Assassin's Pride [Anime Discussion]

Title in English: Assassin's Pride

DUB or SUB?? Sub definitely!

Episodes: 12! It's a light novel series!

Where to watch it: Crunchyroll

[About the Anime: Only those from noble families have the mana to be able to fight against monsters. Kufa is a noble born to a duke's family who is sent to tutor a young woman named Melida. If it turns out that Melida has no talent with mana, Kufa is secretly instructed to assassinate her.]

This anime started off by introducing us to Kufa (....not sure if he's a protagonist or secretly going to kill everyone 😲) that's an unsettling assassin who looks a lot like Kirito from SAO. What's unsettling about him is one second he has a beaming smile and then when someone turns there back he's got a blank face and eyes screaming death at their back.

Kufa then goes on his new mission and meets Melida Angel, who he is supposed to kill if she doesn't prove that she has talent with mana. He is kinda pretending to be a tutor in order to get closer to her.

You will not believe how much my brother and I screamed at the very end of the first episode, it caused us so much panic. We immediately had to start the next one to find out what had happened!

The thing is that Melida is such a cinnamon roll and strong character that you just- you love her! And then right off the bat you think Kufa tried to kill her and you-you just... scream at the TV for a bit....
There's so much worry over this one main character, and then this other main character... you NEVER know if he's just gonna start killing people or what!

So that's kinda a introduction to my thoughts on the anime, but don't worry there's more!

There's mystery and action throughout, plot twists and so many times you get to see the characters that are considered weak standing up and being strong!

I can't describe how much I love the romance either, at first I wasn't sure what was happening... again one of the characters is kinda hard to read, but as it progressed I found that I really really want them together!

My rating:

Have any of you heard of this anime or the light novels?

What did you think of Kufa or Melida?

Hoping you're all well & having a lovely day!!

Scythe by Neal Shusterman | Review + Q & A

Hello lovely peoples! I have a book review to share with you, and at the bottom (after the review) will be a little Q & A section. Because my friend Desara also nominated me for the Sunshine Blogger Award, and I feel bad about not answering her questions- because I'd already done the tag when my friend Tessa nominated me. (That was a mouthfull, Lol.) So book review first! * * * * * Scythe by Neal Shusterman!! Synopsis: Thou shalt kill. A world with no hunger, no disease, no war, no misery.
