I'm actually questioning who's voting and if these idiots watched at least 1 min of the show. When I'm saying this is one of the best show of his kind I'm taking in consideation all my list of anime and manga, my opinion might actually be a little bios considering i grow up watching anime like digimon, pokemon,... in fact this show reminds me of a little bit of them (minus the the action, which is not that important as much the journey and the growth of our main protagonist). Story (8): In a world where magic and monsters exist, life got better thanks to mages called healers, which have the ability to calm down monsters and make them friendly. Our main protagonist Yuu, has the same ability as is father, the first episode like usual, introduce us to the world we are about to explore and in part tell us why Yuu starts his journey and why he s scared of monsters (not implicit, I got to that conclusion after finishing the first episode, everyone can come with their own conclusions, is not that important for the enjoyment of the show). Art (9): The art is really beautifull, we have some pastels drawnings in a lot of episodes, nevertheless is always consistent and breathtaking on most of the scenaries and monsters scenes. Sound (9): Very fond of the intro/outro music and the choice of the background music, also I kinda feel the voice actors do and amzing job to interpret all the cast. Characters (8): - Yuu is our main protagonist which we will follow trough his journey, he has the ability to heal, he s also very timid around people and dont like to show his ability around them, for some reasons he s scared of monsters. - Merc is a special monster that is gifted fom his father, we dont know nothing about her, that's why she wants to travel to find clues about her past and who she's. She's, on the contrary, full of herself and put Yuu most of the time in troubles. Enjoyment (9): This is really a charming anime, every episode is captivating and makes you intrigued for the next one, It s' really all about the journey, the interactions between characters and the eventual growth, and realization of the objectis of the main characters. Altough i love shounen, martial arts and action anime and manga, I cant stop myself from watching this show, that's why even tough it has little if not none of the genres i like the most I find this show strangely captivating, beautifull and relaxing. Hope I change few of your minds and make you give a shot of this one. Thanks for reading. 12 of 12 episodes seen
The story goes of the usual magical fantasy, where humans and monsters exist, and with magic of course. We have our main protagonist Yuu the Healer (considered rare in the world of Merc Storia), with the special ability to heal monsters, something that is inherited within the 'pretense' family that is the context of the entire show. With that set in mind, The Apathetic Boy Yuu goes out to adventure on his conquest to heal monsters, but not with his companion Merc, the Girl in a Bottle, trying to regain her memories as well. Story and characters are taken of the context of the game, and given the episodic context of the series, it can be shown that Yuu and Merc, the pair travelling to various towns, and with much danger that they face, they have to be wary of everyone they see. Yuu unfortunately is a very timid, shy person who is scared of monsters (for some reason, IDK if the game explains it), and Merc is something like a gift from his father, and just attempts to pair her up with him to know more about the outside world, aside from just recovering memories alone. And thankfully, when Yuu gets into trouble, each and everytime, Merc is always there to aid him to cut off any form of misunderstandings. The other characters in interaction with Yuu and Merc, regardless of character, personality or form, they provide a way for the pair to understand countless situations and problems: To heal monsters (for Yuu) and understanding what is going on (for Merc). Unforunately, like SSSS.Gridman, the monsters-of-the-week are a weekly recurrence, and that area is where boredom can set in very quickly and make this a forgettable series. I really don't know much about Encouragement Films, other than their ONA series and the great series that is Hitorijime My Hero. And I've gotta say, I really am (forced to be) ENCOURAGED to watch this series from start to end. This series was just an eyeopener to their work, with the lush art and beautiful pastel-like backgrounds. Same goes to the music itself. Mili's OP (which was quite a shocker for me) and Merc's own ED, both are really calm, soothing and although didn't feel like a mixed-well appropriate OST, it is what it is. If this had an at least good premise, I would be stoked to watch this. The divide here would be whether at least this had good character context or either an engaging story (which it most likely didn't). As for myself, I can only say it's an OK series, and nothing more. 4 of 12 episodes seen
Plot (3/10): The story is about a boy setting out on a journey to recover his water fairy memories. Well not really, it’s an excuse for them to travel around the generic fantasy world to help people because plot. As a result the premise is really weak and aimless. The story follows a episodic monster of the week format, where each storyline revolves around some annoying, little girl or some misunderstood monster. Characters (1/10): I find all the characters to be annoying, one dimensional stereotypes, so I never bothered remembering any of their names. The MC is a healer who’s a coward and afraid of monsters. He really needs to grow some backbone. He doesn’t have to help anyone if he doesn’t want to, however it feels like he’s being pushed into everything by the fairy. The fairy in the bottle is annoying and useless. Toto is useless throughout the series. Animation & Sound (4/10): The animation is subpar at best. The opening, ending and osts are forgettable. There are no cool fight scenes. The choreography is bland. The healing sequence is a rehashed scene for every encounter against monsters. I’ve skipped it every single time after the first episode because it’s a waste of time. There are no interesting villains in this series to look forward to. The lore behind magic is lame and it’s limited only to healing. While the side characters get some form of development in their little stories, the MC hasn't learnt anything and is still the same pathetic kid he was from the beginning. The MC suffers from a fear of monsters, but it doesn't lead to any interesting exploration and instead is more of a running joke. There isn’t even a reason given why he’s scared of them. Overall (1/10): I didn’t enjoy watching this show. Every episode felt like torture because it’s so excruciatingly boring. Had I not been several episodes in, I would have dropped this anime in a heartbeat. One of the scenes that pissed me off was when the fairy could have gotten her star reading taken to potentially get her memories back, but decided not to because it would be ‘cheating’. So when is not cheating? It’s a convenient bullshit excuse the writer thought of to extend this terrible story because any sane person would want to have their memories rather than go on a stupid journey where you have no idea if you’ll be able to regain them. Merc Storia is too cute and childish for me, like a Disney anime with cliche short stories. 12 of 12 episodes seen
If you read the sypnosis, its not all there is to it. I very much like this anime, never even read the Manga and will not do so sooner or later. What I liked or loved about the Story: It really has a dramatic beginning in the animation that in a young age, he lost or parted with his Father without knowing what happened to him but even if he was shocked by the reality, Merc has given him the PUSH he needed to step in his own two feet and move forward. This was really an interesting production for ALL AGES that tells you 'There is more to life than this, get out off your shell and seek happiness' (Sorry for my grammar or Terms used because I'm just a newb so forgive me). Me: There were many teachings that I forgot in my journey(in reality) and found it in this anime, even if this is a fictional creation, you can still provide or produce or give it a more profound meaning in many stories like a picture book, yes this is more like a wonderful picture book other than being a Manga. What I liked or loved about the Art: The Art is Good but not great, I was actually expecting that Merc could have a human body (like a Genie in a bottle) but nope, she doesn't have any bottom which is very... (how will they pro-STOP!!!) And I was like 'Hey accessories what cha doin in there? B-)' (How did they get in there? Does Merc got hurt putting acc in her bottle even when tumbling down the stairs? And falling underground?) What I liked or loved about the Sounds: For me it was perfectó, even more to the 2nd last arc that was shown in the anime (or was it 3rd?). Where Bird people (were they even bird people?) have a city and have great voices and having a great voice will make you a D--- Ahem, forgot not to spoil the fun. I was in awe and impressed in how well they put singing in Anime (how about Mangas do they have like music in it? or just lyrics?) The Opening Theme was great with a melodramatic piano and of course the Ending Theme as well, Its like I can't get enough even though I do not understand the lyrics because of language walls(is there another term for it? I forgot) but the way the music was created was UNIQUE and Calming. It purifies my heart so badly that I want to buy it for sure. What I liked or loved about the Characters: The characters are good enough for my expectations, I really don't know what to say about them... Yuu is good enough to be the main character, he has the quality- and the pure innocence soul to be good to others, he is potrayed to be a kind and understanding boy and as well as Merc. Merc is a cheerful girl, and I love her VA really well, it suits her. Even not knowing of her past, she still believes she may find it someday which is very heartwarming. Toto was very cute and I want some more Toto-Merchandise!! The way the VA did it, is more than Pikachu's VA which is superb. My Overall Enjoyment to this is 9 or 10. (Maybe 8) P.S. In the last part, I wished they could have portrayed that. 'Even if he doesn't have wings, even in different form- they could learn to accept each other whatever kind they may be, as well as well as the monsters who eat their cloud or rain and can still be accepted as an Angel even without wings, remove the old and bad culture' Is what I would like to have in my Opinion for the last arc in the anime. I really wanted to have more episodes where in the last part he could finally reunite with his father (even in a grave with a last parting letter) and a heroine other than Merc. And the way he heals every monster was REDUNDANT, it doesn't have any uniqueness which is very much unsatisfying. 12 of 12 episodes seen
Story/Characters: So here’s the premise: in this world, people and monsters are living together peacefully. However, not all monsters have been tamed. That why healers exist, whose job is to heal those monsters’ hearts. Our protagonist, Yuu – from “yuusha”, a.k.a. hero in English - is one of them, there’s just one problem: he’s deathly afraid of them, which makes his job quite complicated. And he’s a wimp in all regards anyway. And his sidekick, Merc, is just a tiny girl in a jar whose only power is to float and has lost her memory prior her encounter with Yuu. In the first episode, after a confrontation with one of those monsters, they begin their travelling through the country in order to find a way to restore Merc’s lost memory and for Yuu to overcome his fear. All this setup, which was the first episode, however, is just an excuse. Merc Storia, despite what the title suggests, is not mainly about Merc, but about the unique places they visit through their travels. These mini arcs consist of one or two episodes, and after their problems have been resolved – or partly resolved -, Yuu and Merc moves on to their next destination. And while they’re certainly helping, they’re only there to give an incentive for these mini arc’s main characters to solve their own problems themselves. And the story doesn't shy away from heavy topics: people’s role in their society according to their gender, a father not being able to connect with his own daughter, dealing with loss, keeping up appearances and self-worth, just to name a few. And as I’ve said, each place is very unique: for example, episode 8-9’s mini arc is a musical - I’m not kidding. And don’t expect heavy action. Our hero is not a fighter after all. And sometimes even the monsters themselves play little role in these mini arcs. But if you can get through the episodic premise, you get a damn good story. I ended up in tears multiple times; episode 6-7 is one big tearjerker, you’ll see what I’m talking about. Art: Animation is certainly not this series’ strong suit to be honest, but the backgrounds are gorgeous and more than make up for it, especially later in the series. The already mentioned episode 6-7 is one of the best examples of that. Music/Sound: Let’s start with my pet peeve: the sound effects of the monsters can be annoying and it’s not helping when you’re in the middle of a headache or a migraine. Now that I have this out of the way, I have nothing but praise. The OP, the ED, the background music: it gives the series an aura you could call “comfy” for a lack of a better world. And don’t forget the aforementioned musical episodes. They really outdid themselves on this front. Tl;dr: Merc Storia is a damn good story and if you can overlook some of its flaws, which has nothing to do with its writing, you'll get one of the best anime this year. Please don’t sleep on this one! 12 of 12 episodes seen
Story 5/10 Art 8/10 Sound 7/10 Character 3/10 Enjoyment 7/10 Overall 7/10 4 of 12 episodes seen
Story: I can't say I particularly cared for it. It's a rather charming one, but one that I feel has been done to death, except this time it's more progressive as one might say. Ironically, this actually helped to improve it in my eyes, and I'm supposed to be some evil troglodyte. Art & Sound: The art is honestly very nice, and the voice acting is quite good as well. Some of this probably had to do with the time it took to produce this show, but I feel like what pushed it ahead for me was primarily Merc. She was delightful to watch and listen to. This leads to the next part. Character: Merc gave this a 10. She's tiny, and cuter than a barrel full of puppies. Full of enthusiasm and zest for life. As anyone who knows me can attest; Anyone adding a cute minigirl without any visible legs to something is someone after my own heart. Enjoyment: However, even having best girl 2018 doesn't exactly help elevate a show to peak my interest as a lunatic who actually watched all of and Enjoyed ZeXal of all shows. So, do take this with a grain of salt. For some folks this would be more appealing, but I would much prefer to watch some more Index or Shana. Overall: Not bad, but without Merc, I think I'd drop this show like a brick, instead of just kinda being on-hold. Then again, I'm on hold for a lot of really good stuff, I really should watch more of the stuff from this delightful season. Sadly, this is no Midori Days, but it's a cute show that doesn't do any harm to watch. 12 of 12 episodes seen
The story centers on Yuu, a young boy who lives with his parents in a village where people and monsters live side by side. Yuu is a healer, which in this case means he has the power to heal monster's angry hearts and calm them down. One day, his father brings him a present from one of his long journeys, a jar filled with water. At first, Yuu is angry with this...until the jar comes to life and a mysterious fairy named Merc appears, apparently the spirit of the jar. Over the years, Yuu and Merc become best friends, though they're as different as night and day. But Merc has no memories of her time before she met Yuu, so they decide to go on a journey to see if they can find Merc's lost memories. With the help of a traveling merchant, they travel all over the place, from fairy kingdoms to heavenly metropolises ruled by winged people. In terms of production values, the character designs are very stylish, although some older characters look a little too cutesy looking for their own good, and the animation is fairly consistent. I will say though, the water effects on Merc's hair and the visuals for when Yuu is purifying the monsters are all just beautiful, perfectly matching the show's aesthetic. The music isn't much to write home about, but the soundtrack serves its purpose well. But the opening and ending themes are outright spectacular, both of them being soft, sweet songs that not only perfectly fit the show and its tone, but are just really relaxing. Merc's opening theme in particular is especially nice in that it shows you what you're in for and is unlike any other anime opening theme for a show based on a fantasy world. Oh, and did I mention that Merc's design is absolutely adorable? Look at her! Watery hair, sparkly eyes, and her house is a literal jar? Come on! The characters themselves...are kind of a mixed bag. Yuu in particular just isn't a very interesting lead character. I mean, he's not bad or anything, but he's kinda vanilla. His motivations are very basic, he doesn't change much other than having used to be afraid of monsters and no longer being so by the series' end, and he's not very three-dimensional either. Merc is a little more interesting in that she's much more proactive and is the one pushing him to do things in the first place, but I can imagine some viewers finding her annoying because of this, and her high pitched voice as well. I liked her okay, though. The side characters actually have more interesting personalities and backstories, from an angel boy who's hated by his whole race because he was inexplicably born without wings, or a young bird man who's trying to appease a dark being in order to save his beloved's singing voice. We meet all sorts of colorful characters on Yuu's journey, since the show is very episodic in nature and the characters never stay in one place for very long. I really want to praise this show up the wazoo, as it has a lot that I like about it, and I wish it was better than it actually is. But a lot of problems tend to hold it back. Some episodes feel a little overstuffed, resulting in some rushed writing and pacing. One episode in particular about a girl who's ostracized by her family because she was supposedly born under an evil star wants to find a magical beast, and there's a subplot about the characters trying to save the kingdom from a stampede of monsters. That one in particular suffered a lot because, 1. It tries to cram too many storylines at once, 2. The focus characters were poorly written and developed, never really getting a chance to grow because of those many plotlines, 3. The girl's tutor is really annoying and unnecessarily mean to the girl, and he admits he only puts up with her so he can be promoted, and 4. Literally nothing about the main plot of that episode has been resolved in any way. And keep in mind, this is all in ONE whole episode. Merc Storia's arcs mostly take up two or three episodes, so its usually well paced in this manner, but that episode in particular could have benefitted from an extra one or two. The storyline of the series itself is basic, and the anime mostly has the characters going on adventures and helping people. If you like this sort of thing, this can definitely appeal to you, but for those looking for something less episodic, look elsewhere, as this kind of thing will get on your nerves. The end of the show is rather open ended, and the main story never gets much resolution. But despite this drawbacks, I still like this show. It's not like any other fantasy-based anime out there, where the main character fights and kills monsters and instead heals them. How often do you find fantasy anime where the main character doesn't fight? This would be the perfect anime to show to kids if I wanted to introduce them to anime for the first time. It's got a relaxing aesthetic, beautiful animation, great opening and ending songs, and the characters, as undeveloped as they are, are still pretty nice to watch. Sometimes we just need to kick back and relax, and Merc Storia is that kind of anime. It doesn't try to be grand or ambitious. It just comes and goes, like you're on a stroll, and sometimes, we need anime like that. Merc Storia isn't perfect by any means, and some parts of it could have been done way better, but it's a nice, comfy, relaxing anime that'll heal your tired heart if you're willing to go along for the ride. 12 of 12 episodes seen
Now, while this may sound generic, its execution has more charm, much like Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The villages he visits on his way all have a story-book charm and great visual appeal. He explores a cheerful fairy village, a bird kingdom where its avian looking inhabitants enjoy singing, and much more. In each village, there is a problem that arises due to a monster that has gone out of hand, which the boy ultimately tames with his healing powers. The anime has about 6 story arcs in separate novel villages, and each one contained nice artwork, an interesting quest, and allegorical message. What makes the anime great is how the background art has so much detail and charm, giving off the same feeling of being lost in Zelda: Breath of the Wild's world. Each village looks distinct from each other and truly gives off a wholesome JRPG feeling. Moreover, the various inhabitants of each village have unique designs that makes the world feel alive, as if one is really on a Zelda-esque journey. Likewise, the problems that arise within each village are interesting and resolve in unique ways. The monster designs also have a lot of appeal, which reminded me of Breath of the Fire 4's dragons in some respect. They have a pleasant style to them. Overall, I feel as if people should approach this anime as if they want to relax with Zelda: Breath of the Wild or a cozy JRPG. Approaching this anime for a complex story will lead to disappointment. Instead, it is best to keep in mind the stories are minimalist much like Zelda Breath of the Wild's quests in Rito, Goron, Gerudo, Kakariko, and etc. villages. They all have their charm and sense of idyllic ambiance, which is really this anime's high-point. Besides Merc Storia, I have yet to come across an anime that has captured that wondrous adventurous feeling found in Zelda: Breath of the Wild. 4 of 12 episodes seen
If you expect to watch action, you won't, if you expect deep plots and twists, you won't. Art (9) The art is colorful and beautiful and it gives you a positive and joyful feeling. Sound (10) The Op/End are both relaxing and so beautiful. They really match the anime theme. Characters (7) Characters are basic. There's nothing really special about them, but you hardly focus on them to be honest, since the story mostly focuses on the characters of each place they visit. Overall (8) You can compare it to Kino no Tabi, Aria the animation and maybe Mushishi. it's this kind of anime and probably even focuses on a younger audience. I would love my kids to watch this in the future. |

Yuu, a young healer with the power to heal the hearts of monsters, receives a mysterious bottle from his father as a gift. When Yuu touches the bottle, Merc, a girl made of liquid, appears from it. Merc has no memories from before she met Yuu and wants to learn more about who she is, so the two of them set out on a journey through various countries. And thus begins the comical fantasy of Yuu, an apprentice healer with a fear of monsters, and Merc, the girl in the bottle.
