(Average+) The Ancient Magus' Bride

NOTE: Watched the first 13 episodes.

Series in one sentence:
 

A teenage orphan is fine with potentially being sold as some monster's sex slave, but is damn lucky not to end up in this situation.

Series in more sentences:

A magically gifted girl with a bad past and nothing to look forward to gets coaxed into selling herself in the hopes of receiving a place she can finally call home.
A large demonic beast is quick to show up and spends millions on her. He reveals his intentions of training her to become a mage, a nearly extinct class. And marrying her.

 

It was alright. There's a good flow and the characters are pleasant, but still.. alright.

The story itself is great and every episode makes sure to reveal something new, but none of it made me bop up and down in excitement.
Maybe, in a strange way, the two main characters are to thank for that. They are both very calm and serious people; they tend to state their feelings as if they are facts.
It's basically Beauty and the Beast, if Beauty and Beast were socially inept and had digested xanax.
It's a slow and untraditional love story, but I'm fine with that, as long there are more episodes planned.

This first season feels like an introduction to these characters, something cute needs to happen fast. Lewl.
