How to Use Healing Magic Wrong has everything I want in an anime except action. Episode 7 is another episode of incredible character development and war preparations, but we get to do these while getting some action. I’ve praised this anime to a lot of people, but now I’m starting to cringe and think I made the wrong choice. This has all the elements of a good anime, but it lacks tension, lacks intensity. We got the snake and the grizzlies, but when Rose went to the Demon Lord camp, show she kicked some real ass and then had to retreat. I love the characters, I’m passionate about the lore and the world, but this lack of combat and combat is getting to me now.
I thought we were going somewhere, too, because the cat-eared girl had given Ken a dire premonition of what might happen. However, instead of engaging in battle, we have the main character talk about the fear of war with his companions in the twilight, there is more Blurin caressing antics and more motivation /more advice from Rose. That’s great, but can we get them to fight SOMETHING while these moments are passing?
The moments between Usato, Kazuki, and Suzune were all touching. Rose giving Usato a Rescue Team uniform was also awesome. WE NEED NEXT EPISODE ACTION. Please.
How to Use Wrong Healing Magic is now streaming on Crunchyroll.
