The
picture here may look like this anime is about a cute romantic retelling of the
Beauty and the Beast and it's just that but it is worse. Dropped this one just
after watching one and a half episode, because I couldn't take how the
"romance" was getting handled in this.
So,
we have Chise, the 15 year old protagonist of the show, who is SOLD AT AN
AUCTION to a magician by the name of Elias, who is, later we'll know, more than
200 years old, because she is going to be his apprentice in magic. So
right after the girl is brought to his place, guess what, he immediately does?
STRIPS
HER NAKED FOR A BATH WHEN SHE WAS CLEARLY PROTESTING.
His
reason was that "she cannot do it". I don't understand which part of
bathing she couldn't do? Take her clothes herself? Fill the tub with warm
water? Or just take a bath? Why does he have to strip her naked? And are we
supposed to find this romantic? I really did not understand that scene. And all
these happened within the first 10 minutes of episode one.
