  1. Derek - 2/5 stars - "Izetta the last witch had a really interesting concept, but it failed to deliver on its potential. The animation quality was lackluster, with dull and unimpressive fight scenes. The characters were thinly developed and lacked depth, making it difficult to connect with them or care about their fates. The story was also poorly paced, with unnecessary filler episodes and a lack of focus. Overall, I was disappointed with Izetta the last witch and would not recommend it to others."

  2. Sarah - 1/5 stars - "I found Izetta the last witch to be incredibly boring and unoriginal. The plot felt like a rehash of other anime series I've seen before, with nothing new or innovative to offer. The animation quality was subpar and the character designs were bland and unmemorable. Additionally, the character development was lacking, leaving me uninvested in their struggles. I couldn't bring myself to care about the outcome of the story, ultimately making this series a complete waste of time."

  3. Alex - 2/5 stars - "Izetta the last witch started off with promise, but it quickly became repetitive and predictable. The action sequences were underwhelming, lacking in creativity and excitement. The pacing of the story was also quite slow, with numerous exposition dumps that only served to confuse the viewers. The romance subplot felt forced and lacked chemistry. Overall, I was left feeling unsatisfied with Izetta the last witch and wouldn't recommend it to others seeking a captivating and engaging anime experience."
