augh why did I watch the Ancient Magus' Bride OVAs. These were terrible. Way worse than the main series. The third one had a couple good parts, but even it had issues. Felt like it took place 40 years ago rather than 10, was filled with all evil spirits and no good spirits (which isn't the case at all in the main series, especially since the series constantly emphasizes how spirits love sleigh beggies), and it makes zero sense how the ordinary people here know nothing about magic. I think that this is a dumb aspect in any modern day series where people don't know about magic (Harry Potter included) but it especially makes no sense here, when you see stuff like Elias curing townspeople with magic medicine. The library forest story was nice, at least, though it did make Chise seem extra dumb. Why would she ever leave the door open when she's deathly afraid of the monsters outside? Bah.

If anyone's interested in the series and is considering watching the OVAs, don't. They suck.
