Anime: Zero no Tsukaima aka The Familiar of Zero

So... I'm not like a hardcore anime fan or anything, i don't know most of those really popular anime that people watch, well I've heard of names like Bleach and all but I never watched them. I watch anime but no much, maybe once in a long time and I don't like anime with like over hundreds of episodes, well their fans would probably love it considering they can watch more and more, but no for me. I like it to be done nice and quick, so the anime that I watch usually has less than 30 episodes. And those anime with like many seasons, they drive me crazy. It's not just anime, same goes for dramas or sitcoms so what, I hate them being like on and on forever like, when can I be done at this??

Anyways, Zero no Tsukaima, which is also The Familiar of Zero, is the longest anime I've ever watched. Combining all the seasons and ova together. It has like four seasons, 12 episodes each and one or two OVA I couldn't really remember. It's not just the longest anime I've watched, but THE BEST. I start watching it just for the sake of killing time I did not know it could turn out to be so great, I'm hooked.




So it's about a Japanese boy named Saito, he got summoned into another world by Louise, a girl from an aristocratic family, that studies in a magic academy along with many other aristocrats. Louise didn't mean to summon Saito, she doesnt really know what she is doing, as she is nicknamed as 'Louise the Zero' by her classmates, because she always fail to do magic properly, resulting in burning the school, explosions and also summoning a human as her familiar. Because by right, she should summon some kind of animal like her classmates did, dragons, dogs, moles, anything animal like, but she summoned Saito instead. Well, she had no other choice but to have him as her familiar by planting a kiss on him.




Louise doesnt know how to send Saito back, since she doesnt know how she summoned him either, she accepts him and lets Saito stay with her in the school. She treats him like a maid, chains him up, making him clean the room and wash her clothes, even her underwear, which she doesnt feel inappropriate because to her, he is just a familiar.


Saito has a rune on his left hand, which he gets when he becomes Louise's familiar, the rune turns out to be a very special rune, which is the rune of Gandalfr, which brings the meaning of God's Left Hand. Saito has the ability of using any object intended to be made into a weapon with high skill, like his sword, without even practicing.


Turns out that Saito being so special, is because Louise is special, she cannot perform normal magic because she's some really rare void mage, that can only perform void magic, but is very powerful. And only a void mage can have a familiar with special powers like Saito.


Although there are other male characters, most of the recurring characters are females. And most of them have extremely large boobs, that always caught Saito's attention, as he is shown to be perverted. Louise was an exclusion, however, because she is known for her flat chest, but even so, Saito still loves her. Saito didnt really confess his feelings to Louise at first, as did Louise because of her proud personality as an aristocrat. But she always get jealous when Saito is surrounded by girls (most of the girls are all attracted to Saito), or when he has dirty thoughts about their huge boobs. As a punishment, she uses her explosion spell on him.



Kirche and Tabitha are Louise classmates, they are best friends, but with a totally different personality. Kirche is really outgoing, while Tabitha is usually quiet. Kirche's affection towards Saito is really obvious, and she is really confident with her body, always showing her cleavage and purposely pushing her breast against Saito. Tabitha always sits quietly beside reading or something, her feelings for Saito was shown obviously at the later part of the series, after Saito helped her with her problems and she started to have feelings for him.



Guiche is really good with women, and he is really proud of it. He challenged Saito to a battle at the starting of the series, but they later became best friends. Despite having feelings for Montmorency, Guiche continues to flirt with other girls, which always make Montmorency mad, walking off from him. And Guiche will have to chase her and cheer her up. Montmorency never admitted that Guiche is her boyfriend, but it is obvious that both her and Guiche have feelings for each other.


Siesta is a maid working in the school, she is not an aristocrat like most of the other characters in the anime. She also have feelings for Saito, and was always arguing with Louise because of him, she showed her feelings to Saito really obviously, having seducing him with sexy outfits and all, but Saito was too blunt to notice.


Henrietta is not a student from the magic academy, she is the princess, and later queen of Tristain. She is also a childhood friend of Louise, and the two are very close. She, too, have feelings for Saito. At first, she had a lover, Prince Wales, but he is killed in a war. For some time, she was in deep heartbreak about the death of Prince Wales, but later she started to develop feelings for Saito. After Louise found out about her feelings towards Saito, they had a brief fight about it but made up eventually.


Tiffania is an elf that saved Saito's life, she was always wearing a hat at first to cover her ears so that people doesnt she is an elf. Her true self was revealed eventually. She resurrects Saito after he died during a war and what Saito remembered about her is only her huge boobs. She is really blunt about her feelings towards Saito, but she soon realizes her feelings for him.



And this extremely good looking guy, is Julio. He is the knight of Albion, and he only starts appearing is Season 3 or something. He has eyes of a different colour, one red, and one blue. He is able to communicate with magical creatures, like how Saito can use weapons, as he is known as the Windalfr, which is God's Right Hand. He, IS SO HOT. And I love how he's not involved in the multi-angled relationship of Saito and the other girls because he has no feelings for Louise, or Saito. He is just their friend that helps them. And he tried to make Saito jealous by being close to Louise, awww how can you not love him.



So this anime is really really nice, and for those who like the romantic comedy genre like me, you should really check it out if you haven't :)
