My Review of "The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic"!
Who knew there was an appropriate wrong way to use healing magic?
Story
Ken Usato, Suzune Inukami, and Kazuki Ryuusen were regular high students until they got summoned into a different world. Discovering that they had their own powers, their mission was to provide assistance in defending the kingdom they stayed in, which would go into a battle with powerful demons. Ken Usato, the main character, was blessed with the rare power of healing magic, leading to an experienced healing commander by the name of Rose to train him with extreme methods to make him a powerful healing user.
Visuals
The visuals are above average. There are definitely a few moments in the anime where I was impressed by the visuals, but they were never really the star of the show.
Characters
Ken Usato is a dedicated and hardworking student. He puts all his effort into his training to improve his abilities as a healing magic user. His leader, Rose, is quite the developed character. Although very tough and strict with her training protocols, she's actually an enjoyable person outside of her work. Her past has shaped her into a great fighter and an even greater healer, making it her goal not to let anyone die. Ken Usato wasn't transported into the new world by himself, however, as his friends Suzune Inukami and Kazuki Ryuusen were summoned alongside him. They're both quite friendly, but they have the powers of light and electricity, making them very strong fighters.
The Good
I loved the way that healing magic was presented in this anime. Although it initially started normally, the ending really showed the creative possibilities of healing, which I was genuinely impressed with. I'm surprised there aren't many other fantasy anime that use healing in the same way. I really liked the charactrers' personalities. The show presented them in ways that don't make them unbearable and completely enjoyable in their own unique ways. I also liked the little comedic moments. They provide a bit of a fun in comparison to most of the seriousness in the show.
The Bad
At first, I was confused what was the "wrong way to use healing magic." Has it ever been wrong to heal yourself for your own personal benefit? I don't think so. It's nothing that big, but it was distrubing me through the anime.... and then it made sense a bit over halfway through the show. To be honest, I didn't really care much for the backstory moments. They just didn't interest me as much as the rest of the story and overall disappointed me a bit.
The Downright Ugly
There was nothing downright ugly about this show.
Is It Worth The Watch?
If you want a fantasy show that does something unique and slightly different from other anime, this is a good option. I think that this show is worth the watch. It gave me a new perspective on how healing magic can work.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope this helped you with your decision on whether to watch this anime or not! If you already have watched it, I hope that you can agree with me with some of the points I made. ^^
