Mari the Virgin Witch, also known as Junketsu no Maria, is an anime series that premiered on January 11, 2015 with its first episode. The show is based on a manga written and illustrated by Masayuki Ishikawa. In the first episode, we are introduced to our protagonist, Maria, who is a young witch living during the Hundred Years' War in France. Despite being a witch, Maria is a peaceful girl who despises the violence and suffering caused by the ongoing war. To prevent bloodshed and protect innocent lives, Maria uses her magic to interfere with the fighting. This, however, catches the attention of the heavens, who do not approve of her actions.
This, however, catches the attention of the heavens, who do not approve of her actions. Archangel Michael is sent to give Maria a stern warning and remind her of the rules that witches should not intervene in human affairs. If she continues to meddle in the war, Maria's powers will be taken away.
TCU Football 2023 Opponent Preview: Colorado Buffaloes
At halftime of the 2022 season opening contest in Boulder, the debut of new Horned Frogs head coach Sonny Dykes, his heralded offense was held scoreless and TCU clung to a measly 1-point lead thanks to a Derius Davis punt return touchdown. Newly-named QB1 Chandler Morris was forced to the sideline with injury and the new era of TCU Football appeared in peril. The Horned Frogs promptly ran off 31 unanswered points to take the victory and ran off another eleven straight wins to earn a Playoff bid and advance to the National Championship.
In 2023, it will be the Buffaloes debuting a new coach and new QB as Deion Sanders will make his FBS coaching debut with his son Shedeur set to lead the offense on the field. Coach Prime will bring a brand new bag to Fort Worth in the form of a fully overhauled roster. Will that bag indeed be Louis Vuitton as he claims or will the on-field performance be more akin to Hefty? We’ll find out on September 2 at 11 AM CT when the Buffaloes & Horned Frogs open the season under the spotlight of FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff at Amon G. Carter Stadium.

— FOX College Football (@CFBONFOX) May 15, 2023Unfazed by the warning, Maria continues to use her magic to prevent battles and save lives. She is determined to spread peace and love, even if it means going against the divine rules. However, her actions do not go unnoticed by the locals, and soon she gains quite a reputation among the villagers. In this first episode, we also meet two important side characters, Maria's succubus familiar, Artemis, and a young mercenary named Joseph. Artemis serves as Maria's loyal companion, offering her advice and support. Joseph, on the other hand, is initially skeptical of Maria's abilities, but eventually becomes fascinated by her and even falls in love with her. As the episode ends, we are left with a sense of intrigue and an anticipation for what lies ahead in this unique and thought-provoking anime series. Mari the Virgin Witch is not your typical fantasy story; it combines elements of historical fiction, war, and magic to explore deeper themes of love, pacifism, and the struggle between individual freedom and divine will..
Reviews for "The Historical Figures Featured in Mari the Virgin Witch Episode 1"
- John - 2 stars - I was really excited to watch "Mari the virgin witch" after hearing all the hype, but I have to say I was quite disappointed with the first episode. The storyline was confusing and all over the place, and I struggled to connect with any of the characters. The animation was also nothing special, and the dialogue felt forced and unnatural. I'm hoping that the series gets better as it progresses, but based on the first episode, I'm not convinced.
- Sarah - 1 star - I found the first episode of "Mari the virgin witch" to be incredibly dull and uninteresting. The plot was slow and there was no real hook to draw me in. The main character, Mari, didn't leave much of an impression on me and I didn't feel invested in her story at all. The animation was lackluster and the overall production quality felt subpar. I won't be continuing with this series.
- Alex - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "Mari the virgin witch" based on the premise, but unfortunately the first episode failed to live up to my expectations. The pacing was sluggish and the story didn't seem to go anywhere. The humor fell flat and I didn't find myself laughing or even smirking once. Additionally, the characters lacked depth and their interactions felt forced. Overall, I found the first episode to be quite underwhelming and I'm not sure if I'll continue watching.
