Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Shou premiere episode comes with a slow pacing. This anime is quite unique because the protagonist is not a handsome man, but “The White Tiger”, half-human half-beast mercenary who hunts witches. Fortunately, the nameless characters that are reliable in physical combat accompanied by a mysterious witch girl named Zero. The pilot episode focuses on introducng the nameless character who excels in physical combat accompanied by a mysterious witch girl, and presented the chemistry between them well.

Handled by the studio which have worked on other fantasy anime last year (Re: Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu), the magical fighting and action sequence in this anime is pretty exciting although only shown near the end of the episode. And it sets up tge conflict between human, half-human half-beasts, and witches pretty well. If you are a fan of fantasy-themed story, Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Shou is an anime you should follow.
