Bad world building ... too many plot devices
23 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Ok so i'm gonna start with the good stuff, i really like the aesthetics of this anime, the different characters and their features (vanilla -soft and nice- robin -the careless attractive assistant- etc...), the cute lil girly outfits, and the simple idea of magic, you could do so many things with that, right?

1- world building

This anime is a miss, there are no rules or regulations for the magic that's used, chocola and vanilla would cast random spells whenever they want that would probably do literally anything (infinitely-no stamina-), they made people fly, made their own café etc... i mean i would like to see them trainig for using magic and to give us more insight about what and what not in the magic world that would've been intersting.

2-bad plot devices

I feel like this show wants to move everthing towards a certain plot no matter what, even if it means murdering character development, vanilla throughout the whole anime has been the nicest character and best friend with chocola since forever but all of a sudden for a minor inconvenience she AGREED to be evil, leave her one and only friend and oppose against her homeland and everything she grew up with, they could've used SO many other ways to write that, like cast an evil spell on vanilla to FORCE her to be the queen or make that leader of the members be the queen instead of vanilla, but no they decided to murder her character, as if her friendship with chocola meant nothing.

3-annoying characters

i really don't know what's the point of that mouse and frog, they literally don't do anything except being annoying, they didn't even try to make them interesting, it might've been nice if they give us a glimpse of their past.

4-silly jokes

I just hate it when there is (for example) a heart-felt scene and there is a random silly joke out of nowhere, it happens a lot during this anime and it pisses me off, like there is so much room for jokes don't make it interfere with the story line.

5-I don't know what to name this

When vanilla went with Pierre and started changing chocola didn't seem concerned at all she just cried when she tried to save her but then she continued her life normally as if her lifelong bestfriend was not missing i know she couldn't save her at first but still she didn't even seem concerned ... i mean she sacrified her heart for pierre even though he tried to kill her so many times and in one episode everyone noticed she looked so lonely and sad when she was thinking about him, kinda breaks her character i think.
