced Isekai lover pls don't settle for this, if you love Isekai with cute storyline that's gives you mushy feelings still DO NOT settle for this.

Overall the story is not interesting and develops too slowly. The main character does and says things that I find most times either boring or annoying. I can barely get through the romantic parts because they are cringe. The audience I find this to be targeting would be little girls.
