Wistoria: Wand and Sword is a fantasy anime that never existed a few seasons ago. Fantasy anime are often associated with the isekai genre to the point that it becomes overwhelming. However, the series will not remind you of Rimuru Temptest (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime) or Natsuki Subaru (Re: Zero). Instead, the classic, straight-up fantasy touch Wisteria will nostalgically give you Black Clover vibes, where the strongest is not just the protagonist because the secondary characters are also portrayed convincingly.
This new fantasy and shōnen anime focuses on the main character’s magical abilities and incredible swordsmanship skills. Despite being surrounded by magic users, Will reaches out to others tirelessly. He is not a domineering main character. And with the results of the Grand Magic Festival and the duels between characters, some have shown that in terms of skills and abilities, they really are above others.
