In the first episode of Grimoire of Zero, titled "The Witch and the Beastfallen," we are introduced to a world where witches are feared and hunted by the populous. Our protagonist, a beastfallen (a being with animal features) named Mercenary, is hired by a group of mercenaries to hunt down a dangerous witch who has been terrorizing nearby villages.
The group's journey to find the witch leads them to a small town where they encounter a young witch by the name of Zero. Despite her youthful appearance, Zero is incredibly powerful, and with her knowledge of magic and her grimoire (a book of spells), she offers to help the group track down the dangerous witch they have been seeking.
Initially hesitant to work with a witch, the group eventually agrees to allow Zero to accompany them on their quest, and they set off into the woods to find their target. Along the way, we learn more about Zero's past and her desire to obtain the grimoire that has been stolen from her by a group of humans.
As the group continues their journey, they encounter a band of thieves who have stolen the grimoire Zero has been searching for. In a battle to reclaim the book, we see just how powerful Zero's magic can be, and it becomes clear that she is not to be underestimated.
As the episode comes to a close, the group finally tracks down their target witch, but things take an unexpected turn when they discover that she is not the monster they believed her to be. With this realization, the group must decide what course of action to take, and we are left with a cliffhanger that leaves us eager to see what happens next.
Overall, "The Witch and the Beastfallen" does an excellent job of introducing us to the world of Grimoire of Zero and establishing the relationships between the main characters. The animation is beautiful and detailed, and the action sequences are thrilling and well-executed. With an intriguing storyline and captivating characters, this first episode sets the stage for what promises to be an exciting and engaging series.
