Grimoire of Zero
Oshimeter
Synopsis
In a world of constant war between humans and witches, there exist the "beastfallen"—cursed humans born with the appearance and strength of an animal. Their physical prowess and bestial nature cause them to be feared and shunned by both humans and witches. As a result, many beastfallen become sellswords, making their living through hunting witches. Despite the enmity between the races, a lighthearted witch named Zero enlists a beastfallen whom she refers to as "Mercenary" to act as her protector. He travels with Zero and Albus, a young magician, on their search for the Grimoire of Zero: a powerful spell book that could be extremely dangerous in the wrong hands. During their journey, his inner kindness is revealed as he starts to show compassion and sympathy towards humans and witches alike, and the unlikely companions grow together.

The episode shows how the friendship between the main characters strengthens and has a generally good season finale, but it feels like it could have been better, with more complex fights and plot twists. I hope we can see more adventures of Zero and the Mercenary in the future, with many more fun and exciting situations.
Overall, the episode is entertaining, but I'm still waiting for more epic magic battles. The conflicts between the protagonists are resolved very simply and are not remarkable at all. The motivations are a bit vague and don't show me a real connection with the characters.
It's quite a revealing chapter, where the true motivations of both the enemies and the protagonists are revealed, but I feel it lacked a bit of excitement in the spell-based combat, given the theme of witches. It's missing that spark of conflict.
Honestly, it's a thrilling episode. Albus's character development is excellent, and the pacing of the events continues to captivate me. It's not just about fighting and casting spells; the story also deals with making the right or most advantageous choices. Simply delightful.
I highly recommend this chapter. I love how the characters' backstories gradually unfold, and how cruel and unjust humanity can be due to fear of the unknown. Different revelations keep coming, and the plot begins to make sense. The shocking revelation at the end of the chapter is simply brilliant.
In this episode, we see a grittier side of the story, reflecting human discrimination and fear of difference; a mercenary at a crossroads, forced to make crucial decisions; and a deeply emotional scene in which one of the protagonists battles his own inner demons. All these elements are the perfect ingredients to keep me hooked and eager to discover what's in store for future episodes.
In this episode, unprecedented things happen. You definitely don't know what's going to happen with this anime. They might be fighting, and suddenly something unexpected and completely contrary to what was expected occurs. The main villain is intelligent and manipulative, and the way he creates unease among the protagonists is masterful. It's quite a humorous, yet captivating, premise, and I also love it when they use the element of surprise.
I loved how the main villain was first revealed, and the series became much more interesting in this episode; the invocations and spells shown were exciting, and the conflict intensified. I really enjoyed it.
I loved this episode because the main characters' friendship deepened, and I learned a bit more about each of their pasts. Even though there wasn't a battle, I found it enjoyable.
I found this episode very funny; I felt a stronger connection between the characters, and it was full of hilarious situations. It also shows the harsh reality and discrimination humans face towards beings of different origins.
The episode starts to tone down, but it still provides a canon idea about the characters. It gives Mercenary solid character depth. His wish for a normal life feels more personal here, while the Plasta setting adds a fresh change of pace.
This episode feels more intense because the conflict becomes personal, not just magical. Mercenary’s emotions, Zero’s complicated past, and Thirteen’s presence add real tension. It is a strong episode that makes the story feel heavier and more serious.
This episode starts making the anime more interesting to watch. It feels more serious and focused compared to the earlier episodes. The mystery around magic and the grimoire becomes clearer, while Zero, Mercenary, and Albus get pulled deeper into a bigger conflict.
I still feel the series is a bit slow; nothing interesting happened in this chapter. Zero's team just talked to the townspeople, and at the end of the chapter, when I thought there would be a fight, everything was resolved in a very simple way.
This chapter delves deeper into the ultimate motivations of the characters involved in the search for the grimoire, clarifying what truly drives each group. This helps to better understand the overall conflict and lends greater weight to everything that has transpired so far.
Throughout the episode, the motivations of the various groups pursuing the grimoire are explored in more detail, making it clear that the conflict is not simply a struggle for power, but also for very different ideals.
This chapter delves deeper into the clashes between different groups searching for the grimoire, making it clear that the situation is far more complex than it initially appeared. Magic once again takes center stage, but the chapter also demonstrates how fear and ambition can be
I found the first episode interesting; the duo of the witch and the beast seemed different from the conventional, and the story told in the first episode made me want to keep watching the series. It starts a little slow for my taste, but the action picks up towards the end.
The episode also delves into the consequences of using magic and how the decisions of certain characters affect those around them. As the story progresses, it becomes increasingly clear that the grimoire poses a significant threat if it falls into the wrong hands.
The tension in the story increases considerably, and the consequences of magic-related conflicts begin to be shown more clearly. Zero and the mercenary face situations where trust and quick decisions become crucial to their survival.
