A cute magician girl is sold into slavery to a creepy wizard who wants her to be his wife.
Good first episode. As far as I could tell, it was an exact repeat of the OVA though, so if you’ve already seen that you may be able to skip a bit.
Looking forward to the rest. I enjoy the manga as well so I know this should be good.
Edit: Thanks to Derek for pointing out that I watched the wrong episode. Now I watched the right one.
And, since I can easily compare, having just rewatched the OVA, the first episode of the series feels like a big improvement! It does a fabulous job of capturing how simultaneously cute and creepy Elias is. My one complaint is, what the hell were the translators thinking when they went with “Sleigh Beggies”. That is the stupidest thing I ever read.
You might want to double check what you watched, both your screencaps come from the OVA rather than the first ep. (Because of the way Crunchy lays out it’s UI, it’s sometimes pretty easy to pick the wrong thing. I do it all the time.) There’s nothing that I recall in the first ep that duplicates the OVA.
Fuck you’re right!!!
On Sleigh Beggies, they went with Seven Seas’ interpretation http://sevenseasentertainment.tumblr.com/post/120370462795/hello-on-the-account-of-the-sleigh-beggy
Interesting, thanks for sharing! Had no idea it was an actual thing. Still sounds really stupid haha.
